Abstract Background The urachus is an embryological structure of the urogenital sinus and allantoid that connects the allantois to the early bladder in fetal life and then remains as the median umbilical ligament connecting the umbilicus to the dome of the bladder. An early laparoscopic procedure could trigger a quiescent urachal remnant to become symptomatic, causing a lesion or infection either during carbon oxide contamination or insufflation or a periumbilical or suprapubic port placement. Case presentation A 15-year-old girl complaining of supra-pubic abdominal pain. About 2 months previously, she had undergone laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis, and early postoperative period was uneventful. She underwent a robotic-assisted excision of a urachal cyst. Conclusions It has been suggested that early laparoscopic procedures could trigger previously asymptomatic urachal remnants to become symptomatic. Robot-assisted excision of a urachal cyst is a safe, effective alternative to open surgery in children.

Abstract Background The robotic system has been applied in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC), and the procedure has been found to be safe and feasible. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a relatively rare autosomal recessive congenital anomaly. We successfully performed robot-assisted proximal gastrectomy (RAPG) and handsewn double-flap esophagogastrostomy for GC in a patient with SIT. Case presentation A 71-year-old woman was referred to us with an asymptomatic ulcerative lesion in the upper body of the stomach. Computed tomography revealed that she had SIT. She was diagnosed with cT1bN0M0, cStageIA gastric cancer. RAPG with lymph node dissection and handsewn double-flap esophagogastrostomy was performed. Robotic surgery enabled the surgeon to perform the surgery without changing his position and experiencing any confusion resulting from the patient’s reversed anatomy. It took 448 min, and no intraoperative complications occurred. Her postoperative course was uneventful; she was discharged on postoperative day 10. The final pathologic report showed pT1b1N0M0, pStage IA. Conclusions This is the first case describing RAPG with handsewn double-flap esophagogastrostomy for a SIT patient with early GC.

Abstract Background Cerebral embolism after lobectomy is a life-threatening complication during the early postoperative period. However, it is unclear if cerebral embolism can develop after segmentectomy. Case presentation We experienced a case of a 37-year-old man who demonstrated early symptom of acute ischemic stroke in early postoperative period after right upper posterior segmentectomy and performed intra-arterial mechanical thrombectomy (IAMT) successfully. Conclusions Long and irregular pulmonary vein stump (PVS) and endothelial injury caused by surgical procedure may lead to cerebral embolism after segmentectomy. We believe that doing preoperative pulmonary vascular assessment and using appropriate surgical procedure may reduce the rate of cerebral embolism.

Amphibian Metamorphosis

Abstract Thyroid hormone, acting through thyroid hormone receptors (TRs), plays an important role in amphibian metamorphosis and vertebrate development. To identify where and when TRβ1 promoter is activated during fetal life, we carried out an in vivo functional study of a 1.3 kilobase (kb) TRβ1 gene promoter using transgenic mice that express the β-galactosidase gene under control of the TRβ1 promoter. Transactivation of the gene was determined by blue staining of tissues after incubation with X-gal. High expression of transgene was detected in the limbs and face of the 12.5-day-old fetus (12.5F) and 14.5F, reminiscent of the changes occurring during amphibian metamorphosis, and this disappeared at 17.5F. The expression was confined to the tip of finger bones, between fingers in the limb buds, and was detected in the root of whisker follicles, nose, and around the eyes. Signal was detected in the oral cavity, nasal cavity, lung, and urogenital sinus of 14.5F, and disappeared at 17.5F. Signal was detected in the midbrain and auditory vesicles of 9.5F but was reduced between 12.5F and 17.5F, and there was no expression in the cerebral cortex layer of 0 days old neonates (P0). Expression was detected in the cortex after P5. There was signal in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, kidney, and liver of adult mice. TRβ1 messenger RNA was detected by RT-PCR in the developing limbs and face. Transgene expression in the interdigital tissues, which regress during development, suggests that TRβ1 is expressed in mammals in areas undergoing apoptosis as well as in areas undergoing differentiation.
