The laparoscopic approaches using the triangular anastomosis technique for sigmoid colon cancer (SCC) are rare. This CONSORT study explored the short-term effects of laparoscopic radical resection of SCC with modified triangular anastomosis technique and laparoscopic-assisted small incision colon cancer reconstruction surgery. From April 2019 to January 2021, a total of 86 patients with SCC who were admitted to Luopu County People's Hospital were selected and received radical resection. ⋯ However, there was no significant difference in the number of lymph node dissections between the 2 groups (P > .05). After 3 months of follow-up, no local tumor recurrence, distant tumor metastasis, abdominal wall puncture implantation, and death were found in the 2 groups of patients. It is indicated that the improved triangular anastomosis technique for complete laparoscopic radical resection of SCC is effective in treatment for SCC.

Integrative analysis of the characteristic of lipid metabolism-related genes for the prognostic prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Dysregulation of lipid metabolism is implicated in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We therefore investigated the molecular characteristics of lipid-metabolism-related genes in HCC. ⋯ This study provides new insights into the role of LMRG in the pathogenesis of HCC and presents a novel prognostic signature 6-IS monitoring the clinical course of HCC.

Multi-center study of residual gastric volume and bowel preparation after the usage of 1L and 2L polyethylene glycol in Korea.
In colonoscopy, good bowel preparation is an important factor in determining the quality of colonoscopy. However, an increase in residual gastric volume (RGV) can lead to a higher risk of aspiration pneumonia. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the factors related to an increase in RGV with the usage of 1L polyethylene glycol (PEG). ⋯ Therefore, since RGV is higher in 1L PEG than in 2L PEG, it is necessary to be careful not to take water for at least 5 hours before the test.
