Feasibility of CT Lymphography Using Iodized Oil for Sentinel Node Mapping in Early Gastric Cancer: Animal and Preliminary Clinical Study

ABSTRACT

Ethanol Infusion in the Vein of Marshall in a Patient with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Korean circulation journal, 2015

Three-dimensional automated complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE) during AF revealed clustering of CFAE at perimitral isthmus (PMI) and its unipolar mapping showed rotor-like activation, which was suggested to be critical in the perpetuation of AF. AF was organized to atrial tachycardia (AT) by 100% ethanol infusion in the vein of Marshall. Adjunctive radiofrequency ablation at PMI successfully terminated AT and led to bidirectional block of PMI.

Diagnosis of Esophageal or Duodenal Invasion of Advanced Gastric Cancer: Comparison of CT and Endoscopy

METHOD AND MATERIALS Forty-five patients (26 men, 19 women; median age, 68 years; range, 40–82 years) who underwent gastrectomy and had pathologically confirmed advanced gastric cancer with esophageal or duodenal invasion were included. The preoperative reports of CT and endoscopic exams were compared for the diagnosis of esophageal or duodenal invasion. The longitudinal length of tumor invasion into the esophagus or duodenum was retrospectively measured on CT images and histopathological specimens under microscopy. Other histopathological data were also collected, including the invasion pattern (mucosal or submucosal spread), Borrmann type, and WHO histologic classification. The sensitivity of CT and endoscopy were calculated and histopathological data were evaluated for the association with false negative findings. RESULTS The...

Diagnostic Usefulness of Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-Specific T Cell Immunity in Predicting CMV Infection after Kidney Transplantation: A Pilot Proof-of-Concept Study

Infection & chemotherapy, 2015

Currently sero-positivity for CMV IgG before solid organ transplantation is the laboratory test of choice for stratifying the risk of CMV reactivation after solid organ transplantation. Theoretically, CMV-specific cell-mediated immune responses before solid organ transplantation should further categorize patients as high or low risk of CMV development. We therefore evaluated the usefulness of the CMV-specific enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay in kidney transplant (KT) candidates for predicting the development of CMV infections after transplantation. All adult CMV IgG (+) recipients admitted to the KT institute between March 2014 and June 2014 were enrolled, and CMV infections after KT were observed between March 2014 and December 2014. All patients underwent CMV pp65 and IE1-specific ELISPOT assays before transplantation. CMV infection was defined in the presence of CMV antig...
