Abstract Purpose: Higher serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels are reportedly associated with better survival in early-stage non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore, whether vitamin supplementation can improve the prognosis of patients NSCLC was examined (UMIN000001869). Patients and Methods: A randomized, double-blind trial comparing supplements (1,200 IU/day) placebo for 1 year after operation conducted. The primary secondary outcomes were relapse-free (RFS) overall (OS),...
Lung surgeries in patients with bronchial variations have rarely been reported. Here, we describe the case of a patient along lung cancer variant anatomy right upper lobe bronchus. This variation was evaluated by three-dimensional multi-detector computed tomography angiography bronchography and printing model using rapid prototyping. The anterior segment bronchus (S3) arising from middle confirmed before surgery model, which helped to determine extent resection required facilitated...
Thoracoscopic segmentectomies and subsegmentectomies are more difficult than lobectomy because of the complexity procedure; therefore, preoperative decision-making surgical procedure planning essential. In literature, we could successfully perform thoracoscopic anatomical subsegmentectomy right S2b + S3 using a 3D printing model with rapid prototyping. This innovative support is extremely useful for identifying margin.
The incidence of refractory atopic dermatitis has increased in teenagers and young adults. purpose this study was to control the skin symptoms such patients daily life. Seventy repeatedly took a 10-min 42 degrees C acidic hot-spring bath twice daily. were improved 76% cases. In 30 responders examined Staphylococcus aureus, detected on surface, disappeared or decreased through balneotherapy. contrast, S. aureus remained unchanged 8 10 non-responders examined. Thus, balneotherapy using water...
Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) typically succumb to mortality early, even following surgical resection. Therefore, prognostic factors associated early are required improve the survival of patients PDA Carbohydrate sulfotransferase 15 (CHST15) is responsible for biosynthesis sulfated chondroitin sulfate E (CS‑E), which serves a pivotal function in cancer progression by cleaving CD44. CHST15 and CD44 expression tissue were assessed as factor A total 36 consecutive...
To determine whether second whole-brain irradiation is beneficial for patients previously treated with irradiation. A retrospective analysis was done 31 brain metastases who had undergone re-irradiation. Initial performed 30 Gy/10 fractions 87% of these patients. Whole-brain re-irradiation 42% (3–40 Gy/1–20 fractions). Three underwent a third The median interval between the initial and 10 months (range: 2–69 months). survival time after 4 1–21 symptomatic improvement rate 68%, partial...
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of chest wall reconstruction using a relatively new expanded polytetrafluoroethylene prosthesis Gore-Tex(®) dual mesh.We reviewed charts 11 patients who underwent bony resection from April 2006 January 2011.Six three ribs resection, two and other sternal resection. Of six after 2 mm mesh, one Gore-Tex(®), Bard composite E/X, remaining used no prosthesis. Three Two mesh with or without vascularized musculocutaneous pedicle flap. Immediate...
Thymic haemangiomas and innominate vein aneurysms are rare with only 7 19 previous cases, respectively, reported in the medical literature. The aetiology of an aneurysm remains unclear there is no report tumour involvement. We present case a 27-year old male concomitant mediastinal who underwent surgical treatment. intruded into lower section vein, thus causing aneurysmal dilation. Pathologically, was diagnosed as thymic cavernous haemangioma involving left vein. This first presenting...
Objective: Postimplantation syndrome (PIS) is a postoperative that occurs after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), accompanied by high fever, leukocytosis, and serum C-reactive protein (CRP). Its pathogenesis clinical meaning are still under discussion. Here, we evaluate the relationship between fever EVAR graft fabric focusing on Endologix Powerlink® AFX® (EPL/AFX).
Background . We compared Skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) with immediate breast reconstruction and Non-skin-sparing (NSSM), various types of incision in SSM. Method Records 202 consecutive cancer patients were reviewed retrospectively. Also the SSM, three skin used. Type A was a periareolar lateral extension, type B axillary incision, C included straight incisions, small elliptical (base line nipple) within areolar complex incision. Results Seventy-three SSMs 129 NSSMs performed. The mean...
The fissureless lobectomy or anterior technique is a novel surgical technique, which avoids dissection of the lung parenchyma over pulmonary artery during by open thoracotomy approach direct vision thoracoscopic surgery. This indicated for fused lobes. We present two cases where segmentectomy was performed using simulated three-dimensional (3D) models. 3D model and rapid prototyping provided an accurate anatomical understanding operative field in both cases. believe that construction these...
Skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) and immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) has become popular as an effective procedure for patients with early cancer. We herein report overview of the four types skin incisions used SSM.
We investigated the prognostic factors after radiotherapy for bone metastasis from lung cancer while taking recent findings in treatment of such cases into consideration.A total 132 patients with metastases pathologically confirmed were evaluated regarding following potential factors: primary site (surgery vs. other), (spine number (solitary multiple), metastatic organs (0 1 ≥2), neurological symptoms (no numbness paresis), degree pain mild severe pain), performance status [PS] (0-1...
Various anatomical variants in pulmonary veins can have a serious effect on patients undergoing lung surgery. We present case of patient with an unusual vein variation. Preoperative review the patient's three-dimensional 64-row multidetector computed tomography imaging allowed us precise simulation and good orientation vascular variant anatomy during Upper lobectomy through thoracoscopic approach was performed successfully where middle lobe might been divided without preoperative evaluation...
For the purpose of simulating thoracoscopic surgery, we have conducted stepwise development a life-like chest model including thorax and intrathoracic organs.First, CT data human were obtained. First-generation model: based on data, each component was made from 3D printer. A hard resin used for bony rubber-like vessels bronchi. Lung parenchyma, muscles skin not created. Second-generation in addition to printer, cast moulding method used. Each part casted using printed master then assembled....
