1.Prevention of recurrence and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma following liver transplantation: a systematic review
International Journal of Surgery 2010;37(5):335-339
At present, about one third organ transplantation recipients were hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients even in the most advanced transplant center in the world. HCC especially the early primary HCC has been listed as one of the indications of liver transplantation(LT) in the most organ transplant center in the world. However, due to the tumor recurrence and metastasis following LT, many patients would be dead following transplantation in about 2 years later. Their five-year survival rate was only 50 percent in benign final phase liver disease patients. The current researches for this phenomenon were still shallow both in mechanisms and treatments. How to prevent tumor recurrence has become serious challenges and must be faced in liver transplantation surgery. Obviously, to discover the molecular mechanisms and predisposing factors of following LT recurrence, to explore appropriate standards for LT in HCC patients and to strengthen perioperative management are the only way for increasing LT efficacy.
2.Mechanisms and therapeutic methods of HCC with PVTT
International Journal of Surgery 2013;40(10):688-691
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers in the worldwide.In recent years,the development of imaging techniques has facilitated the detection of HCC at early stages.However,HCC has a high frequency of portal vein invasion,which is reportedly observed in 11% to 42% of patients with HCC.Portal vein tumor thrombus(PVTT) is a crucial factor that can worsen the prognosis of HCC because it can be wide dissemination of tumor throughout the liver and cause a marked deterioration of hepatic function.It was considered that is not appropriate with surgical treatment in the past,which is treatment conservative or even give up,most of the patients died within a few months.Even if the patients have a chance to surgical resection,and the most of patients combined with TACE,portal vein stent implantation or chemotherapy postoperative,some patients can be more prolonged survival,however,due to the small tumor thrombus and micro metastases have exist before the surgery and can not be checked out.it's difficult to clean up in the surgery,easily lead to HCC recurrence postoperative.However,with the constant awareness the PVTT formation mechanism and scientific technology progress,more and more new treatment techniques is applied to clinical.This view focuses on the portal vein tumor thrombus formation mechanisms and Classic Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization and new treatment methods such as:Helical tomotherapy,CIK cell therapy (cytokine-induced killer cell therapy),Chemoembolization and stent combined with iodine-125 seed.

AIM: To study the influence on the expression of proliferation cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) in rectal carcinoma through retention -enema with FUDR and 5 -FU. METHODS: 80 cases of rectal carcinomas were randomized into three groups: the FUDR group(30 cases), the 5-FU group(30 cases) and normal control group(20 cases), treated with FUDR(500mg), 5-FU(500mg) and normal saline(20ml ) everynight through retention - enema separately for serven days- Mucosa of rectal car cinoma were sampled and PCNA protein were simultaneously detected by imrnunohistochemical method on the first and eighth day. RESULTS: The expression of PCNA was significantly decreased in both FUDR group and 5 - FU group after treatment(P 0. 1). CONCLUSION:The cell proliferation of rectal carcinoma could be inhibited by FUDR and 5-FU through retention-enema. The effects of FUDR was more obvious than that of 5-FU in the same concentration. so the treating method through retention-enema with FUDR should be used as a routine therapeutic scheme befOre operation.
