Abstract

To analyze common problems, failing causes and improvement ways for curing gallstones by choledochoscope in operation. To analyze a case group of 762 individual patients who had undergone choledochoscope operations in the period of Jan, 1995 approximately Sep, 2005. 136 cases are found with residual stones in the bile duct after the operations. Residual stone rate amounts to 17.8%. 55 patients are known that bile duct stones could not be remove completely during operations. 81 patients are proved that stones still remain in their bile ducts by T-tube cholangiography and choledochoscope after operations. Among them, 29 patients complicate with narrow in intrahepatic bile ducts and debouch of bile ducts, 39 patients complicate with stones of intrahepatic bile and variation of bile duct, 13 patients complicate with stones and narrow at the inferior segment of choledochus. It is important to pay attention for bile duct variation and debouch of affection bile duct or inferior segment of choledochus stenosis. B-ultrasound is useful to reduce residual stones in operations. The surgeon should check different lengths of the duct methodically, and use the endoscope to explore the bile duct in order not to omit any stones.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
