Objective To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis of ischemie-type biliary lesion (ITBL) after liver transplantation. Methods Twenty-five liver transplantation recipients suspected with biliary complications were examined using CEUS. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography confirmed the diagnosis. The enhancement patterns of the thickened hilum bile duct wall were observed. Results Enhancement patterns of bile duct wall could be divided into 3 sorts:① No-enhancement, six cases, showed no-enhancement all along. ②Hypo-enhancing level, four cases, presented hypo-enhancing at arterial phase and persistent hypo- or no-enhancing until late phase. ③Hyper-enhaneing level,fifteen cases,appeared as hyper- or iso-enhancing at arterial phase and persistent iso- or hypo-enhancing until late phase. The enhancement pattern of bile duct wall showed significant difference ( P = 0.00). Thirteen ITBL patients included 10 cases ( 76.9 % ) with no- or hypo-enhaneement, 3 patients (23.1 % ) with hyper-enhancement. However, all of 12 non-ITBL cases appeared hyper-enhancing. Conclusions CEUS provides a new and effective method to estimate the microcirculation of the bile duct wall. It may be help to early diagnosis of ITBL.

Objective:To clarify the elements of post competency of public health professionals and technical personnel, and construct a post competency index system of public health professionals and technical personnel.Methods:Referring to the Hay Group Competency Dictionary and literature review method, the post competency information elements of public health professional and technical personnel were constructed, and were revised through the expert consultation method. Unit-level stratified sampling was used, and 120 public health professionals were invited to evaluate the importance of the elements. SPSS 26.0 was used for data analysis, the continuous data were expressed in ( x ± s) mode, and Pearson was used to study the degree of correlation of each dimension. Finally, the post competency index system for public health positions was constructed by using the factor analysis method to extract the common factor as the first-level index. Results:The index system contained 7 first-level indicators (43 items), including public health practice skills, clinical practice skills, professional basic subject knowledge, personal professional accomplishment, public health authority and management ability, public health leadership, and public health methodology knowledge. Its weight coefficients (%) were 20.03, 17.48, 15.89, 15.68, 13.98, 12.82 and 4.11, respectively. The elements with the highest materiality scores were personal protection, responsibility and professionalism.Conclusion:Personal protection and other public health practical skills and personal professional qualities such as sense of responsibility and professionalism are the core elements of public health positions, and it is recommended to strengthen the training of public health professionals' public health practical skills in actual work, and pay attention to the cultivation of personal professional qualities, so as to establish a better team of public health talents.

There are two source plants for the traditional Chinese medicine Murrayae Folium et Cacumen (MFC) in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, i.e. Murraya exotica L. and M. paniculata (L.) Jack. Herein, a chemical comparison of M. exotica and M. paniculata by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint analysis coupled with chemometrics and network pharmacology was performed. The main peaks in the fingerprints were identified by liquid chromatography coupled with ion trap/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-IT-TOF-MS) and authenticated by references. The chemometrics results showed that the HPLC fingerprints of these two species were clearly divided into two categories using hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA), and a total of 13 significantly differentiated markers were screened out by orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). However, the following network pharmacology analysis showed that these discriminated markers were found to act via many common targets and metabolic pathways, indicating the possibly similar pharmacological effects and mechanisms for M. exotica and M. paniculata. The above results provide valuable evidence for the equivalent use of these two plants in clinical settings. Moreover, the chromatographic fingerprint analysis coupled with chemometrics and network pharmacology supplies an efficient approach for the comparative analysis of multi-source TCMs like MFC.
