Article Synopsis
- A 66-year-old man with cecal cancer and liver metastasis underwent surgery, followed by chemotherapy, but developed peritoneal dissemination and severe ascites, impacting his nutrition.
- After nearly two years, he received cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy (CART) as palliative care, effectively managing the ascites without complications.
- The CART treatment improved his quality of life and dietary intake, ultimately allowing for the resumption of chemotherapy.
Regeneration competent vertebrates such as newts and salamanders possess a weakened adaptive immune system characterized by multiple connections between the lymphatic system and the blood vascular system called lymphatic hearts. The role of lymphatic vasculature and these lymphaticovenous connections in regeneration is unknown. We used in-vivo near-infrared lymphangiography, ultra-high frequency ultrasonography, micro-CT lymphangiography, and histological serial section 3-dimentional computer reconstruction to evaluate the lymphatic territories of Cynops pyrrhogaster.
