Objective: To assess adhesion formation and fertility outcome after transient abdominal ovariopexy performed in patients with severe endometriosis.
Study Design: Retrospective study including 218 patients who underwent surgery for severe endometriosis from 1997 to 2009. One hundred and thirty-nine (64%) patients were infertile. The initial ASRM stage was IV in 139 cases, III in 43 cases and II in 36 cases. Adnexal adhesions were scored by using the Operative Laparoscopy Study Group (OLSG) and modified AFS scoring systems. Unilateral or bilateral transient abdominal ovariopexy of 336 ovaries was performed to prevent adhesion formation or reformation for extensive surgery. In patients who underwent a second operation, adnexal adhesion scores were reported. Fertility outcome was evaluated by a questionnaire.
Results: Second-look surgery was performed after 11.7 ± 2.4 months in 24 patients (11%) who had undergone 38 ovariopexies. Transient abdominal ovariopexy significantly decreased adnexal adhesion scores (p<0.05). Regarding fertility outcome, the median follow up was 19.6 ± 1.5 months. Fifty-eight patients, out of 105 infertile women who actively tried to conceive after surgery, conceived, 21 (36%) spontaneously and 37 (64%) after ART. The median time interval for conception was 8.6 ± 1 months.
Conclusion: In patients with severe endometriosis, transient abdominal ovariopexy is an effective technique in preventing postoperative adhesion formation and in improving fertility outcome.
Condensation: In 218 patients with severe endometriosis, transient abdominal ovariopexy was an effective technique in preventing adhesion formation and improving fertility outcome.

Background And Objectives: The liver, a vital metabolic organ, is always susceptible to various diseases that ultimately lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, acute liver failure, chronic liver failure, and even cancer. Optimal and specific medicine delivery in various diseases, hepatectomy, shunt placement, and other surgical interventions to reduce liver damage, transplantation, optimal preservation, and revival of the donated organ all rely on a complete understanding of perfusion and mass transfer in the liver. This study aims to simulate the computational fluid dynamics of perfusion and the temporal-spatial distribution of a medicine in a healthy liver to evaluate the hemodynamic characteristics of flow and medicine transport with the purpose of more effective liver treatment.

Cytokine storm is a hallmark for acute systemic inflammatory disease like sepsis. Intrinsic microbiome-derived short-chain fatty acid (SCFAs) like acetate modulates immune cell function and metabolism has been well studied. However, it remains poorly investigated about the effects and the underlying mechanism of exogenous acetate in acute inflammation like sepsis.

Rationale: Duplication of gallbladder is a rare anomaly in humans, as it is very rare for a duplication of gallbladder to be missed during the first cholecystectomy and thus require a second cholecystectomy.
Patient Concerns: A 42-year-old man came to our hospital with paroxysmal right upper abdominal pain for 10 days. In addition to the pain, he also had transient jaundice.
