Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Gastrointestinal cancers are a heterogenous group of cancers that share common risk factors with cardiovascular disease. Therapy for gastrointestinal cancers have improved cancer-specific outcomes at the cost of cardiotoxicity. The most common cardiotoxic therapies utilized in gastrointestinal cancers include conventional chemotherapy (including fluoropyrimidines and anthracyclines), targeted therapies including anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), and immunotherapy. It is important for clinicians managing patients with gastrointestinal cancers to be aware of potential cardiotoxicity associated with these agents.

Acute carotid stenting versus non-stenting treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to tandem lesions: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Neurol 2024:10.1007/s00415-024-12497-9. [PMID: 38904782 DOI: 10.1007/s00415-024-12497-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acute carotid stenting (ACS) in comparison to non-stenting interventions for patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by tandem lesions (TL). METHODS A systematic review of literature from PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was conducted to identify relevant studies published up to October 10, 2023. The comparison between ACS and no stenting in patients with TL undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT) focused on outcomes, such as 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, successful recanalization, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), and 90-day mortality. RESULTS The final analysis encompassed a total of 3,187 patients from 21 studies, with 1,786 patients classified as ACS patients and 1,401 as non-stent patients. The overall treatment effect favored the ACS group, as evidenced by their association with improved functional independence at 90 days (mRS 0-2) [relative risk (RR) = 1.18; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.34; P < 0.05; I2 = 44%] and a higher rate of successful recanalization [modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) ≥ 2b/3] (RR = 1.16; 95% CI 1.09-1.25; P < 0.05; I2 = 40%). The risk of sICH was not significantly different between the two groups (RR = 1.28; 95% CI 0.98-1.68; P > 0.05; I2 = 0%). Additionally, there was no significant difference in 90-day mortality between the two groups (RR = 0.78; 95% CI 0.58-1.07; P > 0.05; I2 = 45%). CONCLUSION Among TL patients undergoing EVT, ACS may be associated with better functional outcomes at 90 days compared with no stenting.

Abstract
Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is defined as diagnosed at younger than 50 years of age and indicates a health burden globally. Patients with EOCRC have distinct risk factors, clinical characteristics, and molecular pathogenesis compared with older patients with CRC. Further investigations have identified different roles of obesity between EOCRC and late-onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC). Most studies have focused on the clinical characteristics of obesity in EOCRC, therefore, the mechanism involved in the association between obesity and EOCRC remains inconclusive. This review further states that obesity affects the carcinogenesis of EOCRC as well as its development and progression, which may lead to obesity-related metabolic syndrome, intestinal dysbacteriosis, and intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
Background and Aim Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world. This study devises and validates a clinical scoring system for risk prediction of advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN) to guide colonoscopy evaluation among diabetic patients. Methods We identified 55 964 diabetic patients who received colonoscopies from a large database in a Chinese population (2008-2018). We recruited a derivation cohort based on random sampling. The risk factors of CRC evaluated by univariate analysis were examined for ACN, defined as advanced adenoma, CRC, or any combination thereof using binary logistic regression analysis. We used the adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for independent risk factors to devise a risk score, ranging from 0 to 6: 0-4 "average risk" (AR) and 5-6 "high risk" (HR). The other subjects acted as an independent validation cohort. Results The prevalence of ACN in both the derivation and validation cohorts was 2.0%. Using the scoring system constructed, 78.5% and 21.5% of patients in the validation cohort were classified as AR and HR, respectively. The prevalence of ACN in the AR and HR groups was 1.5% and 4.1%, respectively. Individuals in the HR group had a 2.78-fold increased prevalence of ACN than the AR group. The concordance (c-) statistics was 0.70, implying a good discriminatory capability of the risk score to stratify high-risk individuals who should consider colonoscopy. Conclusion The clinical risk scoring system based on age, gender, smoking, presence of hypertension, and use of aspirin is useful for ACN risk prediction among diabetic patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is emerging evidence that metformin may have a protective effect in patients with cancer. However, its current evidence in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is inconclusive. We aim to assess the effect of metformin on long-term outcomes in patients with LARC who received neoadjuvant therapy and surgical resection. METHODS A retrospective review of 324 patients with nonmetastatic LARC who received neoadjuvant therapy and major surgical resection from 2004 to 2018. There were 27 patients who received metformin before surgery and 297 patients who did not receive metformin. RESULTS Metformin users were associated with a significantly higher age, BMI, ASA score, and 30-day readmissions (P < .05). There was no difference in overall survival (OS, P = .18) or disease-free survival (DFS, P = .33) between the two groups. On Cox regression, metformin intake did not predict OS (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.4-1.77) when controlled for age (HR 1.04, 1.02-1.06), sex (HR 1.13, 0.69-1.85), BMI (HR 0.97, 0.92-1.02), ASA score (HR: 1.7, 1.06-2.73), TNT (HR 0.31, 0.1-0.92), pathological Stage III disease (HR 2.55, 1.51-4.32), extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) (HR 3.06, 1.7-5.5), and adjuvant therapy (HR 0.1, 0.04-0.27 for <25 months OS and HR 0.3, 0.15-0.59 for ≥25 months). Disease-free survival showed a similar trend with no significant effect of metformin (HR 0.77, 0.39-1.52) when controlled for age, sex, BMI, ASA, TNT, Stage III disease, EMVI, and adjuvant therapy. CONCLUSION Metformin does not affect long-term survival in LARC treated with neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgical resection. Studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate the findings further.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) are considered precancerous colorectal lesions that should be detected and removed to prevent colorectal cancer. Previous studies in Vietnam mainly investigated the adenoma pathway, with limited data on the serrated pathway. AIM To evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, and BRAF mutations of SSLs in the Vietnamese population. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study conducted on patients with lower gastrointestinal symptoms who underwent colonoscopy at a tertiary hospital in Vietnam. SSLs were diagnosed on histopathology according to the 2019 World Health Organization classification. BRAF mutation analysis was performed using the Sanger DNA sequencing method. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to determine SSL-associated factors. RESULTS There were 2489 patients, with a mean age of 52.1 ± 13.1 and a female-to-male ratio of 1:1.1. The prevalence of SSLs was 4.2% [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.5-5.1]. In the multivariate analysis, factors significantly associated with SSLs were age ≥ 40 [odds ratio (OR): 3.303; 95%CI: 1.607-6.790], male sex (OR: 2.032; 95%CI: 1.204-3.429), diabetes mellitus (OR: 2.721; 95%CI: 1.551-4.772), and hypertension (OR: 1.650, 95%CI: 1.045-2.605). The rate of BRAF mutations in SSLs was 35.5%. CONCLUSION The prevalence of SSLs was 4.2%. BRAF mutations were present in one-third of SSLs. Significant risk factors for SSLs included age ≥ 40, male sex, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension.

Abstract
Background Globally, colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is rising, and it is a leading cause of mortality, with greater death rates pronounced in developing countries, including Jordan. Understanding knowledge and awareness of etiologic factors, unhealthy lifestyles, and dietary patterns is crucial for combating ailments. Hence, this study is aimed at investigating the level of knowledge and awareness of CRC-related risk factors, practices, and possible associations of studied variables among young Jordanians. Methodology. A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted using an online self-reported assessment of anthropometrics, knowledge, awareness, and dietary and lifestyle practices toward CRC and its related risk factors. Results A study of 795 Jordanian university students found that 93.8% were Jordanians, 73.0% were female, aged 18-24, and single. Most participants were from medical and science schools (69.4%). The vast majority (about 84%) were found to have good knowledge and awareness of CRC and its risk factors, but this was not reflected in their dietary practices. There are significant differences in physical activity, smoking, vegetable consumption, and serving sizes of red meat and processed meats between the sexes. Academic study specialties significantly impact knowledge and awareness. Conclusion The study reveals that while young Jordanian university students have good knowledge and awareness about CRC and its risk factors, these levels are not reflected in their dietary behaviors and food choices for CRC prevention, highlighting the need for national programs to improve these practices, particularly in the younger population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Gastrointestinal system (GIS) cancer in pregnancy is a rare disease. Our aim was to evaluate the association between this type of cancer and pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes. METHODS We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, Nation-wide Inpatient Sample (HCUP-NIS). We included all women who delivered or had a maternal death in the US between 2004 and 2014. We compared women with an ICD-9 diagnosis of GIS cancer to those without. Pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 9,096,788 women met inclusion criteria. Amongst them, 194 women (2/100,000) had a diagnosis of GIS cancer during pregnancy. Women with GIS cancer, compared to those without, were more likely to be Caucasian, older than 35 years of age, and to suffer from obesity, chronic hypertension, pregestational diabetes and thyroid disease. The cancer group had a lower rate of spontaneous vaginal delivery (aOR 0.2, 95 % CI 0.13-0.27, p<0.001), and a higher rate of preterm delivery (aOR 1.85, 95 % CI 1.21-2.82, p=0.04), and of maternal complications such as blood transfusion (aOR 24.7, 95 % CI 17.11-35.66, p<0.001), disseminated intravascular coagulation (aOR 14.56, 95 % CI 3.56-59.55, p<0.001), venous thromboembolism (aOR 9.4, 95 % CI 2.3-38.42, p=0.002) and maternal death (aOR 8.02, 95 % CI 2.55-25.34, p<0.001). Neonatal outcomes were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Women with a diagnosis of GIS cancer in pregnancy have a higher incidence of maternal complications including maternal death, without any differences in neonatal outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Clinically, postoperative complications are occasionally observed in lung cancer patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The increased risk of postoperative complications in DM patients has been reported in other fields. This study aims to identify risk factors for severe postoperative complications in lung cancer patients with DM. METHODS Of 2756 consecutive patients who underwent complete resection for lung cancer between 2008 and 2018 in our hospital, 475 patients (20%) were complicated by DM. Clinical factors and diabetic factors (HbA1c, preoperative fasting blood glucose [FBG], postoperative mean FBG on 1, 3 postoperative days [PODs], and use of insulin) were evaluated by univariable and multivariable analyses to identify independent risk factors of severe complication. RESULTS The 349 (73%) patients were male. Their median age was 71 years. Severe perioperative complications occurred in 128 (27%) patients. In the multivariable analysis, male (p <0.01), age (≥75 years) (p = 0.04), preoperative FBG (≥140 mg/dL) (p = 0.03), and increased mean FBG on 1, 3 PODs (≥180 mg/dL) (p <0.01) were significantly associated with severe perioperative complications. CONCLUSION Increased FBG on 1, 3 PODs (≥180 mg/dL) was an independent risk factor for severe perioperative complications in lung cancer with DM. Postoperative hyperglycemia may be correlated to severe perioperative complications.

Abstract
The optimal surgical procedure(s) for unilateral multifocal papillary thyroid carcinomas is currently controversial. As such, the present study aimed to compare the efficacies of total thyroidectomy and lobectomy in patients with unilateral multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma. A literature search of the PubMed/Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Wan Fang, and Zhi Wang databases for relevant studies, published from inception to October 31, 2022, was performed. Two researchers independently extracted data from the included studies. Lymph node metastasis, vocal fold paralysis, parathyroid injury, postoperative recurrence, and disease-free survival were evaluated. The meta-analysis included 7 studies comprising 1540 patients, of whom 496 and 1044 underwent lobectomy and total thyroidectomy, respectively. Compared with lobectomy, total thyroidectomy resulted in more vocal cord paralysis (odds ratio [OR] 0.35 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.13 to 0.96]; P = 0.04) and parathyroid injury (OR 0.11 [95% CI 0.03-0.39]; P = 0.001) but with better disease-free survival (OR 0.21 [95% CI 0.09-0.49]; P = 0.000), although vocal cord paralysis and parathyroid injury, in large part, resolved within 1 year after surgery. In addition, there was no difference in postoperative lymph nodes metastasis (OR 0.74 [95% CI 0.13-4.21]; P = 0.737) and postoperative recurrence (OR 2.37 [95% CI 0.42-13.38]; P = 0.33). Excluding studies that deviated from the general trend, total thyroidectomy was beneficial in reducing recurrence. Compared with lobectomy, total thyroidectomy was beneficial in reducing recurrence and disease-free survival and may be considered a more optimal approach for unilateral multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Abstract
It has been shown that patients with cancer have a longer expected life duration, benefiting from advanced medical therapy. Meanwhile, the risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been increasing with ageing. A growing number of studies have elucidated the association between cancer and CVD. Cancer, atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary artery disease share some common factors and interact with each other, such as obesity, aging, diabetes, and inflammation, but the potential specific mechanism is still unclear. In addition, cancer-specific and therapy-related factors may increase the risk of embolism and bleeding in patients with cancer than in general population. However, current available embolic and bleeding risk scores applied in patients with CVD may not be applicable for risk assessment in cancer patients, which would be difficult for clinicians to select an appropriate antithrombotic regimen and ensure the balance between bleeding and embolism. Moreover, different types of cancer have distinct risks, which may increase the complexity of antithrombotic therapy. In this review, we review the literature related to cancer, AF, and acute coronary syndrome, focusing on the epidemiological status, physiological mechanism, embolism and bleeding risks, and strategies of antithrombotic therapy.

Metagenomic and targeted metabolomic analyses reveal distinct phenotypes of the gut microbiota in patients with colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Chin Med J (Engl) 2023; 136:2847-2856. [PMID: 36959686 PMCID: PMC10686596 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000002421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 03/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), and the patients with CRC and T2DM have worse survival. The human gut microbiota (GM) is linked to the development of CRC and T2DM, respectively. However, the GM characteristics in patients with CRC and T2DM remain unclear. METHODS We performed fecal metagenomic and targeted metabolomics studies on 36 samples from CRC patients with T2DM (DCRC group, n = 12), CRC patients without diabetes (CRC group, n = 12), and healthy controls (Health group, n = 12). We analyzed the fecal microbiomes, characterized the composition and function based on the metagenomics of DCRC patients, and detected the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and bile acids (BAs) levels in all fecal samples. Finally, we performed a correlation analysis of the differential bacteria and metabolites between different groups. RESULTS Compared with the CRC group, LefSe analysis showed that there is a specific GM community in DCRC group, including an increased abundance of Eggerthella , Hungatella , Peptostreptococcus , and Parvimonas , and decreased Butyricicoccus , Lactobacillus , and Paraprevotella . The metabolomics analysis results revealed that the butyric acid level was lower but the deoxycholic acid and 12-keto-lithocholic acid levels were higher in the DCRC group than other groups ( P < 0.05). The correlation analysis showed that the dominant bacterial abundance in the DCRC group ( Parvimonas , Desulfurispora , Sebaldella , and Veillonellales , among others) was negatively correlated with butyric acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, cholic acid and glycocholate. However, the abundance of mostly inferior bacteria was positively correlated with these metabolic acid levels, including Faecalibacterium , Thermococci , and Cellulophaga . CONCLUSIONS Unique fecal microbiome signatures exist in CRC patients with T2DM compared to those with non-diabetic CRC. Alterations in GM composition and SCFAs and secondary BAs levels may promote CRC development.

Abstract
Inflammation-associated insulin resistance is a key trigger of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but the underlying mechanisms and effective interventions remain unclear. Here, we report the association of placental inflammation (tumor necrosis factor-α) and abnormal maternal glucose metabolism in patients with GDM, and a high fermentable dietary fiber (HFDF; konjac) could reduce GDM development through gut flora-short-chain fatty acid-placental inflammation axis in GDM mouse model. Mechanistically, HFDF increases abundances of Lachnospiraceae and butyrate, reduces placental-derived inflammation by enhancing gut barrier and inhibiting the transfer of bacterial-derived lipopolysaccharide, and ultimately resists high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance. Lachnospiraceae and butyrate have similar anti-GDM and anti-placental inflammation effects, and they can ameliorate placental function and pregnancy outcome effects probably by dampening placental immune dysfunction. These findings demonstrate the involvement of important placental inflammation-related mechanisms in the progression of GDM and the great potential of HFDFs to reduce susceptibility to GDM through gut-flora-placenta axis.

Abstract
To compare the effectiveness of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and non-robotic surgeries (NRES) in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), medical databases were searched including PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library up to January 2023. The methodology follows PRISMA guidelines, including the PRISMA flow diagram. Data from the included studies were extracted independently by two researchers. Seven studies involving five hundred seventy-seven patients were included. Of these, 275 underwent TORS and 302 underwent NRES. The disease-free survival rate was significantly higher in the TORS group than in the NRES group (OR = 3.43, 95% CI 1.92-6.15, P < 0.0001). However, there were no significant differences in positive surgical margins, hospital stays, operation time, blood loss, postoperative bleeding rate, perioperative tracheostomy, perioperative feeding tube, and overall survival rate. These findings can initially guide the preoperative counseling of TORS in patients with OPSCC, and preliminarily confirm that the adoption of TORS deserves careful consideration.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Numerous pathophysiological mechanisms, such as abnormal cell proliferation, cell differentiation, resistance to apoptosis, invasion of structures adjacent to colorectal tumor cells, and distant metastasis, are involved in colorectal carcinogenesis. These processes are initiated by the complex interaction of a number of genetic and environmental factors, including sedentary lifestyle, obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, or gut microbiota. Despite the significant progress achieved in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with colorectal cancer, there has been recently a noteworthy increase in the incidence of colorectal cancer in individuals below the age of 50 years. Early-onset colorectal cancer has a different frequency of oncogenic mutations, a higher prevalence of mucinous histology, a distinct deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation profile, a more distal location, and lower survival rates. A significant improvement in the prognosis of these patients can be achieved through the detection and removal of modifiable risk factors, along with the implementation of personalized screening strategies for individuals at high risk for this malignancy. Furthermore, gaining comprehension of the pathophysiological mechanisms by which these risk factors contribute to the process of oncogenesis may facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have high prevalence rates and place a considerable burden on the health-care industry. The association between both diseases is controversial. Our aim was to examine the association between NAFLD and CRC. Using data extracted from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) from 2000 to 2015, we enrolled 60 298 patients with NAFLD. Of these, 52,986 met the inclusion criteria. A comparison group was selected using 4-fold propensity score matching by age, sex, and year of index date. The primary outcome was the cumulative incidence of CRC in patients with NAFLD. Over a mean follow-up period of 8.5 years, 160 new cases of CRC were identified. The incidence rate of CRC was higher in the NAFLD group (12.23 per 100,000 person-years) than in the comparison cohort (6.0 per 100,000 person-years). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of CRC was 1.259 in the study group (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.047-1.486, P = .003). Using Kaplan-Meier analysis, we ascertained that the cumulative incidence of CRC was significantly high in the NAFLD group. Patients older than 50 years, with diabetes mellitus (DM), and with chronic liver disease also exhibited a high risk of CRC. NAFLD was associated with a high risk of CRC. CRC occurs more frequently in patients with NAFLD aged between 50 and 59 years and those older than 60 years with comorbidities, including DM and chronic liver disease. Physicians should consider the subsequent risk of CRC when treating patients with NAFLD.

Abstract
In general, as the national standard of living and life expectancy of people increase, the health burden of cancer also increases. Prevention strategies, including the screening and investigation of the causes of cancer as well as the expansion of treatment infrastructure, are necessary. In this review, we discussed the management strategies for gastric and colorectal cancers in Uzbekistan. Gastrointestinal cancers can be significantly prevented by certain screening strategies such as endoscopic examination. Furthermore, as both cancer types are closely related to the eating habits and lifestyles of people in Uzbekistan, such causes should be investigated and prevented. Practical advice to increase the efficiency of treatment is included, considering the current situation in Uzbekistan. Data from South Korea, which has performed nationwide screening for two decades and has made progress in improving the prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal cancers, will be discussed as a literature control.

Risk-Adapted Starting Age for Personalized Colorectal Cancer Screening: Validated Evidence From National Population-Based Studies. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2023; 21:819-826.e13. [PMID: 36403728 DOI: 10.1016/j.cgh.2022.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS A one-size-fits-all approach to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening that does not account for CRC risk factors is not conducive to personalized screening. On the basis of the principle of equal management of equal risks, we aimed to tailor and validate risk-adapted starting ages of CRC screening for individuals with different CRC risk factors. METHODS A multi-center community-based population cohort (N = 3,165,088) was used to evaluate the starting age of CRC screening with comprehensive consideration of risk factors. Age-specific 10-year cumulative risk curves were used to determine when individuals at greater risk for CRC reached the same risk level as the 50-year-old general population, which is currently the recommended starting age for CRC screening in China. RESULTS During the study follow-up period (2013-2021), 4,840 incident CRCs were recorded. Family history of CRC, adverse lifestyle, and comorbidities demonstrated heterogeneous associations with CRC risk (hazard ratios, 1.05-1.55; P < .05). Men and women with CRC family history and at least 2 risk factors reached the standard benchmark risk (0.28%) for screening at the age of 40, 10 years earlier than their peers without risk factors in the general population. Proposed starting ages for CRC screening were validated in an independent community-based population cohort (N = 1,023,367). CONCLUSIONS We determined a risk-adapted CRC screening starting age for individuals with various CRC risk factors. Earlier, personalized screening based on these findings could allow for scarce health resources to be dedicated to individuals who benefit most.

Abstract
Objective Coronary artery disease (CAD) and cancer are the two leading causes of death worldwide. Evidence suggests the existence of shared mechanisms for these two diseases. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigateassociation between CAD and incident cancer risk. Methods We searched Cochrane, PubMed, and Embase from inception until October 20, 2021, without language restrictions. Observational cohort studies were used to investigate the association between CAD and incident cancer risk. Using random-effects models, the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. We utilized subgroup and sensitivity analyses to determine the potential sources of heterogeneity and explore the association between CAD and specific cancers. This study was conducted under a pre-established, registered protocol on PROSPERO (CRD42022302507). Results We initially examined 8,533 articles, and included 14 cohort studies in our review, 11 of which were eligible for meta-analysis. Patients with CAD had significantly higher odds of cancer risk than those without CAD (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = [1.08-1.22], I2 = 66%). Subgroup analysis revealed that the incident cancer risk was significantly higher in both sexes and patients with CAD with or without myocardial infarction. Sensitivity analysis revealed that the risk remained higher in patients with CAD even after >1 year of follow-up (OR = 1.23, 95% CI = [1.08-1.39], I2 = 76%). Regarding the specific outcome, the incident risk for colorectal and lung cancers was significantly higher (OR = 1.06, 95% CI = [1.03-1.10], I2 = 10%, and OR = 1.36, 95% CI = [1.15-1.60], I2 = 90%, respectively) and that for breast cancer was lower (OR = 0.86, 95% CI = [0.77-0.97], I2 = 57%) in patients with CAD than in those without CAD. Conclusion CAD may be associated with incident cancer risk, particularly for lung and colorectal cancers, in men and women as well as patients with or without myocardial infarction. Early detection of new-onset cancer and detailed cancer surveillance programs should be implemented in patients with CAD to reduce cancer-related morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on the short-term outcomes and long-term survival of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who underwent curative resection. Methods This study retrospectively included 136 patients (T2DM group) with resectable CRC and T2DM from Jan 2013 to Dec 2017. Propensity score-matched control group consisting of 136 patients (non-T2DM group) were selected from 1143 CRC patients without T2DM. The short-term outcomes and prognosis were compared between the T2DM and non-T2DM group. Results A total of 272 patients (136 patients for each group) were included in this study. Patients in T2DM group had higher body mass index (BMI), higher proportion of hypertension and cerebrovascular diseases (P<0.05). T2DM group had more overall complications (P=0.001), more major complications (P=0.003) and higher risk of reoperation (P=0.007) when compared with non-T2DM patients. T2DM patients had longer hospitalization time than non-T2DM (20.7 ± 10.2 vs. 17.5 ± 6.2, P=0.002). As for the prognosis, T2DM patients had worse 5-year overall survival (OS) (P=0.024) and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) (P=0.019) in all stage. Moreover, T2DM and TNM stage were the independent predictors of OS and DFS for CRC patients. Conclusions T2DM increases overall complications and major complications, and prolongs the hospitalization time after CRC surgery. In addition, T2DM indicates the poor prognosis of CRC patients. A prospective study with large sample size is required to confirm our findings.

Central markers of neuroinflammation in alcohol use disorder: A meta-analysis of neuroimaging, cerebral spinal fluid, and postmortem studies. ALCOHOL, CLINICAL & EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 47:197-208.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS There is emerging evidence that heavy long-term alcohol consumption may alter the neuroimmune profile. We conducted a meta-analysis of the association between alcohol use disorder (AUD) and the extent of neuroinflammation using cerebrospinal (CSF), PET (Positron Emission Tomography), and postmortem studies. DESIGN AND METHODS A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) for AUD-related terms in combination with neuroinflammatory markers and cytokine- and chemokine-related terms for CSF, PET, and postmortem studies. Participants had to meet established criteria for AUD and/or heavy alcohol consumption with dependence features and be compared with healthy controls. Papers retrieved were assessed for inclusion criteria and a critical appraisal was completed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A meta-analysis was conducted on postmortem and PET studies. RESULTS Eleven papers met the inclusion criteria with CSF, PET, and postmortem studies included in the final analysis. Postmortem studies demonstrate significant heterogeneity (𝑄 (14) = 62.02, 𝑝 < 0.001), with the alcohol group showing higher levels of neuroimmune markers than controls (𝑑 = 1.50 [95% CI 0.56, 2.45]). PET studies demonstrated a lower [11 C] PBR28 total volume of distribution (V T ) for translocator protein in the hippocampus (g = -1.95 [95% CI -2.72, -1.18], p < 0.001) of the alcohol group compared to controls. CONCLUSION There is emerging evidence across multiple diagnostic modalities that alcohol impacts neuroimmune signaling in the human brain.

Abstract
Tissue expansion can be used to overcome challenges due to tissue deficiency in plastic and reconstructive surgery; however, the long expansion process is often accompanied by numerous complications. This meta-analysis aimed to determine whether endoscopy-assisted expander placement could decrease complications and shorten treatment time. This study followed the principles of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021226116). A literature search was performed in eight databases from their inception dates up to 25 August 2021, to identify clinical studies on endoscopy-assisted and/or open tissue expander placement in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. In seven studies, 194 underwent endoscopy-assisted expander placement, and 565 underwent open expander placement. The overall complication rate in the endoscopy-assisted group was significantly lower than that in the open group (risk difference (RD) -0.28, 95% confidence interval (CI), -0.38, -0.18, p < .001). Subgroup analysis showed significantly lower incidence rates of hematoma, infection and dehiscence in the endoscopy-assisted group. The complication rate in the head/neck was lower with low heterogeneity (RD, -0.18; 95% CI, -0.26 to -0.09, p < .001; I2 = 0%). The endoscopy-assisted group had shorter surgery time, hospital stay and time to full expansion (weighted mean difference (WMD), -13.97 min, -16.88 h, -27.54 days; 95% CI, -15.85, -12.08 min, -24.36, -9.40 h, -38.85, -16.24 days; both p < .001, respectively). Endoscopy-assisted expander placement may help lower the risk of complications, especially in the head/neck, and reduce surgery time, hospital stay, and time to full expansion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a serious threat to human physical and mental health. Due to the novelty of the open reading frame (ORF), ORF has shown a wide range of new genetic associations in cancer. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between the C2orf71 SNPs and CRC susceptibility. METHODS We recruited 1419 participants to perform an association analysis between C2orf71 SNPs and CRC risk through SNPStats online solftware. Genotyping was completed by the AgenaMassARRAY. In addition, we used false-positive report probability analysis to detect whether the positive findings were noteworthy observations. We also used Haploview 4.2 software and SNPStats online software to conduct the haplotype analysis and analysis of linkage disequilibrium (LD). Finally, the interaction of SNP-SNP in CRC risk was evaluated by multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR). RESULTS The overall analysis showed thatC2orf71-rs17744093, -rs10200693, and -rs13385188 were significantly associated with the CRC susceptibility. C2orf71-rs17744093 was associated with CRC risk under dominant model (OR = 1.25, p = 0.048). -rs10200693 was associated with CRC risk under allele (OR = 1.17, p = 0.041) and log-additive model (OR = 1.16, p = 0.045). -rs13385188 had significant association with CRC risk under multiple genetic models (allele: OR = 1.19, p = 0.023; log-additive: OR = 1.18, p = 0.026). Multiple stratified analyses showed that except for the three candidate SNPS mentioned above, -rs10166913 (age < 60 years and drinking) and -RS17007544 (< 60 years) were associated with increased CRC risk. CONCLUSION C2orf71-rs17744093, -rs10200693, -rs10166913, -rs17007544, and -rs13385188 were associated with CRC susceptibility.

Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for postoperative complications. It has been reported that insulin-treated diabetes is associated with increased postoperative mortality compared to non-insulin-treated diabetes after cardiac surgery; however, it is unclear whether this finding is applicable to non-cardiac surgery. Objective We aimed to assess the effects of insulin-treated and non-insulin-treated diabetes on short-term mortality after non-cardiac surgery. Methods Our study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. PubMed, CENTRAL, EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science databases were searched from inception to February 22, 2021. Cohort or case-control studies that provided information on postoperative short-term mortality in insulin-treated diabetic and non-insulin-treated diabetic patients were included. We pooled the data with a random-effects model. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system was used to rate the quality of evidence. Results Twenty-two cohort studies involving 208,214 participants were included. Our study suggested that insulin-treated diabetic patients was associated with a higher risk of 30-day mortality than non-insulin-treated diabetic patients [19 studies with 197,704 patients, risk ratio (RR) 1.305; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.127 to 1.511; p < 0.001]. The studies were rated as very low quality. The new pooled result only slightly changed after seven simulated missing studies were added using the trim-and-fill method (RR, 1.260; 95% CI, 1.076-1.476; p = 0.004). Our results also showed no significant difference between insulin-treated diabetes and non-insulin-treated diabetes regarding in-hospital mortality (two studies with 9,032 patients, RR, 0.970; 95% CI, 0.584-1.611; p = 0.905). Conclusion Very-low-quality evidence suggests that insulin-treated diabetes was associated with increased 30-day mortality after non-cardiac surgery. However, this finding is non-definitive because of the influence of confounding factors.

Abstract
Background and aim The current study aimed to clarify the association between household polluting cooking fuels and adverse birth outcomes using previously published articles. Methods In this systematic review and meta-analysis, a systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were undertaken for relevant studies that had been published from inception to 16 January 2023. We calculated the overall odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for adverse birth outcomes [low birth weight (LBW), small for gestational age (SGA), stillbirth, and preterm birth (PTB)] associated with polluting cooking fuels (biomass, coal, and kerosene). Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were also conducted. Results We included 16 cross-sectional, five case-control, and 11 cohort studies in the review. Polluting cooking fuels were found to be associated with LBW (OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.24, 1.52), SGA (OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.13, 1.94), stillbirth (OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.23, 1.55), and PTB (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.19, 1.36). The results of most of the subgroup analyses were consistent with the main results. In the meta-regression of LBW, study design (cohort study: P < 0.01; cross-sectional study: P < 0.01) and sample size (≥ 1000: P < 0.01) were the covariates associated with heterogeneity. Cooking fuel types (mixed fuel: P < 0.05) were the potentially heterogeneous source in the SGA analysis. Conclusion The use of household polluting cooking fuels could be associated with LBW, SGA, stillbirth, and PTB. The limited literature, observational study design, exposure and outcome assessment, and residual confounding suggest that further strong epidemiological evidence with improved and standardized data was required to assess health risks from particular fuels and technologies utilized.

The Association between Hypertension and Insomnia: A Bidirectional Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies. Int J Hypertens 2022; 2022:4476905. [PMID: 36618449 PMCID: PMC9815923 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4476905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Studies on bidirectional associations between hypertension and insomnia are inconclusive. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to systematically review and summarize the current evidence from epidemiological studies that evaluated this relationship. Materials and Methods PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan Fang, and VIP databases were searched for studies published up to May 2021. Prospective cohort studies that reported the relationship between hypertension and insomnia in adults were included. Data were extracted or provided by the authors according to the prevalence rate, incidence rate, unadjusted or adjusted odds ratio (OR), and 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity was assessed by I2 statistics. ORs were pooled by using random-effects models. Results A total of 23 prospective studies were identified. Twenty cohort studies recorded OR-adjusted value with the outcome for hypertension (OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.07-1.16; I2 = 83.9%), and three cohort studies reported OR-adjusted value with the outcome for insomnia (OR = 1.20, 95%CI: 1.08-1.32; I2 = 35.1%). Subgroup analysis showed that early morning awakening and composite insomnia were significantly associated with hypertension. Conclusions The result indicates a possible bidirectional association between hypertension and insomnia. Early identification and prevention of insomnia in hypertension patients are needed, and vice versa.

Zhang Y, Zhang Z, Wei L, Wei S. Construction and validation of nomograms combined with novel machine learning algorithms to predict early death of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Front Public Health 2022; 10:1008137. [PMID: 36605237 PMCID: PMC9810140 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.1008137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and non-clinical characteristics that may affect the early death rate of patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) and develop accurate prognostic predictive models for mCRC. Method Medical records of 35,639 patients with mCRC diagnosed from 2010 to 2019 were obtained from the SEER database. All the patients were randomly divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort in a ratio of 7:3. X-tile software was utilized to identify the optimal cutoff point for age and tumor size. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the independent predictors associated with overall early death and cancer-specific early death caused by mCRC. Simultaneously, predictive and dynamic nomograms were constructed. Moreover, logistic regression, random forest, CatBoost, LightGBM, and XGBoost were used to establish machine learning (ML) models. In addition, receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs) and calibration plots were obtained to estimate the accuracy of the models. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was employed to determine the clinical benefits of ML models. Results The optimal cutoff points for age were 58 and 77 years and those for tumor size of 45 and 76. A total of 15 independent risk factors, namely, age, marital status, race, tumor localization, histologic type, grade, N-stage, tumor size, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, bone metastasis, brain metastasis, liver metastasis, and lung metastasis, were significantly associated with the overall early death rate of patients with mCRC and the cancer-specific early death rate of patients with mCRC, following which nomograms were constructed. The ML models revealed that the random forest model accurately predicted outcomes, followed by logistic regression, CatBoost, XGBoost, and LightGBM models. Compared with other algorithms, the random forest model provided more clinical benefits than other models and can be used to make clinical decisions in overall early death and specific early death caused by mCRC. Conclusion ML algorithms combined with nomograms may play an important role in distinguishing early deaths owing to mCRC and potentially help clinicians make clinical decisions and follow-up strategies.

Foods 2022; 11:foods11243956. [PMID: 36553697 PMCID: PMC9777659 DOI: 10.3390/foods11243956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 12/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Although increasing evidence shows the association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and colorectal cancer, the related mechanism remains unclear. This study examined the suppressive effect of lactoferrin (LF) on the development of T2D-induced colon cancer. First, a co-cultured cell model consisting of NCM460 and HT29 cells was constructed to mimic the progression of T2D into colon cancer. The migration ability of NCM460 cells increased significantly (p < 0.05) after cultivation in HT29 cell medium (high glucose), while LF suppressed the progression of T2D to colon cancer by regulating the 5′-nucleotidase domain-containing 3 (NT5DC3) protein and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in diabetic BALB/c mice and in cell models. A mutation assay of the phosphorylation site in the NT5DC3 protein and a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) protein binding test were performed to further ascertain a mechanistic link between LF and the NT5DC3 protein. The results indicated that LF specifically bound to the NT5DC3 protein to activate its phosphorylation at the Thr6 and Ser11 sites. Next, metabolic-specific staining and localization experiments further confirmed that LF acted as a phosphate donor for NT5DC3 protein phosphorylation by regulating the downstream metabolic pathway in T2D-induced colon tumors, which was specifically accomplished by controlling Thr6/Ser11 phosphorylation in NT5DC3 and its downstream effectors. These data on LF and NT5DC3 protein may suggest a new therapeutic strategy for cancer prevention, especially in T2D patients susceptible to colon cancer.

Abstract
Among the various dosage forms, oral medicine has extensive benefits including ease of administration and patients' compliance, over injectable, suppositories, ocular and nasal. Despite of extensive demand and emerging advantages, over 50% of therapeutic molecules are not available in oral form due to their physicochemical properties. More importantly, most of the biologics, proteins, peptide, and large molecular drugs are mostly available in injectable form. Conventional oral drug delivery system has limitation such as degradation and lack of stability within stomach due to presence of highly acidic gastric fluid, hinders their therapeutic efficacy and demand more frequent and higher dosing. Hence, formulation for controlled, sustained, and targeted drug delivery, need to be designed with feasibility to target the specific region of gastrointestinal (GI) tract such as stomach, small intestine, intestine lymphatic, and colon is challenging. Among various oral delivery approaches, mucoadhesive vehicles are promising and has potential for improving oral drug retention and controlled absorption to treat local diseases within the GI tract, as well systemic diseases. This review provides the overview about the challenges and opportunities to design mucoadhesive formulation for oral delivery of therapeutics in a way to target the specific region of the GI tract. Finally, we have concluded with future perspective and potential of mucoadhesive formulations for oral local and systemic delivery.

Abstract
Early Onset Colorectal cancer (EOCRC) incidence is increasing at an alarming pace. An increase of 90% in colon cancer and 124% in rectal cancer is expected by 2030. Patients with EOCRC are not receiving additional attention compared to older patients despite having a unique molecular pattern, majority of cases are sporadic, and related short- and long-term treatment and disease complications. The current management and screening guidelines have been constructed from studies on late onset CRC. Plethora of studies are ongoing to understand this disease entity in order to construct a tailored prevention, detection and management plans. While waiting for a better understanding of the disease, efforts should be directed toward improving the quality of care across the cancer continuum. Here we aim to address the challenges faced by EOCRC patients across the cancer continuum. This will facilitate directing future efforts and research toward construction of a personalized and precise guidelines. Studies showed that Ealy onset colorectal cancer is caused by an accumulative risk exposure. Indirect cost of premature death and reduced productivity due to EOCRC exceeds direct costs. Patients, system and physicians related diagnosis delays should be improved. Young cancer patients have unique survivorship concerns different from old patients.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is an aggressive form of chemical drug therapy aiming to destroy cancer cells. Adjuvant therapy may reduce hazards of chemotherapy and help in destroying these cells when obtained from natural products, such as medical plants. In this study, the potential therapeutic effect of Rosa damascena callus crude extract produced in vitamin-enhanced media is investigated on colorectal cancer cell line Caco-2. Two elicitors, i.e., L-ascorbic acid and citric acid at a concentration of 0.5 g/L were added to the callus induction medium. Callus extraction and the GC–MS analysis of methanolic crude extracts were also determined. Cytotoxicity, clonogenicity, proliferation and migration of Caco-2 colorectal cancer cells were investigated using MTT cytotoxicity, colony-forming, Ki-67 flow cytometry proliferation and Migration Scratch assays, respectively. Our results indicated that L-ascorbic acid treatment enhanced callus growth parameters and improved secondary metabolite contents. It showed the least IC50 value of 137 ug/mL compared to 237 ug/mL and 180 ug/mL in the citric acid-treated and control group. We can conclude that R. damascena callus elicited by L-ascorbic acid improved growth and secondary metabolite contents as well as having an efficient antiproliferative, anti-clonogenic and anti-migratory effect on Caco-2 cancer cells, thus, can be used as an adjuvant anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
Introduction The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing in East Africa. Changes in lifestyle and dietary changes, particularly alcohol consumption, smoking, and consumption of cooked meats with a reduction in fibre in the diet may be responsible. The objective of our study was to determine the risk factors responsible for CRC in Uganda. Methods We recruited 129 participants with histologically proven colorectal adenocarcinoma and 258 control participants from four specialized hospitals in central Uganda from 2019 to 2021. Controls were block matched for age (±5 years) and sex of the case participants. The risk factor variables included; area of residence, tribe, body mass index (BMI), smoking, alcohol consumption and family history of gastrointestinal cancer. We used conditional or ordinal logistic regression to obtain crude and adjusted odds ratios for risk factors associated with CRC. Results In bivariate analysis, case participants were more likely to be associated with urban residence (cOR:62.11; p<0.001); family history of GI cancer (cOR: 14.34; p=0.001); past smokers (cOR: 2.10; p=0.080); past alcohol drinkers (cOR: 2.35; p=0.012); current alcohol drinkers (cOR: 3.55; p<0.001); high BMI 25–29.9 kg/m2 (cOR: 2.49; p<0.001); and high BMI ≥30kg/m2 (cOR: 2.37; p=0.012). In the multivariate analysis, urban residence (aOR: 82.79; p<0.001), family history of GI cancer (aOR: 61.09; p<0.001) and past smoking (aOR: 4.73; p=0.036) were independently associated with a higher risk of developing CRC. Conclusion A family history of gastrointestinal cancer was a risk factor for CRC. While population-based CRC screening may not be feasible in low income-countries, targeted CRC screening for first-degree relatives with CRC should be considered in East Africa. Molecular genetic studies need to be carried out to determine the role of hereditary factors in our population. Prevention strategies should be adopted to avoid smoking in our population which was associated with an increased risk of CRC.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the colorectal cancer screening in China, and that when the screening was implemented in a specific region. Methods A 13-state Markov model was established to compare four screening protocols, including annual fecal immunochemical testing (FIT1), biennial fecal immunochemical testing (FIT2), electronic colonoscopy every 10 years (e-CSPY10), and electronic colonoscopy every 5 years (e-CSPY5), with no screening from the perspective of Chinese healthcare system. The model simulated the health states of a cohort of 100,000 average-risk individuals aging from 50 to 75. Additionally, scenarios including the implementation in a specific region, starting from 40, and incompletely successful treatment of cancer were also analyzed. Results Annual and biennial FIT could save 8.13USD (US Dollar) and 44.96USD per person, and increase 0.0705QALYs (Quality-Adjusted Life Years) and 0.2341 QALYs compared with no screening, respectively. Annual FIT could decrease costs by 36.81USD per person and increase 0.1637 QALYs in comparison to biennial FIT. The results showed that both annual and biennial FIT for screening were dominant over no screening, and annual FIT was dominant over biennial FIT. The ICER (Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio) for e-CSPY10 were 1183.51USD/QALY and 536.66USD/QALY compared with FIT1 and FIT2. The ICER for e-CSPY5 were 1158.16USD/QALY and 770.85USD/QALY compared with FIT1 and FIT2. And the ICER for e-CSPY5 relative to e-CSPY10 was 358.71USD/QALY. All the ICER values were lower than the economic threshold of 2021 Chinese GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per capita in 2021(12554.42USD). Conclusions It is worthwhile to popularize CRC screening in mainland China, as FIT always saving costs and colonoscopy is cost-effective. Regions with high income can take electronic colonoscopy every 10 years, or even every 5 years into consideration when determining the specific strategies.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis through complex processes and is considered as an independent risk factor for cancer in general and for CRC in particular. Diabetic patients have complications in the postoperative period following CRC surgery. The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of type II DM (T2DM) on postoperative outcomes for CRC compared with non-diabetic patients. The present study analyzed the data from patients admitted to the General Surgery Department, Emergency Hospital of Constanța (Romania) diagnosed with CRC and DM compared with a control group (patients with CRC, without DM, recruited in the same period and frequency matched to cases by number, sex and age) analyzing patient comorbidities and postoperative complications. A total of 61 patients had undergone surgery for CRC and met the inclusion criteria in the present study conducted during September 2020-2021. A total of 30 patients associated T2DM. Diabetic patients have been associated with more comorbidities than non-diabetics; the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index score ≥6 was identified in 90% of diabetic patients compared with 45.2% of controls. Grade III Clavien-Dindo classification was observed in 13.3% diabetic patients compared with 3.2% of non-diabetic patients. Additionally, a higher rate of urinary and pulmonary complications (6.7 vs. 3.2% in controls respectively) in patients with diabetes was found. Postoperative hospitalization was prolonged in diabetic patients (P=0.042). Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the laparoscopic approach for diabetic patients was found to be associated with <grade III Clavien-Dindo classification (P=0.040) and the absence of surgical site infection (P=0.040). Diabetes predisposes patients to numerous postoperative complications following CRC surgery and postoperative therapeutic conduct must be personalized to prevent possible postoperative complications following CRC.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: In the last decades there has been an increasing body of research identifying the positive correlation between diabetes mellitus (DM) and solid malignancies, moreover, having shown DM as an independent risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of DM on metastatic CRC (mCRC), and to identify possible predictive factors in the successful treatment of mCRC. Materials and Methods: 468 patients with mCRC were included in this retrospective, observational study. A total of 8669 oncological treatment cycles related to 988 distinct chemotherapy lines were analyzed. Data regarding lines of treatment and blood panel values were obtained from the Oncohelp Hospital database. Results: The presence of DM in male patients >70 years was a negative predictor (RR = 1.66 and a p = 0.05). DM seemed to have a detrimental effect in patients whose treatment included bevacizumab (median time to treatment failure -TTF- 94 days for DM+ cases compared to 114 days for DM-patients, p = 0.07). Analysis of treatments including bevacizumab based on DM status revealed lower values of mean TTF in DM+ female patients versus DM-(81.08 days versus 193.09 days, p < 0.001). It was also observed that DM+ patients had a higher mean TTF when undergoing anti-EGFR (epidermal growth factor) therapy (median TTF 143 days for DM+ patients versus 97.5 days for those without DM, p = 0.06). Conclusions: The favorable predictive factors identified were the inclusion of antiangiogenic agents, a higher hemoglobin value, a higher lymphocyte count, the inclusion of anti-EGFR treatment for DM+ patients, a higher creatinine, and a higher lymphocyte count in treatment lines that included anti-EGFR treatment. Unfavorable predictive factors were represented by the presence of DM in female patients undergoing antiangiogenic treatment, neutropenia in male patients, the association of oxaliplatin and antiangiogenic agents, and a higher monocyte count in the aforementioned treatment lines.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. The dysbiotic gut microbiota and its metabolite secretions play a significant role in CRC development and progression. In this study, we identified microbial and metabolic biomarkers applicable to CRC using a meta-analysis of metagenomic datasets from diverse geographical regions. We used LEfSe, random forest (RF), and co-occurrence network methods to identify microbial biomarkers. Geographic dataset-specific markers were identified and evaluated using area under the ROC curve (AUC) scores and random effect size. Co-occurrence networks analysis showed a reduction in the overall microbial associations and the presence of oral pathogenic microbial clusters in CRC networks. Analysis of predicted metabolites from CRC datasets showed the enrichment of amino acids, cadaverine, and creatine in CRC, which were positively correlated with CRC-associated microbes (Peptostreptococcus stomatis, Gemella morbillorum, Bacteroides fragilis, Parvimonas spp., Fusobacterium nucleatum, Solobacterium moorei, and Clostridium symbiosum), and negatively correlated with control-associated microbes. Conversely, butyrate, nicotinamide, choline, tryptophan, and 2-hydroxybutanoic acid showed positive correlations with control-associated microbes (P < 0.05). Overall, our study identified a set of global CRC biomarkers that are reproducible across geographic regions. We also reported significant differential metabolites and microbe-metabolite interactions associated with CRC. This study provided significant insights for further investigations leading to the development of noninvasive CRC diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions. IMPORTANCE Several studies showed associations between gut dysbiosis and CRC. Yet, the results are not conclusive due to cohort-specific associations that are influenced by genomic, dietary, and environmental stimuli and associated reproducibility issues with various analysis approaches. Emerging evidence suggests the role of microbial metabolites in modulating host inflammation and DNA damage in CRC. However, the experimental validations have been hindered by cost, resources, and cumbersome technical expertise required for metabolomic investigations. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis of CRC microbiota data from diverse geographical regions using multiple methods to achieve reproducible results. We used a computational approach to predict the metabolomic profiles using existing CRC metagenomic datasets. We identified a reliable set of CRC-specific biomarkers from this analysis, including microbial and metabolite markers. In addition, we revealed significant microbe-metabolite associations through correlation analysis and microbial gene families associated with dysregulated metabolic pathways in CRC, which are essential in understanding the vastly sporadic nature of CRC development and progression.

Abstract
“Colorectal cancer” (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers, posing a scientific challenge and serving as a model for investigating the molecular pathways underlying its development. “Advanced glycation end products” (AGEs) have drawn interest in this context. The buildup of these diverse, chemically complex groups, which are formed by a “non-enzymatic interaction” between reducing sugar and a range of macromolecules, significantly increases “inflammation and oxidative stress” in the body, which has long been associated to cancer formation. The traditional pathways that promote AGE formation, as well as the significance of AGEs’ interaction with the receptor for “advanced glycation end products” (RAGE) and other means involved in CRC initiation and progression, are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Previous resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) studies found spontaneous neural activity in the brains of Pathological Internet Use (PIU) subjects. However, the findings were inconsistent in studies using different neuroimaging analyses. This meta-analytic study aimed to identify a common pattern of altered brain activity from different studies. Resting-state fMRI studies, based on whole-brain analysis methods published before July 1, 2021, were searched in multiple databases (PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Web of Science). A voxel-based signed differential mapping (SDM) method was used to clarify brain regions, which showed anomalous activity in PIU subjects compared with healthy controls (HCs). Ten eligible publications consisting of 306 PIU subjects and 314 HCs were included in the SDM meta-analysis. Compared with HCs, subjects with PIU showed increased spontaneous neural functional activity in the left temporal pole of the superior temporal cortex, left amygdala, bilateral median cingulate cortex, and right insula. Meanwhile, a decreased spontaneous neural activity was identified in the left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus and right middle frontal gyrus in the subjects with PIU. These abnormal brain regions are associated with cognitive executive control and emotional regulation. The consistent changes under different functional brain imaging indicators found in our study may provide important targets for the future diagnosis and intervention of PIU.

[PMID: 35463382 PMCID: PMC9021717 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.737330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of colon cancer (CC). Epidemiologic studies previously reported a higher risk for right-sided colon cancer (RCC) compare to left-sided colon cancer (LCC), although data are conflicting. We performed a meta-analysis to investigate this issue. Methods We systematically searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library database for prospective cohort studies published up to June 2021. Studies were included if they reported site-specific estimates of the relative risk (RR) between diabetes and the risks of RCC and LCC. Random effects meta-analyses with inverse variance weighting were used to estimate the pooled site-specific RRs and the RCC-to-LCC ratio of RRs (RRRs). Results Data from 10 prospective cohort studies, representing 1,642,823 individuals (mainly white) and 17,624 CC patients, were included in the analysis. Diabetes was associated with an increased risk of both RCC (RR =1.35, 95% CI = 1.24-1.47) and LCC (RR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.08-1.28). After adjusting for major risk factors, individuals with diabetes had a greater risk for RCC than for LCC (RRR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.02-1.26), with no significant heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 0%). Conclusions This meta-analysis indicates that diabetes is associated with a higher risk for RCC than for LCC. Our findings suggest that colonoscopic surveillance in diabetic patients with careful examination of the right colon is warranted.

Abstract
Simple Summary An epidemiologic link exists between obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and some cancers, such as breast cancer and colon cancer. The prevalence of obesity and diabetes is increasing, and additional epidemiologic data suggest that there may be a link between obesity and risk of thyroid abnormalities. Factors that may link obesity and diabetes with thyroid proliferative disorders include elevated circulating levels of insulin, increased body fat, high blood sugars, and exogenous insulin use. However, mechanisms underlying associations of obesity, diabetes, and thyroid proliferative disorders are not yet fully understood. The present manuscript reviews and summarizes current evidence of mechanisms and epidemiologic associations of obesity, insulin resistance, and use of anti-diabetes medications with benign and malignant proliferative disorders of the thyroid. Abstract The prevalence of obesity is progressively increasing along with the potential high risk for insulin resistance and development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Obesity is associated with increased risk of many malignancies, and hyperinsulinemia has been proposed to be a link between obesity and cancer development. The incidence of thyroid cancer is also increasing, making this cancer the most common endocrine malignancy. There is some evidence of associations between obesity, insulin resistance and/or diabetes with thyroid proliferative disorders, including thyroid cancer. However, the etiology of such an association has not been fully elucidated. The goal of the present work is to review the current knowledge on crosstalk between thyroid and glucose metabolic pathways and the effects of obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and anti-hyperglycemic medications on the risk of thyroid cancer development.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has infected approximately fifty percent of humans for a long period of time. However, improvements in the public health environment have led to a decreased chance of H. pylori infection. However, a high infection rate is noted in populations with a high incidence rate of gastric cancer (GC). The worldwide fraction of GC attributable to H. pylori is greater than 85%, and a high H. pylori prevalence is noted in gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma patients. These results indicate that the majority of GC cases can be prevented if H. pylori infection is eliminated. Because H. pylori exhibits oral-oral or fecal-oral transmission, the relationship between this microorganism and other digestive tract malignant diseases has also attracted attention. This review article provides an overview of H. pylori and the condition of the whole gastrointestinal tract environment to further understand the correlation between the pathogen and the host, thus allowing improved realization of disease presentation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer defined as cancer of the colon or rectum, is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and the second in women, and, according to the World Health Organization database GLOBOCAN, it accounts for nearly 1.4 million new cases annually worldwide. The occurrence of colorectal cancer is associated with nonmodifiable risk factors, including age and hereditary factors, as well as with modifiable environmental and lifestyle factors. METHODS The study included 800 patients, 400 diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 400 within the control group, who gave their written informed consent to participate in the study. Patients with cancer other than colorectal cancer were randomly selected for control group I, and patients with no cancer diagnosis were selected for control group II. The method used was a case-control study - an observational and analytical study with a control group, conducted among patients of the Clinical Oncology Centre and the Provincial Hospital in the years 2019-2020. The study comparing the exposure was carried out in a group of people who developed the endpoint, that is colorectal cancer, with the exposure in a well-matched group of controls who did not reach the endpoint. Assessment of activity and BMI was used according to WHO recommendations, as well as the expert system. The data were tested for the distribution and the homogeneity of variance was validated before applying the parameter tests. Comparison of quantitative variables between groups was performed using ANOVA. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 64.53 ± 8.86 years, of the control group I - 59.64 ± 9.33 and the control group II - 57.5 (7.83). There was a strong positive association between the incidence of ulcerative colitis and the risk of colorectal cancer (P < .01). Among obese subjects, the risk of developing colorectal cancer was 1.27 (95% CI, 1.06-1.53) compared with nonobese subjects. A strong positive relationship was found between low physical activity converted to metabolic equivalent of MET effort per week and the risk of colorectal cancer (P < .001). The relative risk for current smokers was 2.17 (95% CI 1.79-2.66). There was an association between higher fat consumption and higher red meat consumption and the risk of developing colorectal cancer (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS Obesity, low physical activity, active and passive smoking and high salt and red meat consumption have been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. These findings provide further evidence of the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract
Objective Diabetes is recognized as an underlying disease of constipation. However, the prevalence of constipation varies according to the diagnostic criteria applied. We investigated the prevalence of constipation based on the new guideline for constipation in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes and examined the relationship with the clinical background, including diabetic vascular complications. Methods Questionnaire surveys including items concerning the diagnosis and treatment status of constipation were administered to 410 patients with type 2 diabetes. Results Although 29% of the patients considered that they had experienced constipation (self-judged), only 14% had consulted a physician about constipation. The prevalence of chronic constipation based on the guideline was 26%. After including laxative users, constipation was finally found in 36%. Despite the use of laxatives (n=81), 51% of the patients were still diagnosed with chronic constipation. Patients with constipation (chronic constipation or laxative use) were significantly older and had a longer duration of diabetes than those without constipation. The body mass index (BMI) of patients with constipation (24.9±3.8 kg/m2) was significantly lower than that of those without constipation (26.3±4.6 kg/m2). Diabetic neuropathy (49% vs. 32%) and coronary heart disease (CHD) (27% vs. 13%) were significantly more frequent in the patients with constipation than in those without constipation. A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that gender, BMI, diabetic neuropathy, insulin use, and CHD were significantly associated with constipation. Conclusion An accurate diagnosis of constipation is desirable in patients with type 2 diabetes because constipation is independently associated with CHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Aims: To explore the association between egg consumption and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the adult population. METHODS The PubMed, Web of Science and Embase electronic databases were searched up to December 2021 for observational studies on the association between egg consumption and MetS in the adult population. The pooled relative risk (RR) of MetS for the highest versus lowest category of egg consumption, and the standard mean difference (SMD) of egg consumption for MetS versus control subjects were calculated. Egg consumption was assessed by a food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and the 24-hour recall method. The criteria for MetS were National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III), International Diabetes Federation (IDF), Joint Interim Statement (JIS) and American Heart Association (AHA). RESULTS A total of 19 articles with 20 observational studies (331667 participants) were included in this meta-analysis. The overall multivariable adjusted RR (18 studies included) demonstrated that higher egg consumption was associated with a lower probability of having MetS (RR=0.92, 95%CI: 0.88 to 0.96; P<0.001). Subgroup analysis confirmed these findings in cross-sectional studies (RR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.88 to 0.95; P<0.001), studies that used the NCEP ATP III criteria (RR=0.94, 95% CI: 0.89 to 0.99; P=0.02), Asia (RR=0.92, 95% CI: 0.86 to 0.99; P=0.02), studies with samples sizes >5000 (RR=0.92, 95% CI: 0.86 to 0.96; P<0.001), studies that adjusted body mass index (BMI) (RR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.86 to 0.95; P<0.001) and energy intake (RR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.83 to 0.94; P<0.001) and high-quality studies (RR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.88 to 0.95; P<0.001). Moreover, the overall combined SMD (5 studies included) showed that the level of egg consumption in subjects with MetS was also lower than that in control subjects. (SMD=-0.22, 95% CI: -0.25 to -0.20; P<0.001). Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that this finding only existed in studies with samples sizes >5000 (SMD=-0.21, 95% CI: -0.29 to -0.12; P<0.001) and high-quality studies (SMD=-0.23, 95% CI: -0.26 to -0.20; P<0.001). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that higher egg consumption is associated with a lower probability of having MetS in the adult population. However, due to the limited evidence, more global well-designed prospective cohort studies are still needed.

Abstract
Objective: The associations of dietary and circulating vitamin E level with metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains conflicting. This meta-analysis of observational study was therefore employed to investigate the issue above. Methods: The PubMed, Web of Science and Embase database were searched up to April 2021. The observational studies on the associations of dietary and circulating vitamin E level with MetS were specified. The pooled relative risk (RR) of MetS for the highest vs. lowest dietary and circulating vitamin E level, and the standard mean difference (SMD) of dietary and circulating vitamin E level for MetS vs. control subjects, were calculated. Results: A total of 25 observational studies with 51,276 participants, were included in this meta-analysis. The overall multi-variable adjusted RR demonstrated that the dietary vitamin E level was inversely associated with MetS (RR = 0.92, 95%CI: 0.85–1.00; P = 0.044). In addition, the dietary vitamin E level in MetS was also lower than that in control subjects according to the overall combined SMD (SMD = −0.08, 95%CI: −0.14 to −0.02; P = 0.024). On the other hand, the overall multi-variable adjusted RR showed no significant relationship between the circulating vitamin E level and MetS (RR = 1.46, 95%CI: 0.85–2.48; P = 0.17). However, the circulating vitamin E level in MetS was lower than that in control subjects according to the overall combined SMD (SMD = −0.58, 95%CI: −1.04 to −0.13; P = 0.013). Conclusions: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that the dietary vitamin E level is inversely associated with MetS. On the other hand, current evidence is still insufficient to conclude a relationship between the circulating vitamin E level and MetS. More well-designed prospective cohort studies are needed to address the issues further.

[PMID: 34993141 PMCID: PMC8724044 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.780906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/25/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background We performed this study to explore the prognostic value of the pretreatment aspartate transaminase to alanine transaminase (De Ritis) ratio in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched to identify all studies. The hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were extracted to evaluate their correlation. Results A total of 6,528 patients from 11 studies were included in the pooled analysis. Patients with a higher pretreatment De Ritis ratio had worse OS (HR = 1.41, p < 0.001) and CSS (HR = 1.59, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis according to ethnicity, disease stage, cutoff value, and sample size revealed that the De Ritis ratio had a significant prognostic value for OS and CSS in all subgroups. Conclusions The present study suggests that an elevated pretreatment De Ritis ratio is significantly correlated with worse survival in patients with RCC. The pretreatment De Ritis ratio may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in patients with RCC, but further studies are warranted to support these results.

A Novel Diagnostic Biomarker, PZP, for Detecting Colorectal Cancer in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients Identified by Serum-Based Mass Spectrometry. Front Mol Biosci 2021; 8:736272. [PMID: 34917649 PMCID: PMC8670180 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2021.736272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Growing evidence has confirmed that populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increasing risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Thus, convenient and effective screening strategies for CRC should be developed for the T2DM population to increase the detection rate of CRC. Methods: Twenty serum samples extracted from five healthy participants, five T2DM patients, five CRC patients and five T2DM patients with CRC (T2DM + CRC) were submitted to data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) analysis to discover unique differentially altered proteins (DAPs) for CRC in patients with T2DM. Then, the diagnostic value of pregnancy zone protein (PZP) was validated by ELISA analysis in the validated cohort. Results: Based on DIA-MS analysis, we found eight unique proteins specific to T2DM patients with CRC. Among these proteins, four proteins showed different expression between the T2DM + CRC and T2DM groups, and PZP exhibited the largest difference. Next, the diagnostic value of serum PZP was validated by ELISA analysis with an AUC of 0.713. Moreover, the combination of PZP, CA199 and CEA exhibited encouraging diagnostic value, and the AUC reached 0.916. Conclusion: Overall, our current research implied that PZP could be regarded as a newfound serum biomarker for CRC medical diagnosis in T2DM patients.

Helicobacter pylori infection and increased diabetes prevalence were the risks of colorectal adenoma for adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA-compliant article). Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e28156.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection and hyperglycemia are associated with an increased risk of colorectal neoplasm, and may have a synergistic effect in combination. However, these 2 factors that affect colorectal neoplasm remain controversial. We aimed to carry out a meta-analysis to evaluate the study population diabetes prevalence rate and H pylori infection rate with colorectal adenoma risk for adults. METHODS We conducted systemic research through English databases for medical reports. We also recorded the diabetes prevalence and H pylori infection prevalence in each study. We classified these studies into 4 subgroups as their background population diabetes prevalence <6% (Group 1); between 6% and 8% (Group 2); between 8% and 10% (Group 3), and more than 10% (Group 4). The random-effects model had used to calculate pooled prevalence estimates with 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Twenty-seven studies were finally eligible for meta-analysis. The random-effects model of the meta-analysis was chosen, showing pooled odds ratio (OR) equal to 1.51 (95% CI 1.39-1.63). The subgroup meta-analyses showed in Group 1 the H pylori infection associated colorectal adenoma risk OR was 1.24 (95% CI 0.86-1.78). As the diabetes rate exceed 6%, the H pylori infection became the more significant increased risk of colorectal adenoma (Group 2: OR 2.16 (95% CI 1.61-2.91); Group 3: OR 1.40 (95% CI 1.24-1.57); and Group 4: OR 1.52 (95% CI 1.46-1.57)). CONCLUSIONS The results of this meta-analysis showed elevated diabetes prevalence combined H pylori infection increasing the risks of colorectal adenoma in the adult population.
