Introduction: Incisional hernia following laparotomy remains an important problem. Laparoscopic repair has become the method of choice in recent years. The present article presents the outcome of laparoscopic incisional hernia mesh repair at Viborg Hospital in the years 2003-2006.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively identified 114 patients who had undergone laparoscopic hernia repair during the relevant period. The patients received a questionnaire regarding satisfaction, pain and recurrence. Patients reporting any inconvenience were offered a consultation.
Results: Among the 114 included patients, ten procedures were converted to open laparotomy, six of which were converted due to recognized bowel injury. One case of bowel injury was managed laparoscopically. One case of bowel injury was recognized during reoperation the following day. Another four patients experienced reoperations for other reasons, mainly bleeding. The mean hospital stay was one day. A total of 12 patients had a recurrent hernia. The mean follow-up was 14 months.
Conclusion: We conclude that laparoscopic incisional hernia repair is a useful surgical procedure with short hospital stay and high patient satisfaction. There is, however, a certain risk of bowel injury associated with this procedure.

Unlabelled: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic gastrointestinal disorder, often emerges during childhood and poses significant challenges due to its adverse effects on growth, development, and psychosocial well-being. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases. However, the specific biological role and mechanisms of circRNA OMA1 in children with IBD remain largely unexplored.

Unlabelled: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, progressive, immune-mediated, gastrointestinal inflammatory disease with increasing occurrences in children. Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1), a migration-promoting protein, acts as a tumor-promoting factor in malignant tumors. However, functions and mechanisms of CTHRC1 in children with IBD remain unclear.

Most related literature comes from case reports; however, a few small reviews have been published. We conducted a large systematic review of AEN using PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase to organize data into one consolidated manuscript, find potential prognosticators of illness, and determine possible treatment guidelines for AEN.

Background: The intestinal mucosa of ulcerative colitis patients expresses high levels of interleukin 34, and mice lacking IL-34 have more severe DSS-induced experimental colitis. There are no studies on the effects of directly upregulating intestinal IL-34 on experimental colitis in mice.
Methods: The bacteria EcN/CSF-1 and EcN/IL-34, which express CSF-1 and IL-34, respectively, were genetically engineered from Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN).

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to infection, and its occurrence is associated with a poor prognosis in the context of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Although there are several animal models for the study of its etiology, the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model has been considered the "Gold standard" because it shows a high degree of similarity to the progression of human sepsis. Currently, it is one of the most frequently chosen options to search for therapeutic alternatives to diminish the progression and organ damage induced by sepsis.
