Objective: The current standard D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer (GC) includes dissection of lymph nodes (LNs) along the proper hepatic artery (No. 12a), however, the survival benefit remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pattern of No. 12a LN metastasis (LNM) in GC and explore the indications for No. 12a LN dissection.
Methods: Medical records of 413 consecutive GC patients who underwent curative surgery in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between January 2015 and December 2018 were enrolled and reviewed retrospectively. The correlation between No. 12a LNM and clinicopathologic characteristics of patients was analyzed.
Results: The overall incidence of No. 12a LNM was 2.67% (11/413). Tumor location (P=0.012), depth of tumor infiltration (P<0.01) and N stage (P=0.018) were significant factors associated with No. 12a LNM. All the tumors with No. 12a LNM involved the lower third of the stomach and were in T3-4 stages. Patients with No. 12a LNM had extensive LNM than those without (20.91±4.25. 5.0±0.54, P<0.001). For advanced GC patients (stage III/IV) with tumors involving the lower third of the stomach, the incidence of No. 12a LNM increased to 10.7% (11/103). Patients with No. 12a LNM had a significantly poorer recurrence-free survival (RFS) (P=0.005) and overall survival (OS) (P=0.017). According to the result of multivariable Cox regression, No. 12a LNM was not an independent impact factor on RFS and OS.
Conclusions: The overall incidence of No. 12a LNM was low but it was much higher in GC patients who had very advanced tumors involving the lower third of the stomach. No. 12a LN dissection should be considered for these patients to improve the survival outcomes.

Social-emotional competence and executive function at preschool are critical for children's school readiness. Unfortunately, young children with the dual risk of low-income status and identified developmental concerns are more likely to have lower social-emotional learning. This study examines (a) bidirectional associations between dyadic parenting behaviors, executive function, and social-emotional competence; and (b) executive function as an explanatory mechanism for the predictive relationship between specific parenting behaviors and children's social-emotional competence.

Given the ease of synthetic accessibility and the promising biological profile demonstrated by both imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and Chalcone derivatives, a series of Chalcone-based imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives were synthesized and characterized using H NMR, C NMR, Mass Spectrometry and FTIR techniques. Density functional theory (DFT) was employed to investigate the structural and electronic properties, providing insights into potential reactive sites. The synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antiviral properties against human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) and human immunodeficiency virus type-2 (HIV-2) in MT-4 cells.

Background: Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo is a perennial epiphytic herb in traditional Chinese medicine, showing remarkable resistance to salt stress. Water-soluble sugars serve as important osmoprotectants and play crucial roles in plant stress responses. Previous studies have primarily focused on sugar metabolism in individual tissues under stress, resulting in a limited understanding of the regulatory differences between tissues and the relationship between sugar metabolism and transport.

Due to its outstanding optical and electronic properties, molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe) has become a highly regarded material for next-generation optoelectronics. This study presents a comprehensive, comparative analysis of thin (8 nm) and thick (30 nm) MoTe-based photodetectors to elucidate the impact of thickness on device performance. A few layers of MoTe were exfoliated on a silicon dioxide (SiO) dielectric substrate, and electrical contacts were constructed via EBL and thermal evaporation.
