Background and purpose:Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) has a signiifcant relation with gastric cancer. Many researches have confirmed that rs760805 AA can increase the risk of gastric cancer. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between the rs760805 polymorphism of the RUNX3 gene and gastric cancer. Methods: The rs760805 genotypes were determined by PCR-based DNA sequence measuring analysis and direct DNA sequencing in 310 incident cases with gastric cancer and 327 controls recruited in Shandong. Results:The frequency of TT genotype was 15.16%in gastric cancer patients and 20.49%in normal controls, and the corresponding percentages for AT and AA genotypes were 48.39%and 36.45%, and 52.60%and 26.91%, respectively. Compared to TT genotype, AT genotypes were associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (OR=1.24, 95%CI`:0.81-1.92;OR=1.83, 95%CI:1.15-2.92). Conclusion:The rs760805 polymorphism of the RUNX3 gene is associated with increased susceptibility to gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of honey in preoperative bowel preparation for colonoscopy in hospitalized patients.Methods 87 patients from April 2022 to July 2022 and underwent preoperative bowel preparation for colonoscopy were selected as the research subjects.Convenience sampling was used to divide them into a control group(n=43)and an observation group(n=44).The control group received a conventional regimen of taking compound polyethylene glycol(PEG)electrolyte powder(Heshuang),while the observation group added 20 mL of honey to the Heshuang solution.Compare the cleanliness of intestine,and palatability of the taste,the incidence of adverse reactions,satisfaction of patients,and the rate of willingness for prepeat bowel preparation between the two groups.Results The intestinal cleanliness of the two groups of patients was equivalent,the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The incidence and severity of nausea,abdominal bloating,hypoglycemia,and anal irritation in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The observation group had better taste,patients satisfaction,and the willingness for prepeat bowel preparation compared to the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Honey can improve the taste of Heshuang,reduce the severity of oral adverse reactions,increase patient satisfaction,and increase the rate of willingness for prepeat bowel preparation.
