Objective: Recent studies have demonstrated that the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is relevant to abnormal gut health. However, there is a lack of studies that have explicitly explored the link between fecal incontinence (FI) and DII. The current study aims to explore the relationship between DII and FI.

Methods: This study included computed tomography images and clinical data of patients from three prospective studies.
Background: The long-term dynamic recurrence hazard of locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) in the clinical setting of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) remains unclear.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the dynamic recurrence risk of LAGC in patients who received ACT or not.
Methods: The study assessed data from patients with LAGC who underwent radical gastrectomy between January, 2010 and October, 2015.
Background: Due to lacking evidence on surveillance for gastric cancer (GC), this study aimed to determine the optimal postsurgical surveillance strategy for pathological stage (pStage) II/III GC patients and compare its cost-effectiveness with traditional surveillance strategies.
Methods: Prospectively collected data from stage II/III GC patients ( n =1661) who underwent upfront surgery at a large-volume tertiary cancer center in China (FJMUUH cohort) between January 2010 and October 2015. For external validation, two independent cohorts were included, which were composed of 380 stage II/III GC patients at an tertiary cancer center in U.
Importance: It is largely unclear whether robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) is cost-effective for locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC).
Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of RDG, laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG), and open distal gastrectomy (ODG) for patients with LAGC.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance baseline characteristics.
Background: Laparoscopic D2 lymph node dissection (LND) for gastric cancer has a wide range and high difficulty. In the past, the quality of surgery was often judged by the time of the operation or the amount of blood loss, but the analysis based on surgical video was rarely reported. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the quality of laparoscopic D2 LND for gastric cancer and postoperative complications.

To investigate the influence of the GLIM criteria on the long-term efficacy of radical gastric cancer surgery and establish a nomogram to predict the long-term prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1121 patients with gastric cancer in our department from 2010 to 2013 was performed.
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors are increasingly used in neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced gastric cancer. However, the effect of body composition on the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy has not been reported.
Methods: The computed tomography (CT) images and clinicopathological data of 101 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy (NCI) from 2019 to 2021 were collected.
Background: Due to the high technical requirements of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LRG), establishing an effective training system to promote clinical technology and operation specifications is necessary. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a national advanced training program for LRG (ATP-LRG).
Materials And Methods: The contents of the training include the following: 1) detailed technique descriptions; 2) prevention and solving of intraoperative complications; 3) live surgery performance; 4) theory and practice of clinical research; 5) comments on trainees' videos; and 6) questions, answers, and discussions.
Background: Effective classifiers for the prediction of individual adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) benefits are scarce.
Purpose: This study aimed to construct a useful classifier to predict the AC benefit and recurrence hazard based on preoperative hematological indices through a multicenter database.
Methods And Results: Multivariate analysis revealing GCRF (comprehensive deep learning classifier) as an independent prognostic factor associated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).
Background: The efficacy and benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) for patients with gastric cancer pT3N0M0 remain controversial.
Methods: We prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed 235 patients with pT3N0M0 gastric cancer who underwent radical resection between February 2010 and January 2016. Patients were divided into two groups: the surgery-alone (SA) group (n = 82) and the AC group (n = 153).
Introduction: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in tumour initiation and progression. LncRNA OIP5-AS1 is a potential oncogene in many types of human malignancies, but its biological functions in gastric cancer (GC) remain to be further elucidated.
Material And Methods: The expression levels of OIP5-AS1 and miR-186 in GC tissues and cell lines were detected by RT-qPCR analysis.
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are aberrantly expressed in various cancers. Fer-1-like protein 4 (FER1L4), one of lncRNAs, plays a role as tumor suppressor in various human cancers and can be regulated by microRNA. However, the role and function of FER1L4 in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown.
