Influence of handgrip strength on postoperative complications and survival in primary liver cancer patients.

Objectives: the impact of handgrip strength (HGS) on postoperative complications and long-term survival following hepatectomy in patients with primary liver cancer (PLC) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of HGS on postoperative complications and overall survival in patients with PLC.

Methods: in total, 298 patients with PLC who underwent liver resection were included in the prospective cohort study.

A sulfur dioxide detection platform based on photoacoustic spectroscopy and a 266.22 nm high-power stabilized LD-pumped solid-state Q-switched laser.

A ppb-level sulfur dioxide (SO) monitoring platform was developed by exploiting standard photoacoustic spectroscopy and a novel, highly stable UV laser. A 266.22 nm LD-pumped solid-state, acousto-optic modulator Q-switched laser with high beam quality (M =1.

Association Between Systemic Immune-Inflammatory Indices and Severity of Coronary Artery Lesions in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease in Different Glucose Metabolic States.

Background: The systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) serves as a comprehensive indication of systemic inflammation. However, the relationship between SII and the severity of coronary artery lesions in participants with coronary artery disease (CAD) in different glucose metabolic states has not been fully elucidated.

Methods: A total of 2727 patients with CAD were enrolled between January 2018 and April 2022.

Process optimizations for the synthesis of an intermediate of dydrogesterone.

Dydrogesterone (DG) is a potent progesterone drug that can be used to treat almost all progesterone-deficiency in women. However, there are few reports on DG process studies, and the by-products are unclear, which make the process optimization challenging. In this paper, we report the process optimization studies for the synthesis of 9α,10β-pregest-5,7-diene-3,20-diethylene glycol ketone (1), an intermediate of DG.

Diagnostic efficacy of nerve root sedimentation sign in post-lumbar interbody fusion patients: an imaging evaluation and modification.

Background: The sedimentation sign offers an efficient method for evaluating lumbar spinal stenosis. However, limited research exists regarding its applicability to post-operative MRI scans. This study aims to assess the viability of utilizing the nerve root sedimentation sign (NRSS) and Schizas classification (SC) in the evaluation of post-operative lumbar stenosis.
