Methods: 25 cases in quadruplet group were treated by TACE for 3 weeks, then by RFA, after 2 months, by PVC + PEI;23 cases in diad group were treated by TACE for 3 weeks and then by PEI. After completion of each treatment course in both groups, Alphafetoprotein (AFP) was tested 2 months later;abdomen colorful doppler, CT and AFP were retested 6 months later. Results: AFP was significantly decreased in 23 cases of quadruplet group and 20 cases of diad group among those with AFP positive results. 6 months later, examinations of CT, colorful Doppler and AFP in two groups showed: quadruplet group has significantly decreased (X2 = 6.81, P 0.01) blood supply of cancer tissue and significantly diminished (X2 = 8.29, P 0.01) tumor size, few cases with AFP elevation (X2 = 5.06, P 0.05);lower 1 year relapse rate and two years mortality than that in diad group (X2 = 5.30, P 0.05). Conclusion: TACE + RFA + PVC + PEI combinational therapy is a safe double intervention treatment for HCC scheme with less side effects, which is better than TACE + PEI scheme in killing remnant tumor and reducing relapse.展开更多

Outcomes of HBV infection depend on the interaction between the virus and host immune system. It is becoming increasingly apparent that Kupffer cells (KCs), the largest population of resident and monocyte-derived macrophages in the liver, contribute to HBV infection in various aspects. These cells play an important role not only in the anti-HBV immunity including virus recognition, cytokine production to directly inhibit viral replication and recruitment and activation of other immune cells involved in virus clearance but also in HBV outcome and progression, such as persistent infection and development of end-stage liver diseases. Since liver macrophages play multiple roles in HBV infection, they are directly targeted by HBV to benefit its life cycle. In the present review, we briefly outline the current advances of research of macrophages, especially the studies of their phenotypes, in chronic HBV infection.展开更多
