Laparoscopic versus open hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis: a single-center propensity score matching analysis.

Background: Laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial due to limited research. This study analyzed the oncology prognosis of patients who received LH treatment for HCC compared with conventional open hepatectomy (OH).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with cirrhosis who underwent hepatectomy for HCC between 2012 and 2018.

Potential lncRNA Biomarkers for HBV-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma Diagnosis Revealed by Analysis on Coexpression Network.

Background: Increasing evidence demonstrated that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) could affect inflammatory tumor immune microenvironment by modulating gene expression and could be used as a biomarker for HBC-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but still needs further research. The aim of the present study was to determine an lncRNA signature for the diagnosis of HBV-related HCC.

Methods: HBV-related HCC expression profiles (GSE55092, GSE19665, and GSE84402) were abstracted from the GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) data resource, and R package limma and RobustRankAggreg were employed to identify common differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Serum Homocysteine Levels and Microalbuminuria in Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Background: At present, the relationship between serum homocysteine and microalbuminuria (MAU) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of our study was to analyze the association between serum homocysteine and MAU in SLE patients.

Methods: The study analyzed 150 patients with SLE at Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities retrospectively, and we collected for clinical and laboratory data.

Long non-coding RNA F11-AS1 inhibits HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma progression by regulating NR1I3 via binding to microRNA-211-5p.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could regulate growth and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of lncRNA F11-AS1 in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC. The relation of lncRNA F11-AS1 expression in HBV-related HCC tissues to prognosis was analysed in silico.
