[Advances in the study of occult malignant tumor-related pyogenic liver abscesses in the digestive system].
Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) accompanied by occult malignant tumors is a rare kind of life-threatening disease. Studies have shown that it can predict the occurrence of cancer, especially hepatobiliary and colorectal cancer. The risk of combined occult primary liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and gastrointestinal cancer is high in PLA patients. ⋯ Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli is the main microorganism of PLA related to colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. PLA treatment related to hepatobiliary malignant tumor has high complications and mortality, and poor prognosis. Most occult colorectal cancers are in the early stage, and their early detection and prognosis are better than those of PLA patients combined with hepatobiliary malignancies.

[Screening core genes and cyclin B2 as a potential diagnosis, treatment and prognostic biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma based on bioinformatics analysis].
Objective: To screen out and explore the core gene (Hub gene) involvement and the potential role of cyclin B2 (CCNB2) in the development and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through bioinformatics methods. Methods: Four HCC-related datasets were screened, and downloaded from the GEO database. GEO2R tool was used to analyze data and identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). ⋯ RT-qPCR results showed that CCNB2 was highly expressed in human HCC tissues and cell lines (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Successfully screened DEGs and core genes related to HCC. Among them, CCNB2 is highly expressed in HCC and is related to the survival and prognosis of patients, so it is expected to become a biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC.

[Impact of portal vein thrombosis on the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in preventing re-bleeding from ruptured gastroesophageal varices in hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis].
Objective: To explore whether portal vein thrombosis affects the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in preventing re-bleeding from ruptured gastroesophageal varices in hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis. Methods: Hospitalized patients who received endoscopic therapy to prevent re-bleeding from ruptured gastroesophageal varices due to hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis during 2013 to 2017 were selected, and followed up for 1 year after treatment for re-bleeding and survival status. Patients were divided into thrombotic and non-thrombotic group according to whether they were combined with portal vein thrombosis at the time of initial admission. ⋯ Analysis of the location of portal vein thrombosis showed that the bleeding rate in the main portal trunk, left and right branches and superior mesenteric vein had increased significantly after endoscopic treatment, while the splenic vein had no effect on the bleeding after endoscopic treatment. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis indicated that age (HR 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01-1.09, P = 0.02) and thrombosis in the main portal trunk, left and right branches (HR 4.95, 95% CI: 2.05-11.95, P < 0.01) were independent risk factors for re-bleeding at 1 year after endoscopic treatment. Conclusion: Portal vein thrombosis is an independent risk factor that affects the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in preventing re-bleeding from ruptured gastroesophageal varices in hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis and the risk of re-bleeding increases significantly after endoscopic treatment in patients with thrombosis.

[Clinical study of yiqi huoxue recipe in the treatment of liver fibrosis of chronic viral hepatitis].
Objective: To clarify the clinical efficacy of Yiqi Huoxue recipe in the treatment of liver fibrosis of chronic viral hepatitis. Methods: An open, positive-drug, parallel-controlled study method was applied. A total of 207 cases of liver fibrosis with chronic hepatitis B and C diagnosed with liver biopsy and transient elastography were selected. ⋯ After treatment, LSM, APRI, and FIB-4 total effectiveness in the two groups were 80.0% vs. 63.6%, P = 0.046; 68.4% vs. 52.0%, P = 0.052; 68.4% vs. 62.0%, P = 0.437, respectively. LSM total effectiveness was significantly higher in Yiqi Huoxue recipe treated group than Fuzheng Huayu capsule group. Conclusion: Traditional Chinese medicine Yiqi Huoxue decoction can be used as an optimal treatment for liver fibrosis of chronic viral hepatitis.

[Analysis of baseline liver biochemical parameters in 324 cases with novel coronavirus pneumonia in Shanghai area].
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics and liver biochemical parameters of 324 cases admitted with novel coronavirus pneumonia in Shanghai area. Methods: Clinical data and baseline liver biochemical parameters of 324 cases with novel coronavirus pneumonia admitted to the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from January 20, 2020 to February 24, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on the status of illness: mild type (mild and typical) and severe type (severe and critical). ⋯ There were no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05) in ALT [(21.5 vs. 26) U / L, P = 0.093], ALP [(57 vs.59) U/L, P = 0.674], and GGT [(24 vs.28) U/L, P = 0.101] between the severe group and the mild group. There were statistically significant differences in AST (23 U/L vs. 34 U/L, P < 0.01), TBil (10.75 vs. 8.05 μmol / L, P < 0.01), ALB (35.79 ± 4.75 vs. 41.07 ± 3.80 g/L, P < 0.01), and INR (1.00 vs. 1.04, P < 0.01). Conclusion: The baseline liver biochemical parameters of 324 cases with novel coronavirus pneumonia in Shanghai area was comparatively lower and the liverinjury degree was mild, and the bile duct cell damage was rare.
