Gallbladder preserving cholelithotomy in children with hereditary spherocytosis complicated by gallstones: a single-center retrospective study.

Background: Gallstones are among the most common complications of hereditary spherocytosis (HS). In previous treatments, gallbladder-preserving cholelithotomy (GPC) has remained a subject of significant debate due primarily to potential risks of stone recurrence. However, past studies have often overlooked the impact of specific disease conditions on GPC.

Ewing sarcoma of the pancreas: a pediatric case report and narrative literature review.

Ewing's Sarcoma (ES) is an rare, small round-cell sarcoma that predominantly occurs in children and young adults, with both skeletal and extraskeletal manifestations. However, pancreatic ES, due to its rarity, is infrequently featured in scholarly literature, with only a scant 43 reported instances. Our study describes a case of pancreatic ES in an 8-year-old boy who was found to have an abdominal mass.

Bovine lactoferricin P13 triggers ROS-mediated caspase-dependent apoptosis in SMMC7721 cells.

Bovine lactoferricin P13 (LfcinB-P13) is a peptide derived from LfcinB. In the present study, the effect of LfcinB-P13 on the human liver cancer cell line SMMC7721 was investigated and . The results of the present study indicate that LfcinB-P13 significantly decreased SMMC7721 cell viability (P=0.

Diagnosis and minimally invasive surgical treatment of bleeding Meckel's diverticulum in children using double-balloon enteroscopy.

Background/purpose: To demonstrate the diagnosis of bleeding Meckel's diverticulum (MD) using double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) and to highlight the utility of this technique for guidance in minimally invasive surgery.

Materials And Methods: From August 2011 to September 2014, 21 pediatric patients with bloody diarrhea underwent transanal DBE examinations. When a lesion such as MD or a tumor was detected, the enteroscopic light source was brought as close to the umbilicus as possible.
