Background And Aims: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for pancreatic stones (P-ESWL) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are the preferred therapeutic approaches for painful chronic pancreatitis (CP) with pancreatic stones. This study aimed to report the short- and long-term outcomes following P-ESWL and ERCP in a large cohort with CP.
Methods: Patients with painful CP and pancreatic stones >5 mm in size, who underwent P-ESWL and subsequent ERCP between March 2011 and June 2018, were included in this retrospective-prospective mixed observational study.
Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening disease with a limited effectiveness and the potential mechanism remains unclear. LncRNA NEAT-2 is reported to be involved in the regulation of cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the function of NEAT-2 in sepsis.

Methods: ICP patients admitted to our hospital from January 2000 to December 2013 were enrolled in this retrospective-prospective cohort study and randomly assigned to the training and validation cohorts.
Article Synopsis
- - Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), developed in 1973, is commonly used to treat polyps, small adenomas, and early-stage cancers in the gastrointestinal tract.
- - Despite its proven safety, EMR can lead to complications, as illustrated by a case where a patient developed acute appendicitis following the procedure.
- - It is important to carefully monitor patients who experience postoperative abdominal pain after colorectal EMR, particularly those with potential fecaliths near the appendix.
Purpose: Pancreatic surgery is a complex operation that has been associated with severe intraoperative and postoperative complications, especially in patients with previous abdominal surgery (PAS). Our study aimed to assess the impact of PAS on pancreatic surgery.
Methods: A total of 1430 patients who underwent pancreatic surgery were included in this retrospective study and classified into the following 3 groups: previous upper abdominal surgery (PUAS) (n = 135); previous lower abdominal surgery (PLAS) (n = 161), and no history of abdominal surgery (non-PAS) (n = 1134).

Background: Analysis of the risk factors associated with functional delayed gastric emptying after distal gastric cancer surgery to provide a basis for further reduction of the incidence of this complication.
Methods: Total of 1382 patients with distal gastric cancer from January 2016 to October 2018 were enrolled. Correlation analysis was performed in 53 patients with FDGE by logistic regression.
Background: The status of lymph nodes in early gastric cancer is critical to make further clinical treatment decision, but the prediction of lymph node metastasis remains difficult before operation. This study aimed to develop a nomogram that contained preoperative factors to predict lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer patients.
Methods: This study analyzed the clinicopathologic features of 823 early gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy retrospectively, among which 596 patients were recruited in the training cohort and 227 patients in the independent validation cohort.
Tumor metastasis is the most dangerous stage in tumorigenesis and its evolution, which causes about 80% clinical death. However, common therapies including chemotherapy may increase the risk of tumor metastasis while killing cancer cells. Tumor metastasis is closely related to many factors in the tumor microenvironment, especially hypoxia.
