    Abstract Background: Previous research has indicated a negative correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of Kawasaki disease (KD). However, the validation of this discovery through meta-analytical studies has been lacking. Furthermore, uncertainties persist regarding whether breastfeeding reduces the risk of coronary artery lesions (CAL) or resistance to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).
    Methods: A systematic exploration of the MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases was conducted to identify longitudinal or randomized controlled trials investigating the efficacy of breastfeeding in preventing KD. The primary focus was on the incidence of KD, with secondary emphasis placed on the incidence of CAL and IVIG resistance. Data were pooled using a frequentist-restricted maximum-likelihood random-effects model.
    Results: Of the 179 potentially eligible studies identified, five (n = 1,982,634) were included. The analysis revealed a significantly lower risk of KD (expressed as odds ratio, with 95% confidence intervals and p-values) in comparisons between exclusive breastfeeding and formula feeding (0.62, 0.43-0.91, p = 0.014), exclusive breastfeeding/partial breastfeeding and formula feeding (0.66, 0.46- 0.96, p = 0.03), and exclusive breastfeeding and partial breastfeeding/formula feeding (0.81, 0.74- 0.90, p < 0.01). However, no significant difference was observed in the risk of developing KD when comparing partial breastfeeding to formula feeding exclusively. Regarding secondary outcomes, no statistically significant difference was found in the risk of CAL or IVIG resistance across any comparison formats.
    Conclusions: Our study suggests that breastfeeding correlated with a reduced risk of KD but not with a reduced risk of CAL or IVIG resistance. These findings advocate for the implementation of breastfeeding policies in clinical practice.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to compare the survival outcomes of patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) who underwent or did not undergo salvage surgery followed by a triple combination conversion treatment consisted of locoregional treatment (LRT), tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and anti-PD-1 antibodies.
    Methods: The data from 93 consecutive patients with initially unresectable HCC and PVTT across 4 medical centers were retrospectively reviewed. They were converted successfully by the triple combination treatment and underwent or did not undergo salvage resection. The baseline characteristics, conversion schemes, conversion treatment-related adverse events (CTRAEs), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) of the salvage surgery and non-surgery groups were compared. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for OS and PFS. Additionally, subgroup survival analysis was conducted by stratification of degree of tumor response and type of PVTT.
    Results: Of the 93 patients, 44 underwent salvage surgery, and 49 did not undergo salvage surgery. The OS and PFS of the salvage surgery and non-surgery groups were not significantly different (P = .370 and .334, respectively). The incidence and severity of CTRAEs of the 2 groups were also comparable. Subgroup analyses revealed that for patients with complete response (CR) or types III-IV PVTT, there was a trend toward better survival in patients who did not undergo salvage surgery. Multivariate analysis showed that baseline α-fetoprotein and best tumor response per mRECIST criteria were independent prognostic factors for OS and PFS.
    Conclusions: For patients with initially unresectable HCC and PVTT who were successfully converted by the triple combination therapy, salvage liver resection may not be necessary, especially for the patients with CR or types III-IV PVTT.

    Abstract Background: The efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for patients with early-stage recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with microvascular invasion (MVI) at the initial hepatectomy is limited. Our study aimed to explore whether adjuvant sorafenib following RFA could improve the situation.
    Methods: We retrospectively included 211 patients with early-stage (tumor number of ≤3 and tumor size of 2-5 cm) recurrent HCC with MVI at the initial hepatectomy who underwent adjuvant sorafenib following RFA or RFA alone in 13 centers from June 2013 to June 2020. In the combination group, sorafenib of 400 mg twice daily was administered within 7 days after RFA. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared. Subgroup analysis based on MVI grade was performed. MVI grade was based on the practice guidelines for the pathological diagnosis of HCC and included M1 (≤5 MVI sites, all located within adjacent peritumoral liver tissues 0-1 cm away from the tumor margin) and M2 (>5 MVI sites, or any MVI site located within adjacent peritumoral liver tissues > 1 cm away from the tumor margin).
    Results: A total of 103 patients received the combination therapy and 108 patients received RFA alone. The combination therapy provided better survival than RFA alone (median RFS: 17.7 vs. 13.1 months,
    Conclusions: Adjuvant sorafenib following RFA was associated with better survival than RFA alone in patients with early-stage recurrent HCC with MVI at the initial hepatectomy. Moreover, MVI grade could guide the application of adjuvant sorafenib.

    Abstract Background: The optimal subsequent management for patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) who have achieved complete response (CR) following conversion therapy remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of the watch-and-wait (W-W) strategy versus surgical resection (SR) for these patients.
    Materials and methods: This retrospective study reviewed patients with initially uHCC who underwent conversion therapy employing transarterial therapies combined with or without systemic therapies. Radiologic CR (rCR), clinical CR (cCR), and pathologic CR (pCR) were evaluated. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between the W-W and SR groups.
    Results: Among 1880 patients with uHCC who underwent conversion therapy, 207 (11.0%) achieved rCR. Finally, we enrolled 149 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, including 74 receiving W-W strategy and 75 undergoing SR. Among the 149 patients with rCR, the W-W group demonstrated comparable 3-year OS rates to the SR group (80.9% vs 83.1%, P=0.77), but demonstrated inferior PFS rates (14.4% vs 46.5%, P=0.002). These results remained consistent after propensity score matching. For the 57 patients who achieved cCR, the W-W group exhibited comparable 3-year OS (88.1% vs 87.9%, P=0.89) and PFS rates (27.8% vs 40.8%, P=0.34) compared to SR group. Among the 75 patients in the SR group, 31 (41.3%) achieved pCR and 44 (58.7%) reached non-pCR. When compared with patients with pCR, those who achieved rCR in the W-W group showed comparable OS but inferior PFS rates. Moreover, patients who achieved rCR in the W-W group displayed both comparable OS and PFS rates to those with non-pCR.
    Conclusion: The W-W strategy offered comparable survival outcomes to surgical resection in patients with initially uHCC who achieved rCR or cCR after conversion therapy. For these patients, the W-W strategy could be offered as an alternative treatment option.
