Gastric lymph collected from the non-secreting stomach of anesthetized dogs contained glucose, Na+, K+ and creatine phosphokinase in concentrations that were similar to those in arterial and gastric venous plasma. Gastric lymph contained greater concentrations of pyruvate and lactate than in either arterial or gastric venous blood. Gastric lymph contained a high concentration of total protein similar to that in simultaneously collected hepatic lymph. Gastric lymph was collected before and after the pylorus was ligated and the stomach distended with air. These procedures were used in another study in which total protein in gastric lymph was reported to be much lower than found in the present study. The lymph to plasma ratio for protein was decreased from 0.85 +/- .04 to 0.69 +/- .04. Pyloric ligation alone caused no change in lymph protein concentration.

The increasing incidence of gastric cancer (GC) in the Kashmir Valley is concerning, but its root causes are largely unknown. Dysregulated activation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway has been linked to various cancers, and the Human Hedgehog Interacting Protein (HHIP), a tumor suppressor, is frequently dysregulated in malignancies. However, the expression of the HHIP gene in GC is inconsistent and poorly understood.

Unlabelled: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the technique of choice in the management of early gastric cancer. Recently, it is also considered as an absolute indication in selected cases of early undifferentiated gastric cancer (U-EGC).
Objectives: In the present study, the first documented cases of ESD in patients with U-EGC are presented and analyzed.

Background: Lymphatic metastasis in gastric cancer (GC) profoundly influences its prognosis, but the precise mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we identified the long noncoding RNA MIR181A2HG as being upregulated in GC and associated with LNs metastasis and prognosis.
Methods: The expression of MIR181A2HG in GC was identified through bioinformatics screening analysis and qRT-PCR validation.

We report a rare case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the gall bladder (GB) causing portal vein tumor thrombus. A 40-year-old gentleman presented with acute-onset right upper abdominal pain. Ultrasonography revealed multiple calculi in the GB with wall thickening, suggesting acute cholecystitis.
