The effect of nanoparticle concentration on zeta-potential measurement results at dilute concentrations was evaluated. The values of the zeta-potential for four different types of nanoparticles, Ludox （silica）, multi-walled carbon nanotubes （bamboo-shaped and hollow nanotubes） and gold, at various concentrations, were obtained using a laser Doppler electrophoresis instrument. The size of the nanoparticles on dilution was measured using dynamic light scattering （DLS）. The results show that there is a concentration range within which the zeta-potential, and particle size, are not affected by nanoparticle concentration. The lower concentration limit for the system to produce consistent results was dependent on the nature of the sample under study and ranged between 10-2 and 10-4 wt%. Below this concentration, there was an apparent shift in zeta-potential values to less negative values, which was accompanied by an increase in the particle size. The shift in zeta-potential was attributed to an increase in contribution of the signal from extraneous particulate matter. The increase in particle size was attributed to the nature of the homodyne optical configuration of the instrument. The aim of this study was to elucidate the range in nanoparticle concentration that allows for accurate and reliable measurement of the zeta-potential and DLS data.

Loco-regional hepatocellular carcinoma treatment services as a bridge to liver transplantation

Background: Liver transplantation remains the main curative treatment option for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients. In the Eurotransplant area Milan criteria are used to assign priority extra points(exceptional MELD, ex MELD) for patients on the waiting list. To prevent patients from tumor progression, loco-regional(neoadjuvant) treatment(LRT) is used. For patients unlikely to timely receive an organ via primary allocation,“extended critera donor(ECD) organs” are used. The present study aimed to investigate the survival after LT with a strategy of minimizing waiting list dropouts by using LRT for bridging and transplanting ECD organs if possible and necessary. Methods: Between October 2010 and May 2015, 50 liver transplants for HCC were included in this retrospective study. Of those, 42(84%) met the Milan criteria according to the preoperative radiological examination. Forty-one patients(82%) received LRT. The waiting time was analyzed according to LRT. Kaplan-Meier curves with log-rank statistics were used for survival analyses. Results: One-and five-year overall survival within Milan criteria was 94.3% and 83.7% compared with 91.7% and 67.9% beyond Milan criteria, though statistical significance was not reached( P = 0.487). LRT had no impact on overall survival( P = 0.629). Median waiting time was shorter if no LRT was performed(4.6 months vs. 1.5 months, P = 0.006) and there were no cases of waiting list dropouts. Using ECD organs had no impact on overall survival( P = 0.663). Conclusions: Patients with an expected waiting time to transplantation of > 6 months could be successfully treated with LRT as a bridge to transplant. Overall and disease-free survival for patients within and beyond Milan criteria was comparable and the use of ECD organs in this cohort of HCC patients proved to be a safe option.

Y90-radioembolization via variant hepatic arteries: Is there a relevant risk for non-target embolization?

World Journal of Radiology 2019年第7期11卷 102-109页

BACKGROUND The hepatic arterial anatomy is highly variable, with the two most common variants being a replaced right hepatic artery(RHA) originating from the superior mesenteric artery(SMA) and a left hepatic artery(LHA) originating from the left gastric artery(LGA). These anatomical variants could potentially increase the risk for non-target embolization during Y90-Radioembolization due to the close proximity between hepatic and enteric vessel *** To evaluate the safety of Yttrium-90radioembolization(90Y-RE) with resin microspheres in patients with a variant hepatic arterial *** In this retrospective single-center observational study, 11 patients who underwent RE with 90Y-resin microspheres via a LHA originating from the LGA,and 13 patients via a RHA originating from the SMA were included. Patient and treatment data were reviewed regarding clinical and imaging evidence of nontarget embolization of 90Y-resin microspheres to the GI tract. Positioning of the tip of the microcatheter in relationship to the last hepatoenteric side branch was retrospectively analyzed using angiographic images, cone-beam CT and preinterventional *** None of the 24 patients developed clinical symptoms indicating a potential nontarget embolization to the GI tract within the first month after 90Y-RE. On thepostinterventional 90Y-bremsstrahlung images and/or 90Y-positron emission tomographies, no evidence of extrahepatic 90Y-activity in the GI tract was noted in any of the patients. The mean distance between the tip of the microcatheter and the last enteric side branch during delivery of the 90Y microspheres was 3.2 cm(range: 1.9-5 cm) in patients with an aberrant LHA originating from a LGA. This was substantially shorter than the mean distance of 5.2 cm(range: 2.9-7.7 cm) in patients with an aberrant right hepatic originating from the ***90Y-RE via aberrant hepatic arteries appears to be safe;at least with positioning of the microcatheter tip
