Titanium-oxo cluster (TOC)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received considerable attention in recent years due to their ability to expand the application of TOCs to fields that require highly stable frameworks. Herein, a new cyclic TOC formulated as [TiO(OPr)(TTFTC)(phen)] (, where TTFTC = tetrathiafulvalene tetracarboxylate and phen = phenanthroline) was crystallographically characterized. TOC takes a rectangular ring structure with two phen-modified Ti clusters as the width and two TTFTC ligands as the length.

Repeat hepatectomy (RH) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are the mainstays for managing recurrent HCC following initial curative resection. This retrospective study aims to determine the average treatment effect of RH and RFA in patients with recurrent HCC.

- The study investigates the time-dependent effects of prognostic factors on survival in patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CLM), challenging the common assumption of proportional hazards in Cox models.
- Researchers analyzed data from 318 patients and found that the significance and impact of certain factors, such as tumor grade and tumor location, changed over time post-surgery.
- The results suggest that both primary tumor sidedness and grade have varying prognostic effects, indicating the need for more nuanced survival modeling in cancer research.
