Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to compare four hernia repair techniques: Mesh-plug, Lichtenstein, TAPP, and TEP in terms of operation time, seroma, infection, and recurrence rates.
- The analysis reviewed 38 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 3,255 patients, using established methods by the Cochrane Collaboration.
- The findings indicated that there were no significant differences among the four techniques concerning operation time, seroma, infection, and recurrence of inguinal hernias.
Article Synopsis
- MicroRNAs are important in cancer regulation, acting as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors, leading to the development of a method to identify their targets in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- The study used an integrated approach combining correlation, causal inference, and regression methods to predict miRNA targets, verifying results against confirmed databases and analyzing gene pathways.
- They identified 50 strong miRNA-mRNA interactions, finding potential biomarkers and relevant pathways for HCC; however, further validation of these findings is necessary.
Propofol is widely used for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia, which causes a rapid loss of consciousness. So far the mechanisms underlying the effect of propofol are still largely unknown. Here, we found that microinjection of propofol in the lateral hypothalamus caused a significant decrease in wakefulness and an increase in the amount of non-rapid eye movement sleep and rapid eye movement sleep.

Pancreatic serous cystic neoplasm (SCN) is a benign tumor of the pancreas, about two-thirds situated in the tail of the pancreas. The small sized ones usually require only routine follow-ups, and is advised for surgical treatment when clinical symptoms, and mass growth are occurring rapidly, and the traditional treatment is splenectomy. Here, we have finished a laparoscopy resection of the spleen-preserving pancreatic body.
