Split-dose Lactulose with Adjunctive Oral Bisacodyl and Oral Sodium Phosphate: A Pilot Study of a Novel Bowel Preparation

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Various colonoscopic bowel preparations are in use clinically. Split-dose preparations are generally recommended for morning colonoscopies. We herein present a novel form of bowel preparation with split-dose lactulose as the backbone with oral bisacodyl and sodium phosphate, in a pilot study assessing its safety and efficacy.

Clinical Predictive Value of CD-DST for the Efficacy of Postoperative XELOX Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: Anticancer drug insensitivity/resistance is a bottleneck in the treatment of gastric cancer. To overcome this challenge, we evaluated the clinical utility of an in-vitro collagen gel droplet embedded culture drug sensitivity test (CD-DST) using patient-derived gastric cancer tissues for personalized treatment guidance. 1.2. Methods: We collected the surgically removed fresh tumor …

Expression Mechanism of Immunogenic Cell Death-Related Molecules in Colorectal Cancer

1. Abstract Immunogenic Cell Death (ICD) plays an important role in the treatment of colorectal cancer, and the relevant molecular mechanisms of its role in colorectal cancer are closely related to a variety of Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs), such as calreticulin (CRT), Heat Shock Protein (HSP), Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) …

Roles and Signaling Pathways of CITED1 in Tumors: Overview and Novel Insights

1. Abstract CBP/p300 interacting trans activator with Glu/Asp‑rich car boxy‑terminal domain 1 (CITED1) is a transcription activator belongs to a member of the non-DNA-binding transcription co-regulator family. It regulates diverse transcriptions by binding to CBP/p300 co-activators through its conserved trans activating domain CR2, including TGF-β/BMP-SMAD, estrogen, Wnt-β-catenin and androgen-AR signaling pathways. CITED1 not only plays …

Plexiform Fibromyxoma Is A Rare Benign Gastric Tumor: A Case Report

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Plexiform fibromyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor of the stomach, found almost exclusively in the antrumor pylorus regions. 1.2. Case Presentation: We incidentally found a protruding mucosal lesion in an asymptomatic 38-year-old man upon gastroscopy. The lesion was located in the upper gastric body, with mucosal plica disruption. An abdominal computed …

Role of TGF-Β in Colorectal Cancer: Mechanisms, Diagnosis and Therapies

1. Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a substantial public health challenge across the globe. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a critical pathway in CRC that regulate numerous cellular processes, including immune-suppression, growth inhibition, cell migration, invasion, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and extracellular matrix remodeling. Metastasis is the major cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer. TGF-β …
