Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether irrigation of the abdominal cavity after laparotomy for caecum resection with taurolidine/heparin or adhesion prophylactic substances reduces intraperitoneal tumour growth or the local recurrence rate in a colon carcinoma rat model.
Methods: 60 BDIX rats underwent caecum resection after intraperitoneal inoculation of 1 x 10(4) colon carcinoma cells (DHD/K12/TRb). Intergel, Interceed, taurolidine/heparin or NaCl 0.9% were intraperitoneally applied after randomisation. Finally, the total number and total weight of intraperitoneal metastases were determined as well as the adhesion score according to Moreno. Metastatic tissue was examined histologically and immunohistochemically (E-cadherin, CD44, beta(1)-integrin).
Results: Taurolidine/heparin significantly reduced not only the total number (3 vs. 11 in the control group) but also the total weight (65 vs. 330 mg) of intraperitoneal metastases in comparison to the control group (p = 0.003 and p = 0.005). E-Cadherin expression in the metastatic tissue of animals treated with taurolidine/heparin was significantly decreased (p = 0.016).
Conclusion: Taurolidine/heparin effectively reduces intraperitoneal tumour growth when used as an intraoperative lavage. These results represent a good rationale for intraoperative adjuvant irrigation with taurolidine/heparin during resection of colon cancer.

Prevention of Incisional Hernias With Prophylactic Synthetic Mesh Placement During Stoma Reversal: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Surg

Department of Surgery, Meander Medical Center, Amersfoort, the Netherlands.
Importance: Stoma reversal is associated with few complications. However, recent studies show that 1 in 3 patients develop an incisional hernia, for which half of the patients receive surgical correction.
Objective: To investigate whether prophylactic synthetic mesh placement in the retromuscular space during stoma reversal reduces the rate of stomal site incisional hernias.
Therapeutic Effect of Physical Activity in a Male Wistar Rat Model of Paraquat and Maneb-Induced Parkinson's Disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by impairments in motor control following the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons located in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Environmental pesticides such as Paraquat (PQ) and Maneb (MB) contribute to the onset of PD by inducing oxidative stress (OS). This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of moderate physical activity (PA) on both motor and non-motor symptoms in a Wistar rat model of Paraquat and Maneb (PQ/MB) induced PD.

Adolescence is a period of heightened neuroplasticity and vulnerability to environmental insults, including drug exposure. In this study, we investigated the short- and long-term behavioral effects, as well as the long-term hippocampal effects, of chronic cocaine administration during adolescence, along with the potential neuroprotective role of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) in male C57BL/6J mice. Over 21 days, mice received daily intraperitoneal injections of saline, cocaine, IGF2, or a combination of cocaine and IGF2.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.MethodsA total of 200 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were enrolled in this retrospective study and randomly allocated to two groups (research registry number: 11353). On the first day after abdominal closure, routine treatment was performed in the non-HIPEC group, whereas HIPEC was performed in the HIPEC group.

Cholestasis is a pathological state characterized by the dysfunction of bile acid flow, which could lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even liver failure, but its therapeutic agents are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanism of melatonin on cholestatic liver injury. C57BL/6 J mice were fed with 0.
