We report a woman in her late 60s with hepatocellular carcinoma in whom the tumor was successfully treated by irreversible electroporation (IRE). Vascular-phase contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) with Sonazoid and dynamic CT at 1 day after treatment showed no tumor enhancement, but the safety margin of ablation appeared to be insufficient. On the other hand, in Kupffer-phase CEUS, the ablation zone showed a clear contrast defect with a sufficient ablation margin, indicating cell death of hepatocytes, cancer cells, and Kupffer cells in this area following IRE treatment. Very similar findings were observed in hepatobiliary-phase Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI at 7 days after treatment. These results suggest that both Kupffer-phase CEUS and hepatobiliary-phase Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI may be useful for assessing the ablation zone in patients who have undergone IRE.

To clarify the long-term effects of occupational exposure to low doses of radiation, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific antibody titers in sera from 104 radiological technologists (R.T.) and 118 controls in Kumamoto prefecture were measured by the immunofluorescence method. Antibody titers to viral capsid antigen (VCA)-IgG increased with the years of experience as R.T., and the prevalence of abnormal antibody titers to both VCA-IgG and early antigen (EA)-IgG were significantly higher in R.T. with over 15 years of experience or 30 rads of cumulative radiation dose than in the controls. However, there was no correlation between exposure and the frequency of abnormal EBV-associated nuclear antigen (EBNA) antibody titers. The EBV-specific antibody titers of 24 Hiroshima atomic-bomb survivors were also measured. They were similar to those of the R.T. with over 30 years of experience. The EBV-specific antibody titers of R.T. suggest that there may be an impairment of immunologic competence after continuous long-term exposure to low doses of radiation. Also, the correlation of EBV-specific antibody titers and frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations in 53 R.T. was studied. Some correlations were found between the antibody titers to both of the VCA-IgG and EBNA and the frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations.
