The results we obtained are positive and encouraging because the morbidity and mortality are similar to the different sources we reviewed, nevertheless, this study is our initial experience and we required more cases to obtain a significant sample.

The aim of the study was to evaluate urgent care practice with regard to anorectal abscesses (AA) in a tertiary-level referral hospital.

this was retrospective and unicentric study. Patients who underwent surgery for AA between 2016 and 2017 were included in the study. Demographic variables were analyzed as well as the treatment performed, the need for hospitalization, use of antibiotics, and referral to the coloproctology outpatient department (COD). The recurrence risk factors were also evaluated.

A total of 220 evaluations under anesthesia were performed, corresponding to 190 patients, 129 males (mean age 46 ± 14.9 years). The most frequent treatment in the emergency department (ED) was simple drainage (75.8%). Antibiotic therapy was prescribed in 62.9% of the cases. A total of 41.1% of the patients were referred to a specialized COD. The only risk factor associated with recurrence was the presence of an associated anal fistula.

Anorectal abscesses are very frequent in the ED. There is great clinical variability regarding the taking of cultures, prescription of antibiotics, and referral criteria to a specialized coloproctology outpatient department, without clear impact of any of them on the recurrence of the abscess.

Los efectos antiinflamatorios de la dafnetina (7,8-dihidroxicumarina) han sido bien documentados, pero su potencial como agente anticanceroso es controversial y no se ha explorado suficientemente.

En este trabajo se evalúa el efecto antiproliferativo in vitro de la dafnetina en tres líneas celulares mediante ensayos de MTT, así como su efecto antitumoral in vivo en cuatro diferentes tipos de tumores en ratones.

Con una correlación entre los resultados in vitro e in vivo, los tipos de células probadas tienen diferente sensibilidad al compuesto. Las siguientes líneas celulares están ordenadas de acuerdo con la potencia antiproliferativa in vitro de la dafnetina células de melanoma B16 (IC

= 54 ± 2.8 µM) > células de adenocarcinoma de mama MXT (IC

= 74 ± 6.4 µM) > células de carcinoma de colon C26 (IC

= 108 ± 7.3 µM). In vivo, la dosis antitumoral óptima de dafnetina fue de 40 mg/kg, y las magnitudes de inhibición fueron las siguientes tumor B16 (48%) > tumor MXT (40%) > tumor fibrosarcoma S180 (30%) > tumor C26 (20%).

Los resultados indican que la dafnetina podría tener un impacto como adyuvante para mejorar la efectividad de la quimioterapia convencional.

The degenerative spine has an incidence greater than 60% in people over 60 years old. Functionality and pain is assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the visual analogue pain scale (VAPS), respectively.

To evaluate the functionality and pain one year after surgery, in patients with degenerative spine.

Comparative, longitudinal study, in patients with degenerative spine surgically managed during 2016 to 2018. Functional aspects and pain were evaluated before surgery and one year later using ODI and VAPS. Descriptive statistics, measures of central tendency and dispersion, Student's t were used for the difference between the pre and postoperative values of both scales.

There were 18 patients. Of these, 15 completed the follow-up; 8 were men and 7 women. The average age was 63.5 ± 4.8 years; 13 presented moderate post-surgical functional limitation, 2 intense functional limitation. There were statistically significant differences between the pre and postoperative values for ODI and VAPS (p = 0.011 and p = 0.017, respectively).

Functionality and pain evaluated one year after surgery, have a statistically significant difference compared to evaluations before surgery in patients with spine deformity surgically treated.

The introduction of new energy vessel sealing devices in minimally invasive proctectomy led to better hemostatic effect, less blood loss, and shorter operating time. At present, the available evidence from literature about the use of electro-thermal bipolar vessel sealers (EBVS) in laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery is weak where most studies are retrospective with non-homogenous patient groups.

This is a retrospective cohort study where 40 rectal cancer patients operated by laparoscopic TME or laparoscopic assisted transanal total mesorectal excision were classified in two groups according to approach of inferior mesenteric vessels ligation (EBVS versus Clipping).

The operative time was significantly longer and the blood loss was significantly more in the EBVS group. However, hospital stay, time to oral, time to starting stoma function, and number of retrieved lymph nodes were not significantly affected by the method of vascular control.

Both methods for control of vascular pedicle during minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery are safe, as such it is at the discretion of the operating surgeon to which method to use. Prospective well-designed trials are awaited to provide stronger evidence.

The microRNAs have been confirmed to be connected with GC progression. Accumulative evidence has suggested that miR-6838-5p exerts a suppressive effect on human cancers. Nonetheless, whether miR-6838-5p is involved in the regulation of GC remains to be investigated. During our research, miR-6838-5p was downregulated in GC cells. Upregulated miR-6838-5p repressed GC cell cycle progression, proliferation, migration, and invasion. Furthermore, miR-6838-5p overexpression repressed the nuclear import of β-catenin, thus inactivating Wnt/β-catenin pathway. GF120918 purchase Moreover, we observed that GPRIN3 was targeted by miR-6838-5p in GC with luciferase reporter and RIP assays. GPRIN3 upregulation reversed the suppression of miR-6838-5p in GC cellular processes. These findings suggest miR-6838-5p restrains the malignant behaviors of GC cells via targeting GPRIN3 to repress Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which may provide novel targets for GC treatment.
