ABSTRACT

Objective:To discuss the effect of sarcopenia (Sa) on the prognosis of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in patients with portal hypertension (PHT).Methods:Totally 131 PHT patients treated with TIPS were retrospectively collected from August 2013 to December 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, and were divided into the Sa group [maximum transverse diameter of the psoas major muscle/height (TPMT/H) ≤16.8 mm/m, n=60] and the control group (TPMT/H>16.8 mm/m, n=71). The patients were followed up with a median time of 42 months. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy, recurrence rate of PHT-related complications and survival rate of PHT patients after TIPS, and the differences were compared by Log-rank test. Results:The incidences of hepatic encephalopathy within 6 months after TIPS and severe hepatic encephalopathy requiring hospitalization in the Sa group [36.7% (95%CI 24.5%-48.8%) and 15.0% (95%CI 6.0%-24.0%)] were higher than those of the control group [15.7% (95%CI 7.3%-24.1%) and 2.8% (95%CI 0-6.7%)], with statistically significant differences (χ2=7.843, 16.442, P=0.005, 0.001). The 5-year overall recurrence rate of PHT-related complications of the Sa group after TIPS [15.8% (95%CI 6.4%-25.2%)] was higher than that of the control group [5.7% (95%CI 0.2%-11.2%)], with a statistically significant difference (χ2=4.431, P =0.035. The 1, 3 and 5-year survival rates in the Sa group were 88.3% (95%CI 80.3%-96.3%), 86.7% (95%CI 78.1%-95.3%) and 77.8% (95%CI 65.1%-90.5%) respectively, which were all lower than those of the control group [97.2% (95%CI 93.3%-100%), 95.8% (95%CI 91.1%-100.0%) and 93.7% (95%CI 87.6%-99.87%) respectively], and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.055, P=0.025). Conclusion:Sa has a higher incidence in PHT patients, which can increase the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy and recurrence rate of PHT-related complications, and can decrease the survival rate in PHT patients after TIPS. Hence, the Sa is an indicator of the poor prognosis in PHT patients with TIPS.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rat models with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) . Methods BCS model was established by partial ligation of inferior vena cava in the posterior segment of the liver. The experimental rats were divided into control group (n=20), model group (n=20) and sham group (n=20) . Liver tissues were collected for immunohistochemistry, HE and Masson staining, and the expression levels of iNOS, PDGF-B and LPS were determined. Results The LPS value in model group was higher than that in both control group and sham group (P=0.001) . The mRNA and protein expressions of iNOS and PDGF-B in model group were higher than those in both control group and sham group (P=0.001) . Statistically significant differences in mRNA and protein expressions of iNOS and PDGF-B existed between each other among the subgroups (P=0.001) . In model group iNOS was positively correlated with PDGF-B and LPS; liver fibrosis was positively correlated with LPS and negatively correlated with PDGFB. Conclusion The damage and repair of BCS is a complicated process. The iNOS, PDGF-B and LPS may play different roles in different stages of BCS. How to regulate their balance in liver fibrosis may be a direction that deserves further study.

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the therapeutic effect and influencing factors of TACE for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT).Methods Data of 685 patients with HCC and PVTT were retrospectively analyzed.There were 475 patients treated with TACE (TACE group) and 210 patients treated with supportive treatment (supportive treatment group).The survival time of two groups were observed and compared.The multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the prognostic factors.Results The median survival time of all 685 patients was 6.3 months.The median survival time of patients in TACE group and supportive treatment group was 7.1 months and 5.2 months,respectively (P=0.002).The 6-,12-and 24-month survival rates were 57.30%,27.30% and 12.10% in TACE group,and 37.90%,12.20% and 3.10% in supportive treatment group,respectively.Univariate analysis showed that the Child-Pugh classification,the diameter of lesion,gamma-glutamyl transferase level and type of PVTT might be significant prognostic factors for overall survival.Multivariate Cox proportional hazard model analysis showed the Child-Pugh classification and type of PVTT were independent prognostic factors for overall survival.Further analysis showed that the median survival time of patients with type Ⅰ or Ⅱ PVTT in TACE group was 7.8 months,and that in supportive treatment group was 5.5 months.There were statistical differences of 6-,12-and 24-month cumulative survival rate between the 2 groups (P =0.001).The median survival time of patients with type Ⅲ or Ⅳ PVTT in TACE group was 5.3 months,and that in supportive treatment group was 4.5 months.There was no statistical difference of the 6-,12-and 24-month cumulative survival rate between the 2 groups (P=0.662).Conclusion TACE is effective in the treatment of HCC with PVTT.The major influencing factors for survival time of patients with HCC and PVTT are Child-Pugh classification and type of PVTT.The effect of TACE for HCC patients with type Ⅲ or Ⅳ PVTT is unsatisfied.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the incidence and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) following hepatic arterial chemoembolization inpatients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),Child class A. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on patients with HCC,Child Class A who were admitted from January 2008 to October 2016.The inclusion criteria:(1) patients were diagnosed with pathologically confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma based on the standards of primary liver cancer diagnosis and treatment (2011 edition);(2) patients have complete laboratory parameters and imaging data within the 7 days before the TACE treatment;(3) the Child-pugh score was 5 to 6;(4) patients have no acute or chronic renalfailure before the treatment of TACE.The morbidity of AKI after TACE was investigated.Twenty-six factors such as age,sexy,contrast dose,hemoglobin were included as independent variable, so as to investigate the risk factors for postoperative AKI. Results A total of 818 patients were included in the study, including 38 experiencing postoperative AKI(4.64%).Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified elevated preoperative uric acid as the independent risk factor for postoperative AKI(OR=1.005,95% CI 1.000 to 1.009,P=0.037), and elevated preoperative hemoglobin as the protective factor for postoperative AKI(OR=0.974,95% CI 0.952 to 0.997,P=0.028).Conclusions AKI is not uncommon following hepatic arterial chemoembolization inpatients with HCC,Child Class A,and is correlated with elevated uric acid and anemia.Preoperative risk assessment and anemia correction might be effective for reducing the incidence of AKI following hepatic arterial chemoembolization.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and apoptosis of the tumor cells in the different regions of rabbit liver VX2 tumor after radiofrequency ablation (RFA).Methods Forty-eight experimental rabbits were implanted with VX2 tumor.After successfully established the model,the rabbits were randomly divided into control group (n=6) and RFA group (n=42).In the RFA group,7 rabbits at each time point were killed at immediately,1 day,2 days,1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks after RFA,and the tumor specimens were retained and performed with HE staining,VEGF,Annexin V-FITC/PI labeling,flow cytometry analysis.The changes of VEGF and apoptosis of the cells in different periods and different zones after RFA were observed.Results After the operation,the difference of the VEGF value of the needle zone,coagulation necrotic zone and junction zone had statistically significant (all P<0.05).The difference of the VEGF value in each zone between immediately and the other time points after operation by pairwise comparisons were significantly different (all P<0.05).The VEGF value of the needle zone and coagulation necrotic zone reached the peak after operation immediately,which declined from 1 day to 3 weeks after operative.And VEGF of the junction zone increased from immediately to 1 week after operation,and declined 2 weeks after operation.There were significant differences in the apoptosis rate of the three zones after RFA compared with control group (all P<0.05).The apoptosis rate in all zones were at the peak on the 1 day after operation,and then showed a downward trend.Conclusion The reduction of VEGF and apoptosis of tumor cells in the needle zone and coagulation necrotic zone are significant,but tumor remnant remains visible in the junction zone.In the third week after RFA,the proliferation of the remaining tumor cells can be recurrent to preoperative levels,which suggests that the further treatment should be performed at this period.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the success rate,vascular patency time and their influencing factors of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in treating swollen hand syndrome in hemodialysis patients.Methods The clinical data of 16 hemodialysis patients with swollen hand syndrome,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from May 2015 to March 2017 to receive PTA,were retrospectively analyzed.The technical success rate,the follow-up primary vascular patency time and primary patency rate were calculated,and the factors influencing technical success rate and vascular patency time were analyzed.Results Venography with DSA revealed that a total of 16 segments of venous stenosis or occlusion were found in 16 patients,including 6 stenotic lesions and 10 occlusive lesions.Successful PTA was obtained in 14 patients,including one patient whose angiography performed immediately after PTA with balloon dilatation showed that the stenosis was still over 50%,and stent implantation had to be carried out.The technical success rate was 87.5%,in 2 patients PTA failed as the guide wire could not pass through the long segment of vascular occlusion.The 14 patients were followed up for 3-24 months,and the median patency time was 10.5 months.The 3-,6-and 12-month primary patency rates were 71.4% (10/14),57.1% (8/14) and 42.9% (6/14) respectively.Univariate analysis indicated that the length of occlusive segment and the balloon pressure required for angioplasty were the potential factors that affected the postoperative vascular patency time.Conclusion For the treatment of swollen hand syndrome in hemodialysis patients,PTA is safe and effective,although long-term vascular patency rate needs to be further improved.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous endobiliary radiofrequency ablation combined with biliary stenting in treating malignant obstructive jaundice. Methods Percutaneous endobiliary radiofrequency ablation combined with biliary stenting was carried out in 2 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice after they received percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. The curative effect, complications and stent patency at 50 days after the treatment were recorded. The results were analyzed. Results Successful endobiliary radiofrequency ablation and intraluminal stent implantation was accomplished in both patients, with a technical success rate of 100%. Segmental radiofrequency ablation procedure was employed. After the treatment the serum total bilirubin level was significantly decreased. No bile duct bleeding, perforation of bile duct, bile leakage or other serious complications occurred. The stent remained unobstructed during the follow - up period of 50 days. Conclusion As a new treatment for malignant obstructive jaundice, percutaneous endobiliary radiofrequency ablation combined with biliary stenting is clinically safe and effective, although its long - term efficacy needs to be further proved with randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT

Objective To retrospectively analyze the effect of interventional embolization for hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) associated with arteriovenous shunting (AVS), and to discuss the factors influencing the therapeutic results. Methods The clinical data of 62 cases with HCC associated with AVS , who were treated with interventional chemoembolization , were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the type and extent of AVS identified by angiographic manifestations, appropriate obstruction of the shunt and Lipiodol chemoembolization of HCC were conducted. The curative effect of the shunt embolization was assessed by DSA at one or two months after the treatment. The relevant factors influencing the prognosis of embolization were analyzed by using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis methods. Results Of the 62 patients, arterioportal shunting (APS) was detected in 44, hepatic arterio-venous shunting (HAVS) in 11, APS together with HAVS in 4, and hepatic artery-pulmonary artery shunting (HAPAS) in 3. Re-examination with DSA was carried out in 53 patients at 1 - 2 months after the treatment , which showed that the shunting disappeared in 18 cases, obvious reduction of the shunt flow was seen in 19 cases, the lesion remained stable in 9 cases and the disease became worse in 7 cases. Univariate analysis indicated that the kind of embolic material and the presence of tumor thrombus could affect the obstructive result of the shunt , while multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that portal tumoral thrombus was an independent risk factor. The embolization effect of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles and Lipiodol-ethanol mixture, used as the embolic agents, was better than that of gelatin sponge particles. Conclusion To ensure a successful interventional chemoembolization for HCC combined with AVS the procedure should be individualized according to the type and extent of the arteriovenous shunting. The type of embolic materials used for embolization can affect the results to a certain degree.
