Objective:To investigate the value of ultrasound guided preoperative percutaneous portal vein puncture indocyanine green (ICG) in laparoscopic anatomic liver S8 resection.Methods:The clinical data of 15 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent laparoscopic anabolic S8 hepatectomy in Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2023 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 13 males and 2 females with the age of (57.77±11.53) years. Clinical data such as China liver cancer staging (CNLC), target portal vein puncture operation time, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications and perioperative death were recorded.Results:Among the 15 patients, 11 were CNLC Ia stage and 4 were CNLC Ib stage. The operation time of target portal vein puncture for the 15 patients was (11.33±4.51) min, and they all successfully completed percutaneous portal vein puncture ICG fluorescence injection under ultrasound guidance. However, the dyeing effect was not up to expectations for 2 patients. All patients completed laparoscopic anatomical resection of the liver S8 segment, including 6 cases of resection of the liver S8 segment, 8 cases of resection of the posterior segment of the liver S8 segment, and 1 case of resection of the anterior segment of the liver S8 segment. The operative time of laparoscopic anabolic S8 hepatectomy was 181.3 (119.0, 237.0) min, the intraoperative blood loss was 203.3 (100.0, 300.0) ml, there was no intraoperative blood transfusion, and the postoperative hospital stay was (12.00±3.88) d. No positive surgical margin was found in postoperative pathology, and the tumor diameter of 15 patients was (3.29±1.10) cm. No complications of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ or above occurred after surgery, and no perioperative death occurred, and only 1 patient developed pulmonary infection after surgery.Conclusion:Preoperative ultrasound-guided percutaneous portal vein puncture ICG can effectively assist laparoscopic anatomic S8 hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the effects of nedaplatin combined with docetaxel on serum tumor markers and T lymphocyte subsets in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.Methods:Ninety-two patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who received treatment from March 2016 to December 2017 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to undergo nedaplatin combined with docetaxel (observation group, n = 46) or cisplatin combined with paclitaxel (control group, n = 46). Both groups received two 21-day courses of treatment. Serum tumor marker level, T lymphocyte subset level, clinical efficacy, incidence of adverse reactions, and 2-year survival rate were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125), cancer antigen 199 (CA199), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were (45.84 ± 22.46) U/mL, (35.13 ± 15.03) U/mL, (16.21 ± 3.20) U/mL, respectively in the control group and they were (28.33 ± 20.11) U/mL, (14.82 ± 10.11) U/mL, (5.16 ± 1.33) U/mL, respectively in the observation group. After treatment, CA125, CA199, and CEA levels in each group were significantly decreased compared with before treatment. After treatment, CA125, CA199, and CEA levels were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group ( t = 3.94, 7.61, 21.63, all P < 0.05). After treatment, the numbers of CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 + cells in the control group were (16.22 ± 3.12)%, (15.20 ± 1.46)%, (29.21 ± 5.17)%, respectively, and they were (31.22 ± 4.11)%, (24.99 ± 1.71)%, (24.25 ± 4.45)% respectively in the observation group. After treatment, the numbers of CD3 + and CD4 + cells in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t = 19.72, 29.53, both P < 0.05). After treatment, the number of CD8 + cells in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 4.93, P < 0.05). Total response rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group [78.26% (36/46) vs. 58.70% (27/46), χ2 = 4.08, P < 0.05]. The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group [23.91% (11/46) vs. 45.65% (21/46), χ2 = 4.79, P < 0.05]. The 2-year survival rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group [43.48% (20/46) vs. 23.91% (11/46), χ2 = 3.94, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Nedaplatin combined with docetaxel is highly effective on epithelial ovarian cancer. The combined therapy can greatly reduce serum CA125, CA199, and CEA levels but has no great effects on T lymphocyte subsets. It can increase the survival rate but has no serious adverse reactions.

Objective:To establish the norm of the Chinese version of Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale (KPCS) in urban areas of China.Methods:From August to December 2017, the parents of 2 216 children (<36 months old) were selected from 15 cities (Beijing, Lianyungang, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Xi′an, Guangzhou, Changsha, Jinan, Guiyang, Ningbo, Dalian, Qinhuangdao, Maanshan, Chongqing and Wuhan) in 14 provinces by stratified random sampling. The general demographic characteristics and parents′ parenting confidence were collected by a self-made questionnaire and KPCS Chinese version. The percentile norm was established. P 3, P10 and P 25 were used as the criteria to define the degree of lack of parenting confidence. Results:The age of mothers was (30.67±4.29). The age of the father was (32.50±4.99) years old. There were 726 (32.76%), 759 (34.25%) and 731 (32.99%) infants in 6-12, 12-23 and 24-35 months old groups. The total scores of P 50, P 25, P 10 and P 3 of KPCS (Chinese version) of infant parents in urban areas in China were 41, 38, 33, and 29 respectively. When the scores of parents were 34-37, 30-33, and ≤ 29, they were judged as mild, moderate, and severe lack of parenting confidence. There was no significant difference in the Chinese version of KPCS between parents of different age groups and parents of different gender (χ2=3.53, P=0.171; χ2=1.41, P=0.236). Each factor score≤ P 3 is defined as the boundary score, and the corresponding boundary scores of "parenting" "support" and "competence" were 13, 9, and 5 respectively. Conclusion:The Chinese version of KPCS can be used to assess the parenting confidence of infants in urban areas of China. It can used as one of the bases for scientific and objective evaluation of the parenting status of families.

Phytochemicals are reported to provide various biological functions leading to the promotion of health as well as the reduced risk of chronic diseases. Fat-soluble plant pigments, carotenoids, are extensively studied micronutrient phytochemicals for their potential health benefits. It is noteworthy that specific carotenoids may be responsible for different protective effects against certain diseases. In addition, each carotenoid can be obtained from different types of plant foods. Considering the fact that the phytochemical content in foods can vary according to, but not limited to, the varieties and culture conditions, it is important to establish a database of phytochemicals in locally produced plant foods. Currently, information on individual carotenoid content in plant foods commonly consumed in Korea is lacking. As the first step to support the production and consumption of sustainable local plant foods, carotenoids and total phenolic contents of plant foods commonly consumed in Korea are presented and their potential biological functions are discussed in this review.
