Echinococcus granulosus(E.granulosus) and Echinococcus multilocularis(E.multilocularis) infections are the most common parasitic diseases that affect the liver.The disease course is typically slow and the patients tend to remain asymptomatic for many years.Often the diagnosis is incidental.Right upper quadrant abdominal pain,hepatitis,cholangitis,and anaphylaxis due to dissemination of the cyst are the main presenting symptoms.Ultrasonography is important in diagnosis.The World Health Organization classification,based on ultrasonographic findings,is used for staging of the disease and treatment selection.In addition to the imaging methods,immunological investigations are used to support the diagnosis.The available treatment options for E.granulosus infection include open surgery,percutaneous interventions,and pharmacotherapy.Aggressive surgery is the first-choice treatment for E.multilocularis infection,while pharmacotherapy is used as an adjunct to surgery.Due to a paucity of clinical studies,empirical evidence on the treatment of E.granulosus and E.multilocularis infections is largely lacking;there are no prominent and widely accepted clinical algorithms yet.In this article,we review the diagnosis and treatment of E.granulosus and E.multilocularis infections in the light of recent evidence.

肝细胞肝癌(hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC)是严重威胁人类健康的恶性肿瘤之一.近年来的研究表明,基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)在肿瘤的发生、侵袭和转移过程中发挥着重要的作用,目前的研究发现,MMP-9的1562位存在着C到T的突变,而且这种突变可能影响到MMP-9基因的表达水平.因此,本实验通过检测MMP-9基因的多态性,初步探讨其与HCC生物学行为的关系。
