The use of SonoVue combined with ultrasound exposure increases the transfection efficiency of short interfering RNA (siRNA). The objective of this study was to prepare targeted nanobubbles (TNB) conjugated with NET-1 siRNA and an antibody GPC3 to direct nanobubbles to hepatocellular carcinoma cells. SMMC-7721 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells were treated with six different groups. The transfection efficiency and cellular apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. The protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression were measured by Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR, respectively. The migration and invasion potential of the cells were determined by Transwell analysis. The results show that US-guided siRNA-TNB transfection effectively enhanced gene silencing. In summary, siRNA-TNB may be an effective delivery vector to mediate highly effective RNA interference in tumor treatment.

CBA-1205 is a novel humanized antibody targeting delta-like 1 homolog (DLK1) that enhances antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity activity. DLK1 overexpression has been reported in various cancer types, such as hepatocellular carcinoma and neuroblastoma. CBA-1205 demonstrates potent antitumor activity in multiple tumor models, making it a potential treatment option for DLK1-expressing cancers.

Background: Peritoneal metastasis (PM) after the rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a critical issue that negatively affects patient prognosis. Machine learning models have shown great potential in predicting clinical outcomes; however, the optimal model for this specific problem remains unclear.
Methods: Clinical data were collected and analyzed from 522 patients with ruptured HCC who underwent surgery at 7 different medical centers.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of [Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT for assessing viable tumours (VTs) after local regional treatment (LRT) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. The related imaging features of HCC after LRT are preliminarily discussed.
Methods: A cohort of 37 LRT patients with HCC (encompassing 51 lesions) was retrospectively included from a prospective parent study (ChiCTR2000039099), and sequential PET/CT using [F]FDG and [Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 was performed.

Protein -glycosylation, as one of the most crucial post-translational modifications, plays a significant role in various biological processes. The structural alterations of -glycans are closely associated with the onset and progression of numerous diseases. Therefore, the precise and specific identification of disease-related -glycans in complex biological samples is invaluable for understanding their involvement in physiological and pathological processes, as well as for discovering clinical diagnostic biomarkers.
