AI Article Synopsis
- Objectives of the study include evaluating how well postoperative gastric cancer patients follow prescribed oral nutritional calcium supplementation and identifying factors that influence their compliance.
- The research involved 269 patients, with 228 valid responses collected using a questionnaire and a medication adherence scale to assess compliance levels.
- Results showed that the average compliance score was moderate to low, with education level, income, time since surgery, beliefs about medication, and social support identified as key factors affecting adherence, highlighting the need for targeted nursing interventions.
Article Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the compliance of postoperative gastric cancer patients with oral nutritional calcium supplementation and explore its influencing factors, in order to provide a reference for formulating relevant nursing interventions.
Methods: A total of 269 postoperative patients with gastric cancer admitted to the third department of surgery of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from February to July 2020 were selected retrospectively through convenient sampling. A general information questionnaire and the Chinese version of the modified medication adherence eight-item scale were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey, in order to evaluate the compliance of postoperative gastric cancer patients with oral nutritional supplementation.
Results: A total of 269 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 228 valid questionnaires were finally recovered. The compliance score for oral nutritional calcium supplements in postoperative patients with gastric cancer was (6.43±0.21). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the patients' education level, family monthly average income, postoperative time, medication belief and social support were factors influencing postoperative compliance with oral nutritional supplementation (P<0.05).
Conclusions: The compliance of postoperative gastric cancer patients with oral nutritional calcium supplements is at a medium to low level. Patients' education level, family monthly average income, postoperative time, medication belief, and social support are the main influencing factors. It is necessary to formulate and implement relevant interventions to improve compliance.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) burden is currently evolving with regional differences associated with complex behavioural, environmental, and genetic risk factors. The LEGACy study is a Horizon 2020-funded multi-institutional research project conducted prospectively to provide comprehensive data on the tumour biological characteristics of gastroesophageal cancer from European and LATAM countries.
Material And Methods: Treatment-naïve advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma patients were prospectively recruited in seven European and LATAM countries.

Gastric cancer (GC), one of the most common and heterogeneous malignancies, is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide and is closely related to dietary habits. Fatty acid is one of the main nutrients of human beings, which is closely related to diabetes, hypertension and other diseases. However, the correlation between fatty acid metabolism and the development and progression of GC remains largely unknown.

The prominence of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has surged in cancer research due to their distinctive properties and impact on cancer development. This review delves into the role of circRNAs in four key cancer types: colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric cancer (GC), liver cancer (HCC), and lung cancer (LUAD). The focus lies on their potential as cancer biomarkers and drug targets.

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is characterized by an increased risk of diffuse gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer, and is caused by pathogenic germline variants of E-cadherin and -E-catenin, which are key regulators of cell-cell adhesion. However, how the loss of cell-cell adhesion promotes cell dissemination remains to be fully understood. Therefore, a three-dimensional computer model was developed to describe the initial steps of diffuse gastric cancer development.

No biomarker can effectively screen for early gastric cancer (EGC). Players in the A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM)-natural killer group 2 member D (NKG2D) receptor axis may have a role for that. As a proof-of-concept pilot study, the expression of ADAM8, ADAM9, ADAM10, ADAM12, ADAM17, and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related sequence A (MICA), a ligand for NKG2D, in gastric cancer was investigated in silico using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.
