Background: Medicaid expansion began in 2014 after passage of the Affordable Care Act; however, the impact and durability of the effects on lung cancer treatment utilization are poorly defined. We aimed to determine whether there is a persistent difference in utilization of lung resection, lung biopsy, and nonoperative treatment of lung cancer in states participating in Medicaid expansion compared with states that are not.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was completed analyzing the difference in utilization between Medicaid expansion states and non-expansion states in 2012-2013, 2016-2017, and 2019.

Catheter-based pulmonary artery denervation (PADN) has achieved promising outcomes to treat pulmonary hypertension (PH). We herein present stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) as a novel noninvasive approach for PADN. A single fraction of 15 Gy, 20 Gy or 25 Gy was delivered for PADN in a thromboxane A2 (TxA2) - induced acute PH swine model.

Aims: Exploring fibrosis index-4 (FIB-4)'s predictive value for HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in assessing recurrence following stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with HBV-related HCC.
Methods: HBV-related HCC patients who underwent SBRT were retrospectively enrolled from March 2012 to March 2020. Patients were divided into recurrence and non-recurrence groups based on the HCC recurrence situation.
