AIMTo evaluate the prognostic value of neutrophil-tolymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODSBetween April 1996 December 2010, medical records from a total 1868 CRC were retrospectively reviewed.The values simple inflammatory markers including NLR PLR predicting long-term outcomes these evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves Cox regression models. RESULTSThe median follow-up duration was 46 mo (interquartile range, 22-73).The...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that mainly occur in the stomach and small intestine; those arising esophagus rarer. A 54-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a one-month history of dysphagia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), performed approximately five months earlier, had not revealed any specific findings. However, an EGD showed presence round, protruding lesion (approximately 40×30 mm size), normal overlying mucosal surface, 35–39 cm...
<title>Abstract</title> Background This study aimed to investigate the correlation between clinical nodal status (cN) and pathological (pN) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients identify risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) via National Cancer Database (NCDB). Methods We identified HCC who underwent liver resection 2004 2017 from NCDB. Clinical variables were analyzed assess cN1 pN1. Logistic regression models used LNM evaluate diagnostic performance of predicting Results A...
Abstract Background We evaluated the efficacy of tailored therapy based on point mutation presence identified with dual‐priming oligonucleotide (DPO)‐based multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method compared concomitant therapy. Materials and methods Subjects were randomly assigned (amoxicillin 1 g, clarithromycin 500 mg, metronidazole lansoprazole 30 mg twice/day for 14 days) or days in mutation‐negative subjects; amoxicillin mutation‐positive subjects). Results A total 397 352...
Background/Aim We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sending educational video clips via smartphone mobile messenger (SMM) on enhancing bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Methods This was a prospective, endoscopist-blinded, randomized controlled study. Patients in SMM group received two sent that explained diet and regimen for preparation, whereas those control did not receive any clips. compared quality between groups, which assessed by an endoscopist using Ottawa scale. Results Between...
It is generally assumed that gastric cancer (GC) in young patients has different clinicopathologic characteristics than of elderly patients. Although recurrence an important factor determining prognosis, traditional clinicopathological factors are sometimes inadequate for predicting individuals. Therefore, we aimed to identify miRNAs with the potential predict patients.Young (age <40 years) undergoing gastrectomy potentially curable GC (stage III) at Asan Medical Center participated this...
Abstract Background Recently, a simple tailored therapy based on clarithromycin resistance has been implemented as Helicobacter pylori ( H. ) eradication therapy. Nonetheless, despite the and frequent adverse events, studies treatment period are lacking. This study aimed to compare rates of 7‐day 14‐day regimens according resistance. Materials Methods multicenter, prospective, randomized, noninferiority trial enrolled ‐positive patients who were randomly assigned regimen groups, depending...
The purpose of this study is to validate the recently published Breast–Graded Prognostic Assessment (GPA) and propose a new prognostic model nomogram for patients with brain parenchymal metastases (BM) from breast cancer (BC). We retrospectively investigated 171 consecutive who received diagnosis BM BC during 2000–2008. appraised proposed Sperduto's BC-specific GPA in training cohort through Kaplan-Meier survival curve using log-rank test area under BC-GPA predicting overall at 1 year...
Background: Increasing clarithromycin resistance has led to changes in several guidelines for treatment of Helicobacter pylori infections. We compared the H. eradication rates empirical concomitant therapy (CoT) and a tailored (TaT) using dual-priming oligonucleotide-based polymerase chain reaction detect mutations 23S rRNA gene that are related resistance. Methods: Between June 2020 May 2021, 290 patients were enrolled randomly assigned 2 groups. In CoT group, received rabeprazole 20 mg,...
Current evidence support that the gut microbiota plays a potential role in obesity. Bariatric surgery can reduce excess weight and decrease risk of life-threatening weight-related health problems may also influence microbiota. In this study, we aimed to investigate changes before after bariatric evaluate association microbial shift altered body mass index (BMI) surgery.Between January 2019 July 2020, stools from 58 patients scheduled for were collected. Six months surgery, 22 these...
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are essential for clinical decision making, conduction of research, and drug application acquisition in functional gastrointestinal disorders. The aim this study is to develop a PRO instrument determine the respondents' perception efficacy therapeutic agents dyspepsia (FD).A self-evaluation questionnaire (SEQ-DYSPEPSIA) was developed validated through structured process. 2-week reproducibility evaluated, construct validity assessed by correlating scores...
Suspicion of lesions and prediction the histology esophageal cancers or premalignant in endoscopic images are not yet accurate. The local feature selection optimization functions model enabled an accurate analysis deep learning.To establish a deep-learning to diagnose cancers, precursor lesions, non-neoplasms using images. Additionally, nationwide prospective multicenter performance verification was conducted confirm possibility real-clinic application.A total 5162 white-light were used for...
Background: Many studies have reported the use of simethicone before colonoscopy removes bubbles. However, guidelines weakly recommend administration colonoscopy. The present study aimed to confirm advantages taking and determine appropriate time for simethicone. Methods: We randomly assigned patients following 5 groups according time: 4 were divided based on 2 parameters (the day after bowel cleansing) remaining group was control group. compared bubble score (BS), number solution...
To investigate
BACKGROUND Mortality rate for severe liver injuries remains high. As an adjunct to surgery, postoperative hepatic angiography (PHA) may have a positive impact on outcomes. This study sought compare outcomes following surgical management of with and without PHA using propensity score matching analysis. METHODS Data from the National Trauma Bank 2007 2014 were analyzed. The population consisted patients older than 18 years, sustaining (i.e., American Association Surgery Organ Injury Scale...
