"I was negatively impressed by the following points: (1) very long time between submission and final decision in spite of three lines of comments by a single reviewer; (2) detection of plagiarism based on a computer program instead of an intelligent evaluation by a human editor; (3) bizarre rule that the ms should not include more than 3 references from the same journal."

"The submission process was difficult. I could not see documents once they were submitted. The peer review was poor. The reviewers had little knowledge of the topic and the comments were sparse and unhelpful. It took too long between response to the reviewers and final decision. I received almost daily emails from the technical editor about things that needed to be changed - minor things - but it would have been better if all the problems could have been addressed at once.
By far the worst, and probably unethical aspect is the requirement that 3 authors submit feedback before you publish the paper. We paid a large fee to publish the paper and to claim that you will not publish the paper until we submit feedback looks like blackmail. I wonder what Committee on Publication Ethics would think of that."

"This is a well-designed study, and has identified tumor mutation burden (TMB) as an independent prognostic biomarker in patients with Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). This study provides an effective indicator for the clinical prognostic evaluation of ICC patients.
My only question is whether the authors have tried to identify potential genetic factors (such as specific gene mutation) correlating with TMB in this cohort. Further study would also be helpful to determine if immunotherapy could reverse this trend given the fact that high TMB might result in better response and clinical outcome in the era of immunotherapy.

These information are equally important for patients in order to know what symptoms they will expect in the unilateral, two-staged surgery against the bilateral, one-staged surgery.

"The abstract contain huge not relevant part.
Statistical analyses were performed using Statistica version 8.0. Quantitative parameters are presented as the mean ± SD and qualitative parameters as number and percentage per class. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check for normality of distributions. Analysis of variance and Duncan post hoc test were employed to analyze differences among subgroup means. The associations between variables were measured using Pearson's correlation. A P value of < 0.05 was considered significant.

"Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare disease due to a genetic defect that precludes a correct heme metabolism. Because of its rarity, the diagnosis is very difficult as its pre-test probability is very low, especially in patients with other morbid conditions that can mimic those related to AIP.
Moreover, in a kidney transplant patient develops gastrointestinal symptomatology while receiving a mycophenolic acid, it is a real challenge to suspect and diagnose AIP.
In this paper, authors describe a kidney transplant patient with common symptoms of an infrequent disease and it is to be highlighted that they in fact were able to make the diagnosis. Nevertheless, authors, regrettably, did not mention why they suspected AIP and what differential diagnosis they use as a roadmap, precluding readers to learn how to diagnose AIP in clinical practice when gastrointestinal complains are frequent.
Nevertheless, authors must be congratulated for their case report that highlights that a rare disease can be present in non-suspicious patients and that always is important to have in mind rare diagnosis in order to think, find and treat them.

For example monoclonal antibodies and viral peros treatment. Not the basic pathophysiology and disease time- line. Not the current concert of Covid-19 being an "endothelitis'
In order to meet that goal it should have:
1) a figure with a time line of treatment. For example hydroxy chloroquine, once employed, is totally abandoned.
2) table of mutations with their major différences in genetic level, clinical presentation and outcome
3) table of different vaccines, dosing, efficacy in different mutations
4) timeline of disease progression
A few words on future perspective

"This is a very relevant study to physicians treating complicated Covid-19 cases addressing a common observation which is heart failure in patients with Covid-19 infection and it’s impact on outcome.
It was not clear to me the search criteria or the search engines used to identify the studies discussed. I would have liked to see the paper divided as a similar to other systematic reviews to include heading of: methods, results….etc.
I enjoyed reading the discussion which was inclusive and fulfilling.
In large, this is a good article that recommend to colleagues to read.

"Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer with high morbidity and mortality worldwide, and chemotherapy and systemic therapy have been recommended to patients with intermediate or advanced stage cancer. However, the conventional routes of administration yields low desired response rates due to fast clearance rate, nonspecific delivery, severe side effects, low drug concentration in cancer cells, etc. Additionally, the patients with HCC are inclined to advanced stage due to their occult. Recently, nanotheranostics can surmount the aforementioned obstacles to enhance the diagnosis to and therapy of HCC. This review summarized the current technological and functional advancements in nanotheranostic technology for HCC. However, rare nanomedicine have been applied in clinic practice, maybe there are some obstacles to limit the clinical translational applications for HCC."

the conclusions declare that the development of HCC remains a significant concern especially among those with advanced hepatic fibrosis. A number of factors including diabetes mellitus, underlying non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcohol consumption have been associated with progression to HCC after HCV cure.
More data are need to understand the closely presence of metabolic comorbidities that after DAAS therapy could worsen (increased in Total cholesterol, LDL etc).
Few data are reported to other therapy link with DAAs, for example the sinergic effects of statins on the HCC prevention; it would have been nice to read it."

"Authors should be congratulated for summarizing evidence about impact of COVID-19 on transplant of solid organs.
It is important to see that COVID-19 pandemic had more negative impact mortality on transplant waiting lists then on solid organ recipients. Furthermore, effects of immunosupression on COVID-19 infections among solid organ transplant recipients are very interesting and yet much remains to be investigated. However, despite the fact that vaccination is not contraindicated in transplant recipients, it still remains unanswered challenge how to achieve high immunization rates among solid organ recipients.
Article is very interesting and easy to read."

"Treatments of depressive disorders have always been the focus from both clinical physicians and basic researchers. Although the therapeutic drugs for depression have evolved from the tricyclic depressants to SSRIs with the drug toxicity largely improved, there are still many problems awaiting for addressing regarding the current antidepressants. The authors in this article have summarized the evidence on nuclear receptors (NRs),including glucocorticoid receptor, mineralocorticoid receptor, estrogen receptor, aryl hydrocarbon receptor, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, in modulating the inflammasome activity during development of depression from an endocrine perspective. This could enhance our understanding of how depression develops and might promote novel-drug developments.
Since drug safety without compromising efficacy is maximally pursued in clinic, how these nuclear receptors modulators, such as hormones and metabolites, would efficiently penetrate the brain-blood barrier remains to be elucidated from both preclinical and population-based cohort studies. It would be interesting to see more studies concerning the therapeutic efficacy and safety of nuclear receptor modulators in treatment of major depression."

This article reviews the application of AI in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of CRC and provides the prospects for the broader application of AI in CRC. In my opinion, the artificial neural network (ANN), that lies under the umbrella of reinforcemnt machine learning, is of special interest. ANNs are massively parallel, computer-intensive and data-driven algorithmic system that is composed of multitude of highly interconnected nodes. Each elementary node of a neural network is able to receive an input from external sources, according to the relative importance and different weight, which transforms into an output signal to other nodes by different activation function. Indeed, ANNs would be a valuable tool for a wide range of applications in CRC diagnosis, treatment and prognosis prediction."

"I read with great interest the case report by Kovalenko YA et al. about the primary liver teratoma. The case report provides detailed information about the incidence, pathogenesis and classification of teratoma and primary liver teratoma. The article makes a clear distinction between mature and immature teratoma in terms of growth rate, clinical course, malignant potential and prognosis. It also explains the pathogenesis and clinical significance of the Growing teratoma syndrome.
However, there are few issues that should be discussed. It is well known that mature teratoma is diagnosed by the presence of well-differentiated histologic elements derived from at least two of the three germinal layers [1]. When discussing about the diagnosis of extragonadal teratoma, it seems that there are two crucial issues that have to be considered in order to establish the proper diagnosis: exclude metastasis from a primary gonadal teratoma and distinguish it from another type of poorly differentiated neoplasm. It seems that in this case both issues can be discussed. The patient was previously diagnosed with benign ovarian teratoma. Although there were no signs of malignancy and dissemination, still the diagnosis of primary liver teratoma comes in a specific clinical setting. According to the literature, the diagnosis of mature liver teratoma is mainly suspected during the gross pathologic examination of the tumor sections detecting sebaceous material, hair, cartilage, teeth etc [2-5]. The definitive histological diagnosis in most cases was made on H&E stain confirming the presence of mature elements within epidermal structures, bone, fat, thyroid or neural tissue [2-5]. In this case, the H&E stain did not detect any of the previously stated structures and could not conform the diagnosis of teratoma. Moreover, the initial histological diagnosis was biliary hamartoma. When performed, the immunohistochemical tests usually provide a definitive diagnosis. But still, in this case, the assay only confirmed an immunophenotype corresponding to thyroid follicular epithelium, potentially opening the possibility for thyroid neoplasm, despite the normal appearance of the thyroid gland on ultrasound.
I am not a pathology expert, but considering all the above, I think that several other condition must be discussed. Taking into account the immunophenotype for thyroid follicular epithelium, the differential diagnosis of ectopic thyroid tissue [6,7] must be seriously considered, especially if we have in mind that the patient was previously diagnosed with mature ovarian teratoma . We do not have the information whether an immunohistochemical assay was performed on the ovarian teratoma, but in this clinical setting, the current findings justify the suspicion for previous struma ovarii in the differential diagnosis. According to the literature, struma ovarii comprises around 1% of all ovarian tumors and 2–4% of all ovarian teratomas, with the thyroid tissue usually being present in more than 50% of the total tissue [8-10]. Despite the low frequency of detecting ectopic thyroid tissue [11], in this case I think that a scintigraphy could potentially provide useful information that would help for additional clarification of the case. I think that all of these aspects of the case should have been more thoroughly discussed in the article.
In summary, I would conclude that this is a well written, interesting and informative case report that should remind us about the importance of the comprehensive clinical approach during the demanding, challenging and creative diagnostic process.
