The Research of No-Touch Isolation Technique on the Prevention of Postoperative Recurrence and Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Hepatectomy
To evaluate the efficacy of a surgical no-touch isolation technique in primary hepatocellular carcinoma patients compared with traditional hepatectomy.Eighty hepatocellular carcinoma patients were randomly divided into traditional hepatectomy (n = 40) and no-touch isolation technique groups (n = 40). We compared peripheral blood variations in alpha-fetoprotein mRNA, miRNA-221, miRNA-224, and miRNA-122 expression levels in both groups pre- and postoperatively using real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The patients in the no-touch isolation technique group had better clinical curative effect. In the traditional hepatectomy group, variations in alpha-fetoprotein mRNA copy number pre- and postoperatively indirectly indicated a significant increase in the number of exfoliated carcinoma cells induced by manipulating the liver, increasing the risk of postoperative recurrence and metastasis (P0.05). Traditional hepatectomy patients showed higher increases in miRNA-221 and miRNA-224 expression than those in the no-touch isolation technique group (P0.05). Tumor resection resulted in preoperative expression and high postoperative expression of miRNA-122. No-touch isolation technique patients showed a slight and significant increase (P0.01) in miRNA-122, which was positively correlated with postoperative liver function index. Conclusion: The no-touch isolation technique is more effective than traditional hepa- tectomy in tumor resection for primary hepatocellular carcinoma.
