The gut microbiota plays a role in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but data about dysbiosis Asians with NAFLD remains scarce. We analyzed the differences fecal between adults and without NAFLD. This cross-sectional study examined histology-proven (25 (NAFL) patients, 25 steatohepatitis (NASH) living donors (healthy controls)). taxonomic composition of was determined by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing stool samples. NAFL NASH groups showed lower total bacterial diversity richness...
Introduction: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a major surgery associated with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in older adult patients. Malnutrition common complication these patients linked to poorer outcomes. This study aimed investigate the associations between preoperative nutritional status using Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) postoperative outcomes who underwent PD. Methods: A retrospective cohort was conducted on 363 The GNRI calculated based serum albumin...
Abstract Background Malnutrition is not uncommon among the elderly undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and related to increased complications. Previous studies have shown that Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) predicts outcomes in various populations. Nevertheless, research exploring correlation between GNRI postoperative PD scarce. This study aimed investigate preoperative malnutrition, as measured by GNRI, on patients PD. Materials Methods retrospective analysis enrolled 144...
The present study assessed the impact of retrieval >25 lymph nodes (LNs) on survival outcome patients with advanced gastric cancer after curative-intent gastrectomy.A total 5,386 who had undergone curative gastrectomy for from 1994 to 2011 were enrolled. clinicopathological parameters and overall (OS) analyzed according number LNs examined (≤15, n = 916; 16-25, 1,458; >25, 3,012).The percentage retrieved increased 2011. Patients in LN group more likely have a larger tumor size, poorer...
Abstract Background and Aim Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is suggested to actively utilize its ebv‐microRNAs (miRNAs) manipulate viral cellular functions during neoplasia transformation. A systemic profiling of ebv‐miRNAs expressed in EBV‐associated gastric carcinoma (EBVa GC) helps understand epigenetic regulation carcinogenesis. Methods total 1039 patients with cancer were screened for EBVa GC using EBV‐encoded RNAs situ hybridization. comprehensive was constructed stem‐loop quantitative...
AIM:To investigate the effect of pain relief after infusion ropivacaine at port sites end surgery. METHODS:From October 2006 to September 2007, 72 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) were randomized into two groups 36 patients.One group received LC and other normal saline.A visual analog scale was used assess postoperative when patient awakened in operating room, 6 24 h surgery, before discharge.The amount analgesics use also recorded.The demographics, laboratory data,...
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the treatment of choice for gallbladder lesions, but it is not a pain-free procedure. This study explored pain relief provided by combined wound and intraperitoneal local anesthetic use patients who are undergoing LC.Two-hundred twenty consecutive LC were categorized into 1 following 4 groups: after either with an (W + P) (group 1) or without NP) 2), no (NW 3) 4). A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess postoperative pain. The amount...
Emergent pancreaticoduodenectomy is a life-saving procedure in certain clinical scenarios when all the conservative treatment fails. The indications can be limited into perforation and bleeding. To clarify impact of etiology on surgical outcomes emergent for non-trauma, we analyzed our patients performed literature review. We reviewed 931 consecutive pancreaticoduodenectomies at institute between January 2001 July 2015. Patients with non-trauma etiologies were enrolled, whereas those who...
Abstract Conventional diesel and palm oil methyl esters were blended in 6 ratios (0, 10, 30, 50, 75 100% of biodiesel by volume) fed into an unmodified 4-stroke engine with a constant output power. The semi-volatile particulate products the exhaust collected separately their biological toxicities evaluated both Microtox test 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. indicates that TUVs (toxicity unit per liter sampled, TU/L-exhaust) extracts 3 to 5 times those...
