Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy characterized by dismal prognosis. Treatment outcomes exhibit substantial variability across patients, underscoring the urgent need for robust predictive models to effectively estimate survival probabilities and therapeutic responses in PDAC. Metabolic immune-related genes exhibiting differential expression were identified using TCGA-PDAC GTEx datasets. A genetic prognostic model was developed via univariable Cox...

Abstract Naïve and memory T cells play a pivotal role in solid tumor pathogenesis but their pancreatic cancer progression remains elusive. Thus, we aimed to investigate clinical potential advanced (APC). Flow cytometry was performed evaluate the level of baseline peripheral naïve from 137 APC patients before receiving first‐line chemotherapy. Interrelationships between naïve, clinicopathological variables were evaluated using Pearson’s correlation. The prognostic impact assessed by...

Abstract Background Epstein-Barr virus-associated early gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma (EBV-GCLS) is a rare variant of carcinomas. Clinicopathological features this remain obscure, especially in Chinese patients. Therefore, we collected EBV-GCLS cases and studied clinicopathology prognosis. Methods By retrospective review 595 consecutive radical gastrectomies for from 2006 to 2018, identified 8 (1.3%, 8/595) cases. Clinicopathologic characteristics were compared between EBV-GCLSs 109...

The aim of the present study was to detect expression resistin in rats with acute pancreatitis (AP) and investigate its significance pathogenesis AP. In total, 40 Sprague‑Dawley were randomly divided into four groups (n=10), including normal control, sham‑operated, edematous (AEP) necrotizing (ANP) groups. Following establishment animal models, levels serum resistin, C‑reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α) interleukin (IL)‑1β measured using ELISA. Resistin pancreatic...

Papillary early gastric carcinoma (EGC) is believed to have a low risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) and thus can be resected endoscopically. We observed anecdotally that some papillary EGC tumors showed conspicuous high-grade dysplastic features, but the significance these observations unknown. In this bicenter study we investigated EGCs were divided into (n=96) low-grade (n=118) groups among 1136 consecutive radical resection cases. Concurrent 464 well-moderately differentiated tubular...
