3%) during follow up, however mortality did not differ according to ablative technique (p=0.896). There were no treatment related deaths. Local tumor recurrence occurred in 13/63 (21%) of percutaneously treated patients and 12/42 (29%) of surgical patients (p=0.335).

Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses did not identify statistically significant predictors of local recurrence. Summary and Conclusions: Surgical and percutaneous ablation for early stage HCC have similar safety and efficacy. Patients treated surgically had longer hospital length of stay. The choice of ablative technique should thus be determined by tumor specific factors in addition to center expertise and resources.

in glycogen storage disease type I. The role of portocaval shunt (PCS) has been decreased by advent of liver transplantation (LT) with excellent outcomes. In the respect of organ shortage, outcome of selleck products PCS was reassessed as a curative intent treatment. [Patients and Methods] Fifty-five patients with GSD type I were retrospectively reviewed. Thirty-two patients were managed by only dietary modifications (Group D). Seventeen patients underwent PCS, and 13 patients underwent LT (Group S). Changes of growth pattern during 14 years in Group S were analyzed using a longitudinal Z-score and its variations from mean Z-scores based on group D by the age, changes of clinical features including, taking cornstarch, hypoglycemic seizure, metabolic profiles (glucose, cholesterol, uric acid, urine calcium, pH, white blood cell, and creatinine), and

development of de novo adenoma were assessed. [Results] Patients in group S had average 上海皓元医药股份有限公司 effect of + 0.3765 Z-score compared to group D; in subgroup analysis, patients of LT group had additional + 0.7523 effect to those of PCS group (p<0.0001). In LT group, all metabolic profiles have been improved, but there was no significant improvement in PCS group. Adenoma has been detected in 4 patients (13%) of group D, 12 patients (100%) after PCS, but in no one after LT. Adenoma associated complication was noted in 2 patient (6.3%) of group D (each one of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hemorrhages and 4 patients (23.5%) after PCS [fig. 1]. [Conclusions] Growth pattern has been improved in group S beyond the effect of Group D for patients with GSD type I. However, metabolic and adenoma control were better in LT group.
