Objective:To explore the survival prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients over 60 years old with comorbidities treated with microwave ablation.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 267 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma aged 60 years or older admitted to the PLA General Hospital from April 2012 to September 2022 were analyzed, including 179 patients with preoperative comorbidities and 88 patients without comorbidities. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of the two groups were compared by the Log-rank test, and the Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to evaluate ablation-related risk factors.Results:A total of 267 patients were included (comorbidity group, n=179; no comorbidity group, n=88). There were no statistical differences in OS and PFS between the two groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that comorbidities were not risk factors that affected the survival prognosis (OS and PFS) of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after microwave ablation ( P>0.05). Total bilirubin (hazard ratio 0.356, 95% CI=0.174-0.731, P=0.005) was a risk factor affecting OS; tumor number (hazard ratio 0.538, 95% CI=0.365-0.793, P=0.002) and international coagulation normalized ratio (hazard ratio 1.022, 95% CI=1.001-1.043, P=0.040) were risk factors affecting PFS. Subgroup analysis showed that patients with a maximum diameter of >3 cm and female patients, the OS of the comorbidity group was significantly lower than that of the non-comorbidity group( P<0.05). Conclusions:Microwave ablation therapy remains an effective treatment modality in hepatocellular carcinoma patients over 60 years of age with comorbidities, and its survival prognosis is not inferior to patients with hepatocellular carcinoma without comorbidities.

Objective:To investigate the effects of carbon black and cadmium (Cd) combined exposure on autophagy and inflammatory response mediated by protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) pathway in human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cells.Methods:In January 2022, human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cells were resuscitated and cultured. Carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs) were oxidized to adsorb Cd ions to construct "CBNPs-Cd" complexes. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effects of different concentrations and time combinations of CBNPs and Cd on the viability of 16HBE cells. The subsequent dose groups were exposed to 2 μg/ml Cd, 100 μg/ml CBNPs, 100 μg/ml CBNPs+2 μg/ml Cd for 24 h. The number of autophagosomes and autolysosomes was detected by transmission electron microscopy. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of PERK, eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIf2α), activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1/P62), and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3). After PERK gene was silenced by siRNA technology, the changes of autophagy marker proteins P62 and LC3 were detected, and the expressions of inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL6) and interleukin-8 (IL8) were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR technique. One-way ANOVA analysis was used to compare three groups or more. LSD test was used for comparison between two groups. Factorial analysis was used for multivariate component analysis. Results:There was no significant change in cell viability of 16HBE after 24 h exposure to CBNPs and Cd alone or combined ( P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the expressions of P62 and LC3 in 16HBE cells were significantly increased in the CBNPs and Cd alone/combined exposure group ( P<0.05), and the number of autophagosomes and autophagolysosomes in the combined exposure group was increased compared with other groups. Compared with the control group, CBNPs and Cd alone exposure group had no significant effects on p-PERK/PERK and p-eIf2α/eIf2α protein expression ( P>0.05). However, the protein expressions of p-PERK/PERK and p-eIf2α/eIf2α and ATF4 were all increased in the combined exposure group ( P<0.05), and the levels of IL6 and IL8 in 16HBE cells in the combined exposure group of CBNPs and Cd were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The levels of LC3 protein, IL6 and IL8 were decreased in the CBNPs-Cd combined exposure group after knockdown of PERK gene ( P<0.05). The results of factorial analysis showed that exposure to CBNPs and Cd had significant effects on the expression of P62, LC3 and IL6 ( P<0.05), but the interaction between the two chemicals had no statistical significance ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:CBNPs-Cd combined exposure may inhibit autophagy and increase inflammation in human bronchial epithelial cells through activation of PERK-eIf2α-ATF4 pathway.
