Effect of Preoperative immune-enhancing Enteral Nutrition on the Outcomes of Laparoscopic Surgery for Colon Cancer in elderly Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: This study aims to explore the impact of immune-enhanced enteral nutrition on postoperative outcomes, focusing on inflammatory response, intestinal mucosal barrier integrity, and immune function following laparoscopic colon cancer surgery in elderly patients.

Methods: In this single-center, randomized controlled trial, ninety-six elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic resection of colon tumors were enrolled and equally divided into two groups by random allocation. The control group (n=48) received standard enteral nutrition, while the experimental group (n=46) was administered immune-enhancing enteral nutrition.

Early Diagnosis Value of DCE-MRI Hemodynamic Parameters in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Objective: To probe into the early diagnosis value of transfer coefficient ( ) and rate constant ( ) of the dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) hemodynamic parameters in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: Fifty patients with HCC diagnosed in our hospital from May 2017 to May 2020 were studied retrospectively as the patient group (PG), and 45 cases with benign liver nodules diagnosed in our hospital during the same period were collected as the control group (CG). , , and AFP levels were compared between PG and CG.

Effects of silibinin-loaded thermosensitive liposome-microbubble complex on inhibiting rabbit liver VX2 tumors in sub-hyperthermia fields.

In the present study, the effects of silibinin-loaded thermosensitive liposome-microbubble complex (STLMC) on rabbit liver VX2 tumors in sub-hyperthermia fields were investigated using two-dimensional ultrasonography (2D US), contrast-enhanced US (CEUS), hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, immunohistochemistry and ultrastructure observation. 50 rabbits with VX2 liver tumors were divided into five groups: Sub-hyperthermia microwave ablation group (SHM), STLMC injection group (STLMC), SHM ablation plus STLMC injection group (SHM + STLMC), microbubble injection group and blank control group without any treatment. Rabbits in each group were examined using 2D US and CEUS in order to evaluate the tumor volume and diameter before treatment and at day 7 and 21 after treatment.

Ligand modification of UiO-66 with an unusual visible light photocatalytic behavior for RhB degradation.

A series of isostructural UiO-66-X (X = H, NH, Br, (OH), (SH)) catalysts have been successfully synthesized by modifying different functional groups on the ligand. The effects of the ligand modification of UiO-66 were investigated for their photocatalytic activity of Rhodamine B degradation under visible light. Surprisingly, UiO-66-NH and UiO-66-(OH) which have narrow bandgaps and excellent visible light absorption do not show outstanding photocatalytic performances compared to UiO-66 and UiO-66-Br.
