Evaluation of the Efficacy, Safety, and Clinical Outcomes of Ginsenosides as Adjuvant Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.

Ginsenosides (GS), including total GS, Rh2, Rg3 and compound K (CK), have been utilized as adjuvants in transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), surgery, and chemotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy. However, the safety and efficacy of such combination treatments have been contradictory across different studies. This study aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of GS as adjuvant therapy for HCC.

Effect of lidocaine pumped through hepatic artery to relieve pain of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy.

Background: This study aims to explore the analgesic effect of lidocaine administered through the hepatic artery during hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: A total of 45 HCC patients were randomly divided into a study group and a control group. Both groups received oxaliplatin (OXA) based FOLFOX protocol via electronic infusion pump.

Laboratory scoring system to predict hepatic indocyanine green clearance ability during fluorescence imaging-guided laparoscopic hepatectomy.

Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence played an important role in tumor localization and margin delineation in hepatobiliary surgery. However, the preoperative regimen of ICG administration was still controversial. Factors associated with tumor fluorescence staining effect were unclear.

Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma a case report and literature review.

Introduction: Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a rare disease with a high probability of being misdiagnosed.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a 38-year-old female patient found with HEHE by physical examination. The tumor was removed by surgery successfully, but then had recurrence after the operation.

Evaluation of therapeutic efficacy, safety and economy of ERCP and LTCBDE in the treatment of common bile duct stones.

This study further compared the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration (LTCBDE) approaches in the treatment of common bile duct stones (CBDS) from the perspective of efficacy, safety and economy. The therapeutic efficacy and safety of ERCP and LTCBDE approaches were retrospectively compared. Cost-effectiveness analysis of clinical economics was performed to analyze and evaluate the two approaches.
