To evaluate outcomes between extraperitoneal robotic single-port radical prostatectomy (epR-spRP) and extraperitoneal robotic multiport radical prostatectomy (epR-mpRP) performed with the da Vinci Si Surgical System, comparison was performed between 30 single-port (SP group) and 26 multiport (MP group) cases. Comparisons included operative time, estimated blood loss (EBL), hospital stay, peritoneal violation, pain scores, scar satisfaction, continence, and erectile function. The median operation time and EBL were not different between the two groups.

NAC [No apical meristem (NAM), Arabidopsis transcription activation factor (ATAF), Cup-shaped cotyledon (CUC)] transcription factors (TFs) play an important role in plant growth and response to various environmental stress. Drought stress is the primary factor limiting the growth and fruit quality of grapevines worldwide. However, the biological function of the NAC family members in grapevine is not clear.

: To explore a method for culturing hepatocellular carcinoma and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (HCC-TIL) and investigate the mechanism of TIL in killing tumors. : The distribution of regulatory T cells (Treg) in HCC was detected by immunohistochemistry. Conventional TIL and oligoclonal TIL were isolated by the traditional method of enzyme digestion combined with mechanical treatment for whole HCC and micro HCC tissue block culturing method.

Article Synopsis
  • Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a key tumor marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its non-specificity limits its diagnostic accuracy, while alpha-fetoprotein-L3 (AFP-L3) offers better specificity.
  • Over a study period, 318 HCC patients were observed post-surgery to analyze serum levels of AFP and AFP-L3, revealing that higher AFP-L3 ratios correlated with more aggressive cancer features.
  • The study identified three distinct post-hepatectomy patterns in AFP and AFP-L3 levels, which are linked to HCC recurrence and patient survival rates, indicating their potential use in predicting long-term outcomes.
