This study was undertaken to investigate tumour promoting interactions of 2,4,5,2',4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 153) and 3,4,5,3',4'-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 126) in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Five weeks before the promotion treatment, the rats were partially hepatectomized and initiated with nitrosodiethylamine. The test substances were administered by weekly, subcutaneous injections for 20 weeks. The results from this study suggest that treatment with a combination of these two congeners causes a more than additive effect on the formation of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase-positive hepatic foci. Co-exposure to PCB 126 and PCB 153 caused a dose-dependent reduction of the PCB 153-induced CYP2B1/B2-activity in these livers.

Introduction And Importance: Ascariasis lumbricoides is a common gastrointestinal tract helminthic disease in developing countries and is also a cause of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease in endemic areas of the world. Involvement of the pancreatic duct by worms and associated pancreatitis is less common than the hepatic and biliary involvement.
Case Presentation: A 38-year-old patient was admitted with a diagnosis of alcohol-induced acute pancreatitis and managed conservatively.

Excess oxidative stress and inadequate antioxidant capacities are critical features in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. This study aimed to determine whether supplementation with glutathione (GSH) and/or selenium (Se), as antioxidants, attenuates diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in mice. C57BL/6J male mice were randomly assigned to control, DEN, DEN + GSH, DEN + Se, and DEN + GSH + Se groups for 20 weeks.

Objectives: Interval debulking surgery has similar outcomes and less morbidity compared with primary debulking in advanced ovarian cancer. However, there is controversy regarding the selection of chemotherapy-resistant clones. Complete resection is an essential prerequisite, and near-infrared surgery combined with various techniques for highlighting malignant foci strives to achieve actual complete resection.
