Rethinking Perioperative Corticosteroids in Esophageal Cancer Surgery: Evidence From an Integrative Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Esophagectomy remains a highly invasive procedure associated with substantial postoperative morbidity. Pulmonary complications, anastomotic leakage, and in‐hospital mortality are of particular concern. Perioperative corticosteroids are often administered to attenuate excessive inflammatory responses; however, the clinical impact in ...

Risks and Benefits of Feeding Enterostomy Creation During Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: A Propensity‐Weighted Analysis Using the Japanese National Clinical Database

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Feeding enterostomy during MIE was evaluated in 19 054 patients from the Japanese NCD using propensity weighting. Enterostomy was associated with higher reoperation and respiratory complications, but lower delayed gastric emptying and deep vein thrombosis, with no significant difference in overall bowel obstruction.

Outcomes after pneumonectomy versus limited lung resection in adults with traumatic lung injury. [PDF]

, 2020
Pneumonectomy after traumatic lung injury (TLI) is associated with shock, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and eventual right ventricular failure. Historically, trauma pneumonectomy (TP) mortality rates ranged between 53 and 100%.

Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis on the Efficacy and Safety of Salvage Esophagectomy for T4 Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This meta‐analysis of 208 cases shows that salvage esophagectomy for cT4 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma achieves a 72% R0 resection rate, offering a curative pathway for selected patients. However, it remains a high‐risk procedure with an 18% anastomotic leak rate and 30% major complications (Clavien–Dindo ≥ III).

FAM83A-AS1 predicts severe development of non-small cell lung cancer and adverse postoperative prognosis of thoracotomy

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Thoracotomy is a common treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the significant trauma from this procedure can limit patients’ postoperative prognosis.

Hepatocyte growth factor gene therapy reduces ventricular arrhythmia in animal models of myocardial ischemia. [PDF]

, 2005
It was recently reported that gene therapy using hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has the potential to preserve cardiac function after myocardial ischemia. We speculated that this HGF gene therapy could also prevent ventricular arrhythmia.

Tunable Regional Targeting of Self‐Assembling Peptide Nanomaterials in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
In a rat model of acute myocardial infarction, intravascular delivery of peptide nanofibers with a collagen‐targeting peptide bound to the infarct vasculature while globular peptide nanoparticles penetrated into the infarct area. This study demonstrated that size, shape, and surface chemistry of nanomaterials control the delivery location within the ...
