Case report: Rapidly progressive desmoid tumor after surgery for esophagogastric junction cancer and slowly progressive primary desmoid tumor: a report of two cases and literature review.

Background: Desmoid tumor (DT) is a rare locally aggressive but non-metastatic mesenchymal soft tissue neoplasm that predominantly occurs in the abdominal wall, abdominal cavity, and extremities. Its occurrence in the mesentery is relatively uncommon.

Case Reports: This article reports two cases of desmoid tumor treated at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Weifang People's Hospital.

Laparoscopic repair of perineal hernia and unilateral inguinal hernia after rectal cancer surgery: A case report.

Introduction: Perineal hernia (PH) is a rare complication that can occur after abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer. Laparoscopic repair of PHs has gained increasing popularity compared to open approaches due to advantages such as superior visualization, decreased invasiveness, and faster recovery. This case report highlights the successful use of laparoscopic tension-free mesh repair for concurrent perineal and inguinal hernias after rectal cancer surgery.

Role of carbon nanotracers in lymph node dissection of advanced gastric cancer and the selection of preoperative labeling time.

Background: The incidence of gastric cancer is high. The number of dissected lymph nodes was an independent factor affecting prognosis. Although preoperative labeling is helpful in lymph nodes resection, there are no guidelines for when to perform preoperative labeling.

MiR-183 functions as an oncogene by targeting ABCA1 in colon cancer.

Colon cancer remains the second most common cause of cancer-related death, indicating that a proportion of cancer cells are not eradicated by current therapies. Investigation of the molecular mechanisms involved in the development and progression of the disease will aid in the further understanding of the pathogenesis and progression and offer new targets for effective therapies. In the present study, we initially confirmed that ABCA1 was aberrantly expressed in colon cancer tissues and colon cancer cells.

Novel PEPA-functionalized graphene oxide for fire safety enhancement of polypropylene.

Polypropylene (PP) is a general-purpose plastic, but some applications are constrained by its high flammability. Thus, flame retardant PP is urgently demanded. In this article, intumescent flame retardant PP (IFRPP) composites with enhanced fire safety were prepared using 1-oxo-4-hydroxymethyl-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo [2.

Modified Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for type 2 diabetes mellitus in China.

Background/aims: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of modified Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methodology: Forty-five type 2 diabetes mellitus patients underwent modified Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at WeiFang People's Hospital. Data on patient demographics, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), body mass index (BMI), medication use, remission and hemoglobin A1c (HbAlc) were prospectively collected and analyzed.
