Popis: Objective: To analyze the malignant degree of primary hepatocellular carcinoma after endostar combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) treatment. Methods: A total of 68 cases of patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma treated in our hospital from September 2011 to December 2014 were enrolled for study and divided into observation group 34 cases and control group 34 cases according to different treatment methods. Control group received transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) treatment, observation group received endostar combined with TACE treatment, and then differences in serum amino acid levels, micro RNA levels, levels of GP73, GPC3, GS, etc as well as levels of ChE, TBA and AFP were compared between two groups after treatment. Results: Serum aspartic acid, leucine and arginine levels of observation group after treatment were higher than those of control group, and αα-aminoadipic acid, methionine, β-alanine and 3-methylhistidine levels were lower than those of control group; relative values of serum miR-106b, miR-222 and miR-21 expression of observation group after treatment were lower than those of control group, and relative values of miR-199a and miR-122 expression were higher than those of control group; GP73, IL-17, IL-6, GPC3, GS and HSP70 levels of observation group after treatment were lower than those of control group, and endostatin level was higher than that of control group; ChE level of observation group after treatment was higher than that of control group, and TBA and AFP levels were lower than those of control group. Conclusion: Endostar combined with TACE treatment for patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma can effectively inhibit tumor proliferation, invasion and other malignant processes and improve liver function, and it has positive clinical significance.
