In addition, fluorinated particles and lens-shaped particles with carboxylate groups are successfully grafted with DNA strands in this manner. Janus parti-cles are also functionalized with DNA strands selectively on one of the two faces. Owing to the anisotropic attraction, the DNA-coated Janus particles self-assemble into self-limiting aggregates.Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most important morbidity and mortality reasons and it creates a cumulative economic and social burden. Aims To determine the distribution of the prevalence of patients in Turkey who were diagnosed with COPD and their morbidity rates, regarding their region and cities. Moreover, it was targeted to contribute to the prevention and cure services of COPD to be planned in the future. Study Design A retrospective cohort. Methods The database of the Social Security Institution from 2016 has been scanned. All the data with prescription registration, with the code ICD-10, J44.0-J44.9 which were aimed for diagnosing and/or cure has been evaluated with a retrospective cohort. Results In 2016, 955,369 patients who had outpatient admissions to the hospitals were diagnosed with COPD. The average number of annual admitted COPD cases was 2.09. 20% of outpatient hospitalizations were accepted to the emergency room. The rate of hospitalization among the applicants is 7.75%, with a total of 1.587.134. The average annual number of hospitalizations of men was higher than that of women. The average number of hospitalization days was 6.52. The region with the highest prevalence of outpatient admission and hospitalization was the Black Sea region. Conclusion The high rate of hospitalization is considered to be the outcome of the insufficient “outpatient” management.Nasal metastases from colorectal cancer is rare. The presentation of nasal metastases is often very similar to primary nasal sinus adenocarcinoma. A high index of suspicion is required, especially in patients who have had a previous history of colorectal carcinoma. Histology is ultimately required for diagnosis. We describe two cases of nasal metastases from colorectal carcinoma, and discuss the presentation, diagnosis and management of the case. Such metastatic disease ultimately represents end-stage malignancy, and patients should be palliated.Actinomycosis is a rare chronic bacterial infection primarily caused by Actinomyces israelii. A 47-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a 1-week history of low abdominal pain. Preoperative imaging studies revealed multiple peritoneal and pelvic masses suggestive of malignancy. The primary tumor could not be identified despite further endoscopic and gynecological evaluation. On exploration for tissue confirmation, excisional biopsy of the multiple masses was performed because complete excision was not possible. Histopathological examination confirmed actinomycosis with multiple abscesses, and the patient was treated with antibiotics. We present a case of disseminated peritoneal actinomycosis mimicking malignant peritoneal carcinomatosis on imaging studies.Purpose The impact of postoperative complications on long-term oncologic outcome after radical colorectal cancer surgery is controversial. The aim of this study was to examine the risk factors and oncologic outcomes of surgery-related postoperative complication groups. Methods From January to December, 2010, 310 patients experienced surgery-related postoperative complications after radical colorectal cancer surgery. These stage I - III patients were classified into two subgroups, minor (grade I, II) and major (grade III, IV) complication groups, according to extended Clavien-Dindo classification system criteria. We analyzed the clinicopathological differences between the two groups to identify risk factors for increasing major complications. We also compared the disease-free survival of surgery-related postoperative complication groups. Results The minor and major complication groups were stratified with 194 (62.6%) and 116 (37.4%) patients, respectively. The risk factors influencing the major complication group were the pathologic N category and operative method. The prognostic factors associated with disease-free survival were preoperative perforation, perineural invasion, tumor budding, and receiving neoadjuvant therapy. With a median follow-up period of 72.2 months, the 5-year disease-free survival rates were 84.4% in the minor group and 78.5% in the major group, but there was no statistical significance between the minor and major groups (P = 0.392). Conclusion Advanced cancer and open surgery were identified as risk factors for increased surgery-related major complications after radical colorectal cancer surgery. However, the severity of postoperative complications did not affect disease-free survival from colorectal cancer.Purpose Limited data exist on the use of low midline and transverse incisions for specimen extraction or stoma sites in laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery (LRCS). We compared the short-term and medium-term outcomes of these incisions, and assessed whether wound complications of specimen extraction site (SES) which is utilized as stoma site are increased in LRCS. Epibrassinolide clinical trial Methods From March 2010 to December 2017, 189 patients who underwent LRCS and specimen extraction through low abdominal incisions were divided into two groups midline (n=102) and transverse (n=87) groups, and perioperative outcomes were compared. Results The midline group showed higher the frequency of temporary stoma formation (p=0.001) and splenic flexure mobilization (p less then 0.001) than transverse group. The overall incisional hernia and wound infection rates in the SES were 21.6% and 25.5%, respectively, in the midline group and 26.4% and 17.2%, respectively, in the transverse group (p=0.494 and p=0.232, respectively). In patients who underwent specimen extraction through stoma site (SESS), the incisional hernia and wound infection rates of SES after stoma closure were 39.1% and 43.5%, respectively, in the midline group, and 35.5% and 22.6%, respectively, in the transverse group (p=0.840 and p=0.035, respectively). Conclusions In terms of incisional hernia and wound infection of SES, a low midline incision may be used as a low transverse incision in patients without temporary stoma in LRCS. However, considering the high wound complication rates after stoma closure in patients with SESS in this study, SESS would be performed with caution in LRCS.
