We explored the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in and liver cancer risk. Thirteen SNPs were genotyped in 473 cases and 564 controls. Genetic model, linkage disequilibrium, and haplotype analyses were performed to evaluate the association between SNPs and liver cancer risk. We found that rs6713088 (G allele: odds ratio [OR] = 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-1.52, = 0.007; GG vs. CC: OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.02-2.1, = 0.038), rs843711 (T allele: OR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.09-1.54, = 0.004; TT vs. CC: OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.13-2.31, = 0.008), rs843706 (A allele: OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.09-1.55, = 0.003; AA vs. CC: OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.13-2.31, = 0.008), and rs843645 (GG vs. AG: OR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.07-1.82, = 0.014) were associated with an increased risk of liver cancer. In contrast, rs1682111 (A allele: OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.640-0.94, = 0.007; AT vs. TT: OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.53-0.91, = 0.007), rs843720 (additive model: OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.68-1.00, = 0.049), ATATCGCC and CG haplotypes (OR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.62-0.92, = 0.006; OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.65-0.93, = 0.006, respectively) were significantly decreased liver cancer risk. Our results confirmed that rs6713088, rs843645, rs843711 and rs843706 were significantly increased liver cancer risk, but rs1682111, rs843720 and haplotypes (ATATCGCC and CG) were significantly decreased liver cancer risk in a Han Chinese population.

Purpose: To analyze survival and its predictors among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in Ethiopia.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among patients who received TACE for HCC at MCM Hospital from December 1, 2016, to December 31, 2022. Data were extracted from patients' medical records, and vital status was ascertained from the patients' charts or by phone call to the next of kin.

Aging is a complex process that affects multiple organs, and the discovery of a pharmacological approach to ameliorate aging is considered the Holy Grail of medicine. Here, we performed an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea forward genetic screening in zebrafish and identified an accelerated aging mutant named (), harboring a mutation in the - () gene. Loss of leads to a short lifespan and age-related characteristics in the intestine of zebrafish embryos, such as cellular senescence, genomic instability, and epigenetic alteration.

The ionizable lipid component of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations is essential for mRNA delivery by facilitating endosomal escape. Conventionally, these lipids are synthesized through complex, multistep chemical processes that are both time-consuming and require significant engineering. Furthermore, the development of new ionizable lipids is hindered by a limited understanding of the structure-activity relationships essential for effective mRNA delivery.

Hepatobiliary (HB) contrast agents are increasingly valuable diagnostic tools in MRI, offering a wider range of applications as their clinical use expands. Normal hepatocytes take up HB contrast agents, which are subsequently excreted in bile. This property creates a distinct HB phase providing valuable insights into liver function and biliary anatomy.

Herein, fluorescent calcium carbonate nanoclusters encapsulated with methotrexate (Mtx) and surface functionalized with chitosan (25 nm) (@Calmat) have been developed for the imaging and treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). These biocompatible, pH-sensitive nanoparticles demonstrate significant potential for targeted therapy and diagnostic applications. The efficacy of nanoparticles (NPs) was evaluated in MDA-MB-231 TNBC cell lines.
