Bacteriophage (phage) KHP40 was previously isolated from the supernatant of a culture of Helicobacter pylori KMT83 cells. In this study, we analysed the infection characteristics of KHP40, phage release pattern from KMT83 cells, and state of KHP40 DNA in KMT83 cells. The findings revealed that KHP40 phage showed varied adsorption efficiencies for different strains, long latent periods, and small burst sizes.

- The study aimed to assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on pancreatic cancer surgeries, specifically pancreaticoduodenectomy, in Japan.
- Researchers analyzed data from 22,255 patients over several years, determining that the number of surgeries actually increased, despite the pandemic's challenges.
- Findings indicated that complication and mortality rates remained stable and within normal ranges, suggesting that the healthcare system effectively managed pancreatic cancer treatment during the pandemic.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate a new endoscopic clip that emits near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence to help identify cancer location during robot-assisted surgery for gastrointestinal cancer.
- * Six patients had these NIR fluorescent clips placed before surgery, and the detection of fluorescence was tested during the procedure.
- * The clips successfully emitted detectable fluorescence in all patients, improving the accuracy of finding resection lines without significant variances in patient demographics.
Background: A closed-loop bedside-type artificial pancreas for perioperative glucose control has previously been introduced. However, artificial pancreas therapy was often interrupted due to continuous blood sampling failure. We developed an interprofessional work manual to reduce the interruption time of artificial pancreatic therapy for perioperative blood glucose control due to continuous blood sampling failure.

We aimed to investigate the effects of the pandemic on morbidity and mortality following hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: We identified patients who underwent hepatectomy for HCC between 2018 and 2021 from the Japanese National Clinical Database (NCD).
