Objective: We determined the anastomotic site during gastric tube reconstruction in esophagectomy according to the "90-to 60-s rule" using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography. We evaluated its safety and efficacy in a prospective multicenter setting.
Methods: We enrolled 129 patients who underwent subtotal esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. ICG fluorescence angiography was performed after making a wide gastric tube, and the time from the initial enhancement of the right gastroepiploic artery to the tip of the gastric tube was used as a parameter. Esophago-gastro anastomosis was made at the area that was enhanced within 90 s (preferably within 60 s). The enhancement time and the incidence of anastomotic leakage were compared.
Results: In all cases, anastomosis was made at the site enhanced within 90 s. Anastomotic leakage was found in only 4 (3.1%) of 129 cases; specifically, it was detected in 3 (2.4%) of 126 cases whose anastomotic site was enhanced within 60 s and in 1 (33.3%) of 3 cases where the enhancement time exceeded 60 s (p = 0.09).
Conclusions: Determining the anastomotic site using the 90-to 60-s rule with ICG imaging in gastric tube reconstruction helps reduce the rate of anastomotic leakage.

Purpose: To analyze the incidence and risk factors of postoperative fever (POF) in gastrointestinal cancer (GIC), discuss the influence of POF on short-term clinical outcomes, and predict anastomotic leakage (AL) based on POF characteristics.
Methods: Overall, 1362 patients that underwent radical resection for GIC were retrospectively analyzed. POF was defined as a postoperative temperature ≥38°C during hospitalization.

Background: Patients with gastric cancer (GC) are prone to lymph node metastasis (LNM), which is an important factor for recurrence and poor prognosis of GC. Nowadays, more and more studies have confirmed that exosomes can participate in tumor lymphangiogenesis. An in-depth exploration of the pathological mechanism in the process of LNM in GC may provide effective targets and improve the diagnosis and treatment effect.

Angiogenesis, a meticulously regulated process essential for both normal development and pathological conditions, necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the endothelial mechanisms governing its progression. Leveraging the zebrafish model and NgAgo knockdown system to identify target genes influencing angiogenesis, our study highlights the significant role of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and its receptor (GIPR) in this process. While GIP has been extensively studied for its insulinotropic and glucagonotropic effects, its role in angiogenesis remains unexplored.

Objective: To compare low-cost "Suction Tube Uterine Tamponade" (STUT) treatment for refractory postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) with uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) using a randomized feasibility study.
Methods: After verbal assent, we allocated participants with refractory PPH by randomly ordered envelopes to STUT or routine UBT at 10 hospitals in South Africa and one tertiary referral center in Colombia between January 10, 2020, and May 3, 2024. In the STUT group, we inserted a 24 FG Levin stomach tube into the uterine cavity and applied suction.
