Structural identification and combination mechanism of iron (II)-chelating Atlantic salmon ( L.) skin active peptides.

In order to utilize salmon skin for high value, and investigate the structural identification and combination mechanism of iron (II)-chelating peptides systemically, Atlantic salmon () skin, a by-product of Atlantic salmon processing, was treated by two-step enzymatic hydrolysis to obtain salmon skin active peptides (SSAP). Then they reacted with iron (II) to obtain iron (II)-chelating salmon skin active peptides (SSAP-Fe) with a high iron (II) chelating ability of 98.84%.

Effect of the preoperative prognostic nutritional index on the long-term prognosis in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Background: The preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an indicator of systemic immune-nutritional condition and is a well-known prognostic biomarker in cancer patients. This study aims to reflect the correlation between the preoperative PNI and prognosis in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).

Methods: Medical records of patients with BRPC after PD between Jan 2011 and Dec 2021 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.

Browsing makes you feel less bad: An ecological momentary assessment of passive Qzone use and young women's negative emotions.

Passively browsing other's content on social networking sites (SNS) is popular among young females. It remains unclear how passive use relates to female's negative emotions, and especially whether short-term associations are confined by individual differences. This study used ecological momentary assessment over the course of one week to examine the associations between passive use of SNS and negative emotions, and investigated whether individual differences (i.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells mediate the tolerogenic effect of CD8regulatory T cells in a rat tolerant liver transplantation model.

Background: Tolerance is more easily induced in liver transplant models than in other organs; CD8CD45RCregulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to induce tolerance in heart allografts. Whether CD8CD45RCTregs could induce tolerance in a liver transplant model and how dendritic cells (DCs) mediate the CD8CD45RCTregs effect remains to be investigated.

Methods: A rat liver transplantation model was established and used to test tolerance and acute rejection compared to control groups.

Prognostic Value of Preoperative NLR and Vascular Reconstructive Technology in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer of Portal System Invasion: A Real World Study.

The purpose was aimed to establish a simple computational model to predict tumor prognosis by combining neutrophil to lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and biomarkers of oncological characteristics in patients undergoing vascular reconstructive radical resection of PDAC. The enrolled patients was divided into high or low NLR group with the cutoff value determined by the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. Different vascular anastomoses were selected according to the Chaoyang classification of PDAC.

Rapamycin treated tol-dendritic cells derived from BM-MSCs reversed graft rejection in a rat liver transplantation model by inducing CD8CD45RCTreg.

Objective: To investigate the influence of tolerance dendritic cells (tolDCs), generated from Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) treated with rapamycin (Rapa) on liver allograft survival in a rat acute liver transplantation model.

Methods: Different GM-CSF induction project was used to obtain immature DCs (imDCs), mature DCs (matDCs) or tolDCs from BM-MSCs. First, MLR was performed to analyze the activity of tolDCs on polyclonaly stimulated total T cells.

In-hospital mortality of liver transplantation and risk factors: a single-center experience.

Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is a life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure. However, in-hospital death cannot be avoided. We designed this study to analyze patients' in-hospital mortality rate after LT and the factors correlated with in-hospital death.

Reduction of FoxP3 Tregs by an immunosuppressive protocol of rapamycin plus Thymalfasin and Huaier extract predicts positive survival benefits in a rat model of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Investigate immunoregulation and anti-tumor immunity of FoxP3Tregs after treatment with rapamycin (RAPA/SRL) plus thymalfasin (Zadaxin) and Huaier extract (PS-T) in a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rat model simulating HCC relapse after liver transplant (LT).

Methods: We successfully established a rat model simulating HCC relapse after LT using an optimized chemical induction method with TACROLIMUS, methylprednisolone, and diethylnitrosamine as identified by visible liver nodules and hematoxylin-eosin staining. The model rats were then treated with RAPA, Zadaxin, and PS-T.

Breviscapine ameliorates CCl4‑induced liver injury in mice through inhibiting inflammatory apoptotic response and ROS generation.

Acute liver injury is characterized by fibrosis, inflammation and apoptosis, leading to liver failure, cirrhosis or cancer and affecting the clinical outcome in the long term. However, no effective therapeutic strategy is currently available. Breviscapine, a mixture of flavonoid glycosides, has been reported to have multiple biological functions.

Analysis of prognostic factors for pancreatic head cancer according to para-aortic lymph node.

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between prognosis of pancreatic head cancer and status of para-aortic lymph node (PALN). A total of 233 patients with pancreatic head cancer who underwent surgical resection between February 2008 and October 2015 were enrolled in this study. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to reveal the prognostic factors.

Resection of portal and/or superior mesenteric vein and reconstruction by using allogeneic vein for pT3 pancreatic cancer.

Background And Aim: There is still controversy on the outcomes of portal vein (PV) and/or superior mesenteric vein (SMV) resection in pancreatic cancer, and there are few reports about pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with PV/SMV resection and reconstruction by using allogeneic vein. This study is to explore the outcomes of PD with PV/SMV resection and reconstruction by using allogeneic vein for pT3 pancreatic cancer with venous invasion.

Methods: Clinicopathological data of patients underwent PD with en bloc resection of PV/SMV and reconstruction by using internal iliac from August 20, 2013 to July 25, 2015 were collected and the data of patients with pT3 stage pancreatic head cancer with PV/SMV invasion were analyzed.
