Stimulation of the vagus nerve attenuates macrophage activation by activating the Jak2-STAT3 signaling pathway.

TL;DR: In a mouse model of intestinal manipulation, stimulation of the vagus nerve ameliorated surgery-induced inflammation and postoperative ileus by activating STAT3 in intestinal macrophages and it is concluded that the vagal anti-inflammatory pathway acts by α7 subunit–mediated Jak2-STAT3 activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laparoscopic versus open pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic or periampullary tumours (LEOPARD-2) : a multicentre, patient-blinded, randomised controlled phase 2/3 trial

Jony van Hilst, +99 more
TL;DR: This multicentre, patient-blinded, parallel-group, randomised controlled phase 2/3 trial was performed in four centres in the Netherlands to assess whether laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy could reduce time to functional recovery compared with open pancreatic fistula.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repression of Smoothened by Patched-Dependent (Pro-)Vitamin D3 Secretion

TL;DR: Hh activates its signalling cascade by inhibiting Ptch1-dependent secretion of the 3β-hydroxysteroid (pro-)vitamin D3, which establishes Hh as a unique morphogen, because binding of Hh on one cell is capable of activating Hh-dependent signalling cascades on other cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variation at 2p13.3, 3q29, 7p13 and 17q25.1 associated with susceptibility to pancreatic cancer

Erica J. Childs, +62 more
- 30 Aug 2015 - 
TL;DR: This study identifies new loci associated with pancreatic cancer risk in North America, Central Europe and Australia and replicated previously reported associations at 9q34.2 (ABO), 13q22.1 (KLF5), 5p15.33 (TERT and CLPTM1) and 13q12.4 (NR5A2), a region with previous suggestive evidence in Han Chinese.
