Combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic repair of adult right-sided Bochdalek hernia with massive liver prolapse: A case report.

Background: A Bochdalek hernia (BH) is a congenital diaphragmatic hernia that often develops in the neonatal period. BH typically occurs on the left side of the diaphragm. A right-sided BH in an adult is rare.

Inhibition of the galactosyltransferase C1GALT1 reduces osteosarcoma cell proliferation by interfering with ERK signaling and cell cycle progression.

Novel therapeutic strategies are urgently required for osteosarcoma, given the early age at onset and persistently high mortality rate. Modern transcriptomics techniques can identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that may serve as biomarkers and therapeutic targets, so we screened for DEGs in osteosarcoma. We found that osteosarcoma cases could be divided into fair and poor survival groups based on gene expression profiles.

Retrospective observational cohort study of laparoscopic surgical strategies for gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Laparoscopic surgery has been used to treat gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) has been used when subtotal resection has been difficult, which enabled resection of these tumors. In this study, we reviewed the medical records of patients with gastric SMTs who underwent laparoscopic surgery in our hospital with the aim of reporting the surgical indications, procedures (especially for LECS), and outcomes of surgery.

Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery for Intrasellar Mixed Germ Cell Tumors.

A mixed germ cell tumor (MGCT) in the neurohypophysis is very rare, with only a few reported cases but none with surgical videos. In this report, the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach for MGCT in the neurohypophysis is presented (Video 1). A 12-year-old girl with ocular pain, fatigue, and nausea presented with gradual onset of quadrant hemianopsia and left oculomotor palsy.
