A single center analysis of long-term outcomes and survival related risk factors in liver retransplantation Open
Retransplantation with living donor graft demonstrated good long-term outcomes with acceptable complications to both recipient and donor. It may serve as a choice in areas lacking deceased donors. The timing of retransplantation did not af…

PFDN4 as a Prognostic Marker Was Associated with Chemotherapy Resistance through CREBP1/AURKA Pathway in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Open
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy and its incidence is increasing. It is currently mainly treated by clinical chemotherapy, but chemoresistance remains poorly understood. Prefolded proteins 4 (PFDN4) are molecular chaperone compl…

Vorinostat decrease M2 macrophage polarization through ARID1A6488delG/HDAC6/IL-10 signaling pathway in endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinoma Open
Endometriosis is a common disease in women and may be one of the factors that induces malignant epithelial ovarian tumors. Previous studies suggested that endometriosis is related to ARID1A mutation mediating the expression of HDAC6, but t…

Management of difficult hepatic artery reconstructions to reduce complications through continual technical refinements in living donor liver transplantations Open
Careful examination of the HA under surgical microscope and selection of the appropriate recipient HA are key to successful reconstruction. Through continual technical refinements, we can reduce HA complications to the lowest degree.

Can Microscopic Biliary Reconstruction Reduce Biliary Complication Rate in ABO-Incompatible Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation? Open
BACKGROUND With the introduction of rituximab, ABO-incompatible (ABOi) living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been considered a feasible and safe procedure to overcome the shortage of organ donors. However, higher biliary complicati…

The efficacy and toxicity of adjuvant S-1 schedule with 2-week administration followed by 1-week rest in gastric cancer patients Open
The results of our study confirm that the efficacy and safety of schedule modification of adjuvant S-1 treatment in patients with GC who underwent gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection are equal to those in a previous phase 3 study.

Metronomic vinorelbine is an excellent and safe treatment for advanced breast cancer: a retrospective, observational study Open
Advanced breast cancer (ABC) has become a chronic disease. In such a situation, an effective therapy with low toxicities and economically acceptable is needed. Metronomic vinorelbine (mVNR) has been proved to be effective on the control of…

S-1 versus Doublet Regimens as Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancer after Radical Surgery with D2 Dissection—A Propensity Score Matching Analysis Open
Background: Fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-based doublet regimen is the standard treatment of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) for gastric cancer (GC). Our study aims to compare S1 with doublet regimens as AC in patients with advanced GC after r…

Bilateral proficiency over time leads to reduced donor morbidity in living donor hepatectomy Open
Although left-lobe donation is considered safer, right-sided donor hepatectomy predominates in adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We hypothesized that bilateral proficiency with donor hepatectomy reduces overall donor complic…

What happened in 133 consecutive hepatic artery reconstruction in liver transplantation in 1 year? Open
Small vessels or HA injury are the frequently encountered problems by a micro vascular surgeon. The other problems could be ID, need to do multiple reconstructions, immediate HAT and ability to re-do the HAR immediately.
