Sphere Of Influence

Modern surgery is taking over more and more organs, recapturing more and more areas of internal medicine. We see that in its great progressive movement surgery gradually involves within its sphere of influence a whole range of diseases that previously belonged exclusively to the sphere of internal medicine, such as some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, lungs, etc. We see that even those organs, which until so recently were considered inaccessible to the art of the surgeon, are beginning to be subject to surgical intervention. Such last inviolable organ, on which the hand of the surgeon has not encroached for a long time, is the heart.

Oncological Diseases

Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract are widespread among the population and cause significant damage to the health care system. In order to improve the strategy of preventive measures and the detection of oncological diseases at the early stages, it is necessary to provide timely impact on possible risk factors contributing to the onset and progression of malignant neoplasms. This review demonstrates the association between the pathology of the biliary tract and oncological diseases of the digestive system, discusses the possible mechanisms of the influence of cholelithiasis and cholecystectomy on the development of malignant neoplasms of various parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

Irritable Bowel

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) – a recurrent functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), the main symptom of which is abdominal pain necessarily associated with a change in intestinal function. IBS is a functional intestinal disorder in which recurrent abdominal pain is associated with a defecation act and a change in the frequency or shape of the stool. The diagnosis of IBS remains exclusively clinical. The difficulty in studying IBS, especially from the perspective of its epidemiology, is that there is still no universal and specific biological marker. Very often patients complain about symptoms typical for several functional disorders, in particular, biliary tract pathology and IBS. The article discusses the multi-component causes and mechanisms of IBS formation, which are also present in other functional gastrointestinal tract diseases. Patients with IBS often have functional disorders of the biliary tract (FDBT) that are not associated with organic pathology. There are no reliable differences in the frequency and nature of FDBT in patients with IBS, depending on its current variant - with constipation or diarrhea prevalence. As a result, the treatment of patients with IBS remains a challenge, and the recurrence of the disease depends on the state of psycho-emotional health, the presence of overlap syndrome in most cases. The article presents the main international criteria for diagnostics of IBS. The main approaches to the treatment of IBS are considered. Good results in the treatment of IBS are observed when using drugs that affect the complex of pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease. This is confirmed in the article by a clinical case study. The prescription of the Sparex drug for pain relief in a patient with IBS and FDBT is justified by the fact that it not only eliminates pain, but also improves the rheological properties of bile, typical for overlap “IBS-FDBT” syndrome.

Context.— Immunomarkers with diagnostic, therapeutic, or prognostic values have been increasingly used to maximize the benefits of clinical management of patients with neoplastic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas. Objectives.— To review the characteristics of immunomarkers that are commonly used in surgical pathology practice for neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas, and to summarize the clinical usefulness of immunomarkers that have been discovered in recent years in these fields. Data Sources.— Data sources include literature review, authors' research data, and personal practice experience. Conclusions.— Immunohistochemistry is an indispensable tool for the accurate diagnosis of neoplastic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas. Useful immunomarkers are available to help distinguish malignant neoplasms from benign conditions, determine organ origins, and subclassify neoplasms that are morphologically and biologically heterogeneous. Specific immunomarkers are also available to help guide patient treatment and assess disease aggressiveness, which are keys to the success of personalized medicine. Pathologists will continue to play a critical role in the discovery, validation, and application of new biomarkers, which will ultimately improve patient care.

Three fishers ( Martes pennanti), 2 gray foxes ( Urocyon cinereoargenteus), 1 mink ( Neovison vison), 1 skunk ( Mephitis mephitis), and 1 raccoon ( Procyon lotor), from Vermont and New Hampshire, had lesions on autopsy consistent with canine distemper virus (CDV) infections diagnosed in a 12-mo period in 2016–2017. Lesions of CDV infection were most commonly noted in the lungs (8 of 8 animals), urothelium (5 of 8), biliary tract (5 of 8), gastrointestinal tract (4 of 7), and brain (4 of 6). Splenic lesions were seen in 3 animals. The diagnosis was confirmed via immunohistochemistry and virus isolation. Viral genotyping indicated that all 8 animals were infected with a distinct clade of CDV that has only been reported in wildlife in New England, and this clade of viruses is distinct from vaccine strains. During the 12 mo when these cases occurred, no other CDV clade was identified in any other wildlife or domesticated animal submitted from the 2 states.

Microscopic Findings

The distinction between a primary and metastatic mucinous carcinoma within the ovary may be problematic. In most cases, the distinction can be made by careful pathological examination encompassing both the gross and microscopic findings and taking into account the distribution of the disease. However, immunohistochemistry may be of value in certain scenarios. In this review, I discuss the value of markers in the distinction between primary ovarian mucinous neoplasms and metastatic mucinous carcinomas from the colorectum, appendix, pancreas, biliary tract, stomach and cervix, the most common primary sites which give rise to metastatic mucinous carcinoma within the ovary. There is a significant degree of immunophenotypic overlap between primary ovarian mucinous neoplasms and metastatic mucinous carcinomas from the gastrointestinal tract, especially the upper gastrointestinal type; this is because most primary ovarian mucinous carcinomas and borderline tumours are of so-called intestinal or enteric type and exhibit some degree of positivity with enteric markers. Mullerian type primary ovarian mucinous neoplasms also exist and exhibit distinct immunohistochemical differences to the more common intestinal type.
