Objective To investigate the clinical effect of precise sequential interventional therapy in patients with unresectable hepatic metastasis after surgery for colorectal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 63 patients with unresectable hepatic metastasis after surgery for colorectal cancer,who were admitted to Air Force General Hospital,PLA from January 2005 to September 2012,were collected. According to therapeutic methods,these patients were divided into precise sequential interventional therapy group( group A,33 patients) and systemic chemotherapy group( group B,30 patients). The patients in group A underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation,and those in group B underwent systemic chemotherapy. The percentages of peripheral blood CD3+,CD4+,and CD8+T cells and CD4+/ CD8+ratio were measured before and after the initial treatment. The level of carcinoembryonic antigen( CEA) was measured and compared before the initial treatment and after the final treatment,and follow- up was conducted to observe tumor progression and survival.The t- test was applied for comparison of continuous data between groups; the chi- square test was applied for comparison of categorical data between groups; the Wilcoxon rank sum test was applied for comparison of clinical effect; the Log- Rank test was applied for comparison of survival rate. Results In group A,the percentages of CD3+,CD4+,and CD8+T cells and CD4+/ CD8+ratio changed significantly after the initial treatment( t = 4. 52,- 3. 27,2. 95,and 4. 54,all P < 0. 05); serum CEA level also changed significantly after treatment( 38. 76 ± 9. 57) μg/ml vs( 10. 53 ± 8. 62) μg/ml,t = 2. 13,P = 0. 03). The serum level of CEA after the final treatment showed a significant difference between group A and group B( 10. 53 ± 8. 62) ug / L vs( 35. 21 ± 10. 22) μg / L; t = 5. 23,P < 0. 01). Group A had a significantly higher objective response rate than group B( 66. 7% vs 43. 3%; Z =- 2. 042,P = 0. 041). Group A had a significantly longer survival time than group B,and group A had a significantly higher surrival rate than group B( 45. 5% vs 23. 3%,χ2= 3. 97,P = 0. 046).Conclusion In patients with unresectable hepatic metastasis after surgery for colorectal cancer,precise sequential interventional therapy can improve their immune function,increase clinical outcome,and prolong survival time.
按照UDCA治疗应答情况,637例患者中436例发生完全应答,201例为应答不良。性别分布中,完全应答组与应答不良组分布无统计学意义(P值均>0.05),基线存在肝硬化的患者UDCA应答率更高(78.9% vs 71.1%,P=0.032),生化指标中,TBil、AST、ALP、TBA和TC在两组间存在统计学差异(P值均<0.001)。免疫指标中,应答不良组IgA、IgM水平及抗Gp210阳性率均较高(P值均<0.05)。预后风险评分中,应答不良组MRS、Globe评分、UK-PBC评分均高于完全应答组(P值均<0.001)(表 2)。

根据IgM预测UDCA应答不良的最佳临界值将患者分为IgM≥1.5×ULN及IgM<1.5×ULN两组,性别分布、年龄、肝硬化占比在两组中比较差异均无统计学意义(P值均>0.05);IgM≥1.5×ULN组AST、ALP、TC显著高于IgM<1.5×ULN组(P值均<0.05);IgM≥1.5×ULN组IgG水平及抗Gp210阳性率显著高于IgM<1.5×ULN组(P值均<0.001)。IgM≥1.5×ULN组经过UDCA治疗后发生应答不良患者显著高于IgM<1.5×ULN组(38.3% vs 27.1%,P=0.003)(表 5)。

Comparison of baseline characteristics and the outcome of UDCA treatment between PBC with different levels of IgM
UDCA是PBC治疗的一线药物,可显著改善部分PBC患者非肝移植存活率[11-12],但仍有30%~40%的患者对UDCA治疗无应答,本研究中显示UDCA完全应答率为68.4%,对于这部分患者需要及时联合一种或两种二线药物来改善胆汁淤积以预防疾病进展[13]。UDCA治疗可能影响IgM水平,研究[14]发现UDCA能够显著降低细菌CpG诱导的总IgM和IgM-AMA的产生,但对IgG-AMA的水平却无影响。IgM与肝硬化相关症状和肝脏相关事件的发生关系密切,在UDCA联合苯扎贝特治疗过程中,不论ALP及GGT下降与否,当IgM水平持续异常时,患者的预后均较差,其生存期显著低于IgM水平正常化的患者,治疗过程中IgM水平的逐步正常化可能提示预后较好[15]。对于UDCA不完全应答的PBC患者,在给予联合利妥昔单抗治疗后,IgM水平随着肝功能指标的好转而逐步下降[16]。IgM正常化可作为长期预后的预测指标,但初始IgM正常患者IgM水平的变化情况及预测因素尚缺乏研究。在本研究中,UDCA治疗基线IgM平均水平为2.76 g/L,IgM升高的占比为56.0%,在UDCA完全应答组与应答不良组之间,基线IgM水平存在显著性差异(P=0.034),进一步分析IgM升高与IgM正常组患者的临床特征及在UDCA治疗1年后的疗效差异,发现IgM正常组UDCA应答率高于IgM升高组(71.8% vs 65.8%),但两组差异无统计学意义(P=0.108),通过ROC曲线分析获得IgM预测UDCA治疗1年后应答不良风险的最佳临界值(1.5×ULN),按最佳临界值进行分组后,结果显示IgM<1.5×ULN组的PBC患者发生UDCA应答率显著高于IgM≥1.5×ULN组(72.9% vs 61.7%, P=0.003),IgM≥1.5×ULN组发生UDCA应答不良风险是前者的1.416倍(95%CI: 1.129~1.776),因此基线IgM水平可能有助于预测PBC治疗应答。
