Renal replacement therapy is the definitive treatment for end stage renal disease apart from transplant. Steal syndrome, which can lead to distal limb ischemia, a rare but serious complication in patients who undergo hemodialysis with an arteriovenous fistula. We present case of 48-year-old female limited options dialysis access presented symptoms steal syndrome. Given need keep her current fis...

DNA-templated silver nanoclusters are promising biological fluorescence probes due to their useful fluorescence properties, including tunability of emission wavelength through DNA template sequence variations. Ag K-edge EXAFS analysis of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters has been used to obtain insight into silver nanocluster bonding, size, and structural correlations to fluorescence. The resul...

OBJECTIVES To determine the feasibility of using a simple procedure, a bilateral tubal ligation, as a transition procedure when adopting robotic laparoscopy for gynecologic surgery. METHOD To obtain robotic credentialing and gain experience with the robotic system, the surgeons first went through robotic training, then 4 women desiring permanent sterilization had robotically assisted laparosc...

We studied the relation between [K+], and the electrophysiologic changes during a "Harris two-stage ligation," which is an occlusion of a coronary artery, preceded by a 30-minute period of 50% reduction of flow through the artery. This two-stage ligation has been reported to be antiarrhythmic. Local direct current electrograms and [K'], signals from up to 48 intramural sites were simultaneously...

Introduction: Operation of appendix is very common abdominal surgery that is done by general surgeons. Some surgeon prefer to invaginate the appendix stump while others don’t. Aim of the study was to compare the technique of ligation and invagination of the appendix stump with simple ligation of the appendix stump during appendicectomy for acute appendicitis. Methods: A prospective comparative ...

we report a case of multiple myeloma that presented with anorexia, fatigue, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, bone marrow plasmacytosis of more than 30%, polyuria,and low urine specific gravity. this unusual presentation was diagnosed as nephrogenic diabetes insipidus secondary to a proximal tubular dysfunction. the tubular functional disturbance appeared to be related to the presence of lam...

End-to-end (ETE) and side-to-end (STE) anastomosis are two common configurations of lymphaticovenous (LVA); however, it remains inconclusive which method is better. A 62-year-old man with lower extremity lymphedema underwent LVA the STE on ankle. When lymphatic vessel was cut for additional at proximal leg, blood drained out from end a vessel, suggested venous-lymphatic reflux Because continued...

We report a simplified procedure for the chemical ligation of peptides by using the sulfamylbutyryl linker as a mildly activating group capable of participating in ligation. When the peptidyl N-methylsulfonamide is directly added with excess thiols to ligation reactions, the speed of reaction is comparable to native chemical ligation.

We made partial urethral ligation in female Wistar rats to evaluate the morphological change and the reversibility of the major pelvic ganglion (MPG) neurons before and after partial urethral ligation. Thirty rats were divided into 4 groups; normal control group (N = 3), ligation group (N = 9), release of ligation group (N = 9), and sham-operated group (N = 9). WGA-HRP (horseradish peroxidase w...
