Dynamic evaluation of liver fibrosis to assess hepatocellular carcinoma risk in patients with chronic hepatitis B receiving nucleoside analogs treatment.

Despite good hepatitis B virus (HBV) inhibition by nucleoside analogs (NAs), cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) still occur. This study proposed a non-invasive predictive model to assess HCC risk in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) receiving NAs treatment. Data were obtained from a hospital-based retrospective cohort registered on the Platform of Medical Data Science Academy of Chongqing Medical University, from 2013 to 2019.

LncRNA RP1-276N6.2 Expression and RP1-276N6.2 Gene Polymorphisms Contribute to the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease in Chinese Han Population.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in coronary artery disease (CAD) processes. However, the relationship between the gene polymorphisms of lncRNA RP1-276N6.2 as a novel molecule and susceptibility to CAD remains unclear.

The Role of Preoperative Computed Tomography in Nonsyndromic Craniosynostosis.

Background: There is currently no consensus on the utility of preoperative computed tomography (CT) in nonsyndromic craniosynostosis. This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the evidence available on the necessity of preoperative CT for the treatment of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis.

Methods: A comprehensive literature review of the National Library of Medicine (PubMed) database was performed.
