Article Synopsis
  • Undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells (UCOGC) is a rare type of pancreatic cancer that shares some genetic similarities with the more common pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), despite its unique features.
  • Research is focusing on the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in pancreatic cancer to improve diagnostics and treatments, examining specific miRNAs like miR-21, -155, and -210, which are found at higher levels in both UCOGCs and poorly differentiated PDAC.
  • The study found that while some miRNAs were upregulated in UCOGCs, the expression of miR-155 was significantly lower compared to G3 PDACs, indicating potential differences in biological

Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyse complications associated with inicisional hernia repair surgery and to assess individual risk factors for surgical site infections occurring at the Department of Surgery of the University Hospital Kralovske Vinohrady in 2015.

Methods: We analysed 138 patients with a focus on risk factors that potentially increase the risk of postoperative infectious complications such as mesh implantation, smoking, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, malignancies, immunosuppressive therapy and urgency of the procedure.

Results: Based on multivariate logistic regression analysis, acute surgery proved to be a risk factor for infection, and in the ad hoc Fisher test, the ratio was 2.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of surgical treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCHCA) in terms of overall survival and disease-free survival, and to analyse and find potential prognostic factors affecting overall survival and disease-free survival.

Methods: Retrospective evaluation was performed of consecutively enrolled patients operated for IHCHCA from January 2005 to January 2022 (17 years) had undergone surgery. During the monitored period, 38 surgical procedures were performed, of which liver resection was done in 25 cases (65.

Introduction: Analysis and comparison of short-term results of laparoscopic liver resections (LLR) and open liver resections (OLR) for colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM).

Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients operated for CRCLM in the time period from May 2007 to May 2019 (12 years) at the department of surgery, University Hospital Hradec Králové and University Hospital Královské Vinohrady.

Results: 206 liver resections were performed; 167 (81.

The selection of a suitable combination of reference genes (RGs) for data normalization is a crucial step for obtaining reliable and reproducible results from transcriptional response analysis using a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. This is especially so if a three-dimensional multicellular model prepared from liver tissues originating from biologically diverse human individuals is used. The mRNA and miRNA RGs stability were studied in thirty-five human liver tissue samples and twelve precision-cut human liver slices (PCLS) treated for 24 h with dimethyl sulfoxide (controls) and PCLS treated with β-naphthoflavone (10 µM) or rifampicin (10 µM) as cytochrome P450 (CYP) inducers.
