Objective:To investigate the influence of curative-intent resection with textbook outcomes of liver surgery (TOLS) on long-term prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 824 patients with GBC in the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, who were admitted to 15 medical centers from January 2014 to January 2021, were collected. There were 285 males and 539 females, aged (62±11)years. According to the evalua-tion criteria of TOLS, patients were divided into those who achieved TOLS and those who did not achieve TOLS. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and com-parison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data were conduc-ted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and draw survival curve, and the Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. The COX stepwise regression model with backward Wald method was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Achievement of TOLS. Of the 824 patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC, there were 510 cases achieving TOLS and 314 cases not achieving TOLS. (2) Follow-up. Of the 824 patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC, after excluding 112 deaths within 90 days after discharge, 712 cases were included for the survival analysis. The median follow-up time, median overall survival time and 5-year overall survival rate of the 510 patients achieving TOLS were 22.1(11.4,30.1)months, 47.6(30.6,64.6)months and 47.5%. The median follow-up time, median overall survival time and 5-year overall survival rate of the 202 patients not achieving TOLS were 14.0(6.8,25.5)months, 24.3(20.0,28.6)months and 21.0%. There was a significant difference in overall survival between patients achieving TOLS and patients not achieving TOLS ( χ2=58.491, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of factors influencing prognosis of patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that TOLS, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA19-9, poorly differentiation of tumor, T2 stage of eighth edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging, T3 and T4 stage of eighth edition of AJCC staging, N1 stage of the eighth edition of AJCC staging, N2 stage of the eighth edition of AJCC staging, adjuvant therapy were independent factors influencing overall survival time of patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC ( hazard ratio=0.452, 1.479, 1.373, 1.612, 1.455, 1.481, 1.835, 1.978, 0.538, 95% c onfidence interval as 0.352-0.581, 1.141-1.964, 1.052-1.791, 1.259-2.063, 1.102-1.920, 1.022-2.147, 1.380-2.441, 1.342-2.915, 0.382-0.758, P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients under-going curative-intent resection for GBC with TOLS can achieve better long-term prognosis.

Objective:To develop a short-term prognostic model of spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage based on eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) machine learning, and to compare its predictive performance with a Logistic regression model.Methods:Patients with sICH admitted to Department of Neurology, Second People's Hospital of Hefei from January 2018 to March 2022 were chosen; their general demographic characteristics, medical history, laboratory indices and cranial imaging data were retrospectively collected. The prognoses of patients 90 d after discharge were evaluated according to modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores (good prognosis: mRS scores<3; poor prognosis: mRS scores≥3). XGboost and multiple Logistic regression models were used to screen out the factors for prognoses of patients 90 d after discharge, and area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, sensitivity, specificity and prediction accuracy of the 2 models were analyzed and compared.Results:A total of 413 patients with sICH were included; 180 patients(43.6 %) had poor prognosis and 233 (56.4%) had good prognosis 90 d after discharge. Multivariate Logistic regression results showed that age≥65 years, hemorrhage into the ventricle, hematoma volume of 20-40 mL, hematoma volume>40 mL and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were independent influencing factors for short-term prognoses of sICH ( P<0.05). The variables in the XGBoost model were ranked in order of importance: NIHSS scores, systolic blood pressure at admission, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores, age≥65 years, hemorrhage into the ventricle, hematoma volume of 20-40 mL, and hematoma volume>40 mL. AUC of XGBoost model in predicting the prognosis was 0.895 (95% CI: 0.820-0.947), enjoying sensitivity of 68.89%, specificity of 94.83%, and prediction accuracy of 83.5%. AUC of Logistic regression model in predicting the prognosis was 0.894 (95% CI: 0.818-0.946), enjoying sensitivity of 93.33%, specificity of 70.69%, and prediction accuracy of 80.58%. Conclusion:The short-term prognostic model based on XGboost for sICH patients has high predictive efficacy, whose predictive accuracy is better than traditional Logistic regression.

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune liver disease accompanied by cholestasis, with the histological feature of non-purulent cholangitis. This article briefly describes the advantages and limitations of the traditional pathological staging systems such as Rubin stage, Scheuer stage, and Ludwig stage and the latest Nakanuma stage. Among them, Nakanuma stage refines the histological grading and staging standards to reduce the chance of missed diagnosis due to sampling errors, thus providing more adequate diagnostic and prognostic information for the clinic. A combination of new and traditional staging systems can provide guidance to the diagnosis, treatment, and research of PBC.
