Nectin-4 belongs to the nectin family that has diverse physiological and pathological functions in humans. Recent studies have also suggested some roles for several human cancers. However, precise clinical relevance of tumors are largely unknown.Nectin-4 expression was investigated 123 patients with pancreatic cancer by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, we association tumor proliferation, angiogenesis immunity using immunohistochemistry siRNA interference method.Patients high had poorer...
Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19–9 levels after resection are considered to predict prognosis; however, the significance of decreased CA19–9 neoadjuvant therapy has not been clarified. This study aimed define prognostic in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Between 2001 and 2012, 240 consecutive received subsequent at seven high-volume institutions Japan. These were divided into three groups: Normal group (no elevation [≤37 U/ml] before therapy), Responder (elevated [> 37 but afterwards),...
Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and liver metastasis are treated palliative chemotherapy, whereas similar patients metastatic colorectal cancer considered for aggressive surgery.
The optimal therapeutic strategy for very elderly pancreatic cancer patients remains to be determined. aim of this study was clarify the role resection in 80 years age or older.A retrospective multicenter analysis 1401 who had undergone performed. aged ≥ (n = 99) were compared with a control group <80 1302).There no significant differences postoperative complications and mortality between two groups. However, prognosis octogenarians poorer than that younger both resectable borderline tumors....
Three new phenolic compounds, 3'-Ο-methylsappanol, 3'-Ο-methylepisappanol and 3'-Ο-methylbrazilin, were isolated from Sappan Lignum, the dried heartwood of Caesalpinia sappan. The absolute configurations sappanol, episappanol, 3'-deoxysappanol, 3'-Ο-methylepisappanol, brazilin 3'-Ο-methylbrazilin determined by means Horeau's partial resolution method chemical correlations.Sappanol, 3'-Ο-methylsappanol form a novel class homoisoflavonoids.
Abstract Background Postoperative nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) after pancreaticoduodenectomy PD has recently become recognized. However, the pathoetiology of postoperative is largely unknown. Furthermore, optimal treatment not been established. The aim this prospective study was to clarify whether pancrelipase, which contains digestive pancreatic enzymes, could reverse . Methods A collaborative clinical trial conducted UMIN000006841 ). total 30 patients who developed were...
718 Background: Conversion surgery (CS) for unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer (UR-LAPC) has been widely accepted when feasible. However, optimal preoperative treatment strategies remain unclear. To determine the most effective approach UR-LAPC in current landscape, we conducted a project study Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery. Methods: We analyzed 465 patients who underwent CS following chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX (FFX), gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel...
Management of gastrointestinal perforation in patients with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is clinically challenging. A male his 40s vEDS presented right lower abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed a foreign body the ileum bowel perforation. detailed inquiry that he had consumed codfish six days prior. Based on these findings, was diagnosed small caused by fish bone. Emergency laparotomy performed and intraoperative findings showed bone penetrating mesentery. We resected ~5 cm...
Much attention has been paid to neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) as a new strategy especially for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC). However, the optimal indication of NAT remains undetermined.We analyzed 248 patients with (PC). One hundred tumors were classified R group. Sixty-nine venous involvement BR-P group, while 31 arterial BR-A Ninety-nine received NAT. Furthermore, 48 unresectable locally advanced PC served controls (LAPC group). Among them, 11 adjuvant surgery afterwards...
