Article Synopsis
- In China, two methods for improving liver function before surgery, PALPP and TACE plus PVE, have been used but not compared for effectiveness.
- A study analyzed the clinical outcomes of 29 patients, revealing no significant differences in complications but highlighting that PALPP led to faster growth in liver volume.
- PALPP not only achieved a higher rate of successful two-stage surgeries but also resulted in greater FLR volume increases without adding extra risks compared to TACE plus PVE.
Purpose: The present study investigated the clinical significance of transmembrane protease, serine 4(TMPRSS4) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 (Erk1) in the development, progression and metastasis of gastric cancer.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry was employed to analyze TMPRSS4 and Erk1 expression in 436 gastric cancer cases and 92 non-cancerous human gastric tissues.
Results: Protein levels of TMPRSS4 and Erk1 were up-regulated in gastric cancer lesions compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues.

Aim: Tanscatheter arterial embolization irrespective of with or without an anticancer agent and lipiodol has been controversial with regard to survival benefit. Therefore, we conducted a prospective study to analyze the effect of transcatheter arterial lipiodol chemoembolization (TACE) on the survival of HCC.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted, and a total of 326 patients with primary liver cancer who were newly diagnosed were collected from January 2004 to January 2005 in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital of China.
