Effect of primary tumor side on survival outcomes in metastatic colorectal cancer patients after hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy

AIM To analyze the survival data between patients diagnosed with right-sided primary(RSP) tumors and patients diagnosed with left-sided primary(LSP) tumors after hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC) at our center.METHODS A retrospective analysis of pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer patients who received HAIC from May 2006 to August 2015 was conducted. A Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to assess the long-term survival outcomes. The mean and median age of patients was 61 years(range 27-85 years). There were 115 males and 53 females in our study.RESULTS One hundred sixty-eight patients were enrolled in this study. The overall response rate was 28.9% in LSP patients and 27.3% in RSP patients. The disease control rate was 76.3% in LSP patients and 69.7% in RSP patients. The median overall survival in response to HAIC was 16.3 mo in the LSP arm and 9.3 mo in the RSP arm(P = 0.164). The median progression-free survival was 5.7 mo in the LSP arm and 4.2 mo in the RSP arm(P = 0.851).CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in survival between LSP patients and RSP patients after HAIC. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

SIMULTANEOUS OVER-EXPRESSION OF INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR- Ⅱ (IGF- Ⅱ ) AND IGF- Ⅱ RECEPTOR(IGF- Ⅱ R) GENES IN HUMAN PRIMARY CANCER-IMPLICATION OF AUTOCRINE AND PARACRINE MECHANISM IN AUTONOMOUS GROWTH OF HEPATIC CANCER

This is first report about the simultaneous over-expression of both Insulin-like growth factor (IGF- I ) and its receptor (IGF- I R) at mRNA level in human primary hepatic Cancer (PHC). In 10 PHC samples from China, IGF-I and IGF- I R were both over-expressed, whereas only a background signal was detected in normal liver. In 5 pairs of PHC and its non- tumorous adjacent liver tissues from South Africa, IGF- I and IGF- I R were also over-expressed in PHC. mRNA expression of IGF- I in all 5 cases and IGF- I R in 4 of 5 cases were higher in cancer than non- tumorous adjacent liver tissues. These results strongly implicate that an autocrine and/ or paracrine mechanism might be Involved in formation and progression of PHC.

Risk factors for post-hepatectomy liver dysfunction in primary liver cancer patients with concurrent hepatic schistosomiasis and chronic hepatitis

Objective:The purpose of this study was to analyze risk factors for development of post-hepatectomy liver dysfunction in primary liver cancer(PLC)patients with concurrent hepatic schistosomiasis and chronic hepatitis.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 73 PLC patients with concurrent hepatic schistosomiasis and chronic hepatitis,of which 16 patients developed liver dysfunction(persistent ascites or pleural effusion or occurrence of liver-related potentially fatal complications)following hepatectomy,was performed.After clinical characteristics were recorded,preoperative liver function parameters and surgery-related parameters in these patients were assessed.Seventeen potential risk factors for post-hepatectomy liver dysfunction were identified.The association between these potential risk factors and post-hepatectomy liver dysfunction then was analyzed.Results:Univariate analysis showed that liver cirrhosis,intraoperative blood loss,and preoperative total bilirubin were associated with the development of post-hepatectomy liver dysfunction.Multivariate logistic regression analysis of these three factors revealed that intraoperative blood loss≥600 mL and cirrhosis were two independent risk factors for post-hepatectomy liver dysfunction in PLC patients with concurrent hepatic schistosomiasis and chronic hepatitis.Conclusion:Keeping intraoperative blood loss below 600 mL can help avoid the development of post-hepatectomy liver dysfunction in liver cancer patients with concurrent hepatic schistosomiasis and chronic hepatitis.For patients with concomitant liver cirrhosis,every effort should be made to minimize potential liver function impairment induced by other adverse factors.

HIGH DOSE INTRA-ARTERIAL HEPATIC INFUSIONAL CHEMOTHERAPY WITH DRUG FILTRATION (HAI-F) FOR PRIMARY LIVER CANCER(A PRELIMINARY REPORT)

Fifteen patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma were treated with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma were treated with high dose MMC or ADR via hepatic artery with drug filtration in our hospital from April to December 1988. Among them, 11 cases (73%) had symptoms relief, 3 cases (20%) tumor minimal remission and AFP decreased in 4 cases (33%). One case dide of hep'atoma 8 months after HAI-F and another case was followed up only 2 months after treatment, the remaining 13 cases are alive for 5 to 10 months after HAI-F. The reasons of unsatisfactory results were analyzed and possible ways of improvement were suggested.

Negative impact of hepatitis B surface seroclearance on prognosis of hepatitis B-related primary liver cancer

AIM To assess the impact of hepatitis B surface(HBs Ag) seroclearance on survival outcomes in hepatitis B-related primary liver cancer.METHODS Information from patients with hepatitis B-related liver cancer admitted in our hospital from 2008-2017 was retrieved. Cases diagnosed with HBs Ag(-) and HBc Ab(+) liver cancer were included in the HBs Ag seroclearance(SC) group. HBs Ag(+) liver cancer patients strictly matched for liver cancer stage(AJCC staging system, 8 th edition), Child-Pugh score, and first diagnosis/treatment method(surgery, ablation and TACE) were assigned to the HBsA g non-seroclearance(NSC) group. Then, clinical, pathological and survival data in both groups were assessed.RESULTS The SC and NSC groups comprised of 72 and 216 patients, respectively. Patient age(P < 0.001) and platelet count(P = 0.001) in the SC group were significantly higher than those of the NSC group. SC group patients who underwent surgery had more intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC) and combined HCC-CC(CHC) cases than the NSC group, but no significant differences in tumor cell differentiation and history of liver cirrhosis were found between the two groups. The numbers of interventional treatments were similar in both groups(4.57 vs 5.07, P > 0.05). Overall survival was lower in the SC group than the NSC group(P = 0.019), with 1-,3-, and 5-year survival rates of 82.1% vs 85.1%, 43.2%vs 56.8%, and 27.0% vs 45.2%, respectively. Survival of patients with AJCC stage Ⅰ disease in the SC group was lower than that of the NSC group(P = 0.029).CONCLUSION Seroclearance in patients with hepatitis B-related primary liver cancer has protective effects with respect to tumorigenesis, cirrhosis, and portal hypertension but confers worse prognosis, which may be due to the frequent occurrence of highly malignant ICC and CHC.

Epstein-Barr virus negative primary hepatic leiomyoma: Case report and literature review

Primary hepatic leiomyoma is a neoplasm of mesen-chymal origin and occurs only rarely. Secondary to benign smooth muscle proliferation, it is usually found in adult women and is associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Here, we report the 29 th case of primary hepatic leiomyoma with its unique features related to diagnosis, treatment and developmental biology. A 48-year-old man, with an immunocompromised status, complained of pain in the upper quadrant of the abdomen. Serological analysis indicated no presence of hepatitis virus, no human immunodeficiency virus, and no EBV infection. The levels of α-fetoproteinand carcinoembryonic antigen were normal. A mass was detected in segment Ⅲ of the hepatic lobe by ultrasonography and an abdominal computed tomography scan. Endoscopy had negative findings. Exploratory laparotomy found no existing extrahepatic tumor and left lateral lobectomy was performed. Pathological examination showed the mass to be a typical leiomyoma. The cells were positive for α-smooth muscle actin and desmin, and negative for the makers of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), including CD117, CD34 and DOG1 (discovered on GIST1). In situ hybridization revealed negative status for EBV-encoded small RNA. After left lateral lobectomy, the patient was not given chemotherapy or radiotherapy. During a 2-year follow- up, no sign of local recurrence or distant metastasis was observed. In conclusion, we report a rare case of primary hepatic leiomyoma in a male patient without EBV infection. Hepatic resection was curative. This case presents data to expand our knowledge concerning the complex and heterogeneous nature of primary liver leiomyoma, indicating that EBV infection is important but neither necessary nor sufficient for the development of primary liver leiomyoma.

Primary hepatic angiosarcoma manifesting as hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome:A case report

BACKGROUND Primary hepatic angiosarcoma(PHA)is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis.It is difficult to diagnose PHA because of the lack of specific symptoms or tumour markers,and it rapidly progresses and has a high mortality.To our knowledge,PHA has not been reported to mimic hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome.Herein,we present a case of PHA manifesting as hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome,diagnosed using transjugular liver biopsy,that resulted in the death of the patient.CASE SUMMARY A 71-year-old man was admitted with the primary complaint of abdominal distension,decreased appetite,fatigue in the previous month,and loss of 10 kg of weight in the past 2 years.Both the liver and spleen were enlarged,and the liver had a medium-hard texture on percussion.Laboratory examinations were performed,and abdominal plain computed tomography(CT)and contrastenhanced CT showed hepatomegaly and splenomegaly,as well as diffuse lowdensity shadows distributed in the liver and spleen.Contrast-enhanced CT revealed diffuse,hypodense,nodular or flake shadows in the liver and heterogeneous enhancement in the spleen.A transjugular liver biopsy was performed.Based on the pathology results,the patient was diagnosed with hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome secondary to PHA.The patient’s status further deteriorated and he developed serious hepatic failure.The patient was discharged,and died 3 d later.CONCLUSION PHA is rare and has a poor prognosis;however,transjugular liver biopsy can be safely performed to aid in diagnosis.

Multifunctional roles of inflammation and its causative factors in primary liver cancer:A literature review

Primary liver cancer is a severe and complex disease,leading to 800000 global deaths annually.Emerging evidence suggests that inflammation is one of the critical factors in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Patients with viral hepatitis,alcoholic hepatitis,and steatohepatitis symptoms are at higher risk of developing HCC.However,not all inflammatory factors have a pathogenic function in HCC development.The current study describes the process and mechanism of hepatitis development and its progression to HCC,particularly focusing on viral hepatitis,alcoholic hepatitis,and steatohepatitis.Furthermore,the roles of some essential inflammatory cytokines in HCC progression are described in addition to a summary of future research directions.

EXPERIMENTAL PRIMARY LIVER CANCER IN TREE SHREWS EXPOSED TO HUMAN HEPATITIS B VIRUS AND AFLATOXIN B_(1)

On the basis of the successful establishment of an animal model in tree shrews experimentally in fected with human hepatitis B virus (HHBV), a study on the hepatocarcinogenic effects of HHBV and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) by using this animal model was conducted through a lifelong experiment. Among 41 tree shrews exposed to AFB1, 17 were experimentally infected by HHBV and 24 were uninfected. After 158 weeks, significant difference of primary liver cancer (PLC) incidence was present between the HHBV infected (52.94%) and uninfected (12.5%) groups (p<0.05). No difference was found between these two groups in the amount of AFB4 ingestion. Moreover, 1/9 of the tree shrews infected only by HHBV but not exposed to AFB4 developed PLC. No PLC was found in 6 tree shrews that had neither been infected with HHBV nor been exposed to AFB4. These results suggest the possible etiologic relationship between HHBV infection and PLC, as well as the synergetic effects of HHBV and AFB4 during PLC development.

Socioeconomics and attributable etiology of primary liver cancer,1990-2019

BACKGROUND Primary liver cancer(PLC)is a major contributor to cancer-related deaths.Data on global and country-specific levels and trends of PLC are essential for understanding the effects of this disease and helping policymakers to allocate resources.AIM To investigate the association between the burden of PLC and socioeconomic development status.METHODS Cancer mortality and incidence rates were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease(GBD)2019,and the data were stratified by country and territory,sex,and the Socio-demographic Index(SDI)level.The association between the attributable etiology of PLC and socioeconomic development status,represented using the SDI,was described.The attributable etiology of PLC included hepatitis B,hepatitis C,alcohol use,and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.The association between the attributable etiology of PLC and SDI was further stratified by sex and geographical location.A confidence analysis was also performed based on bootstrap draw.RESULTS The age-standardized incidence rate of PLC was 6.5[95%confidence intervals(CI):5.9-7.2]per 100000 person-years,which decreased by-27.5%(-37.0 to-16.6)from 1990 to 2019.Several countries located in East Asia,South Asia,West Africa,and North Africa shouldered the heaviest burden of PLC in 2019.In terms of incidence rates,the first leading underlying cause of PLC identified was hepatitis B,followed by hepatitis C,alcohol use,and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.Regarding stratification using the SDI,the incidence rate of PLC was the highest for high and middle SDI locations.Further,the leading attributable etiologies of PLC were hepatitis B for the middle and high middle SDI locations while hepatitis C and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis for the high SDI locations.CONCLUSION The pronounced association between socioeconomic development status and PLC burden indicates socioeconomic development status affects attributable etiologies for PLC.GBD 2019 data are valuable for policymakers implementing PLC cost-effective interventions.

Hairy cell leukemia presenting as multiple discrete hepatic lesions

The involvement of hairy cell leukemia in the liver is in the form of portal and sinusoidal cellular infiltration. Here we describe the first case of hepatic hairy cell leukemia presenting as multiple discrete lesions,which was treated successfully.We suggest that in the inves- tigation of discrete hepatic lesions in cases of cancer of unknown primary,hairy cell leukemia should be consid- ered.The excellent response of hairy cell leukemia to therapy highlights the need for such a consideration.

Study on correlation between pathology and the contrast-enhanced ultrasound characteristics of primary liver cancer

Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) for blood perfusion of primary liver cancer(PHC) and investigate the correlation between microvascular architecture of PHC and pathological differentiation.Methods:Two hundred and seventy-eight patients with 329 PHC lesions were examined by CEUS and analysised the contrast enhancement pattern and correlation with pathology.Results:1.CEUS patterns of PHC:71.7%(236/329) showed "swift enhancement in the arterial phase and swift expurgation in the portal phase",13.4%(44/329) for as "swift enhancement and slow expurgation",7.3%(24/329) as "swift enhancement and simultaneity expurgation",4.3%(14/329) for the "slow enhancement and swift expurgation",2.1%(7/329) as "slow enhancement and expurgation",1.2%(4/329) as "not fast forward".2.90.3%(297/329) of PHC lesions were hypervascular liver cancer and 9.7%(32/329) were hypovascular.Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) were hypervascular lesions and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC) were hypovascular lesions.3.PHC size had a significant difference on the contrast media purfusion pattern(P < 0.05),but not on the contrast media expurgation pattern.4.The accuracy of PHC by CEUS were 97.3% and compared to pathology,9 lesions of PHC were misdiagnosed.Conclusion:CEUS can show the different blood perfusion characteristics of PHC with closely related to pathological differentiation,which be valuable to diagnose liver cancer.

Correlation analysis of TCM syndrome types with T lymphocytes and biochemical indices in patients with HBV-related primary liver cancer

Objective:To investigate the correlation between T lymphocytes and biochemical indices in patients with Primary liver cancer(PLC)associated with hepatitis B virus(HBV)and TCM syndrome differentiation.Methods:263 HBV-related PLC patients who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively collected.There were 127 cases of liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome(48.3%),48 cases of spleen deficiency and dampness syndrome(18.3%),31 cases of liver and gallbladder dampness and heat syndrome(11.8%),35 cases of liver and blood stasis syndrome(13.3%),and 22 cases of liver and kidney Yin deficiency syndrome(8.4%).The general data,T cell subsets,oncology and virology indicators,oncology characteristics,biochemical indicators and other data were counted.Epidata and Excel were used to collect and summarize the data,and SPSS26.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:There was no significant difference in gender and age distribution among the five syndrome types(χ^(2)=5.462,F=1.979,ALL P>0.05).The differences among T lymphocyte count(χ^(2)=57.785,P<0.001),CD4(+)T cell count(χ^(2)=47.103,P<0.001)and CD8(+)T lymphocyte count(F=12.760,P<0.001)were statistically significant.The T lymphocyte count,CD4(+)T lymphocyte count and CD8(+)T lymphocyte explicit count in patients with liver and kidney Yin deficiency syndrome were significantly lower than those in the other four syndrome types.AFP(χ^(2)=89.986,P<0.001),CEA(χ^(2)=95.501,P<0.001),CA199(χ^(2)=30.044,P<0.001)of the five syndrome types increased successively from the syndrome of liver depression and spleen deficiency to the syndrome of liver and kidney Yin deficiency,and the difference was statistically significant.There were statistically significant differences in the inner diameter of main portal vein,portal vein cancer thrombin and extrahepatic metastasis among the five syndrome types(ALL P<0.001).The main symptoms of portal vein cancer thrombin and extrahepatic metastasis were liver-gallbladder dampness-heat syndrome and liver-blood stasis syndrome.The differences among PLT(χ^(2)=39.234,P<0.001),Alb(χ^(2)=75.171,P<0.001),TBil(χ^(2)=51.140,P<0.001),AST(χ^(2)=55.881,P<0.001),PT(χ^(2)=21.515,P<0.001)were statistically significant.PLT and Alb decreased successively from the syndrome of liver depression and spleen deficiency to the syndrome of liver and kidney Yin deficiency.PLT and Alb of the syndrome of liver depression and spleen deficiency were significantly higher than those of the other four groups,and TBil and AST of the syndrome of liver and gallbladder dampness and heat were significantly higher than those of the other four groups.PT of liver and kidney Yin deficiency was significantly higher than that of the other four groups.The lymphocyte count,CD4(+) lymphocyte count and CD8(+) lymphocyte count were negatively correlated with AFP,PT and TBil(ALL P<0.05),and positively correlated with PLT(P<0.05).T lymphocyte count was positively correlated with AIb(P<0.05).Conclusion:This study found that patients with liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome have better cellular immune function,liver function and prognosis.Patients with liver and kidney Yin deficiency have lower cellular immunity,worse liver function,and worse prognosis.Portal vein carcinoma embolus and extrahepatic metastasis were mainly characterized by dampness and heat of liver and gallbladder and blood stasis of liver.Patients with lower lymphocyte counts have poorer blood clotting,worse the liver reserve,and the higher the risk of further cancer.

Clinical and Paraclinical Profiling of Patients with Viral Hepatitis B and C Attending Saint Camille Hospital in Ouagadougou (HOSCO)

The present study aims to describe the clinical and paraclinical profile of patients infected by viral hepatitis B and C and follow-up. The clinical and paraclinical data used in this description are from patients infected by viral hepatitis B and C of the HOSCO Hepato-Gastroenterological Department from May 15, 2021 to July 23, 2021. The informed consent was provided to each patient included in this study. “Univariate analyses were evaluated using Pearson’s Chi2 test” using R software version 4.0.2. During the study period, we identified 149 patients with viral hepatitis B and/or C who met our inclusion criteria. The sex ratio was 0.83 at the rate of 68 men for 81 women with the average age at 37.17 years ± 12.21 years. The most represented age group was 30 - 44 years (49.7%). The most incriminated risk factors were medical care by injection (62.58%), excision (31.90%), blood transfusion (4.29%) and scarification (1.23%). HBV infection was the majority with a frequency of 95.97%. The HBV viral load was measured in 91.95% of patients, 77.18% of whom had a detectable DNA viral load ≤ 2000 IU/mL. The clinical and biological course was good in patients after therapeutic initiation. HBV-HCV-HIV co-infection was 0.67%. Abdominal ultrasound was normal in 87.92% of patients. Fibrosis was minimal and moderate in 58.39% and 19.46% of patients. Among patients, 52.35% were on Tenofovir therapy, 2.68% on Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir, 0.67% on ARVs and 44.29% did not require treatment. Viral hepatitis B and C are common, and both affect sex. Thus, new screening strategies need to be implemented to improve the diagnosis of hepatitis B and C. Effective strategies against viral hepatitis B and C must be developed, subsequently.

原发性肝癌患者经肝动脉化疗栓塞术治疗后癌因性疲乏发生的影响因素及管理对策分析

目的:分析原发性肝癌患者经肝动脉化疗栓塞术治疗后癌因性疲乏发生的有关因素及管理对策。方法:回顾性分析2021年2月—2023年2月郑州大学第一附属医院收治的115例行肝动脉化疗栓塞术的原发性肝癌患者的临床资料,以Piper疲乏修订量表(PFS-R)统计患者术后癌因性疲乏发生情况;另收集患者的年龄、性别等资料,统计患者术后癌因性疲乏发生的影响因素。结果:115例行肝动脉化疗栓塞术治疗的原发性肝癌患者中,术后共有23例发生癌因性疲乏,发生率为20.00%(23/115)。单因素分析结果显示:性别、年龄、文化程度、高血压史、糖尿病史、肿瘤分期与原发性肝癌患者经肝动脉化疗栓塞术治疗后癌因性疲乏发生无关,差异无统计学意义(χ^(2)=0.078、0.009、2.266、0.038、0.079、0,P>0.05);独居、家庭月收入、医疗费用支付方式、对疾病认知程度、病程、辅助放疗、社会支持水平与原发性肝癌患者经肝动脉化疗栓塞术治疗后癌因性疲乏发生有关,差异有统计学意义(χ^(2)=9.557、14.944、9.590、19.120、13.939、12.990、13.645,P<0.05);logistic回归分析结果显示:独居(OR=4.614)、家庭月收入<5000元(OR=7.084)、医疗费用自费(OR=4.286)、对疾病无认知(OR=10.000)、病程>3年(OR=7.389),有辅助放疗(OR=5.856)、社会支持水平低(OR=8.382)为原发性肝癌患者经肝动脉化疗栓塞术治疗后癌因性疲乏发生的独立危险因素,差异有统计学意义(χ^(2)=9.557、14.944、9.590、19.120、13.939、12.990、13.645,P<0.05)。结论:原发性肝癌患者经肝动脉化疗栓塞术治疗后癌因性疲乏发生风险较高,而其发生的因素众多,包括独居、家庭月收入<5000元、医疗费用自费、对疾病无认知、有辅助放疗、社会支持水平低等。因此,临床需对上述高危人群给予重点关注,并施以个体化管理对策,保证患者身心健康。

原发性肝癌患者TACE术后综合征的危险因素分析

目的探讨原发性肝癌经皮肝动脉化疗栓塞(TACE)术后综合征临床表现及相关影响因素。方法回顾性分析89例原发性肝癌患者的临床资料,均行TACE术治疗,依据是否发生术后综合征分为两组,通过查阅病例资料、电话随访等多种方式收集两组基础资料行Logistic回归分析,获得影响原发性肝癌TACE术后综合征的独立危险因素。结果89例患者共44例发生术后综合征,发生率为49.44%(44/89);其中恶心呕吐15例(34.09%)、发热8例(18.18%)、肝区疼痛7例(15.91%)、腹胀9例(20.45%)、肝功能损害5例(11.36%);两组年龄、合并肝硬化、碘油剂量、肿瘤大小、Child分级相比,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);多因素显示,年龄≥60岁、合并肝硬化、碘油剂量≥10 ml、巨块型肿瘤及Child分级B级为影响原发性肝癌TACE术后综合征的高危因素(P<0.05且OR>1)。结论原发性肝癌TACE术后综合征发生风险较高,与年龄≥60岁、合并肝硬化、碘油剂量≥10 ml、巨块型肿瘤及Child分级B级关系密切,还需尽早开展针对性干预,减少术后综合征发生。
