Can Serum Histone H4 Level Be a Biomarker in Ulcerative Colitis?
CONCLUSION: Decreased serum histone H4 values may be used as an auxiliary marker in the progression and diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. Further studies are needed to delineate this relationship between clinical and laboratory traits of ulcerative colitis and serum histone H4.PMID:38454272 | PMC:PMC10837591 | DOI:10.5152/tjg.2024.22385 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology)

Endoscopic Characteristics of Early Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinomas and Assessment for Invasion Depth: A Case Series Study
CONCLUSION: The posterior side and lesser curvature of the GEJ are the high-incidence sites of GEJ adenocarcinoma. Both forward and backward views during endoscopy should be combined to detect the lesion. Endoscopic characteristics such as Is or IIc morphology, larger size, red color with subsquamous extension, and disordered microsurface with local fusion may indicate a higher pathological grade and deeper invasion.PMID:38454273 | PMC:PMC10837581 | DOI:10.5152/tjg.2024.23312 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology)

Results of Nucleos(t)ide Analog Treatment Discontinuation in Hepatitis B e-Antigen-Negative Chronic Hepatitis B: NUCSTOP Study
CONCLUSION: Despite receiving NAs suppression therapy for a long time, HBsAg loss occurs rarely. Although it was not life-threatening, most patients experienced relapses and treatment should be restarted. In our study, whether it is a coincidence that all patients with HBsAg loss are patients in whom NAs are used sequentially due to lamivudine resistance is an issue that needs to be further investigated.PMID:38454274 | PMC:PMC10837598 | DOI:10.5152/tjg.2024.23463 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology)

Gene Expression Array Analyses Predict Proto-Oncogene Expression During Perineural Invasion in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
CONCLUSION: This analysis showed that 9 core genes including JUP, CALM1, NES, EPHA2, ARF1, ORM2, TERT, IL18, and CXCL3, as well as NES/VEGF signaling pathway, have a relationship with the development process of perineural invasion in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Cox analysis and overall survival analysis suggested differentiation as an independent prognostic factor and key roles for these 9 hub genes in perineural invasion prognosis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.PMID:38454277 | PMC:PMC10837604 | DOI:10.5152/tjg.2024.21430 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology)
