Thermodestruction of the metastatic cancer of the liver was used in 18 patients. A high frequency induction thermodestructor ELECTROTOM HITT ("Berhtold" Germany) with the working frequency 343 kHz and power 0-60 Wt was used. After the ablation of the main focus the thermodestruction of metastases was performed in the liver. The effects of thermodestruction were estimated by the intraoperative biopsy before and after thermodestruction. The procedure was considered effective if biopsy revealed necrobiotic tissues. A connective tissue scar was formed at the place of thermodestruction. After operation the patients were given polychemotherapy.

Associations of cathepsins with pulmonary arterial hypertension mediated by circulating metabolites: A Mendelian randomization study.

Medicine (Baltimore)

January 2025

National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Disorders, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China.

The correlation between cathepsins and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is well-established, but the causative link between them remains uncertain. This study aimed to explore the causal role of circulating metabolites mediating cathepsins in PAH using Mendelian randomization (MR). A 2-sample 2-step MR method was used to identify causal relationship between cathepsins and PAH; causal relationship between circulating metabolites and PAH; and mediated effects of these circulating metabolites.

T-helper 17 (Th17) cells significantly influence the onset and advancement of malignancies. This study endeavor focused on delineating molecular classifications and developing a prognostic signature grounded in Th17 cell differentiation-related genes (TCDRGs) using machine learning algorithms in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). A consensus clustering approach was applied to The Cancer Genome Atlas-HNSCC cohort based on TCDRGs, followed by an examination of differential gene expression using the limma package.
