Background: In this study, we aimed to determine the impact of lymphadenectomy (LND) on clinical outcomes in ICC patients aged ≥ 70 years.

Methods: Four hundred and three eligible patients diagnosed with ICC who underwent hepatectomy between 2004 and 2019 were enrolled in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The impact of LND on perioperative mortality and overall survival (OS) as well as the optimal total number of lymph nodes examined (TNLE) was estimated.

Excessive scarring is the main cause of surgical failure in glaucoma filtration surgery. S58 has been shown to have an excellent antifibrotic effect but its duration of action is not sufficient to achieve the desired antiscarring effect. In this study, a light-cured bioadhesive hydrogel composed of GelMA and oxidized dextran (ODex), namely, GelDex, was used to load S58 (GelDex-S58).

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought great challenges to the global public health system and huge economic burdens to society, the causal effect of COVID-19 and intraocular pressure was blank.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the causal association between coronavirus disease (COVID-19) susceptibility, severity and criticality and intraocular pressure (IOP) by bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Materials And Methods: Genetic associations with COVID-19 susceptibility, severity and criticality were obtained from the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative.

This study aims to report the most up-to-date information about the global disease burden of glaucoma from 1990 to 2019 and to forecast trends in the next few years. Publicly available data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 were used in this study. The prevalence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of glaucoma from 1990 to 2019 were reported.

Doxorubicin is the most effective anthracycline chemotherapy drug in the treatment of cancer, and it is an effective single agent in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). There is a lack of studies on the differentially expressed doxorubicin metabolism-related lncRNAs in NSCLC. In this study, we extracted related genes from the TCGA database and matched them with lncRNAs.

The causal effects of plasma lipid levels and the risk of retinal vascular occlusion (RVO) have not been clearly identified, especially for high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C). Here, we try to identify these causal risk factors using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were chosen as instrumental variables (IVs).

Purpose: Controversy exists with regard to the T category of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with adjacent lobe invasion (ALI), and dispute arises on assigning this subset into T2 or T3 category. We evaluated the effect of ALI on the survival of resected NSCLC ≤ 5 cm, with purpose of determining the most appropriate T category for this population.

Methods: The entire cohort was divided into three subgroups (ALI group, T2 group and T3 group).

Clinically, cancer drug therapy is still dominated by chemotherapy drugs. Although the emergence of targeted drugs has greatly improved the survival rate of patients with advanced cancer, drug resistance has always been a difficult problem in clinical cancer treatment. At the current level of medicine, most drugs cannot escape the fate of drug resistance.

Aim: To confirm whether exosome-mediated delivery of aptamer S58 (Exo-S58) has a better antifibrotic effect than naked S58 in human conjunctival fibroblasts (HConFs) and a rat glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS) model.

Methods: To enhance the effective reaction time of aptamer S58 , we loaded aptamer S58 into exosomes derived from HEK293T cells by PEI transfection to determine the effect of Exo-S58 in HConFs and a rat GFS model.

Results: Exo-S58 can significantly reduce cell proliferation, migration and fibrosis in TGF-β2-induced HConFs.

The correlation between obesity and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) has not yet been fully established. The aim of this study was to investigate the causal relationship between obesity and POAG by a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. In this study, body mass index (BMI), an index to evaluate general obesity, and waist and hip circumference, indices to evaluate abdominal obesity, were selected as exposures in MR analysis.

A high proportion of massive patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not amenable for surgical resection at initial diagnosis, owing to insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) or an inadequate surgical margin. For such patients, portal vein embolization (PVE) is an essential approach to allow liver hypertrophy and prepare for subsequent surgery. However, the conversion resection rate of PVE only is unsatisfactory because of tumor progression while awaiting liver hypertrophy.

B cells constitute abundant cellular components in inflamed human tissues, but their role in pathogenesis of inflammatory T helper (T) subsets is still unclear. Here, we demonstrate that B cells, particularly resting naïve B cells, have a previously unrecognized helper function that is involved in shaping the metabolic process and subsequent inflammatory differentiation of T-cell receptor-primed T cells. ICOS/ICOSL axis-mediated glucose incorporation and utilization were crucial for inflammatory T subset induction by B cells, and activation of mTOR was critical for T cell glycolysis in this process.

Crohn disease (CD) with complications such as penetrating, stricturing, and perianal disease is called complicated CD. The aim of this study is to test the efficiency with which the CD8CD28/CD8CD28 cell balance can predict a subsequent active stage in patients with newly diagnosed complicated CD.Seventeen patients with complicated CD and 48 CD patients with no complications were enrolled.

Background/aim: The balance of blood CD8CD28/CD8CD28 T cells has been verified to be vital for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), but their role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unknown. This investigation aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the balance in predicting the active stage in IBD patients.

Methods: Fifty-three IBD subjects, including 31 UC and 22 Crohn's disease (CD) patients, were enrolled, and their peripheral blood CD8CD28 and CD8CD28 T cell levels were tested using flow cytometry.

Objective: To observe the dynamic changes of Th17/Treg balance in patients following surgical intervention for intracranial aneurysm rupture.

Methods: The percentage of Th cells and the intracellular IL-17 level, Treg cell percentage and transforming growth factor -β1 (TGF-β1) levels were examined in 73 patients with rupture of aneurysms before and at 24 h, 72 h and 1 week after operation, with 62 patients with unruptured aneurysms and 65 healthy volunteers as the control. The correlations among the immune cells, cytokines and clinical characteristics of the patients (NIHSS, ADL and hospitalization stay) were analyzed.

Purpose: The CD8CD28/CD8CD28 T lymphocyte balance is vital for human ulcerative colitis (UC) but has not been defined in experimental colitis. This investigation will try to identify the changes that occur in the CD8CD28/CD8CD28 T lymphocyte balance during the progression of trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats.

Methods: The frequencies of blood CD8CD28 and CD8CD28 T lymphocytes were detected in the rats belonging to the normal, model, and treated groups on five days using flow cytometry.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how geographic factors affect serum creatinine (Scr) reference values in healthy adults across various regions.
  • Researchers collected nearly 30,000 Scr values from multiple medical facilities and analyzed their correlation with 23 geographic factors, identifying seven factors that significantly influenced Scr levels.
  • The findings reveal a consistent trend where Scr values tend to be higher in southern regions and lower in northern areas, suggesting that geographic data can help establish more accurate region-specific reference values for clinical use.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore how geographical factors influence the reference values of fibrinogen (FIB) in healthy Chinese adults, to help create standard measurements.
  • Researchers collected data from over 10,700 adults across 103 cities and analyzed the relationship with 18 geographical factors using a BP neural network model.
  • Findings revealed that FIB levels correlate with factors like latitude and climate, showing higher levels in southern and eastern regions of China, while a spatial distribution map was created to visualize these variations.
