An online prognostic tool is introduced to assist clinicians in predicting patient prognosis and customizing treatment and follow-up strategies.
Background：Gastric cancer is a globally important disease and the fifth most diagnosed malignant cancer in the world. Because it is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, gastric cancer has a high mortality rate, making it the third most common cause of cancer-related death. Hot spots of gastric cancer incidence and mortality exist in East Asia, Eastern Europe and South America. It is still an urgent problem to find new diagnostic and prognostic markers and better understand the molecular mechanism of gastric cancer. Although radical resection and systemic chemotherapy have shown great improvement, the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) patients is still depressing due to malignant proliferation and metastasis. Therefore, it is urgent to clarify the potential molecular mechanism of gastric cancer progression, which will contribute to the development of targeted therapy. Effective induction of tumor cell apoptosis is the most important feature of a new chemical agent for cancer treatment. There is increasing evidence that the cell cycle can act in concert with apoptosis to cause cell death under certain cellular stress conditions. A comprehensive understanding of the relationship between apoptosis and cell cycle is essential for developing effective cancer therapies. PWP1 is also known as endonuclein, which contains five WD40 repeated domains and belongs to the WD40-repeated superfamily. It is highly expressed in human pancreatic adenocarcinoma, where it functions as a cell-cycle regulator. However, the normal function of Pwp1 is largely unknown. Previous research data show that PWP1 plays a key role in regulating biological functions such as RNA processing, signal transduction, gene expression, vesicle transport, cytoskeleton assembly and cell cycle progression. Whether the high expression of PWP1 is ubiquitous in tumors, the relationship between the high expression and clinicopathological factors of tumors, and the mechanism of PWP1 in tumors are still unclear. Further exploration of the molecular mechanism of PWP1 in GC may provide new ideas and therapeutic targets for GC treatment in the future, and benefit clinical patients.

The investigators aim to compare the efficacy and safety of secukinumab and ustekinumab in patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), and to explore the impact of genetic mutation types on clinical efficacy. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Is there a difference in the effectiveness of secukinumab and ustekinumab in the treatment of GPP? How is the safety of secukinumab and ustekinumab in the treatment of GPP? Does the type of genetic mutation in GPP patients affect the efficacy of secukinumab and ustekinumab? The investigators will compare patients treated with secukinumab to those treated with ustekinumab to see the difference in the effectiveness of the two drugs in treating GPP. Participants will: The investigators conducted a 48-week follow-up study on 65 participants who were admitted to the dermatology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University for GPP from July 2019 to December 2022. All participants underwent saliva-based genetic testing. Efficacy analyses were performed based on the scores of Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (GPPASI) and Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Physician Global Assessment (GPPGA) at week 0, 2, 4, 12, 24, and 48. Participants were also asked to report all adverse events (AEs) during follow-up.
Data shows that high intensity resistance training reduces Intermuscular Adipose Tissue (IMAT) in obesity adults. Whether moderate resistance training reduces IMAT for non-obese elderly patients with diabetes is not clear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of moderate resistance training on IMAT in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, and the independent effect of IMAT reduction on metabolic outcomes. In this randomized control trial (RCT), 85 type 2 diabetes patients were randomized into the resistance training group (42 participants) and control group (43 participants) for 6-month intervention. The control group was not asked to participate in any regular exercise. However, the group attended online group educational sessions about diabetes self management once a month, and were asked to record their daily physical activities. Online mini program Wechat was used for communication. The intervention group attended online group education sessions on diabetes self management as the control group, as well as resistance exercise training sessions three times weekly; the sessions were approximately 40 minutes long and included 5 minutes of warm up, followed by 30 minutes of resistance exercises and 5 minutes of cool down. The resistance training consisted of ten upper-body and lower-body exercises using elastic band. The initial sessions were 1 to 2 sets of 6 to 8 repetitions at 45% of the one-repetition maximum (1 RM). It was increased progressively to 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions at approximately 50% -55% of 1 RM. The primary outcome were the changes of IMAT measured by computed tomography（CT）scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) interactive decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least squares qualification sequence (IDEAL-IQ). The secondary outcomes were the changes in metabolic parameters.
Objective: To investigate gender-based differences in outcomes following robotic surgery for rectal cancer. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 155 patients (82 males, 73 females) who underwent robotic surgery for rectal cancer. Demographic, pre-operative, operative, and post-operative data were collected and analyzed. Pre-operative study: All patients underwent a standardized pre-operative work-up, which included a physical examination, comprehensive colonoscopy with biopsy, rigid rectoscopy, pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, computed tomography (CT) of the thorax and abdomen, and measurement of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels. Tumor staging followed the TNM staging criteria (American Joint Committee on Cancer), with the T and N stages determined by the most advanced findings from any imaging modality Data collected: Retrospective evaluation and comparison of demographic characteristics, pre-operative TNM stage, distance from anal verge, tumor size, tumor grade, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, and body mass index (BMI) were conducted among both patient groups. Peri-operative and post-operative data, including morbidity and mortality, were assessed, alongside parameters such as distal resection margin (DRM), proximal resection margin (PRM), harvested lymph nodes (HLN), and Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) scores. Diagnosis of anastomotic leakage was confirmed by clinical suspicion (e.g., changes in drainage, fever, abdominal pain) and further validated through contrast enema observed during follow-up computed tomography (CT). Hospital stay and readmission rates were monitored for up to 90 days post-surgery. Post-operative follow-up: Post-operative outcomes encompassed operative duration, estimated blood loss, time to first flatus passage, duration of liquid diet, and length of hospital stay following surgery. Operative duration comprised the time from initial skin incision to closure, including the time needed for robotic surgery docking and undocking. Upon experiencing initial flatulence, patients transitioned to a liquid diet. Hospital stay duration was measured from the time of surgery to discharge. The overall cost of surgery, including surgical procedures, anesthesia, medications, and post-operative care, was considered in the total expenditure analysis.
