A rare case of choledochal cyst with pancreas divisum
Adrian Ransom-Rodriguez,Ruben Blachman-Braun,Emilio Sanchez-Garcia Ramos,Jesus Varela-Prieto,Erick Rosas-Lezama,Miguel Angel Mercado 한국간담췌외과학회 2017 Annals of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery Vol.21 No.1
Choledochal cysts are rare congenital malformations of the bile duct characterized by dilatations of the intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic portion of the biliary tree, they are associated to an anomalous arrangement of the pancreaticobiliary duct. Pancreas divisum results from a fusion failure of the pancreatic buds. The coexistence of pancreas divisum and choledochal cyst in adults has been reported in less than 10 well documented cases. This article presents a case of a 42-year-old Peruvian man with intermittent episodes of abdominal pain, initially diagnosed with choledocholithiasis, who underwent open cholecystectomy. During surgery, a diagnosis of choledochal cyst and pancreas divisum was made, and therefore a hepaticoduodenostomy was performed. The patient was referred to our hospital due to persistence of abdominal pain. After admission, a papillectomy was achieved without further complications. A cyst resection and dismantling of hepaticoduodenostomy with Roux-en-Y was performed 8 years later. During the subsequent 18-month follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic.
Advanced Paternal Age and Sperm DNA Fragmentation: A Systematic Review

Purpose: Male ageing is often associated with defective sperm DNA remodeling mechanisms that result in poorly packaged chromatin and a decreased ability to repair DNA strand breaks. However, the impact of advanced paternal age on DNA fragmentation remains inconclusive. The aim of the present systematic review was to investigate the impact of advancing paternal age (APA) on DNA fragmentation. Materials and Methods: We conducted a thorough search of listed publications in Scopus, PubMed, and EMBASE, in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Results: We identified 3,120 articles, of which nineteen were selected for qualitative analysis, resulting in a sample of 40,668 men. Of the 19 articles evaluating the impact of APA on DFI% (DNA fragmentation Index) included, 4 were on Normozoospermic and subfertile men, 3 on normozoospermic, Oligoasthenoteratozoospermic and Teratozoospermic, 6 on fertile and infertile men, 4 on just infertile men, and 2 evaluated a general population. Seventeen of the ninrnteen studies demonstrated APA’s effect and impact on DFI%. Conclusions: Although there was no universal definition for APA, the present review suggests that older age is associated with increased DFI. In elderly men with normal semen parameters, further studies should be performed to assess the clinical implications of DFI, as a conventional semen analysis can often fail to detect an etiology for infertility.
Vitamin D and its effects on cardiovascular diseases: a comprehensive review

Vitamin D is a molecule that is actively involved in multiple metabolic pathways. It is mostly known for its implications related to calcium metabolism. It has also been determined that it actively participates in the cardiovascular system, influencing blood pressure, coronary artery disease and other vascular diseases, such as heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, it has been established that this vitamin is extensively involved in the regulation of both the renin angiotensin aldosterone system and the immune system. In this review, we present the different vitamin D metabolic pathways associated with the cardiovascular pathophysiology, and we include studies in animal and human models, as well as some of the controversies found in the literature. This review also incorporates an overview of the implications in the molecular biology and public health fields.
