Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is expected in postgastrectomy patients; however, its role has not been clarified. This study was to estimate the prevalence of SIBO and investigate clinical patients.This prospective involved 76 patients who underwent gastrectomy for early gastric cancer with no evidence recurrence. An H(2)-CH(4) breath test oral glucose challenge performed diagnose dumping syndrome. Sigstad questionnaires, serum glucose, hematocrit pulse rate were simultaneously...
Obesity is a risk factor for various types of cancer. Leptin, an adipocyte‑derived hormone, may stimulate the proliferation gastric cancer cells. However, effect leptin and underlying mechanism in remain unclear. In present study, role was evaluated. The on JAK‑STAT MEK signaling pathways investigated cells using wound‑healing cell invasion assays, immunoblotting inhibition studies. Cancer‑initiating derived from were used to investigate maintenance stemness epithelial‑mesenchymal transition...
Gastric cancers have poor overall survival despite recent advancements in early detection methods, endoscopic resection techniques, and chemotherapy treatments. Vaccinia viral therapy has had promising therapeutic potential for various a great safety profile. We investigated the efficacy of novel genetically-engineered vaccinia virus carrying human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS) gene, GLV-1 h153, on gastric its utility imaging with (99m)Tc pertechnetate scintigraphy ¹²⁴I positron emission...
Among patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer, the impact of anthropometric indices on surgical outcomes is not well-established. The aim this study was to evaluate prognostic significance skeletal muscle index (SMI) and body mass (BMI) overall survival (OS) in with cancer.A total 305 who underwent curative adenocarcinoma between January 2005 March 2008 were enrolled. Patients classified into groups based SMI BMI. measured by preoperative abdominal computed tomography (CT)....
Leptin plays an important role in the control of body weight and also has a growth-factor-like function epithelial cells. Abnormal expression leptin receptor may be associated with cancer development progression. We evaluated relationship among receptors polymorphisms, mass index (BMI), serum concentrations, clinicopathologic features gastric determined whether they could risk factor cancer.We measured concentrations 48 Korean patients age- sex-matched controls. By polymerase chain...
The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical features and outcomes 9 consecutive patients who suffered with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC) originating from gastric cancer.Between January 1995 December 2010, we retrospectively reviewed medical records LMC had been treated at St. Vincent's Hospital, Catholic University Korea.With exception 1 patient, primary cancer was Borrmann type III or IV, 5 cases poorly differentiated signet ring cell histology. TNM stage in 6 patients....
To evaluate feasibility and benefits of intracorporeal anastomosis, we compared short-term surgical outcomes between laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) totally laparoscopic (TLDG) with Billroth-II (B-II) anastomosis for gastric cancer. Sixty patients underwent attempted B-II TLDG from 2011 through 2013. Patients who LADG prior to were matched cases demographics, comorbidities, tumor characteristics, TNM stage. Perioperative the two groups. Clinicopathological characteristics both...
Background. The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence gallstone after gastrectomy, risk factors for formation, and surgical outcome cholecystectomy gastrectomy. Methods. A total 2480 gastric cancer patients who underwent curative resection at two institutions between January 1997 December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. patients' age, gender, diabetes mellitus, type extent node dissection, reconstruction evaluated. Results. Gallstone formation occurred in 128 (5.2%) had...
The relationship between polymorphisms in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and gastric cancer is still inconclusive. We investigated whether there an association VEGF genetic risk of cancer, evaluated the recurrence advanced after curative resection with adjuvant chemotherapy according to polymorphisms. functional single nucleotide (SNPs) gene (+936C > T, − 634G C, 2578C A, + 1612G A) were evaluated. Genotypes determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length...
Background/Aims: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries, such as gastrectomy, cholecystectomy, hysterectomy.Methods: One hundred seventy-one with surgery (50 hysterectomy, 14 107 cholecystectomy), 665 functional gastrointestinal disease (FGID) 30 healthy controls a hydrogen (H 2 )-methane (CH 4 ) glucose breath test (GBT) were reviewed.Results: GBT positivity (+) was...
