Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) compared to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- A meta-analysis of six cohort studies with 188 patients in the HIFU group and 224 patients in the TACE group revealed no difference in the 1-year overall survival rate or tumor response, but HIFU showed better 6-month and 2-year survival rates postoperatively.
- The conclusion suggests that while HIFU might have comparable safety to TACE, further high-quality studies are needed to confirm its advantages, given the limitations of the current research.
Background: Cell pyroptosis has a strong proinflammatory effect, but it is unclear whether pyroptosis of liver macrophages exacerbates liver tissue damage during liver ischemia‒reperfusion (I/R) injury. Maresin1 (MaR1) has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, and whether it can suppress liver macrophage pyroptosis needs further study.
Methods: This study aimed to investigate whether MaR1 can alleviate liver I/R injury by inhibiting macrophage pyroptosis.
