ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) versus open liver resection (OLR) in the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated by liver cirrhosis. MethodsA total of 136 patients who were diagnosed with HCC complicated by liver cirrhosis in Linxia Municipal People′s Hospital from January 2006 to December 2007 were enrolled and underwent LLR (LLR group, 64 patients) or OLR (OLR group, 72 patients). The short-term outcome, pathological factors, and long-term outcome were compared between the two groups. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups, and the log-rank test was used for comparison of survival functions. ResultsThere were significant differences between the LLR group and the OLR group in time of operation ((86.43±23.55) min vs (6231±19.61) min, t=8.539, P<0.001) and length of postoperative hospital stay ((7.22±3.45) d vs (12.27±5.31) d, t=2764, P=0.024), while there were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, time of hepatic portal occlusion, and overall fatality rate(all P>005). There were also no significant differences in number of tumors, presence or absence of liver cirrhosis, microvascular invasion, resection margin, and maximum tumor diameter between the two groups (all P>0.05). As for long-term outcome, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 83.30%, 48.61%, and 38.29% in the LLR group and 78.64%, 51.26%, and 4301% in the OLR group; the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 97.42%, 95.13%, and 89.23% in the LLR group and 96.41%, 94.28%, and 90.06% in the OLR group. There were no significant differences in these survival rates between the two groups (all P>005). ConclusionIn patients with HCC complicated by liver cirrhosis, LLR helps to achieve rapid postoperative recovery and similar long-term outcome compared with OLR; therefore, it holds promise for clinical application.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical characteristics of cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia and a preliminary study to explore the relationship between different clinical classification and liver damage.
Methods:
Consecutively confirmed novel coronavirus infection cases admitted to seven designated hospitals during January 23, 2020 to February 8, 2020 were included. Clinical classification (mild, moderate, severe, and critical) was carried out according to the diagnosis and treatment program of novel coronavirus pneumonia (Trial Fifth Edition) issued by the National Health Commission. The research data were analyzed using SPSS19.0 statistical software. Quantitative data were expressed as median (interquartile range), and qualitative data were expressed as frequency and rate.
Results:
32 confirmed cases that met the inclusion criteria were included. 28 cases were of mild or moderate type (87.50%), and four cases (12.50%) of severe or critical type. Four cases (12.5%) were combined with one underlying disease (bronchial asthma, coronary heart disease, malignant tumor, chronic kidney disease), and one case (3.13%) was simultaneously combined with high blood pressure and malignant tumor. The results of laboratory examination showed that the alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin (ALB), and total bilirubin (TBil) for entire cohort were 26.98 (16.88 ~ 46.09) U/L and 24.75 (18.71 ~ 31.79) U/L, 39.00 (36.20 ~ 44.20) g/L and 16.40 (11.34- ~ 21.15) mmol/L, respectively. ALT, AST, ALB and TBil of the mild or moderate subgroups were 22.75 (16.31- ~ 37.25) U/L, 23.63 (18.71 ~ 26.50) U/L, 39.70 (36.50 ~ 46.10) g/L, and 15.95 (11.34 ~ 20.83) mmol/L, respectively. ALT, AST, ALB and TBil of the severe or critical subgroups were 60.25 (40.88 ~ 68.90) U/L, 37.00 (20.88 ~ 64.45) U/L, 35.75 (28.68 ~ 42.00) g/L, and 20.50 (11.28 ~ 25.00) mmol/L, respectively.
Conclusion
The results of this multicenter retrospective study suggests that novel coronavirus pneumonia combined with liver damage is more likely to be caused by adverse drug reactions and systemic inflammation in severe patients receiving medical treatment. Therefore, liver function monitoring and evaluation should be strengthened during the treatment of such patients.
