"The current study was based on previous studies that the endocan is a target of miRNA 9-3p,and that the simultaneous assessment of the roles of both miRNA 9-3p and inflammatory role of endocan have not been evaluated in HCC. The work explored the diagnostic value of circulating levels of miRNA 9-3p and endocan in HCV-related HCC patients and correlated them with clinicopathological parameters. The authors concluded that the circulating miRNA 9-3p and endocan can be used as novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of HCV-related HCC. Overall, the current study was interesting and well conducted regarding the ethics, methods, interpretation and language. The findings of this study warrant additional investigation in prospective trials with larger cohorts and longer follow-up for confirming the results and validating the potential clinical use of these markers in early HCC detection. Below are my comments regarding some of the caveats or drawbacks in the current study which I think could be helpful for the improvement of future study: 1.Sample size is small, with only 4 early HCC cases with BCLC stage A, and it would be better the chronic liver disease be categorized as cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, and other causes of chronic liver disease like alcoholism. 2. In addition to figures, it would be better use tables but not text description to present the diagnostic value of miRNA 9-3p and endocan. 3.Regarding the statistical analysis, AUC value is usually accompanied with 95% CI. 4.How is the diagnostic performance of the combined miRNA 9-3p and endocan? 5. The discussion could be more concise and logical. " [Collapse]

"For postoperative elderly gastric cancer patients, good nutrition may minimize postoperative complications, especially in patients with gastric cancer after total gastrectomy. Of course, laparoscopic surgery has advantages over open surgery. In our center, nasal jejunal nutrition tube will be routinely placed in elderly gastric cancer patients after operation, and this measure has greatly promoted the postoperative recovery of elderly gastric cancer patients. This article does not mention the application of nasal jejunal nutrition tube, I think the application of nasal jejunal nutrition tube should be properly advocated for postoperative elderly gastric cancer patients."

"The study is very useful in highlighting the potential of Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), a standard of care after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is also interesting to observe complementary medical therapy, such as proton pump inhibitors and beta-blockers, to be prescribed for lower bleeding risk patients. In this case, thromboelastography and “preventive” upper endoscopies in PCI circumstances which are somewhat novel approaches, is required for clinical confirmation. " [Collapse]
