Transarterial chemoembolization is an important treatment for advanced primary hepatic carci -noma.Along with the development of TACE therapy , more and more antineoplastic drugs have been used in transarterial chemoembolization .However,the side effects and the efficacy of the drugs are still not very clear . Therefore,we summarize and compare the mechanism of actions ,efficacies and side effects of these drugs in this paper .

Stem cell transplantation holds a promising future for central nervous system repair. Current challenges, however, include spatially and temporally defined cell differentiation and maturation, plus the integration of transplanted neural cells into host circuits. Here we discuss the potential advantages of neuromodulation-based stem cell therapy, which can improve the viability and proliferation of stem cells, guide migration to the repair site, orchestrate the differentiation process, and promote the integration of neural circuitry for functional rehabilitation. All these advantages of neuromodulation make it one potentially valuable tool for further improving the efficiency of stem cell transplantation.
