Objective To investigate the influence of preoperative serum heat shock protein 90α (HSP90α) level on the survival time of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated by transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 97 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who received TACE alone in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, from January 1, 2019 to June 1, 2020. With the median of serum HSP90α level as the cut-off value, the patients were divided into high-level group with 48 patients (HSP90α > 135 ng/L) and low-level group with 49 patients (HSP90α ≤135 ng/L). The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the median survival time, and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. The log-rank univariate analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors for the survival time of patients after surgery. Results There were significant differences between the high-level group and the low-level group in Child-Pugh class ( χ 2 =19.356, P <0.01), tumor necrosis ( χ 2 =9.964, P =0.002), BCLC staging ( χ 2 =22.356, P <0.01), and ECOG score ( χ 2 =6.644, P <0.05). The high-level group had a significantly shorter median survival time than the low-level group ( χ 2 =15.551, P <0.01). HSP90α level (hazard ratio [ HR ]=1.690, P <0.05) and BCLC staging ( HR =2.373, P <0.05) were independent influencing factors for the survival time of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after TACE. Conclusion Preoperative serum HSP90α level is an independent influencing factor for the survival time of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after TACE, and it is expected to become one of the potential indicators for evaluating the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated by TACE.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with microwave ablation (MWA) (TACE-MWA) versus repeat resection (RR) in the treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (RHCC). Methods A total of 178 patients with RHCC who were admitted to The Second People's Hospital of Neijiang from June 2015 to September 2020 were enrolled, and according to the treatment modality, they were divided into RR group with 64 patients and TACE-MWA group with 114 patients. Baseline demographic data, liver function, and tumor conditions before treatment were recorded, and the patients were followed up to October 2021 to compare postoperative overall survival (OS) time and recurrence-free survival (RFS) time between the two groups. Subgroup analysis based on recurrence pattern (recurrence time and tumor size) was performed, and the influencing factors for prognosis were analyzed. The independent samples t -test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data; the Kaplan-Meier method was used for postoperative survival rate, the Log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis, and a multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to investigate independent risk factors for survival. Results The multivariate analysis showed that tumor diameter, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level, alanine aminotransferase, albumin, and time to recurrence were independent prognostic factors for OS (all P < 0.05), and AFP level and time to recurrence were independent prognostic factors for RFS (both P < 0.05). For RHCC with late recurrence (> 2 years), there were significant differences between the two groups in median OS (54.0 months vs 36.0 months, χ 2 =6.171, P =0.013) and median RFS (28.0 months vs 21.0 months, χ 2 = 5.211, P =0.022). For RHCC with a tumor diameter of ≤5 cm, there was a significant difference in median OS between the two groups (33.0 months vs 27.0 months, χ 2 =6.447, P =0.011). Conclusion RR has a similar clinical effect to TACE-MWA in RHCC with early recurrence or a tumor diameter of > 5 cm, but RR should be the first choice for RHCC with late recurrence or a tumor diameter of ≤5 cm.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction technology of Zhideke granules. ME THODS:The extraction technology (water extraction ,alcohol extraction ,water extraction and ethanol precipitation )of Zhideke granules was initially screened by ammonia-induced cough experiment and xylene-induced ear swelling experiment in mice. Based on its preparation route ,the immersion time of medicinal materials containing volatile oil was investigated with water absorption as index firstly. The single factor test was adopted to investigate the amount of water added and the extraction time taking the volatile oil yield as index to optimize the extraction technology of medicinal materials containing volatile oil. Taking the contents of irisflorentin and total flavonoids as indicators ,on the basis of single factor investigation ,orthogonal test was adopted to examine the influence of three factors including the amount of water added ,extraction time and extraction frequency ,so as to optimize the water extraction technology of Zhideke granules and the validation tests were conducted. RESULTS :The results of pharmacodynamics experiment showed that the cough latency of mice in water extract low-dose and high-dose groups (6.34,12.68 g/kg,by crude drug )and water-extraction alcohol-precipitation extract high-dose group (12.68 g/kg,by crude drug )were significantly longer than those inmodel group ,and the number of cough within 2 minutes was significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group , the ear swelling of mice in water extract low-dose and high-dose groups (6.34,12.68 g/kg,by crude drug),ethanol extract high-dose group (12.68 g/kg,by crude drug) and water-extraction alcohol-precipitation extract hig dose group (12.68 g/kg,by crude drug ) were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The swelling inhibition rates were 42.26%,55.08%,33.49%,51.56%,39.57% and 44.36% in low-dose and high-dose groups of water extract ,alcohol extract , water-extraction and alcohol-precipitation extract respectively ,indicating that the water extract had better antitussive and anti-inflammatory effects. The optimal extraction technology of volatile oil was adding 5-fold water ,soaking for 30 minutes,and extracting for 3 hours. The optimal water extraction technology was adding 12-fold water ,extracting for 3 times after soaked for 50 min,lasting for 1 h each time. Results of 3 times of validation tests showed that average content of irisflorentin in the extract obtained by optimal technology was 76.47 μg/g(RSD= 2.15%,n=3)and the average content of total flavonoids was 92.45 mg/g(RSD=0.48%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS :The optimal extraction technology of Zhideke granules is stable and feasible.
