Effect of growth hormone on colonic anastomosis after intraperitoneal administration of 5-fluorouracil, bleomycin and cisplatin: An experimental study.
Growth hormone (GH) plays a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair in postoperative patients. In particular, colonic anastomosis healing following colorectal surgery is impaired by numerous chemotherapy agents. To investigate whether GH can improve the healing of a colonic anastomosis following the adverse effects of intraperitoneal administration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), bleomycin and cisplatin. Eighty Wistar rats underwent laparotomy and a 1 cm-resection of the transverse colon, followed by an end-to-end anastomosis under general anesthesia. The rats were blindly allocated into four equal groups and administered a different daily intraperitoneal therapeutic regimen for 6 days. The control group (A) received normal saline. Group B received chemotherapy with 5-FU (20 mg/kg), bleomycin (4 mg/kg) and cisplatin (0.7 mg/kg). Group C received GH (2 mg/kg), and group D received the aforementioned combination chemotherapy and GH, as described. The rats were sacrificed on the 7th postoperative day and the anastomoses were macroscopically and microscopically examined. Body weight, bursting pressure, hydroxyproline levels and inflammation markers were measured. All rats survived until the day of sacrifice, with no infections or other complications. A decrease in the body weight of group D rats was observed, not statistically significant compared to group A (P = 1), but significantly different to groups C (P = 0.001) and B (P < 0.01). Anastomotic dehiscence rate was not statistically different between the groups. Bursting pressure was not significantly different between groups A and D (P = 1.0), whereas group B had a significantly lower bursting pressure compared to group D (P < 0.001). All groups had significantly more adhesions than group A. Hydroxyproline, as a measurement of collagen deposition, was significantly higher in group D compared to group B (P < 0.05), and higher, but not statistically significant, compared to group A. Significant changes in group D were recorded, compared to group A regarding inflammation (3.450 vs 2.900, P = 0.016) and fibroblast activity (2.75 vs 3.25, P = 0.021). Neoangiogenesis and collagen deposition were not significantly different between groups A and D. Collagen deposition was significantly increased in group D compared to group B (P < 0.001). Intraperitoneal administration of chemotherapy has an adverse effect on the healing process of colonic anastomosis. However, GH can inhibit the deleterious effect of administered chemotherapy agents and induce colonic healing in rats.

Transmembrane serine protease 4 expression in the prognosis of radical resection for biliary tract cancer.
Recent advancements in biliary tract cancer (BTC) treatment have expanded beyond surgery to include adjuvant therapy, yet the prognosis remains poor. Identifying prognostic biomarkers could enhance the assessment of patients who have undergone radical resection for BTC. To determine transmembrane serine protease 4 (TMPRSS4) utility as a prognostic biomarker of radical resection for BTC. Medical records of patients who underwent radical resection for BTC, excluding intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, were retrospectively reviewed. The associations between TMPRSS4 expression and clinicopathological factors, overall survival, and recurrence-free survival were analyzed. Among the 85 patients undergoing radical resection for BTC, 46 (54%) were TMPRSS4-positive. The TMPRSS4-positive group exhibited significantly higher preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) values and greater lymphatic invasion than the TMPRSS4-negative group (P = 0.019 and 0.039, respectively). Postoperative overall survival and recurrence-free survival were significantly worse in the TMPRSS4-positive group (median survival time: 25.3 months vs not reached, P < 0.001; median survival time: 28.7 months vs not reached, P = 0.043, respectively). Multivariate overall survival analysis indicated TMPRSS4 positivity, pT3/T4, and resection status R1 were independently associated with poor prognosis (P = 0.032, 0.035 and 0.030, respectively). TMPRSS4 positivity correlated with preoperative CA19-9 values ≥ 37 U/mL and pathological tumor size ≥ 30 mm (P = 0.016 and 0.038, respectively). TMPRSS4 is a potential prognostic biomarker of radical resection for BTC.

Management of distal cholangiocarcinoma with arterial involvement: Systematic review and case series on the role of neoadjuvant therapy.
The use of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) with regional arterial or extensive venous involvement, is not widely accepted and evidence is sparse. To synthesise evidence on NAT for dCCA and present the experience of a high-volume tertiary-centre managing dCCA with arterial involvement. A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidance to identify all studies reporting outcomes of patients with dCCA who received NAT. All patients from 2017 to 2022 who were referred for NAT for dCCA at our centre were retrospectively collected from a prospectively maintained database. Baseline characteristics, NAT type, progression to surgery and oncological outcomes were collected. Twelve studies were included. The definition of "unresectable" locally advanced dCCA was heterogenous. Four studies reported outcomes for 9 patients who received NAT for dCCA with extensive vascular involvement. R0 resection rate ranged between 0 and 100% but without survival benefit in most cases. Remaining studies considered either NAT in resectable dCCA or inclusive with extrahepatic CCA. The presented case series includes 9 patients (median age 67, IQR 56-74 years, male:female 5:4) referred for NAT for borderline resectable or locally advanced disease. Three patients progressed to surgery and 2 were resected. One patient died at 14 months with evidence of recurrence at 6 months and the other died at 51 months following recurrence 6 months post-operatively. Evidence for benefit of NAT is limited. Consensus on criteria for uniform definition of resectability for dCCA is required. We propose using the established National-Comprehensive-Cancer-Network® criteria for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Hepatic recompensation according to the Baveno VII criteria via a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: Is this true?
Hepatic recompensation is firstly described in the Baveno VII criteria, which requires the fulfillment of strict criteria. First, a primary cause of cirrhosis must be addressed, suppressed, or cured. Second, complications of liver cirrhosis, including ascites, encephalopathy, and variceal hemorrhage, must disappear without any intervention. Finally, liver function indicators must be improved. Moreover, without addressing/suppressing/curing cirrhosis and improvement in liver synthetic function, complications, including ascites and variceal hemorrhage can be improved by a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), which is not evidence of hepatic recompensation. Therefore, on the basis of the definition of hepatic recompensation, TIPS does not achieve hepatic recompensation.

Survival prognostic analysis of laparoscopic D2 radical resection for locally advanced gastric cancer: A multicenter cohort study.
With the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, the use of laparoscopic D2 radical surgery for the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) has gradually increased. However, the effect of this procedure on survival and prognosis remains controversial. This study evaluated the survival and prognosis of patients receiving laparoscopic D2 radical resection for the treatment of locally advanced GC to provide more reliable clinical evidence, guide clinical decision-making, optimize treatment strategies, and improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients. To investigate the survival prognosis and influencing factors of laparoscopic D2 radical resection for locally advanced GC patients. A retrospective cohort study was performed. Clinicopathological data from 652 patients with locally advanced GC in our hospitals from December 2013 to December 2023 were collected. There were 442 males and 210 females. The mean age was 57 ± 12 years. All patients underwent a laparoscopic D2 radical operation for distal GC. The patients were followed up in the outpatient department and by telephone to determine their tumor recurrence, metastasis, and survival. The follow-up period ended in December 2023. Normally distributed data are expressed as the mean ± SD, and normally distributed data are expressed as M (Q1, Q3) or M (range). Statistical data are expressed as absolute numbers or percentages; the χ 2 test was used for comparisons between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U nonparametric test was used for comparisons of rank data. The life table method was used to calculate the survival rate, the Kaplan-Meier method was used to construct survival curves, the log rank test was used for survival analysis, and the Cox risk regression model was used for univariate and multifactor analysis. The median overall survival (OS) time for the 652 patients was 81 months, with a 10-year OS rate of 46.1%. Patients with TNM stages II and III had 10-year OS rates of 59.6% and 37.5%, respectively, which were significantly different (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis indicated that factors such as age, maximum tumor diameter, tumor differentiation grade (low to undifferentiated), pathological TNM stage, pathological T stage, pathological N stage (N2, N3), and postoperative chemotherapy significantly influenced the 10-year OS rate for patients with locally advanced GC following laparoscopic D2 radical resection for distal stomach cancer [hazard ratio (HR): 1.45, 1.64, 1.45, 1.64, 1.37, 2.05, 1.30, 1.68, 3.08, and 0.56 with confidence intervals (CIs) of 1.15-1.84, 1.32-2.03, 1.05-1.77, 1.62-2.59, 1.05-1.61, 1.17-2.42, 2.15-4.41, and 0.44-0.70, respectively; P < 0.05]. Multifactor analysis revealed that a tumor diameter greater than 4 cm, low tumor differentiation, and pathological TNM stage III were independent risk factors for the 10-year OS rate in these patients (HR: 1.48, 1.44, 1.81 with a 95%CI: 1.19-1.84). Additionally, postoperative chemotherapy emerged as an independent protective factor for the 10-year OS rate (HR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.45-0.73; P < 0.05). A maximum tumor diameter exceeding 4 cm, low tumor differentiation, and pathological TNM stage III were identified as independent risk factors for the 10-year OS rate in patients with locally advanced GC following laparoscopic D2 radical resection for distal GC. Conversely, postoperative chemotherapy was found to be an independent protective factor for the 10-year OS rate in these patients.
