Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)combined with indwelling catheter-directed thrombolysis for the treatment of portal vein thrombosis(PVT).Methods The clinical efficacy of 307 patients with portal hypertension complicated by PVT,who received successful TIPS combined with indwelling catheter-directed thrombolysis at the Affiliated Beijing Shijitan Hospital of Capital Medical University of China between January 2016 and December 2019,were retrospectively analyzed.Before and after TIPS,the inferior vena cava pressure(IVCP)and portal vein pressure(PVP)were measured,and the pre-TIPS,post-TIPS(before thrombolysis),and post-thrombolysis portal pressure gradient(PPG,PPG=PVP-IVCP)was separately calculated.Reexamination of portal venography DSA was performed to determine the degree of PVT disappearance and whether the shunt was unobstructed.All patients were followed up for one year.Results The pre-TIPS,post-TIPS(before thrombolysis),and post-thrombolysis mean PPG was(24.50±6.91)mmHg,(18.51±5.11)mmHg,and(10.17±3.97)mmHg,respectively.The post-thrombolysis mean PPG was strikingly lower than the pre-thrombolysis values,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).Among the 307 patients,complete disappearance of PVT was observed in 221(72.3%),remarkable reduction of PVT in 86(27.7%),and no invalid result was seen.The patients having complete patency of the shunt flow accounted for 85.7%of the 307 patients(261/307),and the patients having partial patency of the shunt flow accounted for 14.3%of the 307 patients(46/307).Forty-two patients developed complications,and no death occurred.All patients were followed up for one year,and the main clinical symptoms were improved or completely disappeared.Among the 307 patients,an increase in thrombus volume was found in 17(5.5%)when compared to their postoperative values,which returned to the first-time postoperative level after local treatment of the thrombus via the TIPS shunt combined with catheter-directed thrombolysis.Within one year after TIPS and thrombolysis,overt hepatic encephalopathy(OHE)occurred in 54 patients(17.6%,54/307).One patient died of hepatic failure 9 months after TIPS,another patient died of cerebral hemorrhage 11 months after TIPS,and all the remaining patients were alive.Conclusion For patients with portal hypertension complicated by PVT,TIPS combined with indwelling catheter-directed thrombolysis is clinically safe and effective.The standardized,systematic management of the whole therapeutic process should be strengthened.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:22-27)

Invasive fungal disease （IFD） is a deep infectious disease with an overall increasing incidence in patients with hematologic malignancies. Triazoles， polyenes， echinocandins echinocandin antifungal drugs， 5-fluorocytosine and Compound sulfamethoxazole are the main drugs used in the clinical treatment of IFD. Therapeutic drug monitoring for IFD prevention and treatment is helpful to optimize treatment outcomes and reduce adverse effects. In this paper， the effective plasma concentration ranges of the above 5 types of drugs are systematically summarized， and the correlation between the plasma concentration of antifungal drugs and the efficacy and adverse reactions is reviewed. Solid phase extraction combined with ultra-performance chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is a promising detection method in this research field.

Objective Using healthy female reproductive-age rhesus macaques as the research subjects,we explored the correlation between menstrual cycle abnormalities and gut microbiota composition by using 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing.Methods Twenty-seven healthy female rhesus macaques were divided into regular menstrual and irregular menstrual groups.Fecal samples were collected at follicular phase(FP),ovulation phase(OP)and luteal phase(LP)of the two groups.The structure and diversity of bacterial flora in different physiological periods were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results At the phylum level,Firmicutes,Bacteroidetes,and Proteobacteria dominated the sample flora in the follicular,luteal,and ovulatory phases of the rhesus macaques in both the regular and irregular groups,with a combined percentage of more than 98% .At the genus level,the genus Prevotella_9,Ruminococcaceae_UCG-002,Lactobacillus,Prevotella_2,Phascolarctobacterium,Ruminococcaceae_UCG-005,Streptococcus,Blautia,Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group,Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group were dominant.In the luteal phase the percentage of Firmicutes was higher in the regular group than in the irregular group,while the opposite was true for Bacteroidetes.Spirochaetes were higher in the regular group than in the irregular group at all 3 stages(P＜0.05).Conclusion There were some differences in intestinal microbial composition between the two groups of macaques with regular and irregular menstrual cycles,which provided some reference for the study of intestinal bacteria and ovulation disorders.

Objective To investigate the HIV-1 genotype and distribution of newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases in Fujian Province in 2020, so as to provide insights into formulation of the precise AIDS control strategy in the province. Methods Newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases without antiretroviral therapy (excluding AIDS patients) were randomly sampled from each city of Fujian Province in 2020 at a proportion of 50% of the mean number of HIV-infected cases reported across 9 cities of Fujian Province during the past three years. Subjects’ demographic and epidemiological data were collected and blood samples were collected. The HIV-1 pol gene was amplified using nested reverse-transcription PCR assay, and the gene sequences were used for HIV-1 genotyping and phylogenetic analysis. The gene sequences were uploaded to the HIV Drug Resistance Database (http://hivdb.stanford.edu) for genotypic drug resistance assays, and the scores and level of HIV drug resistance were estimated using the HIVDB Algorithm version 9.5. Results A total of 1 043 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases were reported in Fujian Province in 2020, and 936 gene sequences were successfully obtained following sequencing of blood samples. There were 9 HIV-1 genotypes characterized in blood samples from 936 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases, with CRF07_BC (52.1%) and CRF01_AE (30.4%) as predominant subtypes, followed by CRF08_BC (4.9%), CRF55_01B (3.0%), subtype C (2.5%), subtype B (2.1%), CRF85_BC (1.7%), CRF59_01B (0.3%) and CRF65_CPX (0.1%), and unidentified subtypes were found in 26 blood samples. HIV-1 drug resistance was detected in 43 out of the 936 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases, with 4.6% prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance prior to therapy, and the highest drug resistance was found in the HIV CRF59_01B subtype, followed by in CRF08_BC, B, C, CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC and other subtypes, with a significant difference in the genotype-specific prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance (χ² = 45.002, P < 0.05). Conclusions There was a HIV-1 genotype diversity in Fujian Province in 2020, and emerging recombinant and drug-resistant HIV-1 strains were detected and spread across patients and regions. Monitoring of HIV-1 genotypes is recommended to be reinforced for timely understanding of the transmission and spread of novel recombinant and drug-resistant HIV-1 strains.

Depressive disorder ranks as a major bur-den of disease worldwide,yet the current antidepressant medications are limited by frequent non-responsiveness and significant side effects.The lateral septum(LS)is thought to control of depression,however,the cellular and circuit substrates are largely unknown.Here,we identified a subpopulation of LS GABAergic adenosine A2A receptors(A2AR)-positive neurons mediating depres-sive symptoms via direct projects to the lateral habenula(LHb)and the dorsomedial hypothalamus(DMH).Activa-tion of A2AR in the LS augmented the spiking frequency of A2AR-positive neurons leading to a decreased activation of surrounding neurons and the bi-directional manipula-tion of LS-A2AR activity demonstrated that LS-A2ARs are necessary and sufficient to trigger depressive pheno-types.Thus,the optogenetic modulation(stimulation or inhibition)of LS-A2AR-positive neuronal activity or LS-A2AR-positive neurons projection terminals to the LHb or DMH,phenocopied depressive behaviors.Moreover,A2AR are upregulated in the LS in two male mouse mod-els of repeated stress-induced depression.This identifica-tion that aberrantly increased A2AR signaling in the LS is a critical upstream regulator of repeated stress-induced depressive-like behaviors provides a neurophysiological and circuit-based justification of the antidepressant poten-tial of A2AR antagonists,prompting their clinical transla-tion.

OBJECTIVE To extract the effective components of Psoralea corylifolia and evaluate its efficacy in the treatment of vitiligo. METHODS The concentrations of psoralen， isopsoralen， neobavaisoflavone， corylin， psoralidin， corylifolinin， and bakuchiol in P. corylifolia extract were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. Based on the analytic hierarchy process （AHP） and Plackett-Burman design， with the concentrations of the 7 components as evaluation indexes and the crushing degree， ethanol concentration， and soaking time as factors， the extraction process of P. corylifolia was optimized by Box-Behnken response surface methodology and the validation test was conducted. Zebrafish were divided into blank control group， positive control group （8-methoxypsoralen， 10.8 μg/mL）， and low-， medium-， and high-concentration groups of P. corylifolia extract （500， 1 000， 2 000 μg/mL）， with 6 fish in each group. The effects of P. corylifolia extract on the melanin production of zebrafish were studied by density analysis. RESULTS The best extraction process was P. corylifolia powder over 60 meshes and soaked in 80% ethanol for 72 hours. The average comprehensive score of three validation experiments was 98.27， with an RSD of 1.36%， and the relative error was 1.02% compared with the predicted value of the fitting equation （97.28）. Compared with the blank control group， the melanin pigmentation of zebrafish in the low-， medium-， and high-concentration groups of P. corylifolia extract was significantly increased （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS The optimized extraction process of P. corylifolia is reasonable and feasible， and the obtained P. corylifolia extract can significantly promote the production of melanin in zebrafish.

Objective:To evaluate the various wire tension belt ventral compression wiring technologiesfor treating several types of femoral greater trochanter fractures in total hip replacement, according to the different types of greater trochanter of femur fractures.Methods:From March 2013 to June 2019, a total of 1 280 cases of primary total hip arthroplasty were completed in our hospital, 21 patients with greater trochanter fractures were identified in total hip replacement. There were 11 males and 10 females with an average age of 65.81±6.45 years (range 42-76 years). All of them were unilateral. There were 11 cases on the left and 10 cases on the right. There were 11 cases of osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia, 4 cases of hip osteoarthritis, 4 cases of aseptic necrosis of femoral head and 2 cases of femoral neck fracture. Different wire tension belt ventral compression wiring technologies were used for each fracture type. Harris hip function score, Parker activity score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score of hip pain were evaluated during follow-up. X-ray films were taken to evaluate the fracture healing, prosthesis position, loosening and dislocation.Results:Three new fracture types were proposed: A transverse fracture from the greater trochanter tip to the base (4 cases); B oblique fracture from the greater trochanter tip to the base (according to the fracture line direction, type B was further divided into types B1 (4 cases) and B2 (6 cases); and C fracture line from the greater trochanter to subtrochanteric plane (7 cases). Among the 21 patients, one died at an early stage, two were lost during follow-up, and 18 were followed up for an average of 30.7±7.6 months. In 18 patients, the mean operation time was 110.0±20.0 min, and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 356.9±115.7 ml. The patients' Harris score was 35.26±5.52 at the preoperative, 65.7±6.42 at the 3 months after operation, and 87.75±6.21 at the final follow-up. The difference was statistically significant ( F=377.23, P<0.001). The patients' Parker score was 2.17±0.98 at the preoperative, 5.94±1.11 at the 3 months after operation,and 8.01±0.77 at the final follow-up. The difference was statistically significant ( F=170.96, P<0.001). The patients' VAS score was 6.22±1.11 at the preoperative, 2.61±0.92 at the 3 months after operation, and 1.28±0.67 at the final follow-up. The difference was statistically significant ( F=139.71, P<0.001). Deep vein embolism, heterotopic ossification was noted in one and another patient, respectively. The patient with non-union refused reoperation and had a broken steel wire, lower-limb limp, and no notable pain at the 12-month follow-up examination. Radiographs of 17 patients showed good location of the femoral prosthesis and no chronic pain. Conclusion:Different types of greater trochanter fractures in total hip arthroplasty were proposed, using different wire tension belt ventral compression wiring technologies for the various types of femoral greater trochanter fractures during total hip replacement can improve clinical outcomes.

Objective     To evaluate the early clinical effect of reimplantation in the treatment of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) with aortic root aneurysm. Methods     The clinical data of 25 patients with BAV and aortic root aneurysm [mean diameter: 45-63 (52.68±5.55) mm] undergoing reimplantation in West China Hospital from November 2019 to May 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 22 males and 3 females. The mean age was 15-65 (50.00±13.10) years and body surface area was 1.79±0.23 m2. Results    The pathological classification of BAV malformation was confirmed during the operation: Type 0 in 3 patients and Type 1 in 22 patients. There were 12 patients undergoing cusp central plication, and 2 patients were sutured with a closed fusion crest. Postoperative valve leaflet coaptation height was 0.78±0.15 cm, and effective height was 1.27±0.19 cm. In operation, maximum aortic valve flow velocity was 1.65±0.42 m/s, pressure difference was 5.46±3.05 mm Hg, and aortic valve annulus diameter was 21.32±0.95 mm. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 225.84±35.34 min, and aortic block time was 189.60±26.51 min. In-hospital time was 11.64±3.07 d, ICU stay time was 2.64±0.99 d, and mechanical ventilation time was 1.48±0.87 d. The follow-up time was 17.20±4.70 months, and no death or major complications occurred during the follow-up in all patients. The cardiac function of the patients significantly improved postoperatively (P≤0.05). Echocardiography suggested that 12 patients had no aortic regurgitation, 10 minor aortic regurgitation, 3 mild aortic regurgitation, and no patients with moderate or more severe regurgitation. The diameter of the aortic sinus, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and volume decreased during the follow-up, compared to preoperative ones (P≤0.05). The maximum flow velocity of the aortic valve was 1.54±0.36 m/s, and the pressure difference was 5.17±2.38 mm Hg during the follow-up. Conclusion    Reimplantation technology has a good clinical effect for highly selective BAV patients. It can effectively avoid long-term postoperative anticoagulation, but the maximum flow rate after surgery is slightly increased, which may be related to the configuration of BAV itself. While compared with valve replacement, the effect is still worthy of recognition.

OBJECTIVE：To analyze the mass spectrometry fragmentation regularity of bicyclol ，bifendate and schisandrin C ， and to identify the impurities of bicyclol raw material. METHODS ：UHPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS method was adopted. Using electrospray ionization source ，in positive ion mode ，the excimer ion and characteristic fragments of bicyclol ，bifendate and schisandrin C were analyzed by means of TOF-MS. According to the mass change of fragments ，the possible fragmentation pathways were speculated ，and the fragmentation regularity were analyzed and summarized. Bicyclol raw material sample was first separated by liquid chromatography to find the impurity peaks in it ，and then the impurity peaks were analyzed by mass spectrometer；the impurity identification was conducted by combining with the fragmentation regularity. RESULTS ：The 3 compounds all produced [M+H] + excimer ion in the positive ion mode. After collision-induced dissociation ，the C-O bond ，the simple rupture of the C-C bond and the ring-opening cleavage of the oxygen ring occurred ；with the loss of neutral fragments ， mainly CH 2O，supplemented by CO 2，CO and CHO ，the dissociation was concentrated in the middle and high quality regions. C-C and C-O bonds of 3 compounds were simply broken only in the branched chain structure and/or oxygen ring structure ，but the structure of the biphenyl parent nucleus remained unchanged. Among them ，the bicyclol contained a benzyl alcohol structure ，so under acidic mobile phase conditions ，it would exist stably in the form of [M+H －H2O]+. Because schisandrin C contained 8-membered ring structure，ring opening first occurred under collision voltage ，and then neutral fragment loss occurred. The secondary mass spectra of impurity in bicyclol raw material were consistent with the mass spectra fragmentation of secondary fragments of bifendate. CONCLUSIONS：The study summarized mass spectrometry fragmentation regularity of 3 schisandrin derivatives. The impurity in bicyclol raw material may be bifendate.

Objective:To study the changes of food characters in early swallowing recovery in patients with different laryngeal function preservation surgery.Methods:Collected patients with laryngeal cancer hypopharyngeal cancer who underwent laryngeal function preservation surgery in Lihuili Hospital of Ningbo Medical Center from January 2019 to March 2020. By fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) combined with Penetration and Aspiration Scale (PAS), prospectively observed the aspiration and invasion of solid, paste, fluid and other food in the early stage of trial feeding in patients with laryngeal hypopharyngeal cancer undergoing open laryngeal function preservation.Results:Among the 69 patients, 21 had vertical partial laryngectomy and 19 had partial pharyngeal partial laryngectomy. 15 days after the operation, 2 groups of patients after solid and paste food adaptability scored (1.14±0.36), (1.29±0.56) and (2.53±2.04), (2.84±2.31) points, Friedman Mtest for comparison difference had statistical significance ( Mvalues were 23.463 and 22.227, P<0.01); the liquid food for adaptability scored (2.10±1.09), (4.42±2.24) points, the pairwise comparison of liquid, solid and paste showed statistically significant differences ( tvalues were-0.976 to 1.105, P<0.05). The pairwise comparison of the adaptability of the two groups on 20 days after surgery showed no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05).Throat on the cricoid cartilage resection-ring hyoid epiglottis anastomosis (SLCP-CHEP) was 17 cases, laryngeal glottis level partial resection was 12 cases; postoperative 15 days the adaptability on the behavior of three kinds of food grade 2 groups of patients (4.65±1.90), (5.59±1.46), (6.53±1.13) points and (6.67±1.07), (4.50±2.07), (6.92±0.79) points, respectively; Minspection differences were statistically significant ( Mvalues were 29.525, 22.136, P<0.01).The pairwise comparison of solid and paste food in the two groups 20 days after the operation showed no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05), while the difference of liquid and paste was statistically significant ( tvalues were-1.375 to-0.853, P<0.05). Conclusion:In the early recovery of patients undergoing laryngeal function preservation surgery, the vertical group and the partial pharyngeal partial laryngectomy group has better adaptability to solid and paste food. The horizontal group has better adaptability to paste, the CHEP group has better adaptability to solid, and the four groups has the worst adaptability to convection, the recovery time of convective mass between the CHEP group and the horizontal group was longer. To understand the adaptability of patients with different surgical methods to food traits at the early stage of trial feeding can help to implement targeted rehabilitation programs, carry out progressive diet training, and reduce the complications of misinvasion, aspiration, aspiration pneumonia and other complications in the recovery cycle.
