Abstract:
Objective To compare the size of ablation lesions created by normal saline enhanced radiofrequency ablation (NS-RFA) and dilute hydrochloric acid enhanced radiofrequency ablation (HCl-RFA), explore their affecting factors, and observe the morphological manifestations of the ablated lesions.Methods NS-RFA and HCl-RFA were performed on 30 excised porcine livers with 9 different combinations of durations (5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes), temperatures (83, 93, 103, and 113 ℃ ) and powers (20, 30,and 40W). For each ablated lesion, the longitudinal and transverse diameters were measured, and volumes calculated. Multifactor analysis of variance was used to analyze the affecting factors of the size of ablated lesions. Macroscopic and microscopic morphological characteristics of lesions were observed. Results ( 1 )NS-RFA lesion volumes under 9 combinations were ( 3.53 ± 0. 34 ), (6. 41 ± 0. 42 ), ( 10. 69 ± 0. 37 ),(11.40±0.51), (3.20±0.23), (6.59 ±0.50), (12.11 ±0.70), (11.12 ±0.52), (11.81 ±0. 64) cm3, respectively. HCl-RFA lesion volumes under 9 combinations were ( 11.97 ± 1. 00), (28.72 ±0.99), (59.45 ±1.33), (105.65 ±2.40), (13.64±0.60), (29.70±0.58), (59.22±1.32),( 57. 22 ± 3.99 ), ( 59. 74 ± 2. 18 )cm3, respectively. The size differences of ablation zones caused by different types of ablation ( F = 948.9 ) ( main factor), durations ( F = 269. 3 ) and temperatures ( F =214. 6) (covariates) were statistically significant (P ＜ 0. 01 ), whereas which caused by power ( F = 0. 2 )(covariate) was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0. 05 ). (2)At gross examination, all ablation lesions were elliptical in cross section and there were three zones in NS-RFA induced lesions and five zones in HCl-RFA induced lesions. At microscopic examination of NS-RFA induced lesions, a small amount of liver cell debris were found at the edge of zone Ⅰ , a few of deformed and ruptured liver cells in zone Ⅱ. The shape of the most of the liver cells in zone Ⅲ was normal. At microscopic examination of HCl-RFA induced lesions, a small amount of liver cell debris were found at the edge of zone Ⅰ , classical coagulation necrosis in zone Ⅱ and Ⅲ, widened hepatic sinusoids lossened junction of hepatocytes and some hepatocytes detached into sinusoids in zones Ⅳ. The liver cells in zone V were normalexcept a small amount of hepatoeytes with pyknosis, karyorrhexis and karyolysis. Condusion Compared with NS-RFA, HCl-RFA can produce lager ablation zones. The duration and temperature were the factors that affected the size of ablation zone. HCl-RFA lesions typically showed coagulation necrosis at microscopical examination.
