Inhibitory effect of dimeric β peptide on the recurrence and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro and in mice

Table 1 The inhibitory effects of β2 on the invasion ability of HCCLM6 cells (n = 5)

Group	Mean of invaded cell (SD)	Invasion inhibitory rate (%)
Control group	19.30 (9.3)	-
β2 group	12.20 (6.2)	36.80%

Table 2 Liver cancer recurrences in incisal margins in nude mouse models after early resection

Group	Number of mice tested	Mean weight of recurrent lesion (g) (SD)	Number of mice with recurrent lesion
Control group	6	2.31 (0.64)	6
β2 group	6	0.50 (0.41)a	4

^aP < 0.05 vs control group.
