Concrete Filled FRP (Reinforced Polymeric Plastic) Tubes (CFFT) and Reinforced Concrete Filled FRP Tubes (RCFFT) are known to have the capability to enhance structural performance in terms of structural stability, ductility, as well as chemical resistance when compared with conventional concrete members. In this study, the authors evaluate the structural performance of the CFFT and the RCFFT through flexural tests for the purpose of applying the members as flexural ones. Moreover, the compressive behavior of the CFFT and the RCFFT members was investigated to examine their confinement effects. Based on the experimental and analytical results of the compressive behavior of the members, equations for estimating the ultimate compressive strengths of the CFFT and the RCFFT were proposed. In addition, the degree of improvement on the flexural performance of the RCFFT member strengthened by the FRP was analyzed from the flexural tests.

Objective:The laparoscopic approach for locally advanced gastric cancer has recently been adopted based on the results of several randomized controlled trials(RCTs).However,findings from RCTs have not been examined at the national *** study aimed to investigate the external validity of the Korean Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery Study-02(KLASS-02)trial involving 13 tertiary hospitals,using data from the Korean Gastric Cancer Association(KGCA)-led nationwide survey involving 68 tertiary or general ***:Data on patients who underwent laparoscopic or open distal gastrectomy for pathological stageⅠB-ⅢC gastric cancer under the same conditions were collected from the KLASS-02 trial and the KGCA nationwide survey *** outcomes were assessed for each dataset and multivariable analyses were performed to examine the effect of the laparoscopic approach on surgical ***:The laparoscopic group had a lower overall complication rate than the open group in both KLASS-02and KGCA datasets(16.1%vs.23.5%for the KLASS-02 and 12.6%vs.19.6%for the KGCA).Moreover,the laparoscopic group had fewer wound problems,and fewer gradeⅡ,Ⅲa,andⅣcomplications than the open group in the KGCA data(0.8%vs.3.4%,5.8%vs.10.4%,2.3%vs.3.7%,and 0.5%vs.1.4%,respectively),which were not observed in the KLASS-02 *** analyses revealed that the laparoscopic approach was not associated with overall complications,but reduced wound problems and more harvested lymph nodes in the KGCA survey data(adjusted odds ratios,0.19 for wound problems,adjustedβcoefficient 4.39 for number of harvested lymph nodes),which were not shown in the KLASS-02 ***:The safety and feasibility of the laparoscopic approach for locally advanced gastric cancer were validated at a national *** laparoscopic approach for locally advanced gastric cancer can be implemented in the Republic of Korea.
