Comparison of Machine Learning Models Using Diffusion-Weighted Images for Pathological Grade of Intrahepatic Mass-Forming Cholangiocarcinoma
The objective of our study is to develop DWI radiomic models based on different machine learning algorithms and identify the optimal prediction model. We undertook a retrospective analysis of the DWI data of 77 patients with IMCC confirmed by pathological testing. Fifty-seven patients initially included in the study were randomly assigned to either the training set or the validation set in a ratio of 7:3. We established four different classifier models, namely random forest (RF), support vector machines (SVM), logistic regression (LR), and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), by manually contouring the region of interes...

Impact of temperature-controlled endobiliary radiofrequency ablation for inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma: A propensity score –matched analysis
Conclusions Temperature-controlled endobiliary RFA resulted in favorable stent patency without increasing the rate of AEs but it did not significantly increase OS in patients with inoperable hilar CCA (Clinical trial registration number: KCT0008576).

Identification of Novel Cuproptosis-Related Genes Mediating the Prognosis and Immune Microenvironment in Cholangiocarcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, we established and verified an effective prognostic model that could separate cholangiocarcinoma patients into 2 heterogeneous cuproptosis subtypes based on the molecular or protein characteristics of 10 cuproptosis-related genes. These findings may provide potential benefits for unveiling molecular characteristics and defining subgroups could improve the early diagnosis and individualized treatment of cholangiocarcinoma patients.PMID:38613350 | DOI:10.1177/15330338241239139 (Source: Cell Research)

Identification of clinically relevant subsets CD39 < sup > + < /sup > PD-1 < sup > + < /sup > CD8 < sup > + < /sup > T cells and CD39 < sup > + < /sup > regulatory T cells in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma using single-cell CyTOF
This study utilized mass cytometry by time of flight (CyTOF) to comprehensively analyze immune cell populations in fresh iCCA tumor samples and adjacent peritumor liver tissues. Notably, NK cell percentages significantly decreased in iCCA lesions compared to peritumor liver tissues. Conversely, an enrichment of immunosuppressive CD39+Foxp3+CD4+ regulatory T cells (CD39+T-regs) and exhausted-like CD8+T cells (with pronounced CD39 and PD-1 expression) within TIME was identified and confirmed by multiplex immunofluorescence staining in an independent patient cohort (n = 140). Crucially, tumor-infiltrating CD39+T-regs and CD39...
