8%, and 80.8% respectively and overall survival rates were 89.7%, 82.1%, 76.9%, 74.4%, 74.4%, 64.8%, and 64.8% respectively. Logistic regression highlighted Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score at 6 months as a positive predictive factor of HE recurrence with a cutoff of ≥ 9. Five patients (12.8%) had fever and leukocytosis and 1 (2.6%) patient developed spontaneous bacterial peritonitis after the procedure. CONCLUSION BRTO is an effective treatment for refractory HE in cirrhotics secondary to large PSS with a few possible complications. KEY POINTS • BRTO is an effective and safe treatment for refractory HE, arising from PSS in cirrhotic patients. • Patients with preserved liver function show better outcome and CTP score is the most important predictor of relapse during follow-up.OBJECTIVES To evaluate the implications of hepatic subcapsular and capsular flows using ultrasonography (US) in children after Kasai operation. METHODS Children who underwent liver US including color Doppler US and microvascular imaging (MVI) from May 2017 to October 2017 were retrospectively included. Children who underwent the Kasai operation for biliary atresia were included in the Kasai group and children with normal liver were included in the control group. Using US results, the number of intrahepatic biliary cysts and the maximum diameter of the spleen were evaluated in the Kasai group. Liver stiffness values were included when patients in the Kasai group had transient elastography (TE) or shear wave elastography (SWE) results. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/CP-673451.html Hepatic subcapsular and capsular flows on color Doppler US and MVI were compared between the two groups using the following scores 0, no flow reaching the hepatic capsule; 1, any flow reaching the hepatic capsule; and 2, contiguous hepatic capsular flow. The logistic regression tular flows on US would be meaningful for children after receiving the Kasai operation. KEY POINTS • Hepatic subcapsular or capsular flows can be useful not only for the diagnosis but also for the postoperative follow-up in patients with biliary atresia. • Increased liver stiffness and splenomegaly after the Kasai operation were associated with presence of subcapsular or capsular flow on ultrasonography. • Evaluation of hepatic subcapsular and capsular flows could be needed to assess disease progression after receiving the Kasai operation.OBJECTIVES We used the status of microvascular invasion (MVI) at primary resection to help treatment selection for hepatitis B virus-positive (HBV+) recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (rHCC) patients in Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B-C. METHODS From 2009 to 2017, we enrolled 221 consecutive HBV+ rHCC patients at BCLC stage B-C who underwent re-resection (RR), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Post recurrence survival (PRS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between RR/RFA and TACE according to MVI status. A one-to-one propensity score matching analysis was performed. RESULTS For MVI(-) patients, the median PRS was 62.3 months for the RR/RFA group and 21.1 months for the TACE group (p = 0.039). The corresponding OS was 71.4 months and 26.6 months, respectively (p = 0.010). For MVI(+) patients, the median PRS in the RR/RFA group and TACE group was 14.7 months and 10.1 months (p = 0.115). The corresponding OS was 23.4 months and 16.4 months, respectively (p = 0.067). After matching, the dominance of RR/RFA over TACE remained in MVI(-) patients for both PRS (62.3 months vs 15.3 months, p = 0.019) and OS (98.1 months vs 33.4 months, p = 0.046). No significant difference was found in MVI(+) patients for either PRS (14.7 months vs 11.8 months, p = 0.593) or OS (23.4 months vs 28.1 months, p = 0.662). CONCLUSIONS MVI status definitely helps select treatment options in HBV+ rHCC patients. For MVI(-) patients, RR/RFA provided better survival than TACE while for MVI(+) patients, TACE shared similar survival outcomes. KEY POINTS • This study aimed at the determination of the optimal treatment options (ablation /resection vs TACE) in case of recurrent HBV-related HCC. • It showed that MVI status, established at primary resection of HCC, was a powerful marker for selecting the best treatment option in these patients. • In MVI(-) patients, RR/RFA achieved a better survival than TACE. In MVI(+) patients, TACE shared similar survival.OBJECTIVES This study was conducted in order to identify imaging features on three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) of unexplained chronic cough (UCC) patients with positive sputum cultures for filamentous Basidiomycetes (f-BM). METHODS UCC outpatients who had been given various questionnaires for cough, pulmonary function tests, and fungal cultures of sputum were evaluated. Multidetector row CT (MDCT) was performed for three-dimensional CT analysis of the lungs. Retrospective analysis was carried out with three groups f-BM culture-positive group, other fungal culture-positive group, and culture-negative group. The Kruskal-Wallis test, analysis of variance, Fischer exact test, χ2 test, Student's t test, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman's correlation coefficient, and Dunn-Bonferroni post hoc method were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Of the 50 patients, 3 were excluded and the remaining 47 were included in the analysis. There were no significant differences in respiratory function or clinical characteients with filamentous Basidiomycetes cultured from sputum had mucus plugs and bronchiolar wall thickening. • UCC patients with sputum cultures positive for filamentous Basidiomycetes may have fine airway lesions that could not be detected without three-dimensional computed tomography.Carbon nanoparticles (NPs) from the incomplete combustion of a candle were used as matrix for surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS). The washed carbon soot NPs (WCS NPs, ~48 nm) exhibit higher laser desorption/ionization efficiency and less background compared with other common metal and carbon matrices. WCS NPs present good reproducibility and high sensitivity in analyzing a wide range of molecules in both positive and negative ionization mode in SALDI-MS. The detection limit of glucose is 1 pmol with WCS NPs as matrix. WCS NPs can be used to quantitatively determine urine glucose, visualize latent fingerprint and image it with SALDI-MS. The UV absorption of WCS NPs and MS spectra analyzed with WCS NPs matrix remain the same after 10 months storage, indicating the good stability of WCS NPs as matrix. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of carbon nanoparticles derived from carbon soot and its application as matrix in SALDI-MS.
