AIMTo demonstrate the clinical outcomes of a multicenter experience and to suggest guidelines for choosing suction method. METHODSThis retrospective study at 5 medical centers involved 58 consecutive patients undergoing over-the-scope clips (OTSCs) placement.The overall rates technical success (TSR), (CSR), complications, procedure time were analyzed as major outcomes.Subsequently, 56 patients, excluding two cases that used Anchor device, divided into groups: 14 simple (SS-group) 42 using...
Abstract Background Chemoresistance is a serious problem in pancreatic cancer, but the mechanism of resistance and strategies against have not been elucidated. We examined potential phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt inhibitor LY294002 to enhance anti-tumor effect cisplatin investigated chemoresistance cancer cells using combination therapy LY294002, both vitro vivo . Methods Cisplatin individually or combination, were given AsPC-1 PANC-1 cell lines. Tumor growth, DNA fragments, Akt...
The distally based sural flap has become popular for reconstruction of the foot and leg. However, this often fails due to venous congestion. In report, we developed a new modification flap. procedure comprised three stages. first stage, was raised cephalad midpoint posterior aspect leg, involving reanastomosis short saphenous vein (SSV) at proximal end second ligature SSV performed. third entire raised. We treated eight patients with All flaps survived completely. Duplex scanning indicated...
Hand reconstruction methods using posterior interosseous flaps have the merits of being thin and pliable, they do not require sacrifice any major hand arteries, closure donor site is readily performed. Drawbacks include unreliability blood flow due to presence artery anatomic variants or damage venous circulation. We present some modifications for preparation with which we achieved favorable results.
The upper eyelid is very difficult to reconstruct because smooth opening and closure of the must be maintained. A patient presented in whom a hard palate mucosa-lined bipedicled myocutaneous flap containing innervated orbicularis oculi was used successfully subtotal defect. Good functional aesthetic results were achieved. This method may good alternative for reconstruction large defects.
A reliable full-thickness suturing device is necessary for pure natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). The present study focused on assessing the reliability of a new device.A total 60 single sutures were tested to close 5-cm incisions in 8-cm square pieces resected swine stomach. Each incision was sutured by an over-the-scope clip (OTSC; n = 20), hand-sewn stitch (n or triple-arm-bar system (TBSS) stitch. maximum pulling force durability (MPD) each suture tested. To assess...
The patient was a 52-year-old man who presented with right inguinal swelling and pain. He had undergone kidney transplantation in 2005 bypass surgery using vascular prosthesis from the left axillary artery to bilateral femoral arteries 2008. invaded canal ventrally. transplanted ureter hazy appearance on non-enhanced abdominal CT scan. A Lichtenstein operation performed under diagnosis of hernia. skin incision pulling tissue subcutaneous fat devised avoid exposure prosthesis. spermatic cord...
We recently developed continuous negative pressure therapy with irrigation (NPI) and successfully applied it to an infected digit a narrow wound. With this technique, however, the dressing circumferentially wraps or hand, that hand receives influence on peripheral circulation are unclear. In report, we evaluated external received during NPI in vitro. Under circumferential dressing, skin perfusion (SPP) of portion was measured. Pressure maintained at 1.3 mm Hg, suction ranged from -50 -200...
It is difficult to reconstruct a nose with adequate shape, color, and texture in patients who have full-thickness nasal defects extensive loss of skeletal support. The scalping forehead flap reliable technique for reconstruction. To our knowledge, however, there been no reports about prefabricated bone graft as In the case reported here, combined an iliac support was used successfully defect associated partial frontal complete bones. Acceptable functional aesthetic results were achieved....
