		                        			Liver cancer is still a major disease threatening the lives and health of the Chinese people. For early liver cancer with good liver functional reserve, surgical resection remains as the preferred treatment option. In the past several decades, great advances have been made in hepatectomy because of the refinement of surgical theories, advancements in surgical techniques, and improvements in surgical equipment. However, there are still different understandings in the academic community regarding whether to choose anatomic liver resection, how to choose the surgical margin, the design of surgical methods under the liver "territory theory", and the use of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging technology in liver cancer resection. The authors comprehensively review the current researches on the above issues and the research progress in hepatectomy for liver cancer, aiming to provide references for clinicians to optimize the surgical procedure.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the predictive value of systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) for early neurological deterioration (END) and clinical outcome in patients with branch atherosclerotic disease (BAD).Methods:Consecutive patients with BAD admitted to the Department of Neurology, Jiangyin People’s Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from September 2021 to September 2022 were retrospectively included. The clinical data were collected and SIRI was calculated. The calculation method of SIRI was neutrophil count × monocyte count/lymphocyte count. END was defined as an increase of ≥2 in the total score of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) or an increase of ≥1 in the motor function score within 1 week of onset. The modified Rankin Scale was used for outcome evaluation at 3 months after onset, with a score >2 were defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between SIRI and END, as well as poor outcome. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of SIRI for poor outcome. Results:A total of 125 patients with BAD were included, of which 62 (49.6%) had END and 32 (25.6%) had poor outcome. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that intravenous thrombolysis (odds ratio [ OR] 1.083, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.082-1.240; P=0.043) and high SIRI ( OR 1.465, 95% CI 1.150-3.676; P=0.028) were independent risk factors for END in patients with BAD; END ( OR 1.130, 95% CI 1.032-1.384; P=0.006), high baseline NIHSS score ( OR 1.571, 95% CI 1.184-2.101; P=0.003) and high SIRI ( OR 2.062, 95% CI 1.152-3.672; P=0.01) were independent risk factors for poor outcome in patients with BAD. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curves for SIRI, baseline NIHSS score, and the both combined prediction of poor outcome were 0.66 (95% CI 0.54-0.78), 0.70 (95% CI 0.58-0.81), and 0.83 (95% CI 0.74-0.93), respectively. Conclusions:High SIRI is an independent risk factor for END and poor outcome in patients with BAD. The SIRI and baseline NIHSS scores have certain predictive value for poor outcome in patients with BAD, and their combined diagnostic value is higher.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect and potential molecular mechanisms of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor-73 (CDKI-73), the Rab11 inhibitor, on liver fibrosis.Methods:Human LX2 cells were divided into four groups: negative control group, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) group, CDKI-73 group and TGF-β+ CDKI-73 group. Fifteen 5-week-old female C57 mice with body weight of (18.04±0.62) g were divided into 3 groups with 5 mice in each group: control group (intraperitoneal injection of olive oil + vehicle gavage), carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4) group (intraperitoneal injection of CCl 4 + vehicle gavage) and CCl 4+ CDKI-73 group (intraperitoneal injection of CCl 4+ CDKI-73 gavage). Another 15 5-week-old female C57 mice with body weight of (18.06±0.34) g were divided into 3 groups with 5 mice in each group: sham operation group (Sham), bile duct ligation (BDL) group + vehicle group (BDL+ vehicle gavage) and bile duct ligation+ CDKI-73 group (BDL+ CDKI-73 gavage). The expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and fibronectin(FN)in LX2 cells were analyzed by Western blot. Masson and Sirius red were used to examine the liver fibrosis after CDKI-73 treatment in vivo. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was utilized to examine the expression of α-SMA in mice liver. Results:Collagen content assessed by Sirius red and Masson staining and α-SMA expression evaluated by IHC were all increased in CCl 4 group compared with control group ( q=38.47, 24.99, 36.79). Moreover, the collagen content and α-SMA expression in CCl 4 + CDKI-73 treatment group were obviously decreased compared with CCl 4 group ( q=24.72, 14.87, 27.50), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Compared with Sham group, collagen content and α-SMA expression in bile duct ligation group were increased ( q=28.23, 41.01, 44.16). Furthermore, in BDL group, after treatment with CDKI-73, the collagen content and α-SMA expression were notably decreased ( q=22.88, 34.31 and 33.97, all P<0.001). Consistent with in vivo results, the relative expression levels of α-SMA and FN protein in TGF-β group were higher than those in TGF-β+ CDKI-73 group (α-SMA: 3.71±0.34 vs. 1.28±0.31; FN: 3.21±0.39 vs. 0.83±0.06, all P<0.001). The mRNA relative expression levels of α-SMA and FN in TGF-β group were higher than those in TGF-β+ CDKI-73 group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.001). However, the relative expression of TGF-β receptor Ⅱ protein in CDKI-73 group was higher than those in negative control group (4.68±0.63 vs. 1.00±0.22, P=0.004). The relative expression level of phosphorylated SMAD2 in TGF-β+ CDKI-73 group was lower than those in TGF-β group (1.67±0.24 vs. 3.99±0.44, P<0.001). Transwell assay showed that 0.5 μmol/L CDKI-73 could effectively inhibit the migration of LX2 cells, and the inhibitory ability became stronger with the increase of CDKI-73 concentration. Conclusion:CDKI-73 can inhibit the activation of hepatic stellate cells and liver fibrosis by inhibiting Rab11-dependent TGF-β signaling pathway both in vivo and in vitro.

		                        			Objective:To explore any effect of using extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on the gastrocnemius muscle or the myotendinous junction on spasticity and the walking ability of stroke survivors.Methods:A total of 84 stroke survivors were randomly divided into a control group, a muscle belly group, and a myotendinous junction group, each of 28. In addition to conventional rehabilitation, the muscle belly and myotendinous junction groups received ESWT applied to the belly of the gastrocnemius muscle or the myotendinous junction. Before as well as one, two and three weeks after the treatment, all were evaluated using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), passive range of motion (PROM), a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain rating, and 10m maximum walking speed (10m MWS). Stride frequency and length were also measured and compared among the 3 groups.Results:After three weeks of ESWT treatment the average MAS, PROM and VAS scores of the belly and the junction group were significantly improved compared to before the treatment. The average MAS, PROM and VAS scores of the belly group and the average MAS score of the junction group were then significantly superior to the control group′s averages, and the average VAS score of the belly group was significantly better than that of the junction group. After one and two weeks of treatment, the average 10MWSs of the belly and junction groups were significantly better than the control group′s average, and after 3 weeks the belly group′s average speed was significantly better than the junction group′s. The stride frequency of the belly group had improved significantly compared with the control group after 2 weeks, and after 3 weeks both experimental groups had significantly better frequency than the control group. The average stride length of both the belly and junction groups was significantly better than the control group′s average throughout the testing.Conclusion:ESWT applied to the belly of the gastrocnemius muscle or the myotendinous junction can relieve muscle spasticity and pain and improve walking ability. Applying ESWT to the muscle belly is superior to on the myotendinous junction in terms of therapeutic efficacy.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the establishment and application value of a radio-mics prediction model for lymph node metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma based on dual-phase enhanced computed tomography (CT).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 194 patients with gallbladder carcinoma who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2012 to December 2020 were collected. There were 70 males and 124 females, aged (64±10)years. All patients underwent curative-intent resection of gallbladder carcinoma. A total of 194 patients were randomly divided into 156 cases in training set and 38 cases in test set according to the ratio of 8:2 based on random number method in R software. The training set was used to establish a diagnostic model, and the test set was used to validate the diagnostic model. After the patients undergoing CT examination, image analysis was performed, radiomics features were extracted, and a radiomics model was established. Based on clinicopathological data, a nomogram prediction model was established. Observation indicators: (1) lymph node dissection and histopathological examination results; (2) establishment and characteristic analysis of a radiomics prediction model; (3) analysis of influencing factors for lymph node metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma; (4) establishment of a nomogram prediction model for lymph node metastasis; (5) comparison of the predictive ability between the radiomics prediction model and nomogram prediction model for lymph node metastasis. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was performed by the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was conducted by the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis was performed by the Logistic regression model forward method. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn, and the area under curve, decision curve, confusion matrix were used to evaluate the predictive ability of prediction models. Results:(1) Lymph node dissection and histopathological examination results. Of the 194 patients, 182 cases underwent lymph node dissection, with the number of lymph node dissected as 8(range, 1?34) per person and the number of positive lymph node as 0(range, 0?11) per person. Postoperative histopathological examination results of 194 patients: 122 patients were in stage N0, with the number of lymph node dissected as 7(range, 0?27) per person, 48 patients were in stage N1, with the number of lymph node dissected as 8(range, 2?34) per person and the number of positive lymph node as 1(range, 1?3) per person, 24 patients were in stage N2, with the number of lymph node dissected as 11(range, 2?20) per person and the number of positive lymph node as 5(range, 4?11) per person. (2) Establishment and characteristic analysis of a radiomics prediction model. There were 107 radiomics features extracted from 194 patients, including 18 first-order features, 14 shape features and 75 texture features. According to the intra-group correlation coefficient and absolute median difference of each radiomics feature, mutual information, Select K-Best, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression were conducted to further reduce dimensionality. By further combining 5 different machine learning algorithms including random forest, gradient boosting secession tree, support vector machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors and Logistic regression, the result showed that the Select K-Best_SVM model had the best predictive performance after analysis, with the area under receiver operating characteristic curve as 0.76 in the test set. (3) Analysis of influencing factors for lymph node metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma. Results of univariate analysis showed that systemic inflammation response index, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA19-9, CA125, radiological T staging and radiological lymph node status were related factors for lymph node metastasis of patients with gallbladder cancer ( χ2=4.20, 11.39, 5.68, 11.79, 10.83, 18.58, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that carcinoembryonic antigen, CA125, radiological T staging (stage T3 versus stage T1?2, stage T4 versus stage T1?2), radiological lymph node status were independent influencing factors for lymph node metastasis of patients with gallbladder carcinoma [ hazard ratio=2.79, 4.41, 5.62, 5.84, 3.99, 95% confidence interval ( CI) as 1.20?6.47, 1.81?10.74, 1.50?21.01, 1.02?33.31, 1.87?8.55, P<0.05]. (4) Establishment of a nomogram prediction model for lymph node metastasis. A nomogram prediction model was established based on the 4 independent influencing factors for lymph node metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma, including CEA, CA125, radiological T staging and radiological lymph node status. The concordance index of the nomogram model was 0.77 (95% CI as 0.75?0.79) in the training set and 0.73 (95% CI as 0.68?0.72) in the test set, respectively. (5) Comparison of the predictive ability between the radiomics predic-tion model and nomogram prediction model for lymph node metastasis. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the areas under the curve of Select K-Best_SVM radiomics model were 0.75 (95% CI as 0.74?0.76) in the training set and 0.76 (95% CI as 0.75?0.78) in the test set, respectively. The areas under the curve of nomogram prediction model were 0.77 (95% CI as 0.76?0.78) in the training set and 0.70 (95% CI as 0.68?0.72) in the test set, respectively. The decision curve analysis showed that Select K-Best_SVM radiomics model and nomogram prediction model had a similar ability to predict lymph node metastasis. The confusion matrix showed that Select K-Best_SVM radiomics model had the sensitivity as 64.29% and 75.00%, the specificity as 73.00% and 59.09% in the training set and test set, respectively. The nomogram had the sensitivity as 51.79% and 50.00%, the specificity as 80.00% and 72.27% in the training set and test set, respectively. Conclusion:A dual-phase enhanced CT imaging radiomics prediction model for lymph node metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma is successfully established, and its predictive ability is good and consistent with that of nomogram.

The data were studied retrospectively to assess the trend of total admission, radical resection rate, prognosis and clinicopathological characteristics of PGC in the last decade. 【Results】 A total of 2 159 patients with PGC were treated in our institution from 2008 to 2017. Of them, 1072 were surgically treated and 503 underwent radical intent resection. In the past 5 years (2013-2017), the radical resection rate was 26.5% (319 cases of the operation), which was significantly higher than that in 2008-2012 (19.2%) (P<0.001). The overall survival time of the patients who underwent radical resection was 32 months, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate was 68.9%, 48.4% and 41.6%, respectively. Compared with the data of 2008-2012, the proportion of the patients with preoperative jaundice decreased in the past 5 years (7.8% vs. 14.7%, P<0.05), that of the patients who underwent D2 lymphadenectomy (74.0% vs. 26.1%, P<0.001) increased significantly (P<0.001), the total number of lymph nodes obtained from the dissection (8.07±5.18 vs. 5.89±3.14, P<0.001) increased significantly (95.6% vs. 89.7%, P<0.05), and the proportion of R0 resection (95.6%) increased significantly (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The diagnosis and treatment of radical intent resection of PGC in our hospital have changed significantly in the last decade, mainly reflected in the extension of lymphadenectomy, increase in R0 resection rate and decrease in patients with preoperative jaundice.

		                        			Objective:To detect the changes in mental arithmetic competence and the related influencing factors in patients with early Parkinson's disease(PD)by using mental arithmetic task behavioral experiment.Methods:Thirty-one patients with early PD and 40 healthy controls were enrolled in this study.The cognitive functions were tested by mini-mental state examination(MMSE)and Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA). The differences of mental arithmetic competence between the two groups were measured by behavioral experiment.Results:There was no significant difference in correct rate, reaction time and post-corrected reaction time while performing baseline tasks and easy mental arithmetic tasks between the two groups( P>0.05). The reaction time had no significant difference between the two groups after adjusting some confounding factors( P>0.05). However, the correct rate while performing difficult mental arithmetic tasks was significantly lower( t=-2.232, P=0.029)and the reaction time was significantly longer( t=2.149, P=0.035)in PD group than in the controls, and the significant difference in reaction time persisted even after adjusting some confounding factors( t=3.139, P=0.003). In PD group, the correct rate of difficult mental arithmetic tasks was positively associated with MoCA scores( r=0.561, P=0.004), and negatively associated with age( r=-0.532, P=0.008). The reaction time and post-corrected reaction time while performing difficult metal arithmetic task were negatively associated with MoCA scores( r=-0.525, P=0.01; r=-0.554, P=0.005)and positively associated with age( r=0.485, P=0.037; r=0.514, P=0.012)in PD group. Conclusions:The difficult mental arithmetic competence is impaired in early PD patients, which is statistically significantly correlated with cognitive function and age.

		                        			Objective To investigate the clinical effects and prognostic factors of radical surgery for primary gallbladder cancer (GBC).Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 305 patients with primary GBC who underwent radical Ro resection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from 2013 to 2017 were collected,including 108 males and 197 females,aged from 30 to 88 years,with a median age of 62 years.According to the different tumor staging,patients underwent corresponding operation and adjuvant treatment based on the postoperative indication of chemotherapy.Observation indicators:(1) results of imaging and laboratory examinations;(2) treatment situations:① surgical situations,② postoperative adjuvant treatment;(3) results of postoperative pathological examination;(4) followup;(5) prognostic factors analysis.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative survival up to December 5,2018,and death was used as the end point.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Count data were represented as percentage.The survival curve and survival rate were respectively drawn and calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were respectively done using the Log-rank test and COX regression model.Results (1) Results of imaging and laboratory examinations:results of imaging examination showed that diagnostic rates of ultrasound,CT and MRI examination were respectively 84.06% (174/207),85.71% (168/196) and 63.11% (65/103).Results of laboratory examination showed that the positive rates of CA19-9,CA125 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were respectively 55.34% (145/262),48.06% (124/258) and 46.15% (126/273).(2) Treatment situations:① surgical situations:305 patients underwent radical R0 resection for primary GBC,including 145 undergoing liver wedge resection + D2 lymph node dissection,61 undergoing liver wedge resection + D1 lymph node dissection,55 undergoing liver Ⅳ B and Ⅴ segmentectomy + D2 lymph node dissection,11 undergoing liver Ⅳ B and Ⅴ segrnentectomy + D1 lymph node dissection,9 undergoing right hepatectomy + D2 lymph node dissection,5 undergoing liver wedge resection + D2 lymph node dissection + partial colectomy,4 undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy,3 undergoing simple cholecystectomy in Tis stage,3 undergoing right hepatectomy + D1 lymph node dissection,2 undergoing liver ⅣB and Ⅴ segmentectomy + D2 lymph node dissection + partial colectomy,1 undergoing liver Ⅳ B and Ⅴ segmentectomy + resection and reconstruction of portal vein + D2 lymph node dissection,1 undergoing liver ⅣB and Ⅴ segmentectomy + D2 lymph node dissection + partial resection of the stomach or duodenum,1 undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy + resection and reconstruction of portal vein,1 undergoing right hepatectomy + pancreaticoduodenectomy,1 undergoing right hepatic lobectomy + partial gastrectomy + D2 lymph node dissection,1 undergoing right hepatic lobectomy + D1 lymph node dissection and 1 undergoing right hepatic trilobectomy + D2 lymph node dissection.Of 94 patients with unsuspected GBC,78 who were diagnosed in the other hospitals received salvage surgery in the authors' center.Twenty-one patients had postoperative surgery-related complications,including 11 with bile leakage,8 with pulmonary infection and 2 with abdominal bleeding.Two patients died in the perioperative period.② Postoperative adjuvant treatment:26 patients underwent postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.Chemotherapy regimen:gemcitabine + oxaliplatin were used in 12 patients,gemcitabine + tegafur in 7 patients,gemcitabine + cisplatin in 6 patients,oxaliplatin + tegafur in 1 patient.(3) Results of postoperative pathological examination.The postoperative pathological type of 305 patients:257,23,6,5,4,3,3,2,1 and 1 patients were respectively confirmed as pure adenocarcinoma,adenocarcinoma combined with squamous cell carcinoma,adenocarcinoma combined with neuroendocrine carcinoma,mucinous adenocarcinoma,neuroendocrine carcinoma,adenocarcinoma combined with mucinous carcinoma,squamous cell carcinoma,sarcomatoid carcinoma,adenocarcinoma combined with sarcomatoid carcinoma,adenocarcinoma combined with signet-ring cell carcinoma.Degree of tumor differentiation:highdifferentiated,moderate-differentiated and low-differentiated tumors were detected in 37,130 and 121 patients,respectively,17 with unknown differentiated degree.Of 305 patients,16 and 32 patients had respectively vascular invasion and nerve invasion.The number of lymph node dissected of 305 patients was 8±5,with positive lymph node of 0 (range,0-9),including 121 with lymphatic metastasis (26 with jumping lymphatic metastasis).TNM staging of 305 patients:stage 0,Ⅰ,Ⅱ,ⅢA,ⅢB,ⅣA and ⅣB were detected in 7,18,13,137,57,11 and 62 patients,respectively.(4) Follow-up:245 of 305 patients were followed up for 18.0 months (range,6.0-70.0 months).The survival time,1-and 3-year survival rates were respectively 29.5 months (range,0.5-69.9 months),71.6% and 45.8%.One hundred and twenty-two patients died during the follow-up.(5) Prognostic factors analysis:the results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative level of bilirubin,pathological type,degree of tumor differentiation,liver invasion,vascular invasion,nerve invasion,T staging,N staging and postoperative chemotherapy were factors affecting prognosis of patients with primary GBC (x2 =10.26,3.96,45.89,34.64,12.75,27.05,35.09,39.44,4.40,P<0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that low-differentiated tumor,liver invasion and N2 staging were independent risk factors affecting prognosis of patients with primary GBC [odds ratio (OR)=1.90,1.71,1.46,95% confidence interval (CI):1.34-2.70,1.15-2.52,1.17-1.82,P<0.05],and postoperative chemotherapy was a protective factor affecting prognosis of patients with primary GBC (OR=0.35,95% CI:0.15-0.82,P<0.05).Conclusions For patients with primary GBC undergoing radical resection,D2 lymph node dissection should be performed routinely.The low-differentiated tumor,liver invasion and N2 staging are independent risk factors affecting prognosis of patients,and postoperative chemotherapy is a protective factor.
