Objectives: The Cancer Control Act requires the maintenance of regional cooperation pathways (RCP) for cancer treatment. In 2008, we started RCP for early detection of new gastric cancer after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). In gastric cancer treatment, RCP after surgical resection had been widely used, but little is known about RCP after ESD.

This study aimed to compare the usefulness of TXI and white light imaging (WLI) for diagnosing gastritis. We retrospectively prepared one image set with 22 endoscopic images acquired by WLI and TXI from 60 consecutive patients individually.

- - A vascular intervention simulation model was developed using a 3D-printed transparent flexible resin, which was then compared to porcine arteries in terms of mechanical properties like elastic modulus and friction.
- - The study found that the resin was significantly stiffer than porcine arteries, and as the resin cured longer, its transparency and adhesive strength decreased, while porcine arteries maintained lower adhesive strength overall.
- - Coating the resin with silicone made its surface friction comparable to that of porcine arteries, indicating that this resin could be effectively used for realistic vascular models in simulations.
