Background: There is no consensus regarding the relationship between HBV DNA and liver fibrosis, and the relationship between HBV DNA and the degree of liver cirrhosis has not been reported in patients with chronic HBV infection.
Methods: From January 2011 to December 2016, liver biopsies were performed on 396 patients with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis. Assessments of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis were based on the Laennec staging system.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of octreotide in preventing severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in obese patients.
Methods: A prospective multi-center partly randomized control trial was conducted in patients with mild acute pancreatitis (AP). Nonobese patients received conventional management (nonobese-C, n = 82), whereas obese patients (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m(2)) were randomized into 2 groups: obese-C (n = 79), who received conventional management, and obese-C+O (n = 82), who received conventional management plus intravenous infusion of octreotide, 50 μg/h for 72 hours.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for diagnosing esophageal cancer in Kazakh patients, comparing it to traditional pathological examination of biopsy samples.
- A total of 20 patients (15 males, 5 females) were included, with results showing that FISH displayed 100% sensitivity and specificity, while the pathology method had a sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 100%.
- The centromere of chromosome 3 was identified as a more sensitive probe for detecting malignant cells in esophageal cancer compared to chromosome 17.
