| 2 | New avenues for the treatment of immunotherapy-resistant pancreatic cancer显示文摘Pancreatic cancer(PC)is characterized by its extremely aggressive nature and ranks 14th in the number of new cancer cases worldwide.However,due to its complexity,it ranks 7th in the list of the most lethal cancers worldwide.The pathogenesis of PC involves several complex processes,including familial genetic factors associated with risk factors such as obesity,diabetes mellitus,chronic pancreatitis,and smoking.Mutations in genes such as KRAS,TP53,and SMAD4 are linked to the appearance of malignant cells that generate pancreatic lesions and,consequently,cancer.In this context,some therapies are used for PC,one of which is immunotherapy,which is extremely promising in various other types of cancer but has shown little response in the treatment of PC due to various resistance mechanisms that contribute to a drop in immunotherapy efficiency.It is therefore clear that the tumor microenvironment(TME)has a huge impact on the resistance process,since cellular and non-cellular elements create an immunosuppressive environment,characterized by a dense desmoplastic stroma with cancerassociated fibroblasts,pancreatic stellate cells,extracellular matrix,and immunosuppressive cells.Linked to this are genetic mutations in TP53 and immunosuppressive factors that act on T cells,resulting in a shortage of CD8+T cells and limited expression of activation markers such as interferon-gamma.In this way,finding new strategies that make it possible to manipulate resistance mechanisms is necessary.Thus,techniques such as the use of TME modulators that block receptors and stromal molecules that generate resistance,the use of genetic manipulation in specific regions,such as microRNAs,the modulation of extrinsic and intrinsic factors associated with T cells,and,above all,therapeutic models that combine these modulation techniques constitute the promising future of PC therapy.Thus,this study aims to elucidate the main mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapy in PC and new ways of manipulating this process,resulting in a more efficient therapy for cancer patients and,consequently,a reduction in the lethality of this aggressive cancer. | Luis Guilherme de Oliveira Silva Fabian Fellipe Bueno Lemos Marcel Silva Luz Samuel Luca Rocha Pinheiro Mariana dos Santos Calmon Gabriel Lima Correa Santos Gabriel Reis Rocha Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2024 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2024,16,4: | 0 |
| 3 | Urea breath test for Helicobacter pylori infection in adult dyspeptic patients: A meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy显示文摘BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection has been well-established as a significant risk factor for several gastrointestinal disorders.The urea breath test(UBT)has emerged as a leading non-invasive method for detecting H.pylori.Despite numerous studies confirming its substantial accuracy,the reliability of UBT results is often compromised by inherent limitations.These findings underscore the need for a rigorous statistical synthesis to clarify and reconcile the diagnostic accuracy of the UBT for the diagnosis of H.pylori infection.AIM To determine and compare the diagnostic accuracy of 13C-UBT and 14C-UBT for H.pylori infection in adult patients with dyspepsia.METHODS We conducted an independent search of the PubMed/MEDLINE,EMBASE,and Cochrane Central databases until April 2022.Our search included diagnostic accuracy studies that evaluated at least one of the index tests(^(13)C-UBT or ^(14)C-UBT)against a reference standard.We used the QUADAS-2 tool to assess the methodo-logical quality of the studies.We utilized the bivariate random-effects model to calculate sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative test likelihood ratios(LR+and LR-),as well as the diagnostic odds ratio(DOR),and their 95%confidence intervals.We conducted subgroup analyses based on urea dosing,time after urea administration,and assessment technique.To investigate a possible threshold effect,we conducted Spearman correlation analysis,and we generated summary receiver operating characteristic(SROC)curves to assess heterogeneity.Finally,we visually inspected a funnel plot and used Egger’s test to evaluate publication bias.endorsing both as reliable diagnostic tools in clinical practice.CONCLUSION In summary,our study has demonstrated that ^(13)C-UBT has been found to outperform the ^(14)C-UBT,making it the preferred diagnostic approach.Additionally,our results emphasize the significance of carefully considering urea dosage,assessment timing,and measurement techniques for both tests to enhance diagnostic precision.Nevertheless,it is crucial for researchers and clinicians to evaluate the strengths and limitations of our findings before implementing them in practice. | Fabian Fellipe Bueno Lemos Caroline Tianeze de Castro Marcel Silva Luz Gabriel Reis Rocha Gabriel Lima Correa Santos Luís Guilherme de Oliveira Silva Mariana Santos Calmon Cláudio Lima Souza Ana Carla Zarpelon-Schutz Kádima Nayara Teixeira Dulciene Maria de Magalhães Queiroz Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2024 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2024,30,6: | 0 |
| 4 | Transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 via fecal-oral:Current knowledge显示文摘The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)has resulted in more than 93 million cases and 2 million deaths in the world.SARS-CoV-2 respiratory tract infection and its main clinical manifestations such as cough and shortness of breath are well known to the scientific community.However,a growing number of studies have reported SARS-CoV-2-related gastrointestinal involvement based on clinical manifestations,such as diarrhea,nausea,vomiting,and abdominal pain as well as on the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with coronavirus disease 2019.Furthermore,current evidence suggests SARS-CoV-2 transmission via the fecal-oral route and aerosol dissemination.Moreover,studies have shown a high risk of contamination through hospital surfaces and personal fomites.Indeed,viable SARS-CoV-2 specimens can be obtained from aerosols,which raises the possibility of transmission through aerosolized viral particles from feces.Therefore,the infection by SARS-CoV-2 via fecal-oral route or aerosolized particles should beconsidered.In addition,a possible viral spread to sources of drinking water,sewage,and rivers as well as the possible risk of viral transmission in shared toilets become a major public health concern,especially in the least developed countries.Since authors have emphasized the presence of viral RNA and even viable SARS-CoV-2 in human feces,studies on the possible fecal-oral coronavirus disease 2019 transmission become essential to understand better the dynamics of its transmission and,then,to reinforce preventive measures against this infection,leading to a more satisfactory control of the incidence of the infection. | Filipe Antônio França da Silva Breno Bittencourt de Brito Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Hanna Santos Marques Ronaldo Teixeira da Silva Júnior Lorena Sousa de Carvalho Samuel de Sousa Cruz Gabriel Reis Rocha Gabriel Lima Correa Santos Kathlen Coutinho de Souza Rebeca Gabrielle Almeida Maciel Daiana Silva Lopes Natália Oliveira e Silva Márcio Vasconcelos Oliveira Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2021 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2021,9,28: | 0 |
