A new use for an old index: preoperative high-density lipoprotein predicts recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after curative resections.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hepatocellular carcinoma has high incidence and mortality worldwide. Liver is the site of most metabolic biotransformation, which could reflect the status of cells. Most plasma apolipoproteins, endogenous lipids and lipoproteins are synthesized in the liver. Therefore, the effects of lipid metabolites on prognosis of HCC deserved to be explored.

Methods

We prospectively included 58 healthy donors (HD), 50 chronic hepatitis (CH) patients and a training cohort of 189 patients with HCC who underwent curative resections at Zhongshan Hospital from January 2012 to August 2012. We identified the optimal HDL_PO cutoff value at 0.98 mmol/L and used it to stratify patients into low- or high-HDL_PO groups for the entire cohort and four low-recurrent-risk subgroups. We also included an independent validation group of 182 HCC patients to validate this cutoff value. Prognostic values of HDL_PO and other factors were determined by Kaplan-Meier curves and the Cox proportional hazards model.

Results

The low-HDL_PO group had a higher median tumor grade (P = 0.020) and a higher recurrence rate (P = 0.032). Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative ?-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and HDL_PO were independent predictors of recurrence. Moreover, the predictive value of HDL_PO was retained in four low-recurrent-risk subgroups. As expected, clinicopathologic characteristics and predictive values were similar in the validation and training cohorts.

Conclusions

HDL_PO is an accessible predictor of HCC recurrence after liver resections that can help identify patients who need more careful monitoring and follow-up care.

Project description:ObjectivesTo explore the role of preoperative gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI in stratifying the risk of early recurrence in patients with LR-5 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by LI-RADS v2018 after curative resection.MethodsBetween July 2015 and August 2018, this study evaluated consecutive treatment-naïve at-risk LR-5 HCC patients who underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI examination within 2 weeks before curative resection. The Cox regression analysis was performed to identify potential predictors of early recurrence. Disease-free survival (DFS) rates were analyzed and compared by using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests.ResultsFifty-three of 103 (51.5%) patients experienced early recurrence. Three MRI findings were significantly associated with early recurrence: corona enhancement (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.116; p = 0.013), peritumoral hypointensity on hepatobiliary phase (HBP) (HR: 2.262; p = 0.007), and satellite nodule (HR: 2.777; p = 0.005). An additional risk factor was AFP level > 400 ng/mL (HR: 1.975; p = 0.016). Based on the number of MRI predictors, LR-5 HCC patients were stratified into three subgroups: LR-5a (60/103; no predictor), LR-5b (26/103; one predictor), and LR-5c (17/103; two or three predictors), with low, medium, and high risk of early recurrence, respectively. The 2-year DFS rate of LR-5a, LR-5b, and LR-5c patients was 65.0%, 38.5%, and 5.9%, respectively, while the corresponding median DFS was undefined, 17.1 months, and 5.1 months, respectively (p < 0.001).ConclusionsIn at-risk LR-5 HCC patients, corona enhancement, peritumoral hypointensity on HBP, and satellite nodule could be used to preoperatively stratify the risk of early recurrence after hepatectomy.Key points• Corona enhancement, peritumoral hypointensity on HBP, satellite nodule, and serum AFP level > 400 ng/mL were significant predictors of early recurrence in patients with LR-5 HCC after hepatectomy. • Based on the number of predictive MRI findings, LR-5 HCC patients could be preoperatively stratified into three subgroups: LR-5a, LR-5b, and LR-5c, with significantly different risk of early recurrence and disease-free survival. • Preoperative risk stratification is essential for the identification of patients at increased risk of postoperative early recurrence, which may contribute to risk-based personalized management for LR-5 HCC patients.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) has emerged as a promising alternative biomarker in the fields of cardiovascular disease and atrial fibrillation (AF). This retrospective study was aimed to explore the predictive value of the MHR for the late recurrence of AF after radiofrequency ablation. METHODS:From April 2015 to October 2018, patients with paroxysmal AF who had undergone radiofrequency catheter ablation at Subei People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province were enrolled in our study. All the participants were observed until November 2019 after the procedure. During the postoperative follow up, the patients were categorized into the recurrence group and maintenance of sinus rhythm group based on who had experienced AF recurrence. RESULTS:One hundred twenty-five patients were diagnosed with paroxysmal AF, with an average age of 61.2?±?9.3?years. Forty-seven patients had developed late recurrence during a mean follow up of 25.1?±?12.0?months. The AF recurrence event rates were significantly increased in the highest MHR tertile compared with those in the lowest MHR tertile (22.0% vs. 57.1%; P?<?0.05). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, the preablation MHR (OR?=?1.34; 95% CI?=?1.12?~?1.60; P?=?0.001) and left atrial diameter (LAD) (OR?=?1.21, 95% CI?=?1.08?~?1.35; P?=?0.001) were independent risk factors predicting the recurrence of AF after radiofrequency ablation. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the MHR was 0.712 (95% CI?=?0.618?~?0.806; P?=?0.000) and that of LAD was 0.739 (95% CI?=?0.653?~?0.814; P?=?0.000). Z-test found no significant difference between the MHR and LAD regarding the AUC (Z?=?0.451; P?=?0.652). CONCLUSION:An elevated preablation MHR was associated with an increased risk of the postoperative recurrence of AF. Additionally, the MHR independently predicted the late recurrence of paroxysmal AF after radiofrequency ablation, with the same predictive value as LAD.
