Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms are a rare and complex group of neoplastic lesions that develop from pancreatic islet cells.Their incidence has dramatically increased during the last two decades.Due to its complex nature and pathophysiological behaviour,surgical management continues to evolve.Surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment for most non-functional and functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours,while lymphadenectomy remains a controversial subject.Different techniques,such as pancreas-preserving and minimally invasive approaches,continue to evolve and offer the same overall outcomes as open surgery.This comprehensive review describes in detail the current and most up-todate classification and staging of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours,explores the rationale for nonsurgical and surgical management,and focuses on surgical treatment and more specifically,on minimally invasive approaches. 展开更多

Over the last several years,the need to find clean and renewable energy sources has increased rapidly because current fossil fuels will not only eventually be depleted,but their continuous combustion leads to a dramatic increase in the carbon dioxide amount in atmosphere.Utilisation of the Sun's radiation can provide a solution to both problems.Hydrogen fuel can be generated by using solar energy to split water,and liquid fuels can be produced via direct CO2 photoreduction.This would create an essentially free carbon or at least carbon neutral energy cycle.In this tutorial review,the current progress in fuels' generation directly driven by solar energy is summarised.Fundamental mechanisms are discussed with suggestions for future research. 展开更多

AIM To determine the radiation dose and image quality in coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)using state-of-the-art dose reduction methods in unselected"real world"patients.METHODS In this single-centre study,consecutive patients in sinus rhythm underwent CCTA for suspected coronary artery disease(CAD)using a 320-row detector CT scanner.All patients underwent the standard CT acquisition protocol at our institute(Morriston Hospital)a combination of dose saving advances including prospective electrocardiogram-gating,automated tube current modulation,tube voltage reduction,heart rate reduction,and the most recent novel adaptive iterative dose reconstruction 3D(AIDR3D)algorithm.The cohort comprised real-world patients for routine CCTA who were not selected on age,body mass index,or heart rate.Subjective image quality was graded on a 4-point scale(4=excellent,1=non-diagnostic).RESULTS A total of 543 patients were included in the study with a mean body weight of 81±18 kg and a pre-scan mean heart rate of 70±11 beats per minute(bpm).When indicated,patients received rate-limiting medication with an oral beta-blocker followed by additional intravenous beta-blocker to achieve a heart rate below 65 bpm.The median effective radiation dose was 0.88 mSv(IQR,0.6-1.4 mSv)derived from a Dose Length Product of61.45 mGy.cm(IQR,42.86-100.00 mGy.cm).This also includes what we believe to be the lowest ever-reported radiation dose for a routine clinical CCTA(0.18 mSv).The mean image quality(SD)was 3.65±0.61,with a subjective image quality score of 3("good")or above for 93%of patient CCTAs.CONCLUSION Combining a low-dose scan protocol and AIDR3D with a 320-detector row CT scanner can provide high quality images at exceptionally low radiation dose in unselected patients being investigated for CAD. 展开更多

AIM: Providing analgesia via peripheral nerve catheters attached to an infusion pump is an effective pain management option in children.METHODS: Portable infusion pumps are being used with increased frequency in pediatric patients. Because these pumps are infusing potentially toxic doses of medications, the accuracy and consistency of these devices becomes very important in this patient population. This study is a comparison of the actual delivery volume of local anesthetic of three elastomeric infusion devices approved for patient use in the ambulatory setting. Three brands of disposable elastomeric infusion devices were used(Five On-Q, Five Baxter, and Five Ambu pumps). Each was filled with 200 m L of Ropivicaine 0.1% and connected to a single, end hole infusion catheter and set to infuse at 12 m L/h. The devices were run simultaneously. The fluid delivered was measured every hour with a graduated column over a tenhour period. The ambient temperature was also recorded.RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences in the output from each elastomeric device over the 10 h infusion period when compared to the nominal rate of 12 m L/h. The output from the Ambu and Baxter pumps was less than that set on the regulator, while the output from the On-Q pump was greater than that set on the regulator. The results remained statistically significant after adjusting the nominal rate to correct for differences in temperature. The Ambu infusion device was the most consistent, while the Baxter infusion device was the most accurate. This emphasizes the importance of health care providers understanding the infusion profile of the pump being used for continuous peripheral nerve block, as these alterations in flow could result in inadequate analgesia, early reservoir exhaustion, excessive muscle weakness or potential toxicity, especially when used in pediatric patients.CONCLUSION: This investigation demonstrates that three modern elastomeric infusion pumps have significantly different output than the nominal rate set on the regulator. 展开更多

Adult progenitor cells activation is a key event in the formation of adult organs.In Drosophilat formation of abdominal adult trachea depends on the specific activation of tracheal adult progenitors(tracheoblasts)at the Tr4 and Tr5 spiracular branches.Proliferation of these tracheoblasts generates a pool of tracheal cells that migrate toward the posterior part of the trachea by the activation of the branchless/fibroblast growth factor(Bnl/FGF)signaling to form the abdominal adult trachea.Here,we show that,in addition to migration,Bnl/FGF signaling,mediated by the transcription factor Pointed,is also required for tracheoblast proliferation.This tracheoblast activation relies on the expression of the FGF ligand bnl in their nearby branches.Finally,we show that,in the absence of the transcription factor Cut(Ct),Bnl/FGF signaling induces endoreplication of tracheoblasts partially by promoting fizzy-related expression.Altogether,our results suggest a dual role of Bnl/FGF signaling in tracheoblasts,inducing both proliferation and endoreplication,depending on the presence or absence of the transcription factor Ct,respectively. 展开更多
