Background: Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is an innovative surgical approach for the treatment of massive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the key to successful planned stage 2 ALPPS is future liver remnant (FLR) volume growth, but the exact mechanism has not been elucidated. The correlation between regulatory T cells (Tregs) and postoperative FLR regeneration has not been reported.
Aim: To investigate the effect of CD4CD25 Tregs on FLR regeneration after ALPPS.
Background: Pulmonary nocardiosis is difficult to diagnose by culture and other conventional testing, and is often associated with lethal disseminated infections. This difficulty poses a great challenge to the timeliness and accuracy of clinical detection, especially in susceptible immunosuppressed individuals. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has transformed the conventional diagnosis pattern by providing a rapid and precise method to assess all microorganisms in a sample.

We aimed to investigate geographical differences in the semen quality of sperm donors from northern and southern China by enrolling donors across the country.
Methods: A total of 1,012 sperm donors were enrolled in this study between 2015 and 2019.
Background: The role of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in the growth and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has attracted widespread attention.
Aim: To evaluate the feasibility of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) for massive HCC by exploring the role of TIL in the tumor microenvironment.
Methods: Fifteen massive HCC patients who underwent ALPPS treatment and 46 who underwent hemi-hepatectomy were selected for this study.
