Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment; however, a significant proportion of gastric cancer (GC) patients do not respond to this therapy. Consequently, there is an urgent need to elucidate the mechanisms underlying resistance to ICIs and identify robust biomarkers capable of predicting the response to ICIs at treatment initiation. In this study, we collected GC tissues from 28 patients prior to the administration of anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) immunotherapy and conducted protein quantification using high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS).

Programmed death 1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) targeting therapy is widely applied in clinics for gastric cancer treatment. Nevertheless, the clinical response is not well acceptable due to the exosomal PD-L1. Hence, abrogation of the exosomal PD-L1 may be a strategy to sensitize the gastric cancer cell to PD-1 targeting therapy.

Macrocyclic compounds, characterized by cyclic structures, often originate from either modified forms of unicyclic canonical molecules or natural products. Within the field of medicinal chemistry, there has been a growing fascination with drug-like macrocycles in recent years, primarily due to compelling evidence indicating that macrocyclization can significantly influence both the biological and physiochemical properties, as well as the selectivity, when compared to their acyclic counterparts. The approval of contemporary pharmaceutical agents like Lorlatinib underscore the notable clinical relevance of drug-like macrocycles.

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers encompass a group of malignancies affecting the digestive system, including the stomach, esophagus, liver, colon, rectum and pancreas. These cancers represent a significant global health burden, necessitating effective treatment strategies. Small-molecule drugs have emerged as crucial therapeutic options in the fight against GI cancers due to their oral bioavailability, targeted mechanisms of action, and well-established safety profiles.

Neddylation is the writing of monomers or polymers of neural precursor cells expressed developmentally down-regulated 8 (NEDD8) to substrate. For neddylation to occur, three enzymes are required: activators (E1), conjugators (E2), and ligators (E3). However, the central role is played by the ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes E2M (UBE2M) and E2F (UBE2F), which are part of the E2 enzyme family.

Background: Sufficient physical activity (PA) and limited screen time (ST) have been shown to be positively associated with a variety of mental health outcomes. It has been known that PA and ST are independently associated with life satisfaction. Whereas, little is known about the association between combinations of PA and ST with life satisfaction in adults.

Current Therapeutic modalities provide no survival advantage to gastric cancer (GC) patients. Targeting the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) is a viable therapeutic strategy against advanced HER-2 positive GC. Antibody-drug conjugates, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and bispecific antibodies are emerging as novel drug forms that may abrogate the resistance to HER-2-specific drugs and monoclonal antibodies.

Gastric cancer remains one of the major contributors to global cancer mortality, although there is no promising target drug in clinics. Hence, the identification of novel targeted drugs for gastric cancer is urgent. As a promising strategy for inducing ferroptosis for gastric cancer treatment, the ferroptosis inducer is a potential drug.

Large-scale sports events with high-level competition as the main content will have a great impact on the host city whether from the economic level or from the social level. With the improvement of human civilization, people realize that the holding of large-scale sports events not only has a positive impact on the economy and society but also brings some negative effects, such as waste of resources and environmental pollution, which have attracted the attention of the government and investors. Therefore, how to scientifically, comprehensively, and reasonably evaluate large-scale sports events, especially the accurate evaluation of their economic and social effects, has become the focus of attention.

Though various therapeutic strategies have been developed to overcome gastric cancer, the overall prognosis and therapeutic effect are still not optimistic. As a novel identified type of cell death, ferroptosis has been considered as a promising tumor suppression mechanism with therapeutic potential against gastric cancer. In this work, we screened a collection of 4890 bioactivity compounds and committed to find novel agents that can induce apoptosis in gastric cancer.

Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by decreased bone mass and deterioration of bone microstructure, which leads to increased bone fragility and increased risk of fractures. Casein kinase 2 interacting protein 1 (CKIP-1, also known as PLEKHO1) is involved in the biological process of bone formation, differentiation and apoptosis, and is a negative regulator of bone formation. QiangGuYin (QGY) is a famous TCM formula that has been widely used in China for the clinical treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis for decades, but the effect in regulating CKIP-1 on osteoporosis is not fully understood.

Anxiety symptoms are common among adolescents. A well-validated and easy-to-use tool is indispensable to measure and detect anxiety for timely interventions. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item (GAD-7) is a self-report scale used to measure the severity of anxiety and has been validated in adult populations, but psychometric properties of the GAD-7 remained rarely tested in adolescents.

With the continuous improvement of living standards, the level of physical development of adolescents has improved significantly. The physical functions and healthy development of adolescents are relatively slow and even appear to decline. This paper proposes a novel data mining algorithm based on big data for monitoring of adolescent student's physical health to overcome this problem and enhance young people's physical fitness and mental health.

Purpose: Referring to global cancer statistics, the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) was ranked sixth; however, detailed mechanisms underlying its development were not thoroughly investigated. Previous studies have reported that inhibition of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 8 (USP8) induced degradation of several receptor tyrosine kinases, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), etc. Nevertheless, the regulation of HER-2 by USP8 and the molecular mechanisms controlling their role in the pathogenesis of GC remain unknown.

A simple and safe triangle-valve technique (TVT) was applied in proximal gastrectomy (PG) in order to prevent postoperative gastric reflux among patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG). The clinical outcomes were evaluated in comparison to those of canonical total gastrectomy (TG). This retrospective study of 74 AEG patients compared two surgical procedures, PG-TVT (n=44) and TG (n=30), in terms of surgical outcomes, postoperative complications and nutritional status.

Background: Ubiquitin specific peptidase 8 (USP8) has been reported to induce the degradation of several receptor tyrosine kinases such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), among which human epidermal growth factor receptor-3 (HER-3) is one of them. However, the role and functional mechanisms of USP8 and HER-3 in gastric cancer (GC) remain unknown.

Objective: To explore the function and mechanism of USP8 and HER-3 in the progression of GC.

Gastrointestinal tumor (GIT) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system, which seriously threatens people's health and life. With the deepening of the study on the mechanism of tumor immune escape, programmed death receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) has been proved to interact with the tumor microenvironment to mediate tumor immune escape. PD-L1 inhibitor is a hot spot in tumor immunotherapy in recent years, which can restore the activity of T cells, enhance the body's ability of immune response, and ultimately enable the immune system to effectively identify and kill gastric cancer cells, then achieve long-term tumor remission in patients with GITs.
