Objective To study the influence of different contrast injection skills in interstitial magnetic resonance lymphography( IMRL) of breast cancer, and standardize the IMRL contrast injection process. Methods A total of 36 patients with invasive breast cancer were ran-domly divided into four groups. The imaging time of different contrast agent dose and local massage time on sentinel lymph node ( SLN) were analyzed. According to the results, the best contrast injection methods technology program was choosed. Results For the same massage time, different contrast agent doses showed no significant difference in the SLN imaging time (P>0. 05);For same contrast agent dose, dif-ferent massage time showed significant statistically different SLN imaging time(P<0. 05). Conclusion In clinical work, IMRL with a con-trast agent injection dose of 0. 5 mL/person, local massage 1 min after injection can successfully achieve the lymphatic system image of breast cancer.

Objective To explore the value of dual energy CT displaying knee joint torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Methods Ten cases with single knee joint torn PCL were scanned by 1.5 TMR and dual energy CT. By the use of postprocessing technique of muhiplanar reformation (MPR) and volume rendering technique (VRT), the CT value,length,thickness of PCL were assessed by paired t test respectively. Results MPR and VRT clearly displayed the PCL. The CT value of the patient sides and normal sides were(60.10±3.21), (72.98±7.35) HU(t=4.33,P=0.006), the length were(4.42±0.56),(4.14±0.49) cm (t=-1.20,P=0.285), the thickness of the attachment site and middle sire were (0.88±0.19), (0.58±0.10), (0.38±0.12) cm and (0.43±0.07), (0.39±0.03), (0.43±0.12) cm (t=-6.89,P=0.001;t=-4.38,P=0.007;t=0.85,P=0.587) respectively. Conclusion Dual energy CT can demonstrate clearly the ligament with three-dimension display,and may provide important information for diagnosis and per-surgical evaluation.

Objective To analyze the clinical values of super early enteral nutrition combined with microecopharmaceutics and delayed enteral nutrition on patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Clinical data of thirty patients diagnosed as severe acute pancreatitis in our emergency department during January 2013 and December 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were divided into the treatment group (n=15, patients given enteral nutrition combined with microecopharmaceutics within 24 h after admission) and the control group (n=15, patients given delayed enteral nutrition after 48 h of admission). Two weeks after the treatment, the serum variables of C-reactive protein, total protein, albumin, recovery time of urine and blood amylase, length of hospital stay and APACHE Ⅱ score were compared between the two groups by using paired samples t test. Results The C-reactive protein [(46.7±13.1) mg/L vs. (190.72±19.3) mg/L, t=10.4, P<0.01] and APACHE Ⅱ score [(7.2±1.9) vs.(9.3±2.4),t=2.7,P<0.05] of the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The total protein [(58.1±6.3)g/L vs.(52.6±5.4)g/L, t=2.5, P<0.05] and albumin [(29.9±3.2)g/L vs.(22.0±2.8)g/L, t=7.12, P<0.01] of the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The recovery time of urine amylase [(13.2±2.1)d vs.(18.7±3.9)d, t=4.9, P<0.01] and blood amylase [(7.5±3.0)d vs.(11.1±3.4)d, t=3.1, P<0.01], and length of hospital stay[(14.9±4.5)d vs.(27.1±5.3)d, t=6.9, P<0.01] were significantly shorter in the treatment group compared with those in the control group. Conclusions Ultra-early enteral nutrition combined with microecopharmaceutics can shorten the length of hospital stay of patients with severe acute pancreatitis, and is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the target blood pressure level of restrictive fluid resuscitation in patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Methods Sixty patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2016 to December 2018 were enrolled. All patients were resuscitated with sodium acetate ringer solution after admission. According to the difference of mean arterial pressure (MAP) target, the patients were divided into low MAP (60 mmHg ≤ MAP < 65 mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), middle MAP (65 mmHg ≤ MAP < 70 mmHg) and high MAP (70 mmHg ≤ MAP < 75 mmHg) groups by random number table using the admission order with 20 patients in each group. Those who failed to reach the target MAP after 30-minute resuscitation were excluded and supplementary cases were deferred. The restrictive fluid resuscitation phase was divided into three phases: before fluid resuscitation, liquid resuscitation for 30 minutes and 60 minutes. The most suitable resuscitation blood pressure level was further speculated by monitoring the inflammatory markers and hemodynamics in different periods in each group of patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to detect the correlation of variables. Results Before fluid resuscitation, there was no significant difference in hemodynamics or expressions of serum cytokines among the three groups. Three groups of patients were resuscitated for 30 minutes to achieve the target blood pressure level and maintain 30 minutes. With the prolongation of fluid resuscitation time, the central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI) were increased slowly in the three groups, and reached a steady state at about 30 minutes after resuscitation, especially in the high MAP group and the middle MAP group. The expressions of serum inflammatory factors in the three groups were gradually increased with the prolongation of fluid resuscitation time. Compared with the low MAP group and the high MAP group, after 30 minutes of resuscitation the middle MAP group was superior to the other two groups in inhibiting the expressions of pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and promoting anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 [TNF-α mRNA (2-ΔΔCt):0.21±0.13 vs. 0.69±0.34, 0.57±0.35; IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 0.35±0.31 vs. 0.72±0.39, 0.59±0.42; IL-10 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.25±0.81 vs. 0.61±0.46, 0.82±0.53; all P < 0.05], but there was no significant difference in promoting the expression of IL-4 mRNA among three groups. At 60 minutes of resuscitation, compared with the low MAP group and the high MAP group, the middle MAP group could significantly inhibit the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6 and promote IL-10 [TNF-α mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 0.72±0.35 vs. 1.05±0.54, 1.03±0.49; IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 0.57±0.50 vs. 1.27±0.72, 1.01±0.64; IL-10 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.41±0.90 vs. 0.81±0.48, 0.94±0.61; all P < 0.05]. Compared with the high MAP group, the middle MAP group had significant differences in promoting the expression of IL-4 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt: 1.32±0.62 vs. 0.91±0.60, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in serum cytokine expressions at different time points of resuscitation between the low MAP group and the high MAP group (all P > 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that there was a strong linear correlation between MAP and mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 in the middle MAP group (r value was 0.766, 0.719, 0.692, respectively, all P < 0.01), but had no correlation with IL-4 (r = 0.361, P = 0.059). Fitting linear regression analysis showed an increase in 1 mmHg per MAP, the expression of TNF-α mRNA increased by 0.027 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.023-0.031, P < 0.001], IL-6 mRNA increased by 0.021 (95%CI = 0.017-0.024, P < 0.001), and IL-10 mRNA increased by 0.049 (95%CI = 0.041-0.058, P < 0.001). Conclusions When patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock received restrict fluid resuscitation at MAP of 65-70 mmHg, the effect of reducing systemic inflammatory response and improving hemodynamics is better than the target MAP at 60-65 mmHg or 70-75 mmHg. It is suggested that 65-70 mmHg may be an ideal target MAP level for restrictive fluid resuscitation.

Objective To report the spontaneous remission and induced remission of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)-associated idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in adults,as well as to explore the potential prognostic factors.Methods A total of 120 patients with IMN in Huashan Hospital during 2012 and 2017 were enrolled and their clinical data were collected.Results PLA2R-associated IMN patients accounted for 89.2％ of the IMN patients.Spontaneous remission occurred in 35.5％ of PLA2R-associated IMN patients.The patients with higher serum albumin and lower level of PLA2R antibody were more likely to achieve spontaneous remission (both P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male was an independent risk factor for spontaneous remission in PLA2R-associated IMN patients (OR=0.060,95％CI 0.007-0.493,P=0.009),while higher serum albumin at baseline (OR=1.480,95％ CI 1.144-1.932,P=0.004) and the improvement of serum albumin after 3 months' non-immunosuppressive treatment (OR=2.040,95％CI 1.322-3.151,P=0.001) were independent protective factors for spontaneous remission.About 42.1％ PLA2R-associated IMN patients had received immunosuppressive therapy,with induced remission rate being 70.7％.High serum albumin before treatment was an independent protective factor for induced remission (OR=1.268,95％ CI 1.014-1.585,P=0.038).Conclusions PLA2R-associated IMN accounts for most of the IMN patients,with a spontaneous remission rate of 35.5％,during the follow-up period,which is even higher in patients with higher baseline serum albumin and lower PLA2R antibody titer.Induced remission rate is 70.7％ in patients in need of immunosuppresants.The serum albumin level may be helpful in predicting spontaneous remission and response to immunosuppressive therapy.

Soft tissue defects resulting from head and neck tumor resection seriously impact the physical appearance and psychological well-being of patients. The complex curvature of the human head and neck poses a formidable challenge for maxillofacial surgeons to achieve precise aesthetic and functional restoration after surgery. To this end, a normal head and neck volunteer was selected as the subject of investigation. Employing Gaussian curvature analysis, combined with mechanical constraints and principal curvature analysis methods of soft tissue clinical treatment, a precise developable/non-developable area partition map of the head and neck surface was obtained, and a non-developable surface was constructed. Subsequently, a digital design method was proposed for the repair of head and neck soft tissue defects, and an in vitro simulated surgery experiment was conducted. Clinical verification was performed on a patient with tonsil tumor, and the results demonstrated that digital technology-designed flaps improved the accuracy and aesthetic outcome of head and neck soft tissue defect repair surgery. This study validates the feasibility of digital precision repair technology for soft tissue defects after head and neck tumor resection, which effectively assists surgeons in achieving precise flap transplantation reconstruction and improves patients' postoperative satisfaction.
