[Relationship between combined multigene detection and response to chemotherapy and prognosis in epithelial ovarian carcinomas].

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between combined multigene detection and response to chemotherapy and prognosis in epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOCS).

Methods: A total of 80 ovarian tissue samples taken from the surgical specimens of patients with EOCS of our hospital in the last two decades who had received chemotherapy after surgery were paraffin-embedded. The samples were divided into 2 groups, good prognosis group (patients who survived more than 2 years, n = 46) and poor prognosis group (patients who survived less than 2 years, n = 34).

Intestinal perforation after combined liver-kidney transplantation for a case of congenital polycystic disease.

Aim: To highlight the intestinal perforation (IP), an uncommon and catastrophic complication after combined liver-kidney transplantation.

Methods: Combined liver-kidney transplantation (LKTx) with left kidney excision and a cyst fenestration procedure on the right kidney were performed on a case of 46-year-old female with congenital polycystic disease (CPCD).

Results: Two sites of IP were noted 40-50 cm proximal to ileocecal area during emergent laparotomy 10 d postoperatively.
