Background: The pathological complete response (ypCR) rate following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer remains low and lacks a universally accepted treatment protocol. Immunotherapy has achieved breakthrough progress.
Case Summary: We report two female patients with gastric cancer defined as clinical stage cT4N1-2M0.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) with an additional plug (LIFT-plug) in the treatment of transsphincteric anal fistula.
Summary Background Data: Both LIFT and LIFT-plug are recently reported effective alternatives of transsphincteric anal fistula.
Methods: This multicenter prospective randomized study (NCT01478139) was conducted at 5 university hospitals throughout China.
[Application of stapled transanal rectum resection in the treatment of obstructed defecation syndrome].
Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of stapled transanal rectum resection (STARR) in the treatment of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS).
Methods: Fifty-six patients with ODS who had rectocele and/or intussusception were treated with STARR from January 2007 to August 2008. The incidence of preoperative and postoperative symptoms of ODS was compared.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and practicality of using pelvic floor dynamic MRI combined with a homemade sacculus to treat obstructed defecation syndrome in women.
- Out of 109 female patients with pelvic floor disorders, dynamic MRI identified various issues like cystocele and rectocele more effectively than traditional defecography, especially in diagnosing enterocele.
- The findings suggest that dynamic MRI is a promising noninvasive tool for evaluating pelvic floor issues, but it works best when used alongside defecography to cover its limitations.
Background: Human acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been used successfully for the treatment of severe burns, ureter support, and abdominal wall reconstruction. This study was designed to evaluate the mechanism of ADM in the closure of anal fistula in an experimental porcine model.
Study Design: The fistula-in-ano model was created in the porcine model and treated with ADM in 14 animals.
Deep venous thrombosis after gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma: a case report.
World J Gastroenterol
February 2009
The treatment of gastric carcinoma consists of neoadjuvant chemoradiation, partial gastrectomy, subtotal gastrectomy, total gastrectomy, extended resection, and postoperative chemotherapy. Currently, gastrectomy and extended lymphadenectomy is the optimal choice for late gastric carcinoma. Postoperative complications are common after total gastrectomy including hemorrhage, anastomotic leakage, fistula, and obstruction.

World J Gastroenterol
August 2008
Aim: To investigate a new technique of the anorectal fistula treatment with acellular extracellular matrix (AEM).
Methods: Thirty patients with anorectal fistula were treated with AEM. All fistula tracts and primary openings were identified using conventional fistula probe.
Aim: To report the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of acute rejection in the first case of living-related small bowel transplantation with a long-term survival in China.
Methods: A 18-year-old boy with short gut syndrome underwent living-related small bowel transplantation, with the graft taken from his father (44-year old). A segment of 150-cm distal small bowel was resected from the donor.
