Background: The combination of magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) and endoscopy has been used to treat biliary stricture after liver transplantation. However, its use for the treatment of complex biliary obstruction after major abdominal trauma has not been reported. This case report describes the successful use of MCA for the treatment of biliary obstruction resulting from major abdominal trauma.
Case Summary: A 23-year-old man underwent major abdominal surgery (repair of liver rupture, right half colon resection, and ileostomy) following a car accident one year ago. The abdominal drainage tube, positioned at the Winslow foramen, was draining approximately 600-800 mL of bile per day. During the two endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedures, the guide wire was unable to enter the common bile duct, which prevented placement of a biliary stent. MCA combined with endoscopy was used to successfully achieve magnetic anastomosis of the peritoneal sinus tract and duodenum, and then a choledochoduodenal stent was placed. Finally, the external biliary drainage tube was removed. The patient achieved internal biliary drainage leading to the removal of the external biliary drainage tube, which improved the quality of life.
Conclusion: Magnetic compression technique can be used for the treatment of complex biliary obstruction with minimal operative trauma.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) research is hindered by limited comprehensive analyses of plasma proteome across disease subtypes. Here, we systematically investigated the associations between plasma proteins and cardiovascular outcomes in 53,026 UK Biobank participants over a 14-year follow-up. Association analyses identified 3,089 significant associations involving 892 unique protein analytes across 13 CVD outcomes.

The objective of this investigation was to assess the biological properties of the leaf's aqueous extract of (PaAE), which is used in conventional medicine for therapeutic purposes of gastric ulcers and abdominal diseases. The content of phenolic and flavonoidic compounds was quantitatively estimated using colorimetric methods. The phenolic component profile was also evaluated using LC-MS/MS.

Background: Intestinal barrier dysfunction (IBDF) can lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multiple organ failure, severely jeopardizing patient health. Preventing the occurrence of IBDF is crucial, but effective prediction and assessment tools are currently lacking. In this study, we aimed to construct and validate a nomogram for early prediction of the risk of IBDF in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.

Background And Objective: Aspiration of gastric contents is the major cause of respiratory tract-related complications, which can lead to death. Despite its significance, nationwide research on the practice of managing gastric regurgitation and pulmonary aspiration remains inadequate. We aimed to conduct a national survey to gain an in-depth understanding of the management and clinical practices surrounding perioperative gastric regurgitation and pulmonary aspiration among anesthesiologists in China.

Agarwood trees (Aquilaria spp.) are widely cultivated in tropical Asia for their valuable resin. The defoliator moth Heortia vitessoides Moore (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a devastating pest that significantly limits the productivity of agarwood plantations.
