Review Meta Analysis
Modified Glasgow prognostic score might be a prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma: a meta-analysis.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth-most common cancer. Recent studies have demonstrated that there was a relationship between modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) and survival of HCC. However, the results were inconsistent. ⋯ In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that mGPS might be an independent prognostic factor for HCC.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects on cognitive function of propofol medium and long chain lipid emulsion in patients with hepatic encephalopathy.
Our study aimed to investigate the effects of propofol medium and long chain lipid emulsion on cognitive function of the patients with hepatic encephalopathy undergoing hemofiltration treatment. ⋯ Based on our results we found that propofol medium-long chain lipid emulsion can significantly improve the curative effect of hemofiltration on patients with hepatic encephalopathy, and can also improve their cognitive function. We recommend the use of this propofol emulsion when considering hemofiltration treatment in this group of patients.
