Hepatic Regeneration: If it Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix it by GY Minuk

“…Uncontrolled proliferation of liver tissue after resection or injury is not necessarily beneficial, because it could lead to a diversion of resources from the maintenance of hepatic function and to an increased risk of neoplasia. Therefore, it is unclear whether clinicians should attempt to enhance hepatocyte regeneration. …”

Control Index for Water Regulation in Fish Breeding Season for Dongta Spawning Ground after Operation of Datengxia Gorge Water Conservancy Project by LIU Lishi, WANG Li, GE Xiaoxia, TAN Xichang

“…After the operation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project,the change in the hydrological rhythm of the downstream river channel may have a certain impact on the function of the Dongta spawning ground about 10 km downstream.To maintain the normal function of the Dongta spawning ground,we should analyze the hydrological rhythm process required for fish spawning and use it as a control index to implement ecological regulation of reservoirs and thus restore the ecological environment of river channels.According to the observation data of early fish resources and hydrology over the past dozen years,the correlation between early fish resources and hydrological characteristic values in the Dongta spawning ground is analyzed by different statistical methods such as grey relational analysis and linear regression.In combination with the practical experience of ecological regulation in the Xijiang River Basin,the control index requirements for water regulation during the fish breeding period by the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project are put forward.Specifically,by the regulation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project from May to July every year,when the section flow rate of Dahuangjiangkou exceeds 3 500 m³/s,the water rise duration shall be no less than four days,with the daily rise rate in the water rise stage of more than 1 000 m³/s.The time for water to recede shall be no less than three days,and the flow rate in the water recession stage shall be above 3 500 m³/s.The regulation shall be performed at least once each year.The research results can provide a technical reference for maximizing the function of the Dongta spawning ground in the fish breeding period by the regulation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project.…”

Indian Council of Medical Research consensus document for the management of gall bladder cancer by Hari Shankar Shukla, Bhawna Sirohi, Anu Behari, Atul Sharma, Jahar Majumdar, Manomoy Ganguly, Mallika Tewari, Sandeep Kumar, Sunil Saini, Peush Sahni, Tomcha Singh, Vinay Kumar Kapoor, V Sucharita, Tanvir Kaur, Deepak Kumar Shukla, Goura Kishor Rath

“…All "incidental" gall bladder cancers (GBCs) picked up on histopathological examination should have an expert opinion. Evaluation of a patient with early GBC should include essential tests: A computed tomography (CT) scan (multi-detector or helical) of the abdomen and pelvis for staging with a CT chest or chest X-ray, and complete blood counts, renal and liver function tests. magnetic resonance imaging/positron emission tomography (PET)-CT are not recommended for all patients. …”
