Preoperative oral administration of EGCG ameliorates AKI in a CPB model of diabetic rats through antioxidative properties. This simple method could be applied in a clinical setting as a prophylactic renal protection against AKI after CPB, especially for high-risk patients with diabetes mellitus.

Allogeneic transplantation of FM-MSCs may be a potent strategy to prevent CPB-induced systemic inflammation and acute lung injury by suppressing the expression of inflammatory cytokines and promoting protective factors in the lung.

A 77-year-old woman noticed a pulsatile mass on her right lower leg 2 months previously. Computed tomography revealed the presence of a right anterior tibial artery aneurysm. We performed resection of the aneurysm surgically. Histological analysis revealed that it was a true aneurysm. After the surgery, deep peroneal nerve dysfunction occurred. For the treatment of peripheral artery aneurysms, we must try to avoid nerve complications and we must have a choice of endovascular therapy.
