Background: is a unique variety of in China which is only distributes in Chishui City, Guizhou Province and Luzhou City, Sichuan Province. Its dried leaves are used by local residents as tea to drink with light yellow and special aroma for health care. It has high potential economic medicinal value. Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is the third most frequent malignancy and its incidence and mortality is increasing. However, the current common treatments for COAD bring great side effects. In recent years, natural products and their various derivatives have shown significant potential to supplement conventional therapies and to reduce associated toxicity while improving efficacy. In order to overcome the limitations of traditional treatment methods, the global demand and development of natural anti-COAD drugs were increasingly hindered.
Aim: To investigate the potential targets and mechanisms of anti-COAD.
Methods: Nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry was used to identified the compounds of . Network pharmacology analysis and survival analysis was used in this study to investigate the anti-COAD effect and mechanism of .
Results: Firstly, a total of 13 compounds were identified. Secondly, 10 active ingredients for 204 potential targets were screened and protein-protein interaction analysis showed that , , , , , , , , were hub targets. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that exerted anti-COAD effect through multiple functions and pathways. Then, the analysis of survival and stage indicated that was highly expressed in COAD and the overall survival of high- and high-CYP19A1 COAD patients was significantly shorter than the low group and there was significant difference in MAPK and RELA expression between different stages. Finally, the molecular docking results demonstrated the binding affinities and sites between active ingredients and , STAT3, ESR1.
Conclusion: Our study systematically demonstrated the potential anti-COAD mechanism of and provided a theoretical basis for its further application in the COAD treatment.

Background: The association between preoperative liver function and short-term outcomes after gastrointestinal cancer surgery is unknown. This study investigated the impact of Child-Pugh score-based preoperative liver dysfunction on short-term outcomes after distal gastrectomy and right hemicolectomy.
Materials And Methods: We included patients who underwent distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer or right hemicolectomy for colon cancer between 2018 and 2022 from the Japanese National Clinical Database.

Mediastinal masses often present acutely as medical emergencies, necessitating prompt and accurate diagnosis. Imaging-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) plays a pivotal role in rapidly identifying rare mediastinal tumours and differentiating them from other potential aetiologies, enabling timely intervention. Primary mediastinal germ cell tumours (PMGCTs) constitute approximately 15% of adult mediastinal neoplasms.

Here, we report the case of a 74-year-old man who developed diarrhea, abdominal pain, and oral intake difficulty and was subsequently hospitalized after receiving atezolizumab for pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography and enterocolonoscopy revealed active inflammation in the small intestine but not in the colon, leading to the final diagnosis of irAE enteritis.

Background: Appendiceal adenocarcinomas and low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) are rare tumours. Much of the existing knowledge is derived from registry-based studies, particularly the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database in the USA.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the Swedish Cancer Registry, Swedish Cause of Death Registry, and the National Patient Registry to analyse demographic characteristics and outcomes of patients diagnosed with appendiceal adenocarcinoma or LAMN between 2005 and 2019.

Aims: To determine the optimal extent of lymph node dissection for non-metastatic colon cancer by tumor location based on the therapeutic value index (TVI) for each lymph node station.
Methods: Consecutive patients with surgical stage I-III colon or rectosigmoid cancer in the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum database who underwent curative resection between January 2003 and December 2014 were analyzed. The TVI was defined as the incidence of lymph node metastasis multiplied by 5-year overall survival and calculated for each nodal station stratified by tumor location.
