[Clinical Features and Surgical Outcomes of 15 Cases of Intracranial Alveolar Echinococcosis].

Objective: To investigate the surgical treatment strategy of intracranial alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and the clinical outcomes.

Methods: The clinical and follow-up data of 15 intracranial AE patients who underwent surgical treatment in the Departments of Neurosurgery of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital (SPPH) and People's Hospital of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture (a branch hospital of SPPH) between March 2017 and January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Full follow-up data were available for each of the 15 cases.

Biogenic Synthesis, Characterization and Evaluation of Silver Nanoparticles from JX556221 Against Human Colon Cancer Cell Line HT-29.

Nanobiotechnology has emerged as a promising technology to develop new therapeutically active nanomaterials. The present study was aimed to biosynthesize AgNPs extracellularly using Aspergillus niger JX556221 fungal extract and to evaluate their anticancer potential against colon cancer cell line, HT-29. UV-visible spectral characterization of the synthesized AgNPs showed higher absorption peak at 440 nm wavelength.

Totally laparoscopic Billroth II gastrectomy with a novel, safe, simple, and time-saving anastomosis by only stapling devices.

Background: Totally laparoscopic gastrectomy represents the evolution of laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy. Most surgeons prefer laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy rather than totally laparoscopic procedures because of technical difficulties of intracorporeal anastomosis. We created one novel stapling anastomosis without hand-sewn technique in totally laparoscopic Billroth II gastrectomy.
