AI Article Synopsis
- The percutaneous tandem drainage procedure aims to manage intractable hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) leaks by breaking down large fluid collections into smaller, drainable cavities.
- Percutaneous abscess drainage (PAD) helps remove fluid, while percutaneous trans-anastomotic jejunum drainage (PTAJD) reduces bile and digestive juices, enhancing drainage effectiveness.
- Since 2020, this technique has been successfully used on two patients, resolving leaks within three months without any complications.
Article Abstract
The principal concept of the percutaneous tandem drainage procedure for an intractable hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) leakage is to decrease the amount of fluid and divide the fluid-filled cavity into several small cavities, which can then be drained individually. Percutaneous abscess drainage (PAD) has a role in drainage of the fluid cavity, whereas percutaneous trans-anastomotic jejunum drainage (PTAJD) has a role in drainage to reduce the bile fluid and digestive juices. A decrease in fluid induces effective drainage of the fluid cavity by PAD. A negative pressure suction drain accelerates reduction of the fluid cavity. PAD is removed when the localized fluid cavity has collapsed. PTAJD is finally removed after a clamping test is performed. Since 2020, we performed the percutaneous tandem drainage for two patients, and an intractable HJ leakage was gently resolved within 3 months without any adverse event. The percutaneous tandem drainage technique is safe for steady drain management of an intractable HJ leakage.

Background: Autophagy‒endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress axis dysregulation is linked to myocardial ischemia‒reperfusion injury (MIRI), which counteracts the benefits of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reperfusion therapy. Qingre Huoxue decoction (QRHX) improves the short- and long-term prognosis of AMI after percutaneous coronary intervention and alleviates myocardial injury in AMI rats by stimulating autophagy via the PI3K/Akt pathway. We aimed to further explore the efficacy of QRHX in treating MIRI and its regulatory relationship with FAM134B-mediated ER-phagy.

Background: Discal cysts, an uncommon condition, can replicate the characteristic signs typically linked to a herniated lumbar disc, encompassing discomfort in the lumbar region and neuralgia that extends along the nerve paths, thereby complicating the process of distinguishing the discal cyst from other conditions. Consensus on the treatment of this disease remains elusive, and the best treatment for it is still a matter of controversy. In numerous past reports, this disease has been treated through either open or microscopic surgical approaches.

Introduction: Aspirin and indobufen are commonly used therapeutic drugs for the prevention of vascular restenosis (VR) after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty surgery. They both exhibited antiplatelet effects but molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic changes induced by them remain unclear.
Methods: In this study, we collected plasma samples from patients on aspirin medication ( = 5), patients on indobufen medication, patients with no medication after PTA, and healthy controls (CKs) ( = 5).

In tandem with the ever-increasing global population, the demand for diagnostic radiology service provision is on the rise and at a disproportionate rate compared to the number of radiologists available to practice. The current "revolution in robotics" promises to alleviate personnel shortages in many sectors of industry, including medicine. Despite negative depictions of robots in popular culture, their multiple potential benefits cannot be overlooked, in particular when it comes to health service provision.
