Objective To analyze features of color Doppler ultrasonography in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Method The ultrasound images of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (51 cases) and gastrointestinal cancers (59 cases) confirmed by operation and pathology were compared and analyzed. Results The gastric stromal tumor mainly occurred at the bottom of the stomach and the body of the stomach (17 cases), the intestinal stromal tumor mainly occurred at the small intestine (24 cases). The gastric cancer mainly occurred at the gastric antrum (18 cases), the intestinal cancer all occurred at the colon (20 cases) and rectum (12 cases). Compared with the gastrointestinal cancers, the gastrointestinal cavity was not surrounded by tumor, the peripheral boundary was clear, the morphology was more regular, the internal echo was uneven, and there was no peripheral lymph node metastasis in the gastrointestinal stromal tumors, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the degree of blood flow and tumor diameter between the gastrointestinal stromal tumors and the gastrointestinal cancers (P>0.05), but the blood flow of the intestinal stromal tumor was significantly more abundant as compared with the intestinal cancer (P<0.05). Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasonography, as a simple and rapid method, has a certain diagnostic value for differentiation of gastrointestinal stromal tumors and gastrointestinal cancers.
ObjectiveTo summarize the relationship between exosomes and the occurrence and development of gastrointestinal cancer.MethodsThrough online database, we collected the literatures about the relationship between exosomes and the development of gastrointestinal cancer at home and abroad, and then made an review.ResultsExosomes secreted by gastrointestinal cancer cells were related to tumorigenesis, tumor cell survival, chemoresistance, and early metastasis. Exosomes could play the role of information transmission, and regulation of cell physiology and pathological process in the development of gastrointestinal cancer through a variety of intercellular binding ways, and affectted the occurrence and development of gastrointestinal cancer via epigenetic regulation and tumor related signal transduction mechanism. They had been proved to be biomarkers, targets, and drug carriers for the treatment of gastrointestinalcancer.ConclusionIt is a new way to explore the molecular mechanism of exosomes in the development of gastrointestinal cancer.
