Cholecystokinin: Clinical aspects of the new biology
Abstract Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a classic gut hormone that has been known for almost a century to regulate gallbladder emptying, pancreatic enzyme secretion, and gastrointestinal motor activity. In 1968, the CCK structure was identified by Viktor Mutt and Erik Jorpes from porcine gut extracts as a peptide of 33 amino acid residues.

Esomeprazole Potentiates the Cytotoxic Effects of Cisplatin in Gastric Carcinoma Cells
Esomeprazole potentiates cisplatin‐induced cytotoxicity in SNU‐1 gastric cancer cells by enhancing oxidative stress, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA damage. ABSTRACT Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), including esomeprazole, impact the acidic tumor microenvironment, potentially influencing cancer cell behavior.

Objectives Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is crucial in determining treatment strategies for gastric neuroendocrine tumors (gNETs). While type 3 is considered more aggressive than types 1 and 2 within the clinical subtype of gNETs, the supporting data were insufficient, due to their rarity. We aimed to study the prevalence and risk factors associated with

Abstract Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (panNETs) are rare pediatric malignancies with age‐specific clinical and biological features. Data on their presentation, management, and outcomes remain limited. This retrospective study analyzed 28 pediatric panNET cases from the German Malignant Endocrine Tumor (MET) Registry enrolled between 1997 and 2024 ...

Predictors of Mortality in Patients With Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1
SUMMARY Objective Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN 1) is an autosomal dominant disease predisposing to hyperplasia and neoplasia in diverse endocrine tissues. Patients typically present with endocrine abnormalities before the age of 30 years and have reduced life expectancy.
