Comparison of the Value of Multiple Preoperative Objective Nutritional Indices for the Evaluation of Prognosis after Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

To investigate the impact of preoperative objective nutritional indices on the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent radical hepatectomy and to compare their predictive value for prognosis. The clinical data of 661 patients were retrospectively reviewed to analyze the risk factors associated with prognosis; explore the role of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), nutritional risk index (NRI), and control nutritional status (CONUT) in HCC prognosis; and compare their predictive value. Several independent risk factors for overall survival (OS) were identified, including neutrophil count, prealbumin level, microvascular invasion (MVI), Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage, and PNI.

GNG4 Promotes Tumor Progression in Colorectal Cancer.

Colorectal cancer is a common digestive system tumor, which lacks effective therapeutic targets and biomarkers to accurately determine the prognosis. Sequencing data, immunohistochemistry, and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to explore GNG4 clinical significance in colorectal cancer. And, through in vitro experiments, the effects of GNG4 on cell behaviors were investigated.

[The application of laparoscopy in biliary reconstruction and rehabilitation after transection injury of biliary duct].

Objective: To discuss the feasibility of biliary reconstruction and rehabilitation after transection injury of biliary duct by laparoscopy.

Methods: The clinical data of 24 cases receiving biliary reconstruction after transection injury of biliary duct by laparoscopy were analyzed retrospectively from August 2002 to April 2008, including operation indications, contraindications, related operation skills and so on. In these 24 cases, the reasons of transection of biliary duct as followed: 15 cases were pancreaticoduodenectomy, 6 cases were resection of the choledochal cyst, 1 case was resection of high cholangiocarcinoma, 1 case was cholecystectomy and 1 case was resection of gastric cancer.

[Analysis of the effect of laparoscopic hepatectomy on 61 cases of primary liver cancer].

Objective: To explore the feasibility and the effect of laparoscopic hepatectomy for primary liver cancer(PLC).

Methods: A retrospective study on 61 cases of laparoscopic hepatectomy for PLC was made between November 2002 and June 2007, among which there were 49 male and 12 female, aged from 14 to 71 years. All patients were diagnosed as PLC by type-B ultrasonic, CT or MRI, and APF.

[Laparoscope hepatectomy for hepatic hemangioma: a report of 18 cases].

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and practicality of laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatic hemangioma.

Methods: Candidate for laparoscopic liver resection were 18 cases of hepatic hemangioma from January 2002 to October 2006. The portal bloods stream was blocked by the laparoscope portal blood blocker.
