Purpose: Antihypertensive medications may impact colorectal cancer risk. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of associations, with colorectal cancer risk, of five classes of antihypertensive medications: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), beta-blockers (BBs), calcium channel blockers (CCBs), and diuretics.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library to identify relevant studies evaluating associations of ACEIs, ARBs, BBs, CCBs, and diuretics with colorectal cancer risk. Meta-analytic risk ratios (RRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated using the inverse variance method.
Results: No overall significant associations with colorectal cancer risk were observed; ACEIs (5 studies) RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.91-1.23, ARBs (5 studies) RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.80-1.11, BBs (4 studies) RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.92-1.08, CCBs (4 studies) RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.88-1.18, and diuretics (6 studies) RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.90-1.17. There was considerable heterogeneity across studies, partly explained by differences in study design and location. When stratified by study location, there was significantly reduced colorectal cancer risk for ARB use in Asian populations (2 studies, RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.58-0.83).
Conclusion: No significant colorectal cancer risk with ACEIs, BBs, CCBs, or diuretics was observed. ARB use may be associated with decreased risk of colorectal cancer in Asian populations, although additional studies in diverse populations are needed to confirm associations and help understand possible reasons for geographical differences.

Many lines of evidence suggest that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are closely associated with the occurrence and progression of colon cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the regulatory effects and mechanisms of circ_0075829 on ferroptosis and immune escape in colon cancer. We utilized colon cancer cell lines and a xenograft mouse model to analyze the function of circ_0075829 in vitro and in vivo.

However, the exact mechanism underlying this pathway remains unclear. PI3K inhibitor and activator were added separately to clarify the role of the PI3K pathway in reversing drug resistance.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic sigmoid extraperitoneal colostomy combined with pelvic peritoneal closure in abdominoperineal resection for low rectal cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 162 patients with low rectal cancer, who underwent laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection from January 2015 to January 2019 at the Affiliated Peace Hospital of Changzhi Medical College. Extraperitoneal stoma construction was performed in 98 patients (study group), while 64 patients (control group) underwent the procedure without suturing the pelvic peritoneum.

Nonylphenol (NP) is a common environmental contaminant and endocrine disruptor. Our previous research demonstrated that NP could promote the proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells; however, the specific mechanism remains unclear. miRNA sequencing revealed that NP upregulated the expression levels of microRNA(miR)-151a-3p in CRC.

Gastric cancer (GC), a prevalent malignancy worldwide, encompasses a multitude of biological processes in its progression. Recently, ferroptosis, a novel mode of cell demise, has become a focal point in cancer research. The microenvironment of gastric cancer is composed of diverse cell populations, yet the specific gene expression profiles and their association with ferroptosis are not well understood.
