| 1 | Hyperglycemia is a significant prognostic factor of hepatocellular carcinoma after curative therapy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate whether metabolic factors are related to distant recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and survival after curative treatment.METHODS:This retrospective study included 344 patients whose HCC was treated curatively by radiofrequency ablation(RFA) therapy.The mean age was 67.6 years and the mean observation period was 4.04 years.The etiological background of liver disease was hepatitis B virus infection in 30,hepatitis C virus infection in 278,excessive alcohol drinking in 9,and other in 27 patients.The Child-Pugh classification grade was A(n = 307) or B(n = 37).The number of HCC nodules was one in 260,two in 61,and three in 23 patients.For surveillance of HCC recurrence after curative therapy with RFA,patients were radiologically evaluated every 3 mo.Factors associated with distant recurrence of HCC or survival were studied.RESULTS:Inadequate maintenance of blood glucose in diabetic patients was associated with higher incidence of distant recurrence.The 1-,2-,and 3-year recurrence rates were significantly higher in diabetic patients with inadequate maintenance of blood glucose compared with the others:50.6% vs 26.8%,83.5% vs 54.4%,and 93.8% vs 73.0%,respectively(P = 0.0001).Inadequate maintenance of blood glucose was an independent predictor of distant recurrence [adjusted relative risk 1.97(95%CI,1.33-2.91),(P = 0.0007)] after adjustment for other risk factors,such as number of HCC nodules [2.03(95%CI,1.51-2.73),P < 0.0001] and initial level of serum alpha fetoprotein(AFP) [1.43(95%CI,1.04-1.97),P = 0.028].Obesity was not an independent predictor of recurrence.The incidence of distant recurrence did not differ between diabetic patients with adequate maintenance of blood glucose and non-diabetic patients.Among 232 patients who had HCC recurrence,138 had a second recurrence.The 1-,2-,and 3-year rates of second recurrence were significantly higher in diabetic patients with inadequate maintenance of blood glucose than in the others:9.0% vs 5.9%,53.1% vs 24.3%,and 69.6% vs 42.3%,respectively(P = 0.0021).Inadequate maintenance of blood glucose in diabetic patients [1.99(95%CI,1.23-3.22),P = 0.0049] and presence of multiple HCC nodules [1.53(95%CI,1.06-2.22),P = 0.024] were again significantly associated with second HCC recurrence.Inadequate maintenance of blood glucose in diabetic patients was also a significant predictor of poor survival [2.77(95%CI,1.38-5.57),P = 0.0046] independent of excessive alcohol drinking [6.34(95%CI,1.35-29.7),P = 0.019],initial level of serum AFP [3.40(95%CI,1.88-6.18),P < 0.0001] and Child-Pugh classification grade B [2.24(95%CI,1.12-4.46),P = 0.022].Comparing diabetic patients with inadequate maintenance of blood glucose vs the others,the 1-,2-,and 3-year survival rates were significantly lower in diabetic patients with inadequate maintenance of blood glucose:92% vs 99%,85% vs 96%,and 70% vs 92%,respectively(P = 0.0003).CONCLUSION:Inadequate maintenance of blood glucose in diabetic patients is a significant risk factor for recurrence of HCC and for poor survival after curative RFA therapy. | Takanori Hosokawa Masayuki Kurosaki Kaoru Tsuchiya Shuya Matsuda Masaru Muraoka Yuichiro Suzuki Nobuharu Tamaki Yutaka Yasui Toru Nakata Takashi Nishimura Shoko Suzuki Ken Ueda Hiroyuki Nakanishi Jun Itakura Yuka Takahashi Namiki Izumi | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，2： | 12 |
| 4 | Late-onset severe biliary bleeding after endoscopic pigtail plastic stent insertion显示文摘Here, we report our experience with a case of severe biliary bleeding due to a hepatic arterial pseudoaneurysm that had developed 1 year after endoscopic biliary plastic stent insertion. The patient, a 78-year-old woman, presented with hematemesis and obstructive jaundice. Ruptured hepatic arterial pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed, which was suspected to have been caused by long-term placement of an endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage(ERBD) stent. This episode of biliary bleeding was successfully treated by transarterial embolization(TAE). Pseudoaneurysm leading to hemobilia is a rare but potentially fatal complication in patients with long-term placement of ERBD. TAE is a minimally invasive procedure that offers effective treatment for biliary bleeding. | Muneji Yasuda Hideki Sato Yuki Koyama Tomoki Sakakida Takumi Kawakami Takeshi Nishimura Hideki Fujii Yoshikazu Nakatsugawa Shinya Yamada Naoya Tomatsuri Yusuke Okuyama Hiroyuki Kimura Takaaki Ito Hiroyuki Morishita Norimasa Yoshida | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017，23，4： | 2 |
