Does cell proliferation in ventromedial hypothalamic lesioned rats inhibit acute gastric mucosal lesions?
VMH-lesioned rats are resistant to AGML formation due to increased cell proliferation in gastric mucosa through elevating the levels of defensive factors over those of aggressive factors.
Laparoscopically-assisted noncurative total gastrectomy in patients with stage IV or metastatic gastric cancer is considered to be a safe and feasible approach. Laparoscopically-assisted palliative total gastrectomy can be performed to obtain better quality of life in patients with gastric cancer who suffered from local gastric bleeding, pain, obstruction symptoms refractory to other therapies.
