Objective: Incomplete thermal ablation (ITA) fosters the malignancy of residual cells in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with unclear mechanisms now. This study aims to investigate the expression changes of NDST2 following ITA of HCC and its impact on residual cancer cells.

Methods: An model of heat stress-induced liver cancer was constructed to measure the expression of NDST2 using Quantitative Real-Time PCR and Western blotting experiments.

Purpose: To assess whether the diagnostic performance of Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasound (SZUS) is non-inferior to that of SonoVue contrast-enhanced ultrasound (SVUS) in diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in individuals with high risk.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study was conducted from October 2020 to May 2022 and included participants with a high risk of HCC who underwent SZUS and SVUS. All lesions were confirmed by clinical or pathological diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
  • A social consensus has emerged in China advocating for a balance between haze pollution and economic growth, spotlighting the significant role of high-speed rail (HSR) in achieving this goal.
  • An analysis of data from 265 cities reveals that the opening of HSR reduces the spatial mismatch between haze pollution and economic growth, particularly affecting service-oriented cities in the eastern region.
  • The study identifies spatial transfer of haze pollution and the balanced development of economic growth as key pathways through which HSR influences spatial mismatch, leading to recommendations for enhancing harmony between environmental and economic objectives.

Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the feasibility of the American College of Radiology's (ACR) contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) (version 2017) in examinations using Sonazoid and compare its diagnostic performance with that of modified LI-RADS in patients at high risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: This retrospective study's sample population consisted of 137 participants with a total of 140 nodules who underwent CEUS with Sonazoid and pathological confirmation via surgery or biopsy from January 2020 to February 2022. The lesions were evaluated and classified based on the reference standards (ie, ACR CEUS LI-RADS and modified LI-RADS).

Objective: To assess the diagnostic performance of the contrast-enhanced ultrasound liver imaging reporting and data system (CEUS LI-RADS) version 2017 for small hepatic lesions of ≤3 cm before and after changing the LR-M criteria.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the CEUS examination of 179 patients who were at high risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with focal hepatic lesions ≤3 cm (194 lesions in total) and evaluated the diagnostic capability of the American College of Radiology and modified CEUS LI-RADS algorithms.

Results: Revision of the early washout time to 45 seconds increased the sensitivity of LR-5 in predicting HCC (P = .

Purpose: To analyze the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) manifestations of combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (CHC) and to investigate the diagnostic value of the 2017 version of the CEUS Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) and serum tumor markers in CHC.

Methods: A total of 66 pathologically confirmed CHC nodules were retrospectively analyzed. We summarized the CEUS manifestations of CHC and analyzed the relationship between serum tumor markers and the enhancement pattern of CHC.

Hypertriglyceridemia is an important contributor to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and acute pancreatitis. Familial hypertriglyceridemia is often caused by mutations in genes involved in triglyceride metabolism. Here, we investigated the disease-causing gene mutations in a Chinese family with hypertriglyceridemia and assessed the functional significance .

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of varied anesthetic methods and depths on inflammatory cytokines and stress hormone levels in radical operation among colon cancer patients during perioperative period.A total of 120 patients were collected in the study and randomly divided into 4 groups, A: general anesthesia + Narcotrend D1, B: general anesthesia + Narcotrend D2, C: general anesthesia + epidural anesthesia + Narcotrend D1, D: general anesthesia + epidural anesthesia + Narcotrend D2. The levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, cortisol (Cor), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were measured adopting commercial kits before anesthesia (T0), 4 hours after surgery (T1), 24 hours after surgery (T2), and 72 hours after surgery (T3).
