Abstract

Background

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a useful biomarker for gastric cancer in an animal model. We investigated the potential of SAA as a biomarker for gastric cancer in humans.

Methods

Serum levels of SAA from 96 gastric cancer patients were measured before and after curative gastrectomy; 32 patients with gastric ulcers and 52 healthy subjects were the control groups. The immunohistochemical study was performed to evaluate the protein expression over gastric cancer tissue slides.

Results

The mean SAA concentration was higher in gastric cancer patients (88.54 ± 50.44 mg/l) than in healthy subjects (3.36 ± 2.29 mg/l) and gastric ulcer patients (10.48 ± 8.97 mg/l) (P < .05). The SAA concentration was associated with tumor stage (P = .0244) and location (P = .0016) but not with Lauren’s histological type (P = .839). In the multivariate analysis, SAA level was correlated with tumor location (P < .0001) and lymph node status (P < .05). During follow-up, the mean SAA concentration increased significantly in 24 patients with tumor recurrence (P < .05) but did not change in 77 patients without recurrence. In the survival analysis, patients with SAA levels > 97 mg/l had a nearly fourfold increase in risk of death. Immunoreactivity was most prominent in blood vessel regions but not within cancer cells.

Conclusions

These data not only demonstrated SAA was useful in predicting survival of patients with gastric cancer, but they also showed that SAA was a valuable tool for postoperative follow-up.

Gegen postoperative Darmmotilitätsstörung: Erster Kaffee schon im Aufwachraum

30.04.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Nach einer Operation kann es zu einer vorübergehenden Störung der Darmmotilität kommen, ohne dass es eine mechanische Ursache gibt. Auf eine postoperative Darmmotilitätsstörung weist besonders hin, wenn Nahrung oral nicht toleriert wird.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
