Objective To investigate the risk factors of early rebleeding after endoscopic treatment of esophageal varices. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 384 cirrhotic patients with esophageal varices. The factors of early rebleeding group[n=36(9.4%)]and non?bleeding group(n=348)were compared by single factor analysis and multivariate analysis of Logistic regression. Results Single factor analysis showed that there were differences between the two groups in cirrhosis with hepatocellular carcinoma, Child?Pugh classification, Child?Pugh score, ascites volume, portal vein thrombosis, portal vein width, portal hypertensive gastropathy, shapes and numbers of varicose veins, numbers of varicose vein ligation, varicose vein red syndrome, albumin, total bilirubin, prothrombin time, prothrombin activity and platelet number. Further multivariate analysis showed that mass ascites(P=0.000, OR=7.614,95%CI: 3.590?16.147), portal vein thrombosis(P=0.003, OR=2.867, 95%CI: 1.429?5.750),portal hypertensive gastropathy(P=0.000, OR=6.212, 95%CI: 3.036?12.711), and Child?Pugh C(P=0.008,OR=3.078,95%CI:1.338?7.083)were independent risk factors of early rebleeding after endoscopic treatment. Conclusion The early rebleeding rate was high after endoscopic treatment of esophageal varices. Patients with massive ascites,portal vein thrombosis,portal hypertensive gastropathy and Child?Pugh C should be highly vigilant for early rebleeding.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal gastric perforation, and the factors influencing prognosis.Methods:This was a retrospective analysis involving 49 neonatal gastric perforation cases who underwent surgical treatment in the Neonatal Surgery Department of Shanxi Children's Hospital from January 2008 to December 2017. Their clinical data, including manifestations, auxiliary examinations, operations, and prognosis, were analyzed. According to the prognosis, these patients were divided into two groups, survival group, and fatality group. Independent sample t-test or continuity correction Chi-square (or Fisher's exact) test was used for statistical analysis. Results:(1) Of the 49 cases, 29 (59.2%) were boys, and 20 (40.8%) were girls. There were 30 (61.2%) premature and 19 (38.8%) full-term babies. Their birth weight ranged between 1 010 and 5 000 g with an average of (2 450±700) g. Low birth weight infants accounted for 59.2% (29/49). There were 11 cases (22.4%) having perinatal adverse events, 17 (34.7%) complicated by septic shock before the operation, and six (12.2%) with digestive tract malformation. Two cases (4.1%) underwent resuscitation due to postnatal asphyxia; two (4.1%) received mechanical ventilation due to respiratory distress syndrome; 12 (24.5%) received indwelling were indwelled gastric tube or gastric lavage. (2) The average onset time of neonatal gastric perforation in the 49 cases was (3.8±2.0) d after birth, and 47(95.9%) of them presented initial symptoms within one week, including 36 within four days. Twenty-five cases (51.0%) were operated within 12 h after the onset. (3) The common first symptoms include abdominal distention [69.4% (34/49)] and abdominal distension complicated with vomiting (24.5%, 12/49). Thirty-nine cases (79.6%) showed a large amount of free gas under the diaphragm, compressed and down-moving liver, and decreased or disappeared stomach bubble in the preoperative abdominal radiograph. (4) All cases received emergency laparotomy and primary gastric wall repair after admission. During the operation, 27 (55.1%) of all the cases had perforation at the greater curvature, five (10.2%) at the lesser curvature, 14 (28.6%) at the anterior wall, and three (6.1%) at the posterior wall. Perforation larger than 3 cm in diameter was found in 33 cases (67.3%). Three cases (6.1%) had postoperative wound infection; two (4.1%) developed anastomotic leakage; one was complicated by pneumohydrothorax 48 h after the operation due to esophageal duplication and perforation, which was confirmed by a second operation. (5) Of the 49 cases, 35 (71.4%) were due to congenital gastric wall muscular defect, four (8.2%) were caused by iatrogenic injury, and 10 (20.4%) were spontaneous perforation. (6) Among all cases, 36 (73.5%) survived, while eight (16.3%) died, and five (10.2%) withdraw treatment after the operation. After excluding the five cases giving up treatment after the operation, the proportion of patients who underwent operation within 12 h after onset or had the perforation <3 cm in diameter was higher in the survival group than in the fatality group [61.1% (22/36) vs. 1/8, χ2=4.404, P<0.05; 41.7% (15/36) vs. 0/8, P<0.05], and the incidence of septic shock before the operation was lower [22.2% (8/36) vs. 6/8, χ2=6.147, P<0.05]. Conclusions:Neonatal gastric perforation shows a high mortality rate, and its underlying pathologic etiology is congenital gastric wall muscle defect. Abrupt abdominal distension is the main clinical manifestation. Early operation is critical to improving neonatal prognosis.

Objective:To summarize the imaging features of severe unilateral transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus thromboses, and evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravascular interventional therapy in them.Methods:Thirty-seven patients with severe unilateral transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus thromboses clinically mainly manifested as intracranial hypertension and accepted endovascular intervention in Department of Interventional Radiology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2012 to September 2022 were chosen; their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and imaging features were summarized. Short-term efficacy was evaluated according to blood flow restoration degrees and pressure gradient reduction in the occlusive sinus and modified neurological symptoms before and after endovascular intervention. Hospitalized complications were observed; safety and long-term efficacy were evaluated according to postoperative clinical follow-up and imaging results 6-12 months after endovascular intervention.Results:(1) Preoperative brain MRI and (or) CT showed different degrees of swelling of the brain tissues, with the affected side as the target; mixed signals/density shadow could be seen in the blocked transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus; venous cerebral infarction or post-infarction cerebral hemorrhage could be combined in some patients. MRV, CTV and DSA showed poor or completely occluded transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus while normal in the contralateral side; obvious thrombus filling-defect was observed in the occluded venous sinus after mechanical thrombolysis. (2) Occlusive sinus blood flow was restored in all patients after endovascular intervention, and pressure gradient of the occlusive segment decreased from (16.6±3.3) mmHg before to (2.8±0.8) mmHg after endovascular intervention. Before discharge, clinical symptoms of all patients were significantly improved (modified Rankin scale [mRS] scores of 0 in 30 patients, 1 in 5 patients, 2 in 1 patient and 3 in 1 patient), and 2 patients had unilateral limb movement disorder (muscle strength grading III and IV, respectively). All patients received clinical follow-up for (9.6±3.0) months. At the last follow-up, neurological function obviously improved compared with that before endovascular intervention, without new neurosystem-related symptoms (mRS scores of 0 in 30 patients, 1 in 6, and 2 in 1 patient). In 34 patients received MRV or DSA follow-up, 28 had complete recanalization of occlusive sinus and 6 had partial recanalization, without obvious stenosis or recurrent occlusion.Conclusions:Severe unilateral transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus thrombosis can cause local intracranial venous blood stasis, and then cause "increased regional venous sinus pressure", which is manifested as unilateral brain tissue swelling and even venous cerebral infarction or post-infarction cerebral hemorrhage. Early diagnosis and endovascular intervention can obviously improve the prognosis of these patients, enjoying good safety.

COVID-19 is caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Current systemic vaccines generally provide limited protection against viral replication and shedding within the airway. Recombinant VSV (rVSV) is an effective vector which inducing potent and comprehensive immunities. Currently, there are two clinical trials investigating COVID-19 vaccines based on VSV vectors. These vaccines were developed with spike protein of WA1 which administrated intramuscularly. Although intranasal route is ideal for activating mucosal immunity with VSV vector, safety is of concern. Thus, a highly attenuated rVSV with three amino acids mutations in matrix protein (VSVMT) was developed to construct safe mucosal vaccines against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. It demonstrated that spike protein mutant lacking 21 amino acids in its cytoplasmic domain could rescue rVSV efficiently. VSVMT indicated improved safeness compared with wild-type VSV as the vector encoding SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. With a single-dosed intranasal inoculation of rVSVΔGMT-SΔ21, potent SARS-CoV-2 specific neutralization antibodies could be stimulated in animals, particularly in term of mucosal and cellular immunity. Strikingly, the chimeric VSV encoding SΔ21 of Delta-variant can induce more potent immune responses compared with those encoding SΔ21 of Omicron- or WA1-strain. VSVMT is a promising platform to develop a mucosal vaccine for countering COVID-19.
