Article Synopsis
- Sepsis from peritonitis triggers an inflammatory response, and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) might help modulate the immune system as a new treatment option.
- In a mouse study, researchers compared the effects of human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) and modified hASCs (enhanced for better inflammation targeting) to see their impact on inflammation during peritonitis.
- Ultimately, the study found that both standard and genetically modified hASCs were safe and effective treatments, showing no significant differences in anti-inflammatory effects between the two groups when administered directly into the peritoneum.
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare malignant growth characterized by the production of mucin and the potential for peritoneal relapse. This study aimed to investigate the immunohistochemical and biological characteristics of mucin in patients with cellular and acellular PMP. We prospectively analyzed mucin specimens obtained from our patient cohort and described the composition and type of mucin present in each sample.

We propose the use of intraperitoneal collagenase to perform chemical adhesiolysis based on the pathophysiology and histology of adhesions. (2) Methods: We generated an adhesion model with intraperitoneal polypropylene meshes.
