TL;DR: The data suggest for the first time that PD-L1 status may be a new predictor of prognosis for patients with pancreatic cancer and provide the rationale for developing a novel therapy of targeting thePD-L/PD-1 pathway against this fatal disease.

TL;DR: Tumour-related B7-H3 expression was abundant in most human pancreatic cancer tissues and was significantly higher compared with that in non-cancer tissue or normal pancreas; its expression was significantly more intense in cases with lymph node metastasis and advanced pathological stage.

TL;DR: Pure laparoscopy allows reducing PPCs in patients requiring major liver resection in patients undergoing OMH or LMH, and the overall incidence and types of postoperative pulmonary complications were significantly lower in the laparoscopic group than in the open group.

TL;DR: Antagonism of CCR5 and CXCR3 has a substantial therapeutic effect on inhibiting both acute and chronic allograft rejection and may be potential targets in clinical transplantation in the future.

TL;DR: The current protocol of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is feasible and substantially improves the pathology, however, it has some detrimental effects on postoperative nutritional status and performance of adjuvant chemotherapy.
