Published: July 2001

Pancreaticoduodenectomy and total pancreatectomy remain a formidable challenge to many surgeons. This report describes the utilization of Endo GIA linear staplers for division of the proximal jejunal mesentery and division of the uncinate process during pancreatic surgery. Their use may help to reduce undue bleeding during surgery, reduce total operative time, and ultimately reduce postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally, characterized by complications such as heart failure, atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease. The vascular endothelium, forming the inner lining of blood vessels, plays a pivotal role in maintaining vascular homeostasis. The dysfunction of endothelial cells contributes significantly to the progression of CVDs, particularly through impaired cellular communication and paracrine signaling with other cell types, such as smooth muscle cells and macrophages.

The epigenetic regulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a pivotal redox transcription factor, plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Recent research has underscored the significance of epigenetic modifications of Nrf2 in the pathogenesis of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). This study investigates the epigenetic reversal of Nrf2 by pterostilbene (PTS) in human endothelial cells in a hyperglycemic microenvironment (HGM).
