Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) undergoing surgical resection.Methods:Patients who undergoing radical surgical resection for ICC from Jan 2015 to Apr 2021 at the Department of General Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were included in this retrospective cohort study.Results:There were 67 patients in the final analysis, The median follow-up duration was 14 months (range: 1-60 months). Firty three patients (79.1%) had tumor recurrence, 52 patients (77.6%) died, Among them, 49 patients (73.1%) died from tumor recurrence. The 1-、2-、and 3-year accumulated disease-free and overall survival rate were 35.6%, 19.6%, 16.8% and 53.7%, 32.4%, 20.8%. respectively. The overall survival rate of the group without microvascular invasion was significantly better than those of the group with microvascular invasion ( χ2=5.916, P=0.015). CA19-9≥1 000 U/ml was the only independent risk factor for the disease-free survival. CA19-9≥1 000 U/ml、blood loss≥600 ml、microvascular invasion and tumor recurrence were the independent risk factors for the overall survival. Conclusion:For ICC patients with single tumor, when the tumor diameter is less than 5 cm and has no microvascular invasion, surgical resection is recommended, and a satisfactory prognosis could be achieved.

Objective To summarize the experience of complex hepatic artery reconstruction in orthotopic liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 7 liver transplantation recipients who underwent complex hepatic artery reconstruction from January 2015 to March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 4 recipients received classical liver transplantation and 3 cases underwent piggyback liver transplantation. Intraoperative general conditions including anhepatic phase, intraoperative blood loss, hepatic artery anastomosis time and operation time of the recipients were recorded. The clinical prognosis and complications were observed. Results In two donors, variant right hepatic artery was used for vascular reconstruction. The celiac trunk or the common hepatic artery of the donors was anastomosed with the common hepatic artery of the recipients. Iliac artery bypass was employed in 2 cases, and then the hepatic artery of the donors was anastomosed with the abdominal aorta of the recipients. The superior mesenteric artery of 1 donor was end-to-end anastomosed with the common hepatic artery of the recipient. The celiac trunk of 1 donor was anastomosed with the splenic artery of the recipient. Only 1 case was required to undergo secondary liver transplantation due to acute hepatic artery thrombosis after hepatic artery anastomosis. All the 6 recipients successfully completed the liver transplantation. No perioperative death was observed. The anhepatic phase endured from 49 to 77 min. The intraoperative blood loss was ranged from 300 to 1 500 mL. The anastomosis time of hepatic artery was 23-56 min. The operation time was ranged from 5.3 to 11.1 h. The length of postoperative hospital stay was 23-56 d. Neither hepatic artery thrombosis nor stenosis occurred. The liver function of all recipients was basically restored to normal within postoperative 2 weeks. No severe surgical complications occurred. The liver graft achieved excellent function. Conclusions Appropriate identification of the hepatic artery variation, proper management of liver artery of the donors and recipients and reconstructing the blood supply of liver graft are the crucial procedures of liver transplantation.

Liver retransplantation is the final option for graft failure after liver transplantation. The interval between the first and second liver transplantation will directly affect surgical indications, technical difficulties and treatment outcomes of adult liver retransplantation. Previous studies have shown that the overall survival of liver allografts and recipients after liver retransplantation is significantly lower than that after the first liver transplantation. However, with comprehensive progress in organ preservation methods, anesthesia management concepts, intensive care strategies, surgical techniques and new immunosuppressive drugs, clinical efficacy of adult liver retransplantation has been significantly improved. In this article, the changes of indications, timing of operation, long-term efficacy and its influencing factors, technical difficulties, selection of immunosuppressive regimens and the implementation of living donor liver retransplantation were reviewed, and the achievements, challenges and potential solutions of adult liver retransplantation were summarized, aiming to provide reference for enhancing clinical efficacy of adult liver retransplantation.

With a global rise in morbidity rates, obesity has become a pressing public health issue. With increased adipocyte number and volume as the main characteristics, obesity is also manifested by metabolic disorders to varying degrees. At the same time, obesity is a risk factor for diabetes, hypertension, stroke, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, imposing burdens on society and families. Influenced by lifestyle, environment, behavior, and genetics, obesity is caused by the interaction of many factors, and its pathological process is complex, involving inflammation, autophagy, and intestinal dysbiosis. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade reaction, a pivotal signaling pathway, plays a crucial role in cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and stress responses. Both Chinese and international studies indicate that the MAPK signaling pathway can effectively regulate obesity through various pathways, including the modulation of adipocyte differentiation and apoptosis, appetite control, and inflammation improvement. Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has demonstrated significant efficacy in preventing and treating obesity, leveraging advantages such as multiple targets, diverse components, and minimal adverse effects. Research indicates that the MAPK signaling pathway is a primary focus of TCM regulation in this context, although a systematic review in this field is currently lacking. Therefore, this paper, by reviewing the latest Chinese and international research, provided a concise overview of the basic structure of the MAPK pathway, with a specific emphasis on recent progress in TCM interventions targeting the MAPK pathway for obesity treatment. The results indicate that regulating adipose tissue formation, differentiation, and thermogenesis, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress levels, and improving insulin sensitivity and metabolic disorders seem to be the main ways for TCM to regulate the MAPK pathway to prevent and treat obesity. However, it is necessary to find more research methods and explore potential mechanisms underlying TCM formulations based on the MAPK pathway for obesity prevention and treatment.
