[Advancements and controversies in conversion therapy for biliary tract malignant tumors with insufficient future liver remnant].

Due to the unique location and aggressive tumor biology,hilar cholangiocarcinoma,intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma,and gallbladder cancer often present with obstructive jaundice and require extensive liver resection,also exhibit high rates of recurrence and metastasis after radical excision. Therefore,surgeons should make treatment decisions based on the biliary anatomy of patients and the biological characteristics of tumors as it significantly affects patient's prognosis. Treatment strategy should be made to ensure the successful implementation of radical resection for biliary tract malignant tumors while maximizing the survival benefits of patients.

None detectable retrograde transport of Chinese botulinum toxin type A in mice by single intramuscular injection.

Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) can specifically cleave synaptosomal associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) into cleaved SNAP-25 (cl.SNAP-25), thus blocking the synaptic transmission in motor end plate and resulting in paralysis. It has been widely applied in clinical for treatment of various conditions characterized by muscle hyperactivity, such as dystonia and spasticity.
