Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) during liver transplantation increases morbidity and contributes to allograft dysfunction. There are no therapeutic strategies mitigate IRI. We examined a novel hypothesis: caspase 1 11 serve as danger-associated molecular pattern (DAMPs) sensors in By performing microarray analysis using 1/caspase double-knockout (Casp DKO) mice, we show that the canonical non-canonical inflammasome regulators upregulated mouse Ischemic pre (IPC)- post-conditioning (IPO)...
Background:The advancement and development of laparoscopic cholecystectomy revolutionized surgery case management. Many procedures are routinely performed laparoscopically. Single incision has been introduced with the hope further reduction scarring possibly procedural pain. With no established technique for this procedure, safety single not determined.Methods Results:A 30-year-old man underwent symptomatic cholelithiasis at an outside hospital. The operation was uneventful, patient...
Introduction:Composite mesh prostheses incorporate the properties of multiple materials for ventral hernia repair.This study evaluated a polypropylene/ePTFE composite with novel internal polydioxanone (PDO) absorbable ring.Methods: Composite was placed intraperitoneally in 16 pigs through an open laparotomy and explanted at 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks.Intraabdominal adhesions were measured laparoscopically.Host tissue in-growth assessed histologically tensiometrically.Degradation PDO ring component...
It is thought that free muscle flaps may remain dependent on their original pedicle for more than 1-year postoperation, particularly in the lower extremity of patients with peripheral vascular disease. We present first case report bilateral salvage a single rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap by transecting main pedicle. The flap, going to contralateral extremity, was safely divided at 6-weeks postoperation. A tourniquet used compress division point assess viability distal occlusion prior...
Sir: Posttraumatic frontal sinus infections can be life threatening, ranging from implant and osteomyelitis, to mucopyocele, meningitis, brain abscess.1,2 We present a new approach the management of these infections. Antibiotic-impregnated cement beads have been used extensively in treatment osteomyelitis long bones, but facial skeleton, it has only reported mandibular osteomyelitis.3,4 report three cases which antibiotic polymethylmethacrylate was successfully treat posttraumatic Three...
Perioperative blood transfusions and operative time are surgical quality indicators. The aim of this analysis is to determine which these variables drives post-hepatectomy outcomes.Patients undergoing major or partial hepatectomy were identified in the 2014-2018 American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program targeted database. Prolonged was defined as ≥ 240 minutes. Multivariable logistic regressions performed for multiple postoperative outcomes.Of 20 521...
