Objective: To investigate the experience and some related problems of non-bleeding technique in partial hepatectomy.
Methods: 49 cases of hepatic tumors were reviewed, including 41 cases of hepatic carcinoma, 3 cases of secondary hepatic carcinoma, 4 cases of haemangioma, and 1 case of hepatic adenoma. Three kinds of bleeding control technique including normothermic complete hepatic vascular exclusion (47/49), complete vascular isolation with hypothermic perfusion (1/49), and partial extracorporeal hepatectomy (1/49) were employed.
Results: The intraoperative volume of blood loss was 1560+/-1252 ml, and operative duration was 4.7+/-0.8 h. One case died perioperatively because of severe bleeding. 31 cases of primary hepatic carcinoma were followed up, the 0.5-, 1-, and 5-year survival rates were 77% (24/31), 55% (17/31), and 36% (11/31) respectively.
Conclusions: In liver surgery concerning hepatoma in the segment of Couinaud I, IV, V or VIII, Pringle's procedure is still the major method for bleeding control. When the vena cava or/and venae hepaticae was/were implicated, normothermic complete hepatic vascular exclusion is helpful. The partial extracorporeal technique can provide a good exposure to the cava inferior, and is an alternative to the complete extracorporeal method. Intraoperative B ultrasound detection plays an important role in choosing bleeding control technique.

Sorafenib (Sora) is a first-line treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It can significantly improve the survival rate of patients with advanced HCC, but it is prone to drug resistance during treatment, so the therapeutic effect is extremely limited. Here, we demonstrate that an elevated expression of protein kinase p38γ in hepatocellular carcinoma cells diminishes the tumor cells' sensitivity to Sora.

Background: Marathon training and running have many beneficial effects on human health and physical fitness; however, they also pose risks. To date, no comprehensive review regarding both the benefits and risks of marathon running on different organ systems has been published.
Main Body: The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive review of the benefits and risks of marathon training and racing on different organ systems.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) covers a broad spectrum of profile from simple fatty liver, evolving to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), to hepatic fibrosis, further progressing to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MASLD has become a prevalent disease with 25% in average over the world. MASH is an active stage, and requires pharmacological intervention when there is necroptotic damage with fibrotic progression.

Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses treatment challenges, especially where access to multi-kinase inhibitors and ICIs is limited by high costs and lack of insurance. This study evaluates the effectiveness of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus platinum-based chemotherapy as an alternative systemic treatment for advanced HCC. A retrospective analysis of advanced HCC patients treated with 5-FU plus platinum-based chemotherapy was conducted.

Dissecting the spatial heterogeneity of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) is vital for understanding tumor biology and therapeutic design. By combining pathological image analysis with spatial proteomics, we revealed two stromal archetypes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with different biological functions and extracellular matrix compositions. Using paired single-cell RNA and epigenomic sequencing with Stereo-seq, we revealed two fibroblast subsets CAF-FAP and CAF-C7, whose spatial enrichment strongly correlated with the two stromal archetypes and opposing patient prognosis.
