The response to pericapsular soft tissue and pelvic realignment therapy may be partially predicted by the relevant factors influencing the program's response of the candidates with hip osteoarthritis for joint replacement.

Objective: To explore the risk factors for discontinuation of pericapsular soft tissue and pelvic realignment (PSTP-R) therapy derived from Shiatsu in the candidates with osteoarthritis for total hip replacement (THR) (i.e., candidates for total hip replacement) treated from 2017 to 2020, and to identify the effect modifiers of PSTP-R therapy for patients who continued therapy for 6 months.

Hydroxylated-Benz[a]anthracenes Induce Two Apoptosis-Related Gene Expressions in the Liver of the Nibbler Fish .

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known to have toxic effects on fish. In this study, we examined the effects of benz[a]anthracene (BaA), a type of PAH, on fish liver metabolism. Nibbler fish () were intraperitoneally injected with BaA (10 ng/g body weight) four times over a 10-day period.

Undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma at the anastomosis after ileocecal resection for colon cancer: A case report.

Introduction: Spindle cell sarcoma (SCS) is a sarcoma subtype rarely described in the abdominal cavity, and with a worse prognosis compared with that at other sites. We report a case of SCS occurring at the anastomosis after ileal resection for colorectal cancer.

Presentation Of Case: An 86-year-old woman with a chief complaint of abdominal pain had undergone ileal resection, D2 dissection, and hand-sewn anastomosis in 2011 to treat papillary stage I adenocarcinoma.

Predictors of tolerability for postoperative adjuvant S1 plus docetaxel chemotherapy for gastric cancer: a multicenter retrospective study.

Background: Adjuvant docetaxel plus S1 (DS) chemotherapy after gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection is the standard treatment for stage III gastric cancer in Japan; however, some patients are unable to receive adequate drug administration because of the deterioration of their conditions. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between tolerability for postoperative adjuvant DS chemotherapy and prognosis, and the factors affecting tolerability.

Methods: This retrospective study involved patients with stage III gastric cancer who underwent curative resection between 2018 and 2021 from a multicenter database.

Transcriptomic analysis of sexually dimorphic cypris larvae of the rhizocephalan barnacle Peltogasterella gracilis.

Peltogasterella gracilis (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala), a crustacean parasite of hermit crabs, displays genotypic sex determination. Its larvae are planktonic, and female larvae settle on the host. Subsequently, the females control the host's behavior by spreading a root-like structure called "the interna" within the host's body, and form sacs containing eggs called "the externae" outside the host's body.
