The Safety and Efficacy of Hepatic Transarterial Embolization Using Microspheres and Microcoils in Patients with Symptomatic Polycystic Liver Disease. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12101624. [PMID: 36294764 PMCID: PMC9605116 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12101624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: We investigated the long-term safety and efficacy of hepatic transarterial embolization (TAE) in patients with symptomatic polycystic liver disease (PLD). Materials and Methods: A total of 26 patients were included, mean age of 52.3 years (range: 33−78 years), undergoing 32 TAE procedures between January 2012 and December 2019 were included in this retrospective study. Distal embolization of the segmental hepatic artery was performed with 300−500 µm embolic microspheres associated with proximal embolization using microcoils. The primary endpoint was clinical efficacy, defined by an improvement in health-related quality of life using a modified Short Form-36 Health Survey and improvement in symptoms (digestive or respiratory symptoms and chronic abdominal pain), without invasive therapy during the follow-up period. Secondary endpoints were a decrease in total liver volume and treated liver volume and complications. Results: Hepatic embolization was performed successfully in 30 of 32 procedures with no major adverse events. Clinical efficacy was 73% (19/26). The mean reduction in hepatic volume was −12.6% at 3 months and −27.8% at the last follow-up 51 ± 15.2 months after TAE (range: 30−81 months; both ps < 0.01). The mean visual analog scale pain score was 5.4 ± 2.8 before TAE and decreased to 2.7 ± 1.9 after treatment. Three patients had minor adverse events, and one patient had an adverse event of moderate severity. Conclusion: Hepatic embolization using microspheres and microcoils is a safe and effective treatment for PLD that improves symptoms and reduces the volume of hepatic cysts.

[PMID: 35898920 PMCID: PMC9310217 DOI: 10.1177/20406223221112563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Polycystic liver disease (PCLD) is the most common extrarenal manifestation
of polycystic kidney disease. There is an urgent need to assess the efficacy
and safety of nonsurgical modalities to relieve symptoms and decrease the
severity of PCLD. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the
nonsurgical treatment of PCLD and the quality of life of affected
patients. Methods: PubMed, Ovid, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for
studies on the nonsurgical modalities, either medications or radiological
intervention to manage PCLD. Treatment efficacy, adverse events (AEs), and
patient quality of life were evaluated. Results: In total, 27 studies involving 1037 patients were selected. After nonsurgical
treatment, liver volume decreased by 259 ml/m [mean change (Δ) of 6.22%] and
the effect was higher in the radiological intervention group [−1617 ml/m
(−15.49%)] than in the medication group [−151 ml/m (−3.78%)]. The AEs and
serious AEs rates after overall nonsurgical treatment were 0.50 [95%
confidence interval (CI): 0.33–0.67] and 0.04 (95% CI: 0.01–0.07),
respectively. The results of the SF-36 questionnaire showed that PCLD
treatment improved physical function [physical component summary score of
4.18 (95% CI: 1.54–6.83)] but did not significantly improve mental function
[mental component summary score of 0.91 (95% CI: −1.20 to 3.03)]. Conclusion: Nonsurgical treatment was effective and safe for PCLD, but did not improve
the quality of life in terms of mental health. Radiological intervention
directly reduces hepatic cysts, and thus they should be considered for
immediate symptom relief in patients with severe symptoms, whereas
medication might be considered for maintenance treatment. Registration number: PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews)

WILEY INTERDISCIPLINARY REVIEWS. NANOMEDICINE AND NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY 2022; 14:e1749. [PMID: 34405552 PMCID: PMC8850537 DOI: 10.1002/wnan.1749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Revised: 07/22/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a recommended treatment for patients suffering from intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As compared to the conventional TACE, drug-eluting bead TACE demonstrates several advantages in terms of survival, treatment response, and adverse effects. The selection of embolic agents is critical to the success of TACE. Many studies have been performed on the modification of the structure, size, homogeneity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of embolic agents. Continuing efforts are focused on efficient loading of versatile chemotherapeutics, controlled sizes for sufficient occlusion, real-time detection intra- and post-procedure, and multimodality imaging-guided precise treatment. Here, we summarize recent advances and applications of microspheres and nanoparticles in TACE for HCC. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 122:111949. [PMID: 33641932 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.111949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2020] [Revised: 01/30/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Gelatin has various attractive features as biomedical materials, for instance, biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, biodegradability, and ease of manipulation. In recent years, various gelatin-based microspheres (GMSs) have been fabricated with innovative technologies to serve as sustained delivery vehicles of drugs and genetic materials as well as beneficial bacteria. Moreover, GMSs have exhibited promising potentials to act as both cell carriers and 3D scaffold components in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, which not only exhibit excellent injectability but also could be integrated into a macroscale construct with the laden cells. Herein, we aim to thoroughly summarize the recent progress in the preparations and biomedical applications of GMSs and then to point out the research direction in future. First, various methods for the fabrication of GMSs will be described. Second, the recent use of GMSs in tumor embolization and in the delivery of cells, drugs, and genetic material as well as bacteria will be presented. Finally, several key factors that may enhance the improvement of GMSs were suggested as delivery vehicles.
