Abstract

Twenty-three cases of mesenteric infarction were reviewed retrospectively. Of note are high surgical mortality and frequent misdiagnosis. Patients are generally older than 60, and have severe, poorly localized pain and nonspecific physical findings. Laboratory studies of value include evidence of hemoconcentration and leukocytosis. Roentgenographic findings are equally nonspecific unless late in the course. Recommended operative procedures depend on the etiology of the infarction. Hyperalimentation may be of benefit early in the postoperative course to provide both nutrition and a chance for adaptation.

Mechanistic insights into Claudin-14 dysfunction implicated in veins of Galen malformation.

Claudin-14 (CLDN14) is a key component of tight junctions (TJs) critical for maintaining paracellular barrier function. Variants of CLDN14 have been linked to Vein of Galen malformations (VOGMs), a rare cerebrovascular disorder; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying their pathogenicity remain unknown. Here, we investigate the mechanistic effects of two VOGM-associated mutations, A113P and V143M, using reinforcement-learning driven enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations combined with DiffNets-based deep learning and independent trajectory-wide structural analyses. Our analysis reveals that A113P induces broader structural disruption of CLDN14, perturbing paracellular sealing, pore symmetry, and inter-protomer communication, whereas V143M induces structural rearrangements centred around TM3 and the TM3-ECL2 region. In both cases, mutation-specific alterations are observed in structural stability and interfacial organization across oligomeric assemblies. Notably, these effects are qualitatively consistent across different modelled architectures, despite variability in local responses. In the absence of experimentally resolved structures, the structural perturbations reported here provide a mechanistic understanding of how VOGM-associated variants may influence CLDN14 structure and dynamics.

Treatment of multiple aneurysms of the splenic artery after liver transplantation by percutaneous embolization and laparoscopic splenectomy.

A high incidence of aneurysms of the splenic artery is found in liver transplant patients. Their significance is related to the risk of rupture, particularly in the postoperative period. Classically, their management is surgical, with ligation or resection of the aneurysmal arterial segment with or without splenectomy, depending on the location of the aneurysm. Recently, laparoscopy and percutaneous embolization have appeared as alternative treatment options. We describe here the treatment of multiple aneurysms of the splenic artery in a patient who had undergone liver transplantation 10 years earlier. She was treated with percutaneous embolization of the aneurysms followed by laparoscopic splenectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of laparoscopic splenectomy following liver transplantation. It demonstrates that prior liver transplantation does not represent an absolute contraindication to minimally invasive surgery.
