Peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer is associated with rapid disease progression. Hyperthermic intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) done immediately after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) has become an important treatment for peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer patients. However, different treatment options for HIPEC exist with potential influence on survival rates and prognosis in patients, exist. These treatment options include open or closed abdomen technique, perfusion solution, number of catheters, temperature, duration, and drug regimens. This paper aims to provide more evidence on standardization of HIPEC treatment options and technologies by systematically reviewing different drug regimens and technical approaches. The study included 2 randomized controlled trials, 3 phase I/II clinical trials, 2 prospective cohort studies, and 34 retrospective cohort studies, involving 1511 patients. The most common HIPEC option is to dissolve 50-75 mg/m 2 of Cisplatin and 30-40 mg/m 2 of Mitomycin C in 3-4 L saline solution at 42-43℃. After gastrointestinal anastomosis, 2-3 catheters are used in the HIPEC system with a perfusion flow rate of 500 ml/min. The duration is 60-90 minutes. Anastomotic leakage was low in studies where HIPEC was performed after gastrointestinal anastomosis. The utilization of open HIPEC and a two-drug regimen resulted in improved overall survival rates. The future development of HIPEC aims to enhance tumor-specific therapy by optimizing various aspects, such as identifying the safest and most effective chemotherapy regimens, refining patient selection criteria, and improving perioperative care.

The liver has a complex cellular composition and a remarkable regenerative capacity. The primary cell types in the liver are two parenchymal cell populations, hepatocytes and cholangiocytes, that perform most of the functions of the liver and that are helped through interactions with non-parenchymal cell types comprising stellate cells, endothelia and various hemopoietic cell populations. The regulation of the cells in the liver is mediated by an insoluble complex of proteins and carbohydrates, the extracellular matrix, working synergistically with soluble paracrine and systemic signals. In recent years, with the rapid development of genetic sequencing technologies, research on the liver's cellular composition and its regulatory mechanisms during various conditions has been extensively explored. Meanwhile breakthroughs in strategies for cell transplantation are enabling a future in which there can be a rescue of patients with end-stage liver diseases, offering potential solutions to the chronic shortage of livers and alternatives to liver transplantation. This review will focus on the cellular mechanisms of liver homeostasis and how to select ideal sources of cells to be transplanted to achieve liver regeneration and repair. Recent advances are summarized for promoting the treatment of end-stage liver diseases by forms of cell transplantation that now include grafting strategies.

Objective:To investigate the application value of totally laparoscopic trans-abdominal-hiatal approach in the radical resection of Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of esophago-gastric junction (AEG).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 45 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ AEG who were admitted to the Affiliated Hangzhou First People′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from May 2017 to December 2020 were collected. There were 28 males and 17 females, aged from 35 to 85 years, with a median age of 64 years. All patients underwent radical resection of AEG by totally laparoscopic trans-abdominal-hiatal approach with gastrointestinal anastomosis using proximal gastrectomy with double-tract anastomosis or total gastrectomy with esophagojejunointestinal anastomosis and digestive reconstruction using transdiaphragmatic-hiatal superior overlap esophagojejunostomy. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and postoperative situations; (2) postoperative histopathological examination; (3) follow-up and survival situations. Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect survival of patients and tumor recurrence and metastasis up to March 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as Mean± SD and measure-ment data with skewed distribution were presented as M(range). Results:(1) Surgical and post-operative situations: all 45 patients underwent radical resection of AEG by totally laparoscopic transabdominal-hiatal approach successfully, including 35 cases undergoing total gastrectomy with esophagojejunointestinal anastomosis and 10 cases undergoing proximal gastrectomy with double-tract anastomosis. The total operation time, time of lower mediastinal lymph node dissection, time of superior overlap esophagojejunostomy, volume of intraoperative blood loss, time for initial out-of-bed activities, time to first flatus, time to initial liquid diet intake, time to drainage tube removal of the 45 patients were (235±32)minutes, (25±8)minutes, (45±10)minutes, (70±13)mL, (20±8)hours, (2.3±0.2)days, (2.6±0.8)days and (6.2±1.1)days, respectively. Eleven of 45 patients under-went postoperative complications and none of patient died during perioperative period. The post-operative duration of hospital stay of 45 patients was (10±3)days. (2) Postoperative histopatho-logical examination: all 45 patients had negative upper surgical margin. The length of proximal margin, tumor diameter, total number of lymph lodes harvested and number of lower mediastinal lymph nodes harvested were (2.5±0.5)cm, (2.9±0.8)cm, 35.0±4.0 and 2.4±0.8, respectively. Patholo-gical examination showed adenocarcinoma in all 45 patients with pTNM staging as 5 cases of stage ⅠB, 8 cases of stage ⅡA, 21 cases of stage ⅡB and 11 cases of stage ⅢA. (3) Follow-up and survival situations: 45 patients were followed up for 3 to 46 months, with a median follow-up time of 26 months. During follow-up, 8 of 45 patients died. Of the 37 patients survived, 3 cases underwent liver metastasis and 3 cases underwent bone metastasis, lung metastasis or peritoneal metastasis respec-tively.Conclusion:Total laparoscopic transabdominal-hiatal approach is safe and feasible in the treatment of Siewert type II AEG with a satisfactory clinical efficacy.
