Chemoresistance is a critical factor compromising the survival of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The "Zhi-Zhen" formula (ZZF), traditional prescription developed by Chinese national medicine masters, has been extensively used in clinical practice to treat gastrointestinal cancer. Notably, ZZF potential enhance tumor sensitivity chemotherapy. Although previous vitro studies have demonstrated efficacy overcoming chemoresistance (CRC), its precise molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. We an integrated approach bioinformatics and network pharmacology predict active ingredients targets alleviating chemoresistance. top five identified degree analysis were validated using mass spectrometry. then established oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cell model explore regulatory through which overcomes at cellular level.

ABSTRACT Background Bone metastases are highly refractory and associated with extremely poor survival. Despite the increasing incidence of bone metastasis in gastric cancer (GC), comprehensive analyses regarding clinicopathological features, prognosis, treatment bone‐metastatic GC remain limited. Methods We obtained data from 120 patients Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital 36,139 SEER database. Chi‐square Mann–Whitney U ‐tests evaluated while Cox models identified prognostic factors. Kaplan–Meier curves forest plots assessed effects different strategies on overall survival after (OS‐BM). Results Among patients, 55 (45.83%) were diagnosed poorly cohesive carcinoma (PCC). The higher was also observed SRCC database ( p < 0.0001). PCC exhibited distinct pathological features compared to non‐PCC including lower PD‐L1 = 0.042) E‐cadherin expression 0.049). Multivariate analysis various negative factors such as metachronous 0.001, HR 2.35, 95% CI:1.47–3.74) CA125 0.036, 1.60, CI:1.03–2.48), whereas immunotherapy a positive factor 0.44, CI:0.29–0.66). Subgroup showed improved among populations receiving immunotherapy. Moreover, combinational therapies other treatments (anti‐angiogenic therapy and/or local radiotherapy) further patient OS‐BM. Conclusion Our results suggest exhibit high PCC. Immunotherapy‐based combination offer benefits, thus supporting application at risk metastasis.

Background Gastric adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is an exceedingly rare neoplasm. Its infrequent occurrence has resulted in sparse literature on its diagnosis and management, presenting considerable challenges for clinical practice. Case presentation A 70-year-old male presented with epigastric pain and, upon gastroscopy CT imaging, was found to have a mass the gastric antrum. Histopathological analysis confirmed of carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining revealed loss PMS2 MLH-1 expression, while molecular methylation, suggesting microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) phenotype. The PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) remarkably elevated at 80. Postoperatively, patient received six cycles oxaliplatin conjunction PD-1 inhibitor therapy. At one-year follow-up, remained long-term remission, no evidence recurrence. Conclusion This case underscores potential efficacy integrating surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy managing ASC, particularly context MSI-H expression. It further emphasizes critical role comprehensive profiling guiding personalized therapeutic strategies such malignancies. Further research additional reports are imperative establish optimal management protocols ASC enhance outcomes.

The immunotherapy landscape for gastrointestinal (GI) tumors is rapidly evolving. There an urgent need reliable biomarkers capable of predicting treatment outcomes to optimize therapeutic strategies and enhance patient prognosis. This review presents a comprehensive overview associated with the response GI tumors, covering advances in molecular genetics, histopathological markers, imaging. Key biomarkers, such as microsatellite instability, tumor mutational burden, programmed death-ligand 1 expression, remain critical identifying patients likely benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors. significance tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, notably CD8+ T cell regulatory ratio, predictor explored. In addition, advanced imaging techniques, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography-CT, facilitate noninvasive evaluation biology response. By bridging data, this integrated strategy enhances precision selection, monitoring, adaptive therapy design. Future studies should aim validate these larger, multicenter cohorts focus on clinical translation advance medicine oncology.
