Article Synopsis
  • Proximal gastrectomy is becoming popular because it helps preserve stomach function, but it can lead to complications that impact quality of life, prompting the need for better surgical techniques.
  • A new study will compare the left-open single-flap technique with the double-flap technique in a multicenter randomized trial involving 250 patients to see which method reduces surgical difficulties and complications.
  • The goal is to provide evidence for improving surgical reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy, contributing to better clinical practices and guidelines.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in 1,750 patients with gastric and colorectal cancers, identifying how often it occurs and the associated risk factors, particularly before surgery.
  • - Out of the patients reviewed, 73 were found to have DVT, resulting in a prevalence rate of 4.17%, with significant risk factors including being female, stage IV cancer, and higher ASA class.
  • - The findings suggest that preoperative venous ultrasonography can effectively detect DVT, helping to prevent postoperative complications like pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), making it a vital tool in surgical planning for these cancer patients.

Background: Appropriate gastrointestinal reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complications in patients with proximal early gastric cancer. However, there is still great controversy about the choice of digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy, and there is no clinical consensus on the choice of digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy. Currently, there is a lack of large-sample, prospective, randomized controlled studies to compare the efficacy of Kamikawa, double-tract reconstruction, and tube-like stomach reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy.

Notch signaling is critically involved in neural development, but the downstream effectors remain incompletely understood. In this study, we cultured neurospheres from Nestin-Cre-mediated conditional Rbp-j knockout (Rbp-j cKO) and control embryos and compared their miRNA expression profiles using microarray. Among differentially expressed miRNAs, miR-342-5p showed upregulated expression as Notch signaling was genetically or pharmaceutically interrupted.
