Objective To study the DSA hepatoarteriography manifestations in hepatic carcinoma after endocare cryocare system (ECS)treatment for improving the comprehensive therapy of hepatic carcinoma.Methods Thirty eight male patients with primary liver cancer ( n =32) and hepatic metastasis (n=6) were enrolled in this study. Common hepatic arteriography or super-selection angiography was performed in all patients after ECS treatment in 7 days and 30-60 days.Results The foci covered with ice ball were shown as round or ovoid. Single tumor less than 5 cm was covered completely, while the shape of focus covered with more ice ball showed irregularity, mass-like and diffuse nodulss with diseminated tumor vessels and tumor stains. The shortcoming of ECS included 18 missed areas, hepatic A-V shunt and hepatic A-portal V shunt in 4, bleeding in puncture tract 5, and extravasation of contrast material in 6 cases. Delineated margin existed between the frozon area and surrounding tissues.Conclusions ①ECS is effective on liver tumor 5 cm. ③ Tendency of missed areas in huge tumor and widespread nodes accurs after ECS. ④Complication occurs easily during ECS performance near the hepatic capsule and porta hepatis. ⑤TACE would improve comprehensive therapy effect of liver cancer about7 days after cryotherapy.

Tumor 2017;37(3):306-312
Lung is the most common metastatic site of head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Systemic chemotherapy is still the standard treatment for metastatic HNSCC patients, and the prognosis is poor. Pulmonary metastasectomy has been regarded as the stardard treatment modality for selected pulmonary metastases from certain cancers including colorectal cancer and sarcoma. However, present studies about pulmonary metastasectomy for metastatic HNSCC are retrospective and no consensus has been reached on the value of pulmonary metastasectomy. This review focuses on the efficiency, indication, operative mode and method and the prognostic factors of pulmonary metastasectomy for pulmonary metastases from HNSCC. The limitations of current studies and the challenges and perspectives of pulmonary metastasectomy are also discussed.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between blood triglyceride (TG) level and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in relevant population. Methods: A total of 22622 participants in Kailuan area were enrolled and divided into 4 ranks: Stroke rank, n=5219, Aged rank n=1754, Pregnancy hypertension Rank, n=1561and Peripheral vascular diseases rank, n=14088. All participants finished baPWV examination. The relationship between TG and baPWV was studied by partial correlation analysis, the impact of TG on baPWV was assessed by multivariate linear regression and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results: There were 21713 subjects finally enrolled for cohort study and 909 subjects excluded for missing TG information. With elevated TG levels, the average baPWV and the detection rate of baPWV≥1400 cm/s showed the increasing trend. Partial correlation analysis presented that TG level was positively related to baPWV, r=0.235; with adjusted age and gender, TG was still positively related to baPWV, r=0.080. Logistic regression analysis indicated that with other adjusted confounding factors, compared with the first quartile of TG, the second quartile, third quartile and fourth quartile of TG were the risk factors for baPWV≥1400 cm/s, OR=1.161, 95% CI (1.035-1.302), OR=1.312, 95% (1.165-1.476) and OR=1.652, 95% CI (1.463-1.865) respectively. Conclusion: Blood TG level was positively and independently related to baPWV in relevant population.

Objective: To explore aspirin resistance (AR) phenomenon in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) for secondary prevention and to study the relationships between AR and COX1, COX2, TBXA2R gene polymorphisms. Methods: A total of 2881 CAD patients taken aspirin (100 mg/day) in 7 consecutive days were enrolled. Among them, 2 groups were established as AR group, n=166 and Control group, n=200 aspirin sensitive patients. Platelet aggregation function was induced by arachidonic acid (AA), COX1, COX2 and TBXA2R gene polymorphisms were examined by polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) method. Results: The occurrence rate of AR was 5.76% (166/2881). There were 8 tagSNPs locus in 3 genes as in COX1:(rs3842788), (rs4273915), (rs7866582); in: COX2 (rs3218625); in TBXA2R: (rs2238630), (rs2238631), (rs2238633), (rs3786989). The frequencies of wild type, heterozygous genotype and homozygous genotype were similar between 2 groups. Conclusion: The incidence rate of AR is not high in CHD patients with regular aspirin medication; single nucleotide gene polymorphisms of COX1, COX2 and TBXA2R have no obvious correlation to AR.
