Purpose: To explore the role of FKBP prolyl isomerase 10 () protein in the progression of gastric cancer.

Methods: Four independent gastric cancer databases (GSE27342, GSE29272, GSE54129 and TCGA-STAD) were used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis was used to identify the abnormally active pathways in patients with gastric cancer. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify genes with stable prognostic value in gastric cancer patients based on three independent gastric cancer databases (GSE15459, GSE62254, TCGA-STAD). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to explore the possible pathways related to . The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was employed to determine the expression of mRNA in the HGC-27 and MKN-7 cell lines. Adhesion assay was used to detect changes in cell adhesion ability. , , , , , , , , , and β-actin were evaluated by Western blot (WB).

Results: We first performed differential expression genes (DEGs) screening of four independent GC databases (GSE27342, GSE29272, GSE54129 and TCGA-STAD). Eighty-nine genes showed consistent up-regulation in GC, the results of pathway analysis showed that they were related to "Focal adhesion". The prognostic value of these 89 genes was tested in three independent GC databases GSE15459, GSE62254 and TCGA-STAD cohort. Finally, 12 genes, in which the expression of was prominently increased in patients with lymph node metastasis (LNM), showed stable prognostic value. The following gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) also showed that is mainly involved in cell adhesion process, while adhesion experiments confirmed that cell adhesion was down-regulated after silencing in GC cells, and adhesion-related molecules integrin αV and α6 were down-regulated.

Conclusion: may be used as a marker for lymph node metastasis of GC and could be used as a potential target for future treatment of GC.

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection causes gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. The infection is typically acquired in childhood and persists throughout life. The major impediment to successful therapy is antibiotic resistance.

Effectiveness of Postoperative Dietary Intervention in Patients with Gastric Cancer who Underwent Gastrectomy: Quasi-Experimental Study Design.

Semin Oncol Nurs

December 2024

College of Nursing, Research Institute of Nursing Innovation, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea. Electronic address:

Objectives: This article aims to investigate the effects of a postoperative dietary intervention on fatigue, self-efficacy in managing gastrointestinal side effects, self-efficacy for nutritional management, self-care activity, and unmet nursing needs among patients with gastric cancer who have undergone gastrectomy.

Methods: We used a quasi-experimental study design (nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest). Data were collected from 59 patients with gastric cancer (30 in the experimental group and 29 in the control patients) hospitalized for gastrectomy in Daegu, South Korea.

Objective: Overexpression of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) is thought to be more aggressive in gastric cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the predictability of HER2 status and other prognostic pathologic parameters using [F]FDG PET/CT and to investigate its impact on survival.

Methods: Pretreatment metabolic parameters measured by [F]FDG PET/CT as a prognostic factor were retrospectively evaluated in 117 HER2-analysed patients.

Untangling rapunzel syndrome: A unique presentation of gastric trichobezoar.

Int J Surg Case Rep

December 2024

Department of Pathology, Health Plus Diagnostics, Gorakhpur, India.

Introduction And Importance: Rapunzel syndrome is a rare condition that results from trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling) and trichophagia (hair eating), causing a trichobezoar (hairball) to form This syndrome typically affects young females with psychiatric conditions and presents with symptoms like chronic abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and malnutrition. The condition is often diagnosed late, leading to serious gastrointestinal complications.

Case Presentation: A 19-year-old female from a rural community presented with chronic abdominal pain, vomiting, and nutritional deficiencies, including scaly skin and koilonychia.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how lymphovascular invasion (LVI) affects overall survival in gastric cancer patients at pN0 stage after they've undergone surgery to remove the tumor.
  • - Out of 497 patients reviewed, 19.9% had LVI, which was linked to significantly poorer survival rates; further analysis identified LVI and the number of examined lymph nodes as independent predictors of survival.
  • - The findings suggest that for better outcomes, it is crucial to dissect more than 15 lymph nodes during surgery for patients with pN0 stage gastric cancer, especially those with LVI.
