Liver resection for colorectal metastases

Introduction: Liver surgery is a relatively recent and relatively major complex surgery, due to the anatomical and histological specialty of the liver Objective of the research: To evaluate the results of the cases of liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma from November 2010 until the end of April 2017.The study included 11 patients with 63,4% of females and average age of 55,4 years. The primary tumor was located in the rectum at 36.4%. in 4 cases (36.4%) was the livermetastases as a synchron with the main tumor while the metachron metastases was in 63.6% of cases. The single metastases was found at 72.7% while the multiple metastases accounted for 27.3%. The transfusion diameter was less than 5 cm in 5 cases and 45.4% and it was larger or equal to 5 cm in 54.6% of all the cases. The liver resection for Hepatocellular lesions were performed concurrently with primary tumor resection in the colon in only one case and the metastases was a single and 9.1% of the cases. The most common surgical procedure was segment resection in 45.4% of all the cases. The left or right hemi hepatectomy was in two cases, 8.7% None of the patients had any complications which requiring a reoperation. Bleeding occurred in one case such as the Bilioma in one case and Biliary fistula occurred in two cases.

Non traumatic Liver resection

Introduction: Liver surgery is a relatively recent and relatively major complex surgery, due to the anatomical and histological specialty of the liver. Objective of the research: To evaluate the results of the cases of non traumatic liver resection from November 2010 until the end of June 2017 The study included 23 patients with 61% of females and average age of 46.8 years. 30.43% of the cases were benign lesions, while malignant lesions constituted 65.12% of all patients. The highest percentage of lesions was of colorectal tumors with 66.66% of all metastatic patients and 43.47% of all patients. Whereas hepatocellular carcinoma HCC were only in 4.35% of all patients The most common surgical procedure was segment resection. The left or right hemi hepatectomy was in two cases, 8.7% None of the patients had any complications which requiring a reoperation. Biliary fistula occurred in two cases, one of which was administered conservatively, the other requiring ERCP.

Effects of healthy behaviors on liver function among hepatitis C patients

Hepatitis C is affected by human behaviors especially drugs , diets ,activities smoking , sexy behaviors and alcohol , so it is very important to change health behaviors by patient to control of disease and avoid complications . Objective : to assess the effects of health behaviors on liver function among hepatitis C patients .Setting :The study was carried out in the Chronic Liver Hepatitis Center in Alwatany hospitalization in Lattakia province.Subjects::Thesample comprised 40 patients chosen randomly from the two genders who have hepatitis C out in the chronic liver hepatitis center in Alwatany hospitalization in Lattakia province during the research time. Tool :Data were collected using the following tools:Tool I Questionnaire: It was developed by the researcher and include items related to: demographic patients data , clinical data , questions about ( patients , information of disease , risk factors, healthy behaviors : (diet – treatment regimens – activities and habits)) Tool II : Liver function assessment sheet by using Child Pugh scale.Tool III :Patientcompliance check list which include questions about complianceGuidenceProshor.guide line has been developed by the researcherThe patients participated in 3 sessions .Each session (45minutes).Results: liver function were advanced of patient at the experimental group which applied the guide line more than patient at the control group because of Appling guide line .Recommendations : Chronic Liver Hepatitis Centers have been containing proshorsshow the impact of these health behaviors on the liver work and performing their functions as normal.

Study of the protective and therapeutic effects of the Ecballium Elaterium ʺfruit juiceʺ on experimental infection with Eimeria Stiedae in Domestic Rabbits

A study was conducted to investigate the protective and therapeutic effects of Ecballium elaterium juice against experimental infection with Eimeria stiedae in rabbits. Thirty- two rabbits were divided into four groups (eight rabbits in each group) : healthy control group (HC); challenged – Ecballium elaterium –protected group (CEEP) which received a daily dose of (45) μl\kg body weight Ecballium elaterium juice intra-peritoneal for five days before challenged with E. stiedae ; challenged – Ecballium elaterium –treated group (CEET) which received a daily dose of (45)μl\kg body weight Ecballium elaterium juice intra-peritoneal for five days after challenged with of E .stiedae and infected group (IC).The challenge dose was 40000 sporulated E. stiedae oocyst per rabbits.

Determination of Lead and Cadmium in meats, livers and kidneys of sheep Exposed in the local markets of Lattakia

The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of lead and cadmium in the meat, liver and kidney of sheep exposed in the local markets of the city of Latakia, and to compare the results with those reported by other countries and with the maximum acceptable levels for human consumption, Lead and cadmium were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The mean concentrations of lead in meat, liver and kidney were 0.043, 0.284 and 0.118 mg/kg fresh weights, respectively, while mean concentrations of cadmium were 0.017, 0.173 and 0.252 mg/kg fresh weights, respectively. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in lead and cadmium concentrations between liver and kidney and in meat.

Measuring Levels of Osteopontin in a Sample of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy and the leading cause of death worldwide, due to late detection and high recurrence rates. Osteopontin (OPN) has various functions, including prevention of apoptosis and modulation of angiogenesis which lead to tumor formation and progression, although the exact mechanisms for the development of cancer are still unknown.

Complications of ESWL (The Kidney and The Ureter)

Purpose: We evaluated the safety of ESWL (Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy). Materials and Methods: A total of 300 patients with stones located in the kidney or the upper ureter were randomly divided into 3 groups, group A—100 who received ESWL and they do not use anticoagulation drugs and thy do not have problems with kidneys, liver or pancreas B—100 who received ESWL and they use anticoagulation drugs C—100 who received ESWL and they have one kidney. Radiologic and laboratory follow up were performed in the first week by:US –UREA-CR-ALT-AST-AMILAS. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi square test and Anova test. Results: The hematomas rate was 10.5%.Rates elevation of urea and cr was (27%, 5%). Rate elevation of alt–ast was 12%, and for amylase was 6%, without clear pathology. Conclusions: ESWL is an easy, noninvasive, safe and active management of the urinary stones, and we should be care full with some factors, which can increase its complications and decrease its activity.

A comparison between liver pate mixtures manufactured from local raw materials and determine the best mixture

The aim of this investigation was to compare between liver pate mixtures manufactured from local raw materials and determine the best mixture. Twelve pate mixtures with three types of livers (sheep, chicken, calf) and different concentrations of water and fat were prepared and analyzed for microbial counts (aerobic, anaerobic, yeast, mold, Staphylococcus spp, Salmonella spp, Listeria, mono- cytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Clostridium spp, E.coli O157:H7 ،Campylobacter spp), emulsion stability and sensory evaluation to determine the acceptability of the pate mixtures. Microbiologically, most of raw materials which used to prepare the pate mixtures were going with Syrians Standard (No. 2179, 2007), The mixtures were free of the aerobic microbial counts after the completion of the sterilization process. Sheep fat was better than vegetable oil for processing liver pate mixtures. According to sensory evaluation and emulsion stability, the mixture No12 containing 10 % of three types of liver, 30% sheep fat and 20% water was the best.
