Impact of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) on postoperative outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

This study examines the relationship between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and the prognosis of patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Additionally, it explores the potential effect of RDW for the early identification of high-risk patients after surgery, advocating for timely interventions to improve outcomes. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on May 16, 2022, across PubMed (23 studies), Embase (45 studies), the Cochrane Library (1 study), and CNKI (17 studies), resulting in 6 relevant articles after screening.

[Optimal time for MRI scanning of tumors in BALB/c mice using c-erbB2 antisense probe labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles].

Objective: To determine the optimal time for MRI scanning of tumors in BALB/c mice using c-erbB2 antisense probe labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles.

Methods: SK-Br-3 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice (n= 30) were injected with antisense probe (12.0 mg Fe/kg).

[Effects of magnetic c-erbB-2 antisense probe of different concentrations on morphology and expression of SK-Br-3 cancer cell lines in vitro].

Objective: To explore the effects of the magnetic c-erbB-2 antisense probe of different concentrations on the morphology and expression of SK-Br-3 cancer cells in vitro.

Methods: Breast cancer SK-Br-3 cells were transfected for 24 h by antisense probe at an iron concentration of 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 mg/L, respectively. The distribution and content of iron particles in SK-Br-3 cells was determined by Prussian blue staining, electron microscopy, and atomic absorption spectrometry.
