Clinical study of submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection in the treatment of submucosal tumor originating from the muscularis propria layer of the esophagus.

Herein, we aimed to evaluate the clinical value and safety of transendoscopic submucosal tunnel tumor resection (STER) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the resection of esophageal submucosal intrinsic muscle tumors. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 68 patients with esophageal submucosal intrinsic muscle tumors treated with STER (STER group, n = 38, March 2018 to January 2020) or ESD (ESD group, n = 30, January 2017 to January 2020) at the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang to compare the treatment efficacy, hospitalization time and costs, and postoperative complications between the 2 groups. All 68 cases were of single lesions.

Forecasting oil consumption with attention-based IndRNN optimized by adaptive differential evolution.

Accurate prediction of oil consumption plays a dominant role in oil supply chain management. However, because of the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, oil consumption has exhibited an uncertain and volatile trend, which leads to a huge challenge to accurate predictions. The rapid development of the Internet provides countless online information (e.

Solute Carrier Family 35 Member F2 Regulates Cisplatin Resistance and Promotes Malignant Progression of Pancreatic Cancer by Regulating RNA Binding Motif Protein 14.

We aimed to explore the role of Solute Carrier Family 35 Member F2 (SLC35F2) in pancreatic cancer (PCa) and to further study whether SLC35F2 regulates cisplatin resistance of PCa cells through the modulation of RNA binding motif protein 14 (RBM14) expression. SLC35F2 expression in 60 pairs of PCa tissues and adjacent ones was studied by RT-PCR analysis. Meanwhile, SLC35F2 expression levels in PCa cell lines were also evaluated by qPCR assay.

Interferon regulatory factor 5‑induced upregulation of zinc‑finger protein 217 promotes pancreatic carcinoma progression.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of zinc‑finger protein 217 (ZNF217) in pancreatic carcinoma (PC) progression. ZNF217‑associated expression and survival data from patients with PC were retrieved from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis server. The mRNA expression level of ZNF217 was detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR.

ASPM facilitates colorectal cancer cells migration and invasion by enhancing β-catenin expression and nuclear translocation.

Increased abnormal spindle-like microcephaly (ASPM) expression has been linked to clinical stage and poor prognosis in cancers, but the molecular mechanisms by which ASPM promotes cell metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been identified. This study showed that the abilities of cell migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were attenuated in ASPM-deficient CRC cell lines. Furthermore, we reported that attenuation of ASPM expression inhibited CRC cell metastasis in vivo.

Mechanism of methyltransferase like 3 in epithelial-mesenchymal transition process, invasion, and metastasis in esophageal cancer.

Role of gastroscopic biopsy of gastric ulcer margins and healed sites in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer: A clinical controlled study of 513 cases.

The present case study aimed to evaluate the effect of gastroscopic biopsy of gastric ulcer margins and healed sites in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. A total of 513 patients who were diagnosed with gastric ulcers using gastroscopy between January 1999 and December 2013 were included in the present study and were divided into either the experimental or the control group. In the control group, samples were only taken from the ulcer margin, whereas in the experimental group samples were taken from the ulcer margin and from the ulcer base.

Isovitexin (IV) induces apoptosis and autophagy in liver cancer cells through endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and novel chemotherapeutic drugs to suppress liver cancer are urgently required. Isovitexin (IV), a glycosylflavonoid, is extracted from rice hulls of Oryza sativa, and has various biological activities. However, the anti-tumor effect of IV against liver cancer has not yet been demonstrated in vitro or in vivo.

The effect of JAK2 knockout on inhibition of liver tumor growth by inducing apoptosis, autophagy and anti-proliferation via STATs and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways.

Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer death, making it as the second most common cause for death from cancer globally. Though many studies before have explored a lot for liver cancer prevention and treatment, there are still a lot far from to know based on the molecular mechanisms. Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) has been reported to play an essential role in the progression of apoptosis, autophagy and proliferation for cells.

Expression of R132H mutational IDH1 in human U87 glioblastoma cells affects the SREBP1a pathway and induces cellular proliferation.

Sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1a (SREBP1a) is a member of the SREBP family of transcription factors, which mainly controls homeostasis of lipids. SREBP1a can also activate the transcription of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) by binding to its promoter region. IDH1 mutations, especially R132H mutation of IDH1, are a common feature of a major subset of human gliomas.

Biopsy from the base and edge of gastric ulcer healing or complete healing may lead to detection of gastric cancer earlier: an 8 years endoscopic follow-up study.

Background/aims: To assess the incidence of gastric cancer development in gastric benign ulcer patients and to evaluate the value of biopsy by taking specimens from both the base and edges of ulcers in contrast to the traditional biopsy which takes specimens from the edges of ulcers only.

Methodology: An endoscopic followup of more than 1 year was conducted on 456 gastric ulcer patients in our hospital for a duration over 8 years. We collected clinical, endoscopic and pathological data and obtained at least 6 biopsies from both the edges and the bases of ulcers healing or complete healing, respectively and assessed H.

Biopsy from the base of gastric ulcer may find gastric cancer earlier.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world; however, its exact mechanism of development which may be relevant to many factors is still unclear, such as age, diet, Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, polyps, chronic gastric ulcer and so on. Chronic gastric ulcer is considered as precancerous lesion of gastric cancer. The above-mentioned diseases are usually diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy.
