Visfatin is a proinflammmatory cytokine with accumulating evidence for its rise in circulation of cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between preoperative plasma visfatin level and prognosis of gastric cancers. Preoperative plasma visfatin levels of 262 patients with gastric cancers and plasma visfatin levels of 262 healthy individuals were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Preoperative plasma visfatin level was substantially higher in patients than in healthy subjects. Plasma visfatin levels were associated with invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, peritoneal dissemination, tumor size and tumor node metastasis stage. Multivariate analysis revealed that high plasma visfatin level was an independent factor for death. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that plasma visfatin level predicted death with high area under curve. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified plasma visfatin level as an independent predictor of overall survival. Thus, our results suggest that high preoperative plasma visfatin level is associated with prognostic factors for gastric cancer as well as may play a role as prognostic biomarker in gastric cancer survival.

The dual incretin co-agonist tirzepatide increases both insulin secretion and glucose effectiveness in model experiments in mice

Giovanni Pacini, Bo Ahren

Summary: Tirzepatide stimulates both insulin secretion and glucose effectiveness, with stimulation of glucose effectiveness being the prominent process to reduce glucose.

Endomorphin-2 analogs with C-terminal esterification display potent antinociceptive effects in the formalin pain test in mice

Si -yu Wang, Yu-zhe Zhang, Xiao-han Liu, Xue-ci Guo, Xiao-fang Wang, Feng-tong Han, Yao Zhang, Chang -lin Wang

Summary: In the formalin pain test, the EM-2 analogs EM-2-Me, EM-2-Et, and EM-2-Bu showed significant analgesic effects with reduced tolerance and gastrointestinal side effects. These effects were mediated through central opioid mechanisms, with EM-2-Me possibly involving dynorphin A release and EM-2-Bu directly activating multiple opioid receptors.
