Article Abstract
Gastric carcinoma is a frequent malignant tumor worldwide. NM23 plays an important role in pathological processes, including in the occurrence and development of tumors. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of NM23 transfection of human gastric carcinoma cells (BGC-823) on growth and metastases of BGC-823 abdominal cancer xenografts in nude mice. BGC-823 cells were transfected with an adenovirus vector for (NM23-OE), transfected with an empty vector (NC), or were not transfected (Ctrl). Eighteen female BALB/c-nu mice were randomly divided into three groups (six per group) according to the type of BGC-823 cells administered by intraperitoneal injection. After 2 weeks, necropsies of mice were performed, abdominal circumferences were measured, and abdominal cavities were searched by ultrasound. In order to observe the xenografts in nude mice, there were gross macroscopic observations and microscopic observations. In addition, immunohistochemical analysis and western blot of NM23 were also performed. Green fluorescence in the NM23-OE and NC cells indicated successful transfection. The multiplicity of infection is 80%. A comparison of the three groups of mice indicated the NM23-OE group had positive conditions (abdominal circumferences: 81.83 ± 2.40 mm), but the other groups had negative conditions and enlarged abdomens (NC: 90.83 ± 2.32 mm; Ctrl: 92.67 ± 2.07 mm). Ultrasound observations confirmed large tumors in the NC and Ctrl groups, but did not find in the NM23-OE group. There were no obvious ascites in the NM23-OE group, but the cytological examination of ascites exfoliation in NC and Ctrl groups indicated that there were large and deep-stained gastric carcinoma cells. Tumor expression of NM23 was greater in the NM23-OE group than in the NC and Ctrl groups (both < 0.05). In conclusion, transfection of BCG-823 cells with rather than an empty vector (NC) or no vector (Ctrl) led to reduced growth and metastases of abdominal cancer xenografts in nude mice.

Gastric cancer is a significant health concern worldwide, and its diagnosis and management are of paramount importance. Ectopic pancreas (EP) refers to an embryological abnormality where healthy pancreatic tissue develops without anatomical, vascular, or neural communication with the normal pancreas. We report the case of a patient whose initial endoscopic evaluation suggested early gastric cancer, but computed tomography scan (CT scan) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) indicated a locally advanced tumor.

Gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy characterized by both exocrine and neuroendocrine components. Treatment options for metastatic cases are limited, with typical therapeutic approaches involving a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. A 68-year-old male with metastatic gastric MANEC was treated with targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy, including S-1, apatinib, cadonilimab, and paclitaxel.

Background: Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) originates from undifferentiated stem cells in the neck of glands within the lamina propria of the mucosa. Primarily affecting the stomach, SRCC can also involve the breast, pancreas, gallbladder, colon, and bladder, although these cases are rare. SRCC of the prostate is extremely rare, and diagnosing it pelvic puncture is particularly challenging.

A 62-year-old man was diagnosed with Stage Ⅲ signet ring cell carcinoma of the lower thoracic esophagus. The patient underwent 2 courses of neoadjuvant cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil(SP therapy), demonstrating stable efficacy. Subsequently, the patient underwent subtotal esophagectomy with thoracoabdominal 2-field lymphadenectomy via right thoracotomy, followed by esophageal reconstruction using a gastric tube through a retrosternal route.

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, such as gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and esophageal cancer, pose a significant medical and economic burden globally, accounting for the majority of new cancer cases and deaths each year. A lack of knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of GI cancers is reflected in the low efficacy of treatment for individuals with late stage and recurring illness. Understanding the molecular pathways that promote the growth of GI cancers may open doors for their therapy.
