The aim of this study is to determine the role of two prognostic factors, the neoadjuvant rectal (NAR) score and the downstaging depth score (DDS), in predicting survival in patients with gastric cancer who received neoadjuvant therapy and underwent curative gastrectomy.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 129 patients who had been diagnosed with primary gastric cancer and underwent radical gastrectomy after receiving neoadjuvant therapy.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Dermalix® (Dx) on wound healing and anastomotic leakage in a rat model of end-to-end colon anastomosis.
Methods: The study was carried out on 40 rats, as divided into three groups, including a negative control group (n=10, laparotomy only) control group (n=15, colon anastomosis), and the experimental group (n=15, colon anastomosis plus Dx applied to anastomo-sis site). The rats were sacrificed on the 3rd post-operative day, and resected colon segments were evaluated for bursting pressure (mmHg) using an infusion pump set-up and for pathological parameters of wound healing including neutrophil infiltration, epithelial regeneration, granulation tissue formation, local inflammatory response, neovascularization, and foreign body reaction.
