Summary: Osteoporosis is a severe epiphenomenon that follows liver transplantation (LT). There is an inconsistency regarding risk factors of developing osteoporosis in LT children. In this article, we address the frequency of low bone mineral density (BMD) in LT children.
Variations of anterior and posterior division of internal iliac artery: A systematic review and clinical implications

Summary: The distribution pattern of internal iliac artery (IIA) implies its bifurcation to two branches, the anterior and the posterior trunks. According to previous research, IIA indicates several anatomical variations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the types of these variations. The presence of these variations in the arteries is an important topic to urologists, gynecologists, radiologists, and general surgeons because they can be ruptured during surgical procedures in the perineal and pelvis region. Three databases were searched for the period from 1810 to January 2018 and a total of 75 studies were investigated. This study evaluated the branching of the internal iliac artery in several literatures and compared it with Adachi's classification. This finding can lead to improve surgical technique and safety in medical practice.

Summary: Pazopanib is a new tyrosine kinase inhibitor which acts as anti-VEGF signaling and antiangiogenesis. In some countries, this drug has been approved for the treatment of advanced, or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. Nevertheless, the efficacy of Pazopanib has not yet been proven in patients with advanced liposarcoma. We reported a rare case of advanced liposarcoma that after several courses of chemotherapy, the disease was relapsed, and CT-scan results showed lung metastasis. Therapeutic measures, including surgery and chemotherapy with pazopanib, were successful in destroying the metastatic mass in the patient's lung. Our finding provides a new therapeutic approach for pleomorphic liposarcoma.

Summary: Feeding habits and environmental factors may rival genetic susceptibility as etiological factors related to various cancers. Humans are continuously exposed to many synthetic food additives, one of which is sodium nitrite (NaNO2). There is a direct correlation between increases in consumption of nitrite-treated products and incidence of tissue damage, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity and some types of cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the protective effects of Trigonella foenum-graecum (TFG) on NaNO2-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.
Comparison of the efficacy of using paclitaxel-eluting balloon and plain balloon angioplasty for arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients
by Rai
A.,
Sobhiyeh
M.
Summary: Arteriovanous (AV) access failure is one of the main problems in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), who receive hemodialysis. Balloon angioplasty is a favorable method for managing vascular access failure. The purpose of this study was to compare the six-month efficacy of paclitaxel-eluting balloon and plain balloon angioplasty in failed AV access cases among hemodialysis patients.
Lack of association between 4 key TNF-alpha promoter polymorphisms and hepatitis C virus infection in a population of Egyptian patients
by Ghoneim
A.
Summary: With 170 million chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) cases worldwide, HCV is considered a major life-threatening pathogen. HCV is a crucial causative of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is thought to be a mediator in the development of viral hepatitis. Because HCV is epidemic in Egypt, this study aimed to characterize the distribution of TNF-alpha gene promoter polymorphisms and their relation to TNF-alpha expression in HCV patients.

Summary: Glycans are carbohydrate components of glycoconjugates, which interact with their receptors; for example, galectins and C-type lectins. The specificity to their receptors makes them the ideal biomarkers that they can be used as a therapeutic target or as a screening tool. We collected and reviewed articles from different databases, which show that glycans play a significant role in several body functions, such as stimulation of the immune system, and can be used in the differentiation among cancer types. They also help in nervous system repair, regeneration, regulation and proliferation. Furthermore, several pathogens like Schistosoma, HIV, Influenza, Candida, and Ebola produce glycoproteins to aid in the invasion via attachment to surface glycoproteins and defend themselves against the host's immune system.

Summary: Three percent of people worldwide are infected with Hepatitis C virus (HCV). A few studies have been performed to evaluate the biochemical markers of the disease. In the current study, biochemical markers were evaluated in HCV patients and the control group.
The subpopulation of CD105 negative mesenchymal stem cells show strong immunomodulation capacity compared to CD105 positive mesenchymal stem cells
by Pham

Summary: Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the most popular stem cells applied in disease treatment. MSCs can be isolated and in vitro expanded from various sources such as bone marrow, peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood, umbilical cord tissue, and adipose tissue. According to Dominici et al. (2006), MSCs should express CD105, an essential marker used to confirm MSCs. However, some recent studies have show that MSCs contained a subpopulation that is negative for CD105. This study aimed to compare the immune modulation capacity of 2 populations of CD105 positive (CD105+) and negative (CD105-) MSCs derived from 2 sources: human adipose tissue (AT) and human umbilical cord (UC).
