Combined effect of frailty and sarcopenia on postoperative complications in older adults undergoing curative surgery for hepato‐biliary‐pancreatic cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
A multivariable logistic regression model was performed using covariates that were significant in the bivariable analyses, including bile duct cancer, longer operative times, and greater blood loss. Prefrail or frail status combined with sarcopenia remained significant in this model (OR 4.74; 95% CI, 1.10–20.29; p = 0.04).

A history of gastrectomy is a risk factor for choledocholithiasis in patients undergoing cholecystectomy: A single center retrospective study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study suggests that gastrectomy is a risk factor for choledocholithiasis. Especially in terms of the differences in reconstruction methods, the median time from gastrectomy to development of choledocholithiasis was 5.5 years for Roux‐en‐Y, which was significantly faster than 20 years for Billroth I and 35 years for Billroth II ...

Conjugated polymers as photocatalysts for hydrogen therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Conjugated polymers, including linear polymers and crosslinked conjugated materials, are promising photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution due to their excellent optical properties. Hydrogen therapy based on photocatalytic hydrogen evolution presented significant effects in the fields of anti‐inflammatory, free radical scavenging, and cancer treatment ...

Unrecognized liver cirrhosis is common and associated with worse survival in hepatocellular carcinoma: A nationwide cohort study of 3473 patients

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 293, Issue 2, Page 184-199, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Data on unrecognized liver cirrhosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are derived mainly from cohorts with a risk of selection bias. Objectives In a population‐based cohort study we aimed to determine the proportion, characteristics, and prognosis of HCC in patients with unrecognized cirrhosis.

Gallbladder papillary neoplasms share pathological features with intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct

Oncotarget, 2017
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) has been widely recognized. However, the knowledge of intracystic papillary neoplasm of the gallbladder (IPNG) including papillary adenoma and adenocarcinoma is not well defined. In this study, we compared the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features between 32 IPNG cases and 32 IPNB ...

Incorporating Clinical Examination Skills Into a Preclinical Anatomy Course: A Method for Facilitating Engagement and Interest

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomy instruction is enhanced when students are engaged and interested in course material, and the relevance of the subject matter to their academic success and professional careers is emphasized. We developed a learning activity for a pre‐clinical anatomy course using the clinical skills of inspection and palpation of a cadaver donor to ...

Copper in cancer: friend or foe? Metabolism, dysregulation, and therapeutic opportunities

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Copper, one of the essential nutrients for the human body, acts as an electron relay in multiple pathways due to its redox properties. Both deficiencies and excesses of copper lead to cellular fragility. Therefore, it can manifest pro‐ and anti‐cancer properties in tumors. Therefore, it is crucial to clarify the copper activity within the cell.

Development of extrahepatic bile ducts and mechanisms of tumorigenesis: Lessons from mouse models

Pathology International, Volume 72, Issue 12, Page 589-605, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The biliary system is a highly branched tubular network consisting of intrahepatic bile ducts (IHBDs) and extrahepatic bile ducts (EHBDs). IHBDs are derived from hepatic progenitor cells, while EHBDs originate directly from the endoderm through a separate branching morphogenetic process.
