Interventions/Control_1

The SNMC group 15 cases

From the day of hospitalization for the operation the first and the third day and week 1, 2, 4 and 8. (Blood collection at the 8th week is not obligatory and lack of data of the 8th week does not make condition of discontinuance.)
Treatment period, usage and dosage: SNMC is obligatory at 100mL/day during hospitalization. After that at least 180mL/week is to be administered. The treatment period will be 8 weeks in total.

Results

Conclusion
The treatment group and non-treatment group was five patients each, total10patients. The treatment group was hospitalized (one week) and received100mL daily injection of SNMC.

Significant difference was observed with ALT and gamma-GTP in the treatment group.

HGF value was higher in the non-treatment group. However, the two groups had different baseline and no significant difference was observed with the rate of decrease. The result, therefore, makes us to conclude that no influence was seen with the HGF value.

Area of RFA ablation was so small as about 3cm GL seemed to have had no effect on the amount of HGF secretion.

SNMC100mL was administered every day after RFA, and no remarkable side effects were observed. As there were no events that prevent treatment by RFA, the results suggested a safe use of 100mL SNMC after the treatment by RFA.
