Article Abstract

Aim: To investigate the protein and mRNA expression of semaphorin 6D in gastric carcinoma and its significance.

Methods: The protein and mRNA expression of semaphorin 6D was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting respectively in 30 cases of gastric carcinoma and normal gastric mucosa.

Results: The protein and mRNA expression of semaphorin 6D in gastric carcinoma was significantly higher than that in normal gastric mucosa (0.24 +/- 0.06 vs 0.19 +/- 0.07, 0.26 +/- 0.09 vs 0.20 +/- 0.10, P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Semaphorin 6D may play an important role in the occurrence and development of gastric carcinoma, and is related to tumor angiogenesis.

Background: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric cancer (AFPGC) is resistant to chemotherapy and is associated with poor prognosis. Pediatric gastric cancer has an incidence of 0.02% among gastric cancer patients, with a median survival of 5 months.

Alterations in the structure of the Golgi apparatus play a pivotal role in cancer progression and invasion. A better understanding of how Golgi morphology regulates the metastatic potential of cancer cells could help identify potential treatment strategies. In this study, we investigated how specific structural variations in the Golgi, particularly fragmentation and condensation, influence the malignancy of gastric cancer using human cell lines, xenograft mouse models, and human patient tissue samples.

Gastric metastasis of breast cancer is rare, and clinical data on its treatment and prognosis are limited at present. Herein, we report a case of gastric metastasis arising from invasive ductal and mucinous carcinoma of the breast and review the literature. A 51-year-old woman was diagnosed with infiltrating and mucinous carcinoma of the right breast accompanied by ipsilateral axillary lymph node and subclavian lymph node metastases.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a fatal bile duct malignancy. CCA is intrinsically resistant to standard chemotherapy, responds poorly to it, and has a poor prognosis. Effective treatments for cholangiocarcinoma remain elusive, and a breakthrough in CCA treatment is still awaited.
