In addition to traditional organophosphate esters (tOPEs), emerging organophosphate esters (eOPEs) have increasingly been detected in the environment, but their risks remain unclear. This study detected 12 tOPEs and 7 eOPEs in surface water, sediment, and suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples from important aquatic habitats and drinking water sources in Yibin (YB), Yichang (YC), Shanghai (SH), and Poyang Lake (PY) within the Yangtze River basin. The total concentration of OPEs (ΣOPEs) in surface water, sediment, and SPM from these four regions were 22.

- * Machine learning models, particularly the random forest model, showed promise in predicting PAH bioaccessibility in foods, with food lipid and protein contents being critical factors influencing this bioaccessibility.
- * The study found that bioaccessibility considerations significantly lowered estimated cancer risk from PAHs in food, yet risks still exceeded safe limits; 6-nitrochrysene emerged as particularly concerning due to its high toxicity, underscoring the need for improved health risk assessment methods.
GLCV-NET: An automatic diagnosis system for advanced liver fibrosis using global-local cross view in B-mode ultrasound images.
Comput Methods Programs Biomed
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Advanced liver fibrosis is a crucial stage in chronic liver disease (CLD) assessment, influencing treatment strategies and disease progression evaluation.
- This study introduces an innovative diagnostic method called GLCV-Net, which combines global and local features from ultrasound images using three main components: a feature extractor, a local feature selector, and a fusion module.
- The model demonstrated strong predictive performance, achieving over 86% accuracy in internal validations and confirming its effectiveness on external datasets, highlighting its potential for accurate, non-invasive diagnosis of advanced liver fibrosis.

Methods: The clinicopathological data of 61 patients who underwent resection between January 2012 and December 2013 were collected. The NLR and CIP2A were divided into low score groups (0) and high score groups (1) with 2.
Laparoscopy-assisted resection of colorectal cancer with situs inversus totalis: A case report and literature review.
World J Gastrointest Endosc
September 2020
Background: Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare anomaly in which structures are located opposite to their usual positions. It is not a premalignant condition and the association with colorectal cancer (CRC) is rare. We here report a patient with SIT who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of sigmoid colon cancer, and review the pertinent literature.

Moreover, the case reports of postoperative relapse after surgery are rarely based on literature search results. Here, we report such a case spanning nearly 7 years and and review the relevant literature.

Methods: 98 cases of colon adenocarcinoma tissues from patients who underwent colon cancer resection in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from January 2013 to March 2015 comprised the experimental group, while 71 cases of colon mucosa tissues from patients who underwent colon polypectomy during the same period comprised the control group. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expressions of CD44 and MMP-9 mRNAs in the two groups, in order to analyze their correlation in colon adenocarcinomas, and to also analyze their relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.
Background: Increasing evidence has revealed a close correlation between cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) and cancer progression. CIP2A has been shown to participate in diverse biological processes, such as development, tumorigenic transformation and chemoresistance. However, the functions of CIP2A in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its underlying mechanisms of action are not yet completely understood.

- Spirulina platensis is a highly nutritious food, rich in protein (up to 70%), and has gained interest for producing bioactive peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis with pepsin.
- The study identified three specific bioactive peptides (FFEFF, EYFDALA, VTAPAASVAL) and evaluated their antioxidant activities, with EYFDALA showing the strongest effects.
- Results indicated that the synthesized peptides could serve as potential natural antioxidant sources, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage while improving enzyme activity in red blood cells.
Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are common weight loss procedures. Our meta-analysis compared these procedures for the treatment of morbid obesity and related diseases.
Methods: We systematically searched the PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library through January 2018.
Objective: To compare oncologic adequacy of resection and long-term oncologic outcomes between laparoscopic-assisted surgery (LS) and open surgery (OS) in the treatment of rectal cancer.
Methods: Literature searches of electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science,and Cochrane Library) and manual searches up to June 30, 2010 were performed to identify RCTs comparing values of oncologic adequacy of resection, recurrence and survival following LS and OS. Fixed and random effects models were used.
Background: Whether laparoscopic-assisted surgery (LS) can achieve the same oncologic outcomes compared with open surgery (OS) for rectal cancer remains controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is to compare oncologic adequacy of resection and long-term oncologic outcomes of LS with OS in the treatment of rectal cancer.
Methods: Literature searches of electronic databases (Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) and manual searches were performed to identify RCTs comparing values of oncologic adequacy of resection, recurrence, and survival following LS and OS.
