简介：AbstractBackground:High-frequency irreversible electroporation (H-FIRE) is a novel, next-generation nanoknife technology with the advantage of relieving irreversible electroporation (IRE)-induced muscle contractions. However, the difference between IRE and H-FIRE with distinct ablation parameters was not clearly defined. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the two treatments in vivo.Methods:Ten Bama miniature swine were divided into two group: five in the 1-day group and five in the 7-day group. The efficacy of IRE and H-FIRE ablation was compared by volume transfer constant (Krans), rate constant (Kep) and extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve) value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), size of the ablation zone, and histologic analysis. Each animal underwent the IRE and H-FIRE. Temperatures of the electrodes were measured during ablation. DCE-MRI images were obtained 1, 4, and 7 days after ablation in the 7-day group. All animals in the two groups were euthanized 1 day or 7 days after ablation, and subsequently, IRE and H-FIRE treated liver tissues were collected for histological examination. Student’s t test or Mann-Whitney U test was applied for comparing any two groups. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and Welch’s ANOVA test followed by Holm-Sidak’s multiple comparisons test, one-way ANOVA with repeated measures followed by Bonferroni test, or Kruskal-Wallis H test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test was used for multiple group comparisons and post hoc analyses. Pearson correlation coefficient test was conducted to analyze the relationship between two variables.Results:Higher Ve was seen in IRE zone than in H-FIRE zone (0.14 ± 0.02 vs. 0.08 ± 0.05, t= 2.408, P = 0.043) on day 4, but no significant difference was seen in Ktrans or Kep between IRE and H-FIRE zones at all time points (all P > 0.05). For IRE zone, the greatest Ktrans was seen on day 7, which was significantly higher than that on day 1 (P = 0.033). The ablation zone size of H-FIRE was significantly larger than IRE 1 day (4.74 ± 0.88 cm2vs. 3.20 ± 0.77 cm2, t = 3.241, P = 0.009) and 4 days (2.22 ± 0.83 cm2vs. 1.30 ± 0.50 cm2, t = 2.343, P = 0.041) after treatment. Apoptotic index (0.05 ± 0.02 vs. 0.73 ± 0.06 vs. 0.68 ± 0.07, F = 241.300, P < 0.001) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) (0.03 ± 0.01 vs. 0.46 ± 0.09 vs. and 0.42 ± 0.07, F= 64.490, P < 0.001) were significantly different between the untreated, IRE and H-FIRE zones, but no significant difference was seen in apoptotic index or HSP70 between IRE and H-FIRE zone (both P > 0.05). Electrode temperature variations were not significantly different between the two zones (18.00 ± 3.77°C vs. 16.20 ± 7.45°C, t = 0.682, P = 0.504). The Ktrans value (r = 0.940, P = 0.017) and the Kep value (r = 0.895, P = 0.040) of the H-FIRE zone were positively correlated with the number of hepatocytes in the ablation zone.Conclusions:H-FIRE showed a comparable ablation effect to IRE. DCE-MRI has the potential to monitor the changes of H-FIRE ablation zone.

简介：AbstractObjective:Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is emerging as a new therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). We aimed to conduct survival and safety analyses in LAPC patients after treatment with IRE combined with chemotherapy.Methods:A total of 64 patients with LAPC who had received IRE and chemotherapy were retrospectively collected from August 2015 to March 2019 at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. A multivariate Cox regression model was used to determine the prognostic factors of survival. The perioperative complications of IRE were also evaluated. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (approval No. C2021-003).Results:The median survival of all included patients were 24.63 (95% confidence interval: 21.78-27.49) for overall survival and 13.00 (95% confidence interval: 8.81-17.19) months for progression-free survival, with 96.8%, 51.9%, 18.3%; and 52.3%, 21.5%, 7.9% as the 1-, 2-and 3-year OS and PFS rates, respectively. Tumor size [OS, hazard ratio (HR)=1.768, P= 0.048; PFS, HR= 0.304, P= 0.010], neoadjuvant chemotherapy (OS, HR= 0.338, P= 0.030; PFS, HR= 0.358, P= 0.034), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 variation after IRE (OS, HR= 19.320, P= 0.003; PFS, HR= 14.591, P= 0.021) and tumor response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (OS, HR= 8.779, P= 0.033; PFS, HR= 5.562, P= 0.008) were predictive factors of survival in patients with LAPC after IRE. Complications were observed in 20.3% of patients. Grade B pancreatic fistula was the most common complication. The complication rates of the late treatment group (6.1%) were significantly lower than those of the first 15 patients after IRE treatment (66.7%). The median length of hospital stay of late treatment group was 8.6 days, which was also shorter than that of the early treatment group (10.0 days).Conclusions:IRE combined with chemotherapy could improve survival of LAPC patients with acceptable complication rates. Therefore, it may be a suitable method for LAPC but should be validated in prospective randomized trials.
