The Therapeutic Potential of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound in Enhancing Gallbladder Function and Reducing Inflammation in Cholesterol Gallstone Disease.
Bioengineering (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Ultrasound, Shanghai East Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai 200120, China.
Background: Cholesterol gallstone disease (CGS) is often accompanied by gallbladder contraction dysfunction and chronic inflammation, but effective therapeutic options remain limited. This study investigates whether a low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment can improve gallbladder motility and alleviate chronic inflammation while exploring the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Gallbladder motility was assessed through in vitro and in vivo contraction tests, while bile condition was evaluated by observing bile crystal clearance.

This study retrospectively evaluated the computed tomography (CT) findings of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) at a single center and compared the CT findings of iMCD-TAFRO with those of iMCD-non-TAFRO. CT images obtained within 30 days before diagnostic confirmation were reviewed for 20 patients with iMCD (8 men and 12 women, mean age 52.8 ± 12.

A 50-year-old woman presented to our hospital in May2021 with a fever of approximately39 °C and abdominal pain. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an 88 mm right renal tumor. Two weeks later, a follow-up CT scan demonstrated rapid tumor growth, with the major axis measuring 100 mm.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 12-year-old girl revealed NF2 when she presented with abdominal pain, leading to the discovery of a benign nerve sheath tumor in her gallbladder that mimicked atypical symptoms.
- * This case highlights the importance of recognizing uncommon manifestations of NF2 for early diagnosis and treatment, and it emphasizes the need for a collaborative approach in patient management.
Heart failure misdiagnosed as acute cholecystitis: a case report.
J Med Case Rep
October 2024
Shenzhen Longhua District Central Hospital, 168 Guanlan Road, Longhua District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: Heart failure is a clinical syndrome characterized by decreased cardiac output, leading to systemic organ hypoxia and resulting in dyspnea, pulmonary edema, organ congestion, and pleural effusion. Owing to the diverse clinical manifestations of heart failure, early diagnosis can be challenging, and misdiagnosis may occur occasionally. The use of echocardiography and blood brain natriuretic peptide can aid in obtaining a more accurate diagnosis.
