 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 3 Heating lipiodol embolization of hepatocellular carcinoma Author: independence to build libraries, Liguan Hai, Liu Xianru [Keywords:] heating; lipiodol; embolization treatment; liver tumors Apoptosis threshold temperature of 41.5 ~ 43.5 ℃ , its duration need to 30 min, heating temperature rises to 50 ℃ , the duration is about 6 ~ 10 min, when the heating temperature rises to above 60 ℃ , the cancer cells occurs immediately freezing [1]. Heat treatments between 2003 and-2007 years, we have inspired heated lipiodol using interventional treatment of liver cancer, to achieve better efficacy, these are as follows. 1 Data and methods 1.1 General Information Conventional hepatic arterial chemotherapy, iodized oil (not heated) percutaneous hepatic artery embolization (TACE) 78 patients (conventional group), male 41 cases, female 37 cases, aged 26 to 82 years old, primary liver cancer, 46 cases of , 32 cases of metastatic liver cancer. Heating lipiodol chemotherapy, percutaneous hepatic artery embolization of liver cancer 60 cases of catheter (heated group), male 31 cases, female 29, age 31 to 79 years old, 34 cases of primary liver cancer, metastatic liver cancer in 26 cases . All patients with chemotherapy drugs may be based on pathological classification. 1.2 Materials and Equipment 800W electric furnace, thermometer (after disinfection is used to measure temperature), 5F hepatic artery catheter and 0.035 inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm) guide wire of a loach, the United States Evergreen Inc. 1 200 mA X-ray machine mathematical subtraction system (DSA ). 1.3 Methods Femoral artery puncture using Sldinger method will be sent to the hepatic artery catheter angiography, all patients in the preoperative 3 ~ 5 d-line determination of liver function and imaging tests. Around 7 d after reviewing liver function, approximately 15 d after re-imaging contrast examination. The majority of patients 1 to 3 months after the re-interventional therapy. All p
