Background: Retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma originating in the retroperitoneal space. Although surgery is the standard treatment, recurrence remains frequent. In this study, we aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of total (ipsilateral) retroperitoneal lipectomy (TRL) compared to traditional complete resection (CR) for primary RPLS.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with primary RPLS treated at our center between January 2014 and December 2020. Univariate and multivariable Cox regression analyses assessed the impact of demographic, operative, and clinicopathological variables on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Kaplan-Meier plots illustrated RFS and OS, and the log-rank test compared time-to-event distributions.

Results: A total of 81 patients were included in the final analysis: 37 in the CR group and 44 in the TRL group. Demographic and clinicopathologic parameters were comparable between the two groups. Post-operative morbidity occurred in 30.9% of cases, with 15 (40.5%) in the CR group and 10 (22.7%) in the TRL group (P=0.086). There were 9 cases of severe complications at grade 3 or higher, with 5 cases in the CR group and 4 cases in the TRL group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.314). The TRL group demonstrated improved RFS and OS, particularly among dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) patients.

Conclusions: Total retroperitoneal lipectomy (TRL) appears to be a safe procedure that enhances survival outcomes in patients with primary RPLS. Further studies are needed to validate these findings.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the effects of ceftriaxone and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) on protecting the spinal cord from acute spinal infection (ASI) in rats.
  • Results showed that the combination treatment of ceftriaxone and ADMSCs led to significantly lower inflammatory markers and bacterial counts compared to the individual treatments, indicating better inflammation control and tissue preservation.
  • By day 28, the combination therapy demonstrated superior results in protecting vertebral bone and spinal cord integrity compared to each treatment alone, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for ASI.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. While patient-reported barriers have been previously described, few studies have analyzed how patients' social needs affect screening rates.

Methods: This cross-sectional study includes 3,443 Kaiser Permanente (KP) patients ages 50 to 75 years who completed the 2020 KP National Social Needs Survey.

Replacing dietary carbohydrate with protein and fat improves lipoprotein subclass profile and liver fat in type 2 diabetes independent of body weight: evidence from 2 randomized controlled trials.

Background: Dyslipidemia with elevated concentrations of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins (TRLs), small-dense LDL, and reduced HDL is linked to hepatic steatosis and promotes atherogenesis in type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Objectives: We aimed to analyze whether moderate carbohydrate restriction reduces liver fat in T2D independent of changes in body weight and whether this is accompanied by parallel improvements in plasma lipoprotein subclasses.

Methods: We determined the density profile of circulating lipoproteins in patients with T2D from 2 previous randomized controlled trials.
