Development of a fogless scope and its analysis using infrared radiation pyrometer
Background: In laparoscopic surgery, fogging of the lens tip instantly degrades the quality of image and interrupts the flow of surgical maneuvers. External warming devices prevent fogging for a ...

Liver metastasis following pneumoperitoneum with different gases in a mouse model
The validity of using CO2 in laparoscopic tumor surgery has not yet been established. To address this question, we investigated the growth of liver metastases following insufflation with different gases in a mous...

Liver metastases are less established after gasless laparoscopy than after carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum and laparotomy in a mouse model
Background: Although the liver is the most frequent site of cancer recurrence after conventional open surgery for colorectal cancer, the effect of laparoscopic procedures with or without gas insufflation on th...

A dual-view endoscope with image shift
We present a new endoscopic system that provides two different views simultaneously, one is a wide view (120 degrees) and the other is a zoomed view with image-shift mechanism. A Porro prism (II) is used to sh...

Increased insufflation pressure enhances the development of liver metastasis in a mouse laparoscopy model
Background: The effect of different insufflation pressures and durations of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the growth of liver metastasis was investigated in a mouse model. The possible mechanisms involved in the pre...

Open AccessInduction of vasculogenesis in breast cancer models
Recently, there have been reports of postnatal vasculogenesis in cases of ischaemia models. The aim of the present study is to provide evidence of postnatal vasculogenesis in breast-cancer–bearing mice. Based ...

Comparison of the effects of gasless procedure, CO2-pneumoperitoneum, and laparotomy on splenic and hepatic natural killer activity in a rat model
Background: Natural killer (NK) activity plays an important role in the prevention of tumor metastasis. However, few studies compared changes in NK activities between gas(less) laparoscop...
