Objective To explore the image quality of 3.0 T Magnetic Resonance foot and ankle array coil on Achilles tendon ab-normalities for the clinical application.Methods 26 patients (with Achilles tendon symptoms)and 5 volunteers underwent MR exam-ination.The scanning sequences were used:T1 WI、PDWI、T2 WI-FS and STIR.Image diagnoses and clinical data of all patients were obtained and analyzed.Subjective scores on image quality were used.Degrees of comfort in coil were evaluated.Results 10 patients had Achilles tendon inj ury,6 patients with Achilles tendonitis,3 patients with part Achilles tendon rupture,1 patient with tendon xanthoma,and 6 patients were normal.Image scores in patients with T1 WI、PDWI and T2 WI-FS sequences were higher,the anatom-ic structures,lesions of whole Achilles tendon were clear.On the contrary,the lower scores were in STIR sequences.In the heel, images were distorted,the level of organization was disappeared and signal intensity was increased.The volunteers felt a slight dis-comfort at the coil entrance and support point of the heel.Conclusion Patients using 3.0T foot and ankle array coil for the Achilles tendon scanning could get high image quality and degrees of comfort.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of gastrin?17( G?17) and pepsinogen( PG) for gastric cancer. Methods A multicenter cross?sectional study of patients with continuous stomach discomfort from four centers including Changhai Hospital Affiliated to Second Military Medical University, the First Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University, Qinghai Provincial People′s Hospital and the First Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University of Chinese Medicine from May 2014 to September 2015 was conducted. Before gastroscopy, fasting serum gatrin?17 and pepsinogen were analyzed by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The efficacy of G?17 and PG were evaluated according to endoscopic and pathological results. Results Based on the results of the pathological diagnosis, 1 122 cases were enrolled and divided into chronic atrophic gastritis group ( 548 cases ) , chronic non?atrophic gastritis group ( 370 cases), and gastric cancer group(204 cases). Serum G?17 and PGⅡ levels significantly increased(P<0?05) and PGR significantly decreased( P<0?05) in gastric cancer group compared with other groups. There was no significant difference in PGⅠlevel among three groups. The cut?off value of G?17 to diagnose gastric cancer was 7 pmol/L. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of G?17 for gastric cancer were 59?31%, 70?59%, 68?54%, 30?95% and 88?65% respectively. The cut?off value of PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ( PGR ) to diagnose gastric cancer was 7. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of PGR for gastric cancer were 41?18%, 83?01%, 75?40%, 35?00% and 86?39% respectively. The cut?off value of PGⅡto diagnose gastric cancer was 10 μg/L. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of PGⅡfor gastric cancer were 73?53%, 53?05%, 56?77%, 25?82% and 90?02% respectively. If G?17>7 pmol/L and PGR<7 was regarded as the cut?off value of diagnosis of gastric cancer, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 25?00%, 91?29%, 79?23%, 38?93%and 84?56%respectively. If G?17>7 pmol/L and PGⅡ>10μg/L was regarded as the cut?off value, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 48?04%, 79?74%, 73?98%, 34?51% and 87?35% respectively. If PGR<7 and PGⅡ>10 μg/L was regarded as the cut?off value, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 33?82%, 84?86%, 75?58%, 33?17% and 85?23% respectively. Based on logistic regression analysis of the independent variables of high serum G?17 value(>7 pmol/L), low serum PGR value(<7) and high serum PGⅡvalue(>10 μg/L), their OR value were 2?592, 2?237 and 1?864 respectively, and high serum G?17 value showed the highest risk of gastric cancer. Conclusion High serum G?17 and PGⅡ, low PGR are indicators of gastric cancer. Combination of G?17 and PGR has the best diagnostic value for gastric cacer. Gastric cancer can be screened in large scale by combining G?17 and PGR in order to improve the early diagnostic rate of gastric cancer and reduce the mortality of gastric cancer in our country.

Objective To investigate the donor-related risk factors for long-term biliary complications after liver transplantation (LT) from organ donation by citizens after death.Methods The clinical data of 140 donors who donated the organs after death for LT in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between April 2016 and April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The incidence of long-term biliary complications after LT in the recipients was observed,and the relationship between the incidence and the clinical indexes of the donors was analyzed.The influencing factors for long-term biliary complications after LT were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results The incidence of long-term biliary complications after LT in the recipients was 9.29％ (13/140).The incidence of donation after cardiac death (DCD) group and donation after brain death (DBD) group was 9.68％ (6/62) and 8.97％ (7/78) respectively.There was no significant difference between the two groups.Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed the long-term biliary complications after LT was related with cerebrovascular accident cause,the second warm ischemia time,steatosis of liver,history of cardiopulmonary resuscitation,dosage of dopamine before procurement and hypoproteinemia.Multivariate logistic regression analysis (removing warm ischemia time) revealed the independent influencing factors for long-term biliary complications after LT from organ donation were the second warm ischemia time (OR =1.106,95％ CI:1.034-1.181;P＜0.05),steatosis of liver (OR =5.319,95％ CI:1.020-27.752;P＜0.05) and dosage of dopamine before procurement (OR =1.279,95％ CI:1.021-1.601;P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Postoperative long-term biliary complication is one of the major complications after LT from organ donation.The independent risk factors should be strictly controlled,as the second warm ischemia time,steatosis of liver and dosage of dopamine before procurement are contributed to the incidence of long-term biliary complications.

Purpose: Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B) serves as a key component of autophagy,which is associated with the progression of carcinoma. Yet, it is still unclear whetherLC3B is also an independent risk factor for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). We aimto explore the predictive value of LC3B on prognosis of ICC, and to establish a novel andavailable nomogram to predict relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) for thesepatients after curative-intent hepatectomy. Materials and Methods: From August 2004 to March 2017, 105 ICC patients were eligibly enrolled in the ThirdAffiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Preoperative clinical information of enrolledpatients was collected. Expression LC3B in the ICC specimen was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results: The 5-year RFS and OS in this cohort were 15.7% and 29.6%, respectively. On multivariateCox regression analysis, independent risk factors for 5-year OS were cancer antigen 125,microvascular invasion, LC3B expression and lymph node metastasis. Except for the above4 factors, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and tumor differentiation were independent factorsfor 5-year RFS. The area under the curve of nomograms for OS and RFS were 0.820 and0.747, respectively. Conclusion The nomograms based on LC3B can be considered as effective models to predict postoperativesurvival for ICC patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of early enteral nutrition on the recovery of patients with severe hepatitis after liver transplantation (LT).MethodsThirty-two patients with severe hepatitis undergoing allogeneic orthotopic LT in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between June 2012 and April 2014 were included in this prospective study. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval had been received. The patients were randomized into the enteral nutrition group and the parenteral nutrition group according to the random number table method. Among the 14 patients in the enteral nutrition group, all patients were males with the average age of (42±9) years old. Among the 16 patients in the parenteral nutrition group, 14 were males and 2 were females with the average age of (44±10) years old. Patients in the enteral nutrition group were given warm water and lactulose through gastro-jejunal tube 1 d after LT. Enteral nutritional suspension was offered 2 d after LT and gradually increased to 1 000 ml/d, meanwhile, parenteral nutrition was reduced gradually. Patients in the parenteral nutrition group were given parenteral nutrition. Patients in both groups started normal diet after full recovery of the intestinal function. Venous blood was collected before LT and 1, 10 d after LT to examine hepatic and renal function. The recovery of gastroenteric function, hepatic and renal function and incidence of infection were observed 2 weeks after LT. The comparison of the observed indexes of two groups was conducted usingt test or rank-sum test and the rate comparison was conducted using Fisher's exact test.Results The postoperative recovery time of gastroenteric function of the enteral nutrition group was (6.1±1.4) d, which was significantly shorter than (10.6±3.8) of the parenteral nutrition group (t=-4.21,P<0.05). The median ALT, AST, TB, prealbumin and blood urea-nitrogen (BUN) in the enteral nutrition group 10 d after LT were respectively 106 (50-163) U/L, 62 (27-135) U/L, 67 (35-116) μmol/L, 201 (105-389) mg/L and 12.5 (6.4-18.8) mmol/L, and those in the parenteral nutrition group were respectively 276 (46-716) U/L, 119 (33-447) U/L, 131 (89-391) μmol/L, 162 (103-238) mg/L and 26.1(12.9-37.6) mmol/L. Signiifcant difference was observed (Z=-3.76,-3.15,-4.01, 2.93,-3.79;P<0.05). The incidence of infection of the enteral nutrition group 2 weeks after LT was 43% (6/14), which was signiifcantly lower than 69% (11/16) of the parenteral nutrition group (P<0.05). ConclusionCompared with parenteral nutrition, early enteral nutrition after LT may promote the recovery of gastroenteric function, improve the hepatic and renal function and nutritional situation and reduce the incidence of postoperative infection, which is beneficial to postoperative recovery.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application value of Cylex ImmuKnow immune cell function assay in the postoperative monitoring after liver transplantation (LT).MethodsClinical data of 82 patients undergoing allogeneic orthotopic LT in the Third Afifliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between August 2012 and August 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the patients, 70 were males and 12 were females, with the average age of (48±9) years old. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval was received. The patients were divided into three groups according to the clinical status after LT: the infection group (n=22), stable group (n=43) and acute rejection group (rejection group,n=17). And the healthy control group (control group,n=46) was also set. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level in cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ lymphocyte was detected using Cylex ImmuKnow immune cell function assay, and the ATP contents of patients in different clinical status were analyzed and compared. The testing data of ATP were compared using LSD-t test.ResultsThe ATP content was respectively (212±85),(389±138),(604±105) and (455±94) μg/L in the infection group, stable group, rejection group and control group. The ATP content in the infection group was signiifcantly lower than that in the stable group (LSD-t=-5.2,P<0.05), while the ATP content in the rejection group was signiifcantly higher than that in the stable group (LSD-t=7.4,P<0.05). With ATP content≤225 μg/L as the diagnostic criteria for infection after LT, the sensitivity and speciifcity was 77% and 86% respectively, and Youden index was 0.63. With ATP content≥525 μg/L as the diagnostic criteria for acute rejection after LT, the sensitivity and speciifcity was 71% and 93% respectively, and Youden index was 0.64.ConclusionsCylex ImmuKnow immune cell function assay can simply and quickly detect the immune cell function of the patients, and it has certain value in monitoring and diagnosing infection and acute rejection after LT.
