There was no significant difference in recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the RR and LE groups among patients with tumors ≤2cm(P=0.220), and the RR group had a superior RFS than the LE group in patients with tumors >2cm(P=0.046). LE resulted in improved postoperative outcomes and comparable oncological safety with a low rectal GIST of ≤2cm. However, for patients with a low rectal GIST of >2cm, RR might be a more appropriate option with better RFS. 2 cm, RR might be a more appropriate option with better RFS. The Dutch Gynecological Oncology Audit (DGOA) was initiated in 2014 to serve as a nationwide audit, which registers the four most prevalent gynecological malignancies. This study presents the first results of clinical auditing for ovarian cancer in the Netherlands. The Dutch Gynecological Oncology Audit is facilitated by the Dutch Institute of Clinical Auditing (DICA) and run by a scientific committee. Items are collected through a web-based registration based on a set of predefined quality indicators. Results of quality indicators are shown, and benchmarked information is given back to the user. Data verification was done in 2016. Between January 01, 2014 and December 31, 2018, 6535 patients with ovarian cancer were registered. The case ascertainment was 98.3% in 2016. The number of patients with ovarian cancer who start therapy within 28 days decreased over time from 68.7% in 2014 to 62.7% in 2018 (p < 0.001). The percentage of patients with primary cytoreductive surgery decreased over time (57.8%-39.7%, P < 0.001). However, patients with complete primary cytoreductive surgery improved over time (53.5%-69.1%, P < 0.001). Other quality indicators did not significantly change over time. The Dutch Gynecological Oncology Audit provides valuable data on the quality of care on patients with ovarian cancer in the Netherlands. Data show variation between hospitals with regard to pre-determined quality indicators. Results of 'best practices' will be shared with all participants of the clinical audit with the aim of improving quality of care nationwide.

Periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus (DM) are both chronic inflammatory and highly prevalent diseases. A large amount of evidence suggested that the accumulation of oxidative stress plays a significant role in the deterioration of both diseases. Magnolol has been known to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities in various tissues, but its effects on gingival cells under diabetic conditions have not been fully understood. We assessed the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), Transwell migration, and wound healing ability in response to the advanced glycation end products (AGEs) stimulation with or without Magnolol treatment. Subsequently, we examined the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 to ascertain whether Magnolol was able to activate the anti-oxidant signaling. We also measured the secretion of IL-6 and IL-8, and conducted a knockdown experiment to elucidate the effect of Mrf2 on their secretion. The AGEs-induced ROS was dose-dependently downregulated following the Magnolol treatml disease. Several previous studies have reported higher serum tumor marker levels in patients with oral or head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. This study evaluated whether 232 patients with oral precancerous lesions (oral precancer patients) had significantly higher serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), and ferritin levels than healthy control subjects.
