ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic graft removal for pediatric living donor liver transplantation (PLDLT) reduces morbidity and surgical aggressiveness for the donor. It is important to assess whether the approach used for removal purposes compromises implantation. The objective of this study was to analyze PLDLT progression in children according to whether the graft had been removed laparoscopically or through open surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective, analytical cohort study of PLDLTs carried out in our institution from 2009 to 2020 was carried out. RESULTS: Transplantation was performed in 14 patients, with a median age of 34.5 (R: 6-187) months. In 6 donors (42%), graft removal was conducted laparoscopically. In 1 donor (7%), removal was initiated laparoscopically, but conversion was required. This patient was included within the open surgery group, which consisted of 8 (58%) donors. No differences were found in terms of operating times, ICU stay, hospital stay, complications during admission, or complications post-admission in the recipient. The surgical approach did not compromise the length of the vessels to be anastomosed in any graft, and it added no extra difficulty to implantation. No differences were found in terms of removal times or hospital stay for the donor. Only 1 donor from the laparoscopy group required re-intervention due to bleeding following port insertion. CONCLUSION: PLDLT patients had similar results regardless of the removal approach used, which did not compromise the structures of the graft to be anastomosed, or add any extra difficulty to implantation.


INTRODUCCION: La extracción laparoscópica del injerto para el trasplante hepático pediátrico de donante vivo (THPDV) es una herramienta que reduce la morbilidad y agresividad quirúrgica en el donante. Es importante estudiar si la vía de extracción compromete el implante. El objetivo del estudio es analizar la evolución del THPDV en el niño en función de si el injerto fue extraído por vía abierta o laparoscopia. MATERIAL Y METODOS: Estudio de cohortes retrospectivo y analítico de los THPDV realizados entre 2009 y 2020 en nuestro centro. RESULTADOS: Se trasplantaron 14 pacientes, con edad mediana de 34,5 (R: 6-187) meses. En 6 donantes (42%) se realizó la extracción del injerto vía laparoscópica. En un donante se inició la extracción por laparoscopia, pero fue necesaria la conversión (7%), esté se clasificó en el grupo de laparotomía, compuesta por 8 (58%) donantes. No se encontraron diferencias en el tiempo quirúrgico, en los días en la unidad de cuidados intensivos, en la estancia hospitalaria, en las complicaciones durante el ingreso ni en las complicaciones postingreso en el receptor. El abordaje quirúrgico no comprometió en ningún injerto la longitud de los vasos a anastomosar, sin suponer una dificultad en el implante. No se evidenciaron diferencias en el tiempo de extracción ni en los días de hospitalización del donante. Solo un donante del grupo de laparoscopia precisó reintervención por sangrado de la incisión de un trocar. CONCLUSION: Los pacientes con THPDV presentan resultados similares, independientemente de la vía de extracción del injerto. La vía de abordaje no comprometió las estructuras del injerto a anastomosar, ni dificultó el momento del implante.

ABSTRACT

Caso clínico: Varón de 30 años, diagnosticado de desprendimiento viteliforme adquirido (DVA) secundario a drusas cuticulares que presentaba metamorfopsias en su OD. Se trató con inyecciones intravítreas de bevacizumab (Avastin), respondiendo favorablemente. Discusión: Enfermedad independiente, de fenotipo genético aún desconocido, debida a una disfunción generalizada del epitelio pigmentario retiniano (EPR). Evoluciona en un 50% a DVA; con la ayuda de nuevas pruebas complementarias llegamos a un diagnóstico certero. Sin tratamiento efectivo hasta el momento. Dada la frecuencia con la que se desarrolla neovascularización coroidea (NVC), creemos que el tratamiento con fármacos anti-VEGF podría ayudarnos en la estabilización o mejoría funcional y/o anatómica del cuadro (AU)


Case report: We report a case of a 30-year-old male with acquired vitelliform detachment (AVD) secondary to cuticular drusen and suffering from metamorphopsia in his right eye. Intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) was administered, achieving successful results. Discussion: An independent disease, of unknown genetic phenotype, caused by a generalized dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). About 50% of patients develop AVD, and a correct diagnosis can be made with the help of new complementary tests. With no effective treatment currently available, and because of the incidence of developing choroidal neovascularization (NVC), treatment with anti-VEGF could help stabilize or improve the disease functionally and/or anatomically (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study whether two functional single nucleotide polymorphisms of the CC chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) gene could affect susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in a human immunodeficiency virus negative genetically homogeneous population, containing newly diagnosed patients with active disease. DESIGN: Seventy-six patients with active pulmonary TB (PTB) and 157 healthy control subjects from Cantabria, northern Spain, were genotyped for the CCL5 -403G/A and -28C/G polymorphisms. RESULTS: The frequency of the CCL5-403G/A and -28C/G promoter polymorphisms were significantly different between patients with active TB and control subjects. Three of the four possible haplotypes were also significantly different. The G/G-C/C diplotype was much more frequent in the healthy control group and the G/G-G/G and A/A-C/C diplotypes were more frequent in patients with PTB. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that CCL5 may play a role in conferring susceptibility to active PTB. Thus, the -403G and -28C alleles, either separately or combined in the G-C haplotype and the GG/CC diplotype, may be related to protection against PTB. By contrast, the -403A and -28G alleles, the G-G or A-C haplotypes and the G/G-G/G and A/A-C/C diplotypes may confer susceptibility to PTB.
