Objective To compare the efficacy of open microwave ablation and repeat hepatectomy for recurrent small hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 75 patients with recurrent small HCC who were admitted to our hospital from January 2007 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.34 received microwave ablation (MWA group) and 41 received repeat hepatectomy (hepatectomy group).The perioperative condition,liver function recovery,the variation of AFP level,mobidities,hospitalization time and overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate were compared.Results The rate of complete elimination to tumor tissue was 100％ and the AFP levels returned to normal within 3 months in both groups.The mean average operation time in MWA group was shorter than that in hepatectomy group [(91 ±33) min vs (156 ±51) min,t =-6.399 5,P =0.000].The blood loss in MWA group was smaller than that in hepatectomy group [(87 ±62) ml vs (254 ± 134) ml,t =-6.691 5,P =0.000].Patients in PFRA group had a shorter hospital stay [(7.5 ± 2.2) d vs (11.3 ± 2.7) d,t =-6.588 8,P =0.000].The mobidities of the MWA group and hepateetomy group were 2.9％ (1/34) and 22.0％ (9/41),respectively (x2 =5.812 7,P =0.016).The overall survive rate of 1,3 and 5-year were 88.1％,68.8％ and 46.1％ in the MWA group,and 86.1％,71.5％ and 50.2％ in the hepatectomy group (x2 =0.16,P =0.692).The disease free survival rate of 1,3 and 5-year were 67.1％,38.2％ and 16.1％ in the MWA group,and 64.4％,45.5％ and 23.6％ in the hepatectomy group (x2 =0.03,P =0.870).Conclusions MWA can achieve survival benefits equivalent to hepatectomy for recurrent small HCC,and it is less traumatic.

Objective To study the effect of rimonabant, cannabinoid receptor 1(CB1) antagonist, on the expressions of CB1 andα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in C57 mice with experimental hepatic fibrosis, and their mechanisms in liver fibrosis progression thereof. Methods Thirty C57 mice were randomly divided into three groups, normal control group, mod-el control group and model+rimonabant group, 10 mice for each group. The mouse model of experimental hepatic fibrosis was induced by intraperitoneal injection with 10%CCl4 for two weeks. The normal saline was delivered by gavage daily in normal control group and model control group. Rimonabant was given to mice in model+rimonabant group. Mice were sacri-ficed at the end of eight weeks. Samples of liver tissue were collected. The expressions of CB1 andα-SMA in liver tissue of mice were observed by immunohistochemical staining. The score of fibrosis stage (S) in liver tissue was also analyzed. Re-sults The positive expressions of CB1 andα-SMA and the score S were significantly higher in model control group and model+rimonabant group than those in normal control group (P<0.05). The positive expressions of CB1 andα-SMA and the score S were significantly lower in rimonabant group than those in model control group (P<0.05). There were positive corre-lations in CB1,α-SMA and S scores between normal control group, model control group and model+rimonabant group (P<0.05). Conclusion The activation of CB1 can promote the formation of liver fibrosis. The anti-fibrotic effect of rimonabant, CB1 antagonist, related with the inhibiting of the proliferation and activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC), and the inhibit-ing of the expression of CB1.
