Circulating tumour DNA in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma …
Objective Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is a promising non-invasive biomarker in cancer. We aim to assess the dynamic of ctDNA in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Design We analysed 772 plasmas from 173 patients with HCC collected at the time of diagnosis or treatment (n=502), 24 hours after locoregional treatment (n=154) and during follow-up (n=116).
Puerarin alleviates atherosclerosis via the inhibition of Prevotella ...
Objective Puerarin (PU) is a natural compound that exhibits limited oral bioavailability but has shown promise in the treatment of atherosclerosis (AS). However, the precise mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of PU and its mechanisms in mitigating AS in both mice and humans. Design The impact of PU on AS was ...

Leaky gut: mechanisms, measurement and clinical implications in …
The objectives of this review on ‘leaky gut’ for clinicians are to discuss the components of the intestinal barrier, the diverse measurements of intestinal permeability, their perturbation in non-inflammatory ‘stressed states’ and the impact of treatment with dietary factors. Information on ‘healthy’ or ‘leaky’ gut in the public domain requires confirmation before endorsing ...

Redefining QUAIDE: paving the way for better AI in preclinical ...
We read with great interest the recent article by Antonelli et al 1 on the quality assessment for artificial intelligence in digestive endoscopy (QUAIDE) framework, which enhances the quality and reproducibility of artificial intelligence (AI)-based gastrointestinal endoscopy research. While QUAIDE provides a solid foundation for pre-clinical research design, we see opportunities for …
