Left inferior phrenic arterial malformation mimicking gastric varices: A case report and review of literature.

Article Synopsis
- Gastric submucosal arterial dilation from splenic artery occlusion can lead to rare but severe acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), with limitations in detection by endoscopy.
- A case involving a 57-year-old male revealed massive UGIB linked to a tortuous left inferior phrenic artery, previously noted "gastric varices," and subsequent endoscopic failure that required transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for treatment.
- This case is the first to identify UGIB from a tortuous left inferior phrenic artery and underscores the need for alternative methods like TAE to manage arterial bleeding when endoscopy is inadequate.
Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most serious complications of diabetes. Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) is a second-generation autologous platelet-rich plasma. This study aims to investigate the clinical effects of L-PRF in patients with diabetes in real clinical practice.

Trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the mainstay bridging therapy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) waiting for liver transplantation (LT). However, tumor response rate is variable.

Objective: To explore the efficiency of single application of lobaplatin in tran-scatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for patients with a primary hepatic carcinoma who were unable or unwilling to undergo surgery.
Methods: 173 patients with primary hepatic carcinoma diagnosed by imaging or pathology were randomly divided into experimental and control groups and respectively treated with lobaplatin and pirarubicin hydrochloride as chemotherapeutic drugs for TACE. The amount of iodipin was regulated according to the tumor number and size, and then gelatin sponge or polyvinyl alcohol particles were applied for embolisms.
