Prognostic Value of Combined Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Imaging Tumor Capsule in Solitary Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients after Narrow-Margin Hepatectomy.

Background: The study aimed to investigate the clinical value and prognostic patterns of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and imaging tumor capsule (ITC) in solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing narrow-margin hepatectomy.

Methods: Data for solitary HCC patients treated with narrow-margin surgery were extracted from Shanghai General Hospital. Clinical features of recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and early recurrence were investigated by Cox/logistic regression.

Toxicity study of compound granules of Hedyotis diffusa: Acute toxicity and long-term toxicity.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The clinical efficacy of the hospital preparation compound granules of Hedyotis diffusa (CGHD), which is composed of Hedyotis diffusa Willd, Smilax china L., Solanum lyratum Thunb., has accumulated a good reputation over the past decades.

Unsymmetrical diarylamido-based rare-earth alkyl complexes: their synthesis and catalytic performance in isoprene polymerization.

A family of rare-earth complexes bearing diarylamido-based pincer ligands with phosphino-, phenylthio- and quinolino-sidearms have been synthesized and fully characterized. Upon activation by [PhC][B(CF)], the scandium (P-Sc and S-Sc) and yttrium complexes (P-Y and S-Y) could catalyze the polymerization of isoprene with cis-1,4 selectivity (up to 98.8%), while the lutetium analogues P-Lu and S-Lu produced trans-1,4 selective polyisoprene (up to 83.

[Carbon Source Utilization Characteristics of Soil Microbial Community for Apple Orchard with Interplanting Herbage].

As soil fertility in apple orchard with clean tillage is declined continuously, interplanting herbage in orchard, which is a new orchard management model, plays an important role in improving orchard soil conditions. By using biolog micro-plate technique, this paper studied the functional diversity of soil microbial community under four species of management model in apple orchards, including clear tillage model, interplanting white clover model, interplanting small crown flower model and interplanting cocksfoot model, and the carbon source utilization characteristics of microbial community were explored, which could provide a reference for revealing driving mechanism of ecological process of orchard soil. The results showed that the functional diversity of microbial community had a significant difference among different treatments and in the order of white clover > small crown flower > cocksfoot > clear tillage.
