Article Abstract

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor that develops in the extrahepatic bile duct, that is, from the left and right hepatic ducts to the lower end of the common bile duct. Because of its indeterminate etiology, difficulties in the diagnosis of early lesions, easy invasion and metastasis and resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs, the trend of mortality rate deterioration of patients with CCA has not been fundamentally reversed. And the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of CCA are not well characterized. Circular RNA (CircRNA) is an endogenous non-coding RNA with a circular structure. Recent studies have found circRNA involved in multiple physiological processes and participated in the proliferation, invasion, metastasis, immunomodulation, angiogenesis, biometabolism, and chemoresistance of many malignancies, including CCA, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and gastric cancer. In this review, we summarize what has been published so far to be related to the biogenesis, functions, and characteristics of circRNAs in CCA and the potential clinical prospects.

We describe a case of a 64-year-old obese woman with a history of severe acute cholecystitis and choledocholithias who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our clinic after endoscopic treatment by sphincterotomy and stent insertion. On the first operative day, a significant bile leakage of 400 ml appeared in the drainage. An immediate surgical revision was performed, starting by laparoscopy with conversion to open surgery.

Introduction: Duodenal injuries occur in significant number of patients after abdominal trauma. Though most, 75 %, occur after penetrating mechanism of injury the remaining occur after blunt trauma and these are the commonly missed cases unless high index of suspicion is maintained. Here we presented a case of isolated retroperitoneal duodenal perforation after blunt abdominal trauma with a delayed diagnosis and management.

Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of intraluminal endoscopic treatment of patients with adenomas of the major duodenal papilla and familial adenomatous polyposis.

Material And Methods: Over the past 4 years, 13 patients with adenomas of the major duodenal papilla and familial adenomatous polyposis underwent surgery in our hospital. Of these, 7 patients had exclusively extrapapillary adenomas without signs of spread to the ducts.

Cholesterol homeostasis dysregulation is a primary risk factor for atherosclerosis (AS) development. Fisetin, a flavonoid compound, has shown promise in regulating cholesterol homeostasis by enhancing transintestinal cholesterol excretion (TICE). This study aimed to investigate the regulatory effects and underlying mechanisms of fisetin in AS.
