For stage II colon cancer, the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy remains controversial. It is well known that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are important in tumor progression. In this study, TAMs were investigated as prognostic and predictive biomarkers for cancer after radical resection.This study enrolled two independent cohorts consecutive patients from one medical center with pathologic resections. Macrophages detected using IHC staining CD68 CD206. Infiltration...

Tumor purity is defined as the proportion of cancer cells in tumor tissue. The impact on colon (CC) prognosis, genetic profile, and microenvironment has not been thoroughly accessed.Clinical transcriptomic data from three public datasets, GSE17536/17537, GSE39582, TCGA, were retrospectively collected (n=1,248). each sample was inferred by a computational method based data. Survival-related analyses performed microarray dataset containing GSE17536/17537 GSE39582 (n=794), whereas TCGA utilized...

More than 40% of patients with late-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) develop liver metastasis (LM). Which immune cells play important roles in CRC-LM and contribute to the difference between left-sided CRC (LCC) right-sided (RCC) remain unclear. By single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we not only find that activated B are significantly depleted LM, but also a subtype developed from cells, namely immature plasma cell population alpha (iMPA), highly correlated metastasis. Mechanistically,...

Abstract Background and Objectives Robotic surgery for rectal cancer is gaining popularity, but persuasive evidence on reducing surgical trauma still lacking. This study compared robotic laparoscopic abdominoperineal resections (APRs) the risk of postoperative complications in low cancer. Methods Between December 2013 2016, patients with ≤5 cm from anal verge, cT1‐T3 N0‐1, or ycT1‐T3 Nx stage, no distant metastases were enrolled a single‐center, randomized, controlled trial. Eligible...

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the primary extracellular matrix-producing within liver and have numerous vital functions. A robust protocol for isolation culture of HSCs is important further investigations cell functions related mechanisms in disease. The volume mouse much smaller than that rat liver, which makes it more difficult to isolate (mHSCs) HSCs. At present, isolating mHSCs still a challenge because there no efficient, method these cells. In present study, C57BL/6J mice were...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is caused by the autoimmune destruction of β cells within islets. In recent years, innate immunity has been proposed to play a key role in this process. High-mobility group box (HMGB1), an inflammatory trigger number diseases, activates proinflammatory responses following its release from necrotic cells. Our aim was determine significance HMGB1 natural history non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. We observed that rate expression cytoplasm islets much greater mice compared...

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are important part of the local 'stem cell niche' for hepatic progenitor (HPCs) and hepatocytes. However, it is unclear as to whether products activated HSCs required attenuate hepatocyte injury, enhance liver regeneration, or both. In this study, we performed 'loss function' studies by depleting with gliotoxin. It was demonstrated that a significantly severe damage declined survival rate were correlated depletion HSCs. Furthermore, diminishing HSC activation...

Surgery is the mainstay for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, it a great challenge surgeons to identify HCC in its early developmental stage. The diagnostic sensitivity tiny with diameter less than 1.0 cm usually as low 10–33% computed tomography (CT) and 29–43% magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although MRI preferred modality detecting HCC, unparalleled spatial resolution soft tissue, commercially available contrast agent, such Gd3+-DTPA, cannot accurately define because of...
