Background: The wound healing effects of a specialized amino acid supplement containing calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, L-arginine, and L-glutamine (HMB/Arg/Gln) have been reported. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of HMB/Arg/Gln in the perioperative management of patients with thoracic esophageal cancer.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 131 patients who underwent esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer between January 2016 and November 2023.

Background: Intraabdominal adhesions increase the incidence and length of surgical complications. Many anti-adhesive agents have been used for this purpose, but no definitive solution has yet been found. Studies on the prevention and reduction of anastomotic leakage, therefore, remain up to date.

The effective prevention and treatment of anastomotic leakage after intestinal anastomosis for colorectal diseases is still a major clinical challenge. In order to assist intestinal anastomosis healing and avoid anastomotic leakage caused by high tension, low blood supply or infection, we designed a double-layer nanofiber intestinal anastomosis scaffold, which was composed of electrospun PTMC/PHA nanofibers as the main layer, and electrospun PVA/OHA-Gs nanofibers with antibacterial properties as the antibacterial surface layer. This double-layer scaffold has good toughness, its maximum tensile force value could reach 8 N, elongation could reach 400 %, and it has hydrophilic properties, and its contact angle was about 60°.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tobramycin dexamethasone eye ointment combined with a catheter in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.
Methods: Eighty chronic dacryocystitis patients were randomly divided into two groups: observation ( = 39) and control ( = 41). Both groups underwent endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.

The management of gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks post surgery is a considerable challenge, characterized by elevated morbidity and mortality, particularly in cases of esophageal-jejunal anastomotic leaks. Diverse endoscopic intervention techniques have been utilized with enhanced success. We present a case where a 57-year-old patient with Siewert type II esophageal cardia cancer underwent endoscopic deployment of a fully covered stent into a fistula resulting from anastomotic leakage, following a laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y and double tract reconstruction.
