Palmitoleic Acid Inhibits Hepatotoxic Effects by Reducing Trimethylamine--Oxide (TMAO) Formation in High L-Carnitine-Treated Mice.

Background/objectives: This study investigated the effects of palmitoleic acid (POA) consumption on liver function, intestinal microbiota, and trimethylamine--oxide (TMAO) levels in the serum of mice treated with 3% L-carnitine drinking water. The purpose was to highlight the impact of POA on liver injury associated with high L-carnitine intake.

Methods: A correlation analysis was carried out.

Catheter malposition analysis of totally implantable venous access port in breast cancer patients.

Background: To investigate the occurrence of catheter malposition in breast cancer patients undergoing Totally Implantable Venous Access Port (TIVAP) implantation and analyze the effect of TIVAP implantation site on the incidence of catheter malposition.

Methods: Clinical data of Breast cancer patients underwent TIVAP implantation in our department from 2017 to 2021 was collected by reviewing the electronic medical records. The catheter malposition rate, location and management of malposed catheters in TIVAP implantation were analyzed.
