Elasticity‐Driven Nanomechanical Interaction to Improve the Targeting Ability of Lipid Nanoparticles in the Malignant Tumor Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The elasticity of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) is essential to their tumor‐targeting efficacy. Softer LNPs penetrate tumors faster and more easily enter into softer cancer cells, while stiffer LNPs show prolonged retention in stiffer tumors. The presence of protumoral M2 macrophages enhances the LNPs uptake into stiffer cancer cells, facilitating ...

A Novel Cranial Bone Transport Technique Repairs Skull Defect and Minimizes Brain Injury Outcome in Traumatic Brain Injury Rats

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel, safe, and effective surgical technique: Cranial bone transport (CBT) to improve traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes in rats. CBT significantly accelerated skull defect bone repair in addition to its promoting effects on neurological function recovery. This work provides an alternative therapy for patients suffering from

Perioperative outcomes of esophagectomy after doublet versus docetaxel‐based triplet neoadjuvant chemotherapy in older patients: A nationwide inpatient database study in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this nationwide inpatient database study of 5229 patients aged 70–79 years who underwent esophagectomy for cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, overlap propensity score weighting analysis showed that neoadjuvant docetaxel‐based triplet regimen (docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5‐fluorouracil) was not associated with a higher incidence of perioperative ...

International Comparison of Geriatric‐Associated Variables in Major Gastroenterological Surgery Between National Clinical Database and American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Geriatric surgical risk factors and outcomes were compared between the US and Japanese databases. Geriatric‐associated preoperative variables and outcomes similarly increased with age. Mobility and functional domains differed between the two databases. ABSTRACT Backgrounds Incidence of malignant disease in older patients has been increasing.

Influence of Facility Size on Perioperative Outcomes in Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for 14 152 Patients With Esophageal Cancer Based on the Japanese National Clinical Database: A Multicenter Cohort Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter study investigated 14 152 minimally invasive esophagectomies (MIEs) using data from the Japanese National Clinical Database and showed a significantly lower operative mortality rate in high‐volume centers than in low‐volume centers. However, no differences in morbidity rates were found between facility sizes.

A Novel International Endoscopic Sphenoid Surgery Classification (IESSC): A Delphi Consensus

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Advancements in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery created a need for standardized terminology to describe sphenoid sinus surgery. Although classification systems exist for other sinuses, one for endoscopic sphenoid sinus surgery is lacking.
