RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The purpose of this research is to further understand the research status and summarize the research hotspots of sleep disorder and cancer, so as to provide insights into future researches. METHODS: In this research, the publications pertaining to sleep disorders and cancer from 1992 to 2022 was retrieved from SCIE and SSCI databases in the Web of Science Core Collection. The subject, journal, country/regions, institutions, author, and citations of publications were descriptively analyzed and visual analysis. RESULTS: From 1992 to December 2022, a total of 732 relevant literatures were retrieved from WOS SCIE and SSCI databases, the number of publications showed an increasing trend year by year. These articles were published in 252 journals, and the three most productive journals included Supportive Care in Cancer (80 publications), Psycho-oncology (32 publications), and Journal of Pain and Symptom Management (32 publications). The three most productive countries included the USA (367 publications, 50.1%), China (133 publications, 18.2%), and Canada (97 publications, 13.25%), with total citations of 12,684, 1866, and 5263. The three latest hot keywords in this field were sleep duration, validity, and inflammation. CONCLUSION: The USA, China, and Canada produced a lot of literature in the research field of sleep disorders and cancer, and had relatively great academic influence from 1992 to 2022. Researchers could pay more attention to the published in journals such as Journal of Clinical Oncology, Sleep, and Supportive Care in Cancer to timely grasp the latest progress and expand the breadth and depth in this area. Looking at the history of tumor and sleep disorder research in the past 20 years, the clinical treatment of sleep disorder caused by tumor and the direct bidirectional mechanism of the two may be a new focus of future research.

This study aimed to develop and validate a cuproptosis-related gene signature for the prognosis of gastric cancer. The data in TCGA GC TPM format from UCSC were extracted for analysis, and GC samples were randomly divided into training and validation groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to obtain cuproptosis-related genes co-expressed with 19 Cuproptosis genes. Univariate Cox and Lasso regression analyses were used to obtain cuproptosis-related prognostic genes. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to construct the final prognostic risk model. The risk score curve, Kaplan-Meier survival curves, and ROC curve were used to evaluate the predictive ability of Cox risk model. Finally, the functional annotation of the risk model was obtained through enrichment analysis. Then, a six-gene signature was identified in the training cohort and verified among all cohorts using Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier plots, demonstrating its independent prognostic significance for gastric cancer. In addition, ROC analysis confirmed the significant predictive potential of this signature for the prognosis of gastric cancer. Functional enrichment analysis was mainly related to cell-matrix function. Therefore, a new cuproptosis-related six-gene signature (ACLY, FGD6, SERPINE1, SPATA13, RANGAP1, and ADGRE5) was constructed for the prognosis of gastric cancer, allowing for tailored prediction of outcome and the formulation of novel therapeutics for gastric cancer patients.

In this study, clinical trials were generalized, summarized, and meta-analyzed to evaluate correlations between artificial sweeteners (ASs) and colorectal cancer (CRC). PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE (Ovid platform), MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception until July 24, 2023. The association between AS exposure and CRC incidence was assessed using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). STATA software (version 12.0) was used to perform the meta-analysis. Ten studies (three case-control studies and seven cohort studies) involving 711,537 participants were identified. Results showed that the intake of ASs reduced the incidence of CRC (OR=0.93, 95% CI=[0.87-0.99]) and was not significantly associated with mortality (OR=0.93, 95% CI=[0.83-1.05]). Subgroup analyses showed that low doses of ASs were associated with lower CRC incidence (OR=0.90, 95% CI=[0.83-0.99]), and medium/high doses were not associated with CRC incidence (OR=1.11, 95% CI=[0.93-1.33]; OR=0.89, 95% CI=[0.79-1.00], respectively). Moreover, low, medium, and high exposures were not associated with an increased risk of mortality due to CRC (OR=0.95, 95% CI=[0.80-1.14]; OR=0.99, 95% CI=[0.88-1.11]; OR=0.93, 95% CI=[0.71-1.21], respectively). The results of our meta-analysis showed that a low intake of ASs may be associated with a lower risk of CRC.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Multiple primary malignant tumors (MPMTs) was first described by Billroth as early as 1889, with the first report published by Warren and Gates in 1932. Since then, numerous cases have been reported. A literature review of 1104269 patients with cancer revealed that the incidence of MPMTs ranged from 0.73 to 11.7%. In recent years, however, there has been a significant upward trend in the incidence of this phenomenon, which may be associated with many different factors, including the advancement of modern diagnostic procedures facilitating the examination and diagnosis of more MPMTs, increased exposure to chemotherapy and radiotherapy that exacerbate the risk of new malignant tumors in patients with cancer, and prolonged survival of patients with cancer allowing sufficient time for the development of new primary cancers. AIM: To analyze the incidence, clinical features, treatment factors, prevalence, and prognosis of patients with MPMTs in the gastrointestinal tract treated in a single center. Additionally, we analyzed the different tumor combinations, time interval between the occurrence of tumors, and staging. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 8059 patients with pathologically confirmed gastrointestinal malignant tumors treated at the Gansu Province Hospital in Lanzhou, Gansu, China between June 2011 and June 2020. Of these, 85 patients had MPMTs. The clinical features, treatment factors, prevalence, and prognosis of this latter cohort were analyzed. RESULTS: The incidence of MPMTs in patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors was 1.05% (85/8059), including 83 double primary malignant tumors and two triple primary malignant tumors of which 57 (67.06%) were synchronous MPMTs (SMPMTs) and 28 (32.94%) were metachronous MPMTs (MMPMTs). The most frequent associations were found between the rectum colon cancers within the SMPMT category and the gastric-colon cancers within the MMPMT category. For the MMPMTs, the median interval was 53 months. The overall 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates from diagnosis of the first primary cancer were 91.36%, 65.41%, and 45.97%, respectively; those from diagnosis of the second primary cancer were 67.90%, 29.90%, and 17.37%, respectively. CONCLUSION: MPMTs in the gastrointestinal tract have a high incidence and poor prognosis. Thus, it is necessary to perform both gastroscopy and colonoscopy in patients with gastrointestinal tumors. Multidisciplinary comprehensive diagnosis and treatment may improve the diagnosis rate and treatment efficiency of MPMTs.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the evidence on the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted on the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and PubMed databases. Meta-analysis utilized odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to analyze the correlation between MBS and the risk of EAC. Meta-analysis was performed using STATA software (version 12.0). RESULTS: Fourteen studies involving patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery and control groups receiving conventional treatment were included. The meta-analysis indicated a reduction in the overall incidence of esophageal cancer after bariatric surgery (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.51-0.95, P = 0.022). Subgroup analysis results demonstrated a decreased risk of EAC in European patients with obesity undergoing MBS treatment (OR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.38-0.95, P = 0.028). In studies with a sample size greater than or equal to 100,000 patients, the risk of EAC in patients with obesity undergoing MBS was significantly lower than the non-surgery group (OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.42-0.83, P = 0.003). Articles published before 2020 and those published in 2020 or earlier showed a significant difference in the incidence of EAC between the surgery and non-surgery groups (OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.43-0.75, P < 0.001). The risk of EAC in patients with obesity with a follow-up time of less than 5 years was statistically significant (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.25-0.82, P = 0.009). CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis results suggest a reduced risk of esophageal cancer in patients with obesity after bariatric surgery. PROSPERO REGISTRATION: CRD 42024505177.

INTRODUCTION: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of aprepitant in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) following metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). METHODS: Clinical trials meeting the inclusion criteria were identified through searches of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases, as well as clinical trials registered at clinicaltrials. gov. These trials compared aprepitant with the control or placebo groups among patients who underwent MBS. Meta-analysis was performed using StataSE 17.0 software to calculate the pooled risk ratio (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) to assess the effectiveness of aprepitant in preventing PONV following MBS. RESULTS: A total of five articles comprising six studies including 929 patients undergoing MBS were included. Meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction in the incidence of PONV among patients receiving aprepitant (pooled RR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.38-0.68, P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis indicated that aprepitant effectively reduced PONV incidence at 0, 6, and 12 h postoperatively in patients with MBS, but did not decrease PONV occurrence at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Aprepitant demonstrated significant clinical efficacy in preventing PONV following MBS, effectively reducing patient discomfort, and improving postoperative recovery. Therefore, aprepitant should be considered a preventive measure in patients undergoing MBS to enhance patient satisfaction and recovery rates. Additionally, to maintain an effective drug concentration, aprepitant should be administered within the first 24 h postoperatively. PROSPERO REGISTRATION: CRD 42024528154.

OBJECTIVE: We conducted a meta-analysis of current literature to assess whether bariatric surgery(BS) has a positive effect on reducing the risk of multiple myeloma(MM). METHODS: Relevant studies meeting the criteria were systematically reviewed using databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Embase (Ovid platform), MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library. The meta-analysis utilized hazard ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to analyze the correlation between BS and the risk of MM. STATA software (version 12.0) was employed for the meta analysis. RESULTS: The meta-analysis included 10 eligible studies, involving 2,452,503 patients with obesity. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in the risk of multiple myeloma in patients with obesity after bariatric surgery compared to non-surgical patients with obesity (RR = 0.51, 95%CI: 0.31-0.84). Subgroup analyses revealed a decreased probability of developing multiple myeloma in European patients with obesity and North American patients with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery. Studies with a sample size greater than or equal to 100,000 indicated a significantly reduced risk of multiple myeloma in patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery compared to the non-surgical group (RR: 0.45, 95%CI: 0.23-0.88, P < 0.02). Two publications before 2010 showed no significant difference in the incidence of multiple myeloma between the surgical and non-surgical groups (RR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.14-2.63, P = 0.504), while publications after 2010 demonstrated a reduced incidence in the surgical group (RR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.30-0.86, P = 0.012). CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis results suggest a reduced risk of multiple myeloma in patients with obesity following bariatric surgery. PROSPERO REGISTRATION: CRD42023485668.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to assess the correlation between Piezo2 and tumors through a comprehensive meta-analysis and database validation. METHODS: Case-control studies investigating the association between Piezo2 and tumors were obtained from various databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), SinoMed, Embase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and PubMed. The search was performed from the inception of each database up until May 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the included studies. Metaanalysis of the included literature was conducted using Stata 12.0 software. Additionally, the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database predicted a correlation between Piezo2 expression and prognostic value in tumor patients. RESULTS: A total of three studies, involving a combined sample size of 392 participants, were included in the meta-analysis. The findings revealed that the expression level of Piezo2 in tumor patients was not significantly associated with age, gender, or tumor size. However, it was found to be positively correlated with lymphatic invasion (OR = 7.89, 95%CI: 3.96-15.73) and negatively correlated with invasion depth (OR = 0.17, 95%CI: 0.06-0.47), TNM stage (OR = 0.48, 95%CI: 0.27-0.87), and histological grade (OR = 0.40, 95%CI: 0.21-0.77). Confirming these findings, the GEPIA database indicated that high expression of Piezo2 was associated with poor prognosis of disease-free survival in patients with colon adenocarcinoma (HR = 1.6, P = 0.049) and gastric cancer (HR = 1.6, P = 0.017). CONCLUSION: Piezo2 may be associated with poor prognosis and clinicopathological parameters in tumor patients.
RESUMEN
Objective: The objective of this research is to scrutinize adverse events (AEs) linked to Trifluridine/Tipiracil (TFTD/TPI), using data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Methods: The AEs data related to TFTD/TPI were collected from the fourth quarter of 2015 through the fourth quarter of 2023. After normalizing the data, multiple signal quantification techniques including Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR), Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR), Bayesian approaches such as Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network (BCPNN) and the Multi-item Gamma Poisson Shrinker (MGPS) were used for overall and subgroup analysis and visualization analyses were performed. Results: From the FAERS database, we analyzed 13,520,073 reports, identifying 8,331 as primary suspect (PS) AEs for TFTD/TPI, occurring across 27 organ systems. The study retained 99 significant disproportionality Preferred Terms (PTs) across four algorithms and unveiled unexpected serious AEs such as iron deficiency and intestinal perforation, hepatic failure, cholangitis and so on. The median onset of TFTD/TPI-associated AEs was 44 days (IQR 20-97 days), with most occurring within the first 30 days of treatment. Conclusion: This research uncovers critical new safety signals for TFTD/TPI, supporting its clinical monitoring and risk identification.
RESUMEN
Background: SQSTM1/p62 is an autophagy-related receptor protein that participates in regulating tumorigenesis and multiple signaling pathways. Gastric cancer (GC) is a common tumor in the digestive tract and continues to pose a significant threat to human health. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of p62 on gastric cancer. Methods: Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were employed to assess the expression level of the p62 protein in gastric cancer tissues and its correlation with prognosis. Subsequently, in vitro cell experiments were conducted to determine the role of p62 in gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis. Result: The expression of p62 in gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than in normal tissues. The expression of p62 was positively correlated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients. In vitro cell experiments indicated that p62 promotes gastric cancer cell proliferation and migration. Mechanistically, elevated p62 expression induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), leading to upregulation of E-cadherin and downregulation of N-cadherin and vimentin. Conclusion: This study provides novel and robust evidence for the mechanism by which elevated p62 expression promotes the progression of gastric cancer. It offers promising therapeutic targets for anti-tumor treatment strategies in gastric cancer patients.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Gastric cancer is the most common malignancy worldwide and is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths, urgently requiring an early and non-invasive diagnosis. Circulating extracellular vesicles may emerge as promising biomarkers for the rapid diagnosis in a non-invasive manner. METHODS: Using high-throughput small RNA sequencing, we profiled the small RNA population of serum-derived extracellular vesicles from healthy controls and gastric cancer patients. Differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) were randomly selected and validated by reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Receiver operating characteristic curves were employed to assess the predictive value of miRNAs for gastric cancer. RESULTS: In this study, 193 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, of which 152 were upregulated and 41 were signiï¬cantly downregulated. Among the differently expressed miRNA, the expression levels of miR-21-5p, miR-26a-5p, and miR-27a-3p were significantly elevated in serum-derived extracellular vesicles of gastric cancer patients. The miR-21-5p and miR-27a-3p were closely correlated with the tumor size. Moreover, the expression levels of serum miR-21-5p and miR-26a-5p were signiï¬cantly decreased in gastric cancer patients after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The present study discovered the potential of serum miR-21-5p and miR-26a-5p as promising candidates for the diagnostic and prognostic markers of gastric cancer.
RESUMEN
Objective: In this meta-analysis, we investigated the safety and efficacy of carbon nanoparticle (CNP) trace-guided lymph node (LN) dissection during radical gastrectomy. Methods: Literature on CNP tracing compared with non-CNP tracing in radical gastric cancer (GC) surgery was searched from PubMed, EMBASE (Ovid platform), Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from the establishment of the library until October 2022. This meta-analysis was performed according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines. Available data regarding the number of LNs dissected, number of metastatic LNs dissected, other surgical outcomes, and postoperative complications were analyzed in a pooled manner. Stata software (version 12.0) was used for the present meta-analysis. Results: This analysis included 7 studies with a total of 1827 GC patients (551 and 1276 in the CNP and non-CNP groups, respectively). The results of the meta-analysis showed that the CNP group had more intraoperative LNs detected [weighted mean difference (WMD) = 6.67, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.71-9.62], more LN metastases (WMD = 1.60, 95% CI: 0.09-3.12), and less intraoperative bleeding (WMD = 11.33, 95% CI: 6.30-16.37) than the non-CNP group, all with statistically significant differences (P < .05). For postoperative complications (odds ratio [OR] = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.52-1.48) and operative time (WMD = -11.60, 95% CI: -40.53-17.34), there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: CNP was a significant tracer for the LNs of GC. It increased the number of LNs harvested while reducing intraoperative blood loss, without increasing the operative time or postoperative complications. CNP tracer-guided lymphadenectomy is considered safe and effective for gastrectomy.

BACKGROUND: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is known as the research hotspot for tumor epimodification, and its associated methyltransferase-like3 (METTL3) is significantly differentially expressed in gastric carcinoma, but its clinical value has not been summarized. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of METTL3 in gastric carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Databases, including PubMed, EMBASE (Ovid platform), Science Direct, Scopus, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, were used to identify relevant eligible studies. The endpoints included overall survival, progression-free survival, recurrence-free survival, post-progression survival, and disease-free survival. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to correlate METTL3 expression with prognosis. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. RESULTS: Seven eligible studies involving 3034 gastric carcinoma patients were recruited for this meta-analysis. The analysis showed that high METTL3 expression was associated with significantly poorer overall survival (HR = 2.37, 95% CI 1.66-3.39, P < 0.01) and unfavorable disease-free survival (HR = 2.58, 95% CI 1.97-3.38, P < 0.01), as did unfavorable progression-free survival (HR = 1.48, 95% CI 1.19-1.84, P < 0.01)/recurrence-free survival (HR = 2.62, 95% CI 1.93-5.62, P < 0.01)/post-progression survival (HR = 1.53, 95% CI 1.22-1.91, P < 0.01). Subgroup analysis found that high METTL3 expression was associated with worse overall survival in patients with Chinese (HR = 2.21, 95% CI 1.48-3.29, P < 0.01), in studies with sample source from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues (HR = 2.66, 95% CI 1.79-3.94, P < 0.01), and the reported directly from articles group (HR = 2.42, 95% CI 1.66-3.53, P < 0.01). The subgroup analysis that was performed based on sample size, detected method, and follow-up showed the same results. CONCLUSIONS: High expression of METTL3 predicts poor prognosis in gastric carcinoma, indicating promise for METTL3 as a prognostic biomarker.Systematic review registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero, ID = CRD42023408519.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of delay in gastrectomy on gastric cancer patients' survival outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Databases including PubMed, MEDLINE (using the Ovid platform), Embase, the Cochrane Library, COVID-19 Open Research Dataset Challenge, COVID-19 Research Database (WHO), ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform were searched for studies of any design and in any setting that included patients with gastric cancer from their inception to July 31, 2021. Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of research endpoints in each study were calculated. Statistical analyses were performed with Stata 12.0. Results: A total of 8 studies involving 4,052 gastric cancer patients were eligible and included in the present meta-analysis. The result of the meta-analysis was shown that delaying surgery for less than 8 weeks may not decrease OS (HR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.80~1.04, p = 0.167) and DFS (HR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.62~1.50, p = 0.872) in gastric cancer. Our meta-analysis also illustrated that delay in surgery for more than 4 weeks (HR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.56~1.27, p = 0.421), 6 weeks (HR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.61~1.27, p = 0.490), and 8 weeks (HR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.80~1.07, p = 0.314) was also not associated with a decreased OS. Conclusion: A delay in surgery of less than 8 weeks is not associated with worse overall survival for patients with gastric cancer.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer has multiple metastasis pathways, of which lymph node metastasis plays a dominant role. However, the specific mechanism of lymph node metastasis is still not unclear. METHODS: The bioinformatics technology was utilized to mine gene chip data related to gastric cancer and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in a high-throughput gene expression database (Gene Expression Omnibus, GEO), we screened out all genes that have differential expression levels in gastric cancer tissues and in adjacent normal gastric mucosa tissues. The corresponding function package of R language software were performed for gene annotation and cluster analysis, then enrichment analysis of genes with differential expression and protein interaction network diagram for correlation analysis were performed, we finally screened out the paired related homeobox 1 gene (PRRX1) related to EMT. Next, we collected 65 metastatic lymph node samples and 93 gastric cancer tissue samples. The expression levels of PRRX1 and EMT-related protein E-cadherin (E-ca) and vimentin (Vim) in gastric cancer tissues and metastatic lymph node tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining of streptavidin-peroxidase (SP). The expression differences of PRRX1, E-ca and Vim in gastric cancer tissues and metastatic lymph node tissues as well as the correlation were analyzed by the experimental data, and the clinical significance was analyzed in combination with the clinicopathological data. RESULTS: The PRRX1 expression levels in gastric cancer tissues are significantly higher than that in adjacent normal gastric mucosa tissues. The positive expression rates of PRRX1, Vim and E-ca in gastric cancer and in metastatic lymph node tissues were significantly different. Comparing with that in gastric cancer, expression of PRRX1 and Vim was significantly down-regulated, and E-ca expression was significantly up-regulated in metastatic lymph nodes. CONCLUSION: PRRX1 may promote lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer by regulating EMT, and then affect the prognosis of patients. PRRX1 may be used as a new biological indicator to predict or prevent lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND: Although several researches have investigated the association between development and metastasis of gastric cancer (GC) and the expression level of MT1JP, there are no consensuses about whether its expression is associated with overall survival (OS) and clinical feature for GC patients. METHODS: The databases including PubMed, EMBase databases, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to January 30, 2016, to identify the eligible studies. The quality of included studies was assessed according to reporting recommendations for tumor marker prognostic studies (REMARK). The association between expression level of LncRNA HOTAIR with OS for GC patients was assessed by calculating the pooled hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) using STATA version 12.0. Heterogeneity among studies will be assessed using the I statistic. RESULTS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective cohort studies, and case-control studies will be used for the qualitative and quantitative synthesis of the meta-analysis to explore the association between MT1JP expression levels with OS for gastric cancer patients. CONCLUSION: We aim to draw an objective conclusion of the association between MT1JP expression levels with OS for gastric cancer patients.
