Background: Patients with early-stage lung cancer who underwent R0 resection often encounter disease recurrence, especially during the early phase; thus, it is deemed vital to determine the predictive factors for recurrence after surgery. In this study, we aimed to identify the independent variables associated with recurrence after complete surgical resection of pathological stage I lung adenocarcinoma.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 169 patients who underwent pulmonary resection for primary lung adenocarcinoma pathological stage I with curative intent lung cancer surgery from 2015 to December 2018 at our institution for information on the recurrence of the disease.

Results: Per the multivariate analysis, the presence of micropapillary pattern and vessel invasion were found to be independent predictors of disease recurrence after surgery (odds ratio [OR]: 9.36, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.42-36.2, P = 0.0012; and OR: 4.50, 95% CI: 1.52-13.4, P = 0.0068, respectively). Vessel invasion was also found to be an independent predictor of disease recurrence after surgery within a year (OR 11.4, 95% CI 3.08-42.5, P = 0.0003).

Conclusions: The presence of vessel invasion may help in distinguishing patients with the highest risk of early-phase disease recurrence after surgery. Patients with stage I adenocarcinoma with vessel invasion should undergo intensive surveillance after surgery.

Fabricating complex hierarchical structures mimicking natural vessels and arteries is pivotal for addressing problems of cardiovascular diseases. Various fabrication strategies have been explored to achieve this goal, each contributing unique advantages and challenges to the development of functional vascular grafts. In this study, a three-layered tubular structure resembling vascular grafts was fabricated using biocompatible and biodegradable copolymers of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) using advanced manufacturing techniques.

Major vessel invasion, particularly involving the portal and superior mesenteric veins, poses significant challenges during the radical resection of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers. Oncovascular surgery is essential for curative outcomes, and often requires portomesenteric vein reconstruction. Techniques, such as lateral venorrhaphy, patch repair, end-to-end anastomosis, and interposition grafting, have been employed.

Background: Extubation of the coronary guiding catheter may affect flow and pressure measurements in the coronary vessel during invasive coronary angiography (ICA).

Aim: This study aims to investigate the impact of guiding catheter extubation on fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary flow reserve (CFR), and the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR).

Methods: This predefined subgroup analysis of the Dan-NICAD 2 study included patients with chronic coronary syndrome referred to ICA based on a coronary computed tomography angiography.

Background Topical steroid-dependent or damaged face (TSDF) is a common condition where the widespread availability of over-the-counter topical corticosteroid (TCS)-containing products leads to their misuse and addiction. Prolonged use of these steroids on the face can result in significant side effects. Early diagnosis and cessation of steroid use are important.

Background: Timely and accurate evaluation of the patient's pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) is of great significance for the treatment of congenital heart disease. Currently, there is no non-invasive gold standard method for evaluating PAP.

Aim: To assess the prognostic value of lipocalin-2 (LCN2) in relation to PAP in patients with congenital heart disease associated with pulmonary artery hypertension.
