Interleukin-8 (IL-8) plays a vital role in the invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is closely associated with poor prognosis HCC patients. Integrin αvβ3, member integrin family, has been reported to be overexpressed cancer tissues mediate cells. However, relationship between IL-8 αvβ3 underlying mechanism remains unclear.The expression IL-8, αv β3 cells was detected by quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot immunohistochemistry. Transwell assay used detect...

Abstract Background At present, the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma is extremely challenging. In this study, we used a novel three-dimensional non-coplanar template (3DNPT) combined with open MR to guide 125 I seed implantation for glioblastoma. The aim study was evaluate feasibility, accuracy, and effectiveness technique. Methods Twenty-four patients underwent 3DNPT MR-guided brachytherapy from August 2017 January 2019. Preoperative plan were made according enhanced isovoxel T1-weighted...

Central pancreatectomy (CP) has been applied for treating benign and low-grade malignant tumors in pancreatic neck, but studies regarding CP ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are quite limited. We aimed to investigate the role of central treatment PDAC neck pancreas.Patients who underwent at our hospital between 2009 2016 were identified. Patients treated by distal (DP) matched according tumor size, location, staging. The surgical survival outcomes compared DP groups.Nine patients had CP. Five...

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the major complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We sought to develop and validate a risk prediction model for POPF after PD with aim of determining personal probability proposing novel strategy intraoperative placement and/or early-removal prophylactic drainage. Methods: Data from 993 patients undergoing January 2012 December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients randomly assigned either training cohort or...

Abstract There have been few studies comparing percutaneous transhepatic variceal embolization (PTVE) and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for the prevention of recurrent gastric bleeding (GVB). Compare outcomes these 2 procedures in patients with GVB. A total 74 cirrhosis GVB who underwent TIPS modified PTVE were enrolled. The rebleeding mortality rates, portal vein pressure (PVP) variation, rates hepatic encephalopathy (HE) compared between groups. 43 31 enrolled this...
