Colorectal cancer, the third most prevalent malignant cancer, is associated with poor prognosis. Recent studies have investigated the mechanisms underlying cuproptosis and disulfidptosis in colorectal cancer. However, whether genes linked to these processes impact the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients through analogous mechanisms remains unclear. In this study, we developed a model of cuproptosis and disulfidptosis in colorectal cancer and concurrently explored the role of the pivotal model gene HSPA8 in colorectal cancer cell lines. Our results revealed a positive correlation between cuproptosis and disulfidptosis, both of which are emerging as protective factors for the prognosis of CRC patients. Consequently, a prognostic model encompassing HSPA8, PDCL3, CBX3, ATP6V1G1, TAF1D, RPL4, and RPL14 was constructed. Notably, the key gene in our model, HSPA8, exhibited heightened expression and was validated as a protective prognostic factor in colorectal cancer, exerting inhibitory effects on colorectal cancer cell proliferation. This study offers novel insights into the interplay between cuproptosis and disulfidptosis. The application of the prognostic model holds promise for more effectively predicting the overall survival of colorectal cancer patients.

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.
