Objective To investigate safety, feasibility, and future direction of laparoscopic splenectomy. Method The latest progress and new achievements of laparoscopic splenectomy in the world were analyzed and summarized. Results At present, the laparoscopic splenectomy mainly included the completely laparoscopic splenectomy, hand assisted laparoscopic splenectomy, gasless laparoscopic splenectomy, single hole laparoscopic splenectomy, or robot assisted laparoscopic splenectomy. The completely laparoscopic total splenectomy had become the most common surgical procedure in the clinical treatment due to the reliable curative effect, less injury, and rapid recovery, the partial splenectomy was one of the precise treatments for the benign splenic lesions. The hand assisted laparoscopic splenectomy was widely used in the giant spleen, it could reduce the exposure difficulty, effectively deal with the intraoperative hemorrhage, and reduce the risk of surgery. The robot assisted laparoscopic splenectomy was one of the minimally invasive operations, the system with three-dimensional high definition vision and flexible robotic arm overcame the limitations of traditional laparoscopic two-dimensional display, could precisely complete the operation and achieve the accurate treatment. Conclusions Laparoscopic splenectomy has some advantages of less operative injury, less pain, and rapid recovery, it’s safety and feasibility have been proved. We should strictly grasp indications and contraindications for laparoscopic splenectomy, appropriate surgical methods should be selected for specific splenic diseases to achieve the best curative effect. Remote control and precision operation will be a direction of development in future.
The article summarized the national and international history and current situation of healthcare-associated infection control, and analyzed the tendency of new technique and progress in healthcare-associated infection control according to the experience in research and practice.
ObjectiveTo summarize the relationship between Kupffer cells (KCs) and liver diseases.MethodsThe related literatures about the research progress of KCs in liver diseases in recent years were collected and analyzed.ResultsKCs were an important component of the monocyte-macrophage system. In a specific environment, activated KCs participated in a variety of inflammatory reactions, immune tolerance, and damage to hepatocytes by presenting antigens, secreting cytokines and chemokines, phagocytosis, and so on. KCs could not only be activated into M1 to promote inflammatory reaction and aggravate hepatocyte injury, but also could be activated to M2 to play an anti-inflammatory effect and improve liver injury. The role of KCs in liver diseases was very complex, but it also had potential research value.ConclusionKCs can affect the progression of liver diseases through many mechanisms and can provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases.
