1患者肠道微生物群失调与肠上皮屏障功能障碍显示文摘最近的证据表明,在动物模型中,肠道病理学和微生物组与高血压之间存在联系。然而,这种关联在人类中是否存在尚不清楚。因此,该研究的目的是检验高血压患者具有明显特异的肠道微生物组以及肠上皮屏障功能标记物和微生物组组成可以预测收缩压变化的假设。研究者通过鸟枪法宏基因组学分析粪便样本显示微生物分类和功能变化,结果显示高血压患者和对照受试者之间丁酸盐产生存在差异。Kim S Goel R Kumar A Qi Y Lobaton G Hosaka K Mohammed M Handberg EM Richards EM Pepine CJ Raizada MK 刘青 叶鹏 2018中华高血压杂志2018,26,9:45
2Metallothionein:An overview显示文摘Metallothioneins (MTs) were discovered in 1957 by Margoshes and Vallee and identified as low-molecular weight and sulphydryl rich proteins. It is not surprising that most mammalian tissues contain age related basal levels of MTs since they are involved in metalloregulatory processes that include cell growth and multiplication. In an effort to understand the biology of this intriguing tumor, various biomarkers such as oncogenes, p53 tumor suppressor gene, waf 1 protein, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, telomerase, microsatellite markers and cytogenetic changes have been examined. One biomarker which has recently shown to be expressed in various human tumors but still less reported in carcinoma is MT. Immunohistochemical detection of MT proteins in cold acetone-fixed paraffin embedded liver sections was performed by the streptavidin-avidin-biotin immuno- peroxidase complex method.N Thirumoorthy KT Manisenthil Kumar A Shyam Sundar L Panayappan Malay Chatterjee 2007World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,7:21
3Contrast-enhanced 3D ultrasound in the radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors显示文摘Liver metastases and hepatocellular carcinomas are two of the most common causes of cancer deaths in the world.Radiofrequency ablation(RFA) is a well recognized,effective and minimally invasive means of treating malignant hepatic tumors.This article describes the use of contrast-enhanced 3D ultrasound(CE-3DUS) in the staging,targeting and follow-up of patients with liver tumors undergoing RFA.In particular,its value in the management of large hepatic lesions will be illustrated.Current limitations of CE-3DUS and future developments in the technique will also be discussed.In summary,CE-3DUS is useful in the RFA of liver tumors with improved detection and display of occult lesions and recurrence,in the assessment of lesional geometry and orientation for a more accurate planning and guidance of multiple RFA needle electrodes in large tumors and in the evaluation of residual or recurrent disease within the immediate and/or subsequent follow-up periods.Edward Leen Senthil Kumar Shahid A Khan Gavin Low Keh Oon Ong Paul Tait Mike Averkiou 2009World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,3:19
4Antimicrobial potential of Actinomycetes species isolated from marine environment显示文摘Objective:To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Actinomycetes species isolated from marine environment.Methods:Twenty one strains of Actinomyceteswere isolated from samples of Royapuram, Muttukadu, Mahabalipuram sea shores and Adyar estuary. Preliminary screening was done using cross-streak method against two gram-positive and eight gram-negative bacteria.The most potent strains C11 and C12 were selected from which antibacterial substances were extracted. The antibacterial activities of the extracts were performed using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Molecular identification of those isolates was done.Results:All those twenty one isolates were active against at least one of the test organisms. Morphological characters were recorded. C11 showed activity againstStaphylococcusspecies(13.0暲0.5 mm),Vibrio harveyi(11.0暲0.2 mm),Pseudomonas species(12.0暲0.3 mm). C12 showed activity against Staphylococcus species(16.0暲0.4 mm),Bacillus subtilis(11.0暲0.2 mm),Vibrio harveyi(9.0暲0.1 mm),Pseudomonas species(10.0暲0.2 mm). 16S rRNA pattern strongly suggested that C11 and C12 strains were Streptomyces species.Conclusions:The results of the present investigation reveal that the marineActinomycetesfrom coastal environment are the potent source of novel antibiotics.Isolation, characterization and study of Actinom ycetescan be useful in discovery of novel species of Actinomy cetes.Valli S Suvathi Sugasini S Aysha OS Nirmala P Vinoth Kumar P Reena A 2012Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine2012,2,6:8
5Fabrication of Bi_2O_3/TiO_2nanocomposites and their applications to the degradation of pollutants in air and water under visible-light显示文摘A nanoheterojunction composite photocatalyst Bi2O3/TiO2working under visible-light(λ 420 nm) was prepared by combining two semiconductors Bi2O3 and TiO2 varying the Bi2O3/TiO2molar ratio. Maleic acid was employed as an organic binder to unite Bi2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles. The SEM, TEM, XRD and diffuse reflectance spectra were utilized to characterize the prepared Bi2O3/TiO2nanoheterojunction. The nanocomposite exhibited unusual high photocatalytic activity in decomposing 2-propanol in gas phase and phenol in aqueous phase and, evolution of CO2 under visible light irradiation while the end members exhibited low photocatalytic activity. The composite was optimized to 5 mol% Bi2O3/TiO2. The remarkable high photocatalytic efficiency originates from the unique relative energy band position of Bi2O3 and TiO2 as well as the absorption of visible light by Bi2O3.Ashok Kumar Chakraborty Md Emran Hossain Md Masudur Rhaman K M A Sobahan 2014Journal of Environmental Sciences2014,26,2:7
6Subcurative radiation significantly increases cell proliferation, invasion, and migration of primary glioblastoma multiforme in vivo显示文摘Tumor cell proliferation, infiltration, migration, and neovascularization are known causes of treatment resistance in glioblastoma multiforme(GBM). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of radiation on the growth characteristics of primary human GBM developed in a nude rat. Primary GBM cells grown from explanted GBM tissues were implanted orthotopically in nude rats. Tumor growth was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging on day 77(baseline) after implantation. The rats underwent irradiation to a dose of 50 Gy delivered subcuratively on day 84 postimplantation(n = 8), or underwent no radiation(n = 8). Brain tissues were obtained on day 112(nonirradiated) or day 133(irradiated). Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine tumor cell proliferation(Ki-67) and to assess the expression of infiltration marker(matrix metalloproteinase-2, MMP-2) and cell migration marker(CD44). Tumor neovascularization was assessed by microvessel density using von-Willebrand factor(vWF) staining. Magnetic resonance imaging showed well-developed, infiltrative tumors in 11 weeks postimplantation. The proportion of Ki-67-positive cells in tumors undergoing radiation was(71 ± 15)% compared with(25 ± 12)% in the nonirradiated group(P = 0.02). The number of MMP-2-positive areas and proportion of CD44-positive cells were also high in tumors receiving radiation, indicating great invasion and infiltration. Microvessel density analysis did not show a significant difference between nonirradiated and irradiated tumors. Taken together, we found that subcurative radiation significantly increased proliferation, invasion, and migration of primary GBM. Our study provides insights into possible mechanisms of treatment resistance following radiation therapy for GBM.Adarsh Shankar Sanath Kumar Asm Iskander Nadimpalli RS Varma Branislava Janic Ana deCarvalho Tom Mikkelsen Joseph A Frank Meser M Ali Robert A Knight Stephen Brown Ali S Arbab 2014Chinese Journal of Cancer2014,33,3:5
7Anti-microbial principles of selected remedial plants from Southern India显示文摘Objective:To examine the anti-bacterial activity of leaf extracts of Morus alba L.(Moraceae)and Piper betel L.(Piperaceae),and seed extracts of Bombax ceiba L.(Borabacaceae).Methods:We have partially purified plant extracts by solvent extraction method,and evaluated the effect of individual fractions on bacterial growth using Escherichia coli(E.coli),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P.aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus) bacterial strains.Results:Compared with Morus and Bombax fractions,Piper fractions showed significant growth inhibition on all the three types of bacteria studied.The EtOAc-hexane fractions of Piper leaves exhibited significant antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC) of 50 μg/mL culture against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.The EtOAc-fractions Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅳ inhibited bacterial colony formation on soft agar in addition to growth inhibition.A combination treatment of piper fractions with ampicillin resulted in significant growth inhibition in E.coli and P.aeruginosa,and combination with anticancer drug geldanamycin(2 μg/mL) showed selective growth inhibition against P.aeruginosa and S.aureus.Three major compounds,i.e.,eugenol,3-hexene-ol and stigmasterol,were primarily identified from Piper betel leaf extractions.Among the individual compounds,eugenol treatment showed improved growth inhibition compared with stigmasterol and 3-hexene-ol.Conclusions:We are reporting potential anti-bacterial compounds from Piper betel against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria either alone or in combination with drug treatment.Tirupathi Rao G Suresh Babu K J Ujwal Kumar Sujana P A Veerabhadr Raoa Sreedhar AS 2011Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine2011,1,4:5
8Mesenchymal stem cell therapy in retinal and optic nerve diseases: An update of clinical trials显示文摘Retinal and optic nerve diseases are degenerative ocular pathologies which lead to irreversible visual loss. Since the advanced therapies availability, cell-based therapies offer a new all-encompassing approach. Advances in the knowledge of neuroprotection, immunomodulation and regenerative properties of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) have been obtained by several preclinical studies of various neurodegenerative diseases. It has provided the opportunity to perform the translation of this knowledge to prospective treatment approaches for clinical practice. Since 2008, several first steps projecting new treatment approaches, have been taken regarding the use of cell therapy in patients with neurodegenerative pathologies of optic nerve and retina. Most of the clinical trials using MSCs are in Ⅰ/Ⅱ phase, recruiting patients or ongoing, and they have as main objective the safety assessment of MSCs using various routes of administration. However, it is important to recognize that, there is still a long way to go to reach clinical trials phase Ⅲ-Ⅳ. Hence, it is necessary to continue preclinical and clinical studies to improve this new therapeutic tool. This paper reviews the latest progress of MSCs in human clinical trials for retinal and optic nerve diseases.Sonia Labrador-Velandia María Luz Alonso-Alonso Sara Alvarez-Sanchez Jorge González-Zamora Irene Carretero-Barrio José Carlos Pastor Iván Fernandez-Bueno Girish Kumar Srivastava 2016World Journal of Stem Cells2016,8,11:5
9Unexpected alliance between syndecan-1 and innatelike T cells to protect host from autoimmune effects of interleukin-17显示文摘Innate-like T cells, namely natural killer T(NKT) and γδ T cells, play critical roles in linking innate and adaptive immune responses through rapid production of cytokines. Prominent among these cytokines is interleukin-17(IL-17), which is a potent proinflammatory cytokine that plays a critical role in host defense against fungi and extracellular bacteria. However, excessive IL-17-production promotes autoimmune diseases, including psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. IL-17 has also been implicated in regulating body fat, which is highly relevant given rises in obesity and type 2 diabetes. NKT cells, γδ T cells and mucosal-associated invariant T cells(MAIT) are the major sources of IL-17 involved in protection of mucosal surfaces from opportunistic infections and causing autoimmunity when become dysregulated. Given the pathogenic effects of IL-17, efforts have been directed towards understanding mechanisms that guard against IL-17 overproduction. One novel potent mechanism is mediated by the heparan sulfate proteoglycan, syndecan-1(sdc1), which is selectively expressed by IL-17-producing subsets of NKT and γδ T cells. This unexpected role for sdc1 is uncovered by analysis of NKT and γδ T cells in sdc1-deficient mice. In this mini-review, we discuss selective expression of sdc1 by these innate T cells and consequences of its absence on IL-17 homeostasis and pathological implications.Anil Kumar Jaiswal Mohanraj Sadasivam Abdel Rahim A Hamad 2018World Journal of Diabetes2018,9,12:5
10Perspectives of pluripotent stem cells in livestock显示文摘The recent progress in derivation of pluripotent stem cells(PSCs)from farm animals opens new approaches not only for reproduction,genetic engineering,treatment and conservation of these species,but also for screening novel drugs for their efficacy and toxicity,and modelling of human diseases.Initial attempts to derive PSCs from the inner cell mass of blastocyst stages in farm animals were largely unsuccessful as either the cells survived for only a few passages,or lost their cellular potency;indicating that the protocols which allowed the derivation of murine or human embryonic stem(ES)cells were not sufficient to support the maintenance of ES cells from farm animals.This scenario changed by the innovation of induced pluripotency and by the development of the 3 inhibitor culture conditions to support naïve pluripotency in ES cells from livestock species.However,the long-term culture of livestock PSCs while maintaining the full pluripotency is still challenging,and requires further refinements.Here,we review the current achievements in the derivation of PSCs from farm animals,and discuss the potential application areas.Dharmendra Kumar Thirumala R Talluri Naresh L Selokar Iqbal Hyder Wilfried A Ku 2021World Journal of Stem Cells2021,13,1:4
11Clinical implications of diabetes in chronic liver disease:Diagnosis,outcomes and management,current and future perspectives显示文摘Diabetes mellitus(DM)is common in liver cirrhosis(LC).The pathophysiological association is bidirectional.DM is a risk factor of LC and LC is a diabetogenic condition.In the recent years,research on different aspects of the association DM and LC has been intensified.Nevertheless,it has been insufficient and still exist many gaps.The aims of this review are:(1)To discuss the latest understandings of the association of DM and LC in order to identify the strategies of early diagnosis;(2)To evaluate the impact of DM on outcomes of LC patients;and(3)To select the most adequate management benefiting the two conditions.Literature searches were conducted using Pub Med,Ovid and Scopus engines for DM and LC,diagnosis,outcomes and management.The authors also provided insight from their own published experience.Based on the published studies,two types of DM associated with LC have emerged:Type 2 DM(T2 DM)and hepatogenous diabetes(HD).High-quality evidences have determined that T2 DM or HD significantly increase complications and death pre and post-liver transplantation.HD has been poorly studied and has not been recognized as a complication of LC.The management of DM in LC patients continues to be difficult and should be based on drug pharmacokinetics and the degree of liver failure.In conclusion,the clinical impact of DM in outcomes of LC patients has been the most studied item recently.Nevertheless many gaps still exist particularly in the management.These most important gaps were highlighted in order to propose future lines for research.Diego García-Compeán Emanuela Orsi Ramesh Kumar Felix Gundling Tsutomu Nishida Jesús Zacarías Villarreal-Pérez Ángel N Del Cueto-Aguilera JoséA González-González Giuseppe Pugliese 2022World Journal of Gastroenterology2022,28,8:4
12WISE USE OF WETLAND FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD THROUGH PARTICIPATORY APPROACH:A CASE OF ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE显示文摘The facts showed that the number of unemployment people is increasing and a large part of them live in the low-lying areas to be facing the challenge from impacts of climate change. So adaptive capacity of the poverty level for sustainable livelihood in vulnerable wetlands is related to coping with local climate change. This paper focuses on soil-less agriculture (Hydroponics) as an alternative source of livelihood means for the communities having no lands for cultivation. Approximately half of Bangladesh is covered with wetlands. The prospect of enormous productivity lies in the development of wetland resources. The soil-less agriculture is an indigenous practice in the middle of southwestern part of Bangladesh. The people who lives within the wetland ecosystems uses locally available paddy straws, water hyacinths and various invasively aquatic plants for making the floating mat or organic bed on which crops, vegetables and seedlings are grown. The productivity of this farming system is much higher than that of terrestrials agricultural and the system can support fisheries of open water. The compost generated from organic refuse bed is a kind of enriched nutrient and can act as a soil conditioner. It would be a major source of nutrients in aquaculture as well. The system is capable to ensure more agriculture production by restoring wetlands from aquatic invasive plant. In addition, the technology included of the system is friendly to ecosystem of wetlands.Haq A H M Rezaul Tapan Kumar Ghosal Pritam Ghosh M Aminul Islam 2005湿地科学2005,3,3:4
13创伤性寰枢椎滑脱伴移位型齿状突骨折:采用“关节重塑”技术实现后路完全复位显示文摘寰枢椎脱位(atlantocaxial dislocation,AAD)是在先天性和创伤性情况下,寰枢关节常见的一种不正常关系,寰枢椎滑脱(atlantoaxial spondyloptosis,AAS)是指寰椎侧块小关节面完全移位,两个关节面之间无接触,是寰枢椎不稳定的一种罕见表现,属于最严重的寰枢椎脱位之一。由于寰枢关节面交锁,传统的后路手术方式或单纯凭借颅骨牵引均无法使寰枢椎完全复位。“关节操作”技术最初由Goel等提出,通过术中C1~C2撑开及进行寰枢关节操作实现颅颈交界区的重新对位。但单独使用该技术并不能达到关节复位,因此需要联合关节重塑技术(通过在C1关节面前下方边缘及C2关节面钻孔以辅助骨刀插入,获得撑开及部分复位),使寰枢关节复位到正常的解剖位置。作者对1例创伤性AAS伴移位型齿状突骨折患儿采取单纯后路手术,通过“关节操作”和“关节重塑”技术实现完全复位,效果良好。kumar a varshney g singh pk 葛苏 马向阳 2018中国骨科临床与基础研究杂志2018,10,1:3

17因拒食而由家庭成员对其鼻饲四年的精神分裂症和强迫症共病患者一例(英文)显示文摘在许多精神障碍中(包括强迫症和精神分裂症),拒食是常见的表现。当突然出现拒食时,这可能需要急诊处理;一旦变成慢性,它就成为一种难以改变的根深蒂固的行为。对拒食患者的诊断可能有难度,尤其是对有共病问题、智力受损或对自身状况缺乏自知力的患者。鼻饲是一种有效的短期干预方法,当患者重新进食时即可中止这一干预。然而,在某些情况下,患者可能变得依赖于鼻饲。我们介绍一个病例,报告一名患有精神分裂症、强迫症、边缘智力以及癫痫的患者由于拒绝进食而由其家庭成员用鼻饲管喂食超过三年。Sachdeva A Chandra M Saxena A Beniwal R Kandpal M Kumar A 2015上海精神医学2015,27,4:3
18Pathological abnormalities in splenic vasculature in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension:Its relevance in the management of portal hypertension显示文摘BACKGROUND Portal hypertension(PH)is associated with changes in vascular structure and function of the portosplenomesenteric system(PSMS).This is referred to as portal hypertensive vasculopathy.Pathological abnormalities of PSMS has been described in the literature for cirrhotic patients.Raised portal pressure and hyperdynamic circulation are thought to be the underlying cause of this vasculopathy.In view of this,it is expected that pathological changes in splenic and portal vein similar to those reported in cirrhotic patients with PH may also be present in patients with non-cirrhotic PH(NCPH).AIM To investigate pathological abnormalities of splenic vein in patients with NCPH,and suggest its possible implications in the management of PH.METHODS A prospective observational study was performed on 116 patients with NCPH[Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction(EHPVO):53 and non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis(NCPF):63]who underwent proximal splenorenal shunt(PSRS),interposition shunt or splenectomy with devascularization in JIPMER,Pondicherry,India,a tertiary level referral center,between 2011-2016.All patients were evaluated by Doppler study of PSMS,computed tomography portovenogram and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.An acoustic resonance forced impulse(ARFI)scan and abdomen ultrasound were done for all cases to exclude cirrhosis.Intraoperative and histopathological assessment of the harvested splenic vein was performed in all.The study group was divided into delayed and early presentation based on the median duration of symptoms(i.e.108 mo).RESULTS The study group comprising of 116 patients[77(66%)females and 39(34%)males]with NCPH had a median age of 22 years.Median duration of symptoms was 108 mo.The most common presentation in both EHPVO and NCPF patients was upper gastrointestinal bleeding(hematemesis and melena).The ARFI scan revealed a median score of 1.2(1.0-1.8)m/s for EHPVO and 1.5(0.9-2.8)m/s for NCPF.PSRS was performed in 84 patients(two of whom underwent interposition PSRS using a 10 mm Dacron graft);splenoadrenal shunt in 9;interposition mesocaval shunt in 5;interposition 1st jejunal to caval shunt in 1 patient and devascularization with splenectomy in 17 patients.Median presplenectomy portal pressure was 25(range:15-51)mm Hg.In 77%cases,the splenic vein was abnormal upon intraoperative assessment.Under macroscopic examination,wall thickening was observed in 108(93%),venous thrombosis in 32(28%)and vein wall calcification in 27(23%)cases.Upon examination under a surgical magnification loupe,21(18%)patients had intimal defects in the splenic vein.Histopathological examination of veins was abnormal in all cases.Medial hypertrophy was noted in nearly all patients(107/116),while intimal fibrosis was seen in 30%.Ninety one percent of patients with intimal fibrosis also had venous thrombosis.Vein wall calcification was found in 22%,all of whom had intimal fibrosis and venous thrombosis.The proportion of patients with pathological abnormalities in the splenic vein were significantly greater in the delayed presentation group as compared to the early presentation group.CONCLUSION Pathological changes in the splenic vein similar to those in cirrhotic patients with PH are noted in NCPH.We recommend that PH in NCPH be treated as systemic and pulmonary hypertension equivalent in the gastrointestinal tract,and that early aggressive therapy be initiated to reduce portal pressure and hemodynamic stress to avoid potential lethal effects.Shahana Gupta Biju Pottakkat Surendra Kumar Verma Raja Kalayarasan Sandip Chandrasekar A Ajith Ananthakrishna Pillai 2020World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2020,12,1:3
19Functional outcome of tibial fracture with acute compartment syndrome and correlation to deep posterior compartment pressure显示文摘AIM To measure single baseline deep posterior compartment pressure in tibial fracture complicated by acute compartment syndrome(ACS) and to correlate it with functional outcome.METHODS Thirty-two tibial fractures with ACS were evaluated clinically and the deep posterior compartment pressure was measured. Urgent fasciotomy was needed in 30 patients. Definite surgical fixation was performed either primarily or once fasciotomy wound was healthy. The patients were followed up at 3 mo, 6 mo and one year. At one year, the functional outcome [lower extremity functional scale(LEFS)] and complications were assessed.RESULTS Three limbs were amputated. In remaining 29 patients, the average times for clinical and radiological union were 25.2 ± 10.9 wk(10 to 54 wk) and 23.8 ± 9.2 wk(12 to 52 wk) respectively. Nine patients had delayed union and 2 had nonunion who needed bone grafting to augment healing. Most common complaint at follow up was ankle stiffness(76%) that caused difficulty in walking,running and squatting. Of 21 patients who had paralysis at diagnosis, 13(62%) did not recover and additional five patients developed paralysis at follow-up. On LEFS evaluation, there were 14 patients(48.3%) with severe disability, 10 patients(34.5%) with moderate disability and 5 patients(17.2%) with minimal disability. The mean pressures in patients with minimal disability, moderate disability and severe disability were 37.8, 48.4 and 58.79 mmH g respectively(P < 0.001).CONCLUSION ACS in tibial fractures causes severe functional disability in majority of patients. These patients are prone for delayed union and nonunion; however, long term disability is mainly because of severe soft tissue contracture. Intracompartmental pressure(ICP) correlates with functional disability; patients with relatively high ICP are prone for poor functional outcome.Saumitra Goyal Monappa A Naik Sujit Kumar Tripathy Sharath K Rao 2017World Journal of Orthopedics2017,8,5:3
20Value of multi-disciplinary input into laparoscopic management of rectal cancer-An observational study显示文摘AIM To assess the impact of multi-disciplinary teams(MDTs)management in optimising the outcome for rectal cancers.METHODS We undertook a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of patients with rectal cancers(defined as tumours≤15 cm from anal verge)discussed at our MDT between Jan 2008 and Jan 2011.The data was validated against the national database to ensure completeness of dataset.The clinical course and follow-up data was validated using the institution’s electronic patient records.The data was analysed in terms of frequencies and percentages.Significance of any differences were analysed usingχ2 test.A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed for overall survival and disease free survival.RESULTS Following appropriate staging,one hundred and thirtythree patients were suitable for potentially curative resections.Seventy two(54%)were upper rectal cancer(URC)-tumour was>6 cm from the anal verge and 61(46%)were lower rectal cancers(LRC)-lower extent of the tumour was palpable≤6 cm.Circumferential resection margin(CRM)appeared threatened on preoperative MRI in 19/61(31%)patients with LRC requiring neo-adjuvant therapy(NAT).Of the 133 resections,118(89%)were attempted laparoscopically(5%conversion rate).CRM was positive in 9(6.7%)patients;Median lymph node harvest was 12(2-37).Major complications occurred in 8(6%)patients.Median follow-up was 53 mo(0-82).The 90-d mortality was 2(1.5%).Over the followup period,disease related mortality was 11(8.2%)and overall mortality was 39(29.3%).Four(3%)patients had local recurrence and 22(16.5%)patients had distant metastases.CONCLUSION Management of rectal cancers can be optimized with multidisciplinary input to attain acceptable long-term oncological outcomes even when incorporating a laparoscopic approach to rectal cancer resection.Pawan Kumar Dhruva Rao Sooriyaratchige Pradeep Manjula Peiris Seema Safia Arif Rhodri A Davies Ashraf Gergies Masoud Puthucode Narayanan Haray 2017World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2017,9,6:2
