Introduction: Early oral feeding (EOF) has been shown to improve postoperative recovery for many surgeries. However, surgeons are still skeptical about EOF after gastric cancer surgery due to possible side effects. This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of EOF in patients after gastric cancer surgery.

Background: The pathological results obtained from endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) do not always align with the findings of postoperative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Furthermore, as ESD becomes more widespread, the number of noncurative endoscopic cases increases; thus, an accurate preoperative diagnosis and an appropriate treatment method are crucial. The purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors for postoperative pathological upgrading and noncurative resection and to gather experience in clinical and pathological diagnosis.

Background: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) seldom involves the kidney, and it is even more uncommon for the kidney to be the primary renal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (PRNHL). Due to its rarity, PRNHL is often confused with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Tumor collision refers to the simultaneous development of two histologically distinct malignancies in the same organ or space.

In order to develop uniform diagnostic standards and reporting terminology, the International Academy of Cytology and the American Society of Cytopathology have recommended the establishment of the International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytopathology (ISRSFC). ISRSFC has 5 diagnostic categories: non-diagnostic (ND), negative for malignancy (NFM), atypia of unknown significance (AUS), suspicious for malignancy (SFM), and malignant (MAL). So far, very few studies have evaluated the risk of malignancy (ROM) and performance characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy) of different categories.

Background And Objective: It has been shown that macrophages play an important role in the development of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and eventually lead to multiple organ failure (MOF). Clodronate-liposome selectively depleted macrophages. This study was to investigate the role of renal macrophage infiltration in acute renal injury in rats with SAP and to evaluate the potential of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis.
