Objective:To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of transcystic injection of indocyanine green during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) surgery in the treatment of patients with gallbladder stones combined with liver cirrhosis.Methods:The clinical data of 96 patients with cirrhosis who underwent LC for gallbladder stones with cholecystitis attacks in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of the Second People′s Hospital of Changzhou City from January 2018 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were diagnosed by clinical history and auxiliary examination before surgery and underwent cholecystectomy according to their groups, which were divided into fluorescence group ( n=49) and white light group ( n=47) according to whether ICG was used or not, where the fluorescence group underwent LC in fluorescence mode after direct intraoperative injection of ICG via gallbladder. The two groups were compared in terms of identification time of the three tubes, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative injury, intraoperative open abdomen and blood transfusion, postoperative drainage time, postoperative hospitalization time, postoperative complications and changes in infection and liver function indexes before and after surgery. The measurement data obeying normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation( ± s), and independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups. The measurement data obeying the skewed distribution were expressed by M( Q1, Q3), and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were expressed as rates (%), and the chi-square test or Fisher′s exact probability method was used for comparison between groups. Results:The procedure was successfully performed in both groups, and the identification of triple-tube time, operative time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative drainage time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative ALT, postoperative GGT, and postoperative TBIL in the fluorescent group were (14.96±1.49) min, (52.14±7.36) min, 5(5, 10) mL, (1.61±0.61) d, (2.37±0.49) d, 31.5(22.0, 44.8) U/L, 38.0(21.0, 91.5) U/L, 18.0(11.5, 22.8) μmol/L, and (29.87±3.37) min, (84.36±13.25) min, 10(10, 20) mL, (2.70±0.69) d, (3.15±0.42) d, 45.0(28.0, 64.8) U/L, 73.0(32.0, 132.0) U/L, 23.0(16.1, 29.3) μmol/L in the white light group and the differences were statistically significant compared with the two groups( P<0.05). In the fluorescence group, there was no intraoperative injury and no cases of intraoperative opening, and there were 2 cases of postoperative complications, while in the white light group, there were 2 cases of intraoperative injury, 1 case of intraoperative opening, and 5 cases of postoperative complications, and there were no cases of blood transfusion in both groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the fluorescence group and the white light group when comparing the preoperative laboratory indexes of both groups ( P>0.05). When comparing the first postoperative white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase indexes in the fluorescence group and the white light group, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:When LC is performed in patients with symptomatic gallbladder stones combined with cirrhosis, intraoperative injection of indocyanine green via the gallbladder to visualize the gallbladder and bile duct structures is simple and easy to perform, and the safe and efficient dissection of extrahepatic bile ducts and gallbladder bed speeds up the procedure while reducing postoperative trauma.

In the era of precision medicine, compared with open surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has the advantages of less trauma, less postoperative complications and shorter hospital stay, but it cannot escape the risk of bile duct injury, and bile duct injury can occur at any time for various reasons, and its unpredictability greatly increases the difficulty of surgery. Although traditional cholangiography can avoid bile duct injury, it has not been widely used due to its limitations such as time consuming, high cost, high radiation and so on. Early indocyanine green has been widely used in lymph node examination, angiography, tumor localization and treatment due to its characteristics. Now, indocyane green fluorescence imaging technology has been gradually applied in LC, which can dynamically reflect the intraoperative situation and realize real-time surgical navigation, so it has achieved ideal effects in the identification of duct structure and prevention of bile duct injury. Indocyanine green injection preoperatively or intraoperatively through the gallbladder to develop extrahepatic bile ducts significantly improves the safety rate of surgery, but there is no unified standard for the use time and dosage of inddocyanine green. In this paper, the time and dose selection and clinical value of indocyanine green were reviewed based on the current research status and the author's experience.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of intraoperative intravenous injection of indocyanine green in differentiating extrahepatic bile duct structure in chronic atrophic cholecystitis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 110 patients diagnosed with chronic AC who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) admitted to the Department of Hepatobiliary and pancreatic Surgery of Changzhou Second People′s Hospital from January 2020 to July 2021. All patients were confirmed by abdominal B-ultrasound before surgery. The patients in the experimental group were divided into experimental group ( n=55) and control group ( n=55) according to whether indocyanine green was intravenously injected during the operation. The experimental group was intravenously injected with 5 mg indocyanine green during the operation, and LC was navigated by indocyanine green fluorescence imaging technique during the operation. The control group received routine LC. The imaging rate and imaging time of the cystic duct, common bile duct, and common hepatic duct in the experimental group were compared. The clinical data, identify three tube time, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, abdominal cavity drainage placement and extubation time, transfer laparotomy and bile duct injury, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative first review of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glutamine transferase (GGT) of leveling and follow-up were compared between the two groups. The measurement data subject to normal distribution were expressed by Mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the two groups were compared by independent sample t test. The measurement data of skewness distribution were described by M( Q1, Q3)and the manhui method in nonparametric test was used Mann-whitney U test.The chi-square test or Fisher′s exact probability method was used for comparison between groups of count data. Results:Operation was performed successfully in both groups. In the experimental group, the common hepatic duct, common bile duct and gallbladder duct were developed successfully in all patients, 54 cases and 52 cases respectively, and the developing time of the three tubes was (15.8±1.2) min. In the experimental group, the time of three tubes, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and abdominal drainage tube placement were (18.5±1.3) min, (64.0±6.8) min, (16.3±6.7) mL, 43 cases, respectively. In the control group, there were (46.3±8.1) min, (98.7±10.5) min, (53.6±14.9) mL and 55 cases, respectively. The experimental group was significantly lower than the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P< 0.05). There was no case of conversion to laparotomy and bile duct injury in the experimental group, and 1 case of conversion to laparotomy and 1 case of bile duct injury in the control group, and there was no statistical significance between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were significant differences in postoperative extubation time and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups ( P<0.05). ALT and GGT levels were 47(31, 75) U/L and 38(19, 114) U/L in the experimental group and 62(53, 92) U/L and 76(63, 96) U/L in the control group at the first postoperative review, with statistically significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). Patients in both groups were followed up for 3 months after discharge. There were no obvious complications in the experimental group, and 1 case had a small amount of peritoneal effusion 7 days after discharge in the control group. Conclusion:In the face of LC with chronic AC, intraoperative intravenous injection of indocyanine green to develop extrahepatic bile duct can help to distinguish its anatomical structure and avoid bile duct injury, improve the safety and progress of surgery, and maximize training and improve the level of the surgeon.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and potential of fluorescent cholecystic bile duct visualization with direct intravenous injection of indocyanine green(ICG) in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods:The clinical data of 132 patients with LC combined with obesity admitted to the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of the Second People′s Hospital of Changzhou City, affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, from January 2023 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into fluorescence group( n=65) and control group( n=67) according to whether indocyanine green fluorescence navigation was used or not. There were 50 males and 82 females, and all the enrolled patients body mass index≥28 kg/m 2. Two groups identify the time of the three tubes, intraoperative bleeding, operation time, postoperative hospitalization time, white blood cell count(WBC), C-reactive protein(CRP), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT), and postoperative follow-up in the fluorescent and control groups were counted respectively. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and intergroup comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test; counting data were described by frequency(rate), and intergroup comparisons were made by applying the chi-square test, Fisher′s exact probability method, and chi-square corrected test according to the difference in the minimum frequency. Results:Surgery was successfully completed in both groups. Preoperative inflammatory indicators and liver function levels were also not statistically significant( P>0.05). The time to identify the three tubes, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and postoperative hospitalization in the fluorescence group were 18.00(13.50, 20.00) min, 40.00(30.00, 50.00) min, 5.00(5.00, 10.00) mL, and 2.00(1.50, 3.00) d, and in the control group were 32.00(25.00, 45.00) min, 65.00(50.00, 85.00) min, 41.00(41.00, 46.00) mL, and 4.00(3.00, 5.00) d. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant( P<0.05). The postoperative leukocyte count, postoperative CRP, and postoperative GGT were 9.15(7.10, 11.75)×10 9/L, 7.19(3.22, 20.00) mg/L, and 34.0(20.0, 49.0) U/L in the fluorescence group, and 13.05(11.02, 15.59)×10 9/L, and 18.78(12.90, 32.95) mg/L in the control group, respectively, 82.5(68.5, 114.5) U/L, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). None of the patients showed abdominal pain, abnormal liver function and hepatobiliary ultrasound in the follow-up findings within 2 months after surgery. Conclusion:The effect of obesity, a factor that interferes with ICG fluorescence, is extremely limited, and ICG fluorescence cholangiography is a useful technique in the obese population that not only improves the efficiency of the procedure, but also increases intraoperative safety, with results superior to those of conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the current status, hotspots and development trends of research on the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), providing reference for subsequent research. METHODS Searching the Web of Science database, the literature related to the treatment of NAFLD from the establishment of the database to December 31, 2022 were collected. CiteSpace 6.1.R6 was used to construct a visual atlas, perform collaborative network analysis on authors, countries and institutions, and conduct keyword co-occurrence, clustering and emergence analysis to explore its research status and hotspots. RESULTS A total of 3 882 articles were included, and the number of publications had been increasing year by year. The top three countries in terms of publication volume were China, the United States, and Japan. The author with the highest volume of publications was Sanyal from the United States (37 articles), while the institution with the highest volume of publications was the University of California, San Diego (75 articles). A closely connected research team abroad mainly conducted large-scale randomized controlled trials (RCT) to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various interventions, including medication and lifestyle, in treating NAFLD. However, domestic researches mainly focused on basic researches about the treatment of NAFLD with effective medicinal ingredients, and were characterized by traditional Chinese medicine. There were relatively few high-quality large-scale RCT studies related to it. Keyword analysis showed that researches in various countries mainly focused on regulating liver oxidative stress and inflammation, improving the overall balance of glucose and lipid metabolism. Except for hypoglycemic drugs, drugs that act on various comprehensive metabolic homeostasis targets in the body had entered clinical research, and had enormous therapeutic potential. CONCLUSIONS The research on NAFLD treatment continues to grow in popularity and tends to research targets and drugs for regulating systemic metabolic homeostasis. As the main force of research, China should strengthen communication with the international community, grasp the trends and directions of basic research, attach importance to clinical research, and continuously tap the therapeutic potential of traditional Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of Polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules (PPC) as adjuvant therapy for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). METHODS Retrospective data were collected from the patients diagnosed with CHB, treated with hepatoprotective drugs combined with antiviral drugs or antiviral drugs alone, and underwent long-term follow-up in the outpatient department of Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2022. After balancing confounding factors through propensity score matching, the effectiveness of PPC combined with antiviral therapy versus antiviral therapy alone (PPC+antiviral group versus antiviral group) and PPC+Diammonium glycyrrhizinate enteric- coated capsules (DGC) combined with antiviral therapy versus DGC combined with antiviral therapy (PPC+DGC+antiviral group versus DGC+antiviral group) as therapy for CHB were compared under real medical conditions. RESULTS Totally 382 patients with CHB who received hepatoprotective agents based on antiviral therapy (221, 63 and 98 patients who received DGC, PPC and combination therapy, respectively) and 400 patients who received antiviral therapy alone were ultimately included. After propensity score matching, there were 47 patients each in the PPC+antiviral group and the antiviral group, respectively; after treatment, the alanine transaminase (ALT) levels in the PPC+antiviral group were significantly reduced compared to before treatment and the antiviral group at the same time (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in the ALT normalization rate between the two groups (P>0.05). There were 74 patients each in the PPC+DGC+antiviral group and the DGC+antiviral group, respectively; after treatment, the ALT levels of patients in both groups were significantly reduced compared to before treatment, the ALT levels of PPC+DGC+antiviral group were significantly lower than those in the DGC+antiviral group at the same time, and the ALT normalization rate was significantly higher in the PPC+DGC+antiviral group than that in the DGC+antiviral group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Based on using antiviral drugs to treat CHB, adjuvant therapy combined with PPC has a significant advantage in reducing liver enzymes; in addition, compared with the DGC combined antiviral regimen, the dual hepatoprotective drug of DGC and PPC combined with an antiviral regimen has better effects on liver protection and reduction of liver enzymes.
