Abstract
The gastro-intestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal tumours that occur mostly in the stomach. The treatment is usually a limited resection, which is performed by an endoscopy or by a surgical approach. In case of metastasis of the disease proven found during the assessment, the treatment is usually limited to chemotherapy without a radical cure. We report a case of a large (9 cm) subcardial GIST that we treated by laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy due to the size and the location of the tumour. The laparoscopic resection is shown to be superior in perioperative outcomes compared to open surgery even for large lesions. In unfavourable locations such as in cardia lesions, transgastric, partial or extended gastric resections must be evaluated to avoid functional sequelae and post-operative morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although colon cancer has a decreasing incidence trend in Europe, because of its still high frequency and not fully understood pathogenesis, this malignancy still remains a subject of intense research. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of microRNA-194 and microRNA-1228 in colon cancer proliferation. METHODS RNA was extracted from patients with colon cancer with or without advanced disease and microRNA expression levels were determined through qRT-PCR. Assays were performed on HCT116 cell line and included qRT-PCR, western blotting and cell counting. RESULTS We observed that both microRNAs 194 and 1228 were altered in patients with colon cancer compared with healthy individuals. We observed a lower expression of both microRNA-194 and microRNA-1228 in patients with advanced colon cancer. To validate their pathogenetic role we performed viability and invasion assays on HCT116 cell line transfected with mimics or inhibitors of the mentioned microRNAs, with observable changes in viability and invasion. Furthermore, to determine the altered signaling induced by these microRNAs, we performed western blotting for phospho S6 on HCT116 cells transfected with mimic and inhibitor of the above-mentioned microRNAs with observable differences. CONCLUSION In the current study we have shown that both microRNA-194 and microRNA-1228 alteration was correlated with the presence of advanced colon cancer, a fact that was further validated in vitro through an invasion assay. Moreover, we have also shown that their effect might be mediated through phospho S6 expression.

Abstract
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a common inherited hemolytic anemia caused by a defective erythrocyte cellular membrane. Irrespective of type of surgery performed, several case reports comparing the two type of procedures, have not proven any significant difference between serum bilirubin, serum hemoglobin, red blood cells' and platelets' count, in the followup period at 6 and 12 months respectively, even if platelet count has maintained high for the first 6 months postoperatively, justifying an oral antiplatelet therapy for this time interval. In the present work, we present the use of LS as the treatment of choice for HS as a case series, with all the characteristics. KEY WORDS Hereditary Spherocytosis, Laparoscopic Splenectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency), B (factor IX deficiency) and C (factor XI deficiency) are common genetic bleeding disorders. Most often they are caused by the absence or defective function of coagulation factors, causing inefficient blood clots. CASE REPORT The present manuscript describes a rare case of a combined haemophilia A and B patient, who underwent several extractions. The therapy and clinical management is presented, in the view of surgeon as well as haematologist. CONCLUSION These patients are a serious challenge for the oral surgeons due to an increased number of accidents and complications. Scarce literature covering this topic contributes, as well, to the difficult management. Thus, several principles must be considered when diagnosing and treating haemophilia patients. KEY WORDS Haemophilia, Oral surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Worldwide, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in men and second in women. The aim of the current study was to identify whether the miR-375 is indeed down-regulated in metastatic CRC and if it could be considered as a potential minimally invasive prognostic biomarker for CRC. METHODS Exosomes were isolated and characterized from patients with liver metastasis from CCR. The characterization of exosome was performed using TEM/SEM. HCT116 cells were treated with miR-375 mimic, NSM and miR-375 inhibitor. Functional assays included cell counting assay for 14 days, Matrigel invasion assay, apoptosis assay by flow cytometry using Annexin V-FITC, RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS Increased proliferation potential was proven for the cells transfected with miR-375 inhibitor, while the miR-375 mimic decreased the cell number. The cells transfected with the miR-375 inhibitor are aggressive and cross the membrane; 3.84% of the cells transfected with the miR-375 inhibitor entered apoptosis, while 6.45% of those transfected with the non-specific mimic were in programmed cell death, less than those transfected with the microRNA. RT-PCR for Bcl-2 expression showed that Bcl-2 is down-regulated for miR-375 inhibitor and up-regulated for the miR-375 mimic, a result confirmed by Western blotting. CONCLUSION The present study brings to the forefront new data that suggest miR-375 as a new player in controlling the pathways responsible for inhibiting the natural history of CRC tumor cells, via the Bcl-2 pathway.
