Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Huangkui capsules on targeted drug-related proteinuria in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of HCC patients with targeted drug-related proteinuria from June 2023 to December 2024 at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. According to the treatment plan, patients were divided into the conventional treatment group and the Huangkui combination treatment group (Huangkui capsules combined with conventional treatment), and the clinical efficacy between the two groups was compared. The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the main factors affecting treatment efficacy. Results The Huangkui combination treatment group (n＝29) showed a significantly higher overall effective rate (79.3% vs 42.3%, P＝0.005), and an earlier proteinuria improvement (median time: 3 months vs 6 months, P＝0.008) than the conventional treatment group (n＝26) . The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker (ARB) using (OR＝0.190, 95%CI 0.045-0.808, P＝0.025), targeted drug adjustment (OR＝0.132, 95%CI 0.030-0.581, P＝0.007), and Huangkui capsules using (OR＝0.168, 95%CI 0.039-0.730, P＝0.017) were protective factors for treatment efficacy of targeted drug-related proteinuria. Conclusions On the basis of conventional treatment, additive treatment with Huangkui capsules can alleviate targeted drug-related proteinuria faster and more effectively in HCC patients.

Objective To explore whether liver cirrhosis markers aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index(APRI)and fibrosis-4 index(FIB-4)based on blood biochemical indicators can predict disease free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS)in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)after resection.Methods 300 patients with HCC who underwent radical resection in Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University from February 2005 to July 2017 were enrolled and the clinicopathological characteristics,recurrence and survival of these patients were retrospectively collected.The relationships between APRI,FIB-4 and postoperative recurrence and survival were evaluated.The ROC curve was used to evaluate the predictive values of APRI,FIB-4.Results The median follow-up of 300 patients was 61 months.Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that APRI,FIB-4,vascular invasion were risk factors affecting postoperative DFS and OS.The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that vascular invasion was the independent risk factor for postoperative DFS(HR=1.518,95%CI 1.024-2.252,P=0.038)and OS(HR=2.301,95%CI 1.270-4.167,P=0.006).The time dependent ROC(time-ROC)curve showed that AUCs of APRI and FIB-4 predicting 1-year,3-year,and 5-year DFS were 0.555-0.596,which were 0.600-0.679 when predicting 1-year,3-year,and 5-year OS.Conclusions The predictive value of APRI and FIB-4 based on blood biochemical indicators alone for postoperative DFS and OS in HCC patients is limited.
