Abstract
Despite that surgical resection is widely regarded as the most effective approach to the treatment of liver cancer, its safety and efficacy upon centrally located hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unsatisfactory. In consequence, seeking an integrated treatment, like combined with adjuvant radiotherapy, to enhance the prognosis of patients is of critical importance. By recruiting patients undergoing surgical resection for centrally located HCC ranging from June 2015 to 2020, they were divided into liver resection combined with adjuvant radiotherapy (LR + RT) and mere liver resection (LR) groups. The calculation of propensity score and model of Cox proportional hazards regression were utilized. 193 patients were recruited in aggregation, containing 88 ones undergoing LR + RT, while 105 handled with LR. RT was verified to be an independent factor of prognosis for relapse (HR 0.60). In propensity-score analyses, significant association existed between adjuvant radiotherapy and better disease-free survival (DFS) (Matched, HR 0.60; Adjustment of propensity score, HR 0.60; Inverse probability weighting, HR 0.63). The difference of DFS was apparent within two groups (p value = 0.022), and RT significantly down-regulated early relapse (p value < 0.05) in subgroup analysis. The calculation of E-value revealed robustness of unmeasured confounding. The combination of liver surgical resection with RT is safe and effective towards patients with centrally located HCC, which would notably enhance the prognosis and decrease the early relapse of HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As an indicator of tumor invasiveness, microvascular invasion (MVI) is a crucial risk factor for postoperative relapse, metastasis, and unfavorable prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nevertheless, the genetic mechanisms underlying MVI, particularly for Chinese patients, remain mostly uncharted. METHODS We applied deep targeted sequencing on 66 Chinese HCC samples. Focusing on the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter (TERTp) and TP53 co-mutation (TERTp+/TP53+) group, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to explore the potential molecular mechanisms of the TERTp+/TP53+ group on tumor progression and metastasis. Additionally, we evaluated the tumor immune microenvironment of the TERTp+/TP53+ group in HCC using multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) staining. RESULTS Among the 66 HCC samples, the mutated genes that mostly appeared were TERT, TP53, and CTNNB1. Of note, we found 10 cases with TERTp+/TP53+, of which nine were MVI-positive and one was MVI-negative, and there was a co-occurrence of TERTp and TP53 (p < 0.05). Survival analysis demonstrated that patients with the TERTp+/TP53+ group had lower the disease-free survival (DFS) (p = 0.028). GSEA results indicated that telomere organization, telomere maintenance, DNA replication, positive regulation of cell cycle, and negative regulation of immune response were significantly enriched in the TERTp+/TP53+ group (all adjusted p-values (p.adj) < 0.05). mIF revealed that the TERTp+/TP53+ group decreased CD8+ T cells infiltration (p = 0.25) and enhanced PDL1 expression (p = 0.55). CONCLUSIONS TERTp+/TP53+ was significantly enriched in MVI-positive patients, leading to poor prognosis for HCC patients by promoting proliferation of HCC cell and inhibiting infiltration of immune cell surrounding HCC. TERTp+/TP53+ can be utilized as a potential indicator for predicting MVI-positive patients and poor prognosis, laying a preliminary foundation for further exploration of co-mutation in HCC with MVI and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Background & Aims This study aims to analyze the prognosis of null-margin (≤1.0 mm) hepatectomy (NH) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) adhering to the major vessels and explore the value of postoperative radiotherapy (RT) in these patients. Methods HCC patients who underwent null-margin or wide-margin (≥1.0 cm) hepatectomy (WH) by our team from January 2008 to March 2016 were recruited and analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into the NH, NH + RT, and WH groups. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance baseline characteristics. Results A total of 357 patients were recruited. Of these, 84, 49, and 224 patients were given NH alone, NH plus RT, and WH, respectively. After PSM, the 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates of the NH group were significantly worse than those of the WH group (51.5 % vs. 71.4 %, P = 0.003; 32.2 % vs. 50.9 %, P = 0.005). The OS and DFS rates of the NH + RT group were significantly higher than those of the NH group (75.6 % vs. 56.1 %, P = 0.012; 46.6 % vs. 30.2 %, P = 0.015) and similar to those of the WH group (75.6 % vs. 75.1 %, P = 0.354; 46.6 % vs. 56.6 %, P = 0.717). In addition, patients in the NH + RT group experienced significantly lower early (P = 0.023) and intrahepatic (P = 0.015) recurrences than those in the NH group. Conclusions Patients with HCC adhering to the major vessels who underwent NH alone had a poorer prognosis, and the addition of RT to NH provide a significant survival benefit for these patients, which may yield outcomes comparable to the efficacy of WH.

Abstract
Objective Centrally located hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) typically presents challenges in surgical intervention and is associated with a bleak prognosis. In order to address this pressing issue, it is imperative to identify a comprehensive treatment approach, such as neoadjuvant radiotherapy (neoRT), that can enhance the prognosis of patients diagnosed with centrally located HCC. Methods Patients who had surgical resections for HCC between March 2015 and December 2020 were included in the study. Patients were assigned to either the neoRT combined with liver resection (neoRT+LR) group or the liver resection alone (LR) group. The study employed propensity-score analysis and Cox proportional-hazards regression models as research methodologies. Using the Kaplan-Meier method, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were estimated in patients. Results During the study, 162 patients were enrolled, with 41 receiving neoRT+LR and 121 receiving LR. The duration of the median follow-up period was 45 months. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS rates were 95, 70, and 70% for patients in the neoRT+LR group, and 82, 64, and 54% for patients in the LR group, respectively. The 1-year, 3-year, 5-year DFS rates were 71, 53, and 37% for patients in the neoRT+LR group, and 52, 38, and 34% for patients in the LR group, respectively. A successful matching of 37 patients was achieved through propensity-score analysis. OS and DFS after matching analysis was statistically different between the two groups ( P=0.0099, P=0.034, respectively). neoRT was an independent prognostic factor for OS and DFS [hazard ratio (HR)=0.47, 95% CI: 0.24-0.93; HR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.34-0.92, respectively]. According to matching analysis, there were no statistically significant differences observed in terms of baseline characteristics, surgical safety, and complications between the groups. Conclusion Liver resection and neoRT can be advantageous for patients with centrally located HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the efficacy and safety of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) in the treatment of malignant tumours, such as breast cancer, have been documented, it remains unclear whether this treatment is effective for centrally located hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with microvascular invasion (MVI). AIMS This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of IORT in the treatment of centrally located HCC with MVI. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with centrally located HCC, who underwent surgery between January 2016 and January 2020, were enrolled. The patient cohort was then allocated to two groups: those who underwent IORT combined with liver resection (IORT+LR); or LR alone (LR). Propensity score matching and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate recurrence-free survival (RFS), and the log-rank test was used to determine whether RFS differed between the groups. Subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate differences in RFS and early recurrence rates in patients with different MVI grades. E-values were generated to measure the sensitivity to unmeasured confounding factors. In total, 97 patients were enrolled, 27 of whom underwent IORT+LR and 70 underwent LR alone. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year RFS rates in the IORT+LR group were 66%, 50%, and 32%, respectively, whereas those in the LR group were 54%, 37%, and 26%, respectively. After matching analysis, 23 patients were successfully matched, and RFS was found to be significantly different between the two groups (p = .04). IORT was an independent prognostic factor for RFS (hazard ratio 0.46 [95% confidence interval 0.21-0.99]). In subgroup analysis, RFS between the IORT+LR and LR groups was significantly different in patients with MVI (M1 grade) (p = .0067). The postoperative early recurrence rate was significantly reduced with IORT (p < .05). No serious complications were reported in either group following surgery. Based on E-values, the results appeared to be robust against unmeasured confounding factors. CONCLUSION IORT+LR provided safe, feasible treatment for patients with centrally located HCC with MVI, along with an improvement in prognosis and lower early recurrence rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microvascular invasion (MVI) is the main factor affecting the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to identify accurate diagnostic biomarkers from urinary protein signatures for preoperative prediction. METHODS We conducted label-free quantitative proteomic studies on urine samples of 91 HCC patients and 22 healthy controls. We identified candidate biomarkers capable of predicting MVI status and combined them with patient clinical information to perform a preoperative nomogram for predicting MVI status in the training cohort. Then, the nomogram was validated in the testing cohort (n = 23). Expression levels of biomarkers were further confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in an independent validation HCC cohort (n = 57). RESULTS Urinary proteomic features of healthy controls are mainly characterized by active metabolic processes. Cell adhesion and cell proliferation-related pathways were highly defined in the HCC group, such as extracellular matrix organization, cell-cell adhesion, and cell-cell junction organization, which confirms the malignant phenotype of HCC patients. Based on the expression levels of four proteins: CETP, HGFL, L1CAM, and LAIR2, combined with tumor diameter, serum AFP, and GGT concentrations to establish a preoperative MVI status prediction model for HCC patients. The nomogram achieved good concordance indexes of 0.809 and 0.783 in predicting MVI in the training and testing cohorts. CONCLUSIONS The four-protein-related nomogram in urine samples is a promising preoperative prediction model for the MVI status of HCC patients. Using the model, the risk for an individual patient to harbor MVI can be determined.

Abstract
As sorafenib is a first-line drug for treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, sorafenib resistance has historically attracted attention. However, most of this attention has been focused on a series of mechanisms related to drug resistance arising after sorafenib treatment. In this study, we used proteomic techniques to explore the potential mechanisms by which pretreatment factors affect sorafenib resistance. The degree of redundant pathway PI3K/AKT activation, biotransformation capacity, and autophagy level in hepatocellular carcinoma patients prior to sorafenib treatment might affect their sensitivity to sorafenib, in which ADH1A and STING1 are key molecules. These three factors could interact mechanistically to promote tumor cell survival, might be malignant features of tumor cells, and are associated with hepatocellular carcinoma prognosis. Our study suggests possible avenues of therapeutic intervention for patients with sorafenib-resistance and the potential application of immunotherapy with the aim of improving the survival of such patients.

Abstract
Objective Although surgical resection is one of the most effective way to treat liver cancer, its efficacy and safety in treatment of centrally located hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. Therefore, it is very important to find a comprehensive treatment mode, such as radical resection combined with neoadjuvant radiotherapy (neoRT). Methods The centrally located HCC patients who underwent radical resection from July 2015 to April 2021 were enrolled. According to whether the neoRT was implemented or not, these patients were allocated into neoadjuvant radiotherapy combined with liver resection (neoRT+LR) and liver resection alone (LR) group. The research method used propensity-score analysis and Cox proportional-hazards regression models. We generated an E-value to assess the sensitivity to unmeasured confounding. This study is a real-world, retrospective study based on phase II clinical trial. Results A total of 168 patients were enrolled, including 38 patients treating with neoRT+LR and 130 patients with LR. The 1-, 3-, 5-year disease free survival (DFS) rates were 74%, 55% and 39% in the neoRT+LR group, and 44%, 28%, and 24% in the LR group, respectively. Neoadjuvant radiotherapy was an independent prognostic factor for postoperative recurrence ([HR]0.42, 95% CI [0.25, 0.69]). There was significant association between neoRT+LR and longer disease-free survival (Match, [HR] 0.43, 95% CI [0.24, 0.76]; GenMatch, [HR] 0.32, 95% CI [0.23, 0.43]; Adjusted for propensity score, [HR] 0.41, 95% CI [0.23, 0.73]; Inverse probability weighting, [HR] 0.38, 95% CI [0.22, 0.65], respectively). DFS before and after matching analysis was statistically different in two groups (p-value=0.005, p-value=0.0024, respectively). Neoadjuvant radiotherapy can significantly reduce the postoperative early recurrence (p-value <0.05). E-value analysis suggested robustness to unmeasured confounding. Conclusion Liver resection combined with neoadjuvant radiotherapy was effective and safe for treatment of centrally located HCC patients, which improved the prognosis of patients and reduced the incidence of early recurrence.

Abstract
Importance Centrally located hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a special type of HCC whose outcome is unsatisfactory when treated with surgery alone. No standard adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment for this disease has been established that improves clinical outcomes. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of adding neoadjuvant intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) before surgery in patients with centrally located HCC. Design, Setting, and Participants This phase 2, single-center, single-group prospective nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted between December 16, 2014, and January 29, 2019, at the Cancer Institute and Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing, China. The last follow-up was on July 30, 2021. Patients with centrally located HCC who underwent neoadjuvant IMRT and surgery were included in the analysis. Interventions Neoadjuvant IMRT followed by hepatectomy. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was 5-year overall survival (OS). The secondary end points were tumor response to IMRT, 5-year disease-free survival (DFS), and treatment-related adverse events. Results Thirty-eight patients (mean [SD] age, 55.6 [9.3] years; 35 male [92.1%] individuals) completed the prescribed neoadjuvant IMRT without interruption. Radiographic tumor response to IMRT before surgery included partial response (16 [42.1%]) and stable disease (22 [57.9%]). Thirteen patients (34.2%) achieved major pathological response, of which 5 (13.2%) achieved pathologic complete response. With a median follow-up of 45.8 months, the median OS was not reached, and the OS rates were 94.6% at 1 year, 75.4% at 3 years, and 69.1% at 5 years. The median DFS was 45.8 months, and DFS rates were 70.3% at 1 year, 54.1% at 3 years, and 41.0% at 5 years. Radiotherapy-related grade 3 adverse events were observed in 3 patients (7.9%). Nineteen operative complications developed in 13 patients (34.2%), including grade I to II complications in 12 patients (31.6%) and grade IIIa complication in 1 patient (2.6%). No grade IIIb or higher operative complications were observed. Conclusions and Relevance Results of this trial suggest that neoadjuvant IMRT plus surgery is effective and well-tolerated in patients with centrally located HCC. These data may inform a future randomized clinical trial of this new treatment strategy. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02580929.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver cancer as the main leading cancer has caused heavy burdens globally. The prognosis of liver cancer is closely related with postoperative nutrition support. Corn oligopeptides (COPs) are protein hydrolysates produced by enzymatic treatments, which have shown potential bioactivities, such as inhibiting angiotensin I-converting enzyme, resisting lipid peroxidation and anti-oxidant. However, the correlation between COPs and liver cancer patients is still unknown and the potential mechanism of COPs on liver cancer is unclear as well. The aim of this study was to assess effects of 7-day intervention of COPs after surgery on liver function and serum metabolic profiles of liver cancer patients. METHODS Patients were assigned into COPs intervention group (n=50) and control group (n=91) for 7 days. Investigations were scheduled at 1st day and 7th day after liver resection surgery respectively, mainly including anthropometric, biochemical indexes and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis. RESULTS Seven-day supplementation of COPs on early post-surgery liver cancer patients down-regulated levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and up-regulated prothrombin time activity and prealbumin levels. LC/MS analysis revealed metabolic signatures including regulation of 16 metabolites, which was closely related with two metabolic pathways (nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, fatty acid metabolism). CONCLUSIONS COPs supplementation has displayed the potentials on alleviating the injury of liver function and it may be due to regulation of fatty acid metabolism, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, lipid peroxidation and anti-inflammatory action. More researches are warranted in future to confirm the exact mechanisms.

Abstract
e16162 Background: Partial hepatectomy is potentially curative treatment in selected patients (pts) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Microvascular invasion (MVI) is one of the strongest predictors of prognosis and recurrence of HCC. In this study, we analyzed the gene mutation signature and immune factors associated with MVI, and the prognostic value. Methods: Pts who were diagnosed with HCC between Jan 2018 and Sep 2020 in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on tumor tissues after radical partial hepatectomy. The different immune makers (PD1, PD-L1, CD3, CD8, CD68, and CD163) of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were identified with immunofluorescence-based microenvironment analysis panel (MAP). Results: In the MVI+ group (n = 39, 59.1 %), there were significantly more pts with larger tumor size, and capsules invasion by tumors. The mutation spectra revealed that 61 (92.4%) pts harbored somatic mutations and the most frequently mutated gene was telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), which was present in 31.8% (n = 20) HCC pts. Mutations in the promoter of TERT were found in 95.2% (20/21) pts. 90.0% (18/20) had one hotspot point mutation located 124bp upstream of the translation start site. The mutation frequency in the TERT promoter was significantly higher in the MVI+ group compared with the MVI- group (41.0% vs. 14.8%, p < 0.05). Pts with TERT promoter mutations tend to be MVI+ rather than MVI- and more HCC driver mutations were detected in MVI+ pts with TERT promoter mutations (p < 0.05). Based on MAP, we found MVI+ pts had significantly lower CD3+ TILs (p < 0.05). The multivariable analysis indicated that pts with copy number variations (CNV, hazard ratios [HR] 2.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-6.40; p = 0.028), elevated PT/INR (HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.11-0.77; p = 0.008), and lower serum prealbumin concentration (PALB, HR 3.03, 95% CI 1.08-8.51; p = 0.027) had significantly shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS) after surgery. Similar findings were also observed for immune factors within cancer parenchyma, including CD68+ (HR 7.14, 95% CI 0.95-53.55; p = 0.025), CD163+ (HR 3.07, 95% CI 1.10-8.53; p = 0.023), CD68+/CD163- (HR 11.35, 95% CI 1.51-85.05; p = 0.003), CD68+/CD163+ (HR 3.51, 95% CI 1.4-8.79; p = 0.004), which indicated tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) infiltration was independent risk factor for RFS. Conclusions: In this study, we characterized the molecular and immune landscape of MVI in HCC patients. MVI presence highly correlated with adverse biological markers, mutations in the promoter of TERT, and higher CD3+ TILs. Some risk factors of HCC recurrence were identified, including CNV, PT/INR, CA 19-9, PALB, and TAM. Transcriptional alterations and immune tumor microenvironment change may contribute to MVI in HCC.

Abstract
DNA methylation on N6-adenine (6mA) has recently been found to be a potential epigenetic marker in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. However, its distribution patterns and potential functions in human tumorigenesis remain largely unknown. Here, we reported global profiling of 6mA sites in the genome of hepatocellular carcinoma at single-nucleotide resolution using Nanopore sequencing. 6mA was widely distributed throughout the human genome. The 6mA sites were related to the porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism in autosomes and were related to oxidative phosphorylation and ATP metabolism in mitochondria. AGG was the most significant motif associated with 6mA modification and the prevalent motifs in tumors were mainly distributed in mitochondria. The density of 6mA was related to the activation of gene transcription and 6mA density in repetitive sequences decreased in hepatocellular carcinoma. DNA 6mA methylation modification may also be a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
DNA methylation is a widespread epigenetic signal in human genome. With Nanopore technology, differential methylation modifications including 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 6-methyladenine (6mA) can be identified. 5mC is the most important modification in mammals, although 6mA may also function in growth and development as well as in pathogenesis. While the role of 5mC at CpG islands in promoter regions associated with transcriptional regulation has been well studied, but the relationship between 6mA and transcription is still unclear. Thus, we collected two pairs of tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surgical samples for Nanopore sequencing and transcriptome sequencing. It was found that 2,373 genes had both 5mC and 6mA, along with up- and down-regulated methylation sites. These genes were regarded as unstable methylation genes. Compared with 6mA, 5mC had more inclined distribution of unstable methylation sites. Chi-square test showed that the levels of 5mC were consistent with both up- and down-regulated genes, but 6mA was not significant. Moreover, the top three unstable methylation genes, TBC1D3H, CSMD1, and ROBO2, were all related to cancer. Transcriptome and survival analyses revealed four potential tumor suppressor genes including KCNIP4, CACNA1C, PACRG, and ST6GALNAC3. In this study, we firstly proposed to combine 5mC and 6mA methylation sites to explore functional genes, and further research found top of these unstable methylation genes might be functional and some of them could serve as potential tumor suppressor genes. Our study provided a new solution for epigenetic regulation research and therapy of HCC.

Abstract
The integration of HBV DNA into the human genome can disrupt its structure in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the complexity of HBV genomic integration remains elusive. Here we applied long-read sequencing to precisely elucidate the HBV integration pattern in the human hepatocellular genome. The DNA library was sequenced using the long-read sequencing on GridION and PacBio Sequel II, respectively. The DNA and mRNA were sequenced using next-generation sequencing on Illumina NextSeq. BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) and local scripts were used to analyze HBV integration patterns. We established an analytical strategy based on the long-read sequences, and analyzed the complexity of HBV DNA integration into the hepatocellular genome. A total of 88 integrated breakpoints were identified. HBV DNA integration into human genomic DNA was mainly fragmented with different orientations, rarely with a complete genome. The same HBV integration breakpoints were identified among the three platforms. Most breakpoints were observed at P, X, and S genes in the HBV genome, and observed at introns, intergenic sequences, and exons in the human genome. Tumor tissue harbored a much higher integrated number than the adjacent tissue, and the distribution of HBV integrated into human chromosomes was more concentrated. HBV integration shows different patterns between cancer cells and adjacent normal cells. We for the first time obtained the entire HBV integration pattern through long-read sequencing and demonstrated the value of long-read sequencing in detecting the genomic integration structures of viruses in host cells.

Abstract
Embryonic development and tumorigenesis have a certain degree of similarity. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a protein related to embryonic development, is a well-known biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we analyzed the differences in gene expression profiles and molecular mechanisms in human HCC tissues from patients in AFPhigh (serum AFP level ≥ 25 ng/mL) and AFPlow (serum AFP level < 25 ng/mL) groups. The results indicated that AFPhigh HCC has more malignant biological characteristics. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) showed significantly higher levels of genes expressed in dendritic cells, neutrophils, and natural killer cells in the AFPlow group than in the AFPhigh group. Then, we defined a rhesus monkey fetal liver developmental landscape and compared it to the HCC gene expression profile. The gene signatures of AFPhigh HCC tissues were similar to those of early embryonic liver tissues. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the rhesus monkey liver transcriptome during development and human primary HCC AFP-related gene expression profiles and clarified the function of AFP in the occurrence and development of HCC from the perspective of developmental biology, which might provide a new perspective on the pathogenesis of HCC.

Abstract
Backgrounds This is the first study to build and evaluate a predictive model for early relapse after R0 resection in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with microvascular invasion (MVI). Methods The consecutive HCC patients with MVI who underwent hepatectomy in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Science from Jan 2014 to June 2019 were retrospectively enrolled and randomly allocated into a derivation (N = 286) and validation cohort (N = 120) in a ratio of 7:3. Cox regression and Logistic regression analyses were performed and a predictive model for postoperative early-relapse were developed. Results A total of 406 HCC patients with MVI were included in our work. Preoperative blood alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) status, MVI classification, largest tumor diameter, the status of serosal invasion, number of tumors, and the status of satellite nodules were incorporated to construct a model. The concordance index (C-index) was 0.737 and 0.736 in the derivation and validation cohort, respectively. The calibration curves showed a good agreement between actual observation and nomogram prediction. The C-index of the nomogram was obviously higher than those of the two traditional HCC staging systems. Conclusion We have developed and validated a prediction model for postoperative early-relapse in HCC patient with MVI after R0 resection.

Abstract
Objective The present study aimed to identify the risk factors for early postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with microvascular invasion (MVI) and develop a predictive model. Inclusion Population and Methods Patients who underwent surgery for HCC with pathological identification of MVI at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2014 to June 2019 were consecutively enrolled in this study. A total of 416 patients were included, divided into an early recurrence group (N = 169) and a non-early recurrence group (N = 247), taking 12 months as the cut-off point for early recurrence. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis was adopted to screen for risk factors for recurrence, and independence of risk factors was determined by logistic regression analysis. All variables were included in the logistic regression analysis. As previous studies have shown that tumor diameter is a risk factor for recurrence, this was also included in the analyses. A predictive model for early recurrence was established and evaluated. Results The results indicate that MVI grouping, preoperative serum AFP, number of tumors, satellite nodules, hepatic capsule invasion, tumor diameter, and lymph node metastasis are independent risk factors for early postoperative recurrence. The above factors were adopted to develop a predictive model. The model had good discrimination and calibration in predicting early postoperative recurrence. Decision curve analysis demonstrated good clinical utility. Conclusion MVI grouping, preoperative serum AFP, number of tumors, satellite nodules, hepatic capsule invasion, tumor diameter, and lymph node metastasis were shown to be independent risk factors for early postoperative recurrence. The predictive model developed by applying the above risk factors had good predictive value in patients with early postoperative recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which antidiuretic hormone (ADH) inhibited osteogenesis in dental follicle stem cells. DESIGN Rat dental follicle stem cells were cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium supplemented with ADH. Alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity, Alizarin Red S staining, MTT assay and RT-qPCR was used to examine ADH's impact on cell mineralization, viability, and osteogenic gene expression. Real-time calcium imaging analysis was performed to identify the ADH receptor and its mechanism of action. RESULTS ADH supplementation to the osteogenic differentiation medium inhibited cell mineralization without compromising cell viability and downregulated the expression of key osteogenic genes: DCN (Decorin), RUNX2 (Runt-related transcription factor 2) and BSP (Bone sialoprotein). Real-time calcium imaging analysis revealed that ADH (1-1000 nM) increased intracellular calcium in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment of cells with V2255, a V1a receptor blocker, inhibited the calcium signals, but not with the V1b (Nelivaptan) or V2 (Tolvaptan). V2255 also reversed the inhibitory effect of ADH on osteogenesis. Furthermore, U73122, a Phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, 2-APB, an Inositol Triphosphate (IP3) receptor blocker, and depletion of endoplasmic reticulum calcium stores abolished the calcium signals by ADH. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that ADH activates V1a receptors and the PLC-IP3 pathway to stimulate intracellular calcium signals, which inhibits cell mineralization and osteogenic gene expression. These findings uncovered a novel function for ADH as a negative regulator of osteogenesis in dental follicle stem cells. The role of ADH in the pathogenesis of bone diseases remains to be determined.

Abstract
e16195 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy has emerged as a breakthrough therapy in the treatment of various cancer. However, programmed cell death (PD-1) inhibitors alone as secondary line treatment yield uncertain response in liver cancer in different studies. Despite encouraging preclinical findings that radiation primes the immune system and produces a synergistic anti-tumor immunity for durable disease control, few clinical data is published so far. To investigate the efficacy and safety of the combination of radiation and PD-1 inhibitors in metastatic and recurrent liver cancer, we proposed this study. Methods: Patients diagnosed with stage IV (American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging System 8th) or recurrent liver cancer, received radiotherapy followed by PD-1 inhibitors or concurrent radiation and PD-1 inhibitors were enrolled. Data regarding clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment protocols, response rates, toxicities, and survival were collected. Survivals were calculated from the date of the first delivery of immunotherapy using Kaplan-Meier method. Results: From April 2017 to December 2020, 34 patients were eligible. Twenty-nine (85.3%) patients were male and 5(14.7%) were female. The median age was 58 years old. Twenty-three patients (67.6%) had hepatocellular carcinoma. Totally, radiotherapy was delivered to 92 lesions (28 liver, 28 venous tumor emboli, 13 lymph nodes, 18 bone, 5 others) of these patients. The radiation dose ranged from 40Gy to 60Gy (2-5Gy per fraction). Sixteen patients, 15 patients, 5 patients, 1 patient and 1 patient received toripalimab, sintilimab, camrelizumab, nivolumab and pembrolizumab, respectively (Four patients received multiple- drugs in different time ). PD-1 inhibitors were administered very 3 weeks until progression or limiting toxicities. After treatment, 3,18 and 11 patients achieved complete response, partial response and stable disease. The response rate and disease control rate were 61.8% and 94.1%, respectively. Grade 3 adverse events were observed in 11 patients (32.4%), including 6 patients with thrombocytopenia (2 with grade 4, 4 with grade 3), 2 patients with gastrointestinal events and 3 with others. No grade 5 adverse event was recorded. The median follow up time was 16.5 months. The median overall survival (OS) time and progression free survival (PFS) time were 15.4 months and 11.3 months. One-year OS and PFS were 62.9% and 46.5%, respectively. Two-year OS and PFS were 31.8% and 11.3%, respectively. Conclusions: The combination of immunotherapy and radiotherapy was safe and tolerable. The application of radiation before or during PD-1 inhibitors delivery fostered the immune response and enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy with prolonged PFS and OS in recurrent and metastatic liver cancer. A phase II prospective trial is ongoing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of lymph node (LN) metastases is associated with poor survival outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Because of the low probability of LN metastasis, research into the prognoses of these patients is difficult. The present study developed a nomogram model to predict the prognosis of HCC patients with LN metastasis. METHODS This retrospective, noninterventional study enrolled patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2010 to 2015. The following inclusion criteria were used: (I) site recode ICD-O-3 (International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition) of 8170-8175 and malignant histological behavior; (II) seventh edition American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage N1; (III) older than 18 years; and (IV) available information. Potential prognostic factors were collected from the SEER database; the primary outcomes of interest were overall survival (OS) and disease status. Cox and Lasso regression were used to investigate independent prognostic factors for survival. A prognostic nomogram using these independent risk factors was constructed. The concordance index (C-index) and calibration curves were used to evaluate the model's predictive performance. The clinical benefit was assessed via decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Patients were randomized into a training group (944 patients) and a validation group (402 patients) in a 70:30 ratio. Grade, T stage, liver surgery, chemotherapy, radiation recode, alpha-fetoprotein level, fibrosis score, tumor size group, and M stage were selected as independent prognostic factors, and a nomogram was developed using these variables. The C-indices of the training and validation groups were 0.70 and 0.73, respectively. Calibration curves for the probability of survival showed good agreement. DCA indicated that the nomogram had positive net benefits. CONCLUSIONS The constructed nomogram may assist clinicians in predicting the prognosis of HCC patients with LN metastasis and may provide a rationale for treatment options.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the influence of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-29 on neuronal apoptosis in rats with cerebral infarction by regulating the protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 36 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups, including: Sham group (n=12), Model group (n=12), and Inhibitor group (n=12). Common carotid artery, external carotid artery, and internal carotid artery were only exposed in the Sham group. However, the ischemia-reperfusion model was established by the suture method in the other two groups. After modeling, artificial cerebrospinal fluid was injected into the lateral ventricle in the rats of the Sham and Model groups. Similarly, miR-29 inhibitor was injected into the lateral ventricle in the rats of the Inhibitor group. At 24 h postoperatively, the sampling was performed. Zea-Longa score was used to evaluate the neurological deficit of rats. Meanwhile, the expressions of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) in cerebral tissues were detected via immunohistochemistry. The protein expression levels of Akt and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) were determined using Western blotting. Furthermore, the expression of miR-29 and cell apoptosis were detected via quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay, respectively. RESULTS Compared with Sham group, Model, and Inhibitor groups had substantially raised the Zea-Longa scores (p<0.05). The Zea-Longa score in the Model group was markedly lower than that of the Inhibitor group (p<0.05). The positive expression level of Bax was remarkably upregulated (p<0.05). However, the positive expression level of Bcl-2 declined dramatically in both Model group and Inhibitor group when compared with the Sham group (p<0.05). Besides, the Model group exhibited significantly lower positive expression level of Bax and higher positive expression level of Bcl-2 than the Inhibitor group (p<0.05). The relative protein expression level of p-Akt markedly increased in the Model and Inhibitor groups when compared with the Sham group (p<0.05). However, it was considerably higher in the Model group than that of the Inhibitor group (p<0.05). In comparison with the Sham group, both Model group and Inhibitor group exerted substantially elevated expression level of miR-29 (p<0.05). The relative expression level of miR-29 in the Model group was significantly upregulated when compared with the Inhibitor group (p<0.05). The apoptosis rate of cells in both Model group and Inhibitor group was markedly higher than that of the Sham group (p<0.05). Furthermore, the Model group showed remarkably lower apoptosis rate than the Inhibitor group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS MiR-29 inhibits neuronal apoptosis in cerebral infarction rats by upregulating the Akt signaling pathway, thereby serving as a protector.

Abstract
Our study is to investigate the preoperative prognostic value of the Controlling Nutritional Status score in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients after curative resection. One hundred and sixty-seven patients admitted to our hospital between January 2012 and December 2018 were included retrospectively. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the ability of the Controlling Nutritional Status score to predict recurrence and survival. Patients with high Controlling Nutritional Status score (≥3) had significantly poorer RFS compared to those with low Controlling Nutritional Status score (low: <3) (p = 0.000) in Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Multivariate analyses identified Controlling Nutritional Status score, lymph node metastasis, tumor numbers and preoperative CEA as independent prognostic factors for RFS. Lymph node metastasis was the independent risk factor of OS. The Cox regression model with Controlling Nutritional Status score had better prognostic value for recurrence than the Cox regression model without Controlling Nutritional Status score in long-time alcohol consumption intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients (AUC: 0.760 vs 0.706, p = 0.036). CONUT score may be a more powerful prognostic biomarker, which is tightly associated with other tumor characteristics, to predict recurrence but not survival, especially in long-time alcohol consumption intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients after curative-intent surgery.

Abstract
Background Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is a rare distinctive variant of liver cancer with unique epidemiological and pathological characteristics, characterized by dense lymphocyte infiltration. It can be divided into lymphoepithelioma-like hepatocellular carcinoma and lymphoepithelioma-like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Existing research shows that the prognosis of this tumor is good. To date, only 101 cases have been reported. Case presentation The first patient was a 62-year-old Chinese man with hepatitis B virus infection who presented with a single lesion in the liver. The patient underwent surgical treatment and was discharged on the 4th day. The patient was diagnosed with combined lymphoepithelioma-like hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma; he has been alive for 15 months. The second patient was a 63-year-old Chinese woman with right upper abdominal pain and hepatitis B virus infection. The imaging examination revealed a single lesion in the liver. The patient underwent surgical treatment and was discharged 1 week later. The patient was diagnosed with lymphoepithelioma-like hepatocellular carcinoma and was considered to have recurrence in the lymph nodes approximately 2 years after the operation. The patient underwent local radiotherapy; she has been alive for 60 months. The third patient was a 50-year-old Chinese man with hepatitis B virus infection who presented with a single lesion in the liver and two enlarged lymph nodes. The patient received liver puncture before surgery to indicate lymph node metastasis and experienced local recurrence after liver resection. The patient underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient was diagnosed with lymphoepithelioma-like hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient was deceased at 24-month follow-up. Conclusions This article reports 3 cases without Epstein-Barr virus and reviews the current literature, which suggests even mixed pathological type or locally advanced cases of LELC with lymph node metastasis and postoperative recurrence should be actively treated for a longer survival period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microvascular invasion (MVI) is considered to be one of the important prognostic factors that affect postoperative recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with variable results across their treatment options. This study was carried out to investigate efficacy of postoperative adjuvant RT in HCC patients with MVI. METHODS This was single center, prospective study carried out in HCC patients with MVI, aged 35-72 years. All patients were non-randomly allocated to receive standard postoperative treatment of HBV/HCV and nutritional therapy or RT in addition to standard postoperative treatment (1:1). The primary endpoints assessed were relapse-free survival and overall survival. The prognostic factors associated with survival outcomes were also analyzed. The safety events were graded according to NCI-CTCAE v4.03 criteria. RESULTS Of the 115 patients eligible for study, 59 patients were included in analysis. Univariate analysis revealed that MVI classification (P = 0.009), post-operative treatment strategies (P = 0.009) were prognostic factors for worst RFS; tumor size (P = 0.011), MVI classification (P = 0.005) and post-operative treatment (P = 0.015) were associated for OS. The 1-, 2-, 3-year RFS rates were 86.2, 70.5 and 63.4% for patients in RT group, and 46.4, 36.1, and 36.1% in control group. For OS, corresponding rates were 96.6, 80.7, and 80.7% for patients in RT group and 79.7, 58.3, and 50.0% in control group. Subgroup classification of HCC patients according to low risk MVI showed significantly longer RFS (P = 0.035) and OS (P = 0.004) in RT group than control group, while for high risk MVI, RT depicted longer OS than control group with no significance (P = 0.106). Toxicities were usually observed in acute stage with no grade 4 toxicities. CONCLUSION Postoperative adjuvant RT following hepatectomy offers better RFS for HCC patients with MVI than with standard postoperative therapy. Also, it will be useful to control microscopic lesions in both M1 (low risk) and M2 (high risk) subgroups of HCC patients with MVI. TRIAL REGISTRATION Trial Registration number: ChiCTR1800017371 .

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme after curative liver resection in cirrhotic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Methods One hundred sixty-two patients were enrolled in the study; 80 patients whose data were collected prospectively were assigned to the ERAS group, and 82 patients whose data were collected retrospectively were assigned to the control group. Preoperative clinicopathologic factors, surgical factors, and postoperative outcomes of the 2 groups were compared. Logistic regression was applied to explore potential predictors of hospital stay and morbidity. Results The postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complication rate, and recovery of liver function on postoperative day 5 seemed to be better in the ERAS group. The composition of complications was different in the 2 groups; pleural effusion and postoperative ascites were more common in the control group, and indocyanine green retention at 15 minutes, operation time, preoperative alanine aminotransferase, and number of liver segmentectomies were associated with postoperative complications rather than ERAS intervention. Conclusion The ERAS programme is safe and effective for HCC patients with chronic liver disease undergoing hepatectomy, but it seems that surgical factors, such as operation type, have a greater impact on morbidity than other factors. Operative characteristics such as the method of blood loss control and the volume of liver resection should be augmented into ERAS protocol of hepatectomy.

Abstract
Objective A prospective randomized control study investigated the feasibility and efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy on patients with central hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after narrow-margin hepatectomy (<1 cm). This study presents an updated 10-year real-world evidence to further characterize the role of adjuvant radiotherapy. Methods Patients with central HCC after narrow-margin hepatectomy (<1 cm) were prospectively assigned to adjuvant radiotherapy group and control group. Patients' outcome, adverse events, long-term recurrence and survival rates were investigated. Results The 1-, 5-, and 10-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were 81.0%, 43.9%, and 38.7%, respectively in adjuvant radiotherapy group and 71.7%, 35.8%, and 24.2%, respectively in control group (log-rank test, P=0.09). The 1-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates were 96.6%, 54.7%, and 42.8%, respectively in adjuvant radiotherapy group and 90.2%, 55.1%, and 30.0%, respectively in control group (log-rank test, P=0.20). The 1-, 5-, and 10-year RFS rates for patients with small HCC (≤5 cm) were 91.1%, 51.6%, and 48.4%, respectively in adjuvant radiotherapy group and 80.0%, 36.6%, and 26.6%, respectively in control group (log-rank test, P=0.03). Landmark analysis demonstrated that patients with small HCC in adjuvant radiotherapy group had a significantly improved OS in second five years after treatment in comparison to patients in control group (log-rank test, P=0.05). Conclusions Our updated results showed a sustained clinical benefit on reducing recurrence, improving long-term survival for small central HCC by adjuvant radiotherapy after narrow-margin hepatectomy. Long-term survival data also indicated that hepatectomy is an optimal treatment for selected patients with central HCC.

Abstract
Background Although surgical resection provides a cure for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), the risk of mortality and recurrence remains high. Several biomarkers are reported to be associated with the prognosis of ICC, including Beclin-1, ARID1A, carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9) and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), but results are inconsistent. Therefore, a histopathological retrospective study was performed to simultaneously investigate the relationship of these four potential biomarkers with clinicopathological parameters and their prognostic values in patients with ICC. Methods A total of 113 patients with ICC were enrolled from Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between January 1999 and June 2015. The expression of Beclin-1, ARID1A, IDH1 and CA9 were determined by immunohistochemical staining. The prognostic values of the four biomarkers were analyzed by Cox regression and the Kaplan-Meier method. Results Beclin-1, ARID1A, CA9 and IDH1 were highly expressed in ICC tumor tissues. Higher mortality was positively associated with Beclin-1 expression (HR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.09–5.24) and higher recurrence was positively associated with ARID1A expression (HR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.06–2.78). Neither CA9 nor IDH1 expression was significantly associated with mortality or disease recurrence. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that ICC patients with higher Beclin-1 and ARID1A expression had a lower survival rate and a worse recurrence rate than patients with low Beclin-1 and ARID1A expression (p < 0.05). Conclusions High Beclin-1 and ARIDIA expression are strongly associated with poor prognosis in ICC patients, and thus Beclin-1 and ARID1A should be simultaneously considered as potential prognostic biomarkers for ICC patients.

Abstract
Background Microvascular invasion (MVI) is the most important risk factor associated with early postoperative recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant treatment for preventing recurrence in HCC patients with MVI has not been assessed. This study investigated the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in HCC patients with MVI. Materials and methods From July 2008 to December 2016, 117 hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC patients with MVI were retrospectively divided into two groups based on postoperative adjuvant treatments. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to adjust for significant differences in baseline characteristics. Relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) of the two groups were analyzed before and after PSM. Results Of all patients, the RT group had significantly smaller tumor size and milder MVI classification. PSM analysis created 46 pairs of patients. After matching, the two groups of patients were similar in baseline characteristics. Multivariate analysis indicated that tumor size, MVI classification, and postoperative treatment strategies were independently associated with RFS; tumor size and MVI classification were independently associated with OS. Similar multivariate analysis results were demonstrated after matching propensity score. Survival analysis revealed that the estimated median RFS and OS of patients with RT and TACE were 25.74±8.12 vs 9.18±1.67 months (P=0.003) and 60.69±7.36 vs 36.53±5.34 months (P=0.262), respectively. The RT group had significantly longer RFS than the TACE group. Conclusion Postoperative adjuvant RT offers better RFS for HCC patients with MVI than TACE.

Abstract
Objective Hand-assisted laparoscopic liver resection has the advantages of open and laparoscopic surgeries. There is still lack of comparison of surgical outcomes between hand-assistied laparoscopic liver resection (HALLR) and open liver resection (OLR). This study compared the surgical outcomes of the two approaches between well-matched patient cohorts. Methods Patients who received liver resection during January 2014 and October 2017 in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College were included in this retrospective study. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to reduce selection bias between the two groups. Operation and short-term surgical outcomes were compared between the well matched groups. Results During this period, 232 patients with a median age of 55.1 years old received OLR, while 49 patients with a median age of 54.7 years old received HALLR. Compared with HALLR group, OLR group has a higher proportion in male patients (190/232, 81.9% vs. 34/49, 69.4%, P=0.048) and lower albumin (43.2±4.5 vs. 44.8±3.7, P=0.020). After PSM, 49 patients from each group were included in the following analysis. Two groups were well balanced in their baseline characteristics, liver functions, preoperative treatments, abdominal surgery history, and surgical difficulty. None perioperative mortality was observed in both groups. Operation time and postoperative complications were similar in two groups (P=0.935, P=0.056). The HALLR group showed less bleeding amount (177.8±217.1 mL vs. 283.1±225.0 mL, P=0.003) and shorter postoperative stay period (6.9±2.2 d vs. 9.0±3.5 d, P=0.001).
Conclusions We demonstrated that hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery is feasible and safe for liver resection, including some difficult cases. HALLR can provide better bleeding control and faster recovery after surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To determine whether suction drainage is safe and effective compared with no-drainage in total hip arthroplasty. Methods: The research was based on PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Highwire, the Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WFSD.The data were analysed using RevMan 5.2.Twenty-seven randomised controlled trials involving 3 603 hips were included in the analysis. Results: The meta-analysis indicate that suction drainage increases the rate of homologous blood transfusion (OR=1.98, 95%CI: 1.49-2.64, P<0.000 01)and the length of stay (OR=0.66, 95%CI: -0.01-1.33, P=0.05) (P<0.05). No significant difference was observed in the incidence of infection(OR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.52-1.22, P=0.30), wound haematomas(OR=0.47, 95%CI: 0.21-1.10, P=0.08), oozing (OR=0.93, 95%CI: 0.63-1.36, P=0.71) , deep venous thrombosis(OR=2.12, 95%CI: 0.68-6.56, P=0.19), VAS(OR=-0.06, 95%CI: -0.37-0.24, P=0.68) when the drainage group was compared with the no-drainage group. Conclusions: The comparison between suction drainage and no drainage in THA have indicated that no-drainage for easy total hip arthroplasty may be a better choice. However, orthopedic surgeon need to weigh the pros and cons of no-drainage in some complicated THAs.

Abstract
Intratumoral heterogeneity has been revealed in primary liver carcinoma (PLC). However, spatial heterogeneity of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), which reflects one dimension of a tumor's spatial heterogeneity, and the relationship between TIL diversity, local immune response and mutation burden remain unexplored in PLC. Therefore, we performed immune repertoire sequencing, gene expression profiling analysis and whole-exome sequencing in parallel on five regions of each tumor and on matched adjacent normal tissues and peripheral blood from five PLC patients. A significantly higher cumulative frequency of the top 250 most abundant TIL clones was observed in tumors than in peripheral blood. Besides, overlap rates of T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire for intratumor comparisons, significant higher than those for tumor-adjacent normal tissue comparisons and tumor-blood comparisons, which provide evidence for antigen-driven clonal expansion in PLC. Analysis of the percentage of ubiquitous TCR sequences, regional frequencies of each clone and TIL diversity suggested TIL clones varying between distinct regions of the same tumor, which indicated weak TCR repertoire similarity within a single tumor. Furthermore, correlation analysis revealed that TIL diversity significantly correlated with the expression of immune response genes rather than the mutation load. We conclude that intratumoural T-cell clones are spatially heterogeneous, which can lead to underestimate the immune profile of PLC from a single biopsy sample and may present challenge to adoptive cell therapy using autologous TILs. TIL diversity provides a reasonable explanation for the degree of immune response, implied TIL diversity can serve as a surrogate marker to monitor the effect of immunotherapy.

Abstract
Purpose Limited studies have compared the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant therapies in HCC patients with microvascular invasion (MVI). In this study we assess the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant conservative therapy (CT), trans-catheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiotherapy (RT) in HCC patients with MVI. Results Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients in the RT group have significantly improved RFS (RT vs TACE: p = 0.011; RT vs CT: p < 0.001) and OS (RT vs. TACE: p = 0.034; RT vs CT: P < 0.001) compared to TACE and CT groups. Further, subgroup analysis based on the degree of MVI and surgical margin width showed that patients with narrow surgical margin have significantly longer RFS and OS after adjuvant RT than the TACE and CT, independent of degree of MVI. Multivariate analysis indicated that MVI classification is the independent prognostic factor associated with RFS and OS. Materials and Methods Between July 2008 and December 2015, 136 HCC patients with MVI were divided into three groups according to their adjuvant therapies. Survival outcomes namely relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) of the three groups were analyzed. Conclusions Adjuvant radiotherapy following hepatectomy could result in better survival outcomes for HCC patients with MVI than TACE or CT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical and pathological factors influencing the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)(≤5 cm) after hepatectomy. METHODS Two hundreds and nineteen cases with HCC(≤5 cm) undergoing hepatectomy in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between December 2003 and July 2013 were collected. The alpha fetoprotein (AFP) level, tumor number, tumor size (diameter), liver cirrhosis, vascular invasion, capsular invasion, differentiation, surgical methods, resection margin, the way of treatments, the situation of recurrence and time to recurrence were analyzed. Log-rank test and the stepwise Cox proportional-hazards models were used to compare the prognosis, respectively. RESULTS The 1-, 3-, 5- and 10- year overall survival rates were 95.9%, 85.3%, 67.8% and 53.3% respectively in all patients.Single factor analysis indicated that vascular invasion, capsular invasion, tumor size, hepatic vascular occult, liver cirrhosis, tumor differentiation, AFP, the way of treatments, the situation of recurrence and time to recurrence can affect the prognosis significantly (all P<0.05). The multifactor analysis showed that AFP, tumor differentiation, liver cirrhosis, capsular invasion, tumor size and the situation of recurrence and time to recurrence were independent prognostic factors (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION The prognosis of patients with HCC(≤5 cm) underwent hepatectomy are affected by multi-factors, such as AFP, tumor differentiation, liver cirrhosis, capsular invasion, tumor size and the situation of recurrence and time to recurrence.

Abstract
The high recurrence rate remains a major problem that strongly influenced the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who received hepatectomy. The presence of microvascular invasion (MVI) is regarded as the most important risk factor that contributes to the postoperative recurrence. Our previous study has hinted that serum microRNA-125b (miR-125b) was associated with MVI. The aim of the present study was to identify whether serum miR-125b can serve as a biomarker to reliably predict microvascular invasion (MVI) preoperatively. MiR-125b was quantified in 108 HCC patients’ serum before they received surgery by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Our results revealed that MVI was associated with relapse free survival (RFS) of postoperative HCC patients; surgical margin width was associated with postoperative RFS in MVI present patients, but not in the patients without MVI. Multivariate analysis revealed that miR-125b, tumor size and AFP were the independent predictive factors associated with MVI in this cohort (P = .001, .001, .003, respectively). The probability of the predictive accuracy of miR-125b was 76.95% (51.32% specificity and 87.50% sensitivity), which was almost equal to the classifier established by combination of AFP and tumor size (78.82% probability, 65.63% specificity and 84.21% sensitivity). Furthermore, the combination of tumor size, AFP and miR-125b yielded a ROC curve area of 86.68% (72.37% specificity and 84.38% sensitivity). Our study indicated that serum miR-125b can be used to predict MVI of HCC patients before they received hepatic resection. Therefore, miR-125b can potentially guide individualized treatment, which helps HCC patients, with or without MVI, to benefit from different surgical approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the significance of resection margin and tumor number on survival of patients with small liver cancer after hepatectomy. METHODS We collected 219 cases with small liver cancer undergoing hepatectomy in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between December 2003 to July 2013. The survival rates were compared by log-rank test between two resection margin groups (≥ 1 cm vs. <1 cm), different tumor number groups (single tumor vs. multiple tumors). We also performed a multifactor analysis by Cox model. RESULTS The 1-, 3-, 5- and 10- year overall survival rates were 95.9%, 85.3%, 67.8% and 53.3%, respectively, in all patients. The median survival time was 28 months in the group of <1 cm resection margin and 36 months in the group of ≥ 1 cm resection margin (P=0.249). The median survival time was 36 months in the group of single tumor and 26 months in the group of multiple tumors (P=0.448). The multifactor analysis also did not show significant effect of resection margin and tumor number on the patients' survival. CONCLUSIONS For small liver cancer, the resection margin of 1 cm might be advised. Increasing resection margin in further could probably not improve therapeutic effect. Standardized operation and combined treatment will decrease the negative influence of multiple tumors on overall survival.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of the latent transforming growth factor-beta binding protein-1 (LTBP-1) in distinguishing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from patients with hepatitis or liver cirrhosis. The protein levels of LTBP-1 or AFP in circulating plasma were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or chemiluminescence in four cohorts: HCC (n = 167), liver cirrhosis (n = 50), chronic hepatitis B (CHB, n = 50), and healthy individuals (n = 104). Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves and area under the curves (AUC) of the proteins were calculated. Results showed that plasma levels of LTBP-1 were significantly higher in HCC patients than those in other three groups. LTBP-1 showed a better diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.67-0.80) in distinguishing HCC from the CHB or cirrhosis patients, compared to AFP (AUC = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.52-0.65). In the early-stage HCCs investigated, diagnostic performance of LTBP-1 (AUC = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.70-0.84) remained better than that of AFP (AUC = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.52-0.69). Combination of LTBP-1 and AFP showed increased diagnostic efficiency than any of the two proteins performed alone, for both all HCC (AUC = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.72-0.83) and early-stage HCC (AUC = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.74-0.87). These findings proposed that LTBP-1 may be a promising biomarker for distinguishing HCC from the CHB or liver cirrhosis patients, especially for the early-stage HCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the surgical risk, perioperative outcome and the response of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). METHODS A retrospective case-matched study was conducted to compare the characteristics and corresponding measures of patients in the preoperative TACE group and the control group without TACE. A total of 105 patients (82 patients with selective and dynamic region-specific vascular occlusion to perform hepatectomy for patients with complex hepatocellular carcinoma) was included in this study, in which 35 patients underwent TACE therapy, and a 1:2 matched control group of 70 subjects. RESULTS The patients of preoperative TACE therapy group had a higher level of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase before operation (119.52±98.83) U/L vs. (67.39±61.25) U/L (P=0.040). The operation time was longer in the TACE group than that in the control group but with a non-significant difference (232.60±95.43) min vs. (218.70±75.13) min (P=0.052). The postoperative recovery of liver function and severe complications in the preoperative TACE group were similar to that in the control group (P>0.05). There were no massive hemorrhage, biliary fistula and 30-d death neither in the treatment group and matched control group. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative TACE therapy has certain negative effect on liver function. It is preferable to use selective and dynamic region-specific vascular occlusion technique during hepatectomy and combine with reasonable perioperative treatment for this group of patients, that can ensure safety of patients and promote their rapid recovery.

Abstract
Male breast cancer is a rare malignant disease characterized by hormonal imbalance. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common neoplasm of the liver, and is generally correlated with hepatitis B or C virus-related cirrhosis. While to our knowledge a case with these two malignant diseases in a same male patient in the concomitant period is an exceptional event, rarely reported in literature. In this report, we present a case in which a Chinese patient with hepatitis B developed a tumor mass that originated from segment V of the liver and presented with right breast nodules at the same time. Synchronous mastectomy and hepatectomy were performed, and standard endocrine therapy and chemotherapy as adjuvant treatment were therefore followed. The diverse histogenesis of the two kinds of cancers highlights the need for us to investigate any common physiopathogenetic elements.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most deadly tumors. Prognosis of patients with HCC is generally poor due to the high recurrence rate. In the present study, TaqMan Real-time PCR microRNA Array was used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs from 10 tumor tissue samples (5 from recurrence group vs. 5 from non-recurrence group) and the matched serum samples. Four differentially expressed miRNAs (miR-486–5p, miR-422a, miR-125b and miR-139–5p) were further quantified in 20 tumor tissues and 116 HCC patients' serum before they received hepatectomy. Univariate analysis revealed that miR-486–5p, miR-422a and miR-125b were significantly associated with patients' relapse free survival (RFS). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that miR-486–5p, AFP and microvascular invasion (MVI) were the independent prognostic factors associated with RFS in this cohort (p = 0.000, 0.043, 0.000, respectively). Besides, the expression levels of miR-486–5p were positively correlated in tumor tissues and the paired serum samples, so was miR-422a. The probability of the prognostic accuracy of miR-486–5p in predicting postoperative recurrence of HCC within the first year was 76.79% (65.38% specificity and 81.58% sensitivity), which was almost equal to the classifier established by combination of AFP and MVI (75.98% probability, 63.13% specificity and 85.90% sensitivity). Furthermore, the combination of AFP, MVI and miR-486–5p yielded a ROC curve area of 88.02% (69.20% specificity and 92.10% sensitivity). Our study was the first to identify that serum miR-486–5p could be used to stratify the patients with higher recurrence risk before hepatic resection and potentially guide more effective surveillance strategies for them.
