Summary: A predictive nomogram based on clinical and ultrasound findings was established to distinguish combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (CHC) from other subtypes of primary liver cancers (PLCs). The nomogram showed promising performance and clinical usefulness in differentiating CHC from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the sonographic features of primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETs) to those of non-hepatitis B and non-hepatitis C hepatocellular carcinoma (NBNC-HCC) on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). The results showed that PHNET was more common in women, while NBNC-HCC was more common in men. PHNET had larger tumor size compared to NBNC-HCC. In addition, CEUS revealed that most PHNETs exhibited heterogeneous enhancement in the arterial phase, washout in the portal venous and late phases, and early washout being more likely than NBNC-HCC.

Summary: This study constructed a new model based on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and serological biomarkers to predict the early recurrence (ER) of primary hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatectomy. Data from 466 patients were collected, and univariate analysis and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to identify independent prognostic factors for tumor recurrence. The CEUSS model showed high accuracy in predicting ER and can serve as a new tool for individualized treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the preoperative predictors of microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) patients. The independent predictors of MVI were found to be gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, peritumoral enhancement, and multiple nodules. The established prediction score showed satisfactory performance in predicting MVI and may facilitate prognostic stratification.

Summary: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is associated with the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with or without liver cirrhosis, through various mechanisms. The molecular profile of HBV-HCC is constantly being studied, and it is the result of altered molecular pathways, changes in the microenvironment, and DNA damage. Proper management of HBV-related liver disease is crucial for prevention and treatment of HCC.

Summary: Hepatitis B virus is a significant cause of hepatocellular carcinoma globally. The complex mechanisms of this virus include interactions with the host's immune system. Factors such as stress can amplify these mechanisms. Chronic stress, harmful to health, can suppress or activate the host's defense system, leading to tumor initiation and progression in liver cancer. Chronic stress, often overlooked, should be recognized as a potential risk factor.

Summary: This review discusses the histomorphological classification and diagnosis methods of combined hepatocellular carcinoma-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA), as well as the molecular foundation for potential therapeutic approaches. cHCC-CCA is a rare primary liver cancer composed of hepatocellular and cholangiocellular differentiated cells. The classification of this cancer has evolved over time, with the latest WHO classification emphasizing morphological diagnosis and introducing new subtypes. Immunohistochemical markers have limited value for diagnosis, but recent discoveries in molecular pathway regulation may lead to new therapeutic approaches for this challenging disease.

Summary: This study investigated the relationships between serum vitamin D levels and metabolism, liver fat content, and fibrosis in patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) with and without chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. The study found that serum vitamin D levels were lower in MAFLD patients compared to healthy controls and patients with CHB alone or overlapping with MAFLD. After adjusting for confounding factors, vitamin D was significantly negatively correlated with liver fat content in MAFLD patients but not in CHB with MAFLD patients. Vitamin D deficiency was associated with the severity of metabolic abnormalities and steatosis in MAFLD patients independent of lifestyle factors, but not in MAFLD with CHB patients.

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate the value of pre-operative multimodal data in predicting early and late recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after curative treatment. Clinical parameters, 2-D shear wave elastography, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound were found to be independently associated with early recurrence. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and 2-D shear wave elastography were significant predictors of early recurrence at different time points. The multimodal model performed the best in predicting early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

By manipulating the phase and amplitude of sensor data, the computation time is significantly reduced. The results show that s-Wave exhibits a speed improvement >2000 times compared with k-Wave in a sparse system configuration, and in terms of optimization-based image reconstruction, the reconstruction time is reduced by approximately 50 times.

The results show that this method provides comparable accuracy to manual measurements while saving time and reducing operator variability, with an average volume difference of 2.9 mL for 2-D and 7.8 mL for 3-D imaging. The application of pseudo-labeling improves the stability of volume curves and the accuracy of end-systole measurement.
