Restoring the perfusion of accidentally transected right gastroepiploic vessels during gastric conduit harvest for esophagectomy using microvascular anastomosis: a case report and literature review.

Background: Esophagectomy remains the standard treatment for esophageal cancer or esophagogastric junction cancer. The stomach, or the gastric conduit, is currently the most commonly used substitute for reconstruction instead of the jejunum or the colon. Preservation of the right gastric and the right gastroepiploic vessels is a vital step to maintain an adequate perfusion of the gastric conduit.

Disrupted hepatic adiponectin signaling impairs liver regeneration of steatotic rats.

Background: Individuals with non-alcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD) exhibit impaired liver regeneration in a clinical setting and animal experiments. Adiponectin signaling is recognized as an important pathway of lipid metabolism, energy expenditure, anti-inflammation, and cellular proliferation. We herein investigate hepatic adiponectin signaling in dietary steatotic murine models undergoing hepatectomy, which has never been explored.
