An interparietal hernia has a hernial sac that passes between the layers of the anterior abdominal wall. Appendectomy is a very common surgical procedure, and post appendectomy incisional hernia is a very rare complication. Here we present a case of a 24-year-old male with swelling in the right hypochondrium and lumbar region with an open appendectomy scar. He was diagnosed to have an interparietal hernia in the anterior abdominal wall. After obtaining consent patient was taken up for surgery. At surgery, the patient was found to have a defect in the transverse abdominis muscle with a medial leaf far from the incision site. Open repair of the defect along with double breasting of external oblique done. Interparietal hernias are rare in post appendectomy scar and this case is of significance since it Highlights a rare interstitial type incisional hernia, as a complication of post appendectomy scar, and not many cases reports are mentioned in literature.展开更多

Methods Human renal interstitial fibroblasts were isolated and cultured in vitro. The cells wers stimulated by TGF-β1 with different concentration (0 to 10ng/ml ) at different time (0 to 48h). The expression of PAI-1 mRNA was assayed by RT-PCR. Results TGF-β1, had dose-dependent and time-dependent effects on the expression of PAI-1 mRNA in renal interstitial fibroblasts. Conclusion TGF-β1 may partic- ipate in renal fibrosis with inducing the expression of PAI-1 mRNA in renal fibroblasts and affecting the synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM).展开更多
