METHODS: We treated 138 patients [chronic hepatitis/ liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A/B/C), 3/135 (107/25/3)] with two different devices and protocols: cool-tip needle [initial ablation at 60 W (standard method) (n = 37) or at 40 W (modified method) (n = 28)] or; ablation with a LeVeen needle using a standard single-step, full expansion (single-step) method (n = 39) or a multi-step, incremental expansion (multi-step) method. RESULTS: Eleven patients experienced rapid and scattered recurrences 1 to 7 mo after the ablation. Nine patients were treated by the cool-tip original protocol (60 W) (9/37 = 24%) and the other two by the LeVeen single-step method (2/39 = 5%). The location of the recurrence was surrounding and limited to the site of ablation segment in three cases, and spread over one Iobule or both Iobules in the other eight cases. There was no recurrence in the patients treated with the modified cool-tip modified method (40 W) or the LeVeen multi-step method. CONCLUSION: There is a risk of rapid and scattered recurrence after RFA, especially when the standard cool- tip procedure is used. Because such recurrence would worsen the prognosis, we recommend that modified protocols for the cool-tip and LeVeen needle methods should be used in clinical practice.展开更多

To understand the sinking column formation, to judge if the columns are hazardous or not, the inner circle mechanism of groundwater in forming sinking columns in the relatively isolated areas was proposed according to the investigation on formation or distribution of sinking columns in some north China typed coal fields, such as Fengfeng, Xiangtai, Huaibei, Yangquan and so on. The heat generated by magma energized groundwater circulation and developed limestone karst in the relatively isolated areas. The CaCO3 solution accelerated by geothermal abnormality, the effect of high content of CO2 on dissolution and saturation of CaCO3 were discussed. Compared the forming conditions of the sinking columns developed in other coal mining areas in north China coal field, the paper deduced that the above factors collude karst development and sinking column formation, the columns in current geothermal areas are permeable and those in high coal rank areas or in paleo abnormally geothermal areas. The paper suggested that the sinking columns in the current abnormally geothermal areas were permeable, but those in the areas with high coal rank were not on contract.展开更多
