1.Application of local ablative therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2016;32(1):56-61
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)is a common malignant tumor in the world,and surgical resection and liver transplantation are two radical treatment modalities,but only 10%-20%of all patients can receive such treatments.In recent years,local therapies including radiofrequency ablation,microwave ablation,cryoablation,and the irreversible electroporation ablation which appeared recently have gradu-ally become the alternative therapies for the patients who are unable to undergo surgery.In addition to local tumor growth control and im-provement in survival outcomes,the ablation technology also helps to downgrade tumor for secondary resection.This article focuses on the re-search progress in radiofrequency ablation alone and in combination with other therapies in the treatment of HCC,compares radiofrequency ablation with other local ablative therapies,and briefly introduces the application of intelligent navigation technology in adjuvant ablation. With the development of medical imaging and progress in related fields,the ablation technology will be widely applied in clinical practice in the future.

Objective To evaluate the effect of naringenin on KIM-1 expression in rats with renal interstitial fibrosis caused by unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO).Methods 24 SD male rats were randomly divided into Sham group,UUO group and naringe-nin group(Nar group),respectively.Rats in UUO group and Nar group got UUO to establish renal interstitial fibrosis models. Rats in Sham group only free but not ligated and cut ureters.Rats were administered saline and naringenin 25 mg/(kg·d)for 14 days.Then,24 h urine samples were collected before the rats were killed,and KIM-1 in these samples were measured by ELISA. Specimens were obtained from obstructive renal,the pathological change of renal tubule and interstitial were observe by HE and Masson staining.Moreover,the tubulointerstitial damage index was scored and the expression of KIM-1 in renal tissue was examined by immunohistochemical staining.Results Compared with Sham group,the tubulointerstitial damage index of UUO group significantly increased(P <0.05),contents of KIM-1 in urine and renal tissues also significantly increased(P <0.05).Com-pared with UUO group,the tubulointerstitial damage index score of Nar group alleviated(P <0.01),contents of KIM-1 in urine and renal tissues also reduced(P <0.05 ).Correlation analysis showed that there was positive correlation between KIM-1 in urine and renal tissues and TDI(r=0.862,0.866,P <0.01).Conclusion Naringenin can relieve renal interstitial fibrosis and reduce the content of KIM-1.

Purpose To establish a golden hamster model of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) using BOP [N-nitrosobis (2-oxo-propyl) amine] and to explore the protein expression of Wisp-1,β-catenin, TGF-β1 and Smad4 in ICC and their relationship with the tumorigenesis. Methods 57 female golden hamsters aged 8 to 9 weeks (39 in experimental group, 18 in control group), the experi-mental animals were subjected to subcutaneous injection of BOP, the control group was injected with saline. The liver was removed and paraffin sections were prepared for histopathological observation. The protein expression of Wisp-1,β-catenin, TGF-β1 and Smad4 was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in these blocks. Results Most of the animals in the experimental group (29/39) developed ICC, part of the animal (8/39) developed bile duct dysplasia, 1 developed focal bile duct hyperplasia, and 1 was not found bile duct hyperplasia. The positive expression rates of four protein markers in ICC, bile duct dysplasia and normal intrahepatic bile duct tissues were Wisp-1,79. 3%, 87. 5% and 5. 0%,β-catenin, 96. 6%, 100. 0% and 15. 0%, Smad4, 96. 6%, 100. 0% and 25. 0%, TGF-β1, 62. 1%, 12. 5% and 5. 0%, respectively. The positive expression rates of Wisp-1, beta-catenin and Smad4 protein in both the ICC and the tissue of bile duct dysplasia were higher than that of normal intrahepatic bile duct tissue ( P<0. 001 ) , The positive ex-pression of TGF-β1 in the ICC tissue was higher than that of normal intrahepatic bile duct tissue and bile duct dysplasia (P<0. 001). Conclusions The study showed that BOP can induce a golden hamster model of ICC and provides a reliable animal model for the study of ICC. The high expression of Wisp-1,β-catenin, TGF-β1 and Smad4 in BOP-induced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is closely re-lated to occurrence, development and infiltration of ICC.

Objective To explore the effects of excise-induced fatigue on the microloop plasticity of prefrontal cortex through observing the expression of parvalbumin positive neurons in prefrontal cortexes of rats induced by exhaustive exercise,so as to find out the possible mechanism of the central regulation of exercise-induced fatigue by measuring the expression of NMDAR2B receptors.Methods Thirty-six Wistar rats were randomly divided into an exhausted group (E),a repeated exhaustion group (RE) and a control group (CG),each of 12.For group E,the adjusted Bedford incremental load of treadmill exercise program was employed:the initial treadmill speed was 8.2 m/min,lasting for 15 minutes,then increased to 15 m/min for another 15 minutes,and finally increased to 20 m/min till exhaustion.For RE group,they were given continuous treadmill exercises to exhaustion for consecutive 7 days.The immunofluorescence technique was used to observe the expression of PV+ interneurons after exhausted treadmill running.The Western blotting technique was used to determine the expression of NMDAR2B in the tissue of the prefrontal cortex.Results After the exhausted treadmill running,the expression of PV+ interneurons in the prefrontal cortexes of both E and RE groups increased significantly compared with the control group(P<0.01).The immunofluorescence results indicated that NMDAR2B positive neurons were seen in group E,but not obviously in group CG and RE.The Western blotting showed that compared with CG group the protein expression of NMDAR2B in prefrontal cortexes of group E was relatively high,and that of group RE was relatively low,but without significant difference (P>0.05).The running distance and prefrontal cortex NMDAR2B expression were found negatively correlated (P< 0.01).Conclusions Exhaustive exercises have an impact on the plasticity in rats' prefrontal cortex neural network through regulating the local loop of PV positive neurons.This plasticity of the prefrontal cortex is involved in the regulation of central fatigue.The present study might provide morphological basis for the research of central mechanism of the exercise-induced fatigue.
