Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) combined with CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation(PRFA) in treating advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods 40 cases with advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma were randomly divided into TECA group(n=20) and TACE and PRFA group(n=20).Results The complete necrosis rate of tumor,the recurrence rate and one-year survival rate were 22.5%(9/40),37.5%(15/40) and 75.0%(30/40),respectively in TACE group and 90.0%(36/40),12.5%(5/40) and 90.0%(36/40),respectively in TACE and PRFA group.There were significant statistical differences between the two groups(P value were 0.002,0.002 and 0.008,respectively).Conclusion The therapeutic effects of TACE combined with CT-guided PRFA show better results than that of TACE alone.

Objective To establish a canine model of fulminate hepatic failure ( FHF) and study the treatment of FHF by partial orthotopic liver transplatation(POLT).Methods Carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) mixed with the same amount of peanut oil in the dosage of 0.9 ml per kilogram of body weight was injected intraperitoneally to canines. ALT,tolal bilirubine(TB), PT, NH 4,and blood suger(BG) were monitored. The pathological changes were observed when the canine died,remain alived animal were killed on 7th day and 14th day respectively. EEG was performed on 3rd day after the model eslablished. Results After CCl 4 was injected, the canine showed progressive hepatic failure, ALT, TB and NH rose persistantly, PT prolonged, and BG decreased (P
