Open AccessShort-term outcomes of robotic versus open hepatectomy among overweight patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: a propensity score-matched study
Robotic hepatectomy (RH) has gradually been accepted as it has overcome some of the limitations of open hepatectomy (OH). This study was to compare short-term outcomes in RH and OH for overweight (preoperative...

Open AccessFirst-principle study of structural, electronic and magnetic properties of (FeC)n (n = 1–8) and (FeC)8TM (TM = V, Cr, Mn and Co) clusters
The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the (FeC)n (n = 1–8) clusters are studied using the unbiased CALYPSO structure search method and density functional theory. A combination of the PBE functiona...

Dicer1/miR-29/HMGCR axis contributes to hepatic free cholesterol accumulation in mouse non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
Dicer1 is an enzyme essential for microRNA (miRNA) maturation. The loss of miRNAs resulted from Dicer1 deficiency greatly contributes to the progression of many diseases, including lipid dysregulation, but its ro...

MicroRNA-1304 suppresses human non-small cell lung cancer cell growth in vitro by targeting heme oxygenase-1
Previous studies have shown that microRNA-1304 (miR-1304) is dysregulated in certain types of cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and might be involved in tumor survival and/or growth. In th...

Hepatic cytochrome P450s play a major role in monocrotaline-induced renal toxicity in mice
Monocrotaline (MCT) in plants of the genus Crotalaria induces significant toxicity in multiple organs including the liver, lung and kidney. Metabolic activation of MCT is required for MCT-induced toxicity. In thi...
