Efficiency of laparoscopic retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy for treating infected pancreatic necrosis with duodenal fistula: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

Background: Open surgical debridement was the main treatment option for infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN). However, it was associated with significant trauma, leading to a higher mortality rate. With the development of minimally invasive surgery, the step-up treatment principle centered around minimally invasive intervention, significantly reducing the incidence of complications and mortality rates among IPN patients.

Circulating MicroRNA Panel as a Diagnostic Marker for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Background: Current diagnostic markers for hepatocellular carcinoma are compromised and limited by their low sensitivity and speci- ficity. In this study, circulating microRNAs were utilized as a diagnostic tool to segregate hepatocellular carcinoma patients from healthy subjects.

Methods: We analyzed 2 public datasets for differences in plasma microRNA expression profiles of hepatocellular carcinoma patients and healthy controls to identify biomarkers related to hepatocellular carcinoma.

Expression of Tspan8 in Patients with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma and Its Relationship with Clinicopathological Features and Prognosis.

The incidence and mortality of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) are increasing worldwide. High invasion and metastasis are one of the main causes of death in patients. The selection of reasonable and effective molecular markers to evaluate the prognosis of patients with ICC has important clinical guiding significance.

Triptolide Alleviates Podocyte Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition via Kindlin-2 and EMT-Related TGF-β/Smad Signaling Pathway in Diabetic Kidney Disease.

Diabetes-induced chronic kidney diseases are widespread and decrease the quality of life for millions of affected individuals in China. To date, no therapies effectively alleviate these conditions. Triptolide, a traditionally used Chinese medicine, has shown promise in treating renal diseases.

Migration of Hem-o-lok clip into the common hepatic duct after laparoscopic bile duct exploration: A case report.

Hem-o-lok clip migration into the bile duct can lead to stone formation and granulation tissue hyperplasia. This report discusses a case wherein four clips migrated into the bile duct after laparoscopic bile duct exploration.

Hidden blood loss and the influencing factors after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Background: A small amount of bleeding usually occurs during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), but the occurrence of perioperative hidden blood loss (HBL) is ignored. So our objective is to investigate the amount of HBL and find out the influential factors in LC.

Methods: From January 2017 to May 2019, 139 patients scheduled for LC were enrolled in the study.
