Selenium-Enriched Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ZZU 8-12 Regulates Intestinal Microbiota and Inhibits Acute Liver Injury.

Intake of certain Lactiplantibacillus strains was recognized as a potential strategy for acute liver injury (ALI) prevention. This study is aimed at developing a selenium-enriched Lactiplantibacillus strain-based ALI prevention strategy. L.

The youngest infant with COVID-19-associated necrotizing encephalitis in Asia: A case report.

Acute necrotic encephalopathy in children is a very rare complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and has rarely been reported worldwide. A 45-day-old girl was admitted to our hospital with fever and listlessness. A nose swab tested positive for the novel coronavirus nucleic acid, and her cerebrospinal fluid was positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Efficacy of Adjuvant Transarterial Chemoembolization Combined Antiviral Therapy for HBV-Related HCC with MVI after Hepatic Resection: A Multicenter Study.

Background: Efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined antiviral therapy (AVT) on long-term outcome in hepatitis B virus-related HCC with microvascular invasion (MVI) after hepatic resection is unclear.

Methods: A multicenter retrospective study was conducted. All patients were divided into four groups according to postoperative adjuvant therapy (control group, AVT group, TACE group, and combined group).

High expression of microRNA-1266 in hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with poor prognosis of patients and biological cell growth.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a cancer with a poor prognosis and a low survival rate. Previous studies have found that microRNA-1266 (miR-1266) is associated with tumorigenesis and progression of several types of cancer, such as breast cancer and gastric cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of miR-1266 on the clinical prognosis and biological behavior of HCC.

A flexible assay strategy for non-glucose targets based on sulfhydryl-terminated liposomes combined with personal glucometer.

The personal glucose meter (PGM) is one of the most successful point-of-care (POC) testing devices. It is simple, robust and inexpensive, but cannot be easily adapted to analytes other than glucose. We report a novel chemical conjugation-based assay strategy, using rational design of chemically-derivatized glucose-encapsulating liposomes, to repurpose a PGM, taking an important mycotoxin patulin as the model analyte.

[Effect of early continuous blood purification on the prognosis of children with septic shock: a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial].

Objective: To study the effect of early continuous blood purification (CBP) on the prognosis of children with septic shock.

Methods: A prospective analysis was performed for the children with septic shock who did not reach the 6-hour initial recovery target and/or had a fluid overload of >10%. According to the treatment time of CBP, they were divided into an early group with 30 children and a conventional group with 28 children.

Safety and feasibility of laparoscopy technology in right hemihepatectomy.

Laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) has been accepted widely owing to its advantages as a minimally invasive surgery; however, laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy (LRH) has rarely been reported. We aimed to compare the benefits and drawbacks of LRH and open approaches. Between January 2014 and October 2017, 85 patients with tumor and hepatolithiasis who underwent LRH (n = 30) and open right hemihepatectomy (ORH) (n = 55) were enrolled in this study.
