Article Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide. Cancer stem cells are known to play an important role in relapse, and metastases of the disease after chemotherapy. Investigation of new drugs, and their combinations targeting these cells and thus eliminating cancer is one of the most urgent needs of today's chemotherapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of Bryophytes like (AA), (HS), (TT), (SR), (BR) species extracted with ethyl alcohol on 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) resistant colorectal cancer cell lines (HCT116 and HT29). After extraction, stock solutions of bryophytes were prepared, and IC values were detected in drug-resistant cells obtained with 5-FU application. CD24+, CD44+/CD133+ surface markers and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated efflux were isolated from both 5-FU treated cells and analyzed using the flow cytometry. In all bryophyte-treated groups, the binding Rho123 (low Rho fluorescence) and Rho (high Rho fluorescence) were sorted from 5-FU resistant HCT116, and HT-29 cells. All types of bryophytes were found cytotoxic. Bryophyte extract reduced the percentage of Rho cells in cultures incubated with 5-FU. In summary, the implementation of these bryophytes might be regarded as an effective approach for treatment of colorectal cancer due to their cytotoxic effect that decreases the recurrence of the disease.Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/01635581.2021.1933098.

Purpose: To evaluate the molecular evolution of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress during colorectal cancer carcinogenesis.
Methods: Fifty-six hairless mice were divided into two groups: control (no intervention); and carcinogenesis (treated with two doses of azoxymethane at 10 mg/kg during the third and the fourth week and dextran sodium sulfate at 2.5% for seven days in the second, fifth, and eighth week).

Introduction: Undiagnosed chronic disease has serious health consequences, and variation in rates of underdiagnosis between populations can contribute to health inequalities. We aimed to estimate the level of undiagnosed disease of 11 common conditions and its variation across sociodemographic characteristics and regions in England.
Methods: We used linked primary care, hospital and mortality data on approximately 1.

Background And Purpose: The prevalence of sequelae following rectal cancer (RC) treatment is high. We investigate the prevalence and temporal change in sexual dysfunction among male RC patient, along with their counselling and treatment needs and associations between sexual dysfunction and clinical factors. Patient/materials and methods: Patient-reported outcome measures were completed 3 and 12 months after RC surgery.

Purpose: Assessing surgical skills is vital for training surgeons, but creating objective, automated evaluation systems is challenging, especially in robotic surgery. Surgical procedures generally involve dissection and exposure (D/E), and their duration and proportion can be used for skill assessment. This study aimed to develop an AI model to acquire D/E parameters in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and verify if these parameters could distinguish between novice and expert surgeons.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) including omega-3 and omega-6 are obtained from diet and can be measured objectively in plasma or red blood cells (RBCs) membrane biomarkers, representing different dietary exposure windows. In vivo conversion of omega-3 and omega-6 PUFAs from short- to long-chain counterparts occurs via a shared metabolic pathway involving fatty acid desaturases and elongase. This analysis leveraged genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for RBC and plasma PUFAs, along with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) to estimate tissue-specific genetically predicted gene expression effects for delta-5 desaturase (FADS1), delta-6 desaturase (FADS2), and elongase (ELOVL2) on changes in RBC and plasma biomarkers.
