Introduction: Alteration of terminal sugars of Glycoconjugates is one of the important aspects of neoplasia. The aim of the present study was to identify GalNac and GlcNac containing glycoconjugates in different grades of neoplastic cells in adenocarcinoma of colon.  Methods: Histological sections prepared from paraffin blocks belong to 30 patient of colon adenocarcinoma obtained from Khatam...

Malakoplakia is a rare granulomatous disease of the genitourinary system. Gastrointestinal tract is the second most common site of involvement. It usually mimics a malignancy but its association with adenocarcinoma has been rarely reported. A 59-year-old male patient with the history of weight loss and rectal bleeding for two months prior to administration was referred ...

This study was conducted to confirm the hypothesis that intestinal microflora are required for the development of adenocarcinoma in the colon of the TCRbeta and p53 double-knockout (TCRbeta-/- p53-/-) mouse. Germ-free TCRbeta-/- p53-/- mice were produced. At 7 weeks of age, the animals were divided into two groups (n = 10/group), and one of these groups was conventionalized. Animals of both gro...

the chloroform soluble fractions of ethanolic extracts of five inula belonging to the compositae family were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against five different cell lines including caco2 (human colon adenocarcinoma), mcf7 (human breast adenocarcinoma), hepg2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma), vero (green african monkey kidney) and wehi164 (balb c mouse fibrosarcoma). cytotoxicity was assess...

Adenocarcinoma as the primary cause of bowel intussusception is uncommon. We describe case a 86-year-old patient admitted for ileocecal due to presence adenocarcinoma, located in valve and right colon. The etiologies intussusception, its diagnosis, conservative or surgical treatments are discussed, with attention placed on indications reduction invagination prior resection.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical significance of abnormal sugar-chain glycoprotein tumor abnormal protein (TAP) in the screening of common digestive tract pre-cancer colon adenocarcinoma lesions. A total of 50 colitis patients, 50 colon polyp patients and 50 colon adenocarcinoma patients admitted to our hospital from March, 2012 to May, 2014 were included. Fresh bloo...

Nine halogenated monoterpenes isolated from the red alga Plocamium cartilagineum have been evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on the tumor cell lines CT26 (murine colon adenocarcinoma), SW480 (human colon adenocarcinoma), HeLa (human cervical adenocarcinoma) and SkMel28 (human malignant melanoma) with several multidrug resistance mechanisms and the mammalian non-tumor cell line CHO (Chinese ...

The patient was a 70-year-old male whose chief complaints were obstructive jaundice and weight loss. Abdominal imaging studies showed a 2.5 cm sized mass at the distal common bile duct, which was suggestive of bile duct cancer. Eccentric enhancing wall thickening in the transverse colon was also shown, suggesting concomitant colon cancer. A colonoscopy revealed a lumen-encircling ulcerofungatin...

BACKGROUND Colon adenocarcinoma mostly happens at the junction of the rectum and is a common gastrointestinal malignancy. Accumulated evidence has indicated that colon adenocarcinoma develops by genetic alterations and is a complicated disease. The aim of this study was to screen differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and genes with diagnostic and prognostic potentials in colon adenocarcinoma. ...
