Article Abstract

Aim: To compare the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic colectomy (LAC) with Japanese D3 dissection for descending colon cancer (DCC) with those of open colectomy (OC).

Patients And Methods: Seventy-two patients who underwent OC or LAC with D3 dissection for clinical stage II/III DCC between September 2002 and June 2019 were evaluated in terms of short-term outcomes. The long-term outcomes of the 59 patients who underwent surgery between September 2002 and June 2016 were evaluated.

Results: Twenty-six patients underwent OC and 46 patients underwent LAC. The blood loss was significantly less in the LAC group. The complication rate was similar in both groups. The rates of 5-year overall survival (95.8% in the OC group vs. 89.9% in the LAC group) and relapse-free survival (79.2% in the OC group vs. 82.1% in the LAC group) were similar in both groups.

Conclusion: LAC is an acceptable treatment option for stage II/III DCC.

Background: Total mastectomy for breast cancer is an impactful procedure, and breast reconstruction plays a crucial role for women diagnosed with the disease.

Objectives: The objective of our study is to compare satisfaction, morbidity, and timelines of two breast reconstruction techniques after breast cancer: breast prosthesis and exclusive lipofilling.

Methods: This is a comparative, retrospective, unicentric study on patients who underwent total mastectomy between May 2014 and May 2020.

Background: Disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in high-grade brain tumors is characterized by contrast accumulation on diagnostic imaging. This window of opportunity study correlates contrast imaging features with the tumor distribution of BBB-permeable (levetiracetam) and -impermeable (cefazolin) drugs.

Methods: Patients with a clinical diagnosis of a high-grade brain tumor underwent MRI for surgical planning.

Objectives: Urinary calculi are characterized by a high recurrence rate, and patients' adherence to self-management after discharge directly affects health outcomes. Traditional offline follow-up models often face problems such as poor compliance and uneven allocation of medical resources, making it difficult to meet individualized health management needs. Remote follow-up provides a novel solution to optimize long-term management, improve health literacy, and enhance clinical outcomes.

Objectives: Patients with connective tissue diseases (CTD) have a high incidence of cardiac involvement, which often presents insidiously and can progress rapidly, making it one of the leading causes of death. Multiparametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a comprehensive quantitative evaluation of myocardial injury and is emerging as a valuable tool for detecting cardiac involvement in CTD. This study aims to investigate the correlations between CMR features and serological biomarkers in CTD patients, assess their potential clinical value, and further explore the impact of pre-CMR immunotherapy intensity on CMR-specific parameters, thereby evaluating the role of CMR in the early diagnosis of CTD-related cardiac involvement.

is a major cause of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in Chinese patients, but clinical outcomes for those with biallelic mutations remain unclear. This study aimed to describe the clinical manifestations of CH due to defect. One hundred eighty-one patients with primary CH were recruited initially and were subjected to genetic screening.
