Background Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide, with high incidence and mortality rates. According to statistics, approximately 1.87 million new cases of CRC were diagnosed globally in 2020, resulting in 915,000 deaths. Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is a common metastatic pathway of CRC, with about ...
Academic Background Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by recurrent inflammation and ulceration of the colonic mucosa. Current treatments for UC primarily rely on immunosuppressive drugs, such as corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and biologics. However, the immunosuppressive properties of these drugs incr...
Academic Background Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease often accompanied by various extraintestinal complications, among which pulmonary infections are particularly severe. Although previous studies have indicated interactions between the intestinal and pulmonary immune systems, the specific mechanisms involving neutrop...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, primarily including Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD). In recent years, the incidence of IBD has been on the rise globally, placing a significant burden on healthcare systems. Although it is widely accepted that IBD is associ...
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, and surgical resection (gastrectomy) is the primary treatment. Although the application of minimally invasive techniques has reduced surgical trauma, the incidence of postoperative complications after gastrectomy remains high, ranging from 20% to 40%. These complications not only ...
Background Introduction Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction (ASBO) is one of the leading causes of emergency admissions, accounting for approximately 60% of all small bowel obstruction cases. ASBO is often caused by postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions, with patients presenting symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation. While most...
Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a common surgery for treating tumors of the pancreas and surrounding organs, but postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of its major complications, especially in high-risk patients, where the incidence of POPF can be as high as 50%. POPF not only increases hospitalization time and medical costs but can also lead t...
Academic Background Malnutrition is a significant risk factor for postoperative complications, particularly in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, where the incidence of malnutrition is high. However, there is currently no widely accepted tool for assessing malnutrition. Existing nutritional screening tools vary greatly in sensitivity and ...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily includes Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD). The incidence of IBD has been increasing globally, imposing significant health and economic burdens on patients and society. Currently, the diagnosis of IBD relies mainly on endoscopy, but this method is exp...
In recent years, the significant role of the human gut microbiota (HGM) in the metabolism of drugs and nutrients has gradually been recognized. The gut microbiota not only affects the bioavailability of orally administered drugs but also participates in the biotransformation of drugs and bioactive molecules through its metabolic enzymes, thereby in...
