A novel cell-wall polysaccharide derived from the stipe of Agaricus bisporus inhibits mouse melanoma proliferation and metastasis.

Malignant melanoma is an invasive and highly aggressive skin cancer that-if diagnosed-poses a serious threat to the patient's health and life. In this work, a novel purified cell-wall polysaccharide (termed Abwp) was obtained from the discarded stipe of Agaricus bisporus (A. bisporus) and characterized to be a novel homogeneous polysaccharide consisted of a β-(1 → 4)- glucosyl backbone with β-(1 → 2) and (1 → 6)-d-glucosyl side-chains.

Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy in Oncogene-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Multicenter Study.

Background: Preoperative immunotherapy has shed light on the management of resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, whether neoadjuvant immunotherapy benefits patients with oncogene-positive NSCLC remains unknown.

Methods: Data were retrieved from 4 institutions in the period from August 2018 to May 2021.

Response surface optimization of conditions for culturing Azotobacter chroococcum in Agaricus bisporus industrial wastewater.

In the present study, the conditions for Azotobacter chroococcum fermentation using Agaricus bisporus wastewater as the culture medium were optimized. We analyzed the total number of living A. chroococcum in the fermentation broth, using multispectral imaging flow cytometry.

Giant liposarcoma of the esophagus: A case report.

Liposarcomas rarely develop in the aerodigestive tract. Here, we present a primary esophageal liposarcoma that was discovered between the T3 and T7 levels of the esophagus during right pleural exploration of a 51-year-old male patient. The patient had presented with non-specific symptoms, including progressive dysphagia over the previous 6 mo, without complaints of chest or epigastric pain, regurgitation, or weight loss.

[Effect of different ways of insulin infusion in parenteral nutrition patients on activation and concentration of insulin and blood glucose control:a prospective randomized comparison study].

Objective: To compare activation and concentration of insulin, and blood glucose control in patients between insulin added into "all in one" bags and syringes at parenteral nutrition (PN).

Methods: From April 2006 to August 2006, 20 consecutive patients after gastrointestinal operations were recruited and randomized to instillation group and pump group. In instillation group, the insulin was directly added into PN and transfused.

[Injuries after lobectomy: a prospective randomized comparison of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and mini-thoracotomy].

Objective: To compare the differences of injuries and recovery between video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and mini-thoracotomy (MT) in patients with clinical early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after lobectomy.

Methods: From March 2004 to December 2006, 47 consecutive patients with early stage NSCLC with a diameter of tumor less than 6 cm were recruited and randomized to VATS group and MT group. Incision length, duration of operation and intraoperative blood loss were recorded.

[Diagnosis and therapeutics of 24 cases of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma].

Background & Objective: Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma (PSH) is an uncommon benign lung tumor. The study was to investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of PSH in order to promote the recognition of this disease.

Methods: Data of 24 pathologically confirmed PSH patients treated in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from Jan.

[Cytokine responses after lobectomy: a prospective randomized comparison of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and minimal incision thoracotomy].

Background & Objective: The cytokine network plays a pivotal role in inducing acute-phase inflammatory and immunologic responses to surgical trauma. Whether lesser release of cytokines by mini-invasive operation can reduce acute-phase responses and better preserve immune functions needs to be explored. This prospective randomized study was to compare the effects of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and minimal incision thoracotomy (MIT) on serum levels of cytokines after lobectomy for clinical early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

[Influence of unexpected simultaneous splenectomy on postoperative complications and prognosis of patients undergoing radical esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma].

Background & Objective: Unexpected splenectomy is sometimes performed simultaneously with radical esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma because of spleen injury or anatomical abnormity. This study was to investigate the influence of unexpected simultaneous splenectomy on postoperative complications and prognosis of patients undergoing radical esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma.

Methods: Clinical data of 843 esophageal carcinoma patients, underwent esophagectomy (R0 resection) at Cancer Center of Sun Yat-sen University from Aug.

[Influence of perioperative hypertension on postoperative cardiovascular complications in chest cancer patients].

Background & Objective: The incidence of perioperative hypertension is increasing in recent decades. Hypertension increases the risk of anaesthesia and surgical operation, and also affects the prognosis of patients apparently. This study was to investigate the influence of perioperative hypertension on postoperative cardiovascular complications in chest cancer patients.

[Quality of life after lobectomy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer--video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery versus minimal incision thoracotomy].

Background & Objective: Quality of life (QOL) after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for clinical early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has seldom been systematically studied. This study was to compare the QOL in patients with clinical early stage NSCLC after VATS or minimal incision thoracotomy (MIT) lobectomy, and to explore the characteristic of QOL after VATS lobectomy.

Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted.

[Surgical treatment efficacy of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma: a retrospective analysis of 130 patients].

Background & Objective: Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is a well-differentiated lung adenocarcinoma occurring in the periphery of the lung and growing along an intact interstitial framework. There are controversies about the surgical treatment efficacy of BAC. This study was to explore the surgical treatment efficacy of BAC.
