An exogenous avian leukosis virus (ALV) strain SDAU09C1 was isolated in DF-1 cells from one of 240 imported 1-day-old white meat-type grand parent breeder chicks. Inoculation of SDAU09C1 in ALV-free chickens induced antibody reactions specific to subgroup A or B. But gp85 amino acid sequence comparisons indicated that SDAU09C1 fell into subgroup A; it had homology of 88.8% - 90.3% to 6 reference strains of subgroup A, much higher compared to other subgroups including subgroup B. This is the first report for ALV of subgroup A isolated from imported breeders.

Objective To evaluate the value of DEB-TACE before liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma patients.Methods From Jan.2016 to Jan.2018,23 patients received DEB-TACE before liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma were induced.Complications evaluation was followed up after interventional therapy.4 weeks after the intervention,the imaging examination was performed to examine the tumor response rate depond on mRECIST,the pathological conditions and tumor free survival were studied in the patients who received liver transplantation.Results The achievement ration of operation was 100% in 23 patients.23 patients received 24 times successfully,1 patient received DEB-TACE twice,and the remaining 22 patients received DEB-TACE once.No serious complications occurred.Eighteen patients (78.3%,18/23) had postembolic syndrome after interventional therapy,mainly fever and pain.Four weeks after DEB-TACE,the complete response rate was 47.8% (11/23),partial response rate was 30.4% (7/23),disease stability rate was 21.7% (5/23).All the 23 patients were included in the waiting list for transplantation.Among them,15 cases received liver transplantation.Pathological results showed that the total necrosis rate was 53.3% (8/15),and the tumour necrosis rate in 4 of them was less than 50%.The average tumour necrosis rate of the neoplasm was 75.0%.The 15 patients who received liver transplantation were alive with no tumor recurrence.Conclusion DEB-TACE is a safe and effective treatment for patients suffered from hepatocellular carcinoma in waiting for liver transplantation.However,due to the short time of DEBs in China,further research is needed.

Objective To evaluate the drug-eluting-beads (DEB)-TACE as down-stage therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma before liver transplantation.Methods Inclusion criteria:the hepatocellular carcinoma exceeding the standard of Milan criteria.From Jan 2016 to Jan 2018,30 patients received DEB-TACE as down-stage therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma before liver transplantation.4 weeks after DEB-TACE,the imaging examination was performed.The patients who received the liver transplantation,the pathological conditions were recorded and the tumor free survival of the patients was followed up.Results 30 patients received 30 times DEB-TACE successfully.76.7% (23/30) patients was down-staged to meet UCSF criteria,53.3% (16/30) patients was down-staged to meet Milan criteria.13 patients had being given liver transplantation,pathology showed that DEB-TACE achieved complete necrosis in 30.8 % (4/13)cases.No significant treatment related complications were observed.After liver transplantation 12 patients are alive with no tumor recurrence.The tumor recurrence rate after liver transplantation was 7.7%.Conclusion DEB-TACE is safe and effective as down-stage therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma before liver transplantation.
