Background: (. ) is a part of normal gastrointestinal microbiota but it could also cause human gastrointestinal diseases. Understanding the mechanism of . in the progression of gastrointestinal tumors can provide novel prevention and treatment strategies for gastrointestinal tumors.

Methods: The infection score was calculated by single sample GSEA (ssGSEA). Weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis were used to identify genes related to infection in gastrointestinal tumors. Hub genes were selected by machine learning methods to establish a diagnostic model. The diagnostic performance of the model was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and validated in three external datasets. After determining the biomarkers, immune infiltration analysis and GSEA were further performed. The mRNA expressions of the biomarkers in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) cells and the invasion and migration of the tumor cells were detected by conducting experiments.

Results: The . infection score was lower in tumor samples than in normal samples. Eight hub genes were selected from a total of 28 genes associated with -related dysbiosis in gastrointestinal tumors to establish an accurate diagnostic model. The AUC values of and were all greater than 0.7 in three external datasets and the mRNA expression pattern was consistent with TCGA cohort, therefore and were selected as the diagnostic biomarkers. and exhibited significant positive correlations with most immune cells, and inflammation-related pathways were activated in the high expression groups of and . Moreover, was high-expressed but was low-expressed in STAD cells, and silencing suppressed the invasion and migration of STAD cells.

Conclusions: Overall, we identified and validated 8 robust genes related to applying bioinformatics and machine learning algorithms, providing theoretical foundations for the relationship between -related dysbiosis and gastrointestinal tumors.

Aim: Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has gained significant importance in treating cancers. The current study is a meta-analysis that aimed to assess the short-term efficacy and long-term prognostic impact of NOSES and conventional laparoscopic (CL) surgery in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Method: Published reports in several medical databases up to February 2024 were searched and information pertinent to outcomes of NOSES and CL in retrospective and randomized studies to treat CRC was collected.

Aim: The risk of lymph node metastasis after endoscopic resection of high-risk T1 colorectal cancer prompts additional resection. However, age and comorbidities are considered in decision-making and some surgeons opt for observation. We compared the long-term outcomes of these approaches with the aim of clarifying the need for additional resection.

Background: McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is an uncommon and severe disorder caused by large hypersecretory tumors located in the distal colorectal area. Excessive secretion from adenomas is an unusual clinical manifestation that leads to severe electrolyte and fluid depletion, subsequently resulting in kidney injury. Successful treatment relies on quick and cooperative decision-making for timely intervention.

Background: This study investigated the oral microbiome signatures associated with upper gastrointestinal (GI) and pancreaticobiliary cancers.

Methods: Saliva samples from cancer patients and age- and sex-matched healthy controls were analyzed using 16S rRNA-targeted sequencing, followed by comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.

Results: Significant dissimilarities in microbial composition were observed between cancer patients and controls across esophageal cancer (EC), gastric cancer (GC), biliary tract cancer (BC), and pancreatic cancer (PC) groups (R = 0.

Background: First-line treatment for advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy. In clinical practice, HER2 positivity is identified through immunohistochemistry (IHC) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), whereas deep learning (DL) can predict HER2 status based on tumor histopathological features. However, it remains uncertain whether these deep learning-derived features can predict the efficacy of anti-HER2 therapy.
