The incidence and mortality rates of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)remain high in China,and the application of surgical resection is often limited due to the fact that most patients are in the advanced stage at the time of confirmed diagnosis.This article reviews commonly used advanced locoregional therapies for HCC and the advances in mainstream techniques such as local ablation(radiofrequency ablation,microwave ablation,irreversible electroporation,and cryoablation),intravascular intervention(transcatheter arterial chemoembolization,hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy,and Y90 hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy),and radiotherapy(CyberKnife,proton therapy,and heavy-ion therapy),and a multidimensional decision-making framework is constructed for HCC locoregional therapy by comparing treatment principles,indications,limitations,and clinical data of these techniques.This article aims to provide evidence-based support for persistent dilemmas in clinical decision-making,promote the role of locoregional therapies in clinical practice,and propose the directions for future research and clinical application.This article also establishes a comprehensive clinical roadmap for HCC locoregional therapy,which helps to address current challenges regarding technique selection and delineate future directions for innovation,in order to reshape the treatment of HCC through technological integration and paradigm innovation.

Objective To systematically analyze the changes in clinical indicators including blood leukocytes and neutrophils,liver and kidney functions,coagulation function,lipids,and levels of thyroid hormones and antibodies in Graves'ophthalmopathy(GO)patients who had undergone effective treatment with tocilizumab(TCZ)and to explore their clinical significance.Methods Eighty-five patients with moderately or severely active GO who were effectively treated with TCZ were enrolled.Early morning fasting blood was collected and tested for routine blood,biochemical routine,coagulation function,thyroid hormone and antibodies,and basic information such as gender,age,duration of the disease,history of smoking,comorbidities,and medications were also collected from all patients,so changes in the clinical indicators before and after the treatment could be analyzed and correlation analyses could be carried out.Results Patients with moderately to severely active GO treated with TCZ showed a significant decrease in absolute blood leukocyte and neutrophil values compared with before,and a significant decrease in liver function(alanine transaminase,aspartate aminotransferase,creatinine),cholesterol(total cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein)levels were significantly higher than before,and concentrations of coagulation parameters[prothrombin time,activated partial thromboplastin time,fibrinogen(FIB)and D-dimer]were significantly decreased.The concentrations of thyroid hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels increased significantly,and the antibody titer of thyrotropin receptor antibody(TRAB)was significantly down-regulated after treatment.TRAB levels were significantly correlated with FIB before treatment.Conclusion Thyroid function and antibody levels improved after TCZ treatment in patients with moderately to severely active GO,but blood leukocytes,liver function and coagulation function changed significantly compared with before.The results of this study confirm the therapeutic effect of TCZ on immune disorders in GO ophthalmopathy,while underscoring the importance of monitoring potential adverse effects in clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of liver deformation and changes in abdominal vascular diameter under artificial pneumoperitoneum based on CT images,and also to reveal the impact of intestinal adhesion on these characteristics.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 61 patients who underwent abdominal CT scan and artificial pneumoperitoneum CT.Eight cases did not meet the inclusion criteria.The sample included 41 patients with postoperative intestinal adhesion(POIA)and 12 patients without POIA.A three-dimensional post-processing software was used to quantify the gas volume,liver volume,liver surface area,and lumen of the abdominal aorta,inferior vena cava,and portal vein on CT images of patients who underwent abdominal CT scan and artificial pneumoperitoneum CT.The measured indices were compared before and after artificial pneumoperitoneum in all patients,and the impact of intestinal adhesion on the aforementioned indices was evaluated.Results At equivalent levels of pneumoperitoneum pressure,no statistically significant difference was observed in the quantity of gas in the abdominal cavity between patients with and without POIA(P=0.753).In the absence of pneumoperitoneum,POIA patients exhibited a significantly higher liver volume than non-adhesion patients(P＜0.01).Following the application of artificial pneumoperitoneum pressure,both liver volume and liver surface area were reduced in all patients,with a more pronounced decrease in POIA group(P=0.003,P=0.002).In addition,the reductions in the internal diameters of the inferior vena cava at three locations and the portal vein position 1 were also observed in all patients(P＜0.05).Notably,the POIA group exhibited more significant decrease in the internal diameters of inferior vena cava position 1 and the portal vein position 1(P=0.022,P=0.038).No significant differences were observed in the changes of internal diameter of other blood vessels or in the intergroup comparison.Conclusion Artificial pneumoperitoneum can reduce the volum,the surface area of liver,and the inner diameter of some abdominal vessels,which provides a scientific basis for navigation and real-time correction in laparoscopic abdominal surgery for patients,especially for patients with POIA.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of scraping therapy on lumbar disc herniation (LDH) with different syndromes.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 30 non-emergency LDH patients who were admitted to Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Yangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2017 to June 2018 were selected as the research objects. Among them, there were 11 cases of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome, 8 cases of damp-heat obstruction syndrome, 7 cases of cold-damp obstruction syndrome and 4 cases of liver and kidney deficiency syndrome. Du meridian, the bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang, as well as Jiaji (EX-B2) in pathological or painful sections, Ashi point, Shenshu (BL 23) , and Weizhong (BL 40) were mainly scraped. The treatment interval is 2~5 days (the marks of scrapping fade) , twice of scrapping as a treatment course and a total of 3 courses involved in the whole treatment. Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) Score, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) , serum interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were compared before and after scraping.Results:Compared with those before scraping, the JOA score increased, the VAS decreased, the serum IL-1β content decreased and the serum IL-10 content increased after scraping, and the differences were sttaistically significant ( P<0.01) . Among them, the JOA scores of patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome and cold-damp obstruction syndrome were higher than those of damp-heat obstruction syndrome and liver-kidney deficiency syndrome, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The levels of serum IL-10 in patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome, damp-heat obstruction syndrome and cold-damp obstruction syndrome were higher than those in patients with liver-kidney deficiency syndrome, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The curative effect of scraping in the treatment of LDH is definite, and the curative effect is better for excessive syndromes.
