Chinese Journal of Radiology 2009;43(10):1021-1026
Objective To investigate the characterized imaging in conventional MRI, get information about the metabolites in basal ganglia from proton MR Spectroscopy(~1H-MRS) of acute bilirubin encephalopathy(ABE) and find out the relationship between those changes and bilirubin levels. Methods Twenty-eight patients with acute bilirubin encephalopathy and 15 normal neonates underwent MR and ~1H-MRS examinations T_1 WI, T_2WI and DWI were collected via conventional MRI scanning of all neonates. All patients underwent multi-voxels scanning and 15 of them had single voxel scanning. ~1H-MRS used point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) both in multi-voxels and single voxel scanning. The data of them were acquired from the ROIs placed in basal ganglia and globus pallidus, respectively. The metabolites including NAA choline, Lactate, glutamate and glutamine, myoinositol and creatine were quantitatively analyzed to compare them between the control group and the case group. Equality of variance between patient data and normal values were tested by using the two-tailed t test. The case group was divided into three groups of 342.0 μmol/L < TSB ≤ 427. 5 μmol/L,427.5 μmol/L < TSB ≤ 513.0 μmol/L, TSB > 513.0 μmol/L including 8,9,11 patients, respectively. Analysis of variance was used for statistics. Results Conventional magnetic resonance imaging showed symmetrical high signal of T_1WI in globus pallidus of 23 patients. The case group and the control group were significantly different. Single voxel ~1H-MRS revealed that the relative concentrations of Glx/Gr and mI/Cr in the control group were 0.95±0.23, 0.57±0.20, respectively, While those in case group were 1.45±0.37, 0.74±0.23, respectively. There were significant differences between two groups (t =2. 13,4. 40,P =0.04,0.00 respectively). Multi-voxels scanning 1H-MRS revealed that Glx / Cr were 0.51±0.36 in case group and 0.29±0.18 in control group. There was also a significant difference between two groups (t =2.17,P =0.03). And the values of Cho/Cr, NAA/Cr and Lac/Cr were not significantly different. The results were same in multi-voxels ~1H-MRS. Total bilirubin level and the concentration of metabolites in the brain do not have obvious correlation. Conclusions ABE has a characteristic signature which is symmetrical high signal of T_1 WI in globus pallidus on conventional MBI; The values of mI/Cr and Glx/Cr remarkably increase as detected by ~1H-MRS, which is generally in agreement with what has been known about bilirubin pathology.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of gastroscopic 'sandwich’ injection and sequential laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization in the treatment of gastric variceal bleeding.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 52 patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension combined with gastric variceal bleeding who were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University between March 2011 and October 2019 were collected. There were 33 males and 19 females, aged (63±9)years, with a range of 41-83 years. Of the 52 patients, 31 undergoing gastroscopic 'sandwich’ injection and sequential laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization and 21 undergoing laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization were allocated into sequential group and laparoscopic group, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) complications; (3) changes in gastric varices after treatment; (4) follow-up. Follow-up was performed using telephone interview combined with outpatient examination to detect survival of patients up to December 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed by the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), and comparison between groups was analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Ordinal data was analyzed by nonparametric rank sum test. Results:(1) Surgical situations: patients of sequential group and laparoscopic group underwent surgery successfully. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of the sequential group were (112±16)minutes and (57±11)mL, respectively, versus (103±14)minutes and (55±9)mL of the laparoscopic group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=0.963, 1.052, P>0.05). (2) Complications: 11 patients in the sequential group had postoperative complications including 1 case with perioperative bleeding, 2 cases with postoperative gastrointestinal rebleeding, 4 cases with ascites, 4 cases with portal vein thrombosis. There was no death in the sequential group. Sixteen patients in the laparoscopic group had postoperative complications including 2 cases with perioperative bleeding, 6 cases with postoperative gastrointestinal rebleeding, 4 cases with ascites, 4 cases with portal vein thrombosis. Three patients died in the laparoscopic group. There was no significant difference in the cases with perioperative bleeding or cases with ascites between the two groups ( P>0.05) and no significant difference in the cases with portal vein thrombosis or death between the two groups ( χ2=0.082, 0.082, P>0.05). There was a significant difference in the cases with postoperative gastrointestinal rebleeding between the two groups ( P<0.05). Cases with postoperative gastrointestinal rebleeding, cases with ascites, cases with portal vein thrombosis in the sequential group were cured after the treatment of gastroscopy, low salt diet combined with diuretic or low dose warfarin, respectively. Of the 6 patients with postoperative gastrointestinal rebleeding in the laparoscopic group, 3 were cured after the treatment of gastroscopy and 3 died due to failure to rescue in time. Cases with ascites and cases with portal vein thrombosis in the laparoscopic group were cured after the treatment of low salt diet plus diuretic or low dose warfarin, respectively. (3) Changes in gastric varices after treatment: at postoperative 6 months, 31 patients in the sequential group were diagnosed with negative gastric varices; 15 of 21 patients in the laparoscopic group were diagnosed with negative gastric varices, 3 cases were diagnosed with obvious gastric varices and 3 cases were diagnosed with severe gastric varices. There was a significant difference in the cases with gastric varices between the two groups ( Z=-3.128, P<0.05). At postoperative 12 months, 29 patients in the sequential group and 13 patients in the laparoscopic group were diagnosed with negative gastric variceal. There were 2 patients in the sequential group diagnosed with obvious gastric varices, and 8 patients in the laparoscopic group diagnosed with gastric varices including 3 cases with obvious gastric varices and 5 cases with severe gastric varices. There was a significant difference in the cases with gastric varices between the two groups ( Z=-2.933, P<0.05). Cases with obvious gastric varices in the sequential group were cured after the treatment of gastroscopy. Cases with obvious or severe gastric varices in the laparoscopic group were cured after the treatment of gastroscopy except 1 died due to massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage. (4) Follow-up: 52 patients were followed up for 1-8 years, with a median time of 4 years. All the 31 patients in the sequential group and 18 ptients in the laparoscopic group survived. Conclusion:Gastroscopic 'sandwich’ injection and sequential laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization in the treatment of gastric variceal bleeding has low recurrence rate of varicosity and low incidence of rebleeding.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic splenectomy plus pericardial devascularization combined with gastroscopic (double endoscopy) treatment of patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension presenting with bleeding esophagogastric varices.Methods:To retrospectively analyze 108 patients who presented with bleeding esophageal and gastric varices at the First Hospital of Jiaxing from March 2013 to March 2018. Of 108 patients, there were 61 males and 47 females, with an average age of 61 years. According to the disease and desires of patients and family members, 28 patients underwent laparoscopic splenectomy plus devascularization (the laparoscopic group), 43 endoscopic treatment (the endoscopic group) and 37 double endoscopic treatment (the double endoscopic group). The liver function, renal function, hemoagglutination and degrees of recurrence of the three groups were compared after operation.Results:The renal function, coagulation function, HbA1c in the double endoscopic group was significantly better than that in the other two groups ( P<0.05). In the laparoscopic group, there were 4 patients who presented with rebleeding within 36 months, compared with 3 in the endoscopic group, and no patients in the combined group. At 36 months after operation, gastroscopy performed in the laparoscopic group showed mild varices in 8(28.6%) patients, moderate in 9(32.1%), and severe in 11(39.3%). In the endoscopic group, there were 7(16.3%) patients with mild, 26(60.5%) with moderate, and 10(23.2%) with severe. In the double endoscopic group, there were 32(86.5%) patients with mild and 5(13.5%) with moderate. The degrees of recurrence and postoperative esophageal and gastric varices rebleeding in the double endoscopic group were significantly better than those in the laparoscopic group and the endoscopic group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic combined with endoscopic treatment was more effective in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension who presented with bleeding esophageal varices.

Objective:To explore the application effect of adjustable body position protection belt in patients undergoing not painless colonoscopy.Methods:A randomized and controlled trial was used, a total of 180 patients who planned to undergo not painless colonoscopy in the Endoscopy center, the First Hospital of Jiaxing from January to October 2022 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into the experimental group and the control group by the random number table method, with 90 cases in each group. The control group adopted the traditional method of colonoscopy body position placement, and on this basis, the experimental group used the adjustable body position protection belt to assist the patient body position placement. The maintenance rate of body position in colonoscopy, the cecal intubation time, the degree of intraoperative pain and the acceptance rate of re-examinationunder the same operating doctor and nurse were compared between the two groups.Results:The maintenance rate of body position in colonoscopy was 97.78%(88/90) in the experimental group and 58.89%(53/90) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 37.84, P<0.05). The cecal intubation time was (7.84 ± 4.39) min in the experimental group and (10.13 ± 5.85) min in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( t = 2.98, P<0.05). The intraoperative pain score was 2.96 ± 1.39 in the experimental group and 4.28 ± 1.42 in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( t = 6.31, P<0.05). The acceptance rate for re-colonoscopy was 88.89%(80/90) in the experimental group and 72.22%(65/90) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 7.98, P<0.05). Conclusions:Use of adjustable body position protection belt to assist body position placement before the patients undergoing not painless colonoscopy, it can improve the maintenance rate of body position during not painless colonoscopy, shorten the time of cecal intubation, reduce the intraoperative pain degree, and patients also have a higher willingness to undergo colonoscopy again.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between the environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and lung cancer by Meta-analysis.
METHODSWe used "lung cancer/lung neoplasm", "non-smoking/non-smoker", "China/Chinese", "case-control/case control", "risk factor", "environmental tobacco smoke/passive smoking" as key words, to search papers in databases including Chinese BioMedical Literature (CBM), China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), Wanfang, Vip Citation Databases (VIP), PubMed and Web of Science databases, and collected the case-control studies on ETS and lung cancer among Chinese non-smokers from January 1999 to December 2013. A total of 129 research papers were collected. RevMan 5.2 software was used to calculate combined odds radio (OR) and 95% CI.
RESULTSQualified 18 literatures were included, total cases 6 145 and controls 8 132. Consolidated results showed that ETS exposure could increase the risk of lung cancer, combined OR (95% CI) = 1.52 (1.42-1.64). Stratified analysis showed that ETS exposure was found to be significantly associated with an increasing risk of the lung cancer on non-smoking women and men, and combined OR (95% CI) were 1.58 (1.42-1.75) and 1.34 (1.08-1.65), respectively; the ETS exposure from family or the working environment could increase the risk of lung cancer, and combined OR (95% CI) were 1.48 (1.20-1.82) and 1.38 (1.13-1.69) respectively; childhood exposure and adult exposure were no significant statistical significance, and combined OR (95% CI) were 1.37 (0.98-1.91), and 1.34 (0.97-1.85) respectively.
CONCLUSIONEnvironmental tobacco smoke exposure was a significant risk factor of lung cancer among non-smokers in China.
