1First observation of tropospheric nitrogen dioxide from the Environmental Trace Gases Monitoring Instrument onboard the GaoFen-5 satellite显示文摘The Environmental Trace Gases Monitoring Instrument(EMI)is the first Chinese satellite-borne UV–Vis spectrometer aiming to measure the distribution of atmospheric trace gases on a global scale.The EMI instrument onboard the GaoFen-5 satellite was launched on 9 May 2018.In this paper,we present the tropospheric nitrogen dioxide(NO2)vertical column density(VCD)retrieval algorithm dedicated to EMI measurement.We report the first successful retrieval of tropospheric NO_(2) VCD from the EMI instrument.Our retrieval improved the original EMI NO_(2) prototype algorithm by modifying the settings of the spectral fit and air mass factor calculations to account for the on-orbit instrumental performance changes.The retrieved EMI NO_(2) VCDs generally show good spatiotemporal agreement with the satellite-borne Ozone Monitoring Instrument and TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument(correlation coefficient R of ~0.9,bias<50%).A comparison with ground-based MAX-DOAS(Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy)observations also shows good correlation with an R of 0.82.The results indicate that the EMI NO_(2) retrieval algorithm derives reliable and precise results,and this algorithm can feasibly produce stable operational products that can contribute to global air pollution monitoring.Chengxin Zhang Cheng Liu Ka Lok Chan Qihou Hu Haoran Liu Bo Li Chengzhi Xing Wei Tan Haijin Zhou Fuqi Si Jianguo Liu 2020Light(Science & Applications)2020,9,1:11
2Update in management of hepatocellular carcinoma in Eastern population显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is one of the commonest malignant tumours in the East. Although the management of HCC in the West is mainly based on the Barcelona Clinic for Liver Cancer staging, it is considered too conservative by Asian countries where the number of HCC patients is huge. Scientific and clinical advances were made in aspects of diagnosis, staging, and treatment of HCC. HCC is well known to be associated with cirrhosis and the treatment of HCC must take into account the presence and stage of chronic liver disease. The major treatment modalities of HCC include:(1) surgical resection;(2) liver transplantation;(3) local ablation therapy;(4) transarterial locoregional treatment; and(5) systemic treatment. Among these, resection, liver transplantation and ablation therapy for small HCC are considered as curative treatment. Portal vein embolisation and the associating liver partition with portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy may reduce dropout in patients with marginally resectable disease but the midterm and long-term results are still to be confirmed. Patient selection for the best treatment modality is the key to success of treatment of HCC. The purpose of current review is to provide a description of the current advances in diagnosis, staging, preoperative liver function assessment and treatment options for patients with HCC in the east.Kevin Ka Wan Chu Tan To Cheung 2015World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,11:8
3A review on radiofrequency,microwave and high-intensity focused ultrasound ablations for hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis显示文摘Importance:Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is usually accompanied by liver cirrhosis,which makes treatment of this disease challenging.Liver transplantation theoretically provides an ultimate solution to the disease,but the maximal surgical stress and the scarcity of liver graft make this treatment option impossible for some patients.In an ideal situation,a treatment that is safe and effective should provide a better outcome for patients with the dilemma.Objective:This article aims to give a comprehensive review of various types of loco-ablative treatment for HCC.Evidence Review:Loco-ablative treatment bridges the gap between surgical resection and transarterial chemotherapy.Various types of ablative therapy have their unique ability,and evidence-based outcome analysis is the most important key to assisting clinicians to choose the most suitable treatment modality for their patients.Findings:Radiofrequency ablation(RFA)has a relatively longer history and more evidence to support its effectiveness.Microwave ablation(MWA)is gaining momentum because of its shorter ablation time and consistent ablation zone.High-intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)ablation is a relatively new technology that provides non-invasive treatment for patients with HCC.It has been carried out at centers of excellence and it is a safe and effective treatment option for selected patients with HCC and liver cirrhosis.Conclusion and Relevance:Selective use of different loco-ablative therapies will enhance clinicians’treatment options for treatment of HCC.Tan To Cheung Ka Wing Ma Wong Hoi She 2021Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2021,10,2:6
4Impact of small-for-size liver grafts on medium-term and long-term graft survival in living donor liver transplantation: A meta-analysis显示文摘BACKGROUND Small-for-size grafts (SFSGs) in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) could optimize donor postoperative outcomes and also expand the potential donor pool. Evidence on whether SFSGs would affect medium-term and long-term recipient graft survival is lacking. AIM To evaluate the impact of small-for-size liver grafts on medium-term and longterm graft survival in adult to adult LDLT. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed by searching eligible studies published before January 24, 2019 on PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases. The primary outcomes were 3-year and 5-year graft survival. Incidence of small-for-size syndrome and short term mortality were also extracted. RESULTS This meta-analysis is reported according to the guidelines of the PRISMA 2009 Statement. Seven retrospective observational studies with a total of 1821 LDLT recipients were included in the meta-analysis. SFSG is associated with significantly poorer medium-term graft survival. The pooled odds ratio for 3-year graft survival was 1.58 [95% confidence interval 1.10-2.29, P = 0.014]. On the other hand, pooled results of the studies showed that SFSG had no significant discriminatory effect on 5-year graft survival with an odds ratio of 1.31 (95% confidence interval 0.87-1.97, P = 0.199). Furthermore, incidence of small-for-size syndrome detected in recipients of SFSG ranged from 0-11.4% in the included studies. CONCLUSION SFSG is associated with inferior medium-term but not long-term graft survival. Comparable long-term graft survival based on liver graft size shows that smaller grafts could be accepted for LDLT with appropriate flow modulatory measures. Close follow-up for graft function is warranted within 3 years after liver transplantation.Ka Wing Ma Kelly Hiu Ching Wong Albert Chi Yan Chan Tan To Cheung Wing Chiu Dai James Yan Yue Fung Wong Hoi She Chung Mau Lo Kenneth Siu Ho Chok 2019World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,36:3
5Role of C11-FDG dual-tracer PET-CT scan in metastatic screening of hepatocellular carcinoma-a cost-effectiveness analysis显示文摘Background:We aimed to identify predictive factors for positron emission tomography(PET)-detected hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)metastasis and a cost-effective approach to preoperative PET-computed tomography(CT)for detecting metastasis.Methods:Clinicopathological and survival data of HCC patients having PET-CT with 18F-fludeoxyglucose(FDG)and 11C-acetate(ACT)following contrast-enhanced CT/magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)for preoperative tumor staging were reviewed.Binary logistic regression was performed to identify predictive factors for PET-detected metastasis.A cost-benefit analysis model was built for the incurred costs and the impact of PET-CT findings on treatment strategy was studied.Results:Totally 152 patients were analyzed.Dual-tracer PET-CT detected metastasis in 17 patients(11%).By multivariate analysis,alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)≥400 ng/mL[relative risk(RR):4.30,95%confidence interval(CI):1.41-13.15,P=0.011]and bilobar disease(RR:3.94,95%CI:1.24-12.52,P=0.014)were independent predictive factors for PET-detected metastasis.PET-CT findings altered the treatment strategy for 12 patients(7.9%);three partial hepatectomies,eight episodes of transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)and one episode of ablation were avoided,with an estimated cost-saving of US$91,000,$150,000 and$10,600 respectively.Had the PET-CT been performed only for patients with AFP≥400 ng/mL or bilobar disease(n=74),metastasis would have been confirmed in 14 patients(18.9%),and the cost-saving per patient was estimated at US$1,070.Conclusions:Dual-tracer PET-CT is cost-effective and useful for preoperative HCC staging in patients with AFP≥400 ng/mL or bilobar disease.Its routine use in preoperative workup for all HCC patients is not recommended.Unilobar disease with AFP<400 ng/mL can achieve good negative predictive value for PET-detected metastasis.Screening patients with either factor can avoid unnecessary procedures and is thus cost-effective for preoperative HCC workup.Kevin K.W.Chu Albert C.Y.Chan Ka Wing Ma Wong Hoi She Wing Chiu Dai Kenneth S.H.Chok Tan To Cheung Chung Mau Lo 2021Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2021,10,3:2
6Liver transplantation:would it be the best and last chance of cure for hepatocellular carcinoma with major venous invasion?显示文摘Background:Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)with portal vein tumour thrombus(PVTT)signifies advanced disease,whether LT confers any survival superiority over resection remains uncertain.Methods:A propensity score matched(PSM)analysis of liver transplantation(LT)and liver resection(LR)for HCC with PVTT was performed.Results:A consecutive series of 88 patients who received either LT(10 DDLTs and 3 LDLTs)or LR(n=75)respectively were recruited.Before PSM,the LT group has a higher MELD score(17.3 vs.7.8,P<0.001),lower serum AFP levels(96 vs.2,164 ng/mL,P=0.017)and smaller tumour size(4 vs.10 cm,P<0.001).The 5-year overall survival for LT and LR were 55.4%and 15.9%respectively(P=0.007).After matching for serum AFP levels and tumour size,1-,3-and 5-year overall survival for LT were 81 ng/mL,3.9 cm,80%,70%and 70%and the corresponding rates for LR were 1,417 ng/mL,5.3 cm,51.8%,19,6%and 9.8%(P value=0.12,0.27 and 0.009 respectively).Conclusions:LT is associated with significantly better oncological outcomes in HCC patients with PVTT involving the lobar or segmental level.A modest expansion of selection criteria to include small HCC with segmental PVTT should be considered.Ka Wing Ma Albert Chi Yan Chan Kenneth Siu Ho Chok Wong Hoi She Tan To Cheung Wing Chiu Dai James Yan Yue Fung Chung Mau Lo 2021Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2021,10,3:2
7A murine model for human immune thrombocytopenic purpura and comparative analysis of multiple gene expression in bone marrow and spleen显示文摘Homeostasis of platelet number in human and other mammals is well maintained for prevention of minor bleeding and for other immunological functions,but the exact molecular mechanism responsible for immune thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) has not been fully understood.In an effort to identify genetic factors involved in initiation of platelet production in response to bleeding injury or platelet destruction,we have successfully generated an animal model of human ITP via intraperitoneal injection of anti-platelet antibody into the Balb/c mouse.Platelet counts were dropped dramatically in animals that received antibody injection within 4 h,maintained at the mini-mum level for a period of 44 h,started to rebound after 48 h,and reached to the maximum at 144 h(6 days).Final homeostasis reached at approximately 408 h(17 days),following a minor cycle of platelet number fluctuation.Using semi-quantitative RT-PCR,we assessed and compared mRNA level of CD41,c-myb,c-mpl,caspase-3,caspase-9,GATA-1,and Bcl-xl in bone marrow and spleen.Alteration of mRNA expression was correlated with the change of platelet level,and an inverse relationship was found for expression of the genes between bone marrow and spleen.No transcription was detectable for any of the seven genes in bone marrow at the time when platelet number reached the maximum(144 h).In contrast,mRNA transcripts of the seven genes were found to be at the highest level in spleen tissue.This is the first study of simultaneous detection of multiple platelet related genes in a highly reproducible ITP animal model.Our results provided the supportive evidence that expression of the above seven genes are more related to negative regulation of platelet number in spleen tissue,at least in the model animals.Hong Wei Xinchun Ding Jiangong Ren Ka Liu Pingping Tan Daquan Li Runlin Z.

8Validated model for prediction of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation in Asian population显示文摘BACKGROUND Liver transplantation(LT) is regarded as the best treatment for both primary and recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Post-transplant HCC recurrence rate is relatively low but significant, ranging from 10%-30% according to different series. When recurrence happens, it is usually extrahepatic and associated with poor prognosis. A predictive model that allows patient stratification according to recurrence risk can help to individualize post-transplant surveillance protocol and guidance of the use of anti-tumor immunosuppressive agents.AIM To develop a scoring system to predict HCC recurrence after LT in an Asian population.METHODS Consecutive patients having LT for HCC from 1995 to 2016 at our hospital were recruited. They were randomized into the training set and the validation set in a60:40 ratio. Multivariable Cox regression model was used to identity factors associated with HCC recurrence. A risk score was assigned to each factor according to the odds ratio. Accuracy of the score was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.RESULTS In total, 330 patients were eligible for analysis(183 in training and 147 invalidation). Recurrent HCC developed in 14.2% of them. The median follow-up duration was 65.6 mo. The 5-year disease-free and overall survival rates were78% and 80%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, alpha-fetoprotein > 400 ng/mL [P = 0.012, hazard ratio(HR) 2.92], sum of maximum tumor size and number(P = 0.013, HR 1.15), and salvage LT(P = 0.033, HR 2.08) were found to be independent factors for disease-free survival. A risk score was calculated for each patient with good discriminatory power(c-stat 0.748 and 0.85, respectively,in the training and validation sets). With the derived scores, patients were classified into low-(0–9), moderate-(> 9–14), and high-risk groups(> 14), and the risk of HCC recurrence in the training and validation sets was 10%, 20%, 54%(cstat 0.67) and 4%, 22%, 62%(c-stat 0.811), accordingly. The risk stratification model was validated with chi-squared goodness-of-fit test(P = 0.425).CONCLUSION A validated predictive model featuring alpha-fetoprotein, salvage LT, and the sum of largest tumor diameter and total number of tumor nodule provides simple and reliable guidance for individualizing postoperative surveillance strategy.Ka Wing Ma Wong Hoi She Albert Chi Yan Chan Tan To Cheung James Yan Yue Fung Wing Chiu Dai Chung Mau Lo Kenneth Siu Ho Chok 2019World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2019,11,4:2
