Microsatellite alterations on human chromosome 11 in in situ and invasive breast cancer: A microdissection microsatellite analysis and correlation with p53, ER (estrogen receptor), and PR (progesterone receptor) protein immunoreactivity

Microsatellite instability (MSI) has been documented in a subset of sporadic tumors. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 11 loci in breast cancer is a frequent event. The purpose of the present study is to examine the incidence of microsatellite alterations in in situ and invasive human breast carcinoma and to clarify their significance in regulating the dynamics of cancer progression.

Incidental Bilateral Hernioplasty during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report

This paper examines the case of a 55-year–old male who underwent incidental laparoscopic hernioplasty during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The right side of an indirect inguinal hernia was repaired via a preperitoneal paproach with mesh repair. The left side of the hernia was treated with lateral suture repair. The total operative time was 250 minutes. The patient’s pain abated in the first 4 dyas and was easily controlled with oral analgesics. Nomal activity was resumed in 5 dyas and he returned to work after 2 weeks. No recurrence was noted during a 20-month follow up. Simultaneous execution of these two procedures was both feasible and safe.

Nutrition on Short Bowel Syndrome - One Case Report

This paper examines the case of a 19-year-old unmarried woman who underwent an abor-tion procedure for a 5-month pregnancy in which 300 cm of small intestine were degrooved. Af-ter two more operations, only the proximal 7 cm of jejunum survived; massive resection of almost 95% of the small intestine was performed. We observed triceps skin fold (TSF), mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC), transferring, albumin, and body weight (BW) in order to evaluate nutria-tional status and compared the effects of enteral and parenteral nutrition in cases of extreme bowel resection. We found that the best results could be obtained through a combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition.
