[Central venous access in pediatric patients. A 6-year experience].

The need for an access to the venous system, in order to infuse chemotherapeutic treatments or parenteral nutrition, has increased the number of central venous access systems (CVAS) implanted in the past years. Between February 1985 and December 1990, 87 devices were implanted in 76 patients (from 11 months to 15 years of age), with a median function time of 349 days (range: 7 to 1887 days). The overall incidence of complications was 0.10 per 10 days of catheterization, with complication rates for infection and thrombosis of 0.02 and 0.03, respectively. Nineteen systems were removed because of complications and 11 because of completion of the treatment. Of the cases, 97.7% included a follow-up period. The present study confirms the advantages of these devices, with a long working life and a low complication rate, being a good alternative for chronically ill children requiring long-term and/or cyclic intravenous therapy.

[The role of leukotrienes and other eicosanoids in the response to an allograft. New perspectives on the control of rejection].

The role of eicosanoids in the development of immune response may be important to the viability of the implanted organ, given their complicated interaction with lymphokines and monokines which regulate the response. Due to this reason, more experiments in vivo are necessary to provide a better understanding of the behaviour of these compounds. This would help to clearly determine the role of these substances in the immune response--more exactly, in the allogenic transplant rejection--creating new ways for its control.

[Carcinoid tumors. Carcinoid syndrome. Clinicopathologic and therapeutic aspects].

A review of the current state of carcinoid tumors is presented, with special attention to the diagnostic, pronostic and new therapeutic aspects. In spite of being a well known entity the diagnosis is difficult being confirmed only by pathologic findings. The current medical therapy and surgical options are described. New surgical alternatives--organ cluster transplantation--seems to be the definitive solution in metastatic disease.

[Liver transplantation. New perspectives in pediatric liver transplantation].

In the last decade, the development of the liver grafting in childs, has pointed out the efficacy of this modality as the treatment of several inborns errors of metabolism. Due to the technical limitations of the orthotopic liver transplantation, new modalities have been sought. Among them, liver cells transplantation represent the most attractive. Different studies have confirmed the efficacy of liver cell grafting in the treatment of several experimental models of hepatophathy: acute liver failure experimental cirrhosis and models of enzyme deficiency. These results have established the bases for the future clinical application of this technique in childs. As well as other forms of isolated cell transplantation; liver cell grafting could provide a good model for cryopreservation, immunological manipulation and genetic engineering.

[Liver transplant in fibrolamellar hepatocarcinoma: apropos of a case. Review of the literature].

A case is presented of fibrolamellar hepatocarcinoma in a 12 year-old male treated by liver transplantation; there is no evidence of tumoral recurrence at 28 months. Donos and receptor were ABO incompatible. The immunosuppressive regimen used was cyclosporine A and low doses of steroids. Fibrolamellar hepatocarcinoma is an infrequent histologic variety that usually affects young people and is generally not associated with hepatitis B infection or cirrhosis. It is often a single tumor, is more susceptible to surgical resection than other varieties of hepatocarcinoma, and is characterized by a relatively unagressive tumoral biology.

[Adenocarcinoma in a choledochal cyst. Report of a case and review of the literature].

We present a case of cancer of a choledochal cyst in a patient with antecedents of cholecystectomy, who complained of pain in the right hypochondrium. Echography and CAT disclosed a cystic mass of biliary location, and the diagnosis was confirmed by intraoperative cholangiography and biopsy of the cyst margin. Cysto-jejunostomy on a Roux-en-Y loop was performed. The patient survived 11 months and died of tumoral dissemination. We reviewed 130 cases of cancer of a choledochal cyst published up until 1986 and possible etiopathogenic causes, and we discuss the diagnostic problems and related treatment.
