Continuous ingestion of sodium chloride solution promotes allergen absorption and may exacerbate allergy symptoms on ovalbumin-induced food allergy in mice
In this study, we investigated the effect of continuous ingestion of sodium chloride (NaCl) on allergy symptoms using a mouse model of food allergy. BALB/c mice were divided into four groups of 6-8 animals each. The control-water group (CW) and sensitization-water group (SW) groups were provided free access to water, and the control-1% NaCl group (CS) and sensitization-1% NaCl group (SS) groups were provided a 1% NaCl solution. The SW and SS groups were sensitized with 50 µg ovalbumin (OVA) at 2 timepoints by intraperitoneal injection. After oral administration of OVA, anaphylactic response was measured and blood was coll...

Lymph node mapping in gastric cancer: a pilot study in Western patients
Can J Surg. 2022 Sep 21;65(5):E630-E634. doi: 10.1503/cjs.019821. Print 2022 Sep-Oct.ABSTRACTSummaryIn East Asia, the role of lymph node (LN) mapping in assisting surgical lymphadenectomy, which is integral to the management of gastric cancer, has been explored. We sought to evaluate its safety and utility in Western patients. Thirteen patients with nonmetastatic gastric adenocarcinoma received endoscopic, peritumoural, submucosal indocyanine green fluorescence (ICG) injections before surgery, and ICG was assessed intraoperatively using a laparoscopic detection system. All patients underwent a laparoscopic subtotal gastrec...
