Morphological changes of the liver parenchyma after embolization of the right branch of the portal vein

To determine the morphological changes of the parenchyma of the right and the left lobe of the liver after embolization of the right branch of the portal vein. Material and Methods: Embolization of the right branch of the portal vein was performed in 15 patients. All patients by CT of the abdomen future liver remnant (FLR) sizes were less than 30% (from 17 to 27%) in average - 19,78%. Before and after the procedure was performed a biopsy of the right and the left lobe of the liver, followed by assessment of morphological changes of the parenchyma. Results: The volume of the liver after portoembolizatsii on average increased by 12,5%, the volume of the left lobe of the liver increased by an average of 41,7%. Expected hypertrophy of the left lobe of the liver is not obtained in one patient (6,66%). In the remaining 14 patients (93,3%) the size of the left lobe of the liver, and increased by more than 30%. Radical surgical treatment performed 9 (60%) patients. Study of histological changes after hepatic parenchyma portoembolization showed that hypertrophy of the contralateral lobe of the liver, occurs due to hypertrophy of the existing and the emergence of new, functionally active hepatocytes. The use of embolization of the right branch of the portal vein in most cases allows for vicarious hypertrophy of the left lobe of the liver due to hypertrophy of the existing and the emergence of new, functionally active hepatocytes.</jats:p

Durable Surfaces from Film-Forming Silver Assemblies for Long-Term Zero Bacterial Adhesion without Toxicity

The long-term prevention of biofilm formation on the surface of indwelling medical devices remains a challenge. Silver has been reutilized in recent years for combating biofilm formation due to its indisputable bactericidal potency; however, the toxicity, low stability, and short-term activity of the current silver coatings have limited their use. Here, we report the development of silver-based film-forming antibacterial engineered (SAFE) assemblies for the generation of durable lubricous antibiofilm surface long-term activity without silver toxicity that was applicable to diverse materials via a highly scalable dip/spray/solution-skinning process. The SAFE coating was obtained through a large-scale screening, resulting in effective incorporation of silver nanoparticles (∼10 nm) into a stable nonsticky coating with high surface hierarchy and coverage, which guaranteed sustained silver release. The lead coating showed zero bacterial adhesion over a 1 month experiment in the presence of a high load of diverse bacteria, including difficult-to-kill and stone-forming strains. The SAFE coating showed high biocompatibility and excellent antibiofilm activity in vivo
