Bacillus subtilis HGCC-1 improves growth performance and liver health via regulating gut microbiota in golden pompano by Ming Li, Hui Liang, Jian Zhang, Jie Chen, Shichang Xu, Wenhao Zhou, Qianwen Ding, Yalin Yang, Zhen Zhang, Yuanyuan Yao, Chao Ran, Zhigang Zhou

“…Besides, HGCC-1 improved liver health and alleviated hepatic steatosis and inflammation. Furthermore, Bacillus subtilis HGCC-1 enhanced intestinal lipid absorption, promoted hepatic utilization of dietary fat by improving hepatic lipid uptake/transport and fatty acid β-oxidation to provide energy, and reduced hepatic TG level (P < 0.05), which may be the potential mechanism of Bacillus subtilis HGCC-1-mediated growth promotion. …”

Meta-analysis of cryoablation versus radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of malignant liver tumors by Xiangzhong Huang, Xinjian Xu, Hongtao Du, Qiulian Sun, Minyu Wu

“…There were no significant differences in the incidence of complications, complete ablation of lesions, local recurrence, and 1-year survival between the CRA and RFA groups (OR = 0.98, 95%CI: 0.61–1.55, p = 0.92; OR = 1.08, 95%CI: 0.62–1.90, p = 0.78; OR = 1.28, 95%CI: 0.49–3.36, p = 0.61; and OR = 1.14, 95%CI: 0.63–2.06, p = 0.66, respectively).Conclusion The efficacy and safety profile of CRA was comparable to that of RFA in the context of ablation therapy for hepatic malignancies. These findings suggested that CRA may be a valuable alternative to RFA in the treatment of hepatic malignancies.…”
