Elongation of very long-chain fatty acids protein 6 (ELOVL6) played crucial roles in regulating energy expenditure and fatty acid metabolism. Many studies have performed to investigate the physiological roles and regulatory mechanisms of in fish and animals, while few studies were reported in crustaceans. Here we reported on the molecular cloning, tissue distribution and expression profiles in response to dietary fatty acids, ambient salinity and starvation stress in by using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and quantitative real-time PCR.

The acute inflammatory response of the residual pancreas may affect the healing of pancreatoenteric anastomoses, leading to postoperative pancreatic fistulas (POPFs), abdominal infections, and even progressive systemic reactions, conditions that negatively affect patients' prognoses and can cause death. However, to the best of our knowledge, no systematic reviews or meta-analytic studies have assessed the incidence and risk factors of POAP after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).

There are still some drawbacks to the application of the immune-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors to Immunotherapy (imRECIST). How many weeks does it take to confirm the true disease progression for HCC patients who had reported disease progression for the first time based on imRECIST.
