Background: The Ki-67 expression level, which represents the proliferation status of cells, serves as a prognostic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, the immunochemistry method currently used to evaluate Ki-67 is invasive and is not suitable for patients who have lost the chance for surgery, such as those with advanced tumors or those with other serious organic diseases. This study aimed to investigate the value of quantitative dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) parameters in predicting the expression level of Ki-67 in HCC. Methods: This study analyzed the data of 123 consecutive patients with HCC who underwent both Ki-67 immunohistochemistry analysis and two-phase contrast-enhanced DECT imaging. The patients were divided into the following two groups based on the positive rate of Ki-67 (Ki-67%): the high-expression group (Ki67% >20%, n=74); and the low-expression group (Ki-67% <= 20%, n=49). The computed tomography (CT) values in the 130 and 140 keV monochromatic energy images (HU 130-140keV ), normalized effective atomic number (NeffZ), fat density (D-fat), and water density (D-water ) were measured and calculated at the arterial phase (AP) and portal venous phase (PVP). A Spearman correlation coefficient analysis, a comparison of parameters between groups, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for evaluating predictive efficacy, and a multivariable logistic regression analysis were conducted. Results: The NeffZ-AP, HU 130 keV-PVP, HU 140 keV-PVP, D-fat-PVP, and D-water -PVP were positively correlated with the Ki-67% (all P<0.05), and the DECT parameter values in the high-expression group were significantly higher than those in the low-expression group (all P<0.05). The D-water -PVP [odds ratio (OR) =1.353, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.204-1.521, P<0.001] and tumor diameter (OR =1.258, 95% CI: 1.08-1.465, P=0.003) were independent predictive factors for high Ki-67 expression. D-water-PVP had the highest predictive efficacy with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.810. The multivariable analysis combining the DECT parameters and morphological characteristics improved the predictive efficacy of the model in predicting high Ki-67 expression (AUC =0.857). Conclusions: DECT provides a non-invasive method to evaluate the proliferation status of HCC cells, and the predictive efficacy of high Ki-67 expression could be improved by combining DECT parameters and morphologic features.
Objective: To investigate the correlation between dynamic enhanced energy spectral CT parameters and Ki-67 high expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: A cross-sectional study. This retrospective case-control study analyzed the clinical data of 101 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC in Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Zhongshan Hospital of Xiamen University from December 2017 to March 2023. These 101 patients included 84 males and 17 females, and the age[M(Q1, Q3)] was 59.0(49.0,66.0)years. These patients were divided into two groups according to the immunohistochemical Ki-67 expression levels in tumor tissues: the high expression group (Ki-67%>20%, n=59) and the low expression group (Ki-67%≤20%, n=42).CT values on 70 keV and 140 keV monochromatic energy images (HU70 keV-a, HU140 keV-a, HU70 keV-p, HU140 keV-p) and water density (Dwater-a, Dwater-p) were measured in arterial phase and portal vein phase, and the difference of HU70 keV, HU140 keV, Dwater values between portal vein and arterial phase (ΔHU70 keV, ΔHU140 keV, ΔDwater), as well as ratio of HU70 keV, HU140 keV, Dwatervalues between portal vein and arterial phase (HU70 keVratio, HU140 keVratio, Dwaterratio) were calculated. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the CT spectral parameters and Ki-67%. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to determine the factors associated with high expression of Ki-67. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were used to indicate the efficacy of dynamic enhanced spectral CT in evaluating Ki-67 high expression in HCC. Results: The high Ki-67 expression group revealed higher alpha fetal protein levels, larger tumor diameter and more irregular tumor shape compared with the low Ki-67 expression group,and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the HU140 keV-p, Dwater-p, HU70 keV ratio, HU140 keV ratio, Dwater ratio, ΔHU70 keV, ΔHU140 keV, ΔDwater were positively correlated with Ki-67 positivity rate (r:0.31-0.50, all P<0.05). The spectral CT parameters (HU70 keV-p, HU140 keV-p, Dwater-p, HU70 keV ratio, HU140 keV ratio, Dwater ratio, ΔHU70 keV, ΔHU140 keV, ΔDwater) in high Ki-67 expression group were significantly higher than those in low Ki-67 expression group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression model shows that Dwater-p(OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.05-1.29, P=0.005), ΔHU140 keV(OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.20-1.62, P<0.001) and irregular tumor morphology (OR=5.25, 95%CI: 1.61-17.12, P=0.006) were correlative factors for high Ki-67 expression. The HU140 keV ratio and ΔHU140 keV alone evaluated the highest AUC of high Ki-67 high expression in HCC, which were 0.82 (95%CI: 0.74-0.90), the sensitivity were 61.0%, and the specificity were 88.1% and 85.7%. The combined analysis of Dwater-p, ΔHU140 keV and irregular tumor morphology had an increased AUC of 0.88 (95%CI: 0.81-0.95) in assessment high Ki-67 expression, with the sensitivity of 84.7% and the specificity of 78.6%. Conclusions: Dynamic enhanced spectral CT parameters were positively correlated with the Ki-67 expression in HCC. Spectral CT provides a non-invasive method to evaluate the proliferation status of HCC cells, and the efficiency could be improved by multi-parameter analysis combining spectral CT parameters and morphologic features.
Introduction:Preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization can shorten the time of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and accurately aid in pulmonary nodule removal.Aim:To discuss the application value and safety of 2 kinds of breast localization needles and anchor localization needles in clinical practice for pulmonary nodules under CT guidance before VATS.Material and methods:We retrospectively studied 215 patients with 247 pulmonary nodules, who underwent CT-guided pulmonary nodule location before VATS. The 2 kinds of localization needles were randomly used, and we collected and analysed the clinical data.Results:We used breast and anchor localization needles in 27.9% and 72.1% of cases, respectively. Differences were observed in puncture localization time, detachment rate, and visual analogue scale (VAS). The detachment rate (0%) and positioning time (median: 12 min) were less in the anchor than in the breast localization needle group (8.7% and median: 13 min, respectively). The median VAS was approximately 2 and 5 in the anchor and breast localization needle groups, respectively. Surgical pathology revealed that 155 (62.8%) pulmonary nodules were malignant while 92 (37.2%) were benign. The primary distinction in surgical procedures is the higher proportion of segmental resections in the middle and inner band group (19.3%) compared to the periphery band group (4.2%).Conclusions:Unlike breast localization needles, anchor localization needles can reduce pain and discomfort after positioning, and they are not easy to decouple. These 2 needles are safe for CT-guided localization, which can shorten the time of VATS and accurately aid in pulmonary nodule removal.

Objective To observe the short-term effects of Chinese Medicine Gan-tai mixture (肝泰合剂) in combination with radiofrequency ablation to treat HCC. Methods 74 patients with HCC Ⅱ, Ⅲ stage were reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups randomly, 38 patients given Gan-tai mixture (肝泰合剂) in combination with radiofrequency ablation in treatment group, and 36 patients given Glutathione in combination with radiofrequency ablation in control group respectively. Results In comparison with control group, the ther-apy efficiency of treatment group(CR+PR)71.05% was strikingly higher than control group 58.33%(P<0.05). Besides, the decreasing rate of AFP in treatment group was also more obvious than control group (P<0.01). Further more, the main clinical symptoms of treatment group ameliorated much better than control group(P<0.01). Finally, after 12-month and 24-month therapy the survival rate of treatment group was higher than con-trol group conspicuously(P<0.05). Conclusion Gan-tai mixture (肝泰合剂) in combination with radiofre-quency ablation could not only ameliorate clinical symptoms of patients effectively, but also enhance immunity function of cells, and improve life quality and life span. In summary, it could serve as one of the effective thera-pies for treatment of advanced HCC patients.
