Influence of sarcopenia on postoperative complications and long-term survival in pancreatic cancer patients undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Background: Sarcopenia has the potential to impact the postoperative results and extended prognosis of various types of tumors. Nevertheless, the specific impact of sarcopenia on the postoperative results and long-term survival of pancreatic cancer (PC) following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains inadequately elucidated. This study investigates the significance of sarcopenia according to various Asian standards on postoperative complications and long-term prognosis in PC patients who have undergone PD.

A cuproptosis-related lncRNA signature to predict prognosis and immune microenvironment of colon adenocarcinoma.

Cuproptosis is a novel cell death modality but its regulatory role in the colon cancer remains obscure. This study is committed to establishing a cuproptosis-related lncRNA (CRL) signature to forecast the prognosis for colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) samples were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts.

Interlaminar Shear Characteristics of Typical Polyurethane Mixture Pavement.

Polyurethane (PU) can be used as a road material binder, and its mechanical properties, durability, temperature stability, and other road performance metrics are good. However, the interlayer bonding between PU mixtures and asphalt mixtures is poor. The influence of the pavement structure, interlayer treatment scheme, load, and environmental factors on the interlayer shear characteristics of PU mixture composite pavement is analysed.

Comprehensive Analysis of the Correlation Between Pyroptosis-Related LncRNAs and Tumor Microenvironment, Prognosis, and Immune Infiltration in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Accumulating evidence shows that pyroptosis plays a crucial role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the relationship between pyroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and HCC tumor characteristics remains enigmatic. We aimed to explore the predictive effect of pyroptosis-related lncRNAs (PRLs) in the prognosis of HCC.

The Systemic Inflammation-Based Prognostic Score Predicts Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Background: Although many studies have confirmed the correlation between inflammation-based or nutritional markers and postoperative complications in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery, their correlation after undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains unclear.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of patients who underwent PD in Beijing Friendship hospital between 2018 and 2020. Univariate analysis, multivariate analysis, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were performed.
