In this paper, we study the challenging problem of automatic generation of citation texts in scholarly papers. Given the context of a citing paper A and a cited paper B, the task aim-

Clinical decision-making on endoscopic vs. surgical resection of early gastric cardiac carcinoma remains challenging because of uncertainty on risk of lymph node metastasis. The aim of this multicenter study was to investigate risk factors of lymph node metastasis in early gastric cardiac carcinoma. Guided with the World Health Organization diagnostic criteria, we studied 2101 radical resections of early gastric carcinoma for risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis, including tumor location, gross pattern, size, histology type, differentiation, invasion depth, lymphovascular, and perineural invasion. We found that the risk of lymph node metastasis was significantly lower in early gastric cardiac carcinomas (6.7%, 33/495), compared with early gastric non-cardiac carcinomas (17.1%, 275/1606) (p < 0.0001). In early gastric cardiac carcinoma, no lymph node metastasis was identified in intramucosal carcinoma (0/193) and uncommon types of carcinomas (0/24), irrespective of the gross pattern, size, histologic type, differentiation, and invasion depth. Ulceration, size > 3 cm, and submucosal invasion were not significant independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis. In 33 early gastric cardiac carcinomas with lymph node metastasis, either lymphovascular invasion or poor differentiation was present in 16 (48.5%) cases and together in six cases. By multivariate analysis, independent risk factors of lymph node metastasis in early gastric cardiac carcinoma included lymphovascular invasion (Odds Ratio (OR): 7.6, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 2.8-20.2) (p < 0.0001) and poor differentiation (OR: 6.0, 95% CI: 1.4-25.9) (p < 0.05). In conclusion, lymph node metastasis was not identified in early gastric cardiac intramucosal carcinoma and uncommon types of carcinoma. The risk of lymph node metastasis was also significantly lower in tumors with submucosal invasion, especially for cases without lymphovascular invasion or poor differentiation. These results lend support to the role of endoscopic therapy in the treatment of patients with early gastric cardiac carcinoma.

SIRT1 is a deacetylase that modifies gene expression. Some researchers have found that SIRT1 is upregulated in malignant tumor tissues. Therefore, this study investigated the SIRT1 expression in gastric cardiac carcinoma and its correlation with clinicopathologic features and prognosis. Tissue microarray technique and immunohistochemical stains were used to detect the expression of SIRT1, p53, and Ki-67 in 176 gastric cardiac carcinoma tissues and 32 normal gastric cardiac region tissues. SIRT1 expression in gastric cardiac carcinoma was significantly higher than that in normal gastric cardiac tissues and was associated with lymphatic metastasis, TNM stage, survival rate and mean survival time. Expression of Ki-67 in the SIRT1 positive group was significantly higher than that in the negative group. In conclusion, high expression of SIRT1 in gastric cardiac carcinoma was correlated with lymphatic metastasis, TNM stage, proliferative status and prognosis. SIRT1 might be a biological parameter to evaluate malignant degree and prognosis of gastric cardiac carcinoma.

Independent risk factors for LNM in EGC in Chinese patients included tumor size ≥ 3 cm, poor differentiation, submucosal invasion, adenocarcinoma mixed with signet-ring cell carcinoma and LVI. Early cardiac carcinoma had a significantly lower risk for LNM.

Our results suggest that SZ-685C induces MMQ cell apoptosis in a miR-200c-dependent manner. Therefore, SZ-685C might be a useful alternative treatment for pituitary adenoma.
