AIM OF THE STUDY The FJ 194940.1 gene is located on chromosome 1 and consists of 6 exons and 5 introns. The gene undergoes alternative splicing and its isoforms appear during cancer development. Evidence suggests that expression of FJ 194940.1 splice variants relate to colorectal cancer progression. This paper discusses the quantitative analysis of the exon V expression level of FJ 194940.1 in ...

Colorectal masses can be non-neoplasm, benign neoplasm and malignant neoplasm. Diagnosis of colorectal mass done by biopsy or surgery then followed histopathological examination. The aim this study was to described the histopathology feature in Anatomic Pathology Laboratory Arifin Achmad Regional Hospital Riau Province January 2015 - December 2019. This found 304 cases consisted men (55,6%) wom...

Gastrocolonic malignant fistulas can occur, although rarely, complicating gastric or colonic neoplasms. En bloc resection of the fistulous tract and involved segments is the first-line treatment whenever possible, with endoscopic treatment an alternative. Endoscopic closure has been described using covered stents [1, 2], over-the-scope clips [3], and atrial septal defect occlusion devices [4]. ...

BACKGROUND The use of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging techniques has gained great interest for early detection of cancer because water and other intrinsic biomolecules display negligible absorption or autofluorescence in this region. Novel fluorescent nanoparticles with potential to improve neoplasm detection sensitivity may prove to be a valuable tool in early detection of colon tumor...

The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) Technology Committee provides reviews of existing, new, or emerging endoscopic technologies that have an impact on the practice of GI endoscopy. Evidence-based methodology is used, with a MEDLINE literature search to identify pertinent clinical studies on the topic, and a MAUDE (Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiol...

INTRODUCTION The Situs viscerum inversus associated with anomalies of intestinal rotation and fixation is an extremely rare condition. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of colon cancer associated with intestinal malrotation and mesenterium ileocolicum commune. CASE PRESENTATION A 34-year-old man with a 2-month history of diarrhea associated with abdominal pain and weight los...

Opioid growth factor (OGF) is an endogenous opioid peptide ([Met(5)]-enkephalin) that interacts with the OGF receptor (OGFr). OGF serves as a constitutively expressed and tonically active negative growth factor in neoplasia, and the OGF-OGFr axis contributes to the maintenance of an equilibrium in cell replication by targeting cyclin-dependent inhibitory kinase pathways. In a previous study, OG...

A solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPT) is alternatively called a 'Frantz tumor.' It was first named after its discoverer in year 1959. This has been previously designated as papillary epithelial neoplasm, low-grade and neoplasm pancreas. rare pancreatic neoplasm. typically affects young people female predilection. Its histogenesis rather debatable. Acinar, endocrine, ductal...

Appendiceal goblet cell adenocarcinomas (GCA) are rare entities with a distinctive composition of goblet, paneth and neuroendocrine cells. Cases combined or collision GCAs other appendiceal tumours exist in the literature, only few publications describing GCA low-grade mucinous neoplasm (LAMN). A 73-year-old female underwent right hemicolectomy following an orifice polypectomy showing adenocarc...
