Abstract

Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Sleep problems are common in HCC patients and may be attributable to disturbances in the circadian rhythm. Research into the role of circadian rhythms in sleep quality among HCC patients is lacking, however. This study investigated the relationship between the diurnal cortisol profile and sleep quality among HCC patients. We aimed to identify alterations in the diurnal cortisol profile in patients with HCC compared to healthy controls and investigate whether they were associated with poor sleep quality among HCC patients. Methods: Participants comprised 75 HCC patients and 33 healthy individuals. The Taiwanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-T) was administered to assess sleep quality. Saliva samples were collected on 3 consecutive days at five time points daily to measure diurnal cortisol levels. Results: In the HCC group, 89.3% of individuals were poor sleepers (PSQI-T > 5), whereas among healthy individuals, 30.3% were poor sleepers. While the healthy participants' diurnal cortisol profile followed a typical pattern that peaked 30 min after waking and declined gradually throughout the day, the cortisol level in the HCC patients rebounded at bedtime. Higher cortisol levels were marginally correlated with poor sleep quality (OR = 1.00007, p <.05). Conclusions: Our study suggests a potential association between disturbed circadian rhythm and poor sleep quality in HCC patients. Further investigation of the causal relationship between sleep and circadian rhythm is warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The incidence rate of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography complication in liver transplanted patient has not been well studied. Some studies believed such patients inherit higher complication risk in ERCP procedure owing to innate structure deformity and coagulopathy condition. Our aim of this study is to evaluate the post‐ERCP complications incidence in liver transplanted patients. All liver transplant patients (deceased donor and living‐related donor) from January 2010 to December 2015 who underwent ERCP procedure alone in Changhua Christian medical center hospital were retrospective evaluated. Data regarding post‐ERCP complications, including pancreatitis, hemorrhage, perforation, and infection, are collected and analyzed. A total of 98 ERCP procedures were performed in 43 liver transplanted patients during 5‐year period. The overall incidence rate of post ERCP complications was 13.27%. The most common complication was bleeding 6.12%, followed by pancreatitis 5.10%, perforation 2.04%, and cholangitis 1.02%. Among patients with post‐ERCP hemorrhage, more than half of the patients had delay bleeding and required more than two times of endoscopic procedure. Differ from general ERCP complications, all of the perforation events were related to bile duct injury.
