Abstract
Over the past several years, the greener fabrication of metal oxide nanoparticles has attracted significant attention due to their simplicity, eco-friendliness, availability, and nontoxicity. This paper focused on the fabrication of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) using the leaf extract of Ziziphus spina-christi L. and evaluating its potential biological activities. The characterization of synthesized NiO-NPs was confirmed using ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, protoscolicidal, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities and hemocompatibility of NiO-NPs were investigated. The findings revealed that the NiO-NPs were crystalline on nanoscale between 50- and 90-nm particle sizes. The NiO-NPs showed high scolicidal activity against Echinococcus granulosus. The viability of the treated protoscoleces exponentially decreased with an increase in the concentration of NiO-NPs. The NiO-NPs exhibited effective antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. NiO-NPs also possess a H2O2 scavenging activity in a dose-dependent manner. This study revealed that the Z. spina-christi L. leaf extract is an effective reducing and capping agent for the production of NiO-NPs; it showed critical biological properties. Moreover, NiO-NPs have a potent antioxidant activity and low toxicity on the erythrocytes and appear hemocompatible.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Hydatid disease (HD) remains a significant public health issue causing morbidity and mortality in many Mediterranean countries. Material and Methods: The present cohort study included 50 consecutive patients with liver hydatid disease who underwent surgery in a tertiary University Hospital. A total of 18 patients (36%) had a case of complicated HD, including simple communication of the cyst with the biliary tree (6 cases), rupture of the cyst into the biliary tree (6 cases), presence of a bronco-biliary fistula (2 cases), rupture of the cyst in the peritoneal cavity (2 cases), and rupture of the cyst and formation of a hepatic abscess (2 cases). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was pre-operatively performed on six patients. Results: The main clinical symptom presented was right upper quadrant pain in 16 patients (88%), which was associated with high fever (>39 °C) in 14 patients (78%). C-reactive protein (CRP) was the primary indicator of a complicated HD (p = 0.003); however, it was only elevated in 67% of cases. CRP was a more sensitive indicator of a rupture in the biliary tree cyst (p = 0.02). Computer tomography (CT) detected more cases (44%) of a complicated HD than ultrasonography (US) (25%); however, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions: For prevention and control of HD, a high suspicion of the disease leading to early referral to specialized centers, mainly in endemic areas, is required. Prior to surgical or percutaneous intervention, a combination of imaging and laboratory findings are essential in diagnosing a complicated case and avoiding unnecessary interventions.

Abstract
Liver transplantation is the final treatment option for end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure, although availability of donor organs is a major limitation. The large gap between the growing list of patients awaiting liver transplantation and the scarcity of donor organs has fueled efforts to maximize the existing donor pool and identify new avenues. We treated a 13-year-old boy who had acute liver failure, due to Wilson's disease, with transplantation of a liver from a deceased liver donor with a calcified hydatid cyst. After 3 years of follow-up, liver function tests remained normal, hydatid cyst serology was negative, and no hydatid cyst or other problems were observed.

Abstract
Recent investigations have shown that different conditions such as diet, the overuse of antibiotics or the colonization of pathogenic microorganisms can alter the population status of the intestinal microbiota. This modification can produce a change from homeostasis to a condition known as imbalance or dysbiosis; however, the role-played by dysbiosis and the development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has been poorly understood. It was actually not until a few years ago that studies started to develop regarding the role that dendritic cells (DC) of intestinal mucosa play in the sensing of the gut microbiota population. The latest studies have focused on describing the DC modulation, specifically on tolerance response involving T regulatory cells or on the inflammatory response involving reactive oxygen species and tissue damage. Furthermore, the latest studies have also focused on the protective and restorative effect of the population of the gut microbiota given by probiotic therapy, targeting IBD and other intestinal pathologies. In the present work, the authors propose and summarize a recently studied complex axis of interaction between the population of the gut microbiota, the sensing of the DC and its modulation towards tolerance and inflammation, the development of IBD and the protective and restorative effect of probiotics on other intestinal pathologies.

Abstract
Background Single-stage surgery for multiple-site hydatid cysts especially for the lung and liver is a less performed approach. Objective The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility of this approach in terms of outcome. Methods We studied 42 patients with multiple-site hydatid cysts over a period of 36 months admitted or referred to the department of CTVS of a tertiary-level hospital of Eastern India. Results Maximum numbers of cases were found in the age group of 11-20 years comprising 35.71% of the patient population with a female preponderance (18 versus 24). Chest pain was the commonest presenting feature (66.66%) followed by cough (52.38%), haemoptysis and dyspnoea 33.33% respectively. Eosinophilia was observed in four patients (9.52%). Twenty-two patients had simultaneous occurrence of pulmonary and hepatic hydatid disease (52.38%). Fourteen patients had only pulmonary involvement (33.33%). Chest wall (including the parietal pleura) was involved in six patients (14.28%). 23.03% patients presented with complicated cysts in the form of rupture into the pleura (19.35%) or the peritoneum (9.68%). Eighteen patients (42.86%) were operated via posterolateral thoracotomy and 18 (42.86%) were operated via thoracotomy with phrenotomy. Twenty-four patients (57.14%) underwent cyst excision by Barrett's technique. 59.09% patients underwent cystostomy for hepatic hydatids and five underwent omental packing (22.72%). Prolonged air leak was the commonest complication (35.71%). The mean operative time for thoracotomy was 136.87 min (~ 140 min) and 145 min for thoracotomy with phrenotomy. Only five patients (11.9%) required a prolonged intensive -treatment unit (ITU) stay of > 2 days and four had prolonged hospital stay > 15 days (1 of bronchopleural fistula, 1 of anaphylactic shock and 1 of bilateral lung cyst excision with postoperative lobar collapse). Conclusion Single-stage surgery is a viable option for multiple- and multi-site hydatids.

Abstract
After gas chromatography and mass spectrometry of prepared methanolic extract of Allium sativum, 40 laboratory BALB/c mice were infected intraperitoneally by injection of 1,500 viable protoscoleces. Five months after infection, the infected mice were allocated into four treatment groups, including 1- Albendazole (100 mg/kg); 2- Allium sativum methanolic extract (10 mL/L); 3- A. sativum methanolic extract (10 mL/L) + Albendazole (50 mg /kg); and 4- untreated control group. After 30 days of daily treatment, total number and weight of cysts and size of the largest cyst as well as blood serum bilirubin and liver enzymes were compared between the mice of different groups.The total number and weight of cysts and size of the largest cyst were significantly lower in treated groups A. sativum 10 mL/L + Albendazole 50 and Albendazole 100 in comparison to those of the control group (p < 0.05).The activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzyme and bilirubin concentration were significantly lower in the mice treated with A. sativum 10 mL/L and A. sativum 10 mL/L + Albendazole 50, when compared to the control group. In addition, bilirubin concentration revealed significant decrease in A. sativum 10 mL/L and A. sativum 10 mL/L + Albendazole 50 groups, when compared to the Albendazole group. In conclusion, administration of A. sativum 10 mL/L improved the anti-hydatidosis activity of Albendazole 50 mg /kg, due to parasitological effects similar to Albendazole 100 mg /kg but less hepatotoxic effects.

Abstract
Introduction: Most centres offer laparoscopic treatment for liver hydatid cyst (LHC). There have been concerns about the management of intra-peritoneal spillage, bleeding, and cystobiliary communication (CBC) during laparoscopic surgery for LHC. CBC can exist in 13%–37% of cases of LHC. No randomised studies have compared open versus laparoscopic approach for the treatment of LHC. We specifically analysed the outcomes of laparoscopic treatment of LHC with special reference to associated biliary complications. Patients and Methods: We analysed our prospectively collected data of patients undergoing laparoscopic treatment of LHC from 2009 to 2016. Patients undergoing open surgery or interventional radiology procedures were not included. Data analysed included demographic profile, investigational parameters, intra-operative findings and postoperative results with special reference to biliary complications and presence/management of CBC. Results: A total of 41 patients underwent laparoscopic treatment of LHC. History of jaundice was present in 5 (12.2%) patients. CBC was documented in 16 (39.02%) patients. In 11 patients, CBC was detected intra-operatively as visible communication, which was suture ligated or clipped. Five patients had occult CBC, detected as bile leak in the post-operative period. The leak resolved spontaneously in 7 patients and with biliary stenting in 2 patients. Only one patient had a persistent biliary leak. Postoperative bile leak was more common in patients with raised alkaline phosphatase. No statistically significant association was seen with size or location of the cyst, number of cysts and World Health Organisation classification. Conclusion: Laparoscopic treatment of LHC with associated CBC provides acceptable results.

Abstract
Hepatic injury is the major limitation of long-term albendazole administration in patients with cystic echinococcosis (CE), which could give rise to cessation of treatment. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the protective effects of Zataria multiflora aromatic water (AW) against the hepatic injury induced by long-term albendazole treatment in mice with CE. Fifty healthy BALB/c female mice were infected intraperitoneally by injection of 1500 protoscoleces per animal. Five months after infection, the infected animals were divided into five treatment groups including Z. multiflora (40ml/l in drinking water for 90days), albendazole (200mg/kg/day for 90days), Z. multiflora+albendazole 200 (40ml/l Z. multiflora and 200mg/kg/day albendazole for 90days), Z. multiflora+albendazole100 (40ml/l Z. multiflora and 100mg/kg/day albendazole for 90days), and untreated (control) group. At the end of the treatment period, anesthesia was performed and blood samples were collected directly from the heart prior to euthanasia. Liver variables and oxidative stress markers were measured in the blood serum samples. A decrease in serum liver enzyme activity in the both Z. multiflora+albendazole groups was observed when compared to control, Z. multiflora and albendazole groups; however, the results for Z. multiflora+albendazole 100 were significant (p<0.007) and superior compared to those for Z. multiflora+albendazole 200. No significant differences for oxidative stress markers were observed between the different groups. The results of the present study revealed that a combined therapy with Z. multiflora AW and albendazole is effective against hepatic injury induced by CE and/or long term albendazole administration in mice with cystic echinococcosis.

Abstract
Background Hydatid liver disease (HLD) is a significant health problem, especially in endemic areas worldwide. Percutaneous treatment is an effective alternative therapeutic option. Purpose To present the clinical and radiological results of percutaneous treatment of HLD in 190 patients. Material and Methods Percutaneous treatment of HLD between April 2005 and March 2015 was analyzed retrospectively. The demographic data, numbers and types of cysts, initial and final volumes of the cysts, types of percutaneous treatment, and procedure-related complications were determined. Results A total of 190 patients (95 male patients and 95 female patients; age range, 5-82 years) with 283 liver hydatid cysts who underwent percutaneous treatment were included in the study. Of the 283 cysts, 234 (83%) were cystic echinococcosis CE1, 31 (11%) were CE3a, and 18 (6%) were CE2 cysts, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. The percutaneous procedure was successful in all patients. A total of 12 (6.3%) major complications, including anaphylaxis, allergic skin reaction, perihepatic hemorrhage, and cavity infection, were seen. No mortality was noted. Recurrence in one patient and an additional cyst in one patient were seen. All patients were asymptomatic during the follow-up period. Mean volume reduction was 77.5%, with a mean follow-up period of 18 months. Conclusion Percutaneous treatment is an effective and safe method for the treatment of HLD. It should be regarded as a first-line treatment method for uncomplicated hydatid cysts.

Abstract
Background and objective: Surgery was considered for years the standard treatment for all stages of liver hydatid cysts (LHC). Percutaneous treatment has becomes a fast, reliable and more efficient method in selected cases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of percutaneous treatment of LHC on the basis of our department long-term results.
Patients and Methods: This study includes all patients who benefited from percutaneous treatment for LHC from December 1998 to April 2012. Puncture aspiration, injection, and re-aspiration (PAIR) were used for hydatid cysts smaller than 6 cm. Larger cysts, infected cysts and those with biliary fistula were treated by puncture associated to drainage (PA-PD). Absolute alcohol was used as sclerosing agent. Reduction of the size of the cyst more than 50%, pseudo-tumour echo pattern and disappearance of the cyst at the follow-up were retained as criteria of treatment efficacy.
Results: Two hundred thirty patients (136 female and 94 male; mean age: 35 years old) with 278 LHC underwent percutaneous treatment. Mean initial cyst diameter was 76.8 mm [20-180 mm]. According to Gharbi's classification, types I and II LHC accounted for 74% and 25% respectively. Fourteen patients (6%) presented with an infected cavity and 27 patients (12%) had a biliary fistula at diagnosis (12%). PA-PD was initially performedin 23 patients. No mortality, abdominal dissemination, or tract seeding occurred. Minor complications like urticaria, cutaneous rash and fever were reported in 24 patients (10%). One case of anaphylactic shock was reported with good evolution. Mean hospitalization time was 3 days ± 1.5 for uncomplicated cases and 16.5 days± 4.2 for complicated cases. 229 out of 230 patients were cured, whereas one recurrence has been reported.
Conclusion: Percutaneous treatmentis efficient and safe and offers complete cure in selected patients with the advantage of short hospitalization.

Abstract
A review was carried out in Medline, LILACS and the Cochrane Library. Our database search strategy included the following terms: “hydatid cyst”, “liver”, “management”, “meta-analysis” and “randomized controlled trial”. No language limits were used in the literature search. The latest electronic search date was the 7th of January 2014. Inclusion and exclusion criteria: all relevant studies on the assessment of therapeutic methods for hydatid cysts of the liver were considered for analysis. Information from editorials, letters to publishers, low quality review articles and studies done on animals were excluded from analysis. Additionally, well-structured abstracts from relevant articles were selected and accepted for analysis. Standardized forms were designed for data extraction; two investigators entered the data on patient demographics, methodology, recurrence of HC, mean cyst size and number of cysts per group. Four hundred and fourteen articles were identified using the previously described search strategy. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria detailed above, 57 articles were selected for final analysis: one meta-analysis, 9 randomized clinical trials, 5 non-randomized comparative prospective studies, 7 non-comparative prospective studies, and 34 retrospective studies (12 comparative and 22 non-comparative). Our results indicate that antihelminthic treatment alone is not the ideal treatment for liver hydatid cysts. More studies in the literature support the effectiveness of radical treatment compared with conservative treatment. Conservative surgery with omentoplasty is effective in preventing postoperative complications. A laparoscopic approach is safe in some situations. Percutaneous drainage with albendazole therapy is a safe and effective alternative treatment for hydatid cysts of the liver. Radical surgery with pre- and post-operative administration of albendazole is the best treatment option for liver hydatid cysts due to low recurrence and complication rates.
