Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)is a chronic disease characterized by progressive destruction of intrahepatic small bile ducts, which may progress to liver cirrhosis.Anti-mitochondrial antibodies,especially anti-M2 antibody,have a high diagnostic value for PBC, but they are unrelated to the severity and prognosis of the disease and are negative in some patients.There have been reports from around the world that anti-nuclear antibodies,especially anti-gp210 antibody,are closely associated with PBC.It showed that anti-gp210 antibody has high specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis of PBC,especially for the patients with negative anti-M2 antibody tests;in addition,it has a high predictive value for the prognosis and development model of the disease.Anti -gp210 antibody has a high diagnostic value for PBC,with great clinical significance,so its detection holds promise for clinical application.

BACKGROUND: Liver stem cells can be induced and differentiated into mature hepatocytes. Transplanted liver stem cells would be good to recovery of damaged hepatic tissues and compensate some hepatic functions. OBJECTIVE: To introduce the research status quo of liver stem cell induced and differentiated into mature hepatocytes in vivo and in vitro RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: We searched in Pubmed for the literatures published from January 2000 to October 2007 with the of "liver stem cell,differentiation"in English. We also searched in Wanfang database for relevant articles published from January 2000 to October 2007 in Chinese. Inclusive criterion:The articles related to the induction and differentiation of liver stem cells were collected. Exclusive criteria:Repetitive investigation or Meta analysis articles were excluded. LITERATURE EVALUATION: From over 100 pieces we chosen 38 pieces of articles which focus on the induction and differentiation of liver stem cells,and those published in the more authorized journals within recent years were superiority. Of the total,5 pieces were related on isolating culture and proliferation of cells,22 pieces on induction and differentiation in vitro,and 11 pieces on induction and differentiation in vivo. From over 30 pieces of articles,we summed up and arranged those about differentiation into mature hepatocytes. Of them,28 were used as reference for review. DATA SYNTHESIS: According to origin, liver stem cells can be divided into liver-derived liver stem cells and non-liver-derived liver stem cells. The former include oval cells,differentiated liver cells,fetal liver cells and bile duct endothelial cells. The latter include embryonic stem cells,bone marrow haemopoietic stem cells,pancreas glandular epithelium cells and enterocytes. All are characterized by pleiotropia variation. Induction and differentiation of liver stem cells:①in vitro:Cell induction culture systems can be different cytokines or chemical agents or patho-microenvironment,and these systems induce liver stem cells into hepatocytes. ② in vivo:Liver stem cells transplanted in body through various kinds of methods would improve liver function and structure. CONCLUSION: The study of liver stem cells is in the period of theory and experiment study. We must strengthen the study of mechanism of its induction and differentiation,prevent stem cells differentiate into tumor cells,and promote it differentiate into mature hepatocytes,so that we can propel liver stem cells in clinical application.

Objective To analyze the changes in platelet parameters and their influential factors in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular car-cinoma (HCC).Methods The clinical data of 602 cirrhotic patients with HCC who were admitted to the First Hospital of Jilin University from January 201 1 to December 2012,as well as 200 cirrhotic patients hospitalized during the same period,were collected.Statistical analy-sis was performed using SPSS 19.0.Normally distributed continuous data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation;comparison be-tween two groups was made by t test,and comparison between multiple groups was made by analysis of variance.Non-normally distributed data were expressed as median and interquartile range (P25 -P75 );comparison between groups was made by rank sum test.Results Com-pared with the cirrhotic group,the HCC group had significantly higher platelet count (PLT)and plateletcrit (PCT)(t=5.019,P=0.000;t=5.017,P=0.000)and a significantly lower mean platelet volume (MPV)/PLT (t=5.877,P=0.000);there were no significant differences in MPV and platelet distribution width between the two groups (t=-0.942,P=0.347;t=-1.040,P=0.298).The receiv-er operating characteristic (ROC)analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve was 0.636 for PLT,0.633 for PCT,and 0.639 for MPV/PLT in the diagnosis of HCC in cirrhotic patients.Decreases in PLT and PCT were closely related to hepatitis C virus (HCV)infec-tion.Patients with Child-Pugh class A cirrhosis had significantly higher PLT and PCT than those with Child-Pugh class B and C cirrhosis (P<0.01);patients with a maximum tumor diameter of≥5 cm had significantly higher PLT and PCT than those with maximum tumor di-ameters of2-5 cm and≤2 cm (P<0.01).Patients with Child-Pugh class A cirrhosis had a significantly lower MPV/PLT than those with Child-Pugh class B and C cirrhosis (P<0.01);patients with a maximum tumor diameter of≥5 cm had a significantly lower MPV/PLT than those with maximum tumor diameters of2-5 cm and≤2 cm (P<0.01).Conclusion PLT,PCT,and MPV/PLT can be used in the auxiliary diagnosis of HCC in cirrhotic patients,which are related to HCV,Child-Pugh classification,and tumor size.
