RESUMO
As a vital component of gastroenterology and endoscopology, minimally invasive endoscopic surgery has expanded its technology from surface to depth, from inside to outside, from intraluminal to extraluminal lesions, and from organic diseases to functional diseases. This paper summarizes the experience of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery in the recent two decades, and in combination with the current development trend, puts forward understanding about the concept of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery--ERBEC, namely elements, reservation-resection, bilateral-benefit, expansion, collaboration, in order to truly benefit patients through new methods and concepts.

Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is involved in several pathological activities associated with tumor progression and chemoresistance, however, the role and molecular mechanism of Gal-1 activity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and sorafenib resistance remain enigmatic. In the present study, forced Gal-1 expression promoted HCC progression and sorafenib resistance. Gal-1 elevated αvß3-integrin expression, leading to AKT activation. Moreover, Gal-1 overexpression induced HCC cell EMT via PI3K/AKT cascade activation. Clinically, our data revealed that Gal-1 overexpression is correlated with poor HCC survival outcomes and sorafenib response. These data suggest that Gal-1 may be a potential therapeutic target for HCC and a biomarker for predicting response to sorafenib treatment.
