Authors: Wu Jun-Chen , Cheng Hua-Xi , Lan Qiu-Sheng , Xu He-Yang , Zeng Yu-Jie , Lai Wei , Chu Zhong-Hua
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

The incidence of colon cancer has been progressively increasing over time, whereas penile metastasis of colon cancer has remained exceedingly uncommon. Since the prognosis for colon cancer with BRAF V600E mutation is relatively unfavorable, further exploration and investigation are still required to develop treatment strategies for such rare cases.

CASE SUMMARY

About one year after surgery and chemotherapy, a 50-year-old patient with sigmoid colon cancer developed a mass at the base of the patient's penis, accompanied by severe tenderness and pain during urination. With disease progression, multiple metastatic nodules also emerged in other regions of the penis, including the coronal sulcus. The nodules located in the coronal sulcus were excised for histopathological examination. The histopathological findings revealed that the nodules were metastases originating from the sigmoid colon cancer, with a BRAF V600E mutation detected. This prompted a modification of the therapy regimen of cetuximab, dabrafenib and trametinib, which effectively held back the progression of penile metastasis in the patient.

CONCLUSION

Combining the BRAF/MEK-targeted therapy with cetuximab demonstrates a favorable therapeutic response in BRAF V600E-mutated colon cancer with penile metastasis.
Helicobacter pylori-related serum indicators: Cutting-edge advances to enhance the efficacy of gastric cancer screening
Authors: Sun Hao-Tian
Published: February 2025

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ) infection induces pathological changes via chronic inflammation and virulence factors, thereby increasing the risk of gastric cancer development. Compared with invasive examination methods, H. pylori -related serum indicators are cost-effective and valuable for the early detection of gastric cancer (GC); however, large-scale clinical validation and sufficient understanding of the specific molecular mechanisms involved are lacking. Therefore, a comprehensive review and analysis of recent advances in this field is necessary. In this review, we systematically analyze the relationship between H. pylori and GC and discuss the application of new molecular biomarkers in GC screening. We also summarize the screening potential and application of anti-H. pylori immunoglobulin G and virulence factor-related serum antibodies for identifying GC risk. These indicators provide early warning of infection and enhance screening accuracy. Additionally, we discuss the potential combination of multiple screening indicators for the comprehensive analysis and development of emerging testing methods to improve the accuracy and efficiency of GC screening. Although this review may lack sufficient evidence due to limitations in existing studies, including small sample sizes, regional variations, and inconsistent testing methods, it contributes to advancing personalized precision medicine in high-risk populations and developing GC screening strategies.

BACKGROUND

Immunotherapy has surfaced as a promising therapeutic modality for gastric cancer (GC). A comprehensive review of advancements, current status, and research trends in GC immunotherapy is essential to inform future investigative efforts.

AIM

To delineate the trends, advancements, and focal points in immunotherapy for GC.

METHODS

We performed a bibliometric analysis of 2906 articles in English concerning GC immunotherapy published from 2000 to December 20, 2023, indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. Data analysis and visualization were facilitated by CiteSpace (6.1.6R), VOSviewer v.1.6.17, and GraphPad Prism v8.0.2.

RESULTS

There has been an increase in the annual publication rate of GC immunotherapy research. China leads in publication volume, while the United States demonstrates the highest citation impact. Fudan University is notable for its citation frequency and publication output. Co-citation analysis and keyword frequency revealed and highlighted a focus on GC prognosis, the tumor microenvironment (TME), and integrative immunotherapy with targeted therapy. Emerging research areas include gastroesophageal junction cancer, adoptive immunotherapy, and the role of Treg cell in immunotherapy.

CONCLUSION

GC immunotherapy research is an expanding field attracting considerable scientific interest. With the clinical adoption of immunotherapy in GC, the primary goals are to enhance treatment efficacy and patient outcomes. Unlike hematological malignancies, GC's solid TME presents distinct immunological challenges that may attenuate the cytotoxic effects of immune cells on cancer cells. For instance, although CAR-T therapy is effective in hematological malignancies, it has underperformed in GC settings. Current research is centered on overcoming immunosuppression within the TME, with a focus on combinations of targeted therapy, adoptive immunotherapy, Treg cell dynamics, and precise prognosis prediction in immunotherapy. Additionally, immunotherapy's role in treating gastroesophageal junction cancer has become a novel research focus.

Authors: Song Ji Hyun , Choi Su-Yeon , Kim Young Sun , Yang Sun Young , Han Kyung-Do
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Although the link between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and various cancers is well-established, the relationship between CVD risk and colorectal cancer (CRC) remains underexplored.

AIM

To elucidate the relationship between CVD risk scores and CRC incidence.

METHODS

In this population-based cohort study, participants from the 2009 National Health Checkup were followed-up until 2020. The cardiovascular (CV) risk score was calculated as the sum of risk factors (age, family history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, smoking status, and high-density lipoprotein levels) with high-density lipoprotein (≥ 60 mg/dL) reducing the risk score by one. The primary outcome was incidence of newly diagnosed CRC.

RESULTS

Among 2526628 individuals, 30329 developed CRC during a mean follow-up of 10.1 years. Categorized by CV risk scores (0, 1, 2, and ≥ 3). CRC risk increased with higher CV risk scores after adjusting for covariates [(hazard ratio = 1.155, 95% confidence interval: 1.107-1.205) in risk score ≥ 3, P < 0.001]. This association was exclusively observed in males, most notably in the younger cohort (< 50 years) and was more pronounced in individuals not using statins. Moreover, even in participants without diabetes, a higher CV risk was associated with an increased CRC risk.

CONCLUSION

Increased CV risk scores were significantly associated with higher CRC risk, especially among males, younger populations, and non-statin users. Thus, males with a higher CV risk score, even at a younger age, are recommended to control their risk factors and undergo individualized CRC screening.

Authors: Geng Jia-Xin , Lu Yao-Fan , Zhou Jing-Nan , Huang Biao , Qin Yuan
Published: February 2025

In this article, we revisit an article, which specifically focuses on the utilization of exosomes derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for targeted delivery of gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer treatment. The experimental results demonstrated that the exosome-based drug delivery system derived from MSCs significantly augmented apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells. The biocompatibility, targeting specificity, and low immunogenicity of exosomes render them as optimal carriers for drug delivery, enabling precise administration of therapeutics to diseased tissues while mitigating adverse effects, thereby achieving targeted treatment of cancer cells and significantly enhancing anti-tumor efficacy. However, the clinical application of exosome drug delivery platforms in oncology still presents challenges, necessitating further optimization to ensure their stability and efficacy. This study focuses on elucidating the advantages of exosomes as a drug delivery platform, exploring the utilization of MSC-derived exosomes in oncology therapy, and discussing their potential and future directions in cancer treatment.

BACKGROUND

Liver cancer has a high incidence and mortality worldwide, especially in China. Herein, we investigated the therapeutic effect and mechanism of tetrahydrocurcumin against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with a focus on the of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway.

AIM

To investigate the effects and mechanism of tetrahydrocurcumin in HCC cell lines HepG2 and Huh7.

METHODS

Using Metascape, we analyzed the potential targets of tetrahydrocurcumin in HCC. Molecular docking validation was performed using SYBYL2.0. Cell Counting Kit-8, wound healing, and transwell assays were performed to evaluate the effects of tetrahydrocurcumin on HepG2 and Huh7 cell migration, invasion, and apoptosis. The expression of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway-related proteins was detected by western blotting.

RESULTS

Network pharmacology and molecular docking showed that tetrahydrocurcumin has high binding affinity for phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha. In vitro experiments demonstrated that tetrahydrocurcumin suppressed the migration and invasion of liver cancer cells, promoted their apoptosis, and downregulated the expression of p-PI3K, p-AKT, and B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2, while upregulating caspase-3, p53, and B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 associated X.

CONCLUSION

In summary, tetrahydrocurcumin suppresses PI3K/AKT signaling, promotes apoptosis, and prevents the migration and invasion of liver cancer cells.

Authors: Mou Yan-Hua , Zhang Juan , Shen Hui , Yu Jing , Han Lan , Li Hui , Li Qing-Feng
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) exhibit aggressive features, such as rapid growth, higher rate of metastasis, and a generally unfavorable prognosis compared to gastric adenocarcinoma. As a result, therapeutic options for NECs remain limited, contributing to the poor prognosis of patients. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment strategy and demonstrated the potential to partially improve the survival and prognosis of patients with NECs. Nevertheless, the unique clinical response termed pseudoprogression (PsP) has garnered considerable attention in the context of immunotherapy.

CASE SUMMARY

Presented here is a case of NEC recurrence five and a half months after radical gastric surgery. The 45-year-old male patient underwent combination treatment involving a PD-1 blocker and tyrosine kinase inhibitors and encountered two instances of PsP during treatment. The patient ultimately achieved a durable treatment response without altering his treatment regimens, resulting in a substantial therapeutic benefit.

CONCLUSION

This case report aimed to provide the authors’ experience with the diagnosis of PsP and treatment strategies for PsP in ongoing immunotherapy.

Authors: Wu Ling , Chen Hong-Yao , Zhang Jing-Ting , Yang Ren-Yi , Wang Zhi-Bin , Xue Pei-Sen , Peng Wei , Li Ke-Xiong , Gao Wen-Hui , Zeng Pu-Hua
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed non-apoptotic cell death characterized by the accumulation of free iron ions and lipid peroxidation. It is associated with the inactivation of glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and the accumulation of lipid peroxides within cells. Ferroptosis is closely related to the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Chlorogenic acid (CGA), an important bioactive component found in 61 traditional Chinese medicines such as Eucommia ulmoides , has been extensively studied for its effects on various malignant tumors. However, the specific role and potential mechanism of CGA in HCC remain unclear.

AIM

To elucidate the anti-tumor characteristics and potential mechanisms of CGA in inducing ferroptosis in HCC cells.

METHODS

The effects of CGA on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells were evaluated through in vitro experiments. Bioinformatics analysis combined with network pharmacology was used to study the potential targets and molecular mechanisms of CGA intervention in HCC ferroptosis. In vitro experiments were conducted to verify and explore the anti-HCC effects and mechanisms of CGA through the ferroptosis pathway.

RESULTS

In vitro experiments showed that CGA dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of HCC cells. Bioinformatics analysis combined with network pharmacology revealed that the pathway of CGA intervention in HCC cell ferroptosis was mainly enriched in the prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2)/aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (AKR1C3)/GPX4 signaling pathway, which was associated with arachidonic acid. In vitro experiments further confirmed that CGA-induced ferroptosis in HCC cells was related to mitochondrial damage through the reprogramming of arachidonic acid metabolism by regulating the PTGS2/AKR1C3/ GPX4 signaling pathway.

CONCLUSION

This study demonstrates that CGA inhibits HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by inducing ferroptosis through the PTGS2/AKR1C3/GPX4 axis, suggesting its potential as a novel ferroptosis inducer or anti-HCC drug.

Mean, standard deviation, frequency, Percentage, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient were the statistical tools used. The results indicate that work and academic responsibilities, classroom involvement, teaching effectiveness, and support factors have significantly impacted students on-probation. These students consistently exhibit poor academic performance, with the greatest difficulties arising in General Education, followed by Major subjects, and then Professional Education. The connection between socio-economic factors and academic performance was generally found to be insignificant. Additionally, there was no significant relationship between socio-economic factors and support factors, nor between academic and support factors.

This study aims to analyze the effect of audit committee activities on audit quality, analyze the effect of audit committee independence on audit quality, analyze the effect of audit committee competence on audit quality, and analyzethe effect of female audit committees on audit quality. The number of samples in this study was 12 companies for 6 years, namely 2018 to 2023, so that the total number of observations was 72 samples. The data analysis technique used multiple regression. The results of the analysis show that audit committee activities have a positive and significant effect on audit quality. This indicates that a more active audit committee supervises the audit process and ensures that auditors carry out their duties independently and objectively encourages auditors to carry out audits more carefully and produce quality audits. Audit committee independence has no effect on audit quality. This shows that audit committee independence cannot affect the quality of audits producedby external audits. Supervision related to audit results carried out by an independent audit committee if not balanced with competence and experience related to the related field to supervise external audit performance to produce quality audit reports. Audit committee competence has no effect on audit quality. This shows that audit committee competence cannot affect the quality of audits from external auditors. Auditors in carrying out their audits must remain in accordance with procedures and must improvetheir audit quality so that the audited financial statements can reflect the true value. The existence of a female audit committee does not affect audit quality. This shows that the presence of women in the audit committee does not affect the audit quality of external auditors. External auditors in carrying out the audit process are not influenced by the gender of the audit committee in carrying out the supervisory function and the audit results made by the external auditor.

North Atlantic (NA) humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrate between high‐latitude maternal feeding grounds and low‐latitude breeding/calving grounds, with one distinct breeding segment currently considered endangered: Cape Verde Islands/northwest Africa (CVI). This study assesses the movement patterns and population spatial structuring of humpback whales across the NA Ocean basin for the first time in three decades. Photo‐ID records from collections contributed to the North Atlantic Humpback Whale Catalogue, a dataset of 38,319 records of 9,977 individuals documented between 1980 and 2015 were analysed. Transition probabilities were estimated between all five primary feeding grounds and three breeding/calving areas defined as CVI, Greater Antilles and Lesser Antilles, dividing the West Indies distinct population segment into two, based on emerging trends. Breeding‐to‐feeding area transition probabilities were highest from the Greater Antilles to western feeding grounds (the Gulf of Maine, Atlantic Canada and West Greenland), from the Lesser Antilles to eastern feeding grounds (Norway and Iceland), and from CVI to eastern feeding grounds. The difference in migratory patterns of humpback whales using the Greater Antilles and Lesser Antilles regions within the West Indies indicates that they are behaviourally distinct and may be best managed as separate breeding populations.

Chatbots have great promise as a tool for providing students with feedback and assisting them in implementing metacognitive techniques during their educational journey. The potential of AI chatbots to completely transform educational systems in a variety of ways recently rocked the world. Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots can offer prompt assistance by responding to enquiries, providing clarifications, and supplying extra resources. Chatbots can also act as virtual teaching assistants, supporting educators through various means. This research paper presents the design and implementation of SOC Buddy, an AI-powered Faculty Support Chatbot. The research aims at addressing the challenges faced by students and prospective applicants in accessing academic and administrative information by leveraging on advancements in Artificial Intelligence, particularly Generative AI. A critical review of existing educational AI Chatbots was carried out by exploring academic literature on the subject. The research was carried out using Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-3.5 Turbo, LangChain and various AI and software development tools. Results from SOC Buddy’s performances using various queries are presented and analysed, demonstrating its ability to provide personalized responses to a wide range of user queries. The paper demonstrates the evaluation of the Chatbot’s effectiveness in enhancing the student experience and reducing the workload on registration officers and level advisers and it concludes with recommendations for future improvements and potential expansions of the Chatbot’s capabilities.
