Background: This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging-guided hepatectomy(FIGH) for liver tumors.

Methods: Clinical studies were retrieved from the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Medline and Web of Science electronic databases. Primary outcomes included operative time, blood loss, blood transfusion, hospital stay, R0 resection, postoperative complications, postoperative mortality and 1-year recurrence rate. Study-specific effect sizes and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined to calculate the pooled value using a fixed-effects or random-effects model.

Results: Six studies comprising 587 patients were included. Major operative time (mean difference [MD] = -55.45; 95% CI = -78.85- -32.05), blood loss (MD = 12.99; 95% CI = 12.00-13.97), hospital stay (rate difference [RD] = -12.61; 95% CI = -15.06- -10.17), and postoperative complications (RD = -0.07; 95% CI = -0.12- -0.01) were all less in the FIGH group than in the traditional hepatectomy(TH) group. No differences were found in blood transfusion, R0 resection or 1-year recurrence rate. No perioperative mortality was observed in either group.

Conclusion: Based on current evidence, applying indocyanine green fluorescence imaging technology to accurately diagnose and treat liver tumors can effectively reduce operative time, blood loss, hospital stay and postoperative complications.

Immune cells show enormous potential for targeted nanoparticle delivery due to their intrinsic tumor-homing skills. However, the immune cells can internalize the nanoparticles, leading to cellular functional impairments, degradation of the nanoparticles, and delayed release of drugs from the immune cells. To address these issues, this study introduces an approach for the synthesis of freshly derived neutrophils (NUs)-based nanocarriers system where the NUs are surfaced by dialdehyde alginate-coated self-assembled micelles loaded with mitoxantrone (MIT) and indocyanine green (ICG) (i.

Prcis: Trabecular cutting minimally invasive glaucoma surgery like bent ab interno needle goniectomy (BANG) when performed in baseline aqueous angiography identified low aqueous humor outflow regions, results in greater success of intraocular pressure reduction.

Purpose: To study the efficacy of Bent Ab Interno Needle Goniectomy (BANG) in high versus low aqueous humor outflow (AHO) regions as determined by Aqueous Angiography(AA) in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods: A prospective, single-centre, pilot, randomized control trial recruited 30 eyes of 30 patients of POAG and visually significant cataract (45-80 y) and were randomised into two groups ("A": BANG performed in the high-flow regions and "B": BANG performed in the low-flow regions) of 15 each.

Background: Superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) side-to-side microvascular anastomosis can achieve the same clinical effects as traditional STA-MCA end-to-side anastomosis in extracranial-intracranial revascularization surgery, furthermore, STA-MCA side-to-side anastomosis has the lower risk of postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) and the potential to recruit all scalp arteries as the donor sources via self-regulation. Therefore, STA-MCA side-to-side microvascular anastomosis seems to be a revascularization strategy superior to traditional STA-MCA end-to-side anastomosis. In this study, we presented seven cases in which a STA-MCA side-to-side microvascular anastomosis was performed with a 4-5 mm long arteriotomy using the in-situ intraluminal suturing technique.

Gold nanorods coated with self-assembled silk fibroin for improving their biocompatibility and facilitating targeted photothermal-photodynamic cancer therapy.

Gold nanorods (AuNRs) have shown great potential as photothermal agents for cancer therapy. However, the biosafety of AuNRs ordinarily synthesized using a cationic ligand assistance procedure has always been a subject of controversy, which limits their application in tumor therapy. In this study, we propose a novel strategy to enhance the biocompatibility of AuNRs by constructing a biological coating derived from silk fibroin (SF) on their surface.
