目的:探讨Ki-67表达与原发性肝癌根治性切除术后行预防性TACE患者预后的关系。方法:采用回顾性队列研究,收集2014年12月—2016年1月福建医科大学孟超肝胆医院150例行原发性肝癌根治性切除术并在术后2个月内行预防性TACE患者的临床病理资料,根据术后肝癌组织病理Ki-67评分分为为低表达组(Ki-67评分≤20%,44例)和高表达组(Ki-67评分20%,106例);分析Ki-67表达量与患者临床病理因素及复发与生存的关系。结果:高表达组肿瘤多发、肿瘤包膜不完整及合并微血管癌栓患者比例明显高于低表达组(均P0.05)。Ki-67高表达与肿瘤多发、肿瘤直径大为影响无瘤生存期的独立危险因素(均P0.05);Ki-67高表达与肿瘤多发、肿瘤直径大、肿瘤包膜不完整、合并微血管癌栓为影响总生存期的独立危险因素(均P0.05);高表达组患者复发率明显高于低表达组(57.9%vs. 37.7%,χ~2=6.777,P0.05),总生存率明显低于低表达组(45.6%vs. 75.9%,χ~2=8.447,P0.05)。结论:Ki-67的表达量对肝癌根治性切除术后行预防性TACE患者的预后有显著影响,高表达者预后不良。     

Resistin is elevated in cystic fibrosis sputum and correlates negatively with lung function

Background

Resistin is an immunometabolic mediator that is elevated in several inflammatory disorders. A ligand for Toll-like receptor 4, resistin modulates the recruitment and activation of myeloid cells, notably neutrophils. Neutrophils are major drivers of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease, in part due to the release of human neutrophil elastase- and myeloperoxidase-rich primary granules, leading to tissue damage. Here we assessed the relationship of resistin to CF lung disease.

Combined hepatic and portal vein embolization as preparation for major hepatectomy: a systematic review

BackgroundSome patients remain deemed unsuitable for resection after portal vein embolization (PVE) because of insufficient hypertrophy of the future remnant liver (FRL). Hepatic and portal vein embolization (HPVE) has been shown to induce hypertrophy of the FRL. The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review of the available literature on HPVE as preparation for major hepatectomy.MethodsThe literature search was performed on online databases. Studies including patients who underwent preoperative HPVE were retrieved for evaluation.ResultsSix articles including 68 patients were published between 2003 and 2017. HPVE was performed successfully in all patients with no mortality and morbidity-related procedures. The degree of hypertrophy of the FRL after HPVE ranged from 33% to 63.3%. Surgical resection after preoperative HPVE could be performed in 85.3% of patients, but 14.7% remained unsuitable for resection because of insufficient hypertrophy of the FRL or tumor progression. Posthepatectomy morbidity and mortality rates were 10.3% and 5.1%, respectively. The postoperative liver failure rate was nil.ConclusionHPVE as a preparation for major hepatectomy appears to be feasible and safe and could increase the resectability of patients initially deemed unsuitable for resection because of absent or insufficient hypertrophy of the FRL after PVE alone.     

Primary Application of Micro-Flow Imaging Technology in the Diagnosis of Hepatic Tumors

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the vascular architecture of focal liver lesions with the newly released non-contrast micro-flow imaging (MFI) technique. Eighty patients with 80 hepatic tumors were enrolled in this study. The richness of displayed blood flow was first compared with color Doppler flow imaging using grades according to Adler's method. The results indicated that MFI outperformed color Doppler flow imaging with a statistically significant difference (p <0.0001). With the enhanced position in arterial phase of contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging as the ground truth, the displayed blood flow distribution within tumors in MFI was further evaluated. The coincidence rate between MFI and contrast-enhanced ultrasound was 73.75% (59/80), which was higher than that of color Doppler flow imaging (52.5%, 42/80) (p < 0.0001). Moreover, for the five cases of focal nodular hyperplasia, MFI clearly revealed the spoke-wheel or radiating intra-tumoral vasculature, a finding specific to the diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia.

肝阴虚证证候特点及辨证用药规律的文献研究

目的:为进一步深入研究和探讨肝阴虚证候的本质,本文分析和整理肝阴虚证的病因病机、证候表征、证候属性疾病及遣方选药的规律。方法:运用检索文献并进行频数统计的方法,检索查阅1960年9月1日至2019年1月10日中国知网中医临床研究文献。结果:肝阴虚证的病因病机为肝失疏泄,气机郁滞,化火伤阴,阴液亏虚,失于濡养;证候辨证要点主要为脉弦细数,舌红少津,头晕目眩,五心烦热,口咽干燥,两目干涩;证候临床属性疾病有肝炎、肝硬化、肝纤维化、肝癌;临床上治疗肝阴虚证使用处方主要为一贯煎、补肝汤、四物汤、芍药甘草汤,临床高频使用中药为生地黄、白芍、枸杞、当归、麦冬。结论:本文对于肝阴虚证的证候特点以及辨证用药规律做出系统的总结与归纳,将有关肝阴虚证的论述联系起来,形成统一的整体,为揭示肝阴虚证的本质与临床上形成较为成熟的肝阴虚证治疗方案提供参考。     

从肝郁探讨化肝煎治疗女性玫瑰痤疮

玫瑰痤疮发病原因与风、热有关,外受风寒之邪侵袭,内有热邪积聚,风热相搏,郁于肌肤,久而郁滞成本病,日久又可损伤血络,导致血瘀凝滞。肝郁为女子的基本生理特点,肝郁日久常生热、化火,郁热为本病的关键病机。由于长期的郁火上炎,熏蒸面部从而产生不易消退的潮红、红斑,故治以疏肝解郁、清火养阴,予化肝煎治疗,每获良效。     

基于巴塞罗那分期与香港分期肝细胞肝癌患者不同治疗方案生存率的比较

 目的 比较接受巴塞罗那临床肝癌分期系统（BCLC）或香港的分期系统（HKLC）推荐治疗方案对肝细胞肝癌（HCC）患者生存率的影响。方法 回顾性分析436例初治肝癌患者的临床资料，根据HKLC和BCLC进行肿瘤分期，按是否最终接受两个分期系统推荐的治疗方案分组。比较患者是否接受BCLC或HKLC分期推荐方案治疗对生存率的影响，并评估拒绝BCLC或HKLC推荐方案对预后可能产生的影响。 结果 接受BCLC推荐治疗方案的患者5年生存率显著高于拒绝推荐治疗方案的患者（48% vs. 30%, P<0.001）。与拒绝推荐治疗方案的患者相比，接受HKLC推荐治疗方案的患者亦有较高的5年生存率（41% vs. 29%, P<0.001）。对BCLC和HKLC交叉亚组分析，BCLC-B/HKLC-Ⅰ+Ⅱa+Ⅱb、BCLC-B/HKLC-Ⅲa+Ⅲb和BCLC-C/HKLC-Ⅲa+Ⅲb亚组中，接受手术切除的HCC患者显著高于接受TACE、索拉非尼或最佳支持治疗的患者5年生存率均较高（均P<0.05）。 结论 接受BCLC和HKLC分期系统推荐治疗方案可以提高HCC患者的存活率，但对于中晚期肝癌患者指导作用减弱。部分BCLC-B/HKLC-Ⅰ+Ⅱa+Ⅱb、BCLC-B/HKLC-Ⅲa+Ⅲb和BCLC-C/HKLC-Ⅲa+Ⅲb的患者通过积极的根治性治疗可以获得更好的生存。
