Is serum antithrombin III level well correlated with multiple indicators for assessment of liver function and diagnostic accuracy for predicting postoperative liver failure in hepatocellular carcinoma patients?
The serum ATIII level before hepatectomy is valuable to estimate the pathological background and predict postoperative liver failure/ dysfunction. It should be possible to use ATIII as an additional indicator for liver function and substitute for ICGR15 in the future.
The null hypothesis was rejected. The extraction of upper premolars rather than nonextraction decreased the pharyngeal airway space more in patients with mandibular prognathism who planned to have bimaxillary surgery.
