Objective To explore the effects of DNA cross-linking repair 1B (DCLRE1B) gene on the migration and invasion ability of hepatocellular carcinoma cell. Methods Bioinformatics analysis was used to analyze the expression of DCLRE1B mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma, and its relationship with the prognosis and related influencing factors of patients. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of DCLRE1B protein in resected hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and their corresponding normal liver tissues. The DCLRE1B gene silenced Huh7 and HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines were constructed by lentivirus, and the transfected effect was detected by Western blot. The migration and invasion of DCLRE1B silenced hepatocellular carcinoma cells were detected by scratch test and Transwell method. The changes of genes related to epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) after DCLRE1B silencing were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results ① The biological information analysis results showed that: The mRNA expression of DCLRE1B was highly expressed in a variety of tumors including hepatocellular carcinoma (P<0.05). The mRNA expression of DCLRE1B was associated with the TNM staging of tumor (P<0.05). The relative expression level of DCLRE1B mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma patients was related to their prognosis. The overall survival situation (P=0.038) and progression free survival situation (P=0.005) of hepatocellular carcinoma patients in the high expression group were worse than those in the low expression group. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis showed that the expression of DCLRE1B gene was an independent factor affecting the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (P<0.05). ② The positive rate of DCLRE1B protein expression in resected hepatocellular carcinoma tissues was higher than that in normal liver tissues (P<0.05). ③ Cell experiment results showed that: After stable silencing DCLRE1B gene of hepatocellular carcinoma cell (Huh7 and HepG2) constructed by lentivirus, the expression of DCLRE1B protein was significantly down regulated (P<0.05). After silencing DCLRE1B gene, the migration and invasion ability of hepatocellular carcinoma cells were significantly decreased (P<0.05). After silencing DCLRE1B, the mRNA expressions of E-cadherin, matrix metalloproteinase 9, and β-catenin were up regulated (P<0.05), and the mRNA expressions of N-cadherin and Vimentin were down regulated (P<0.05), but the mRNA expression of zinc finger transcription factor had no significant change, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion Silencing DCLRE1B gene can inhibit the migration and invasion ability of hepatocellular carcinoma cells, and its mechanism may be related to the process of EMT.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MethodsArticles have been reviewed to find out the theory of spontaneous rupture of HCC. ResultsResearchful results suggested that the injury of small arteries was usually followed in patients of spontaneous rupture of HCC. In this review, the immune complex, which composed of hepatitis B virus e antigen, complement C1q and immunoglobulins, was found deposited in the elastic membrane of arteries. Likely as a result of immune complex deposition, vascular injury occurs mainly in the small arteries where the deposition of immune complex was present. The small arteries in which immune complex deposited are readily injuried and cause hemorrhage and rupture of HCC during vascular load increase. ConclusionWe would conclude that immune complex deposition in vessel wall led to the small arteries injury may be the factor involved in the pathogenesis of spontaneous ruptured HCC.
ObjectiveTo study the epidemiologic characteristics of primary liver cancer (PLC). MethodsThe literatures about regional distribution and etiologic epidemiology of PLC were reviewed. Results PLC was mainly distributed on caostland in the south-east of China. The main cause of PLC was hepatitis B virus, aflatoxin and contamination of drinking water. Otherwise, PLS was also related with lack of some trace element, sex horemones, genealogy cause and so on.Conclusion The genesis of PLC was by multiple factors.
Objective To explore the value of laparoscopic hepatectomy for small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of non-peripheral type. Methods The clinical data of 34 patients with small HCC of non-peripheral type underwent laparoscopic liver resection from March 2008 to April 2011 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results Thirty-two patients received successful total laparoscopic hepatectomy without blockage of liver blood flow,and 2 were converted to open surgery. The operative time was (162±65) min (100-220 min) and the blood loss was (295±166) ml (100-750 ml). There were postoperative complications in 4 patients, included cross-section bleeding in 2 cases and ascites in 2 cases. There were no complications such as biliary fistula, infection, carbon dioxide gas embolism, and so on. The mortality of perioperative period was 0. The postoperative hospital stay was (6±2) d (4-9 d). The follow-up time was (23±7) months (5-42 months). Thirteen patients developed intrahepatic tumor recurrence during follow-up. The overall and recurrence-free survival rate one year after operation was 90.6% (29/32)and 75.0% (24/32), respectively. Conclusions Laparoscopic hepatectomy is a safe, feasible, and minimal invasive approach for small HCC of non-peripheral type,and it can be considered as a alternative treatment of HCC.
【摘要】目的探讨肝切除术治疗原发性肝细胞癌自发性破裂(SRHCC)的效果。方法回顾性分析19例肝切除术治疗SRHCC患者的效果。结果肝切除19例,1个月存活率为94.7%,1年、3年及5年存活率分别为63.2%、16.7%及8.3%,平均存活时间为30.8个月(4 d~25年零9个月),最长1例存活超过25年零9个月,目前仍健在。18例肝功能属ChildPugh A级患者安全度过围手术期; 1例肝功能ChildPugh B级者术后4 d死于肝功能衰竭。结论SRHCC并非均为晚期病变,对早期肝癌破裂肝功能良好者应采取急诊手术切肝; 如患者情况或医疗条件不允许,可行延期或二期手术治疗。
ObjectiveTo summarize the experience of combined treatment of conventional transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (cTACE) and drug-eluting-bead chemoembolization(D-TACE) in a case of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with intrahepatic metastasis.MethodsA patient with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who was admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in October 2018 was treated with TACE for three times.ResultsAfter MDT discussion, three interventional operations were performed on this patient in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. CT examination after the first treatment with cTACE showed that lipiodol deposited in liver lesions and the lesions were more stable than before; after the second treatment with cTACE and D-TACE, CT examination showed more lipiodol deposited in the tumors, and the tumors were more limited and significantly reduced; after the third treatment with cTACE, CT examination showed that the tumors were effectively controlled and no progress was made. This patient was followed-up for 2 months after the fourth cTACE, tumors were effectively controlled and no progress occurred.ConclusionsIn advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with intrahepatic metastasis, TACE is the best treatment. Combination of D-TACE and cTACE can achieve better clinical efficacy.
