The authors evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition and its effect on postoperative morbidity patients after surgery for colorectal cancer.Three hundred fifty-two were enrolled prospectively. Nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score was calculated through interview with patient admission. Clinical characteristics, tumor status surgical procedure recorded.The at nutritional 28.1 per cent according to NRS 2002. rate complication 27%. There a significant difference in rates between...
The baculovirus is a classic example of parasite that alters the behavior or physiology its host so progeny transmission maximized. Baculoviruses do this by inducing enhanced locomotory activity (ELA) causes caterpillars to climb upper foliage plants. We previously reported not induced in silkworms are infected with mutant lacking protein tyrosine phosphatase (ptp) gene, gene likely captured from an ancestral host. Here we show product ptp PTP, associates ORF1629 as virion structural...
ABSTRACT The Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) genome contains five related members of the bro gene family, all which are actively expressed in infected BmN cells. Although their functions unknown, amino acid sequences contain a motif found known viral and prokaryotic single-stranded DNA binding proteins. To determine if they bind to nucleic acids, we fractionated nuclei BmNPV-infected cells using histone extraction protocol. We detected BRO-A, BRO-C, BRO-D H1 fraction anti-BRO...
A 15-year Experience of Single InstituteThis study was designed to evaluate the clinical features abdominal actinomycosis and assess its therapeutic outcome.We reviewed patients with in Seoul St. Mary hospital, between January 1994 2010.Twenty-three (5 male 18 female, mean age, 47.8 yr; range, 6-75 yr), were included.Emergency surgery performed 50% due symptoms peritonitis.The common presentation on preoperative computerized tomography a mass abscess, mimicking malignancy.The tumor size 7.0...
For obstructive colon cancer, many studies have been conducted on the use of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) as a bridge to surgery (BTS). However, there are currently no available prospective data impact bridging period and is lack research effects neoadjuvant chemotherapy during period. Patients who undergo successful SEMS placement for left-sided adenocarcinoma without metastases will be eligible this study. This study multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized (1:1), open-label,...
ABSTRACT The baculovirus Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) contains five related open reading frames (ORFs). Recent sequence analyses of several other genomes reveal that these ORFs belong to a unique multigene family called the repeated ( bro ) family. Here we have characterized genes from BmNPV at transcriptional and translational levels. Reverse transcription-PCR primer extension indicated transcription all occurs by 2 4 h postinfection (p.i.) reaches maximal levels between 8 12...
The endoscopic techniques for treating a small rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) are performed in most large centers; however, the management of this condition is not well established. This study was designed to determine long-term prognosis endoscopically resected NET.We prospectively studied patients with treated NET Seoul St Mary's hospital, between January 2000 and June 2010. outcomes were analyzed association pathological complete resection procedures.Seventy-seven (48 men 29 women;...
The genome of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is predicted to contain six RING finger proteins: IAP1, ORF35, IAP2, CG30, IE2, and PE38. Several other members the family have recently been shown ubiquitin-ligase (E3) activity. We thus examined whether BmNPV proteins E3 In vitro ubiquitination assay with rabbit reticulocyte lysates fused maltose-binding protein (MBP) showed that four them (IAP2, PE38, CG30) were polyubiquitinated in presence zinc ion. Furthermore, MBP-IAP2, MBP-IE2,...
The cannabinoid system has been considered to be a potential target of colorectal carcinoma therapy. aim this study was address the correlation between type 1 (CB1) receptor expression and disease severity/outcomes in patients with cancer (CRC). CB1 analyzed by immunohistochemistry using tissue microarrays consecutive who underwent surgical resection (n=534). categorized as high (≥66%) vs. low (<66%) immunopercentage median split, relation severity overall survival. observed 409 (76.6%). Low...
Abstract A bridge to surgery (BTS) after a colonic stent for obstructive colon cancer has not been accepted as standard treatment strategy. Also, there is no consensus regarding the optimal time interval BTS. We aimed identify timing BTS placement decrease oncologic risk. retrospectively collected data of 174 patients who underwent stage II or III from five hospitals. divided into three groups based on placement: within 7 days (Group 1), 8 14 2), and 3). The primary outcome was compare...
