Background: In this study, we comprehensively profiled the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of the tumor and adjacent normal tissue in patients with HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and determined the baseline characteristics and clinical significance of TCR.

Methods: High-throughput sequencing was used to determine the profile of complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) of the TCR-β chain variable (TRBV) in the tumor and normal tissue samples of 14 HCC patients. At the same time, TRBV diversity and differences in expression between tumor and normal tissues were investigated.

Aim: To investigate the changes of gut microflora and endotoxin levels in rats with acute liver failure (ALF) induced by D-galactosamine (GalN).

Methods: Flora and endotoxin levels in the jejunum, ileum and colon in normal rats (group A) and rats with GalN -induced ALF were determined at 24 h (group B) or 48 h (group C) after GalN injection, as well as the endotoxin level in portal venous blood (PVB) and right ventricle blood (RVB) were determined by chromogenic limulus amoebocyte assay.

Results: Intestinal (jejunum, ileum, colon) lactobacillus count was statistically reduced in group B compared with those in group A (3.

Objective: To investigate the dynamic variability of intestinal flora and endotoxins in rats with fulminate hepatic failure.

Methods: Establishing the fulminate hepatic failure models by intraperitoneal injection of Galactosamine. Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: group A (n=10) were killed at the beginning of the experiment as control; while Group B (n=12) and C (n=18), the fulminate hepatic failure models, were killed 24 and 48 hours respectively after successful induction.
