The authors report one case of primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma associated with multiple liver metastases. A patient was a 41-year-old female. In 2010, B-ultrasound examination revealed that there were multiple space-occupying lesions in the liver, and hepatic hemangiomas was considered to be the diagnosis. Then, the patient was followed up regularly. In Aug. 2013, B-ultrasound examination indicated that the hepatic lesions were significantly enlarged. Multi-detector CT scanning and MRI examination were performed, and still the diagnosis of multiple hepatic hemangiomas was suggested. On CT and MRI the lesion presented as a well-circumscribed hypervascular tumor with “fast-in and slow-out” enhancement pattern. On MRI, the lesion was characterized by multiple nodules. Needle biopsy was carried out, and the pathological and immunohistochemical diagnosis was metastatic neuroendocrine tumor. Systemic examination did not find the primary lesion. Therefore, primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma associated with intra- hepatic metastases was diagnosed. The patient was treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. The drugs used were 100 mg Oxaliplatin+one bottle of gelatin sponge particles(300-500μm)+10 ml iodized oil, and micro-pump infusion of 100 mg oxaliplatin(99 mg/h) through catheter was also employed. Clinically, primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma is extremely rare. In combination with the medical literatures, the authors attempt to make a preliminary discussion on the clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: To observe and discuss the dynamic changes of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) and their significance in the patients with primary liver cancer after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) therapy combined with Jinglong Capsule. METHODS: A total of 48 patients with primary liver cancer, who failed to be treated by major surgery, were randomly divided into two groups: Jinlong Capsule group (TACE therapy plus Jinlong Capsule) and control group (TACE therapy alone). There were 24 cases in each group. The levels of peripheral blood IL-2 and slL-2R were measured before the first TACE and 1, 7 and 15 days after the second TACE respectively by using double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The data from Jinlong Capsule group were compared with those from the control group. RESULTS: The level of sIL-2R in Jinlong Capsule group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), while the level of IL-2 was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Jinlong Capsule can significantly improve the lymphocyte function of the patients with primary liver cancer after TACE. The levels of IL-2 and sIL-2R can be considered as the valuable parameters for evaluating the effects on primary liver cancer, and Jinlong Capsule is helpful for the patients with primary liver cancer.

Objective To assess the effect of ultrasound-guided percutaneous 125I seed implantation for the treatment of osteolytic metastases. Methods From February 2011 to December 2013, a total of 18 patients with advanced cancer complicated by osteolytic metastases received ultrasound-guided percutaneous implantation of 125I seeds. According to visual analog score (VAS) the pain was estimated before and 3 days as well as one month after the treatment. One month after the treatment follow-up CT scan was performed in all patients to check the tumor size and the distribution of 125I seeds, and the therapy was repeated if necessary. The efficacy was evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Results A total of 33 times of procedure were carried out in the 18 patients. Three days after the treatment, local pain was obviously relieved in all cases. Compared with preoperative VAS, the postoperative VAS was significantly improved (P=0.000). The pain was well controlled even one month after the treatment (P=0.000). One month after the last treatment the complete remission (CR) rate was 0% (n=0), partial remission (PR) rate 61.1% (n=11), stable disease (SD) 33.3% (n=6) and progress disease (PD) 5.6% (n=1), and local control rate (CR+PR) was 61.1%. No severe brachytheray-related complications occurred. Conclusion Ultrasound-guided percutaneous 125I seed implantation brachytherapy is technically simple and repeatable, it can safely and effectively guide the performance of percutaneous 125I seed implantation for the treatment of osteolytic metastases. Even in the circumstance of not using TPS, this technique can also obtain satisfactory local control rate and significant pain relief.

Malignant hepatopancreatobiliary tumors are highly malignant and have poor prognosis. 125I seed implantation combined with other minimally invasive therapies for radical treatment of early liver cancer has achieved a good clinical effect in preventing early recurrence after liver cancer surgery. It is also used in the treatment of advanced liver cancer and portal vein tumor thrombosis. 125I seed has achieved a good local control rate in the treatment of tumors with a lack of blood supply, such as intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma and metastatic liver cancer. 125I seed combined with biliary stenting can significantly relieve the symptoms of malignant biliary obstruction and extend the time to restenosis. Comprehensive interventional treatment based on 125I seed can significantly improve quality of life and extend survival time in patients with pancreatic cancer. Therefore, 125I seed implantation is safe and convenient in clinical practice and holds promise for clinical application.
