The recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation (LT) has a major impact on outcome, while the guide of treatment of it is lacked until now. so this review will attempt to sum-marize how best to manage recurrent HCC after LT in detail.

micmRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in biological processes via regulating gene expression in the level of posttranscription.Increasing number of studies reveal that miR-375 is downregulated in digestive system tumors, and is related to tumorigenesis.Overexpression of miR-375 can inhibit growth and metastasis of tumors through repressing the expression of target genes.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect ofTong Du acupuncture-moxibustion, conventional acupuncture, and medication on the bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) mobilization markers CD34+and CD133+, neurological deficit score in patients with ischemic stroke.Method Totally 120 eligible subjects with ischemic stroke were randomized into aTong Du acupuncture-moxibustion group (group A), a conventional acupuncture group (group B), and a medication group (group C), 40 in each group. In addition to the conventional medication given to all three groups, patients in group A also received moxibustion at Baihui (GV20), bloodletting at Dazhui (GV14), and acupuncture at Fengchi (GB20), Quchi (LI11), Hegu (LI4), Zusanli (ST36), and Sanyinjiao (SP6); patients in group B also received acupuncture at Fengchi, Quchi, Hegu, Zusanli, and Sanyinjiao; group C received patent Chinese medicine Tong Xin Luo capsules. The intervention lasted 14 d in all three groups. The CD34+and CD133+and neurological deficit score were evaluated and compared before and after intervention.Result The three treatment methods all significantly increased the level of CD34 + and CD133+in peripheral blood (P<0.05,P<0.01); the intergroup comparisons showed significant differences among the three groups (P<0.05), and the level in group A was significantly different from that in group B and C (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between group B and C (P>0.05); the three treatment methods all improved the neurological deficit score to various extent, and the result in group A was significantly different from that in group B and C (P<0.05,P<0.01), and there was also a significant difference between group B and C (P<0.05).ConclusionsTong Du acupuncture-moxibustion, conventional acupuncture, and medication can influence the BMSCs and neurological deficit to different extent; the effect ofTong Du acupuncture-moxibustion on the BMSCs and neurological deficit is more significant than that of the conventional acupuncture and medication, suggesting thatTong Du acupuncture-moxibustion method should have advantage in treating cerebral infarction.

Objective To explore the feasibility of endothelial function of dorsal artery of foot in patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM) by high frequency ultrasound combined with warm bath test.MethodsThirty-five patients with T2DM and thirty normal people were collected,all subjects were examined by high frequency ultrasound.Diameter of brachial artery in baseline and after reactive hyperaemia were detected;Diameter of dorsal artery of foot in baseline and after the foot immersed in 40℃ warm water for 5 minutes were acquired.Flow mediated dilatation of dorsalis pedis artery(FMDDPA) and flow mediated dilatation of brachial artery(FMDBA) were calculated and compared.Multiple stepwise regression analysis was used to examine the correlation between FMDDPA and hemoglobin A1c(HbAlc). Results The FMDDPA and FMDBA were decreased in patients with T2DM (P<0.01).The FMDDPA and FMDBA were correlated significantly(r=0.864,P<0.01).In stepwise regression analysis,HbA1c is the most affecting factor for FMDDPA (R2=0.321,P<0.01).Conclusions Ultrasound combined with warm bath test can be used to detect the change of endothelial function of dorsal artery of foot in patients with T2DM,which have a certain clinical application value in endothelial function of terminal limb artery.
