    查看更多>>摘要:Peritoneal surface malignancies are generally associated with poor prognosis.In daily clinical routine,systemic chemotherapy is still considered the only reasonable therapy despite of encouraging results of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) along with intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (HIPEC).The Achilles heel of CRS and HIPEC is appropriate patient selection and precise surgical technique preventing patients from excessive morbidity and mortality.Given these findings,new concepts of second look surgery for high risk patients allow detection of peritoneal spread ahead of clinical symptoms or presence of peritoneal masses reducing perioperative morbidity.In addition,personalized intraperitoneal chemotherapy might further improve outcome by appreciating individual tumor biology.These days,every physician should be aware of CRS and HIPEC for treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies.Since there is now sufficient data for the superiority of CRS and HIPEC to systemic chemotherapy in selected patients,our next goal should be providing this strategy with minimal morbidity and mortality even in the presence of higher tumor load.

    查看更多>>摘要:Pancreatic surgery represents one of the most challenging areas in digestive surgery.In recent years,an increasing number of laparoscopic pancreatic procedures have been performed and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) has gained world-wide acceptance because it does not require anastomosis or other reconstruction.To date,English literature reports more than 300 papers focusing on LDP,but only 6% included more than 30 patients.Literature review confirms that LDP is a feasible and safe procedure in patients with benign or low grade malignancies.Decreased blood loss and morbidity,early recovery and shorter hospital stay may be the main advantages.Several concerns still exist for laparoscopic pancreatic adenocarcinoma excision.The individual surgeon determines the technical conduction of LDP,with or without spleen preservation;currently robotic pancreatic surgery has gained diffusion.Additional researches are necessary to determine the best technique to improve the procedure results.

    查看更多>>摘要:Abnormal bone metabolism and dysfunction of the calcium-parathyroid hormone-vitamin D axis have been reported in patients with viral hepatitis.Some studies suggested a relationship between vitamin D and viral hepatitis.Genetic studies have provided an opportunity to identify the proteins that link vitamin D to the pathology of viral hepatitis (i.e.,the major histocompatibility complex class Ⅱ molecules,the vitamin D receptor,cytochrome P450,the renin-angiotensin system,apolipoprotein E,liver X receptor,toll-like receptor,and the proteins regulated by the Sp1 promoter gene).Vitamin D also exerts its effects on viral hepatitis via non-genomic factors,i.e.,matrix metalloproteinase,endothelial vascular growth factor,prostaglandins,cyclooxygenase-2,and oxidative stress.In conclusion,vitamin D could have a beneficial role in viral hepatitis.Calcitriol is best used for viral hepatitis because it is the active form of the vitamin D3 metabolite.
