Background: The necessity of computed tomography (CT) scan for detecting potential lymph node metastasis (LNM) in early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) before endoscopic and surgical treatments is under debate.
Methods: Patients with histologically proven ESCC limited to the mucosa or submucosa were examined retrospectively. Diagnostic performance of CT for detecting LNM was analyzed by comparing original CT reports with pathology reports.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating a predictive model for submucosal fibrosis in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) who are undergoing endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
- Researchers analyzed data from patients treated at Qilu Hospital, using logistic regression to identify risk factors and develop a nomogram.
- Results showed the model effectively predicted fibrosis risk with high accuracy, proving useful for endoscopists in clinical settings.
Background: The prognosis comparison between endoscopic therapy + partial splenic embolization (PSE) and Hassab's operation is unclear in the treatment of esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. This study aimed to compare the outcome of endoscopic therapy + PSE (EP) with a combination of splenectomy + pericardial devascularization procedure, known as Hassab's operation (SH) for esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis with hypersplenism.
Methods: We enrolled 328 patients, including 125 and 203 patients who underwent EP and SH, respectively.
Background: Sarcopenia is a common complication of liver cirrhosis and can be used for predicting dismal prognostic outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the role of sarcopenia in rebleeding and mortality of liver cirrhosis patients after endoscopic therapy.
Methods: The liver cirrhosis patients who received endoscopic treatment were enrolled.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between adipose tissue measured by CT scans and the outcomes of variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients undergoing endoscopic therapy.
- Results indicate that only the subcutaneous adipose tissue index (SATI) is significantly associated with higher risks of rebleeding and mortality, with low SATI levels linked to worse outcomes.
- It suggests that assessing SATI can help identify patients who may benefit from targeted nutritional interventions and improve risk classification.
Background: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of partial splenic embolization (PSE) combined with endoscopic therapy and endoscopic therapy alone in cirrhosis patients with acute variceal bleeding (AVB) and hypersplenism.
Methods: Cirrhosis patients with AVB who visited three hospitals from June 2016 to June 2022 were prospectively enrolled and randomly allocated to either the endoscopic therapy combined with PSE group (EP group) or the endoscopic intervention group (E group) in a 1:1 ratio. The primary endpoint of the study was re-bleeding of varices during follow-up, and the secondary endpoints were the recurrence of varices, death, and adverse events.
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and acute variceal bleeding (AVB) are frequent complications of cirrhosis. The efficacy, safety, and timing of anticoagulant treatment in cirrhotic patients with PVT and AVB are contentious issues. We aimed to establish the safety and efficacy of initiating nadroparin calcium-warfarin sequential (NWS) anticoagulation therapy early after esophageal variceal band ligation within PVT patients having cirrhosis and AVB.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLncRNA RPSAP52 is a newly identified functional molecular in several cancers, but its role in gastric cancer (GC) is currently unclear. This study aimed to investigate the biofunction of lncRNA RPSAP52 in GC. Quantitative polymerase-chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was employed to analyze the gene level of lncRNA RPSAP52 and miR-665.
