Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) is a regulatory factor of intracellular oxygen supersession. The expression or increased activity of HIF-1α is closely related to various human cancers. Previously, IDF-11774 was demonstrated to inhibit HSP70 chaperone activity and suppress the accumulation of HIF-1α. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of IDF-11774 on gastric cancer cell lines. Treatment with IDF-11774 was found to markedly decrease the proliferation, migration, and invasion of the gastric cancer cell lines. Furthermore, the phosphorylation levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, p38, and Jun N-terminal kinase in the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways were markedly increased in a dose-dependent manner, ultimately promoting apoptosis via the induction of cell cycle arrest. Our findings indicate that HIF-1α inhibitors are potent drugs for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Microbiome dysbiosis in reflux esophagitis has been extensively studied. However, limited research has examined microbiota across different segments of the upper gastrointestinal tract in reflux esophagitis. In this study, we investigated microbial alterations in three esophageal segments (upper, middle, and lower) and the gastric fundus of reflux esophagitis patients and healthy controls.

Background: Barrett's mucosa in the remnant esophagus (BMRE) is often identified after gastric pull-up reconstruction after esophagectomy. This study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of BMRE and the factors that affect the development of BMRE.
Methods: The characteristics of BMRE and factors affecting its occurrence were studied in patients with subtotal esophagectomy and gastric pull-up reconstruction who survived at least 3 years after esophageal cancer surgery and who were evaluated by endoscopy.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of combining PD-1 inhibitors with chemotherapy in conversion therapy for patients with stage IV gastric cancer and to determine the populations most likely to benefit from this regimen.
Methods: Data from patients with stage IV gastric cancer who received conversion therapy with PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy between January 2018 and December 2022 at multiple centers were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent conversion surgery were categorized into a surgery group, while those who did not were placed into a palliative group.

Introduction And Aim: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are rare neoplasms originating in neuroendocrine cells from the gastric mucosa and submucosa, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and pancreas. Our aim was to describe their histopathologic, endoscopic, and clinical characteristics and the experience with these tumors at a tertiary care hospital center in the Colombian Southwest.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective, analytic, observational, and descriptive study included 93 patients diagnosed with GEP-NETs, within the time frame of 2018 and 2022.
