Filter by:" Hepatic artery variants are occasionally seen, especially 20-30% of aberrant left hepatic artery. In radical gastrectomy, decision for aberrant left hepatic artery(ALHA) ligation should consider the oncologic safety and liver-related complication. Theoretically, the ALHA preservation is the most ideal in the aspect of liver function protection. However, it is technically difficult which consumes much time. Not only that, oncologic safety could be threatened as some soft tissues, including lymph nodes, could be remained while in preserving the ALHA. There has been no standardized method to evaluate the ALHA, and to decide whether preserve or ligate it. This prospective study has been designed to develop the decision algorithm to define the ALHA preservation/ligation, using near-infrared fluorescence imaging during surgery. "
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the risk factors associated with incident HGD/GA in patients with CAG with or without IM who are enrolled in endoscopic surveillance, as well as to compare GA incidence according to the OLGA and OLGIM scales in patients 18 years or older. . The main questions it aims to answer are: - What risk factors are associated with incident HGD/GA in patients with CAG with or without IM? - What is the comparative HGD/GA incidence according to the OLGA and OLGIM scales?
In order to improve postoperative ileus in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, digestive medications and prokinetics have been routinely used. Among them, mosapride citrate is widely used as a representative drug, as it is a 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor agonist that increases gastrointestinal motility. Prucalopride succinate (dihydrobenzofurancarboxamide) is a type of 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor agonist that has a higher affinity for the 5-HT4 receptor compared to mosapride (a benzamide derivative) which belongs to the same class of drugs. Prucalopride succinate has been demonstrated to increase both gastric and colonic motility through in vivo and in vitro studies. As mentioned earlier, it exhibits high specificity for the 5-HT4 receptor. The 5-HT4 receptor is not expressed in the gastric mucosa but is expressed at low concentrations in the small intestine, whereas it is highly expressed in the colonic mucosa. Therefore, prucalopride is widely used as a therapeutic agent for chronic constipation by increasing colonic motility. Furthermore, Prucalopride succinate stimulates the 5-HT4 receptors present in the nerve terminals of the myenteric plexus, promoting the release of acetylcholine. The released acetylcholine acts on α7nAch receptors located on the surface of enteric smooth muscle cells, inhibiting inflammatory responses and reducing postoperative ilues. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted on 110 patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery demonstrated that prucalopride succinate showed significant improvement in gastrointestinal motility compared to the control group. Currently, mosapride citrate is widely used as a prokinetic agent in clinical practice. However, preliminary studies have shown no significant efficacy, and when comparing abdominal X-ray images taken on the third day after surgery, there is no significant difference compared to the placebo group. As a result, it can be observed that the recovery of gastrointestinal motility after surgery is not primarily due to small bowel motility but rather delayed gas passing caused by colon motility. Therefore, it can be assumed that using drugs that increase colon motility may be effective in improving gastrointestinal motility after surgery.

Trastuzumab for injection is a biosimilar of Herceptin ® produced by Chia Tai Tianqing Biotechnology Co., LTD, which is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody produced by chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. A randomized, double-blind, single-dose, parallel phase I study comparing trastuzumab for injection with Herceptin ® in healthy male volunteers was conducted to evaluate the similarities in pharmacokinetics, tolerability, safety and immunogenicity of Trastuzumab for injection and Herceptin®.
we explore the learning curve and the impact of technique optimization on surgical outcomes and the first to construct a referenceable learning phase for performing robotic gastric cancer surgery.
Surgical resection is the mainstay for gastric cancer. Surgical stress response, like insulin resistance and catabolism, is inevitable and is a risk factor for postoperative outcome. To cope with this stress, the enhanced recovery protocol has been proposed and successfully implemented in clinical practice. Recently, prehabilitation have attracted increasingly attention, which is the preoperative part of enhanced recovery pathway. Prehabtilitation are bundles of evidenced elements in order to improve patient's functional capacity. Patients with gastric cancer are usually suffered from nutritional risk, anxiety and frailty. In this trial, we investigate whether multimodal prehabilitation (exercise, nutrition and psychological support) could improve patient's functional status to better tolerate surgical trauma.
This is a population-based case-control study in all 5 Nordic countries from 1994 onwards. All cases with an esophageal or gastric tumor will be compared with 10 times as many population controls, frequency-matched by age, sex, and calendar year, country. This design offers excellent statistical power, length and completeness of follow-up, quality of data on exposures, outcomes and confounders, and control for confounding. The project will include a specific study entitled "Long-term medication with proton pump inhibitors and risk of gastric cancer", which is summarized here: Research question: Medication with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) (e.g., omeprazole and esomeprazole) is one of the most common long-term therapies globally, prompted by its high anti-acidic efficacy and good short-term safety profile. Gastric cancer is the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, responsible for 770,000 deaths each year. There are clear biological mechanisms linking long-term PPI-use with an increased risk of gastric cancer. However, existing research has not been able to provide a definite answer to whether long-term PPI-use is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. The reasons are that the literature is hampered by too short follow-up time to assess cancer development, and also insufficient statistical power, lack of population-based design and confounding. With the availability of nationwide complete medication registries in the Nordic countries, the firsts two starting already in 1994 (Denmark and Finland), we can now, by adding registry data from all Nordic countries together, conduct the first study providing a robust and valid answer to this research question. Overarching aim This project aims to clarify if (and if so to what extent) long-term PPI-therapy influences the risk of developing gastric adenocarcinoma. For validation reasons, we will also examine how long-term use of histamine-2-receptor blockers (H2RB) influences the risk of developing gastric adenocarcinoma. These analyses will validate that the findings are specific for PPIs. H2RB are used for the same indications as PPIs, but with a different biological mechanism. Hypothesis We plan to test the hypothesis that long-term use of PPI (but not H2RB) increases the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma. Prerequisites This will be the first project with all prerequisites to provide conclusive answers to the hypotheses above, i.e.: - Long follow-up (up to 28 years) - Complete follow-up (by virtue of the nationwide complete Nordic registries) - Population-based design (which rules out biased selection of cases or controls) - Superior statistical power (all five Nordic countries participate with nationwide data) - High-quality data on exposures, outcomes and confounders (thanks to well-maintained and complete nationwide Nordic health data registries) - Control for confounding factors (available for all participants, both cases and controls)
Of 737 consecutive patients undergoing (sub)total gastrectomy for gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, 679 cases with curative intent surgery between 05/1996 and 03/2019 were included. Patients were categorized into: i) R0 without further resection (direct R0), ii) R0 after positive IOC and extension of resection (converted R0) and iii) R1.
