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...
Abstract Background We aimed to identify whether neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) are more useful predictors after initial intention treat than at the time of diagnosis. Methods collected medical data 533 patients. The results peripheral blood sampling before primary treatments were labeled as cohort, those obtained between 24 36 months treatment defined 2nd cohort. Delayed metastasis has been distant 2 years treatment, survival outcome was estimated...
Breast malignancy remains one of the most common causes cancer‑associated mortalities among women. MicroRNA (miR)‑221 and miR‑222 are homologous miRs have a substantial impact on cancer progression. In present study, regulatory mechanisms miR‑221/222 its target annexin A3 (ANXA3) in breast cells were investigated. tissue samples collected to evaluate expression patterns levels cell lines tissues according clinical characteristics. The increased or decreased compared with normal line subtype....
Background: Because laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) has a steep learning curve, analyzing experience is important for trainees. Several authors have described the curve of LLR, without comparing curves between major and minor LLR. Methods: Perioperative data were retrieved from medical records 170 consecutive patients who underwent LLR by single surgeon at tertiary hospital. Learning generated compared using cumulative sum control charts moving average. Results: Major was performed in 96...
While extended cholecystectomy is recommended for T2 gallbladder cancer (GBC), the role of hepatic resection GBC unclear. This study aimed to identify necessity in patients with GBC. Data 81 histopathologically proven who underwent surgical between January 1999 and December 2017 were enrolled from a retrospective database. Of these, 36 had peritoneal-side (T2a) tumors 45 hepatic-side (T2b) tumors. To optimal management method, classified into group (n = 44, T2a/T2b 20/24) non-hepatic 37,...
Heat shock protein 20 (HSP20), which is a member of the small heat family, known to participate in many pathological processes, such as asthma, intimal hyperplasia, and insulin resistance. However, function HSP20 cancer development not yet fully understood. In this study, we identified down-regulated resected colorectal (CRC) specimens compared with their paired normal tissues. Because proteins were barely detectable HCT-116 cells (a human cell line), recombinant adenovirus encoding...
A stercoral perforation of the rectum due to a fecaloma is rare disease with high mortality rate. Although multiple case reports colonic perforations have been published, data regarding rectal are limited. This report will highlight one such that was successfully treated laparoscopic operation.
Although laparoscopic treatment for T1 gallbladder cancer (GBC) has been described previously, the differences in oncologic outcomes between and conventional open surgery T2 GBC have not investigated. We aimed to assess role of using retrospectively collected data 81 patients with who underwent surgical resection January 2010 December 2017. Eligible were classified into "laparoscopic" "open" groups. Propensity-score matching was performed a 1:1 ratio. The effects type on oncological After...
The Niti CAR 27 (ColonRing) uses compression to create an anastomosis. This study aimed investigate the safety and effectiveness of anastomosis created with in a laparoscopic anterior resection for sigmoid colon cancer.In single-center study, 157 consecutive patients who received operation between March 2010 December 2011 were retrospectively assessed. (CAR group, 63 patients) colorectal anastomoses compared conventional double-stapled (CDS 94 anastomoses. Intraoperative, immediate...
This study evaluated the outcomes and prognostic factors for breast cancer according to initial lymph node (LN) status. Among patients with LN-negative cancer, we also focused on value of estrogen receptor (ER) status.Medical records were retrospectively reviewed 715 who underwent curative surgery between January 2005 December 2015 at a single Korean institution. We that associated metastasis-free survival (MFS) LN status.Among (age: 28-87 years), 458 (64.1%) did not have axillary...
The purpose of the study was to evaluate safety and effectiveness three-port laparoscopic right colectomy (3-LRC) for right-sided colon cancer compared with conventional five-port (5-LRC).One hundred sixty-three patients diagnosed adenocarcinoma underwent (LRC) between April 2011 December 2017. Seventy-four these 3-LRC procedure 89 5-LRC. Clinical characteristics, perioperative short-term outcomes, pathologic data were analyzed.There no differences in TNM stage, tumor location, estimated...
Toxocara canis is an important roundworm of canids and a fearsome animal parasite humans. Human infections can lead to syndromes called visceral larva migrans (VLM), ocular migrans, neurotoxocariasis, covert toxocariasis. VLM most commonly diagnosed in children younger than 8 years age, but adult cases are relatively frequent among those infected by ingesting the raw tissue paratenic hosts East Asia. This research reports case 59-year-old man with sigmoid colon cancer, who visited our...
This study is to evaluate the perioperative outcomes of duodenojejunostomy (DJ) procedure in pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD).In this study, as noted between 2010 and 2018, there were 77 PPPDs which performed at our hospital by one surgeon. We began circular stapled method from 2014, continue with for aforementioned surgeries including up today. The clinical data collected retrospectively compare two methods, anastomosis hand - sewn anastomosis.There 34 patients a group, 43...
Ectopic opening of the pancreatic and bile ducts (EOPBD) into duodenal bulb is an extremely rare congenital anomaly with unknown clinical implications. We presented a case gallbladder cancer EOPBD bulb. A 57-year-old male was referred to our hospital intermittent right upper abdominal pain. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography magnetic resonance showed individual no papillary structure, focal nodular lesion in gallbladder. follow-up computed tomography scan 9 months later revealed...
