RESUMEN
Accumulating evidence indicates that skeletal muscle secrets proteins referred to as myokines and that exercise contributes to their regulation. In this study, we propose that chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10) functions as a novel myokine. Initially, we stimulated differentiated C2C12 myotubes with or without electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) to identify novel myokines. Cytokine array analysis revealed that CXCL10 secretion was significantly reduced by EPS, which was further confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Treadmill experiments in mice identified significant reduction of Cxcl10 gene expression in the soleus muscle. Additionally, contraction-dependent p38 MAPK activation appeared to be involved in this reduction. Furthermore, C2C12 conditioned medium obtained after applying EPS could induce survival of MSS31, a vascular endothelial cell model, which was partially attenuated by the addition of recombinant CXCL10. Overall, our findings suggest CXCL10 as a novel exercise-reducible myokine, to control endothelial cell viability.

Subtotal colectomy is often performed on patients with synchronous colorectal cancer. However, compared with colorectal anastomosis, ileorectal anastomosis with subtotal colectomy is more likely to result in bowel dysfunction. The Deloyers procedure is useful in preserving bowel function in a patient with synchronous colorectal cancer. An 87-year-old man presented with bloody stool. Colonoscopy showed masses in the cecum, transverse colon, rectosigmoid, and rectum above the peritoneal reflection. Computed tomography scan revealed no evidence of regional lymph node swelling and distant metastasis. Therefore, robot-assisted low anterior resection, laparoscopic extended left hemicolectomy, laparoscopic cecal resection, and diverting ileostomy were performed. The patient was discharged from the hospital without complications. There was no recurrence, and the patient did not have complaints such as urgency, fecal incontinence, and excretory dysfunction. Hence, minimally invasive coloproctectomy using the Deloyers procedure can be safe and useful in preserving postoperative bowel function in elderly patients.

Undergoing another surgery after a previous abdominal procedure can sometimes result in significant abdominal adhesions. We present a case of robot-assisted low anterior resection in a patient with rectal cancer who had a urinary reservoir. A 65-year-old male patient underwent robot-assisted total bladder resection and creation of a urinary reservoir for bladder cancer in 2013. He presented with melena. Thus, the findings revealed advanced low rectal cancer. The robot-assisted low anterior resection was performed in 2022. Extensive adhesions were observed in the pelvic space. The indocyanine green function was appropriately used, and the robotic surgery was completed without injury to the urinary reservoir or major complications. The surgical time was 510 min, and the blood loss volume was 15 mL. The patient had been recurrence free for 12 months following the surgery. Robot-assisted surgery can be beneficial for patients with rectal cancer with significant pelvic adhesions.
