31 Background: Wide variety of Predictive factors (PF) of postoperative complications (PC) in patients with gastric cancer(GC) that have undergone laparoscopic gastrectomy(LG) has been reported. The aim of this study is to devise simple PF for PC for LG that can estimate risk of PC preoperatively. Methods: Two hundred and ninety-eight patients that have been underwent curative LG against GC during May 2012 to March 2016 were enrolled. Patients’ characteristics, preoperative (pre-) laboratory data, operative information and pathological factors were analyzed. Also PC with Clavien-Dindo classification Grade (CD)≥II (PC≥II), pancreatic fistula (PF), intraabdominal abscess (IA), pneumonia (PN) and anastomotic leakage (AL) with CD≥III were examined. Results: Patients with pStage I, II, III and IV was 83%, 11%, 5.6% and 0.4%, respectively. Patients with PC≥II, PF or IA, PN and AL was 17.4%, 5%, 1% and 2.3%, respectively. Patients with PC≥II were significantly elder (p=0.01) and had higher pre-serum-C-reactive protein level (CRP) (p=0.02). Also, patients with AL had significantly higher Body Mass Index (BMI) (p=0.04). We devised “ABC score” by Age, BMI and CRP. It is defined as a number of factors in age, BMI and CRP that are higher than cutoff value of 66 years’ old, 23 kg/m2 and 0.04 mg/dL, respectively. Patients with ABCs 0, 1, 2, and 3 were 26%, 33%, 34% and 7%, respectively. Patients with ABCs 3 had significant high risk of PC≥II and AL (HR 2.8, p=0.03 and HR 9.9, p=0.004, respectively). Also we found higher ABCs has higher risk of AL (HR1.2, p=0.07 for ABCs 2 and HR2.2, p=0.04 for ABCs 3). Conclusions: ABCs can be a PF for PC in patients with LG. Especially it may evaluate an incidence ratio of AL.

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between serum C reactive protein (CRP) levels, genetic variation in the CRP gene and the prevalence, incidence and progression of radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) in the Rotterdam Study-I (RS-I). A systematic review of studies assessing the relationship between osteoarthritis (OA) and CRP levels was also performed.MethodsThe association between CRP levels and genetic variation in the CRP gene and ROA was examined in 861 patients with hand OA, 718 with knee OA, 349 with hip OA and 2806 controls in the RS-I using one-way analysis of covariance and logistic regression, respectively. PubMed was searched for articles published between January 1992 and August 2009 assessing the relationship between CRP levels and OA.ResultsIn RS-I the prevalence of knee OA, but not hip OA or hand OA, was associated with 14% higher serum CRP levels compared with controls (p=0.001). This association disappeared after adjustment for age and especially body mass index (BMI) (p=0.33). Genetic variation of the CRP gene was not consistently associated with the prevalence, incidence or progression of OA within RS-I. The systematic review included 18 studies (including RS-I) on serum CRP levels and the prevalence, incidence or progression of OA. Consistently higher crude CRP levels were found in cases of prevalent knee OA compared with controls. No association was observed between serum CRP levels and the prevalence of knee OA following adjustment for BMI (n=3 studies, meta-analysis p value=0.61).ConclusionThere is no evidence of association between serum CRP levels or genetic variation in the CRP gene with the prevalence, incidence or progression of OA independent of BMI.

Context: Insulin sensitivity is higher in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) than in body mass index-matched obese controls (OCs). Factors contributing to the heightened insulin sensitivity of PWS remain obscure. We compared the fasting levels of various hormones, cytokines, lipids, and liver function tests in 14 PWS patients and 14 OCs with those in 14 age- and gender-matched lean children (LC). We hypothesized that metabolic profiles of children with PWS are comparable with those of LC, but different from those of OCs. Results: Leptin levels were comparable in PWS patients and OCs, suggesting comparable degrees of adiposity. Glucose levels were comparable among groups. However, fasting insulin concentrations and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index were lower in PWS patients than in OCs (P < 0.05) and similar to LC. Moreover, high-density lipoprotein levels were lower and triglycerides higher in OCs (P < 0.05) but not PWS patients. Total adiponectin, high-molecular-weight (HMW) adiponectin and the HMW to total adiponectin ratio were higher in PWS patients (P < 0.05) than in OCs and similar to LC. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein and IL-6 levels were higher in OCs than in PWS patients or LC (P < 0.05). Nevertheless, PAI-1 levels were elevated in both OC and PWS patients. There were no group differences in glucagon-like peptide-1, macrophage chemoattractant protein-1, TNFα, IL-2, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-18, resistin, total or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, or alanine aminotransferase. Conclusions: The heightened insulin sensitivity of PWS patients relative to OCs is associated with higher levels of adiponectin and lower levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and IL-6. Future studies will determine whether PWS children are protected from obesity comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
