Background: Infusion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) via portal vein is one of the main ways for MSCs transplantation to treat liver cirrhosis (LC). As the tissue of LC showed diffuse fibrosis and thickened Glission sheath, the soft pig-tail catheter, or central venous catheter can not successfully insert the portal vein. Thus, our study used an improved method and performed a relatively comprehensive system to evaluate the effect for human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) transplantation.

Background: The drug volume to be used in caudal in pediatric patients has remained an unmet issue since long. We determined the minimum drug volume required to reach T10 level in pediatric patients using ultrasonography and compared it with the already established volume by Armitage formula.
Aim: To determine the minimum effective caudal local anesthetic dose using ultrasound guidance.

Background: Liver fibrosis can progress to end-stage cirrhosis and liver cancer. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were considered the most promising therapeutic strategy, but most of the MSCs injected intravenously traditionally are trapped in the lungs, rapidly reducing their survival ability. MSC spheroids cultured in 3D have shown higher tolerance to fluid shear stress and better survival than dissociated MSCs.

Introduction: Rectus sheath blocks have been used for decades in the operating room for analgesia following umbilical surgical procedures. We present the first reported case series of a rectus sheath block used in the emergency department (ED) for the reduction of an umbilical hernia.
Case Series: Four patients presented to the ED for painful, non-reducible umbilical hernias.
