Tenacissoside H Induces Autophagy and Radiosensitivity of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells by PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway.

Tenacissoside H (TEH), which has anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects, is a major active ingredient extracted from the stem of . However, the effect of TEH on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as well as the underlying mechanisms are still indistinct. Presently, HCC cells (including Huh-7 and HepG2) were dealt with different concentrations of TEH.

Superselective Arterial Hyaluronidase Thrombolysis Is Not an Effective Treatment for Hyaluronic Acid-Induced Retinal Artery Occlusion: Study in a Rabbit Model.

Background: Worldwide application of hyaluronic acid has brought about severe complications, including central retinal arterial occlusion, which leads to a deleterious effect on vision. The current study explored the efficacy of superselective arterial hyaluronidase thrombolysis in rabbit retinal artery occlusion induced by hyaluronic acid.

Methods: Occlusion of the internal/external ophthalmic artery in New Zealand White rabbits was induced with superselective injection of hyaluronic acid.

Clinical Characteristics of Transarterial Chemoembolization in Treatment of Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma Complicated With Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

Objective: The present study aims to analyze the clinical characteristics and etiology of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in order to improve the early diagnosis rate and cure rate.

Methods: A total of 816 patients with primary HCC received 2,200 TACE treatments from January 2014 to May 2018. Among these patients, 6 patients developed ARDS after TACE.

[Value of susceptibility weighted imaging in hepatic fibrosis staging by using MR in a rabbit model].

Objective: To assess the feasibility of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in staging hepatic fibrosis(HF).

Methods: Sixty healthy rabbits were divided into three groups: HF group(n=32), control group(n=16), supplementary group(n=12). Rabbits in HF group and supplementary group were injected subcutaneously with 50% CCl4 oil solution to establish hepatic fibrosis model.
