    Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stands as the most prevalent form of primary liver cancer and is highly invasive and easily recurs. For HCC, chemotherapy shows limited effect. The gold standard for HCC treatment includes curative surgical resection or liver transplantation. However, the recurrence rate at 5 years after liver resection is estimated at approximately 70% and even at 5 years after liver transplantation, it is 20%. Therefore, improving survival outcomes after curative surgical resection of liver cancer is crucial. This review highlights the importance of identifying risk factors for HCC recurrence following radical surgical resection and adjuvant therapy options that may reduce the recurrence risk and improve overall survival, including local adjuvant therapy (e.g., transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and radiotherapy), adjuvant systemic therapy (e.g., small molecule targeted therapy and immunotherapy), and other adjuvant therapies (e.g., chemotherapy). However, further research is needed to refine the use of these therapies and optimize their effectiveness in preventing HCC recurrence.

    Abstract Epigenetic regulation is important for cancer tumor metastasis and progression, including lung and liver cancer. However, the mechanism of epigenetic regulation in liver cancer leaves much to be discussed. According to a previous study, p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and promotes cancer metastasis by recruiting intestine-specific homeobox (ISX) and bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) in lung cancer. To figure out whether the three genes are also expressed in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or not, and their correlation with patients' outcome, BRD4, PCAF, and ISX messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels in 377 patients with HCC were investigated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and confocal fluorescence imaging. The correlation of the gene expression (PCAF, ISX, and BRD4) in liver cancer is also being investigated. Here, we show that the mRNA expression of PCAF, BRD4, and ISX in 377 paired specimens from patients with HCC, and the adjacent normal tissues exhibited a tumor-specific expression pattern, highly correlated with disease pathogenesis, patient survival time, progression stage, and poor prognosis. The results show that ISX and BRD4 can potentially be a target for improving the survival rate.

    Abstract Background: Common bile duct (CBD) stones commonly occur in cholecystectomy cases. The management options include laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE) or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Although ERCP is fully developed, it has complications, and LCBDE is a proven alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these treatments in elderly individuals aged ≥70 years.
    Methods: A retrospective study between January 2015 and July 2022 included 160 elderly patients (aged ≥70 years) diagnosed with cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis. The patients were divided into 1-stage (LCBDE [n = 80]) or 2-stage (ERCP followed by LC [n = 80]) treatment groups. Data collected encompassed comorbidities, symptoms, bile duct clearance, postoperative complications, and long-term outcomes for systematic analysis.
    Results: This study analyzed 160 patients treated for CBD stones, comparing 1-stage and 2-stage groups. The 1-stage group had more female patients than the 2-stage group (57.5% vs 37.5%, respectively). The 1-stage group had a mean age of 80.55 ± 7.00 years, which was higher than the mean age in the 2-stage group. American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and laboratory findings were similar. Pancreatitis and cholangitis occurred after ERCP in the 2-stage group. Stone clearance rates (92.35% [1-stage group] vs 95.00% [2-stage group]) and biliary leakage incidence (7.5% [1-stage group] vs 3.0% [2-stage group]) were similar, as were postoperative complications and long-term recurrence rates (13.0% [1-stage group] vs 12.5% [2-stage group]).
    Conclusion: Our research indicates that both the combination of LCBDE and LC and the sequence of ERCP followed by LC are equally efficient and secure when treating CBD stones in elderly patients. Consequently, the 1-stage procedure may be considered the preferred treatment approach for this demographic.

    Abstract Aim: This paper aims to describe an intracorporeal tourniquet method for laparoscopic Pringle maneuver (PM).
    Methods: One shortened Foley tube with side-hole on the tip was put into the abdomen. Then, the tail was pulled out through the side-hole to make a loop to encircle porta hepatis for inflow control.
    Result: It is easy to keep the tension by a metallic clip, and when released, the clip can be removed and the loop loosened.
    Conclusion: Therefore, PM could be performed inside the abdomen without special instrument nor extra trocar port. The intracorporeal Pringle maneuver with Huang's loop could be routinely used during laparoscopic liver resection even for a laparoscopic beginner because it is so easily learnt, safe, and effective.

    Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common type of cancer, and is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths each year. It involves a multi-step progression and is strongly associated with chronic inflammation induced by the intake of environmental toxins and/or viral infections (i.e., hepatitis B and C viruses). Although several genetic dysregulations are considered to be involved in disease progression, the detailed regulatory mechanisms are not well defined. Homeobox genes that encode transcription factors with homeodomains control cell growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis in embryonic development. Recently, more aberrant expressions of Homeobox genes were found in a wide variety of human cancer, including HCC. In this review, we summarize the currently available evidence related to the role of Homeobox genes in the development of HCC. The objective is to determine the roles of this conserved transcription factor family and its potential use as a therapeutic target in future investigations.

    Abstract Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an important public health issue. However, knowledge on how the virus remodels the metabolic and immune response toward hepatic pathologic environment is limited. The transcriptomic and multiple evidences reveal that the HCV core protein-intestine-specific homeobox (ISX) axis promotes a spectrum of metabolic, fibrogenic, and immune modulators (e.g., kynurenine, PD-L1, and B7-2), regulating HCV-infection relevant pathogenic phenotype in vitro and in vivo. In a transgenic mice model, the HCV core protein-ISX axis enhance metabolic disturbance (particularly lipid and glucose metabolism) and immune suppression, and finally, chronic liver fibrosis in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced disease model. Mechanistically, cells with HCV JFH-1 replicons upregulate ISX and, consequently, the expressions of metabolic, fibrosis progenitor, and immune modulators via core protein-induced nuclear factor-κB signaling. Conversely, cells with specific ISX shRNAi inhibit HCV core protein-induced metabolic disturbance and immune suppression. Clinically, the HCV core level is significantly correlated with ISX, IDOs, PD-L1, and B7-2 levels in HCC patients with HCV infection. Therefore, it highlights the significance of HCV core protein-ISX axis as an important mechanism in the development of HCV-induced chronic liver disease and can be a specific therapeutic target clinically.
