Abstract
Background Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and is the third most common cause of cancer related death. Improving postoperative results by understanding risk factors which impact outcomes is important. The current study aimed to compare immediate perioperative outcomes following gastrectomy. Methods 302 patients following gastric resections over a 10-year period (January 2009-January 2020) were identified in a database and retrospectively analysed. Epidemiological as well as perioperative data was analysed, and a univariate and multivariate analysis performed to identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality. Results In general, gastrectomies were mainly performed electively (total vs. subtotal 95% vs. 85%, p = 0.004). Patients having subtotal gastrectomy needed significantly more PRBC transfusions compared to total gastrectomy (p = 0.039). Most emergency surgeries were performed for benign diseases, such as ulcer perforations or bleeding and gastric ischaemia. Only emergency surgery was significantly associated with poorer overall survival (HR 2.68, 95% CI 1.32-5.05, p = 0.003). Conclusion In-hospital mortality was comparable between total and subtotal gastrectomies. Only emergency interventions increased postoperative fatality risk.

Abstract
Early gastric cancer (EGC) has excellent postoperative survival outcomes; thus, one of the recent keywords in the treatment of EGC is "function-preserving gastrectomy (FPG)." FPG reduces the extent of lymphadenectomy and gastric resection without compromising the long-term prognosis. Proximal gastrectomy (PG) is an alternative to total gastrectomy (TG) for EGC in the upper-third of the stomach, in which the gastric reservoir, gastric acid secretion, and intrinsic factors are maintained. Distal gastrectomy (DG) with a small remnant stomach, namely subtotal gastrectomy (STG), is another option for upper EGC, where the function of the cardia and fundus is preserved. Pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) is a good alternative to DG for EGC in the middle-third of the stomach, where pyloric function is preserved. Following elucidation of the markedly low incidences of possible metastasis to lymph node stations where dissection is omitted, the oncological safety of these FPG procedures was clarified. Nutritional advantages of PG or STG over TG have been reported; however, the standardized reconstruction methods after PG are yet to be established, and it is important to devise methods to prevent postoperative gastroesophageal reflux and anastomotic complications regardless of the reconstruction method. Nutritional benefits of PPG compared with DG have also been clarified, in which reducing postoperative gastric stasis is important. For the further spread of these FPG procedures, several issues, such as precise evaluation of preserved function, confirmation of oncological safety, and standardization of the technique, should be addressed in future prospective randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
Gastrosplenic fistula is a very rare entity, most commonly occurring as a distinctive complication of splenic or gastric malignancies, most notably diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Benign gastric ulcer, splenic abscess, and Crohn's disease have also been reported as possible causes. We report a nonmalignant case of 16-year–old male with a gastrosplenic fistula of unclear etiology. The fistulous tract was confirmed by an upper endoscopy and an upper gastrointestinal series. Subsequently, it was surgically managed with a subtotal gastrectomy with “Roux-en-Y” reconstruction and a feeding jejunostomy.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the analgesic effect and safety of the application of different doses of nalbuphine in patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) for patients undergoing subtotal gastrectomy. A total of 120 patients, who underwent subtotal gastrectomy at our hospital between May, 2015 and January, 2017 under combined spinal epidural combined anesthesia, were selected. The patients received PCIA after surgery. The patients were randomly divided into four groups, including the morphine (MOP group), nalbuphine 60 mg (N60 group), nalbuphine 80 mg (N80 group) and nalbuphine 100 mg (N100 group). The first dose of PCIA treatment was 2 ml, the background dose was 2 ml/h, PCIA dose was 0.5 ml, and the lockout time was 15 min. Postoperative vital signs and adverse reactions (bleeding, fullness and aching of upper abdomen and vomiting) were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and Ramsay sedation score of patients were evaluated. The number of PCIA and analgesia-related complications during analgesia were recorded. No significant differences in general data were found among the four groups (P>0.05). The VAS score of the three nalbuphine groups was lower than that of the MOP group, but the differences were not significant. All postoperative Ramsay sedation scores of the four groups showed appropriate sedation, but no significant differences were found between the groups. Compared with the MOP group, the use of postoperative PCIA was significantly delayed and the number of PCIA was significantly smaller in the three nalbuphine groups (P<0.05). The results show that the analgesic effect and safety of the use of PCIA for patients undergoing subtotal gastrectomy were satisfactory.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of acupuncture combined with general anesthesia on postoperative immune and cognitive functions in elderly patients undergoing subtotal gastrectomy. We recruited 96 elderly patients who received anesthesia for subtotal gastrectomy and randomly divided them into control (n=48) and experimental (n=48) groups. The control group received general anesthesia and the experimental group received combined acupuncture and general anesthesia. We measured hemodynamic immediately before and after anesthesia induction, and immune observations before and after surgery. We found no significant differences in mean heart rate (HR), mean oxygen saturation (SpO2), and partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) in the perioperative period between the two groups. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was lower in the experimental group than that in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3+), CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in both groups were significantly lower after surgery in both groups (P<0.05). We also found some time-points in which the immune markers where significantly higher in the experimental group. In terms of adverse reactions, there were no differences in nausea, vomiting, and hypoxemia between the two groups (P>0.05), but the incidence of delayed recovery and postoperative agitation were significantly lower in the experimental group compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). One day after surgery, the experimental group showed better protection of cognitive function than the control group (P<0.05). Overall, combined acupuncture and general anesthesia in elderly gastric cancer patients receiving subtotal gastrectomy showed more stable hemodynamics and fewer stress responses during surgery. Thus, combined acupuncture and general anesthesia can shorten the recovery time from anesthesia, have less negative effects on immune function and decrease the incidence of postoperative cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Objectives This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was conducted to give a more precise estimation of the efficacy and drawbacks of total gastrectomy (TG) versus subtotal gastrectomy (SG) for proven distal gastric cancer. Methods The electronic databases Cochrane and PubMed (updated on April 10, 2016) were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing TG with SG as surgical procedures for distal gastric cancer. Five outcome variables were analyzed, including postoperative complications, anastomotic fistula rate, hospital mortality rate, mortality rate of recurrence (the patient’s death is caused by the recurrence of gastric cancer, rather than caused by other diseases), and 5-year survival rate. Random or fixed effect model was used to perform this meta-analysis. Results Six trials, including 573 cases treated with TG and 791 cases treated with SG, were included. Compared with patients in the SG group, patients in the TG group did not show a higher rate of postoperative complications (odds ratio [OR]: 1.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.71–3.03, P=0.30). However, patients in the TG group showed a significantly higher rate of anastomotic fistula than patients in the SG group (OR: 3.78, 95% CI: 1.97–7.27, P<0.0001). Hospital mortality rate, which was analyzed in four trials, including 510 TG versus 729 SG patients, showed no significant difference between the two groups (OR: 1.80, 95% CI: 0.85–3.78, P=0.12). Importantly, there was no significant difference in the 5-year survival between the two groups (OR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.39–1.19, P=0.18). Mortality rate of recurrence, which was also analyzed in three trials, including 396 TG versus 407 SG patients, showed a significantly higher rate in the TG group (OR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.01–0.13, P=0.03). Conclusion This meta-analysis demonstrated that postoperative complications, hospital mortality rate, and 5-year survival rate in TG patients was similar to the SG group. Furthermore, SG was associated with significantly fewer anastomotic fistula and lower mortality rate of recurrence compared with TG. However, lower mortality rate of recurrence was probably related to the criteria of these two procedures.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of general anesthesia on serum β-amyloid protein (Aβ) and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) of elderly patients after subtotal gastrectomy. From June, 2014 to December, 2015, among 168 patients undergoing subtotal gastrectomy, the Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment was administered the day prior to surgery and the second and ninth days after the operation. In addition, we administered the tests to 168 healthy adult volunteers (healthy controls) who were treated in our hospital medical center in the same period. Near-infrared spectroscopy technology was used for continuous monitoring of the intraoperative rSO2, and the mean of intraoperative rSO2 was then calculated. Of the 168 patients, 28 developed postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and the remaining 140 patients were normal (control). The ELISA method was used to test the expression levels of serum Aβ in the three groups and statistical analyses were conducted. Serum Aβ level in the POCD group was significantly higher than that in the control and healthy control groups, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The rSO2 level in the patients with POCD was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). The correlation analysis with Aβ as an independent variable and other factors as dependent variables revealed that the serum Aβ level negatively correlated with rSO2 (r=-1.6749, P<0.05). The combined Aβ and rSO2 may be useful for the diagnosis and prevention of POCD after subtotal gastrectomy under general anesthesia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) is a widely accepted surgery for early gastric cancer. However, its use in advanced gastric cancer has rarely been studied. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and survival outcomes of LADG for pT2 gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2009, we evaluated 67 and 52 patients who underwent open distal gastrectomy (ODG) and LADG, respectively, with diagnosis of pT2 gastric cancer. The clinicopathological characteristics, postoperative outcomes, and survival were retrospectively compared between the two groups. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences in the proximal margin of the clinicopathological parameters. The operation time was significantly longer in LADG than in ODG (207.7 vs. 159.9 minutes). There were 6 (9.0%) and 5 (9.6%) complications in ODG and LADG, respectively. During follow-up periods, tumor recurrence occurred in 7 (10.4%) patients of the ODG and in 4 (7.7%) patients of the LADG group. The 5-year survival rate of ODG and LADG was 88.6% and 91.3% (p=0.613), respectively. In view of lymph node involvement, 5-year survival rates were 96.0% in ODG versus 97.0% in LADG for patients with negative nodal metastasis (p=0.968) and 80.9% in ODG versus 78.7% in LADG for those with positive nodal metastasis (p=0.868). CONCLUSION Although prospective study is necessary to compare LADG with open gastrectomy for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer, laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy might be considered as an alternative treatment for some pT2 gastric cancer.
