Since two-photon microscopy (TPM) can obtain high-resolution images at cellular and subcellular level and moxifloxacin has multiphoton fluorescence characteristic, our study aimed to explore the feasibility and diagnostic value of moxifloxacin-assisted TPM in different human colorectal diseases, including low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN), high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) and cancer tissues. Excitation power for TPM imaging with and without moxifloxacin was (2.74 ± 0.16) mW and (0.28 ± 0.02) mW, respectively (p < 0.05). Whether labeled with moxifloxacin or not, images of normal, LGIN, HGIN and cancer tissues all reached the strongest signal at 30 μm from the mucosa. Normalized fluorescence intensity of TPM images with moxifloxacin was approximately 10 times stronger than that without moxifloxacin. Fluorescence signal was differed significantly in normal, LGIN, HGIN and cancer tissues with or without moxifloxacin (p < 0.05). Besides, moxifloxacin-assisted TPM could present variant tissue features with different colorectal diseases, such as the crypt opening, glandular structure, adjacent glandular space and fluorescence distribution.

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.

Importance: Perioperative bleeding is common in general surgery. The POISE-3 (Perioperative Ischemic Evaluation-3) trial demonstrated efficacy of prophylactic tranexamic acid (TXA) compared with placebo in preventing major bleeding without increasing vascular outcomes in noncardiac surgery.
Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of prophylactic TXA, specifically in general surgery.

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the role of the microrchidia (MORC) family, a group of chromatin remodeling proteins, as the therapeutic and prognostic markers for colorectal cancer (CRC).
Background: MORC protein family genes are a highly conserved nucleoprotein superfamily whose members share a common domain but have distinct biological functions. Previous studies have analyzed the roles of MORCs as epigenetic regulators and chromatin remodulators; however, the involvement of MORCs in the development and pathogenesis of CRC was less examined.
