Academic Background Pancreatectomy is an important treatment for pancreatic diseases, but postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a common and serious complication, with an incidence rate as high as 20%. POPF not only prolongs hospital stays and increases medical costs but is also closely associated with increased postoperative mortality. Theref...

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a common surgery for treating tumors of the pancreas and surrounding organs, but postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of its major complications, especially in high-risk patients, where the incidence of POPF can be as high as 50%. POPF not only increases hospitalization time and medical costs but can also lead t...

Clinicogenomic Landscape of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: The Prognostic Role of KRAS Mutation Dosage Academic Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common histological type of pancreatic cancer, is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality and has the lowest five-year survival rate among all cancer types. Over ...

CDC42 Plays a Crucial Role in the Early Regulation of Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation Academic Background Liver fibrosis is a pathological process associated with various liver diseases, which may eventually progress to cirrhosis—a life-threatening condition. Currently, there are no effective treatments to halt the progression of liver fibrosis. H...

NAD+ Protects Hepatocytes Against Palmitate-Induced Lipotoxicity by Preventing PARP-1 Inhibition and mTORC1-p300 Pathway Activation Research Background Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) encompasses a spectrum of liver diseases ranging from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis, fibrosis/cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular ca...

Breakthrough in Gene Therapy: Repair Drive Technology Enables In Vivo Expansion of Hepatocytes Academic Background Gene therapy has become a hot topic in medical research in recent years, especially for liver diseases. Due to the central role of the liver in metabolism, it has become a critical target for research. Although existing gene-editing te...

Study on Organ-Specific T Cell Differentiation in Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (AGVHD) Academic Background Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (AGVHD) is a common and severe complication following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HCT), caused by the immune attack of donor T cells on host tissues. Although the pathological mechanis...

HNRNPR-Mediated UPF3B mRNA Splicing Drives Hepatocellular Carcinoma Metastasis In recent years, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has become one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide due to its highly invasive and metastatic nature. The mechanisms underlying HCC metastasis are complex, with abnormal alternative splicing (AS) playing...

Potential Therapeutic Role of Dietary Isothiocyanate Compounds in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) Background and Significance of the Study Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) is a congenital, monogenic disease primarily caused by the misfolding of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) in the liver. This misfolding leads to two pathological effects: the...

Utilizing Bifurcated Allogeneic Vein Grafts to Prevent Sinistral Portal Hypertension Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy Academic Background Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor with a poor prognosis, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. The early invasive growth of pancreatic cancer often involves the portal vein system, particular...
