Primary liver cancer (PLC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with characteristics of strong invasiveness and poor prognosis. The morbidity and mortality of PLC rank among the top malignant tumors in the world. More than half of the world′s liver cancer occurs in China, which seriously threatens the health and life of Chinese people. Due to the imperceptible initial symptoms, most patients are not diagnosed until their tumors have progressed to be in advanced stage, and lose the chance for curative hepatectomy. At present, non-surgical treatment options, including interventional embolization, ablation, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and systemic chemotherapy, play an increasingly prominent role in the comprehensive treatment of liver cancer. The authors briefly review the current status and research progress of the non-surgical treatment for liver cancer.

Objective:To explore the range of medical reference value of thyroid hormone of pregnant women in early pregnancy in Jinan after adjustment of salt iodine content, so as to provide basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases of pregnant women in early pregnancy.Methods:A prospective study was conducted in 560 pregnant women in early pregnancy (0-13 weeks) who had underwent prenatal examination and thyroid function testing in Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January to December 2018. At the same time, 100 healthy non-pregnant women who were examined in the Health Examination Center of Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital were selected as the control population. Urine samples of pregnant women in early pregnancy were collected, and urinary iodine content was detected by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry. Venous blood samples were collected from pregnant women in early pregnancy and control population, the serum levels of free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were detected by electrochemiluminescence (ECL), and the medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH were established. Results:The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in early pregnancy was 162.21 μg/L, which was in the appropriate level of iodine. After the adjustment of salt iodine content, the medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH in pregnant women in early pregnancy were 3.86-6.15 pmol/L, 12.56-22.16 pmol/L and 0.01-3.48 mU/ L, respectively; and the medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH in control population were 3.55-6.05 pmol/L, 9.93-20.58 pmol/L and 0.54-5.92 mU/L, respectively. Conclusions:The iodine nutrition of pregnant women in early pregnancy in Jinan is appropriate after the adjustment of salt iodine content. The medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH in pregnant women in early pregnancy are different from those in the healthy non-pregnant women. Therefore, it is of clinical significance to establish a medical reference value range of thyroid hormone for pregnant women in early pregnancy.

OBJECTIVEEndogenous hydrophobic bile acids may be a pathogenetic factor of biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).This study was designed to investigate the effects of hydrophilic ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), when administered early after OLT, on serum liver tests and on the incidence of biliary complications.

METHODSA total of 112 adult patients undergoing OLT were randomly assigned to one of two groups for receipt of UDCA (13 to 15 mg/kg/d for 4 weeks, n=56) or a placebo (n=56). All patients underwent serum liver testing and measurement of serum bile acids during the 4 weeks following OLT.Patients with T-tube underwent measurement of biliary bile acids during the 4 weeks following OLT.Biliary complications, as well as patient and graft survival rates, were analyzed during the follow-up period (mean of 65.6 months).

RESULTSAt post-OLT days 7, 21 and 28, the UDCA-treated patients showed significantly lower levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (all P less than 0.05).In addition, the UDCA-treated patients showed significantly lower incidence of biliary sludge and casts within the first year post-OLT (3.6% vs.14.3%; x2=3.953, P=0.047). However, there were no significant differences for the incidence of other biliary complications at post-OLT years 1, 3 and 5.The graft and patient survival rates were also similar between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONUDCA, when administered early after OLT, improves results from serum liver tests and decreases the incidence of biliary sludge and casts within the first postoperative year.
