Laparoscopic Radical Antegrade Modular Pancreatosplenectomy with Portal Vein Reconstruction and Celiac Axis Resection for Pancreatic Neck-Body Cancer.

Background: Laparoscopic radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy combined with celiac axis resection and portal vein reconstruction is a new procedure for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. This surgical technique may offer patients with pancreatic cancer involving the portal vein and celiac axis an opportunity for radical surgical resection. We aim to evaluate the short- and long-term efficacy and describe the surgical details of this technique.

A Novel Anastomosis Technique for Laparoscopic Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Case Series of Our Center's Experience.

Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy has developed rapidly in recent years. Postoperative pancreatic fistula is still the most dangerous complication of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Baumgart pancreaticojejunostomy is considered one of the safest anastomosis procedures, with low rates of pancreatic fistula.

MicroRNA-1246 Promotes Melanoma Progression Through Targeting FOXA2.

Introduction: Recently, the incidence of melanoma has been rising and there is a lack of effective targeted therapies. The regulatory mechanisms of microRNA-1246 (miR-1246) have been found in many cancers, except melanoma. This study focused on the regulatory mechanism of miR-1246 in melanoma development.

Segmental zoster abdominal paresis mimicking an abdominal hernia: A case report and literature review.

Rationale: Herpes zoster infection typically involves the posterior root ganglia and most of the symptoms are sensory. Motor involvement can occur in the same distribution but is relatively uncommon. Segmental zoster paresis is a rare motor complication of Herpes zoster, mimicking an abdominal hernia, but it needs no surgery different from the real abdominal wall hernia.

Large Aggressive Angiomyxoma of the Liver: A Case Report and Brief Review of the Literature.

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is an uncommon mesenchymal myxoid tumor that almost solely involves the soft tissues of the perineum and pelvis. An AAM originating from the liver is extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of a 45-year-old female with a large mass in the left lateral lobe of the liver.

Isolated pancreatic tuberculosis with elevated CA 19-9 levels masquerading as a malignancy: A rare case report and literature review.

Rationale: Primary pancreatic tuberculosis is extremely rare, it presents with non-specific clinical symptoms and imaging features; it may be falsely identified as a malignancy of the pancreas.

Patient Concerns: A 41-year-old male with no history of tuberculosis presented to our hospital with a 2-week history of jaundice.

Diagnoses: Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a heterogeneous irregular hypodense mass in the head of the pancreas causing dilatation of the common bile duct (CBD), and it was enhanced after infusion of contrast material.

miR-148a suppresses cell invasion and migration in gastric cancer by targeting DNA methyltransferase 1.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common malignant tumor globally. The highest incidence of GC is found in Eastern Asia, particularly in China. It is therefore imperative to further elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of GC in order to identify new biomarkers and targets for effective therapy.
