Effect of Psychological Capital of Volunteers on Volunteering Behavior: The Chained Mediation Role of Perceived Social Support and Volunteer Motivation.

This study explored the role of perceived social support and voluntary motivation in the effect of psychological capital of volunteers on volunteering behavior. A sample of 1,165 volunteers who were registered in the China Voluntary Service Information System was investigated using a self-reported questionnaire, showing that the psychological capital, perceived social support, voluntary motivation, and volunteering behavior of the volunteers were significantly and positively related to each other. The psychological capital of the volunteers affected volunteering behavior not only directly, but also indirectly through the mediating role of voluntary motivation.

Immunoglobulin superfamily member 10 is a novel prognostic biomarker for breast cancer.

Background: Immunoglobulin superfamily member 10 (IGSF10) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is expressed at high levels in both the gallbladder and ovary. Currently, the role and possible mechanism of IGSF10 in breast cancer remain unclear.

Method: By applying real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), the expression of IGSF10 in breast cancer cells and tissues was detected.

The Influence of Volunteers' Psychological Capital: Mediating Role of Organizational Commitment, and Joint Moderating Effect of Role Identification and Perceived Social Support.

This study explores the relationship between volunteers' psychological capital and their commitment to volunteering. We tested whether volunteers' psychological capital had a positive predictive effect on volunteering and whether this effect was mediated by organizational commitment, role identification, or perceived social support. A sample of 1165 volunteers who were registered in the national volunteer service information system of China were recruited in the study.

Laparoscopic hepatectomy versus radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

To compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) with that of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We conducted a literature search without a language restriction to identify relevant available articles that had been published with the EMBASE and PubMed databases and the Cochrane Library. Studies comparing the outcomes of LH versus RFA for HCC were eligible for inclusion.

Increasing negative lymph node count is independently associated with improved long-term survival in resectable perihilar cholangiocarcinomas.

To evaluate the prognostic value of numbers of negative lymph nodes (NLNs) for patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinomas.The surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database was used to screen for patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinomas. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were used for statistical evaluations.

A four-miRNA signature as a novel biomarker for predicting survival in endometrial cancer.

Background: The microRNAs (miRNAs) have been validated as prognostic markers in many cancers. The aim of this study was to identify new miRNA prognostic biomarkers in endometrial cancer (EC) and to develop an expression-based miRNA signature to provide survival risk prediction for EC patients.

Methods: From TCGA database, the miRNA datasets of EC and clinical information were downloaded in April 2018.

Comparison of endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation with and without a prior endoscopic sphincterotomy for the treatment of patients with large and/or multiple common bile duct stones: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To compare endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) alone with EPLBD following endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) in patients with large and/or multiple common bile duct stones.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library database to identify relevant available articles until July 19, 2018. Complete common bile duct stone (CBDS) removal rate, frequency of mechanical lithotripsy (ML) usage, total procedure time and intra- and postoperative adverse events were analyzed.

Transradial vs transfemoral access in patients with hepatic malignancy and undergoing hepatic interventions: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare transradial access (TRA) approach with transfemoral access (TFA) approach in patients undergoing hepatic interventions.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library database to identify relevant available articles. Patients' preference, success rate, intra- and postoperative outcomes were analyzed.

Efficacy and safety of TAS-102 in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis.

Background: TAS-102 has been applied to metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients who had received at least two prior regimens of standard chemotherapy. This meta-analysis is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of TAS-102 in patients with mCRC.

Methods: We searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) through PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane clinical trial databases and clinicaltrial.

Prognostic value of retrieved lymph node counts in patients with node-negative perihilar cholangiocarcinomas.

Background: This study aimed to find out the prognostic value and optimal cut-off value of retrieved lymph node (LN) counts in patients with node-negative perihilar cholangiocarcinomas.

Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was used to screen out patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. The cut-off number of retrieved LNs was determined by the X-tile programme.

Triplet Chemotherapy (FOLFOXIRI) Plus Bevacizumab Versus Doublet Chemotherapy (FOLFOX/FOLFIRI) Plus Bevacizumab in Conversion Therapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: a Meta-Analysis.

Background/aims: Conversion therapy can convert unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) into resectable. However, the optimal conversion regimen was not yet defined. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the triplet chemotherapy (FOLFOXIRI) plus bevacizumab (Bev) with doublet chemotherapy (FOLFOX/FOLFIRI) plus Bev in conversion therapy.

Comparison of Metal and Plastic Stents for Preoperative Biliary Drainage in Resectable and Borderline Resectable Periampullary Cancer: A Meta-Analysis and System Review.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the plastic stents with metal stents for preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in terms of the rate of endoscopic reintervention and PBD-related pre- and postoperative complications in patients with resectable and borderline resectable periampullary cancer.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library database to identify relevant available articles from their inception to September 2017. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated to compare the incidence of endoscopic reintervention and stent-related complications between the plastic and metal stents groups.

Bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy for ovarian cancer: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: This meta-analysis was updated with results from a new trial and final data to reassess the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy in ovarian cancer (OC).

Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane clinical trials, Web of Science and clinicaltrial.gov databases.
