Objective: To analyze operative and perioperative factors associated with hepatectomy in hepatolithiasis.

Methods: 245 consecutive hepatolithiasis patients undergoing hepatectomy from January 1986 to December 2005 at Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital were investigated retrospectively according to medical documentation.

Results: Hepatolithiasis accounted for 29.6% (245/827) in all benign liver diseases treated with hepatectomy during this time period. There were 88 cases in male and 157 cases in female, the average age was (46.9 +/- 11.3) years. Cases of right liver resection and hepatic segments resection were much more than that in 1963 - 1985. Blood transfusion during operation was given in 45.3% of cases. Complication incidence was 16.3%, with infection 3.3% and bile leakage 2.4%. Length of stay after operation was (15.7 +/- 9.2) days. Perioperative mortality rate was 0.4% (1/245).

Conclusions: Individualized hepatectomy is the important surgical treatment of hepatolithiasis. Hepatectomy can be performed safely with low mortality and low complication incidence, provided that it is carried out with optimized perioperative management and innovative surgical technique.

The Zika virus (ZIKV), an arbovirus within the Flavivirus genus, is associated with severe neurological complications, including Guillain-Barré syndrome in affected individuals and microcephaly in infants born to infected mothers. With no approved vaccines or antiviral treatments available, there is an urgent need for effective therapeutic options. This study aimed to identify new natural compounds with inhibitory potential against the NS2B-NS3 protease (PDB ID: 5LC0), an essential enzyme in viral replication.

Previous observational studies have suggested at a potential link between migraine, particularly migraine with aura, and the susceptibility to early-onset ischemic stroke. We aimed to investigate the causal effects of genetically determined migraine and its subtypes on the risk of early-onset ischemic stroke using the two-sample Mendelian randomization method. Genetic instrumental variables associated with migraine and its subtypes were acquired from two sources with the largest sample sizes available.

High Incidence of syphilis seroconversion among people living with HIV in Hainan, south China.

Sci Rep

December 2024

School of Public Health, Heinz Mehlhorn Academician Workstation, Hainan Medical University, Haikou, 571199, Hainan, China.

Globally, people living with HIV (PLHIV) are at a high risk of syphilis transmission, and Hainan Province has one of the highest syphilis rates in China. However, there is no targeted syphilis screening for HIV patients in Hainan, highlighting the need for data to guide public health interventions. This study aims to assess the incidence of seropositive syphilis and its associated factors among PLHIV.
