ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the risk factors of hepatocellular carcinoma microvascular invasion (MVI) and to construct a preoperative prediction clinical scoring system.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made on 113 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing hepatectomy at Zhongshan Hospital from March 2018 to Jun 2019.Postoperative pathology confirmed 35 cases with microvascular invasion.Results:The multivariate logistic regression model showed that the maximum tumor diameter( OR: 1.028, 95% CI: 1.001-1.005), the smoothness of the capsule edge( OR: 0.208, 95% CI: 0.062-0.699), the positive circulating tumor cells (CTC)( OR: 3.728, 95% CI: 1.029-13.501) and abnormal prothrombin(PIVKA-Ⅱ)( OR: 1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.002) were risk factors for MVI. The area, sensitivity and specificity of the clinical score constructed by assigning 1 point to each risk factor were 0.906, 74.29% and 92.31%, respectively. Clinical scores of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 predict MVI positive rates of 0 (0/26), 9.09% (3/33), 28.57% (6/21), 77.78% (14/ 18), 85.71% (12/14). Conclusions:Tumor maximum diameter>62 mm, PIVKA-Ⅱ>115 mAU/ml, unsmooth tumor capsule and CTC in peripheral blood are independent high risk factors in patients with MVI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the experience of prevention of biliary tract complications after liver transplantation from organ donation after citizen's death. Methods Clinical data of 88 cases undergoing liver transplantation from organ donation after citizen's death in the Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from October 2008 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Eighty-eight cases were eligible for the standards for organ donation after brain death plus cardiac death according to the Ⅲ national system for organ donation in China. According to the standard procedures, donor livers were successfully harvested and transplanted in 88 recipients. The biliary tract was reconstructed using the bile duct end-to-end anastomosis. The length of bile duct in the donors was shortened as possible. Slight tension should be maintained during anastomosis. Neither primary liver graft nonfunction nor rejection reaction occurred. One recipient suffered from bile leakage and recovered after drainage for 3 weeks. Two patients presented with biliary tract stenosis and mitigated after the placement of biliary tract stent. Conclusions The harvesting of donor liver should be in accordance with the standard procedures. The advantages of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) should be fully utilized to shorten warm and cold ischemia time as possible. Much attention should be diverted to the reconstruction of biliary tract, which contributes to decreasing the risk of biliary tract complications. Favorable clinical efficacy can be achieved in liver transplantation from organ donation after citizen's death.
