Article Abstract

(1) : Nivolumab plus chemotherapy is established as a first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). While mFOLFOX6 is commonly used for AGC with severe peritoneal metastasis, the efficacy of nivolumab combined with it remains uncertain. We evaluated the outcomes of nivolumab plus mFOLFOX6 for AGC with severe peritoneal metastasis in clinical practice. (2) : This multicenter retrospective study was conducted between December 2021 and June 2023. We investigated AGC patients with massive ascites or inadequate oral intake due to severe peritoneal metastasis and who received nivolumab plus mFOLFOX6. (3) : Among 106 patients treated with nivolumab plus chemotherapy, 21 (19.8%) had severe peritoneal metastasis, with 14 receiving nivolumab plus mFOLFOX6. The median progression-free survival was 7.4 months (95%CI 1.9-10.1), and the median overall survival was 10.7 months (95%CI 5.3-NA), with four patients (28.5%) surviving more than 12 months. Improved ascites and oral intake were observed in 6/14 patients (42.8%) and 10/11 patients (90.9%), respectively. The major grade 3 or more adverse events included leukopenia (28.5%) and neutropenia (21.4%), with no severe immune-related adverse events reported. (4) : The safety and moderate efficacy of nivolumab plus mFOLFOX6 were suggested even in AGC patients with severe peritoneal metastasis.

Lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR/TNFRSF3) signaling plays a crucial role in immune defense. Notably, LTβR-deficient (LTβR) mice exhibit severe defects in innate and adaptive immunity against various pathogens and succumb to infection. Here, we investigated the bone marrow (BM) and peritoneal cavity (PerC) compartments of LTβR mice during infection, demonstrating perturbed B-cell and T-cell subpopulations in the absence of LTβR signaling.

Aim: Controversy exists over whether surgical technique can reduce recurrence following Crohn's resection. This study compares the rate of endoscopic recurrence after different approaches to mesenteric excision (extended/close) and anastomosis (Kono-S/standard of care) in adult patients undergoing ileocolic resection for primary or recurrent Crohn's disease.

Method: MEErKAT is a UK multicentre, 2 × 2 factorial, randomised, controlled, open-label superiority trial where participants (target sample size = 308) are blinded and centrally randomised (1:1:1:1) to one of four groups: (1) Kono-S + extended mesenteric resection.

Background: Intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy (IPC), including hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), has emerged as a promising approach to control peritoneal metastases in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. However, the safety profile and toxicity spectrum of IPC remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of hematologic and biochemical adverse reactions following surgery with or without IPC and to compare the toxicity profiles of normothermic IPC and HIPEC.

Backgrounds And Objectives: The enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal technique (eTEP) has gained popularity as a novel minimally invasive ventral hernia repair approach. However, this procedure becomes technically demanding once the view is no longer maintained, due to incidental pneumoperitoneum caused by peritoneal injury during the surgery. In an attempt to overcome this technical issue, we report laparoscopic extraperitoneal repair with upfront coring out of hernia defect (LERCO) where the intraperitoneal coring out of the hernia defect precedes the regular eTEP for the treatment of midline incisional ventral hernia.

Paroxetine attenuates sepsis by preserving the expression of the G protein-coupled chemokine receptor CXCR2 on neutrophils.

Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, is associated with impaired neutrophil migration to the infectious focus owing to G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK2)-dependent CXCR2 internalization. In the present study, we investigated whether paroxetine, an antidepressant that belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of drugs and that is also identified as a GRK2 inhibitor, can improve neutrophil recruitment in the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis model. Moderate (mCLP) and severe (sCLP) polymicrobial peritonitis were induced in C57BL/6 mice.
