RESUMO

Cytokines are expressed by various cells after several stimuli such as surgical tissue damage, producing a systemic inflammatory response (SIR). C-reactive protein (CRP) is used extensively in clinical practice after operative injury, but proinflammatory cytokines, iron status, albumin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio and hemoglobin, as acute phase reactants, have been poorly documented. This study aims to show how they behave after surgery, comparing laparoscopic (LC) versus open cholecystectomy (OC). In total, 55 patients were included in a prospective non-randomized form to undergo a cholecystectomy: 8 patients OC (50% females) and 47 patients LC (68% females). Before (A1) and 24 h after surgery (A2), blood samples were taken for an ordinary analysis and IL6, IL8 and TNFα determination. There were no differences between LC and OC groups concerning age, CRP, IL6 and TNFα at day A1. In the LC group at day A2, CRP, IL6, IL8, TNF, ferritin, leukocytes and N/L ratio increased; hemoglobin, lymphocytes, prothrombin and albumin decreased (p < 0.05). In the OC group at day A2, only IL6 (p < 0,07), ferritin, leukocytes, N/L ratio and CRP (p < 0.05) increased; serum iron, hemoglobin, lymphocytes and albumin (p < 0.05) decreased. At day A2, OC vs. LC group, higher values were observed in IL6, ferritin and CRP (p ≤ 0.05), and lesser values were observed in serum iron and prothrombin (p < 0.05). In conclusion, classic markers of inflammation are altered after surgery, in a milder way in laparoscopic surgery. Ferritin can be used as an inflammatory marker, as has been described in COVID-19 infection.

RESUMO

Los tumores retroperitoneales son lesiones infrecuentes. Las tumoraciones nerviosas benignas como los schwannomas representan menos del 3% de ellos, siendo extremadamente raros los que afectan el nervio obturador. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con importante afectación funcional en miembro inferior izquierdo y dolor pélvico, al que se le diagnosticó neoplasia retroperitoneal. Fue intervenido por vía laparoscópica objetivándose la dependencia de la lesión del nervio obturador. Se llevó a cabo una exéresis completa de la lesión preservando parcialmente el nervio. El paciente tuvo una evolución funcional y álgica muy favorable. La anatomía patología reveló la presencia de schwannoma, del denominado subtipo "anciano", sin datos de malignidad. Consideramos que el informe de un caso como este puede ayudar a conocer una patología muy infrecuente y a tener en consideración algunos puntos clave como la técnica de abordaje y la necesidad de preservación de las estructuras nerviosas.


Retroperitoneal tumors are uncommon; benign tumors originating in the nerve cells as schwannomas represent less than 3%, while schwannomas of the obturator nerve are extremely rare. We report the case of a male patient with significant functional compromise of the left lower limb and pelvic pain who was diagnosed with a retroperitoneal tumor. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery during which the compromise of the obturator nerve was evident. The lesion was completely resected with partial preservation of the nerve. The patient progressed with favorable functional recovery and pain relief. The histopathological examination reported a benign ancient schwannoma. We believe that this case report can help to understand a very rare condition and consider some key points such as the technique of approach and the need for preservation of the nerve structures.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: This research reports the epidemiology of diving injuries managed in the Hyperbaric Medicine Unit of the Canary Islands University Hospital. METHODS: Data were extracted from the clinical records of all divers injured and admitted to the unit for treatment of dysbaric diving injuries between 2008 and 2017, inclusive. RESULTS: One-hundred and thirty diving injuries were recorded. Most (71%) occurred in men and 43% were foreigners. Eighteen per cent either had no diving certification or that information was not recorded in the clinical chart. Only a third of the 40% of divers who had some form of on-site first aid treatment received oxygen and oral rehydration. Type 1 decompression sickness (DCS) was diagnosed in 56 divers (43%) and Type 2 in 67 (52%), whilst seven were treated for omitted decompression. At discharge, 122 (94%) were asymptomatic, whilst 5% experienced some residual sensory or other changes. One diver who presented late remained quadriparetic and one, admitted in a state of coma, died. Only 76% of the injured divers had specific diving accident insurance and, of those, 58% were foreign divers. CONCLUSIONS: Over half of the injured divers did not receive any on-site first aid. The majority (94%) of treated injured divers were discharged without sequelae. Based on these data, several public health recommendations for the Canary Islands are made.

RESUMO

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays a key role in folate metabolism, and folate is implicated in carcinogenesis due to its role in DNA methylation, repair and synthesis. The MTHFR C677T polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of CRC and increased sensitivity to 5-FU treatment. The present study addressed the relationship between this polymorphism and histopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of prognostic significance in 50 patients from the Canary Islands. No differences were found between the MTHFR C677T genotypes with respect to tumor budding, tumor necrosis, desmoplastic fibrosis and tumoral eosinophilia. No significant differences were found in Ki-67, bcl-2 (cytoplasmic and nuclear), CD31, CD3+ T lymphocytes (both stromal and intraepithelial) and peritumoral CD20+ B lymphocytes. In carriers of the MTHFR CC variant, tumor margins were infiltrative more frequently (68.7%) than in CT+TT carriers (33.3%, p=0.03). In addition, wild-type CC genotype showed stromal CD20+ B lymphocytes (68.8%) more often than CT+TT carriers (33.3%, p=0.03). Both parameters indicate a better tumor prognosis when the MTHFR 677T variant is present.

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN: Los tumores estromales gastrointestinales (GIST) son los tumores mesenquimales más frecuentes del tracto gastrointestinal. Han surgido numerosas publicaciones de GIST asociados con otras neoplasias. OBJETIVOS: El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar esta posible asociación en una población aislada genéticamente. MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de pacientes con GIST en nuestro centro entre los años 2002-2009. Se compararon datos epidemiológicos, patológicos y familiares de pacientes con GIST sin neoplasias asociadas (grupo A) frente a pacientes con GIST y neoplasias asociadas (grupo B). Se investigó un posible mecanismo genético común entre GIST y las neoplasias asociadas mediante la detección, en todos los tumores, por el marcador inmunohistoquímico CD117. RESULTADOS: Se hallaron 22 pacientes con GIST, 10 del grupo A (45%) y 12 del grupo B (55%). En el grupo B, el tumor asociado fue maligno en 6 pacientes (50%) y benigno en otros 6 (50%). De 22 pacientes con GIST, 8 (36%) presentaron antecedentes familiares de neoplasia maligna. De estos 8 pacientes, 7 eran (87,5%) del grupo B (p = 0,03) y en 3 (37,5%) coincidieron el tipo anatomopatológico de neoplasia padecida por el paciente y su familiar. No hubo GIST en ningún familiar. Todos los GIST mostraron positividad para el CD117, mientras que las neoplasias asociadas fueron negativas para este marcador. CONCLUSIONES: No se ha demostrado positividad inmunohistoquímica para CD117 en las neoplasias asociadas. Dadas las especiales características de la población a estudio, la relación entre GIST y las neoplasias asociadas posiblemente sea casual

Numerous studies have reported the association between GIST and other neoplasms. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between GIST and other tumors in a genetically isolated population. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted of patients with GIST between 2002 and 2009 at our center. Epidemiological, pathological and family data in patients with GIST alone (group A) were compared with those in patients with GIST associated with other neoplasms (group B). A possible common genetic mechanism was investigated between GIST and associated malignancies by testing the detection of the immunohistochemical marker, CD117, in all tumors. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients with GIST were identified, 10 in group A (45%) and 12 in group B (55%). In group B, the associated tumor was malignant in 6 patients (50%) and benign in another 6 (50%). Of the 22 patients with GIST, 8 (36%) had a family history of malignancies. Of these 8 patients, 7 (87.5%) were in group B (p = 0.03) and 3 (37.5%) showed the same pathological type of neoplasm as their relatives. All GIST were positive for CD117 whereas associated malignancies were negative for this marker. CONCLUSION: We did not find immunohistochemical positivity for CD117 in malignancies associated with GIST. Given the special characteristics of the study population, the association between GIST and associated malignancies may be incidental

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Recurrent gallstone ileus is an uncommon mechanical intestinal obstruction secondary to occlusion of the intestine by an intraluminal biliary calculus. CLINICAL CASE: Female, 75 years old, ischaemic heart disease (stent), arrived in our department complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography showed gallstone ileus. The patient underwent an enterotomy with gallstone removal. Three months later, the patient came back with the same clinical symptoms and signs. A new computed tomography highlighted a gallstone ileus again. Enterolithotomy and gallstone removal, cholecystectomy and closure of cholecystoduodenal fistula were performed. The patient had a prolonged hospital stay due to the development of congestive heart failure. Case 2. Male, 71 years old, ischaemic heart disease and aortocoronary bypass, seen in our department complaining of vomiting. Computed tomography showed aerobilia and gallstone ileus. The patient underwent an urgent enterolithotomy. Seven months later, the patient came back with the same clinical symptoms and signs. Computed tomography showed a new gallstone ileus. An enterotomy and gallstone removal, cholecystectomy and closure of cholecystoduodenal fistula were performed. The patient died due to multi-organ failure in post-surgery period. CONCLUSION: In the elderly patients with concomitant medical illnesses with the risk of a second laparotomy, it is justifiable to reconsider the definitive repair in the treatment of gallstone ileus. The enterolithotomy in acute phase followed by early cholecystectomy (4-8 weeks) may be a safe method for eliminating, not only the possibility of recurrent gallstone ileus, and probably the need for a second laparotomy, but also the exceptional possibility of developing a gallbladder carcinoma.

RESUMO

Colorectal tumor perforation is a life-threatening complication of this disease. However, little is known about the anatomopathological factors or pathophysiologic mechanisms involved. Pathological and immunohistochemical analysis of factors related with tumoral neo-angiogenesis, which could influence tumor perforation are assessed in this study. A retrospective study of patients with perforated colon tumors (Group P) and T4a nonperforated (controls) was conducted between 2001 and 2010. Histological variables (differentiation, vascular invasion, and location) and immunohistochemical (CD31, Growth Endothelial Vascular Factor (VEGF) and p53) related with tumor angiogenesis were analyzed. Of 2189 patients, 100 (4.56%) met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 49 patients had nonperforated (2.23%) and 51 had perforated tumors (2.32%). The P group had lower number of right-sided tumors (7/51, 13.7%) compared with controls (13/49, 36.7%) (P = .01). The high-grade tumors (undifferentiated) represented only 3.9% of the perforated tumors; the remaining 96.1% were well differentiated (P = .01). No differences between groups in the frequency of TP53 mutation or VEGF and CD31 expression were found. In the P group, only 2 (3.9%) had vascular invasion (P = .01). Of the 12 tumors with vascular invasion, only 2 were perforated (16.6%). The median number of metastatic lymph-nodes in P Group was 0 versus 3 in controls (Z = -4.2; P < .01). Pathological analysis of variables that indirectly measure the presence of tumor angiogenesis (differentiation, vascular invasion, and the number of metastatic lymph nodes) shows a relationship between this and the perforation, location, and tumor differentiation. We could not directly validate our hypothesis, by immunohistochemistry of TP53, VEGF, and CD31, that perforated tumors exhibit less angiogenesis.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Acute appendiceal diverticulitis is an unusual cause of acute abdomen, considered clinically indistinguishable from acute appendicitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a historic cohort study with 27 cases of appendiceal diverticulitis and 54 cases of acute appendicitis, we compared clinical characteristics, diagnostic tests and pathology findings of the two processes. RESULTS: Mean age at presentation was lower in acute appendicitis (37.24 +/- 19.98 vs. 54.81 +/- 17.55 years, p < 0.001), with significant differences between men (33.33 +/- 15.89 vs. 57 +/- 18.02 years, p < 0.001) but not between women (41.76 +/- 24.87 vs. 50.44 +/- 16.69 years, p = 0.34). In the diverticulitis group, 48.15 % had leukocytosis vs. 81.48 % in the appendicitis group (p = 0.02); there was no difference in leukocyte count (13770.37 +/- 4382.55 vs. 14279.63 +/- 4268.59, p = 0.61). Patients with appendiceal diverticulitis had a higher incidence of appendiceal mucocele (p = 0.01) and a lower proportion of appendiceal gangrene (p = 0.03). There were no differences in appendiceal perforation or ulceration. Symptom duration before emergency department attendance (71.61 +/- 85.25 hours vs. 36.84 +/- 33.59 hours; Z = -3.1 p = 0.002), duration of surgery (85 +/- 40 minutes vs. 60 +/- 21 minutes, Z = -3.2, p = 0.001) and the presence of appendicular plastron was higher in patients with diverticulitis vs. appendicitis (8 vs. 5 patients [p = 0.01, Odds ratio 2.2]). CONCLUSIONS: Appendiceal diverticulitis presents a series of clinical, epidemiological and pathological differences with respect to acute appendicitis. The former shows a more indolent course with delayed diagnosis.

RESUMO

El íleo biliar es una causa poco frecuente de obstrucción intestinal mecánica, causada por el paso del cálculo a través de la luz intestinal, de difícil diagnóstico preoperatorio en el Servicio de Urgencias. Presentamos un estudio retrospectivo de 5 casos de íleo biliar tratados entre 2000 y 2010. Se analizaron las características clínicas, las pruebas diagnósticas y el tratamiento quirúrgico realizado. Se incluyó a 5 pacientes, 2 empezaron con una obstrucción intestinal típica, otros 2 presentaron un íleo biliar recurrente previamente intervenido y el último presentó una peritonitis secundaria a la perforación de un divertículo ileal. En todos los casos, la TAC permitió el diagnóstico preoperatorio. En nuestra experiencia, el íleo biliar puede aparecer con clínica diferente a la obstrucción intestinal. En lo casos de sospecha, una TAC puede ser útil para disminuir el retraso diagnóstico relacionado con mayor número de complicaciones (AU)


Gallstone ileus is an uncommon type of mechanical intestinal obstruction caused by an intraluminal gallstone, and preoperative diagnosis is difficult in the Emergency department. This study is a retrospective analysis of the clinical presentation of 5 patients with gallstone ileus treated between 2000-2010. Clinical features, diagnostic testing, and surgical treatment were analyzed. Five patients were included: 2 cases showed bowel obstruction; 2 patients presented a recurrent gallstone ileus with prior surgical intervention; and one patient presented acute peritonitis due to perforation of an ileal diverticula. In all cases CT confirmed the preoperative diagnosis. In our experience, gallstone ileus may present with clinical features other than intestinal obstruction. In suspicious cases CT may be useful to decrease diagnostic delay, which is associated with more complications (AU)
