Methods: 72 patients who were diagnosed with primary hepatic carcinoma were collected as observation group, 65 patients with benign liver disease as benign liver disease group and 80 cases of health examination as healthy control group, the contents of tumor markers alpha fetoprotein(AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), carbohydrate antigen-199(CA199), carbohydrate antigen-125(CA125) and carbohydrate antigen-153(CA153) were determined by electrochemiluminescence in all subjects, then the results of five kinds of tumor markers and the positive rates of each index between the two groups were compared, the diagnostic value of separate and combined detection of different tumor markers in primary hepatic carcinoma were analyzed.Results: The values of AFP, CA199 and CA153 in the observation group were higher than the benign liver disease group, the values of AFP, CEA, CA199, CA125 and CA153 in the observation group were higher than the control group, the values of CA199 and CA125 in the benign liver disease group were higher than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The positive rates of AFP, CEA, CA199 and CA153 in the observation group were higher than the benign liver disease group, the positive rates of AFP, CEA, CA199 and CA125 in the observation group were higher than the control group, the positive rates of AFP, CEA, CA199 and CA125 in the benign liver disease group were higher than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The sensitivity of combined detection of all indicators for primary hepatic carcinoma was 86.4%, specificity, correct index, misdiagnosis rate and missed diagnosis rate were 86.4%, 89.2%, 75.6%, 13.6% and 10.8% respectively, and the combined detection was higher than the correct index of each index.Conclusion: Combined detection of serum tumor markers AFP, CEA, CA199, CA125 and CA153 can improve the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis of primary hepatic carcinoma, it has better diagnostic value for primary hepatic carcinoma.展开更多

Gene amplification and recombination were also examined in some tumors simultaneously. Some alleles of oncogene are reported in Chinese population for the first time. Moreover, the characteristic frequency of some "rare" alleles and genotypes occurred in some tumor samples is significantly higher than that occured in normal individuals. Pedigree analysis for 2 patients showed that some "rare" alleles are also abandant. Besides, gene amplification and recombination were found in some tumors.展开更多

Methods: A total of 104 cases of patients with middle and advanced primary hepaticcarcinoma who were treated in the oncology department from August 2018 to January 2020 were included as the study objects, andwere randomly divided into two groups according to different treatment regimens, 52 cases in each group. Both groups were treatedwith TACE once;the cinobufagin injection group was given intravenous infusion with 500 mL of 5% glucose injection and 10 mLof cinobufagin injection once a day. The elemene injection group was given intravenous infusion with elemene injection of 0.4 geach time and once a day. Both groups were treated for two courses, 15 days of continuous treatment with a rest of 15 days beingone course. The clinical effect, the changes in the indexes of liver function including alanine amino transferase(ALT), aspartatetransaminase(AST) and total bilirubin(TBil), the scores of alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) and Karnofsky (KPS) and tumor volumes aswell as the difference in the incidences of adverse reactions between the two groups were observed and compared. Results: Thetotal clinical effective rate was 88.46% in the elemene injection group and 71.15% in the cinobufagin injection group, and thedifference was significant(P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of ALT, AST and TBil in serum in the two groups were significantlydecreased when compared with those before treatment, differences being significant(P<0.05). There was no significant differencebeing found in the comparison of the levels of ALT, AST and TBil in serum between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, thedecrease of AFP, tumor volume and the increase of KPS scores in the elemene injection group were significantly more than thosein the cinobufagin injection group, differences being significant (P<0.01). During treatment, there was no significant differencebeing found in the comparison of the total incidences of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05). The adverse reactionsin the cinobufagin injection group were mainly nausea and vomiting, with higher incidence than that in the elemene injection group,the difference being significant (P<0.05). The adverse reactions in the elemene injection group were mainly pain at the injectionsite, with higher incidence than that in the cinobufagin injection group, the difference being significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Thetherapy of elemene injection combined with TACE for middle and advanced primary hepatic carcinoma has better clinical effect thanthat of cinobufagin injection, but the occ.展开更多

A...Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors(PHNETs) are extremely rare and difficult to distinguish from other liver tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma, based on medical imaging findings. A 70-year-old man was referred for evaluation of liver mass incidentally discovered on abdominal computed tomography. The characteristic finding from dynamic liver magnetic resonance imaging led to a diagnosis of HCC. The patient underwent right hepatectomy. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination revealed grade 2 neuroendocrine tumor. The postoperative 24-h urinary excretion of 5-hydroxy-indolacetic acid was within the normal range. Further imaging investigations were performed. No other lesions were found making probable the diagnosis of PHNET. This case shows that the diagnosis of PHNET is a medical challenge, requiring differentiation of PHNETs other hepatic masses and exclusion of occult primary neuroendocrine tumors. The diagnosis of PHNET can be ascertained after long term follow-up to exclude another primary origin.展开更多
