Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on improving the identification of malignant bile duct strictures from benign ones by discovering new biomarkers in bile.
- - Researchers analyzed bile samples from 6 patients, leading to the identification of 20 proteins with different expression levels, with 6 biomarkers consistently up-regulated in malignant cases.
- - Ultimately, lipocalin-2 and P-cadherin, among others, showed strong potential as reliable indicators for diagnosing malignant biliary strictures, suggesting their clinical application could enhance diagnostic accuracy.
Background And Aims: The relationship between serum cholesterol level and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. We investigated the effects of serum cholesterol level on development of liver tumors in mice.
Methods: We performed studies with C57BL/6J mice, mice with disruption of the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene (Ldlrmice), and mice with conditional deletion of nature killer (NK) cells (NK mice).
Background: The current study aimed to examine the long-term survival after partial hepatectomy for patients with BCLC intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stratified by the Bolondi's sub-staging model.
Materials And Methods: This cohort consisted of 360 patients with BCLC intermediate stage HCC who underwent partial hepatectomy between January 2008 and February 2010. Patients were stratified into 3 subgroups (B1-B3) based on the Bolondi's sub-staging model.
