The in-depth histopathological/immunohistochemical examination of the autonomic nervous system performed at the “Lino Rossi” Research Center of the Milan University on a wide group of sudden unexpected fetal and infant deaths, highlighted the frequent hypodevelopment of brainstem structures checking the vital functions associated to altered expression of <i>α</i>7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and smoke absorption in pregnancy. A dysregulation of the catecholamine system was also observed in the cerebellar cortex of the same cases. However, in a not negligible percentage of sudden deaths with altered expression of <i>α</i>7-nicotinic receptors, the mothers never smoked but lived in rural areas. Specific analytical procedures showed the presence of agricultural pesticides in cerebral cortex samples of these victims. Therefore, it is possible to believe that the exposition to pesticides during pregnancy can produce the same harmful effects as nicotine on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Moreover, alterations of <i>α</i>7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors receptor expression were also detected in the lungs of many sudden perinatal death victims, allowing to consider even these findings as possible consequence of maternal exposure to toxic factors.展开更多

文摘Background:Laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy of segment 7(LAH-S7)is a challenging surgery.In this study we aimed to investigate surgical and oncological outcomes of various approaches of LAH-S7 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).A particular focus was placed on identifying the Glissonean pedicle of segment 7(G7)and the intersegmental plane.Given the scarcity of comprehensive reviews or comparative studies on clinical outcomes,we also sought to analyze the experiences and advantages associated with different approaches in relation to the anatomic variations of G7.Methods:The clinical data of 124 patients who underwent LAH-S7 for HCC across seven tertiary referral medical centers in China were retrospectively analyzed.Three surgical approaches were categorized based on the procedures used for G7 identification:the indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence positive staining approach(IFPA),the Glissonean approach(GA),and the hepatic vein-guided approach(HVGA).Subsequently,the postoperative short-term results and oncological outcomes of the three different approaches were compared.Results:The distribution of surgical approaches among the patients was as follows:IFPA in 16(12.9%),GA in 62(50.0%),and HVGA in 46(37.1%)patients.Complications were observed in 27(21.8%)patients.The 1-,3-,and 5-year overall survival(OS)rates were 99.1%,89.2%,and 84.7%,respectively.The 1-,3-,and 5-year recurrence-free survival(RFS)rates were 99.0%,84.7%,and 69.3%,respectively.The OS and RFS rates were comparable across the three approaches.Conclusions:Following a standardized surgical procedure,LAH-S7 is demonstrated to be safe and yields favorable oncological outcomes.Surgeons performing LAH-S7 should select the appropriate surgical approach based on the anatomical characteristics and variations of G7.
文摘In the last century the impacts of human activity on natural processes that sustain the Earth’s biosphere,atmosphere,hydrosphere and lithosphere and that provide the bed-rock of human life support systems,have grown to the extent that they pose a credible existential threat to humanity.Today,the biggest challenge for science,technology and innovation(STI)is to contribute to the pursuit of global sustainability as exemplified in the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)that were adopted by the United Nations(UN)in 2015.
文摘The rapid development of analytics and concepts in big data enables us to diversify our efforts and enhance opportunities to implement the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).Big data improves the extent to which scientific evidence and innova-tive technological solutions can be adopted to meet these goals.However,the tools and methods of big data are still somewhat of a novelty in this respect.
