Introduction: Because of its high morbidity and mortality, sepsis remains the leading cause of death in the ICU. Microparticles (MP) have been largely studied as potential diagnostic or prognostic markers in various diseases including sepsis.
Objective: The biological and clinical relevance of neutrophil-derived microparticles (NDMPs) within the MP population remains unclear.
Two non-destructive instrumental methods, infrared spectroscopy (IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), were studied for quality evaluation of Lour. (). We obtained the IR spectra and XRD patterns of collected from different sources.

Methods: Between 1998 and 2009, 27 patients were diagnosed with combined HCC-CC at our hospital. Their medical records were reviewed and clinicopathological data retrospectively analyzed.
Purpose: To evaluate current selection criteria for patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) in response to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to analyze the prognostic factors for successful transplantation.
Methods: We evaluated the outcome of 1,078 consecutive patients with HCC from the Shanghai Multi-Center Collaborative LT Group who underwent LT over a 6-year period. Clinicopathologic data for these patients were evaluated.
Background: Surrogate markers may be used to assess the response to neoadjuvant treatment. The association between HER2 overexpression and favorable response to specific therapy in breast cancer is controversial, and the mechanism unclear. The purpose of the study was to evaluate HER2 and topoisomerase IIalpha (Topo IIalpha) as candidates for predicting the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.

From 1995 to 2003, caudate lobe resection was carried out for 97 cases; among them 39 were for HCC, who were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 19 cases undergoing isolated caudatectomy, and group B consisted of 20 cases undergoing caudatectomy combined with other liver resections.

- - The study reviews the diagnosis and treatment of VIPoma by analyzing clinical data from 31 patients in China, highlighting unique symptoms like backache and skin rash not previously documented.
- - Surgical resection significantly reduces high serum levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and improves symptoms; the mean VIP level dropped from 963.2 pg/ml to 131.9 pg/ml post-operation.
- - VIPoma, a rare condition, is best diagnosed through specific symptoms and high VIP levels, with surgical removal being the most effective treatment method; alternative therapies include somatostatin analogues for symptom relief.
