Neutrophils are the most abundant myeloid-derived eukaryotic cells in human blood with increasingly recognized as important regulators of cancer progression. However, the functional importance of tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) is often overlooked due to their short-lived, terminally differentiated, non-proliferative properties. In recent years, a wealth of evidences obtained from experimental tumor models and cancer patients had indicated that TANs had obvious heterogeneity in morphology and function, and TANs had dual functions of pro- and anti-tumor in cancer patients. This review provides an adequate overview of the heterogeneity and distinct roles of neutrophils.
目的 回顾性分析2008年5月12日汶川地震及2013年4月20日芦山地震中，笔者所在医院收治的8例地震肝外伤住院伤员情况，为地震肝外伤的诊治提供参考。方法 于笔者所在医院病案科查询因地震伤入院且诊断为肝外伤的伤员，收集其相关临床资料并分析。结果 笔者所在医院在汶川及芦山地震后共收治地震肝外伤患者8例，其中7例患者伴随有其他合并伤。入院后2例患者接受了肝脏手术治疗，其余6例患者行保守治疗。所有患者均治愈出院。结论 早期明确诊断，选择恰当的治疗方式，及时处理合并伤，可以使地震肝外伤患者获得良好的预后。
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical value of small-for-size left lobe liver auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (APOLT) in the treatment of decompensated cirrhosis. MethodThe preoperative and postoperative clinical data of 4 patients who received small-for-size left lobe liver APOLT in 2023 were retrospectively described and analyzed. ResultsOne patient suffered metabolic liver disease cirrhosis and the other three suffered hepatitis B cirrhosis, all of whom presented with decompensated cirrhosis. Preoperative evaluation showed that the graft-to-recipient weight ratio was less than 0.6%. All recipients underwent left hemihepatectomy. The grafts were derived from living donors in 3 cases, from donation after citizen death in 1 case. After APOLT treatment, 4 patients and grafts survived, 1 patient experienced transplantation rejection and recovered after modified anti-rejection therapy. Three patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis were treated with nucleoside analogues and hepatitis B immunoglobulin, the hepatitis B virus DNA was negative at the end of follow-up, one of three patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis showed negative results for hepatitis B virus in the graft biopsy at month one after surgery. ConclusionsFrom the summary results of these cases, small-for-size left lobe liver APOLT can be used to treat decompensated cirrhosis. The application and popularization of this treatment regimen is expected to expand the donor pool and benefit more decompensated cirrhosis patients with lower Model for End-stage Liver Disease score.
目的:探讨活体右半肝移植供体术后并发症及其处理。方法:回顾性分析了我院肝移植中心的120例活体肝移植供体术后并发症发生的类型和临床处理方法。结果:120例活体肝移植供体术后都出现肝功能实验室指标的短期变化,其中114例术后1周内恢复正常;6例恢复时间大于1周。术后并发症总发生率9.16%,其中严重并发症发生率4.16%,轻微并发症发生率5.00%。所有术后并发症得到及时的发现和处理,恢复良好。结论:经过严密的术前检查和评估、充分的术前准备、细致的术中操作和全面的术后监护与治疗,活体右半肝移植供体的手术安全性较高,近期预后较好。
ObjectiveTo more comprehensive understanding the survival situation of donors after liver transplantation, which can be applied to clinical diagnosis and treatment. MethodsThe related literatures in recent years of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) postoperative complications, quality of life, and liver regeneration were reviewed, and the donors postoperative survival situation were investigated. ResultsLDLT has become an option, It is safe and feasible for healthy adults to donate partial liver for LDLT. ConclusionsDonor postoperative survival situation is very important, and it affect the development of LDLT.To improve donors postoperative survival situation, we still need more efforts.
ObjectiveTo better understand artificial intelligence (AI) and its application in management of liver cancer.MethodThe relevant literatures about AI in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer in recent years were reviewed.ResultsIn terms of diagnosis, the deep learning could precisely and quickly complete the imaging localization and segmentation of the liver, which was helpful for the diagnosis, while radiomics had a high value in assisting the diagnosis of liver cancer, predicting the postoperative recurrence and long-term survival of patients with liver cancer. In regard of treatment, although it was still difficult for AI to intervene in liver surgery, it had significant advantages in formulating individualized operation scheme for patients with liver cancer, which enabled precise hepatectomy and was helpful for prediction of intraoperative bleeding. AI fusion imaging could provide assistance in operation plan making and realize the precise placement of ablation needle. AI was able to predict the tumor response or even tumor progression after interventional therapy and radiotherapy. Pathological analysis was also facilitated by AI and was able to identify some details and feature textures that were difficult to manually distinguish. For transplantation, guidance of AI on the allocation of donor livers based on hazards models helped make better use of limited organ resources. AI could be applied in prognosis prediction in almost all treatment modalities.ConclusionsAI provides more efficient and precise diagnosis, treatment support and prognosis than conventional medical process in liver cancer, generally by constructing a fully functional model based on a series of data mining methods combined with statistical analysis.
