Results of treatment of 17 patients aged from 27 to 82 years with acute inflammation of omental processes (OP) are analyzed. The majority of them were hospitalized on day 1-3 from the beginning of the disease. In 9 cases inflammation was in the right half of the colon, in 7 -- in sigmoid colon (which in 3 patients was located in the right iliac area). In right-sided location of inflammation clinical picture looks like acute appendicitis. In some patients mainly in left-sided location of the inflammation the disease looks like renal colic, perforation of colon or peritonitis. Acute pathology of OP was suspected only in one case. All the patients underwent surgery. In 8 of them necrosis was revealed, in 7 -- phlegmonous inflammation of one OP, in 2 -- inflammatory infiltration without destruction. Surgery comes to removing of affected OP, which was supplemented with appendectomy in 9 cases. There were no complications and lethal outcomes. Problems of diagnosis and surgical treatment of acute inflammation of OP are discussed.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its more severe form steatohepatitis (MASH) contribute to rising morbidity and mortality rates. The storage of fat in humans is closely associated with these diseases' progression. Thus, adipose tissue metabolic homeostasis could be key in both the onset and progression of MASH.

Background: Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) causes cellular dysfunction and death in organs like the kidney, heart, and brain. It involves energy depletion during ischemia and oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis during reperfusion. Kidney IRI often leads to acute kidney injury (AKI) in various clinical scenarios.

In this present study, we introduce an innovative hybrid 3D bioprinting methodology that integrates fused deposition modeling (FDM) with top-down digital light processing (DLP) for the fabrication of an artificial trachea. Initially, polycaprolactone (PCL) was incorporated using an FDM 3D printer to provide essential mechanical support, replicating the structure of tracheal cartilage. Subsequently, a chondrocyte-laden glycidyl methacrylated silk fibroin hydrogel was introduced via top-down DLP into the PCL scaffold (PCL-Sil scaffold).
