Experimental laparoscopic aortobifemoral bypass

The goal of the present study is to develop a technique for laparoscopic aortobifemoral bypass.Piglets weighing between 60 and 78 kg were anesthetized with halothane. The lateral retroperitoneal approach was preferred to the more familiar anterior transperitoneal approach and was successfully completed in 19 piglets. The piglets were placed in the right lateral decubitus position. The first port (2 cm) was inserted halfway between the tip of the 12th rib and the iliac crest. Four other trocars were placed in the retroperitoneum after balloon inflation had allowed creation of a space which permitted visualization of the aorta from the left renal artery down to the aorto-iliac junction. After evacuation of the retropneumoperitoneum, the cavity was maintained using an abdominal lift device and a retractor.Using this approach, we performed four aortobifemoral bypasses (end-to-end aortic anastomosis) after conventional intravenous heparinization (100 IU/kg) in less than 4 h. Blood loss did not exceed 250 ml and the hematocrit remained stable. Postmortem evaluation of the grafts revealed they were positioned as in a conventional bypass, their limbs having followed in the created retroperitoneal tunnels along the path of the native arteries. No mortality occurred before sacrifice of the animals. We believe that this first performed series of totally retroperitoneal laparoscopic aortobifemoral bypasses in the porcine model is useful in preparation for human application due to the anatomical similarities in the periaortic region.     

Thoracoscopic resection of a solitary pulmonary lymphangioma: Report of a case

We present herein the rare case of a young man who was found to have a solitary tumor in the right upper lobe of his lung by a routine chest X-ray. The tumor was removed by thoracoscopic surgery, and pathological examinations confirmed the diagnosis of a primary lymphangioma of the lung. A brief review of the available literature on this extremely rare type of benign tumor follows the case report.

Surgical management of insulinoma: Diagnosis of tumor location and high incidence of malignancy

The findings in twenty-two patients with insulinoma were reviewed, as continuous efforts should be made to establish preoperative localization of the tumor. Superselective arteriography and percutaneous, transhepatic portal vein and pancreatic venous catheterization are highly recommended approaches. At the time of surgical intervention, a cautious exploration of the pancreas after thorough mobilization is most important. Recent use of intraoperative ultrasonography increases the likelihood of finding these occult tumors which locate deeply in the head of the pancreas. Apart from the diagnostic problems, we wish to emphasize the high incidence of malignancy (7/22, 31.8 per cent) in our series. Althout patients with malignant isulinoma had a much better prognosis compared to those with a pancreatic ductal malignancy, pancreatic resection with regional lymphnode dissection seems to be a rational procedure. Enucleation can be done when intraoperative findings of the tumor and regional lymphonode indicate no malignant features and no multiple lesions. However, at the first operation, enucleation is still a procedure of choice, even for the malignant insulinoma in the head with a well-defined capsule and no metastatic lesions, the objective being to avoid a duodenopancreatectomy or total pancreatectomy. These data were reported at the 30th Congress of Société Internationale de Chirurgie, Hamburg, Germany, 1983     

Bilateral malignant phyllodes tumours.

We report a rare example of bilateral primary malignant phyllodes tumours. The diagnosis was supported by the identification of a benign epithelial element in each lesion. The case illustrates the typical dimorphic features of malignant phyllodes tumours. A contralateral tumour should not be regarded as metastatic without histological confirmation.     

Hypothalamic hamartoma with bilateral anophthalmia

Introduction Hypothalamic hamartomas are congenital malformations. Clinically, they can be asymptomatic, but they cause seizures, mental retardation and precocious puberty in many cases. Case report A 20-day-old boy with hypothalamic hamartoma and bilateral anophthalmia was presented. Except those, no other congenital anomaly was detected. Conclusion This is a rare case of hypothalamic hamartoma with bilateral anophthalmia. The mutations at SOX2 has an important role in the developing brain and eyes.     

MicroRNAs及其在泌尿系肿瘤的研究进展

microRNAs（miRNAs）是一类分布十分广泛的内源性非编码RNA,在动物、植物、病毒中广泛存在。miRNAs与肿瘤的发生发展预后有关,并在肿瘤的增殖、分化及调亡等方面有重要的作用。结合最近相关文献,本文就miRNAs与泌尿系肿瘤方面的进展作简要概述。
