Access to life-saving lung transplantation remains limited by a shortage of donor organs. We have previously described rehabilitation discarded human lungs quality suitable for using cross-circulation whole blood between xeno-support swine and lungs. However, the immunologic implications transplanting rehabilitated remain unknown. Human declined clinical (N=5) underwent xenogeneic up 12 hours. To model subsequent transplantation, were re-exposed autologous via normothermic ex vivo machine...
Abstract Background Although pulmonary metastasectomy is an accepted treatment strategy for resectable lung metastases (LM) from colorectal cancer (CRC), its survival benefits are controversial. In contrast, recent advancements in chemotherapy have significantly improved metastatic CRC prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate outcome of LM the age newly developed chemotherapy. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 50 patients who underwent complete resection and 22 received as definitive...
BACKGROUND:Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is an uncommon phenomenon in which a primary tumor metastasizes into another tumor. CASE REPORT:An 81-year-old Asian woman was referred to our hospital for evaluation and treatment of solid mass the right middle lung lobe that had rapidly enlarged 1.5 years compared observed over last 5 years. On computed tomography (CT), 68×60 mm, 2 different tumors appeared exist upper portion mass. Blood examination findings revealed high serum levels...
Donation after circulatory death (DCD) livers face increased risks of critical complications when preserved with static cold storage (SCS). Although machine perfusion (MP) may mitigate these risks, its cost and logistical complexity limit widespread application. We developed the Dynamic Organ Storage System (DOSS), which delivers oxygenated perfusate at 10°C minimal electrical power requirement allows real-time effluent sampling in a portable cooler. In porcine DCD model, were using DOSS or...

Duodenal ulcer bleeding is a potentially life-threatening condition commonly caused by the erosion of duodenal arteries.A 55-year-old male was referred to our hospital with abdominal pain for past 3 days. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen revealed wall thickening in descending part duodenum and cystic lesion (27 × 19 mm) contiguous duodenum, an accumulation fluid. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed significantly stenotic which prevented passage endoscope evaluation main lesion....

Abstract Background Hemobilia refers to bleeding into the biliary tract. Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAP) rupture is an uncommon cause of hemobilia, and cases HAP associated with Mirizzi syndrome are extremely rare. Although transarterial embolization recommended as first-line treatment for surgery sometimes required. Case presentation A 76-year-old woman was referred our hospital epigastric pain. She febrile had conjunctival icterus tenderness. Laboratory tests revealed abnormal white...
Pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma (PPC) is a relatively rare and poorly differentiated non-small cell carcinoma. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features including programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression status in patients with PPC who underwent curative resection.We retrospectively studied 29 consecutive had undergone anatomical lung resections for PPC. Perioperative pathological variables, radiological findings, were investigated define prognostic factors.Overall...
<b>Background:</b> Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a relatively rare disease, which form of recurring in women reproductive age. The actual cause still unclear. <b>Objectives:</b> To perform histopathologic evaluation the etiology CP. <b>Methods:</b> We retrospectively reviewed intraoperative findings and pathological specimens with who underwent surgery from January 2014 to December 2019. Five patients were suspected CP based on clinical history, computed tomography images showed no bullae....
Abstract Background Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are increasing worldwide, making them an international public health problem. Surgical management is often indicated for localized infectious disease; however, most surgeons unaware of the potential risks transmission during surgery. Case presentation An 88-year-old Asian female was referred to our hospital a tumor in right lateral thoracic region. One month prior, she had feeling fullness and complained pain warmth wall....
