Surgical treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis with curative intent involves the resection of all macroscopic malignant tissue and the treatment of microscopic residual tissue with local chemotherapy. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is efficient only when associated with hyperthermia. This article details the technical aspect of intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia. These techniques involve specific and important features. At these conditions, peritoneal carcinomatosis can be cured in two-thirds of cases.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes after a transumbilical single-site laparoscopic-assisted Soave operation (TSLSO) for Hirschsprung disease (HD) in children, with a 10-year follow‑up results assessment.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 165 children with HD from January 2013 to January 2023. The operation method was a TSLSO.
Introduction: Approximately 70% of patients with heart failure (HF) also have kidney disease. Mortality is increased both by cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) and by the exacerbation of other comorbidities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of patients with CRS who are followed up by the Cardiorenal Unit (CRU).

Background: The high prevalence and prolonged duration of inflow pain and drain pain experienced by peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients following PD catheter implantation impact their quality of life. However, there is limited data on the frequency and predisposing factors of these pains in the Chinese population undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
Methods: This study encompassed individuals who underwent peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation at our institution from September 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a crucial component in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of peritoneal metastasis (PM), where they contribute to tumor progression and metastasis via secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6). Here, we investigated the role of IL-6 in PM of gastric cancer (GC) and assessed whether anti-IL-6 receptor antibody (anti-IL-6R Ab) could inhibit PM of GC. We conducted immunohistochemical analysis of IL-6 and α-smooth muscle (α-SMA) expressions in clinical samples of GC and PM, and investigated the interactions between CAFs and GC cells in vitro.

Pathogenic intracellular bacteria pose a significant threat to global public health due to the barriers presented by host cells hindering the timely detection of hidden bacteria and the effective delivery of therapeutic agents. To address these challenges, we propose a tandem diagnosis-guided treatment paradigm. A supramolecular sensor array is developed for simple, rapid, accurate, and high-throughput identification of intracellular bacteria.
