Objective To study the usefulness of oral contrast-enhanced helical CT cholangiography in the diagnosis and treatment for bile duct diseases.Methods 18 cases of suspected bile duct diseases were studied. The dose of iopanoic acid was 6.0 gram (n=5), 3.0 gram (n=10) and 1.0 gram (n=3). CT scan was performed 12~14 h after administration. Reformatted 2D and 3D MIP images were got from axial source images. The opacified degree of bile duct was described as no opacification, light opacification, well opacification or overopacification . The findings of CT chonlangiography were compared with pathological and/or clinical results . Results (1) The dose ofiopanoic acid could effect the opacified degree of bile duct. It should be more than 6.0 gram to investigate intrahepatic bile duct, and 3.0gram should be enough to investigate extrahepatic bile duct; (2) Intra- and extrahepatic bile duct anatomy could be display clearly,especially the extrahepatic duct. Function of bile duct system, relations between lesion and bile duct, and the obstructed degree of bile duct could be revealed too. Sensitivity was 80% in diagnosis of negative gallstone and gallpolypus . Sensitivity was 88.9% and specificity was 100% in diagnosis of negative gall-stone in general bile duct ; (3) 2D and 3D MIP reconstructions displayed the spatiality of bile duct better.Conclusion Oral contrast-enhanced helical CT cholangiography is feasible and noninvasive. It is a well method in revealling the bile duct anatomy and diagnosing the bile duct lesions, and is useful for bile duct operations.

700 mL/min).Conclusion The CLh-s could be correlated with operation complications,and be considered as an effective supplement to evaluate hepatic functional reserve when combined with ICGR15 and Child-Pugh classification. It could be used to evaluate liver functional reserve more effectively and reliably.

Objective To explore the preparation and identification of amyloid-β protein 1-42 (Aβ1-42) oligomers and their effect on in vitro cultured astrocytes in mice.Methods (1) Aβ1-42peptides were dissolved and 100 μ mol/L Aβ1-42 polypeptide was chosen as mother liquor;and then,they were incubated under different conditions (4 ℃ for 24 h,4 ℃ for 72 h,37 ℃ for 24 h and 37 ℃ for 72 h);the form of Aβ-42 was observed under electron microscope and the degrees of Aβ1-42 polymerization were detected by Western blotting.(2) Aβ1-42 oligomers of different concentrations (Aβ1-42 polypeptide as mother liquor being incubated under condition of 4 ℃ for 24 h) were added into the in vitro cultured astrocytes;CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effects ofAβ1-42 oligomers (0,0.1,0.5,1,5,10,50,and 100 μmol/L) on astrocytic viability;after 0,1,10,and 50 μmol/L Aβ1-42 oligomers treatment,immunofluorescence was employed to detect the morphological changes of astrocytes and Western blotting was used to detect the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) expressions.Results (1) Different forms and degrees of polymerization of Aβ1-42 could be observed by electron microscope and Western blotting:100 μmol/L Aβ1-42 polypeptides could induce 10 nm granulated mixture of Aβ1-42 oligomers at 4 ℃ incubation for 24 h;proteins with relative molecular mass of 10 000 had decreased expression,and those of 15 000-25 000 had increased expression.(2) Twenty-four h after Aβ1-42oligomers treatment,the viability of astrocytes was increased gradually:as compared with the 0 μmol/L Aβ1-42 oligomer treatment group,the 10,50 and 100 μmol/L Aβ1-42 oligomer treatment groups had significantly increased viability of astrocytes (P＜0.05);immunofluorescent staining indicated that as compared with the 0 μmol/L Aβ1-42 oligomer treatment group,the one,10,and 50 μmol/L Aβ1-42 oligomer treatment groups had activated astrocytes:enlarged soma,increased cell processes and increased GFAP fluorescence intensity were noted;Western blotting indicated that following the increased oligomer concentrations,the protein expressions of GFAP and AQP4 increased:as compared with the 0 μmol/L Aβ1-42 oligomer treatment group,the 10 and 50 μmol/L Aβ1-42 oligomer treatment groups had significantly increased GFAP protein expression (P＜0.05);and as compared with the 0 μmol/L Aβ1-42 oligomer treatment group,the one,10,and 50 μmol/L Aβ1-42 oligomer treatment groups had significantly increased AQP4 protein expression (P＜0.05) Conclusions The Aβ1-42 oligomers could be prepared with 100 μmol/L peptide under 4 ℃ for 24 h.Aβ1-42 oligomers could activate astrocytes and up-regulate the AQP4 expression,which might be a self protective mechanism.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic performance of ultrasound attenuation imaging (ATI) in grading the degree of hepatic steatosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).Methods:The liver gray-scale ultrasound and ATI examinations were performed on 212 subjects who were treated in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from August 2020 to March 2021. The attenuation coefficient(AC) values among different degrees of hepatic steatosis were analyzed and the diagnostic performance of ATI was evaluated. Relationships between AC values and clinical characteristics were assessed by Pearson′s correlation analysis.Results:The AC values for normal liver, mild, moderate and severe fatty liver were (0.56±0.05)dB·cm -1·MHz -1, (0.68±0.09)dB·cm -1·MHz -1, (0.82±0.09)dB·cm -1·MHz -1, (0.94±0.09)dB·cm -1·MHz -1, respectively. There were significant differences in AC values among different hepatic steatosis divisions( P<0.008). There was highly significant correlation between AC values and the degree of hepatic steatosis( r=0.860, P<0.01), moderate correlation between AC values and BMI( r=0.425, P<0.01), weak correlation between AC values and HDL-C( r=-0.237, P=0.029), no correlations between AC values and age, TC, TG, LDL-C ( r=0.083, 0.055, 0.133, -0.039, all P>0.05) .The areas under the receiver operating characteristics curve of ATI for mild fatty liver and above, moderate fatty liver and above, severe fatty liver and above were 0.958, 0.962, 0.918; the sensitivity were 90.1%, 95.8%, 94.9%, the specificity were 96.1%, 87.1%, 73.9%, and the cut-off values were 0.666 dB·cm -1·MHz -1, 0.719 dB·cm -1·MHz -1, 0.803 dB·cm -1·MHz -1, respectively. Conclusions:ATI is a reliable and convenient method for evaluating the degree of hepatic steatosis in MAFLD.
