Objective:This study analyzes the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of early-stage gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (G-MANEC), which is an exceedingly rare malignancy, in an effort to provide evidence-based insights for clinical decision-making.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted using the clinical data of 36 patients with early-stage G-MANEC who underwent surgical resection at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, from July 2014 to May 2022. The observed indicators included clinicopathological data and follow-up information on recurrence, metastasis, and overall survival (OS).Results:Among the 36 patients there were 21 males and 15 females, aged 32-84 (65±11) years. The most common initial symptoms were abdominal pain and distension (19/36, 52.8%), followed by incidental findings during physical examinations (7/36, 19.4%). Tumors were located in the proximal stomach in 13 cases (36.1%), the middle stomach in 4 cases (11.1%), and the distal stomach in 19 cases (52.8%). Average tumor diameter was (2.48±1.18) cm. Gross morphology included elevated type in 12 cases (33.3%), flat type in 20 cases (55.6%), and depressed type in 4 cases (11.1%). Ulceration was present in 12 cases (33.3%). There were 11 cases (30.6%) at T1a stage and 25 cases (69.4%) at T1b stage. Lymph node metastasis was positive in 10 cases (27.8%), and the differentiation grades of the adenocarcinoma component were Grade I, II, and III in 3 (8.3%), 10 (27.8%), and 23 (63.9%) cases, respectively. Furthermore, the proportion of neuroendocrine carcinoma component was ≥50% in 18 cases (50.0%) and <50% in 18 cases (50.0%). Lymphovascular or perineural invasion was present in 18 cases (50.0%). Lauren classification included mixed type in 10 cases (27.8%), intestinal type in 19 cases (52.8%), and diffuse type in 7 cases (19.4%), and chromogranin A (CgA) positivity was found in 20 cases (55.6%). Additionally, the Ki-67 index positivity was found in 26 cases (72.2%). Total gastrectomy was performed in 12 cases (33.3%) and partial gastrectomy in 24 cases (66.7%), with a median follow-up duration of 77.5 months. The 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 88.89% and 79.67%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that age, gross morphology, ulceration, proportion of neuroendocrine carcinoma component, lymphovascular or perineural invasion, and chromogranin A (CgA) positivity showed statistical significance in their association with OS ( P<0.10). Multivariate Cox regression analysis further identified ulceration (HR=7.74, 95%CI: 1.24-48.30, P=0.028) and CgA positivity (HR=21.76, 95%CI: 1.86-53.97, P=0.014) as independent risk factors of OS. Conclusions:Patients with early-stage G-MANEC are typically asymptomatic, and those with ulceration or positive CgA immunohistochemical staining tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and survival prognosis of young female patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on female patients who underwent radical gastrectomy at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between January 2014 and December 2020, with postoperative pathological confirmation of gastric adenocarcinoma. Those aged ≤45 years were defined as the young group (n＝287), and were matched in a 1∶2 ratio by pTNM stage with female patients aged ≥60 years (elderly group, n＝574). Clinicopathological characteristics were compared between the two groups. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and overall survival (OS) rates were assessed by log-rank test. Prognostic factors in the young group were analyzed using Cox regression models. Results Compared to elderly patients, young female gastric cancer patients exhibited a higher prevalence of tumors in the middle third of the stomach and a lower proportion in the upper third of the stomach. Molecular profiling revealed a higher frequency of HER2-low expression and elevated Ki-67 index. Pathologically, these patients were more frequently diagnosed with poorly differentiated or undifferentiated adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma, while Lauren classification showed a predominance of the diffuse type with a lower proportion of the intestinal type (P＜0.05). Stratified analysis showed no significant difference in OS rates between the two groups for stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ patients; however, among stage Ⅰ patients, the young group had significantly better OS rates than the elderly group (P＝0.037). Multivariate Cox analysis and log-rank test confirmed that pN₃ stage (HR＝3.576, 95%CI 1.652–7.740), stage Ⅲ (HR＝3.581, 95%CI 1.059–12.106), and diffuse type (HR＝2.711, 95%CI 1.316–5.585) were risk factors for poor prognosis in young female gastric cancer patients. Conclusions Young female patients with gastric adenocarcinoma typically present with clinicopathological features such as the diffuse type, poor differentiation, and high proliferation. Moreover, pN₃ stage, stage Ⅲ cancer, and the diffuse type histology are correlated with a poor prognosis in this demographic.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), especially generative AI (GenAI), has already brought, and will continue to bring, revolutionary changes to our daily production and life, as well as create new opportunities and challenges for diagnostic and therapeutic practices in the medical field. Haihe Hospital of Tianjin University collaborates with the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin, Tianjin University, and other institutions to carry out research in areas such as smart healthcare, smart services, and smart management. We have conducted research and development of a full-process disease diagnosis and treatment assistance system based on GenAI in the field of smart healthcare. The development of this project is of great significance. The first goal is to upgrade and transform the hospital's information center, organically integrate it with existing information systems, and provide the necessary computing power storage support for intelligent services within the hospital. We have implemented the localized deployment of three models: Tianhe "Tianyuan", WiNGPT, and DeepSeek. The second is to create a digital avatar of the chief physician/chief physician's voice and image by integrating multimodal intelligent interaction technology. With generative intelligence as the core, this solution provides patients with a visual medical interaction solution. The third is to achieve deep adaptation between generative intelligence and the entire process of patient medical treatment. In this project, we have developed assistant tools such as intelligent inquiry, intelligent diagnosis and recognition, intelligent treatment plan generation, and intelligent assisted medical record generation to improve the safety, quality, and efficiency of the diagnosis and treatment process. This study introduces the content of a full-process disease diagnosis and treatment assistance system, aiming to provide references and insights for the digital transformation of the healthcare industry.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by demyelination, axonal injury, and neuronal loss in central nervous system. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) animal model is widely used in MS. Accumulating evidences indicate that the programmed cell death-1/programmed cell death-ligands-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) pathway participates in pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. The authors comprehensively review the roles of PD-1/PD-L1 pathway in pathogenesis of MS and EAE animal model, and discuss the potential of this pathway as a new therapeutic target for MS, to provide reference for immunotherapy research of MS.
