Detection of the intraoperative bile leakage in laparoscopic cholecystectomy using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging: A case report.

Herein, we report two cases of successful application of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging for detecting intraoperative bile leakage during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Bile leakage was detected rapidly and accurately using fluorescence guidance. Based on our findings, we recommend using ICG fluorescence imaging during LC because it is effective and feasible for detecting intraoperative bile leakage.

Effect of Serum Ferritin on the Prognosis of Patients with Sepsis: Data from the MIMIC-IV Database.

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of serum ferritin in critically ill patients with sepsis by using the MIMIC-IV database.

Methods: Data were extracted from the MIMIC-IV database. Adult patients who met the sepsis-3 criteria and had the test of ferritin were included.

Partial hepatectomy vs. transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for multiple hepatocellular carcinomas of BCLC-B stage: A meta-analysis of high-quality studies.

Background/aim: The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) recommends that transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) are indicated in patients with multiple hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) of BCLC-B stage. However, partial hepatectomy (PH) has increasely performed in these patients. The purpose of this meta-analyses is to illustrate the comparative survival benefits of PH and TACE for patients with multiple HCCs of BCLC-B stage.

A propensity score-matching analysis of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker exposure on in-hospital mortality in patients with acute respiratory failure.

Study Objective: To explore the impact of pre-hospital ACEI and ARB exposure on the prognosis of ARF patients.

Design: A single-center retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III (MIMIC-III) database.

Lignin Biopolymer for the Synthesis of Iron Nanoparticles and the Composite Applied for the Removal of Methylene Blue.

In the current study, lignin, an abundant natural polymer, was dissolved in ethylene glycol and acidic HO to form nanoscale lignin. Then, zero-valent iron (ZVI) nanoparticles were synthesized in nanoscale lignin, producing a nZVI/n-lignin composite, via the borohydride reduction method. The use of nZVI/n-lignin for environmental remediation was tested by the removal of methylene blue in aqueous solutions at room temperature.

Implantation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells into Small Intestinal Submucosa Improves Bile Duct Injury in Rabbits.

Background: Bile duct injury (BDI), which may occur during cholecystectomy procedures and living-donor liver transplantation, leads to life-altering complications and significantly increased mortality and morbidity. Tissue engineering, as an emerging method, has shown great potential to treat BDI. Here, we aimed to explore the application of small intestinal submucosa (SIS) matrix composites with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to treat BDI in a rabbit model.

Risk Factors for and Clinical Outcomes of Carbapenem-Resistant Nosocomial Infections: A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Hospital in Beijing, China.

Purpose: Carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) infections have been increasingly reported worldwide. We aimed to identify the risk factors for nosocomial CRKP infections and assess the clinical outcomes.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a case-control study with data collected from January 2016 to December 2018 in China.

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas presenting with ascites misdiagnosed as pancreatic tuberculosis: a case report and literature review.

Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a rare pancreatic tumor that mainly affects young women. It is a low-grade malignant neoplasm, with an excellent prognosis after surgical treatment. We report herein a case of SPN presenting with ascites that was misdiagnosed as pancreatic tuberculosis (TB).

TNM stages and prognostic features of colorectal mucinous adenocarcinomas: a meta analysis.

Aim: The significance of the mucinous adenocarcinoma in TNM staging and prognosis for colorectal tumor patients is still controversial. The aim was to provide a meta-analysis for TNM staging and prognostic features of colorectal tumors.

Methods: 30 individual case-control studies were finally included into this meta-analysis, involving a total of 444,489 cancer cases and 45,050 mucinous adenocarcinomas, of relations with TNM staging and prognostic features.

[Kinetic analysis of laccase catalyze phenolic and aniline compounds and detecting catechol in wastewater].

Phenolic or aniline compounds were important pollutants in the industrial wastewaters to seriously polluted water environment. This research developed a detecting method of phenolic and aniline compounds based on the kinetic parameters of the substrates of laccase. Catalytic reaction between laccase and phenolic and aniline compounds was characterized using spectrophotometic method, which resulted 0-10 mg/L substrate reaction rate and calibration curve of substrate concentration and reaction rate.

[Prokaryotic expression of HPV 16L1 and optimization of expression conditions].

Objective: To construct the HPV16 L1 prokaryotic expression plasmid and to optimize its expression.

Methods: A pair of primers was designed according to plasmid sequences of pGEX-KG and the HPV16L1 genes published by GeneBank. The DNA fragment of 1500 bp was amplified by PCR from the HPV recombinant plasmid with HPV16L1 gene, then cloned into pGEX-KG and transformed into the host E.
