Short-term efficacy assessment of transarterial chemoembolization combined with radioactive iodine therapy in primary hepatocellular carcinoma

BACKGROUND Transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)is an effective treatment for primary hepatocellular carcinoma(PHC).Radioactive iodine therapy has been used in the treatment of advanced PHC,especially in patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis.However,data on the therapeutic effect of TACE combined with radioactive iodine therapy in PHC are scarce.AIM To investigate the clinical efficacy of TACE combined with radioactive iodine implantation therapy in advanced PHC via perfusion computed tomography(CT).METHODS For this study,98 advanced PHC patients were recruited and divided randomly into the study and control groups.Patients in the study group were treated with TACE combined radioactive iodine implantation therapy.Patients in the control group were treated with only TACE.The tumor lesion length,clinical effect,serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)and CT perfusion parameters were compared before and after therapy,and statistical analysis was performed.RESULTS There was no significant difference in tumor length and serum AFP between the study and control groups(P>0.05)before treatment.However,the tumor length and serum AFP in the study group were lower than those in the control group 1 mo and 3 mo after therapy.After 3 mo of treatment,the complete and partial remission rate of the study group was 93.88%,which was significantly higher than the control group(77.55%)(P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no significant differences between the two groups on the perfusion CT variables,including the lesion blood volume,permeability surface,blood flow,hepatic artery flow and mean transit time(P>0.05).After 3 mo of treatment,all perfusion CT variables were lower in the study group compared to the control group(P<0.05).The survival time of patients in the study group was 22 mo compared to 18 mo in the control group,which was significantly different[log rank(Mantel-Cox)=4.318,P=0.038].CONCLUSION TACE combined with radioactive iodine implantation in the treatment of advanced PHC can inhibit the formation of blood vessels in tumor tissue and reduce the perfusion level of tumor lesions,thereby improving the clinical efficacy and prolonging the survival time of patients.

Patients with advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma treated by melatonin and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization: a prospective study

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of tran- scatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and TACE+MLT (melatonin) on inoperable advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: From January 1997 to January 1998, one hundred patients with inoperable advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma were treated separately by TACE (50) and TACE+MLT (20 mg/d at 8:00 PM orally, 7 days before TACE) (50). Results: The effective rates (WHO standards) of TACE and TACE+MLT were 16% and 28% respec- tively (P<0.05). After TACE or TACE+MLT, the resection rate at two-stage of TACE was 4% or 14% (P<0. 01). The 0.5-, 1- and 2-year survival rates in the TACE group were 82%, 54% and 26% respectively; in the TACE+MLT group 100%, 68% and 40% respectively. The results were significantly better in the TACE+MLT group than in the TACE group. MLT could protect liver function from the damage caused by TACE. The IL-2 levels of all pa- tients significantly increased, whereas sIL-2R expres- sions decreased after TACE+MLT as compared with the TACE group (P<0.01). Conclusions: With definite protection and treatment effect on the liver function damage caused by TACE, MLT can enhance the immunological activities of pa- tients. It also can improve the effect of TACE by in- creasing the survival and resection rate after two- stage operation.

Analysis of tumor recurrence factors in patients of primary hepatocellular carcinoma with postoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)

Objective： The aim of the study was to analyze the tumor recurrence factors in patients of primary hepatocellular carcinoma （PHC） with postoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization （TACE）. Methods： A total of 121 cases of PHC by TACE after 1-2 months of surgery was retrospectively analyzed, followed up and analyzed the free survival time and the factors related to tumor-free survival. Results： In all 121 cases, 1-, 2-, and 3-year tumor-free survival rates were 72.73%, 46.21% and 26.93%, respectively. Gender, age, HBV infection, tumor size, capsule is complete, degree of differentiation and the presence of vascular thrombosis were put into the COX proportional hazards model of survival time to select the influential variables. In the clinical data of all variables entering COX proportional hazards model, tumor size, tumor differentiation and the presence of vascular thrombosis were statistically significant contributions to the model. In the tumor diameter less than or equal 10 cm [P = 0.040, Exp （B） = 2.210], vascular thrombosis [P = 0.039, Exp （B） = 2.922] and the lower degree of tumor differentiation [P = 0.035, Exp （B） = 3.038], the risk of tumor recent recurrence increased. Conclusion： Tumor size, differentiation, and the presence of vascular thrombosis are the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of PHC after TACE.

Jinlong capsule decreases adverse reactions after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Objective The aim of this study was to analyze whether Jinlong capsule could decrease adverse reactions after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Eighty-two patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were randomly divided into the control group and experimental group. On the first day after TACE, the experimental group started receiving four Jinlong capsules orally three times daily, whereas the control group did not receive the treatment.Results The incidences of erythropenia and thrombocytopenia in the experimental group was lower than those in the control group(P = 0.040 and 0.033, respectively). The differences in serum levels of aminotransferase, albumin, potassium, and sodium between the two groups were significant(P = 0.034, 0.034, 0.013, and 0.044, respectively). The mean durations of stomachache and abdominal distension in the experimental group was significantly shorter than those in the control group(P = 0.004 and 0.021, respectively). However, there were no significant differences in the incidences of nausea, fever, and vomiting between the two groups(P = 0.490, 0.495, and 0.585, respectively). Conclusion The reduction in the incidence rate and duration of partial adverse reactions after TACE was observed in hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with Jinlong capsule compared to untreated patients, suggesting possible beneficial effects exerted by Jinlong capsule on the reduction of TACE-induced liver damage, thereby improving liver function and, consequently, the quality of life.

Evaluation of short-term effects of drug-loaded microspheres and traditional transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in the treatment of advanced liver cancer

BACKGROUND Liver cancer is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality.Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)is the main method for surgically unresectable liver cancer.In recent years,drug-loaded microspheres have been gradually applied in TACE technology.There are some controversies about the therapeutic effects of drug-loaded microspheres TACE(D-TACE)and traditional TACE.AIM To explore the short-term efficacy of D-TACE and traditional TACE in the treatment of advanced liver cancer.METHODS The clinical data of 73 patients with advanced liver cancer admitted to the First and Sixth Medical Centers of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,15 patients were treated with D-TACE,and 58 patients were treated with traditional TACE.Clinical baseline characteristics,perioperative laboratory indices,postoperative adverse reactions and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.RESULTS There was no statistical difference between the two groups for the postoperative response:The highest postoperative body temperature of the drug-loaded microsphere group was 38.0±0.9℃and the postoperative highest body temperature of the traditional TACE group was 38.3±0.7℃(t=-1.414,P=0.162).For the 24 h postoperative nausea and vomiting after surgery in terms of scoring and postoperative pain scores,the traditional TACE group was higher than the drugloaded microsphere group(χ2=14.33,P=0.014;χ2=32.967,P=0.000)and the two groups had significant statistical differences.The disease control rate at 3 mo after treatment in the drugloaded microsphere group was 60%and the disease control rate at 3 mo after treatment in the traditional TACE group was 75.9%(χ2=4.091,P=0.252).There was no statistical difference between the two groups of data.During the follow-up period,the number of interventional treatments received was once in the drug-loaded microsphere group and the traditional TACE group received an average of 1.48 treatments(χ2=10.444 P=0.005).There was a statistical difference between the two groups.CONCLUSION Compared with traditional TACE,D-TACE may have some advantages in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with a large tumor load in the short term,but the long-term clinical efficacy needs additional follow-up studies.In addition,compared with the traditional group,the patients in the drug-loaded microsphere group had better subjective tolerance and could reduce the number of interventional treatments.Therefore,D-TACE is worthy of clinical promotion.

Mechanism of Moxibustion Regulation on Cellular Apoptosis in Rat's Precancerous Lesion of Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Objective： To investigate the mechanism of moxibustion in regulating cellular apoptosis in rat＇s precancerous lesion of primary hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）. Methods： Seventy-four rats were randomly allocated to normal group, model group and moxibustion group, and the diethylic nitrosamine （DEN） was used to establish HCC model. Moxibustion with moxa cone which is as big as a grain of wheat was performed on acupoint Zusanli （ST 36）, 3 cones for each acupoint and 0.5 mg for each cone, the treatment was given once a day, totally 16 weeks. Then the changes in the body weight, liver weight and thymus weight, a morphological change in the liver tissue and changes in γ-GT and GST were observed; Immunohistochemical staining method was adopted to observe the tendency of changes in relevant apoptosis genes such as C-myc, N-ras and mutant type P53, and the influence of moxibustion on cell cycle modulation genes such as cyclinD1, CDK4 and pl6. Results： Moxibustion could reduce the activities of γ-GT and GST in the blood, obviously decrease the protein expression of relevant apoptosis genes such as C-myc, N-ras and mutant type P53 and markedly inhibit the over-expression of relevant cell cycle modulation genes such as cyclinD1 and CDK4 and the mutation of cell cycle modulation gene pl 6. Conclusion： Moxibustion might play a certain role in relieving HCC precancerous lesion and its action mechanism might be related to the regulation on partial apoptosis genes.

目的探讨参芪化瘀方联合经导管动脉化疗栓塞(TACE)治疗原发性肝癌(PHC)患者的效果。方法选取2020年6月至2021年12月广州中医药大学第一附属医院收治的PHC患者60例,采用随机数字表法将其分为对照组及治疗组,每组30例。两组均行TACE及术后对症治疗,治疗组在此基础上加服参芪化瘀方。参照实体瘤临床疗效评价标准1.1评价两组治疗4周后实体瘤疗效,比较两组治疗前及治疗4周后的中医证候积分、肝癌患者生命质量测定量表评分、血清甲胎蛋白(AFP)及白细胞介素(IL)-6、IL-1β、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)水平。结果治疗4周后,两组实体瘤临床疗效比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗4周后,两组胁痛、腹胀、恶心呕吐、纳呆、神疲乏力积分及总积分低于治疗前,发热积分高于治疗前,且治疗组各项证候积分及总积分均低于对照组(P<0.05)。治疗4周后,两组躯体功能、心理功能、症状评分及总分均高于治疗前,且治疗组高于对照组(P<0.05)。治疗4周后,两组血清AFP、IL-6、IL-1β、TNF-α水平均低于治疗前,且治疗组低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论参芪化瘀方联合TACE能有效减轻PHC患者中医临床症状,提高其生活质量,同时下调血清AFP及炎症因子水平。

CalliSpheres■微球经导管肝动脉化疗栓塞术治疗原发性肝癌的疗效观察

目的观察CalliSpheres■微球(CSM)经导管肝动脉化疗栓塞术(DEB-TACE)治疗原发性肝癌的有效性以及影响近期临床疗效和远期预后的因素。方法收集2016年6月至2020年12月嵊州市人民医院接受DEB-TACE治疗的92例原发性肝癌患者临床资料及随访数据,对68例资料完整的患者《采用改良实体瘤疗效评价标准》评估疗效、术后肿瘤最大径以及1个月的肿瘤客观缓解率(ORR)。比较患者的一般资料以分析影响治疗效果的因素。针对患者术后1个月的肝功能指标、甲胎蛋白(AFP)水平和不同分期进行生存分析。结果CSM DEB-TACE治疗后患者肿瘤明显变小。术后1个月的疗效为完全缓解(CR)21例、部分缓解(PR)34例、疾病稳定(SD)6例、疾病进展(PD)7例,ORR为80.9%(55/68)。单因素分析结果显示,患者饮酒史、巴塞罗那肝癌分期(BCLC)和中国肝癌分期(CNLC)明显影响术后疗效。此外,肝功能指标血清TBil、ALT和AST水平在术后1周显著升高,在术后1个月恢复至DEB-TACE治疗前水平。单因素Cox比例风险模型结果显示,AFP水平是影响患者术后的危险因素(P<0.05),BCLC分期为C期和CNLC为Ⅲa期的患者预后结局最差。CSM DEB-TACE术中和术后出现的不良反应多为腹痛、恶心、呕吐、发热。结论CSM DEB-TACE治疗原发性肝癌可以达到较好的临床缓解率,安全性高;AFP水平异常升高影响术后患者的预后,BCLC分期为C期和Ⅲa期患者术后预后最差。
