Abstract
AIM: To investigate the relationship between the tumor microvascular characteristics and biological features of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
METHODS: Thirty-two tumor specimens were resected from patients with HCC. The tumor microvessel density (MVD), microvessel diameter (MD), trabecular diameter (TD) and diameter ratio of tumor microvessel to trabecular (D-TM/T) of HCC with different differentiated degree, sizes, and blood supply in DSA were analyzed statistically.
, 百拇医药
RESULTS: The grades of tumor microvessel type tended to go up with the growth of HCC (rs = 0.55, P = 0.001). With the increase oftumor microvessel grades, DSA blood supply tended to be higher types (rs= 0.56, P = 0.001). MVD was differentbetween different sizes of HCC, and the highest value, which wassignificantly higher than that of HCC with the diameters of ≤3cm (P = 0.005) and >5 cm (P = 0.016), appeared in tumorswith the diameters of 3-5 cm. MD was increased with the increase of HCCdiameter. MVDs in low, moderate and high blood supply HCC were 45.34±21.18, 69.50±54.18 and 61.56±38.94 respectively, and MVD in low blood supply HCC was much markedly lower than that in moderate and high one (P = 0.014, P= 0.031). Tumor MD and D-TM/T was increased fromlow to high blood supply HCC accordingly. Tumor MD of low blood supply HCCwas significantly smaller than that in high one (P = 0.044), andD-TM/T obviously lower than moderate and high one (P= 0.017, P= 0.008). MVD showed no significant difference between high and moderate blood supply HCC.MVD was not significantly related to the differentiated degree of HCC (P>0.05).

CONCLUSION: The characteristics of tumor microvessels are regularly different during the progress of HCC. HCC with different blood supply shows significant differences in features of tumor microvessels.

摘要目的:探讨HCC肿瘤微血管特征与其大小、细胞分化程度、DSA血供分型等生物学特性的关系.
方法:选取手术切除前做过血管造影且未做栓塞治疗的HCC标本32例.对不同分化程度、大小、DSA血供分型肝癌的MVD、肿瘤微血管直径、肿瘤梁索直径、肿瘤微血管梁索直径比进行相关统计学分析.
结果:随HCC生长,肿瘤微血管分型有增高的趋势(rs= 0.55, P = 0.001);肝癌DSA血供分型随肿瘤微血管分型增加呈增加的趋势(rs= 0.56, P = 0.001);不同大小肝癌MVD不同,3-5 cm组肝癌的MVD最大,与≤3 cm及>5 cm组比P= 0.005及P= 0.016;随HCC生长,微血管直径有增高的趋势;肿瘤MVD在乏血供、中等血供、富血供HCC中分别为45.34±21.18、69.50±54.18和61.56±38.94,乏血供组MVD明显小于中等血供和富血供组(P= 0.014,P= 0.031).肿瘤微血管直径、微血管梁索直径比有随HCC血供分级由乏血供至富血供有明显的增加趋势,乏血供HCC肿瘤微血管直径明显低于富血供HCC(P= 0.044),其血管梁索直径比明显低于中等血供和富血供组(P= 0.017,P= 0.008);富血供HCC与中等血供相比,MVD基本相似,而富血供HCC的微血管直径有大于中等血供HCC的趋势;MVD与肝癌分化程度无关(P>0.05).

3 讨论在HCC生长过程中,由于恶性肿瘤的生长迅速,造成相对缺氧,刺激产生肿瘤微血管,导致MVD增加,但肿瘤生长到一定大小后,由于内皮细胞与肿瘤细胞倍增时间的不同,内皮细胞倍增时间为50-60h,而肿瘤细胞倍增时间仅22h[4],肿瘤生长速度大于肿瘤微血管形成速度,导致肿瘤毛细血管间的距离增加,在肿瘤微血管粗细不变的情况下,MVD将随肝癌增大而减少.我们与El-Assal etal[5]的研究结果显示:在中等大小(2-5 cm)组HCC的MVD最大.同时,在HCC生长的过程中,肿瘤生长速度大于微血管形成速度,导致的肿瘤相对缺血,肿瘤通过增大微血管直径来实现代偿.HCC体积增加到一定程度后,由于肿瘤梁索直径和微血管直径均有增加,其MVD与小HCC比势必会有所降低.
, 百拇医药
肝癌DSA血供分型在一定程度上反映肝癌的分化程度[6],在临床中,介入医师常根据肝癌DSA血供分型选择治疗方案并粗略评估预后,DSA血供分型已经成为肝癌的重要生物学特性.我们的研究结果显示:肝癌DSA表现不仅与MVD有关,还与肿瘤微血管直径、肿瘤微血管梁索直径比和肿瘤微血管分型有关,是多种因素共同作用的结果.虽然大HCC的MVD低于中等大小的HCC的MVD,但其微血管直径随HCC的增大而增加,在一定程度上使肿瘤单位体积内可容纳造影剂的血管空间并未减少,故可以认为肝癌DSA造影血供分型受MVD、肿瘤微血管直径及肿瘤微血管类型等综合因素作用影响,在不同大小的HCC中,MVD对其DSA血供分级的影响力不同,在≤5cm 的HCC中,MVD对DSA血供级别的影响力较大,呈现MVD越高,血供就越丰富的趋势.随着HCC体积的增大,微血管数目增加相对变缓,MVD由相对恒定,转为变小,为了生长的需要,肝癌通过增加微血管直径来代偿,此时肝癌DSA血供分型随MVD、微血管直径及肿瘤微血管类型综合因素作用的影响而变化,其中,可能肿瘤微血管类型的影响力较大.
, 百拇医药
本文肝癌DSA血供分级中,将有无肿瘤血管作为划分中等血供和富血供的标准.结果提示微血管的增粗及肿瘤微血管分型的升高可能与肝癌DSA血供分型中富血供与中等血供的变化相关.肿瘤血管是一种发育不成熟的小动脉,其中层平滑肌不发达,中膜缺损,管径粗细不均.有研究证实HCC内微血管与肝动脉及门静脉同时相通,我们推测:当微血管增粗,并有环状型及条状型粗大肿瘤微血管时,容易产生微小的动-门瘘,导致血流量增加,同时,动-门瘘的出现会加重局限性缺血,从而诱导产生小肿瘤动脉,当此类小动脉直径及数目增加到一定程度时,可被DSA下造影发现.
从病理学角度讲,分化越低的肿瘤,生长越迅速,缺氧相对严重,产生新生血管多,MVD相对高,但本文结果与El-Assal的结果一样[5],并未出现MVD与肝癌分化程度的相应关系,考虑可能的原因,(1)本组32例肝癌中,直径大于或等于5cm的占59.4%(19/32),由于病灶平均直径较大,其内的微血管供血特点已由MVD增加型转为微血管增粗型,致使肿瘤MVD与其细胞分化程度分离,表现为MVD与肝癌分化程度无关.(2)因受经费等多方面的影响,患者很难在手术前只行DSA造影检查而不行治疗.本组病例较少,统计结果仅为参考,有待于例数进一步积累.
