[Compliance with FOLFOX4 for Stage III colon cancer in the adjuvant setting].

Aims: The usefulness of oxaliplatin(L-OHP)as adjuvant chemotherapy for Stage III colon cancer has been shown in clinical trials, such as the MOSAIC trial. The Leucovorin, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin(FOLFOX)regimen has been recommended as adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer in Japan. In the MOSAIC trial, 74.

Primary adenocarcinoma of the fourth portion of the duodenum: "A case report and literature review".

Introduction: Primary adenocarcinoma of the 4th portion of the duodenum is reported less frequently than those other portions of the duodenum. Therefore, few reports discuss the diagnosis and treatment of this malignancy.

Presentation Of Case: A 54-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of nausea and vomiting after a meal.

Hepatobiliary cystadenocarcinoma with rapid growth: report of a case.

We describe a case of histologically proven hepatobiliary cystadenocarcinoma with an emphasis on the longterm clinical course. The patient was a 75-year-old man who had been diagnosed as having a simple hepatic cyst at our hospital and had been followed up by abdominal sonography (US) for about 10 years. However, the lesion subsequently showed a sudden increase in size and a marked change in US findings, i.

High incidence of reflux esophagitis observed by routine endoscopic examination after gastric pull-up esophagectomy.

A gastric tube has been widely used for reconstruction of the esophagus after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Reflux esophagitis after esophagectomy is frequently observed. Therefore we retrospectively investigated the risk factors for reflux esophagitis after gastric pull-up esophagectomy in 74 outpatients with thoracic esophageal cancer.

The lipolytic responsiveness to endotoxin in subcutaneous adipose tissue is greater than mesenteric adipose tissue.

In sepsis and endotoxemia, metabolism is characterized by accelerated catabolism. In the present study, lipolytic responsiveness of subcutaneous and mesenteric adipose tissue to the sub-lethal dose of endotoxin injection (5 mg/kg) was evaluated using microdialysis techniques in rats. All rats were urethane-anesthetized and implanted with microdialysis probes in their subcutaneous and mesenteric adipose tissue.
