RÉSUMÉ
Objective To evaluate ultrasound assisted virtual MRI guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) adjacent to gastrointestinal tract with artificial ascites.Methods A total of 33 HCC lesions in 32 patients adjacent to gastrointestinal tract in our hospital were collected.After the establishment of artificial ascites,they were treated with radiofrequency ablation guided by ultrasound-guiding fusion and virtual MRI navigation.The curative effect and complication rate were compared with the control group (non-hollow GI tract abutting HCC lesions).Results All 33 lesions were completely ablated without residual.After 1 month and 3 months follow-up,the reexamination of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and MRI showed no activity and no new lesions.All cases had no serious complications such as gastrointestinal injury.There were no statistically significant differences in tumor complete inactivation rate,complication rate and recurrence rate between the two groups.Conclusion Ultrasound-guiding fusion and virtual MRI guided radiofrequency ablation with artificial ascites is safe and effective in the treatment of liver cancer adjacent to gastrointestinal tract.
RÉSUMÉ
Previous studies have demonstrated that the Chinese medicine paeoniflorin, derived from the Ranunculaceae plant peony, peony, purple peony root, was able to have anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, anti-hypersusceptibility and anti-oxidation activity. In order to elucidate the pesticide effect and the mechanisms by which paeoniflorin exerts its effect of anti-inflammation and immunoregulation on oxazolone-induced colitic mice, disease activity index (DAI) and histological grading of colitis (HGC) were evaluated in animal model. Moreover, the expressions of HBD-2, IL-6 and IL-10 of mice with experimental colitis were observed with immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR in this study. Results showed that DAI and HGC of oxazolone control group was significantly higher than that of normal control group, and that paeoniflorin groups and 5-ASA group, compared with oxazolone control group, could alleviate the symptoms and histological damages of colitic mice (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The expression of HBD-2 and IL-6 cytokine on the colon of colitic mice was higher than that of normal control, paeoniflorin and 5-ASA groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), but the expression of IL-10 is lower than that of normal control, paeoniflorin and 5-ASA groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The positive correlations were demonstrated between the expression of (HBD-2 and IL-6) and DAI (Pearson r = 0.728, Pearson r = 0.758, P < 0.01, respectively), (HBD-2 and IL-6) and HGC (Pearson r = 0.819, Pearson r = 0.825, P < 0.01, respectively), whereas, the negative correlations were demonstrated between the expression of IL-10 and DAI (Pearson r = -0.789, P < 0.01), IL-10 and HGC (Pearson r = -0.725, P < 0.01). It can be concluded that to some extent paeoniflorin effectively alleviate the symptoms of oxazolone-induced colitis through regulating the expression of HBD-2, IL-6 and IL-10.
