This study describes a patient who experienced hepatobiliary infection associated with neutralizing anti-interferon gamma (IFN-γ) autoantibodies during treatment for disseminated disease. Hepatobiliary infection should be considered in jaundiced patients with neutralizing anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies, including those receiving antimycobacterial therapy for disseminated disease.

Background: Open surgical debridement was the main treatment option for infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN). However, it was associated with significant trauma, leading to a higher mortality rate. With the development of minimally invasive surgery, the step-up treatment principle centered around minimally invasive intervention, significantly reducing the incidence of complications and mortality rates among IPN patients.

Introduction: Colonic fibrosis is a long-term complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), often leading to functional impairment, intestinal obstruction, and surgery. Adiponectin (APN) is an adipokine derived from adipocytes that plays a pleiotropic role in fibrosis regulation, depending on tissue and cell type specific or disease context, but its role in colonic fibrosis remains unclear.
Objective: To explore the role and involved mechanism of APN in chronic colitis-associated colonic fibrosis.

This study intended to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of colistin sulfate aerosol inhalation in combination with ceftazidime-avibactam for the treatment of pulmonary carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) infection during the peri-operative period of liver transplantation. A retrospective analysis was designed to investigate 52 patients who developed pulmonary CRKP infection after liver transplantation between December 1, 2019, and November 30, 2022. On the basis of whether they received colistin sulfate aerosol inhalation, the patients were divided into the treatment group ( = 29) and the control group ( = 23).

Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process involving hemostasis, inflammation, fibroblast proliferation, and tissue remodeling. This process is highly susceptible to bacterial infection, which often leads to impaired and delayed wound repair. While antibiotic therapy remains the primary clinical approach for treating bacteria-infected wounds, its widespread use poses a significant risk of developing bacterial resistance.
