In the field of biliary surgery, although advanced ICC still has a poor prognosis, curable surgical intervention is possible for specific findings, such as BTT and HCC with BTT.
Clínica Bienestar is a comprehensive HIV primary care clinic for Spanish-speaking Latinx with opioids use disorders (OUD). GSK429286A This article describes the barriers and trajectories to HIV viral suppression for Puerto Ricans with a transnational profile and dual diagnoses (HIV and OUD), and the strategies applied to increase retention in care.

Case study methodology was used to select two patient life histories that illustrate the most common pathways to success in reducing HIV viral load to undetectable and achieving OUD long-term recovery.

Patients' major challenges included (1) Persistent migrating while seeking substance use treatment services with limited or no support from their sending and hosting communities; (2) Intersectional stigmas; (3) Untreated trauma; (4) Language and cultural barriers. Clínica Bienestar's service model included ten strategies to retain patients in care (e.g., Case management to identify cases with high social isolation), six emerged as central to addressing transnational challenges.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive human malignancies. Cell-cycle-related and expression-elevated protein in tumor (CREPT) plays an important role in the phosphorylation of RNA Pol II, and has been implicated in the development of several types of cancer. As yet, however, there have been no reports on its role in PDAC. Here, we aimed to explore the value of CREPT as a prognostic biomarker in PDAC.

CREPT expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on a tissue microarray containing samples from 375 PDAC patients. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were performed to explore the independent prognostic value of CREPT expression for the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of PDAC patients. A Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay was used to determine the growth rates and gemcitabine sensitivities of PDAC cells, while a Transwell assay was used to determine the migration and invasion abilities of PDAC cells. Subcutaneous xenografts were used to explore the effect of CREPT expression on tumor growth in vivo.

We found that CREPT is highly expressed in tumor tissues and may serve as an independent prognostic biomarker for DFS and OS of PDAC patients. In vitro assays revealed that CREPT expression promotes the proliferation, migration, invasion and gemcitabine resistance of PDAC cells, and in vivo assays showed that CREPT expression knockdown led to inhibition of PDAC tumor growth.

We conclude that high CREPT expression enhances the proliferation, migration, invasion and gemcitabine resistance of PDAC cells. In addition, we conclude that CREPT may serve as an independent prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for PDAC patients.

Metformin, a first-line therapeutic for type 2 diabetes, has been studied for its potential use in cancer treatment following a number of epidemiological studies that have demonstrated reduced cancer incidence and mortality rates among patients treated with the drug. As yet, however, there remains significant uncertainty about the molecular mechanisms by which metformin exerts its anti-cancer effects. Herein, we summarize the evidence surrounding the anti-lung cancer effects of metformin.

Specifically, we explore protein targets of metformin, including AMPK, PP2A, IRF-1/YAP and HGF and we outline the proposed mechanisms of action for metformin in lung cancer, with particular attention given to apoptosis and autophagy. We also closely examine the synergistic activity of metformin with existing cancer treatment regimens, such as TKI's, platinum-based agents and immune therapeutics. In addition to considering preclinical and clinical studies, we also dissect and contextualize the limitations and inconsistencies of the current literature, especially those of epidemiological studies. Finally, we offer a potential trajectory for future research in this rapidly evolving area of basic and clinical oncology.

Surgical treatments for renal cell carcinoma reduces kidney volume to some degree and may derive postsurgical chronic kidney disease. We made a new marker for postoperative renal function using CT volumetry. To determine the impact of various parameters including this marker, we observed pre- and postsurgical renal function of experienced cases.

From 2004 to 2014, we underwent total or partial nephrectomy for 181 patients with renal carcinoma in a single institution. Of the total, 138 cases with presurgical CT volumetry were included in this study. We evaluated parameters for assessments of peri- and postoperative renal function including age, gender, serum creatinine, eGFR, performed surgery, pathology, estimated residual kidney volume and associated disease. Presence or absence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) were also evaluated before, immediately after and 5years after surgery.

Multiple logistic regression analysis identified AKI, preoperative eGFR and estimated residual kidney volume as significant prognostic factors for the postoperative CKD.
