Machine learning-based prognostic prediction and surgical guidance for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

The prognosis following radical surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is poor, and optimal follow-up strategies remain unclear, with ongoing debates regarding anatomic resection (AR) versus non-anatomic resection (NAR). This study included 680 patients from five hospitals, comparing a combination of eight feature screening methods and 11 machine learning algorithms to predict prognosis and construct integrated models. These models were assessed using nested cross-validation and various datasets, benchmarked against TNM stage and performance status.

Isolated traumatic gallbladder injury: A case report.

Background: Isolated gallbladder injury (GI) (IGI) directly induced by abdominal trauma is rare. Symptoms, indications, and imaging examinations of IGI are frequently non-specific, posing tremendous diagnostic challenges, which are simple to overlook and may have severe implications. Improving doctors' understanding of gallbladder injury (GI) facilitates early detection and decreases the likelihood of severe consequences, including death.

MRPL48 is a novel prognostic and predictive biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer and poses a threat to the health and survival of humans. Mitochondrial ribosomal protein L48 (MRPL48) belongs to the mitochondrial ribosomal protein family, which participates in energy production. Studies have shown that MRPL48 can predict osteosarcoma incidence and prognosis, as well as promotes colorectal cancer progression.

Impact of sarcopenia on the surgical outcomes in patients with hepatolithiasis: A multicenter 10-year experience.

Background: The impact of sarcopenia on the surgical outcomes of hepatectomy for hepatolithiasis has not been investigated. The present study elucidated the effect of sarcopenia on short-term outcomes after hemihepatectomy for hepatolithiasis and investigated the benefit of different surgical approaches to hepatectomy in patients with sarcopenia.

Methods: Patients who underwent hemihepatectomy for hepatolithiasis at Fujian Provincial Hospital and 5 other medical centers from 2010 to 2020 were enrolled.

Receptor-Interacting Protein Kinase 1 Promotes Cholangiocarcinoma Proliferation And Lymphangiogenesis Through The Activation Protein 1 Pathway.

Purpose: Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is an important upstream regulator of multiple cell signaling pathways including inflammatory signals. RIPK1 is reported to be closely associated with the prognostic implications of cancer, especially epithelial tumors. But its role in proliferation and lymphangiogenesis in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remains unclear and requires further investigation.

Adenomas of the common bile duct in familial adenomatous polyposis.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Gardner's syndrome is often accompanied by adenomas of the stomach and duodenum. We experienced a case of adenomas of the common bile duct in a 40-year-old woman with FAP presenting with acute cholangitis. Only 8 cases of adenomas or adenocarcinoma of the common bile duct have been reported in the literature in patients with FAP or Gardner's syndrome.
