Objective: To investigate the mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) in treating diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) by inhibiting the activation of Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and pyroptosis mediated via NLRP3/cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1 (caspase-1)/gasdermin D (GSDMD) signaling pathway.
Methods: Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups including the control, DGP model, EA, and MCC950 groups. The DGP model was established by a one-time high-dose intraperitoneal injection of 2% streptozotocin and a high-glucose and high-fat diet for 8 weeks.
Background: Totally robotic distal gastrectomy (TRDG) is being used more and more in gastric cancer (GC) patients. The study aims to evaluate the short-term efficacy of TRDG and robotic-assisted distal gastrectomy (RADG) in the treatment of GC.
Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical data of patients who underwent TRDG or RADG, of which 60 patients were included in the study: 30 cases of totally robotic and 30 cases of robotic-assisted.
Background: Having a gynecological tumor or undergoing treatment can be a traumatic experience for women, as it affects their self-image and sexual relationships and can lead to psychological reactions. Psychological adjustment following cancer occurrence remains a key issue among the survivors.
Aim: To examine the current status of quality of life (QoL), anxiety, and depression in patients with gynecological cancer and to analyze the factors associated with it.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the short-term outcomes of robotic-assisted natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSES) and transabdominal specimen extraction (TRSE) in patients undergoing median rectal cancer surgery, noting advancements in minimally invasive techniques.
- Data from 87 patients were analyzed, revealing that those in the NOSES group experienced shorter surgery times, faster recovery of gastrointestinal function, and less post-surgical pain, with no wound complications reported.
- Overall, both NOSES and TRSE showed similar effectiveness for treatment, but NOSES demonstrated advantages in recovery and fewer complications, suggesting it is a safe alternative for specimen extraction in this type of surgery.
Abnormal stratifin (SFN) expression is closely related to the progression of several human cancers, but the potential roles of SFN in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that SFN was upregulated in HCC cell lines and tissues and was positively associated with tumor size, poor differentiation, Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) stage, and vascular invasion. In addition, high expression levels of SFN were associated with poor overall survival and disease-free survival.

- Surgery is evolving with advances in technology, leading to minimally invasive techniques like Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction Surgery (NOSES), which is becoming increasingly popular worldwide.
- A study compared short-term outcomes of robotic-assisted NOSES and laparoscopic-assisted NOSES in 46 patients with middle rectal cancer, finding no major differences in clinicopathological data.
- Results showed that the robotic group experienced less blood loss, reduced postoperative complications, shorter recovery times, and better anal function compared to the laparoscopic group, indicating robotic assistance may enhance outcomes in NOSES procedures.
Introduction: Alismatis Rhizoma (AR) has been widely used to treat various diseases. Its complex chemical composition has caused certain difficulties in the analysis of this traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a method for the rapid classification and identification of the chemical constituents of AR.

Two hundred and sixty-seven cases of BPO performed PKEP from July 2008 to June 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Five-year postoperative data were collected and compared with the preoperative data.

Objective: To investigate the correlation of the expression of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 to the pathological grade of human prostate cancer.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 in 25 cases of prostate cancer tissues.
Results: The total positivity rates of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 were 80% and 76% in these cancer tissues, respectively.
