Pancreas-guided C-shaped surgical procedure: a safer and more efficient procedure for laparoscopic left hemicolectomy in obese patients.

The surgical risk is higher for obese patients undergoing laparoscopic left hemicolectomy. To enhance the surgical safety and efficacy for obese patients, we have innovatively integrated the advantages of various surgical approaches to modify a pancreas-guided C-shaped surgical procedure. The safety and quality were assessed through a retrospective analysis.

Oleandrin inhibits osteoclast differentiation by targeting the LRP4/MAPK/NF-κB signalling pathway to treat osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a common inflammation-related disease in which the release of proinflammatory cytokines promotes bone loss. Oleandrin is a monomer compound extracted from the leaves of the Nerium oleander plant, has been shown to exert an anti-inflammatory effect on a variety of inflammation-related diseases. However, its role in osteoporosis and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Clinical significance of HER2 in urothelial carcinoma and analysis of its correlation with glycolytic metabolic characteristics.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the clinical relevance of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) in urothelial carcinoma (UC) and its association with glycolytic metabolic markers, insulin resistance, and beta-cell function, shedding light on potential therapies targeting both HER2 pathways and cancer metabolism.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis, 237 UC patients from the Departments of Urology and Pathology at Shandong Provincial Hospital were examined. From 1 January 2023, to 1 October 2024, patients underwent HER2 testing using immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Prenatal Diagnosis of Caroli's Disease by Ultrasound and MRI Imaging.

Objective: To present the imaging features of Caroli's disease (CD) on prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: This was a retrospective case series of prenatally diagnosed CD between 2017 and 2024. Clinical data from these cases were collected and reviewed.

Prevalence of osteoporosis and associated factors among Chinese adults: a systematic review and modelling study.

Background: Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease of bone metabolism. The epidemiology of osteoporosis varies by age, sex, and geography. There is a lack of information on the prevalence of osteoporosis among Chinese adults.
