Hepatol Res 2024; 54:667-677. [PMID: 38279693 DOI: 10.1111/hepr.14013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
AIM Neoadjuvant transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for large tumors is controversial, especially in the minimally invasive surgery era. The aim of this study was to compare features between groups treated with neoadjuvant TACE followed by surgery (TACE + surgery) or upfront surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma >5 cm. METHODS In this exploratory, multicenter, randomized phase I study, the primary measure was 2-year disease-free survival (DFS). Secondary measures were resection rate, necrosis rate by TACE, 2-year overall survival, and site of recurrence. A total of 30 patients were randomly allocated to each arm. RESULTS The two arms did not differ in patient characteristics. The median time to surgery from randomization was 48 days for TACE + surgery and 29 for surgery only (p < 0.001). Postoperative morbidities did not differ between arms. The 2-year DFS, overall survival, and resection rates were 56.7%, 80.0%, and 93.3%, respectively, in the TACE + surgery arm, and 56.1%, 89.9%, and 90.0% in the upfront surgery arm. Minimally invasive surgery was carried out in 35.7% in the TACE + surgery arm and in 29.6% in the upfront surgery arm. The median necrosis rate by TACE was 90.0%. In resected specimens, invasion to the hepatic vein was less with TACE + surgery (3.6% vs. 22.2%, p = 0.0380). In cases of 100% necrosis with TACE, 2-year DFS was 100%. Site of recurrence did not differ between groups. CONCLUSION Neoadjuvant TACE did not improve 2-year DFS, and neoadjuvant TACE allowed delay of surgical treatment without increased morbidity and cancer progress. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN: 000005241.

[PMID: 38573395 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05641-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of L-PRF as a healing agent in the postoperative period of third molar extraction surgeries, as well as to investigate secondary effects, such as the reduction of pain, edema and other discomforts after the surgical intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS The methodology adopted consisted of carrying out a systematic review of the literature, following the model outlined by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The inclusion criteria were previously established according to a systematic review protocol approved by the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under number CRD42023484679. In order to carry out a comprehensive search, a search in five databases was carried out, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Embase. RESULTS The search resulted in the selection of randomized controlled trials that conformed to the established criteria. Two authors independently screened the records and extracted the data. The assessment of bias was conducted according to the guidelines recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration, using version 2 of the Cochrane tool for assessing the risk of bias in randomized trials (RoB 2). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that L-PRF stands out by providing direct benefits to healing, vascularization and tissue regeneration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE L-PRF plays an important role in reducing postoperative pain, edema, the incidence of alveolar osteitis and infections after third molar removal surgery, compared to patients who did not undergo the use of L-PRF.

Abstract
The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and HCC-related deaths has increased over the last few decades. There are several risk factors of HCC such as viral hepatitis (B, C), cirrhosis, tobacco and alcohol use, aflatoxin-contaminated food, pesticides, diabetes, obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and metabolic and genetic diseases. Diagnosis of HCC is based on different methods such as imaging ultrasonography (US), multiphasic enhanced computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and several diagnostic biomarkers. In this review, we examine the epidemiology of HCC worldwide and in Egypt as well as risk factors associated with the development of HCC and, finally, provide the updated diagnostic biomarkers for the diagnosis of HCC, particularly in the early stages of HCC. Several biomarkers are considered to diagnose HCC, including downregulated or upregulated protein markers secreted during HCC development, circulating nucleic acids or cells, metabolites, and the promising, recently identified biomarkers based on quantitative proteomics through the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ). In addition, a diagnostic model used to improve the sensitivity of combined biomarkers for the diagnosis of early HCC is discussed.

[PMID: 33426736 PMCID: PMC7935782 DOI: 10.1111/cas.14807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 72] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer‐related death. High recurrence rates after curative resection and the lack of specific biomarkers for intrahepatic metastases are major clinical problems. Recently, exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to have a role in the formation of the pre‐metastatic niche and as promising biomarkers in patients with malignancy. Here we aimed to clarify the molecular mechanisms of intrahepatic metastasis and to identify a novel biomarker miRNA in patients with HCC. A highly intrahepatic metastatic cell line (HuH‐7M) was established by in vivo selection. HuH‐7M showed increased proliferative ability and suppression of apoptosis and anoikis. HuH‐7M and the parental cell (HuH‐7P) showed the similar expression of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition markers and cancer stem cell markers. In vivo, mice treated with exosomes derived from HuH‐7M showed increased tumorigenesis of liver metastases. Exosomes from HuH‐7M downregulated endothelial cell expression of vascular endothelial‐cadherin (VE‐cadherin) and zonula occludens‐1 (ZO‐1) in non‐cancerous regions of liver and increased the permeability of FITC‐dextran through the monolayer of endothelial cells. The miRNAs (miR‐638, miR‐663a, miR‐3648, and miR‐4258) could attenuate endothelial junction integrity by inhibiting VE‐cadherin and ZO‐1 expression. In patients with HCC, higher serum exosomal miR‐638 expression was associated with tumor recurrence. In conclusion, the miRNAs secreted from a highly metastatic cancer cell can promote vascular permeability via downregulation of endothelial expression of VE‐cadherin and ZO‐1. Serum exosomal miR‐638 expression holds potential for serving as a significant and independent prognostic marker in HCC.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to detect clinical variations between lung adenocarcinoma patients with and without ocular metastasis (OM) to identify risk factors for OM and assess the diagnostic values. We included 1153 patients with lung adenocarcinoma in this study. Independent t-tests and chi-square tests were used to compare patients' clinical characteristics. Statistically significant parameters were analyzed by binary logistic regression to detect risk factors of OM. The results showed that the OM group had increased alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin fragment 19 (CYFRA 21-1), carbohydrate antigen- (CA-) 125, CA-153, and total prostate-specific antigen (TPSA) compared with the NOM group. CYFRA21-1 is the most useful biomarker for detecting OM in this population.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare short-term outcomes of laparoscopic and open liver resection (LLR and OLR, respectively), and we first analyzed a preoperatively enrolled and prospectively collected database. We carried out a secondary analysis using a preoperative enrolled database that included the details of 786 patients who had been enrolled in a previously carried out randomized controlled trial to assess short-term outcomes, including morbidities. Statistical analyses included logistic regression, propensity score matching (PSM) with replacement, and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analyses. Among 780 liver resections, OLR was carried out in 543 patients and LLR was carried out in 237 patients. LLR was selected in patients with a worse liver function and was related to a smaller resected liver weight and/or partial resection. Logistic regression, PSM, and IPTW analyses revealed that LLR was associated with less blood loss and a lower incidence of morbidities, but a longer operating time. LLR was found to be a preferred factor in biliary leakage by IPTW only. LLR was a preferred factor for blood loss, morbidities and hospital stay, but was associated with a longer operating time.
