In all diseases where there is an important loss of lymph, e.g. chylothorax, chyloperitoneum, exsudative enteropathy chyloduodenal fistula, we observed not only a fall in the serum proteins and calcium, but also a fall in lipids and cholesterol. We first carried out ligature of the lymphatic ducts in numerous dogs. Since 1966, we have carried out this ligature in 550 arteriosclerotic patients, aged less than 52 years. The metabolic changes observed over a period of 9 years were very marked. Clinically, in 100 patients who underwent classical reconstructive arterial surgery, the association of ligature of the lymphatic ducts reduced by half, after a period of 6 years, the complications normally observed.

Prognostic factors and survival outcomes in patients with salivary duct carcinoma: a retrospective cohort study.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Department of Stomatology, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a highly aggressive salivary gland malignancy with poor prognosis. The aim was to investigate the prognostic factors and survival outcomes in a cohort of SDC patients.
Materials And Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 61 SDC patients treated at the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital between January 2010 and December 2020.
[The biliary ecosystem: a holistic perspective on critical scientific issues regarding biliary tract surgeries and diseases].

The establishment of modern biliary surgery system, alongside pivotal scientific paradigm shifts, has heralded a new era featured by precision, personalization, life-cycle care, and multidisciplinary management in the treatment of both benign and malignant biliary diseases. However, two formidable challenges persist in haunting the treatment of biliary diseases: (1) The refinement of surgical techniques has reached a plateau in reducing the disability associated with benign biliary conditions and in improving survival outcomes in biliary tract cancers; (2) Traditional evidence-based clinical studies have shown limited power in addressing complex dilemmas, such as determining whether to excise or preserve pathological gallbladders or selecting the optimal biliary drainage strategy. Consequently, the authors propose the conceptual framework of "biliary ecosystem".

Medicine (Baltimore)
October 2024
Department of General Surgery, Taicang Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, P.R. China.
Rationale: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is widely performed as a standard treatment for cholelithiasis, and chyle leakage after LC has rarely been reported. Duplicated cystic ducts draining a single gallbladder is an extraordinarily rare variation.
Patient Concerns: We presented a case of chyle leakage after LC in a 53-year-old female with a rare variation of duplicated cystic ducts.
Lymphatic magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities in children with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.
Cardiol Young
October 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Article Synopsis
- Tetralogy of Fallot patients often develop complications like chylothorax and pleural effusions after surgery due to factors affecting their lymphatic system.
- This study evaluated the structure and function of the lymphatic system in young post-repair patients using advanced imaging techniques.
- Although no clinical lymphatic disease was observed, some patients showed significant lymphatic abnormalities, prompting the need for further research to understand the cause and implications of these findings.
A case report: mucinous carcinoma of extrahepatic bile ducts with periportal calcification suggestive of lymphatic calcification.
Abdom Radiol (NY)
October 2024
Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- * The patient's imaging tests revealed extensive periportal calcifications and hyperintense masses in the bile duct and lymph nodes, suggesting tumor presence and possible metastasis.
- * An endoscopic biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma, which was associated with lymphatic vessel involvement and multiple lymph node metastases, with calcification thought to relate to the tumor's mucin production.
