Francisella tularensis Peritonitis in Stomach Cancer Patient Xiang Y. Han,* Linus X. Ho,* and Amar Safdar* Tularemia with peritonitis developed in a 50-year-old man soon after diagnosis of stomach cancer with metasta- sis. The ascites grew Francisella tularensis subsp. holarc- tica , which was identified by sequencing analysis of the 16S rDNA. The infection resolved with antimicrobial treat- ment. Antibodies detected 4 weeks after onset disap- peared after chemotherapy-associated lymphopenia. Case Study A 50-year-old man arrived at the emergency depart- ment in September 2003 with a 2-day history of high fever (temperature up to 40.8°C), rigors, dry cough, nausea, vomiting, lower abdominal pain, and melena. The patient had recently been diagnosed with signet-ring–cell carcino- ma of the stomach with evidence of metastasis to the lung and peritoneum ...

Diet and Stomach Cancer Risk in Warsaw, Poland Jolanta Lissowska, Mitchell H. Gail, David Pee, Frank D. Groves, Leslie H. Sobin, Anna Nasierowska-Guttmejer, Elzbieta Sygnowska, Witold Zatonski, William J. Blot, and Wong-Ho Chow Abstract: Some of the world’s highest rates of stomach can- cer are found in Poland. Reasons for the increased incidence are not known, but high intake of sausages and other pre- served foods and low intake of fresh fruits and vegetables may be involved. A case-control study comprising residents newly diagnosed with stomach cancer during 1994–96 and controls randomly selected from the general population was conducted in Warsaw, Poland. Standardized interviews were conducted to ascertain usual consumption of 118 common foods and beverages and other exposures. Using data from direct interviews with 274 cases and 463 controls, odds ra- ...

S tomach cancer is the seventh lead- ing cancer -related cause of death for men and the tenth for women. Early detection of stomach cancer is important, as this cancer is difficult to cure unless found in an early stage. Unfortunately, stomach cancer is usu- ally advanced when diagnosed, and there are no routine screening tests for this cancer .

Cancer Research and Treatment 2004;36(2):132-139 132 INTRODUCTION Bile acids are polar derivatives of cholesterol essential for the absorption of dietary lipids, and regulate the transcription of genes that control cholesterol homeostasis. Depending on the nature of their chemical structure, different bile acids exhibit distinct biological effects (1). After synthesis by the liver, and their excretion into the bile canaliculus and digestive tract, the primary bile acids, cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), are metabolized by enteric bacteria to produce secon- dary bile acids, primarily deoxycholic acid (DCA), ursodeoxy- cholic acid (UDCA) and lithocholic acid (LCA). Bile acids are conjugated to glycine or taurine when the glycine conjugates predominate. Conjugation of bile acids to glycine and taurine is one mechanism by which an organism can decrease the hydrophobicity ...

INTRODUCTION n most countries cancer incidence and mortality rates are constantly increasing, and according to available predic- tions this tendency will persist in the nearest future. At the Congress of the International Union Against Cancer in Rio de Janeiro in 1998, a progressive increase in the number of incident cancer cases in the world was noted: 6 million cancer cases in 1975, 7.6 million in 1985, 8.1 million in 1990, and the expected rate in 2010 is 13 million incident cancer cases. The fact that this increase is taking place on the background of doubtless achieve- ments of modern oncology in diagnostics and treatment of tumors provides reason enough to primary and secondary cancer pre- vention to be the main means of changing this tendency. Even though the etiology and pathogenesis of malignant neo- plasms remain unclear, the available scientific information about multiple carcinogenic ...

Abstract. CDX2, a transcriptional factor expressed in the intestine, is implicated in the development and maintenance of the intestinal mucosa. Recent studies have demonstrated that CDX2 is expressed in the intestinal metaplasia of the stomach and intestinal-type gastric cancer , while it is not expressed in the normal gastric mucosa. To investigate the role of CDX2 in gastric cancer , we determined CDX2 expression and cell proliferation rate in various types of gastric cancer tissues by immunostaining. Surgically dissected gastric cancer tissues were collected from 40 patients. Consistent with previous reports, CDX2 was expressed in most gastric mucosa samples with intestinal metaplasia (89%, 16/18), although it was not found in the adjacent normal mucosa. CDX2 expression was also detected in 64% (18/28) of intestinal- type gastric cancer cases, whereas it was not observed in the diffuse-type ...

20 4 Cancer of the stomach Summary Relative survival after a diagnosis of cancer of the stomach was poor when compared with other cancer sites. For the period 1992–1997, relative survival one year after diagnosis of cancer of the stomach was 46.4% for males and 47.0% for females. The five-year relative survival proportion for males was 22.6% and for females was 24.8% (Table 4.1). Survival ten years after diagnosis was 20.1% for males and 21.4% for females in 1987–1991, the most recent period for which ten-year relative survival data are available (Tables 4.2 and 4.3). Between the diagnosis periods 1982–1986, 1987–1991 and 1992–1997, stomach cancer relative survival increased. This increase was significant between 1982–1986 and 1992–1997 (Figure 4.1). Also, there was a significant increase in stomach cancer relative survival for males between the diagnosis periods 1982–1986 and ...
