Objective: To study on the efficacy, prognosis and security of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Totally 72 HCC patients treated by HIFU from December 2009 to January 2011 were divided into two groups according to treatment methods: 40 cases in HIFU group, 32 cases in TACE + HIFU treatment group (combined group). Then set up a control group include 40 cases treated by only TACE in the same period (TACE group).
Necessity and indications of invasive treatment for Budd-Chiari syndrome.
Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int
June 2011
Background: The development of collaterals in Budd-Chiari syndrome has been described and these collaterals play an important role in the presentation of this disease. These collaterals are diagnostic and their use in management strategy has never been evaluated. This study aimed to investigate the indications, feasibility and necessity of invasive treatment for patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome and to determine whether such a strategy is necessary for optimal management.

December 2007
Article Synopsis
- Brain-dead donors can affect organ function post-transplantation, leading to liver injury, which this study investigates using BA-Ma mini pigs.
- The study involved three groups: a brain-dead group, a breviscapine-treated group, and a control group, measuring various liver injury markers and inflammatory factors at different time intervals.
- Results showed that breviscapine treatment reduced liver enzyme levels, inflammatory factors, and PKC-alpha expression, indicating its protective effects against hepatic injury after brain-death.
Combined splenocaval or mesocaval C shunt and portoazygous devascularization in the treatment of portal hypertension: analysis of 150 cases.
Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int
February 2006
Background: Portal hypertension is a common disease and its major surgical therapeutic approaches include devascularization and shunting. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of combined splenocaval or mesocaval C shunt and portoazygous devascularization (combined procedures) on portal hypertension.
Methods: The clinical data of 150 patients with portal hypertension who had undergone combined procedures at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 1990 to May 2003 were analyzed retrospectively.
Triplex operation for portal hypertension with esophageal variceal bleeding: report of 140 cases.
Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int
November 2004
Background: Portal hypertension is a common disease. The surgical therapy of this disease focuses on the resultant upper digestive tract bleeding, which can imperil patients' life directly. This study was to evaluate the effect of triplex operation (mesocaval C shunt with artificial graft, ligation of the coronary vein and splenic artery) on portal hypertension and its associated upper digestive tract bleeding.

November 2004
Article Synopsis
- Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare condition that leads to obstructed blood flow in the liver, and treatments mainly involve surgical or radiological methods.
- A study analyzed data from 147 severe BCS patients treated at a hospital over nine years, focusing on surgical outcomes.
- Results indicated that 69.4% of patients had excellent outcomes, while 27.2% had good results after various surgical interventions, with only five fatalities recorded during follow-up.
Surgical treatment of 1360 cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome: 20-year experience.
Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int
August 2004
Background: Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a disease caused by blood flow obstruction of the main hepatic veins (MHVs) and/or the outlet of the inferior vena cava (IVC), characterized by retrohepatic portal hypertension (PHT) and/or IVC hypertension. In the past decade, over 3000 cases of BCS have been reported in China. This study was to sum up our 20-year experience in surgical treatment of BCS and to investigate its pathological classification and principles of surgery.
