Background: Exploring the mechanisms underlying sorafenib resistance that arises in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may provide new treatment perspectives.

Methods: Drug-resistant and drug-sensitive HCC cell lines were constructed from existing HepG2 and Huh7 cell lines, and gene expression profiles were determined. Genes differentially expressed between the resistant and sensitive lines were identified and organized into modules based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • Primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PHNEC) is a rare liver tumor with non-specific symptoms and unclear treatment standards.
  • A case study of a 53-year-old male in China highlighted successful treatment using hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with camrelizumab and apatinib, resulting in a significant reduction of tumor size.
  • This combination therapy may offer a promising approach for managing advanced PHNEC, although more research is required to establish standardized treatment protocols.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to identify the association between tumor grade and liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS)-related genes, and to generate a LLPS-related gene-based risk index (LLPSRI) as a prognostic tool for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: Weighted gene correlation network analysis was performed to test whether the LLPS-related gene modules were associated with tumor grade of HCC. The candidate modules were subjected to functional enrichment analysis.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of preoperative aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet-ratio index (APRI) score to predict the risk of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver resection, and to compare the discriminatory performance of the APRI with the Child-Pugh score, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score.

Patients And Methods: A total of 1,044 consecutive patients with HCC who underwent liver resection were enrolled and studied. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate risk factors associated with PHLF.
