The median overall survival (OS) in the 68 patients with BRMs was only 1.16 years (95% CI 0.78-1.61). However, OS for patients who had a solitary BRM, who had BRM but no other distant metastasis, or who underwent surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery favorable. CONCLUSION Patients with proximally located adenocarcinoma, or with lymph node…[Read more]

The CLE (CLAVATA3/ESR) gene family, encoding a group of small secretory peptides, plays important roles in cell-to-cell communication, thereby controlling a broad spectrum of developmental processes. The CLE family has been systematically characterized in some plants but not Brassica napus. In the present study, 116 BnCLE genes were identified in…[Read more]

Tegaderm patches, used to measure sweat sodium chloride conductivity (SC), and TA patches were placed on the back, chest and forearm for the 30-min cycling. Results Sudomotor function significantly adapted via STHA (p less then 0.05); demonstrated by a WBSR increase of 24%, LSR increase via the TA method (back 26%, chest 45% and arm 48%) and LSR…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Several studies have reported that intracorporeal anastomosis reduces the requirement for the additional incision for anastomosis, resulting in early recovery compared to extracorporeal anastomosis during laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. However, few studies have investigated postoperative outcome after laparoscopic total gastrectomy…[Read more]
