After laparoscopic treatment of the acute conditions, the follow-up examinations
of the patient showed the finding of obstructive jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography revealed a 1-cm polypoid mass located at the ampulla of Vater (duodenal papilla) with possible extension to the ampullary sphincter. A stent was inserted for temporary biliary drainage, and subsequent endoscopic biopsy showed the pathological finding of adenocarcinoma.\n\nAfter waiting for a 1-month period for the peritonitis to heal, the patient underwent pylorus-preserving TLPD and was discharged without any major complications on postoperative day 7.\n\nConclusion: In patients with bile peritonitis, it should be considered that the localization of the perforation may be in an aberrant bile duct localized
at the triangular ligament and the etiology may be associated with an obstructing Selleckchem C59 periampullary tumor. Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is a feasible operative procedure in carefully selected patients. This technique can achieve adequate margins and follows oncological principles. Randomized comparative studies are needed to establish the superiority of minimally invasive surgery over traditional open surgery.”
“To obtain information of glycan changes on cell surface in hepatocarcinoma progress, a high throughout lectin microarray was established to detect glycans on cell surface based on the principle of lectin to glycan binding affinity. Cells extracted ZD1839 from normal or model mice tissues and H22 cell lines were labeled with fluorescence and caught by lectins through the distinctive binding specificities, bound cells were directly detected by a laser fluorescence scanner to obtain the glycome profile
of the cell surface according to the distinctive binding specificities of lectins on microarray and the appearance of bound cells were observed under the microscope. The optimal blocking buffer, optimal incubation time and temperature, optimal cell concentration were studied and specificity of lectin microarray was validated through check details the mannose blocking assay, flow cytometry and different blood type erythrocyte. High level of diversity of glycoprofiling was present between normal and hepatocarcinoma mice, only PSA, DSL, STL, NPL captured cells in normal group, all lectin captured cells except LTL and DBA in hepatocarcinoma group, the result show that Sia, GluNAc, GaINAc, Man and Gal increased on hepatocarcinoma cell surface. These results imply that these carbohydrates and correlate glycoprotein may play key roles in occurrence and development in liver canceration. The lectin microarray established a stable, real-time and throughout method and provides a novel strategy for study profiling changes of the cell surface glycome on tumor metastasis.
