The purpose of our study was to determine prospectively the value helical CT and various signs ischemia in context acute bowel obstruction.All patients seen over a 3-year period with diagnosis small-bowel obstruction were included. There 144 examinations 142 patients. Images interpreted consensus by fellow an experienced gastrointestinal radiologist. Attention focused on presence following strangulation ischemia: reduced enhancement wall, mural thickening, mesenteric fluid, congestion small...
A 67000 Mr bovine pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (bPAG) has been isolated from fetal cotyledons and purified to homogeneity by HPLC. The purification was monitored a double immunodiffusion test RIA in conjunction with an antiserum raised against crude fraction of placenta-specific antigens. molecular weight bPAG estimated be SDS-PAGE. isoelectric points (pI) the four isoforms, determined high-resolution analytical electrofocusing polyacrylamide gel, were 4.4, 4.6, 5.2, 5.4. carbohydrate...
Chemokines and their receptors are involved in tumourigenicity clinicopathological significance of chemokines receptor expression pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) is not fully understood. This study was conducted to determine patients' outcome according the expressions CXCR4, CXCR7 HIF-1α after resection PA. Immunohistochemistry for as well cell proliferative index (Ki-67) 71 resected (R0) PA 48 related lymph nodes (LN) using tissue microarray. CXCR4 were positively correlated suggesting a...
Clusterin is, in its major form, a secreted heterodimeric disulfide-linked glycoprotein (75–80 kDa). It was first linked to cell death the rat ventral prostate after androgen deprivation. Recent studies have demonstrated that overexpression of clusterin prostatic cells protects them against tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα)-induced apoptosis. However details this survival mechanism remain undefined. Here, we investigate how prevents from undergoing TNFα-induced We established double-stable line...

To prospectively determine whether dynamic contrast material-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (MR) quantitative parameters correlate with fibrosis and microvascular density (MVD) in malignant benign solid pancreatic focal lesions nontumoral tissue.The institutional review board approved the study; written informed consent was obtained. DCE MR performed 28 patients surgically resectable lesions. derived from one-compartment (OC) (transfer rate constant [K(trans)] distribution fraction [ƒ])...
Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is associated with significantly reduced cumulative postoperative morphine consumption in comparison opioid-based (OBA). Whether OFA feasible and may improve outcomes pancreatic surgery remains unclear.Perioperative data from 77 consecutive patients who underwent resection were included retrospectively reviewed. Patients received either an OBA intraoperative remifentanil (n = 42) or 35). a combination of continuous infusions dexmedetomidine, lidocaine,...
In adhesive small bowel obstruction, the early recognition of complications such as strangulation or volvulus is essential to choose between surgical conservative initial treatment. The objective this study was determine prospectively contribution computed tomography (CT) decision making in management these patients.Patients with suspected obstruction had CT at admission. Patients signs and/or clinical peritoneal irritation underwent urgent surgery; other patients treatment.Fifty-four were...
<b>Background and study aims:</b> Paraduodenal pancreatitis is histologically well defined but its epidemiology, natural history, connection with chronic are not completely understood. The aim of this was to review the endoscopic medical management paraduodenal pancreatitis. <b>Patients methods:</b> Medical records all patients diagnosed by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) or ultrasonography (EUS) between 1995 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical features, imaging...
We have studied dose-dependent effects of highly purified human PRL (39 IU/mg) on the testis immature (22-day-old) hypophysectomized rats daily supplemented for 7 days with 2, 10, or 30 micrograms hormone. Dose-dependent stimulation was observed all parameters: weight (1.6- and 2-fold above control 10 PRL), basal hCG-stimulated testosterone (14- 21-fold), intratesticular (7- 21-fold) estradiol (1.2- 1.5-fold), LH receptor concentration (1.8- 2.5-fold), in vitro pregnenolone production by...
Since insulin-like growth factors I (IGF-I) and II (IGF-II) appeared involved in paracrine or autocrine regulation of both cell multiplication differentiation the rat testis, we have investigated pituitary hormonal dependence IGF-I IGF-II mRNA production testis immature hypophysectomized rats (22 days old) supplemented with highly purified FSH, LH, GH PRL. Our data show that testicular expression as measured by dot-blot hybridization, is increased FSH treatments 7-, 6-, 4-fold, respectively,...
BACKGROUND Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) has been associated with improved patient outcomes. However, implementation of GDFT protocols remains low despite growing published evidence and the recommendations multiple regulatory bodies in Europe. We developed a closed-loop-assisted management system linked to pulse contour monitor assist anaesthesiologists applying GDFT. OBJECTIVE To assess impact our closed-loop patients undergoing major abdominal surgery an academic hospital without...
