Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Long-term outcomes of patients with ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (rHCC) remain scant. This study aimed to assess disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) after surgical resection of rHCC compared to non-ruptured HCC (nrHCC).
Methods
Patients with rHCC and nrHCC were collected from 8 centers in Europe, Asia, and North America. Resected rHCC patients were matched 1:1 to patients undergoing surgery for nrHCC using propensity score and nearest-neighbor method (matching criteria: age, tumor size, cirrhosis, Child-Pugh score, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage, resection status, grade, and microvascular invasion). Survival rates were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method.
Results
A total of 2033 patients were included: 226 rHCC patients (172 operated: 68 with upfront surgery and 104 after embolization) and 1807 nrHCC patients. Median DFS and OS of rHCC patients (all treatments confounded) were 10 months (95% CI 7–13) and 22 months (95% CI 13–31). Prognostic factors for worse OS among rHCC patients were absence of preoperative arterial embolization (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2–4.6, p=0.016), cirrhosis Child B/C (HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.1–5.4, p=0.040), and R1/R2 margins (HR 2, 95% CI 1–5, p=0.049). Survivals were similar between Western and Eastern rHCC patients.
After propensity score matching, 106 rHCC patients and 106 nrHCC patients displayed similar characteristics. Patients with rHCC had shorter median DFS (12 months, 95% CI 7–17 vs. 22 months, 95% CI 12–32, p=0.011), but similar median OS compared to nrHCC patients (43 months, 95% CI 21–65 vs. 63 months, 95% CI 21–105, p=0.060).
Conclusion
In this large dataset including Eastern and Western patients, rHCC was associated with shorter DFS compared to nrHCC, while OS was similar.

Abstract
AIMS To better understand nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) contamination in a hospital setting, six freshwater fish gut homogenates and water in an aquarium fish tank placed on the reception counter of a nursing station were cultured for mycobacteria. METHODS AND RESULTS By direct sequencing of 16s rRNA, rpoB and hsp65, scotochromogenic and nonchromogenic Mycobacterium szulgai isolates containing hsp65 type II (GenBank accession nos. FJ384762 and FJ384764, respectively), Mycobacterium gordonae isolates containing rpoB clusters B and E (GenBank accession no. FJ384766), and Mycobacterium kansasii isolates containing hsp65 type VI were collected from the gut homogenates and water from the fish tank. However, no isolates were obtained from the tap water used to refill the fish tank. A randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using a 10-mer primer (5'-TGGTCGCGGC) showed that some NTM from the fish tank water were identical to those obtained from the gut homogenates. CONCLUSIONS Fish and water in the tank were contaminated by the novel NTM. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY These findings could help to elucidate infection routes and contamination sources of novel NTM from water sources.
