| 2 | A Comparison of the Bacterial Microflora between Coastal Sites in Qingdao, P.R. China and Loch Fyne, Scotland显示文摘Aerobic, heterotrophic bacteria, recovered from two sites located on the west coast of Scotland, were compared to cultures obtained in a similar way from industrial, aquacultural and clean sites in the vicinity of Qingdao, Shandong, P.R. China. Gram-negative bacterial cultures were examined by BIOLOG-GN, and the data analysed by the simple matching (S SM) and Jaccard coefficients (S J) and unweighted average linkage clustering using NTSys. The output revealed that 20% of the bacteria, namely, Acinetobacter johnsonii, Aquaspirillum dispar, Pseudomonas spp. (two groups), Sphingobacterium sp., Vibrio sp., V. campbellii, V. mimicus and V. hollisae, were common between the two geographical locations. However, the study revealed shortcomings with the BIOLOG-GN system for the study of coastal Gram-negative bacteria. | MacInnes J. Robertson P.A.W.

| 3 | Appendiceal mucocoeles and pseudomyxoma peritonei显示文摘Mucocoele of the appendix occurs when obstruction of the appendiceal lumen results in mucus accumulation and consequent abnormal dilatation. The most impor- tant aetiology, from a surgical perspective, is either mucinous cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. In the latter, a spontaneous or iatrogenic rupture of the mucocoele can lead to mucinous intraperitoneal ascites, a syndrome known as pseudomyxoma peritonei. Optimal management of mucoceles is achieved through accurate preoperative identification and subsequent careful resection. We report two cases and subsequently discuss the clinical presentation of mucocoeles, their association with pseudomyxoma peritonei and an optimal management of both conditions. | Anupam Dixit John HP Robertson Satvinder S Mudan Charles Akle | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,16: | 14 |
| 4 | 肌萎缩性侧索硬化蛋白激活小胶质细胞NLRP3炎性小体显示文摘小胶质细胞NLRP3炎性小体激活正在成为神经退行性变过程中神经炎症的关键因素。诸如β-淀粉样蛋白和α-突触核蛋白之类的致病性蛋白质聚集体触发小胶质NLRP3激活,从而导致半胱天冬酶-1激活和IL-1β的分泌。在小鼠肌萎缩性侧索硬化症(ALS)的SOD1G93A模型中,半胱天冬酶-1和IL-1β均促进疾病进展,提示小胶质NLRP3在该进程中发挥作用。然而先前的研究表明,SOD1G93A小鼠小胶质细胞不表达NLRP3,SOD1G93A蛋白在小胶质细胞中产生独立于NLRP3的IL-1β。本研究论证了使用Nlrp3-GFP基因敲入小鼠,在SOD1G93A小鼠中小胶质细胞表达NLRP3。本研究显示聚集和可溶性SOD1G93A均可激活小鼠原代小胶质细胞中的炎性小体,导致半胱天冬酶-1和IL-1β裂解,ASC斑点形成以及呈剂量和时间依赖性的IL-1β分泌。重要的是,SOD1G93A无法从缺乏Nlrp3的小胶质细胞或者用特异性NLRP3抑制剂MCC950预处理的小胶质细胞中诱导IL-1β分泌,从而证实NLRP3是介导SOD1诱导的小胶质细胞IL-1β分泌的关键炎症小体复合物。在TDP-43Q331K ALS小鼠模型中也观察到小胶质NLRP3上调,TDP-43野生型和突变蛋白亦可以NLRP3依赖性的方式激活小胶质炎性小体。从机制上讲,本研究确定了活性氧簇和ATP的生成是SOD1G93A介导的NLRP3激活所需的关键事件。总之,本研究的数据表明ALS小胶质细胞表达NLRP3,而病理ALS蛋白激活小胶质NLRP3炎性小体。因此,NLRP3抑制可能是阻止小胶质细胞神经炎症和ALS疾病进展的潜在治疗方法。 | Vandana Deora John D Lee Eduardo AAlbornoz Luke McAlary Cyril J Jagaraj Avril A B Robertson Julie D Atkin Matthew A Cooper Kate Schroder Justin J Yerbury Richard Gordon Trent MWoodruff 杜一星(编译) | 2020 | 神经损伤与功能重建2020,15,9: | 13 |
| 5 | 美国湿地保护制度变迁研究显示文摘本文提出了分析湿地保护制度变迁的理论框架,使不同国家的湿地保护制度研究能在统一语境下比较。首先基于科学计量学和系统研究方法筛选出公众、科学、政府和法律为影响湿地保护制度变迁的四个关键要素,并依赖博弈论工具建立了分析美国湿地保护制度的理论架构。基于这一架构,本文对包括关键利益相关者、政策执行路径、政策工具和管理挑战等内容的美国湿地政策史进行了讨论。对美国湿地保护制度的演化进行了四阶断之划分:'西进运动'与全民开垦(1900年之前)、'水鸟保护'与公众参与(1900-1970年)、核心法律与科学研究(1971-1980年)和完善制度与新的挑战(1980年至今)。分析得出如下结论:在湿地保护制度中,公众是源头、科学是前提、有效的政府管治和将湿地保护的规则和与政策制度化是关键。通过借鉴美国湿地保护制度变迁研究,本文构建了湿地保护制度变迁的'竹节模式'经验性模型,揭示了各动因之间的作用机理。虽然美国湿地保护制度也面临着公众教育、科学定义和政府管辖权等挑战,但中国的湿地管理者与政策制定者仍可从美国湿地政策执行的历史背景中吸取经验。同时本文的理论分析结构也可为自然资源及管理策略的研究提供参考。 | 陈溪 Magdeline Laba Robertson Morgan Barbara Cosens 王子彦 陈雪 James Anderson Marinus Otte Christopher Craft David Feldman 李杨帆 刘晶岚 Patrick Sullivan 吕宪国 | 2016 | 资源科学2016,38,4: | 13 |
| 6 | Return to sport following tibial plateau fractures: A systematic review显示文摘AIM To systemically review all studies reporting return to sport following tibial plateau fracture, in order to provide information on return rates and times to sport, and to assess variations in sporting outcome for different treatment methods.METHODS A systematic search of CINAHAL, Cochrane, EMBASE, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, PEDro, Scopus, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science was performed in January 2017 using the keywords 'tibial', 'plateau', 'fractures', 'knee', 'athletes', 'sports', 'non-operative', 'conservative', 'operative', 'return to sport'. All studies which recorded return rates and times to sport following tibial plateau fractures were included. RESULTS Twenty-seven studies were included: 1 was a randomised controlled trial, 7 were prospective cohort studies, 16 were retrospective cohort studies, 3 were case series. One study reported on the outcome of conservative management(n = 3); 27 reported on the outcome of surgical management(n = 917). Nine studies reported on Open Reduction Internal Fixation(ORIF)(n = 193), 11 on Arthroscopic-Assisted Reduction Internal Fixation(ARIF)(n = 253) and 7 on Frame-Assisted Fixation(FRAME)(n = 262). All studies recorded 'return to sport'rates. Only one study recorded a 'return to sport' time. The return rate to sport for the total cohort was 70%. For the conservatively-managed fractures, the return rate was 100%. For the surgically-managed fractures, the return rate was 70%. For fractures managed with ORIF, the return rate was 60%. For fractures managed with ARIF, the return rate was 83%. For fractures managed with FRAME was 52%. The return rate for ARIF was found to be significantly greater than that for ORIF(OR 3.22, 95%CI: 2.09-4.97, P < 0.001) and for FRAME(OR 4.33, 95%CI: 2.89-6.50, P < 0.001). No difference was found between the return rates for ORIF and FRAME(OR 1.35, 95%CI: 0.92-1.96, P = 0.122). The recorded return time was 6.9 mo(median), from a study reporting on ORIF.CONCLUSION Return rates to sport for tibial plateau fractures remain limited compared to other fractures. ARIF provides the best return rates. There is limited data regarding return times to sport. Further research is required to determine return times to sport, and to improve return rates to sport, through treatment and rehabilitation optimisation. | Greg A J Robertson Seng J Wong Alexander M Wood | 2017 | World Journal of Orthopedics2017,8,7: | 10 |

| 8 | AIMS65: A promising upper gastrointestinal bleeding risk score but further validation required显示文摘A novel upper gastrointestinal bleeding risk stratification score(AIMS65) has recently been developed and validated. It has advantages over existing risk scores including being easy to remember and lack of subjectivity in calculation. We comment on a recent study that has cast doubt on the applicability of AIMS65 in the peptic ulcer disease population. Although promising, further studies are required to evaluate the validity of AIMS65 in various populations. | Ray Boyapati Avik Majumdar Marcus Robertson | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,39: | 7 |
| 9 | 特朗普经济外交思想与实践:重返经济民族主义显示文摘美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的经济外交思想和政策深受经济民族主义影响,一切以美国利益为先。美国可能重回保护主义和重商主义的老路。特朗普已经明确表示不会遵从过去60年间美国的基本经济政策,排斥世界贸易组织,转向双边贸易协定谈判。特朗普对经济民族主义的笃信,对于美国各方面的政策和现存的自由世界秩序将会产生广泛而深远的影响。这种政策上的重大转变还会使得欧洲内部应对民粹主义、民族主义的斗争更加艰难。 | 张晓通 Ethan Robertson | 2017 | 边界与海洋研究2017,2,4: | 7 |
| 10 | Lower limb stress fractures in sport:Optimising their management and outcome显示文摘Stress fractures in sport are becoming increasing more common,comprising up to 10%of all of sporting injuries.Around 90%of such injuries are located in the lower limb.This articles aims to define the optimal management of lower limb stress fractures in the athlete,with a view to maximise return rates and minimise return times to sport.Treatment planning of this condition is specific to the location of the injury.However,there remains a clear division of stress fractures by'high'and'low'risk.'Low risk'stress fractures are those with a low probability of fracture propagation,delayed union,or non-union,and so can be managed reliably with rest and exercise limitation.These include stress fractures of the PosteroMedial Tibial Diaphysis,Metatarsal Shafts,Distal Fibula,Medial Femoral Neck,Femoral Shaft and Calcaneus.'High risk'stress fractures,in contrast,have increased rates of fracture propagation,displacement,delayed and non-union,and so require immediate cessation of activity,with orthopaedic referral,to assess the need for surgical intervention.These include stress fractures of the Anterior Tibial Diaphysis,Fifth Metatarsal Base,Medial Malleolus,Lateral Femoral Neck,Tarsal Navicular and Great Toe Sesamoids.In order to establish the optimal methods for managing these injuries,we present and review the current evidence which guides the treatment of stress fractures in athletes.From this,we note an increased role for surgical management of certain high risk stress fractures to improve return times and rates to sport.Following this,key recommendations are provided for the management of the common stress fracture types seen in the athlete.Five case reports are also presented to illustrate the application of sportfocussed lower limb stress fracture treatment in the clinical setting. | Greg A J Robertson Alexander M Wood | 2017 | World Journal of Orthopedics2017,8,3: | 7 |
| 11 | 中国农村地区居民蔬菜的纤维含量和摄入状况的研究显示文摘目的了解中国不同地区农村居民主要摄入的蔬菜类食物的膳食纤维含量分布特点。方法利用1983年的全国65个县生态学调查资料,整理农村居民主要摄入的蔬菜类食物的膳食纤维数据,用均值和标准差来表达不同食物的膳食纤维含量值。按照国务院'十一五'规划中全国8个区域的划分设计,用方差分析和组间两两比较的Q检验分析同一种蔬菜膳食纤维含量在不同地区间的差异。结果不同蔬菜类食物的消费在全国的分布是不同的,其中只有萝卜、芸豆、茄子、红辣椒、南瓜、萝卜缨、油菜、大白菜、圆白菜、芹菜和韭菜的食用范围在全国分布较广,其它蔬菜类则仅限于部分地区食用。各种食物中膳食纤维和/或其单体的含量分布也存在不均衡的现象,其中萝卜、芸豆、红辣椒、南瓜、葫芦、圆白菜、甜土豆叶、菠菜和韭菜的纤维或其单体的含量在不同地区间存在明显差异(P<0.01,P<0.05)。用该数据对中国农村居民1982、1992和2002年的营养调查数据进行分析评价,农村居民每标准人日通过蔬菜类食物的膳食纤维摄入量随时间而降低,分别占AI值的32.7%、32.2%和29.7%。结论不同蔬菜类食物的消费在全国的分布是不平衡的,且其膳食纤维含量在不同地区间存在显著差异。 | 杨月欣 何梅 王光亚 Robertson J VanSoest P 陈君石 | 2007 | 卫生研究2007,36,6: | 6 |
| 12 | Quantitative Variation in Water-Use Efficiency across Water Regimes and Its Relationship with Circadian, Vegetative, Reproductive, and Leaf Gas-Exchange Traits显示文摘干旱限制点亮收获,导致更低的植物生长和复制。为植物干旱反应重要的一个特点是水使用效率(WUE ) 。我们调查了( 1 ) WUE ,繁殖字符,和植物的特点的联合基因体系结构怎么越过干旱和浇得好的条件变化了,( 2 )是否有不同的发展的库的特点(例如叶气体交换对复制)在他们的基因体系结构的环境敏感不同,并且( 3 )在生理节奏的时期的量的变化是否与在 Brassica rapa 的干旱反应有关。总的来说, WUE 在干旱增加了,首先有气孔的传导力,并且因此浇损失,多于碳固定衰退了。有在干旱的最高的 WUE 的遗传型处于浇得好的条件表示了最低 WUE,并且在两个处理有最大的植物、花的机关。因此,在 WUE 的大变化使一些遗传型能越过环境接近植物、繁殖的特点 optima。基因建筑学越过干旱和浇得好的条件为煤气交换、植物的特点,然而并非为花的特点不同。关联在之间生理节奏并且叶煤气交换的特点是重要的,但是没越过处理变化,显示那个生理节奏的句号不管水可获得性影响生理的功能。这些结果建议 WUE 为在 Brassica rapa 的干旱忍耐是重要的并且为在干旱的增加的 WUE 的人工的选择不导致与 WUE 被相关的另外的特点的不适应的表示。 | Christine E.

| 13 | 心率作为冠心病与左室收缩障碍患者的预后危险因素(BEAUTIFUL):一项随机、对照试验的一个亚组分析显示文摘背景BEAUTIFUL研究对降心率药物伊伐布雷定的发病率与病死率收益进行了评估。BEAUTIFUL试验中的安慰剂组是由稳定型冠心病与左室收缩功能障碍的大型患者队列组成。我们对该安慰剂组进行了亚组分析,旨在检验这样一种假设,即基线静息心率升高是心血管疾病发病与死亡的标志。
方法采用Cox比例风险模型,对心率≥70次/min患者(2693例)以及〈70次/min患者(2745例)进行对比,分析基线静息心率与心血管结局之间的关系。将心率作为一个连续变量,并采用更为精细的心率分类进行其他分析。
结果在对基线特征进行校正后,心率≥70次/min患者的心血管疾病死亡(34%,P=0.0041)、心力衰竭入院(53%,P=0.0001)、心肌梗死入院(46%,P=0.0066)及冠状动脉血运重建(38%,P=0.037)风险升高。心率每升高5次/min,患者的心血管疾病死亡(8%,P=0.0005)、心力衰竭入院(16%.P〈0.0001)、心肌梗死入院(7%,P=0.052)及冠状动脉血运重建(8%,P=0.034)风险亦升高。对心率精细分组的分析表明,心率〉70次/min患者的病死率与心力衰竭发生率持续升高,但这种相关性在冠状动脉结局方面并不显著。对于心力衰竭结局而言,静息心率对早期事件的预测价值较晚期事件的预测价值更强。
结论在冠心病和左室收缩功能障碍的患者中,心率升高(≥70次/min)意味着心血管疾病结局风险升高,同时对心力衰竭相关性结局与冠状动脉事件相关性结局有着不同的影响。 | Kim Fox Ian Ford P Gabriel Steg Michal Tendera Michele Robertson Roberto Ferrari 罗亮(译) | 2008 | 世界临床医学2008,2,6: | 5 |

| 15 | 玉米秸青贮和皇草青贮营养价值的比较研究显示文摘江西省地处亚热带季风气候区,春夏季节雨水充沛,牧草生长旺盛,产草量高,饲草供应充足,而在秋末至春初,由于秋季干旱和冬季寒冷的影响,牧草供应则较为短缺。因此,饲草的周年充足供应问题成了山西省肉牛生产中一个急待解决的课题,而牧草的调制(青贮和干草晒制)可以将旺季多余的牧草贮藏起来以保证牛在饲草短缺季节有充足的草料供应。与其它的调制方法相比,从营养价值方面考虑将牧草进行青贮似乎更具有优势,它可以减少营养物质的损失。本研究分别用玉米青贮料和皇草青贮料作为生长肉牛的基础饲料以比较它们各自的营养价值。 | 何余勇 谢国强 程树芳 石庆华 Bevan Robertson | 2003 | 黄牛杂志2003,29,5: | 4 |
| 16 | Hip hemi-arthroplasty for neck of femur fracture:What is the current evidence?显示文摘This editorial reviews and summarises the current evidence(meta-analyses and Cochrane reviews) relating to the use of hip hemi-arthroplasty for neck of femur fractures. Regarding the optimal surgical approach,two recent meta-analyses have found that posterior approaches are associated with: higher rates of dislocation compared to lateral and anterior approaches; and higher rates of re-operation compared to lateral approaches. Posterior approaches should therefore be avoided when performing hip hemi-arthroplasty procedures. Assessing the optimal prosthesis head component,three recent meta-analyses and one Cochrane review have found that while unipolar hemiarthroplasty can be associated with increased rates of acetabular erosion at short-term follow-up(up to 1 year),there is no significant difference between the unipolar hemi-arthroplasty and bipolar hemi-arthroplasty for surgical outcome,complication profile,functional outcome and acetabular erosion rates at longer-term follow-up(2 to 4 years). With bipolar hemi-arthroplasty being the more expensive prosthesis,unipolar hemi-arthroplasty is the recommended option. With regards to the optimal femoral stem insertion technique,three recent metaanalyses and one Cochrane Review have found that,while cemented hip hemi-arthroplasties are associated with a longer operative time compared to uncemented Hip Hemi-arthroplasties,cemented prostheses have lower rates of implant-related complications(particularly peri-prosthetic femoral fracture) and improved postoperative outcome regarding residual thigh pain and mobility. With no significant difference found between the two techniques for medical complications and mortality,cemented hip hemi-arthroplasty would appear to be the superior technique. On the topic of wound closure,one recent meta-analysis has found that,while staples can result in a quicker closure time,there is no significant difference in post-operative infections rates or wound healing outcomes when comparing staples to sutures. Therefore,either suture or staple wound closure techniques appear equally appropriate for hip hemiarthroplasty procedures. | Greg AJ Robertson Alexander M Wood | 2018 | World Journal of Orthopedics2018,9,11: | 4 |
| 17 | Prognostic significance of hepatic encephalopathy in patients with cirrhosis treated with current standards of care显示文摘BACKGROUND Hepatic encephalopathy(HE)is a reversible neuropsychiatric complication of liver cirrhosis and occurs in up to 50%of cirrhotic patients.Studies examining the prognostic significance of HE are limited despite the high prevalence in cirrhosis.AIM To define the clinical outcomes of patients after an episode of HE treated with current standards-of-care.METHODS All patients hospitalised with HE requiring Rifaximin to 3 tertiary centres over46-mo(2012–2016)were identified via pharmacy dispensing records.Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and those prescribed Rifaximin prior to admission were excluded.Medical records were reviewed to determine baseline characteristics and survival.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival probability.Univariate survival analysis was performed with variables reaching statistical significance included in a multivariate analysis.The primary outcome was 12-mo mortality following commencement of Rifaximin.RESULTS188 patients were included.Median age was 57 years(IQR 50-65),71%were male and median model for end stage liver disease and Child Pugh scores were 25(IQR 18-31)and 11(IQR 9-12)respectively.The most common causes of cirrhosis were alcohol(62%),hepatitis C(31%)and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(20%).A precipitating cause for HE was found in 92%patients with infection(43%),GI bleeding(16%),medication non-compliance(15%)and electrolyte imbalance(14%)the most common.During a mean follow up period of 12±13 mo 107(57%)patients died and 32(17%)received orthotopic liver transplantation.Themost common causes of death were decompensated chronic liver disease(57%)and sepsis(19%).The probability of survival was 44%and 35%at 12-and 24-mo respectively.At multivariate analysis a model for end stage liver disease>15 and international normalised ratio reached statistical significance in predicting mortality.CONCLUSION Despite advances made in the management of HE patients continue to have poor survival.Thus,in all patients presenting with HE the appropriateness of orthotopic liver transplantation should be considered. | Anuj Bohra Thomas Worland Samuel Hui Ryma Terbah Ann Farrell Marcus Robertson | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,18: | 4 |
| 18 | GIScience research challenges for realizing discrete global grid systems as a Digital Earth显示文摘Increasing data resources are available for documenting and detecting changes in environmental,ecological,and socioeconomic processes.Currently,data are distributed across a wide variety of sources(e.g.data silos)and published in a variety of formats,scales,and semantic representations.A key issue,therefore,in building systems that can realize a vision of earth system monitoring remains data integration.Discrete global grid systems(DGGSs)have emerged as a key technology that can provide a common multi-resolution spatial fabric in support of Digital Earth monitoring.However,DGGSs remain in their infancy with many technical,conceptual,and operational challenges.With renewed interest in DGGS brought on by a recently proposed standard,the demands of big data,and growing needs for monitoring environmental changes across a variety of scales,we seek to highlight current challenges that we see as central to moving the field(s)and technologies of DGGS forward.For each of the identified challenges,we illustrate the issue and provide a potential solution using a reference DGGS implementation.Through articulation of these challenges,we hope to identify a clear research agenda,expand the DGGS research footprint,and provide some ideas for moving forward towards a scaleable Digital Earth vision.Addressing such challenges helps the GIScience research community to achieve the real benefits of DGGS and provides DGGS an opportunity to play a role in the next generation of GIS. | Majid Hojati Colin Robertson Steven Roberts Chiranjib Chaudhuri | 2022 | Big Earth Data2022,6,3: | 4 |
| 19 | ERODIBILITY CRITERION FOR AUXILIARY SPILLWAYS OF DAMS显示文摘The ability to reliably design auxiliary spillways has become a pressing requirement because of the very large number of dams involved. An empirical classification index representing the erosional resistance of the overall range of particulate, jointed, and intact earth materials is presented and correlated for a number of practical cases from Arkansas and Kansas in the United States of America and from South Africa with the specific stream power of flows observed to be associated with various degrees of erosion. The United States Department of Agriculture data base and the format in which the dare were prepared for the purposes herein, are deseribed in detail. The modes of erosion that occur in spillways are defined.Guidelines are provided for evaluating the failure status of an erosion damaged spillway that enables determination of whether the incident specific stream power exceeded, equalled, or fell below the erosional resistance of various sections of the ground profile affected. The correlation function between specific stream power and erodibility index provides the required design criterion. | Hendrik A. D.

| 20 | Radiological response and inflammation scores predict tumour recurrence in patients treated with transarterial chemoembolization before liver transplantation显示文摘AIM To investigate the prognostic value of the radiological response after transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)and inflammatory markers in patients affected by hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)awaiting liver transplantation(LT).METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the preoperative pre dictors of HCC recurrence in 70 patients treated with conventional(n=16)or doxorubicin-eluting bead TACE(n=54)before LT.The patient and tumour characteristics,including the static and dynamic alpha-fetoprotein,neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio( LR)measurements,were recorded.Treatment response was classified according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours(m RECIST)and the European Association for the Study of the Liver(EASL)criteria as complete response(CR),partial response( R),stable disease o progressive disease.After examination of the explanted livers,histological necrosis was classified as complete(100%of the cumulative tumour area),partia(50%-99%)or minimal(<50%)and was correlated with the preoperative radiological findings.RESULTS According to the pre-TACE radiological evaluation,22/70(31.4%)and 12/70(17.1%)patients were beyond Milan and University of San Francisco(UCSF)criteria,respectively.After TACE procedures,the objective response(CR+ R)rates were 71.4%and 70.0%according to m RECIST and EASL criteria,respectively.The agreement between the two guidelines in defining the radiological response was rated as very good both for the overall and target lesion response(weighted k-value:0.98 and 0.93,respectively).Complete and partial histological necrosis were achieved in 14/70(20.0%)and 28/70(40.0%)patients,respectively.Using histopathology as the reference standard,m RECIST criteria correctly classified necrosis in 72.9%(51/70)of patients and EASL criteria in 68.6%(48/70)of cases.The m RECIST non-response to TACE[Exp(b)=9.2, =0.012],exceeding UCSF criteria before TACE[Exp(b)=4.7, =0.033]and a preoperative LR>150[Exp(b)=5.9, =0.046]were independent predictors of tumour recurrence.CONCLUSION The radiological response and inflammatory markers are predictive of tumour recurrence and allow the proper selection of TACE-treated candidates for LT. | Daniele Nicolini Andrea Agostini Roberto Montalti Federico Mocchegiani Cinzia Mincarelli Alessandra Mandolesi Nicola L Robertson Roberto Candelari Andrea Giovagnoni Marco Vivarelli | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,20: | 4 |
