Gastric cancer has high incidence and mortality rate. Chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for gastric cancer and has achieved considerable success. However, due to genetic variations and tumor heterogeneity, the effectiveness of chemothrapy drugs varies among different patients. Therefore, accurate assessment of patient’s sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs is crucial for personalized treatment. Gastric cancer organoids serve as effective tools for predicting patient’s sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs. This review summarizes the applications and related research progress of gastric cancer organoids in determining chemotherapy drug sensitivity, discusses the strengths and limitations of organoid models, and proposes outlooks for future research directions, hoping that organoids can provide more effective personalized treatment options and a greater range of drug choices for gastric cancer treatment.

Acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester (AD-1) is a synthetic peptide composed of acetic acid and cetyl alcohol with arginine and tyrosine, which has certain anti-inflammatory and skin barrier enhancement effects, has been used in cosmetics for sensitive skin.Meanwhile, the ingredient has also been used in anti-aging cosmetics, but there is a lack of published scientific evidence on anti- senescence aspect.In this study, we investigated the related effects of AD-1 by evaluating its in vitro antioxidant and antiglycation efficacies.Furthermore, we established a photoaging model on primary rat dermal fibroblasts by repeated exposures to UVA irradiation.MTT assay was used to detect the effects of AD-1 on the cell viability.RT-qPCR was used to determine the effects of AD-1 on the mRNA levels of senescence-related p21, p53, MMPs, IL6, Col1, Col3 and autophagy-related p62, ATG5, ATG7.Western blot was used to detect the effects of AD-1 on the protein levels of p16, p21, p53, Col1, LC3B and p62.SA-β-gal was performed to indicate senescence level of the cell.MDC was performed to indicate autophagy level.Intracellular reactive oxygen species were monitored by fluorescent probes DCFH-DA.The results showed that AD-1 could reduce UVA-induced the cell damage and regulate the abnormal expression of mRNA levels. It alleviated the abnormal protein levels of p16, p21, p53, Col1, LC3B and p62 induced by UVA. These results suggested that AD-1 has not only antioxidant and antiglycation effects but also can activate autophagy to achieve anti-senescence effect.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α ) in patients with acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP) and their clinical significance.Methods One hundred and twelve patients with AOPP (without sudden death ) were as AOPP group.One hundred and twelve healthy controls were as control group.Serum cTnI,hs-CRP and TNF-α levels were determined by ELISA and compared between two groups.The relationship between serum cTnI and hs-CRP,TNF-α was analyzed.Time for atropinization and acetylcholinesterase activity recovery and days of hospitalization were observed.The effectiveness of AOPP patients in different serum cTnI levels was compared.Results Serum cTnI,hs-CRP and TNF- α levels in AOPP group[0.75 (0.26,0.99) μ g/L,11.57(5.13,21.62) mg/L,( 12.36 ±5.22) μ g/L] were higher than those in control group[0.01 (0,0.03) μ g/L,3.62(2.31,6.80) mg/L,(7.33 ±4.31 ) μ g/L] (P ＜ 0.01 ).Serum cTnI levels were positive correlation with serum hs-CRP and TNF- α levels in AOPP patients (r =0.53,0.62,P ＜ 0.01 ).Time for atropinization and acetylcholinesterase activity recovery and days of hospitalization in higher serum cTnI levels patients ( 56 cases ) [(7.31 ± 1.96),( 15.29 ± 3.66 ),(17.23 ± 3.62) d] was longer than that in lower serum cTnI levels patients (56 cases)[(5.32 ± 1.03),( 11.32 ± 2.59),( 13.66 ± 3.03) d](P＜ 0.01).Conclusions Cardiac insults in AOPP patients are related to inflammation.Sudden death-free AOPP patients with higher cTnI levels have less response to treatments.
