The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the expression of HOXD antisense growth-associated long noncoding RNA (HAGLROS) and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as the roles and regulatory mechanism of HAGLROS in CRC development. The HAGLROS expression in CRC tissues and cells was detected. The correlation between HAGLROS expression and survival time of CRC patients was investigated. Moreover, HAGLROS was overexpressed and suppressed in HCT-116 cells, followed by detection of cell viability, apoptosis, and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and autophagy markers. Furthermore, the association between HAGLROS and miR-100 and the potential targets of miR-100 were investigated. Besides, the regulatory relationship between HAGLROS and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was elucidated. The results showed that HAGLROS was highly expressed in CRC tissues and cells. Highly expression of HAGLROS correlated with a shorter survival time of CRC patients. Moreover, knockdown of HAGLROS in HCT-116 cells induced apoptosis by increasing the expression of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, cleaved-caspase-3, and cleaved-caspase-9, and inhibited autophagy by decreasing the expression of LC3II/LC3I and Beclin-1 and increasing P62 expression. Furthermore, HAGLROS negatively regulated the expression of miR-100, and HAGLROS controlled HCT-116 cell apoptosis and autophagy through negatively regulation of miR-100. Autophagy related 5 (ATG5) was verified as a functional target of miR-100 and miR-100 regulated HCT-116 cell apoptosis and autophagy through targeting ATG5. Besides, HAGLROS overexpression activated phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) pathway. In conclusion, a highly expression of HAGLROS correlated with shorter survival time of CRC patients. Downregulation of HAGLROS may induce apoptosis and inhibit autophagy in CRC cells by regulation of miR-100/ATG5 axis and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

PPARγ Pro12Ala and His477His polymorphisms might be associated with susceptibility of CRC.
Satisfactory weight loss can be established by ASGB. However, serious and potentially lethal complications can occur. In view of the former Angelchik esophageal antireflux prosthesis, abandoned because of its notorious migration, we must be aggressive in evaluating band migration. Thus, we plead for international registration of adjustable silicone gastric banding.
Background:?> Laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is commonly performed in China. However, compared with open surgery, the effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery, especially the long-term survival, has not been sufficiently proved. Methods:?> Data of eligible patients with non-metastatic rectal cancer at Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University and Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine between 2012 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Long-term survival outcomes and short-term surgical safety were analysed with propensity score matching between groups. Results Of 430 cases collated from two institutes, 103 matched pairs were analysed after propensity score matching. The estimated blood loss during laparoscopic surgery was significantly less than that during open surgery (P = 0.019) and the operative time and hospital stay were shorter in the laparoscopic group (both P < 0.001). The post-operative complications rate was 9.7% in the laparoscopic group and 10.7% in the open group (P = 0.818). No significant difference was observed between the laparoscopic group and the open group in the 5-year overall survival rate (75.7% vs 80.6%, P = 0.346), 5-year relapse-free survival rate (74.8% vs 76.7%, P = 0.527), or 5-year cancer-specific survival rate (79.6% vs 87.4%, P = 0.219). An elevated carcinoembryonic antigen, <12 harvested lymph nodes, and perineural invasion were independent prognostic factors affecting overall survival and relapse-free survival. Conclusions:?> Our findings suggest that open surgery should still be the priority recommendation, but laparoscopic surgery is also an acceptable treatment for non-metastatic rectal cancer.
Background: Rapid surgery is recommended to improve outcomes after peptic ulcer perforation (PPU), but understanding of the optimal onset-to-surgery time for PPU is limited. The purpose of this study was to assess the optimal time of onset to surgery for PPU that improved patient outcomes. Methods: Data of eligible patients with PPU at three hospitals from 2019 to 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were categorized as a onset-to-surgery time of ≤ 12 h (early surgery [ES]) or > 12 h (late surgery [LS]). The primary outcome was 30-day sepsis morbidity. Secondary outcomes included 30-day postoperative morbidity and 30-day mortality. Patients’ characteristics and surgical outcomes were also compared. A P value of < 0.05 is considered as statistically significant. Results: Of 245 patients, 231 (94.3%; mean [SD] age, 62.6 [18.2] years; 153 [70.5%] male)were included in the final analysis. Among the remaining cases, 50.7% underwent ES and 49.3% underwent LS. LS was associated with increased sepsis morbidity within 30 days (ORadj 5.71, 95% CI 2.02-16.10, P = 0.001). In secondary analyses, LS was associated with an increased risk of postoperative morbidity (ORadj 1.93, 95% CI 1.06-3.53, P = 0.032). The 30-day mortality was 0.9% in the ES group and 4.7% in the LS group (ORadj 3.93, 95% CI 0.43-36.05, P = 0.227). In addition, the estimated blood loss during ES was significantly less than that during LS (P = 0.004). The operative time and hospital stay were shorter in the ES group (both P < 0.005). Moreover, patients in the LS group were more likely to need for ICU admission (39.3% vs 22.7%, P = 0.008). Conclusions: This cohort study found evidence that more favorable outcomes were achieved when surgery was performed within 12 hours after the onset of severe abdominal pain among patients with PPU. These findings provide more clarity around the optimal time of onset to surgery for patients with PPU. However, more well powered researches are needed to confirm the findings.
