Liver transplantation is a valid treatment option for select patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma HCC and end-stage liver disease. However, in approximately 20% of patients, recurrent HCC is the rate-limiting factor for longterm survival. Despite identification of clinical parameters that may stratify patients at high risk and exhaustive preoperative staging, cancer recurrence is likely the result of microscopic extrahepatic disease. With a desperate donor organ shortage, locoregional ablation techniques and resection are being employed in patients on the waiting list to serve as a bridge to OLT. Further more, some have advocated aggressive surgical resection of isolated metastasis in both the liver and extrahepatic viscera. Whether these creative strategies confer a survival advantage is unknown, requiring longterm follow-up to determine their efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of plasma D dimer level in cancer thrombosis and vascular invasion assessment and to analyze the correlation between plasma D dimer level and the Pittsburgh modified TNM staging in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma for orthotopic liver transplantation. Methods The plasma D dimer level was quantitated using Golden method in 120 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma for orthotopic liver transplantation. Cancer thrombosis in trunk vein and microvascular invasion was diagnosed by pathology. The relationship between plasma D dimer level in different Child pugh’s classification patients and vascular invasion as well as the Pittsburgh modified TNM staging was analyzed with ? 2 test, factorial analysis of variance and q test by microsoft SPSS 9.0.Results In Child Pugh’s A, B and C patients, the difference of plasma D dimer level between patients with trunk vein cancer thrombosis and patients without vascular invasion was significant ( P 0.05). The differences of plasma D dimer level between patients with the Pittsburgh modified TNM Ⅰand Ⅱ tumor and patients with TNM Ⅲ tumor, and between patients with the Pittsburgh modified TNM Ⅰand Ⅱ tumor and patients with TNM Ⅳ tumor were significant ( P 0.05). Conclusion Plasma D dimer level, which increasing as upgrade of the Pittsburgh TNM staging, is useful in the vascular invasion and cancer thrombosis assessment in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma for liver transplantation, and the correlation was more significant as progression of vascular invasion and upgrade of Child pugh’s classification.

Objective To evaluate the protective effect of curcumin against reperfusion injury of mouse renaltubular epithelial cells in vitro and the related mechanisms. Methods The renal tubular epithelial cells(TECs)were isolated by an improved Percoll density gradient centrifugation method. The cultured TECs were divided into blank group, hypoxia reperfusion group, low-concentration curcumin (5μmol/L) and high? Concentration curcumin (25μmol/L) groups. Apoptoticrate of TECs was examined with FACS, and them RNA and protein levels of TLR4 were detected with RT-PCR and Westernblotting analysis, respectively. Meanwhile, expression of IL-6, IL-1ß, TNF-α and MCP-1 mRNA in TECs was examined by RT-PCR, and their contents in the supernatants of TECs were measured by ELISA. Results The purity of the isolated TECs washigher than 95%, and the cell viability was higher than 93%. Compared with hypoxia reperfusion group, the two curcumin groups exhibited significantly lower apoptotic rates (P<0.01) and lower levels of TLR 4m RNA and protein (P<0.01), inhibited P65 phosphorylation, and significantly decreased levels of IL-6, IL-1ß, TNF-α and MCP-1 in the TECs (at both mRNA and protein levels) and their supernatant (P<0.05orP<0.01). Conclusion Curcumin can protect TECs from reperfusion injury in vitro, which might be associated with the inhibition of TLR4 expression and the consequent attenuation of TLR4- triggered inflammatory damages.
