Objective To explore the value of tricuspid annular displacement (TAD) in evaluating right ventricular systolic function by speckle tracking imaging.Methods Forty healthy people (RVEF ＞50%) and forty five patients(RVEF ＜50%)were enrolled in this study.The apical four-chamber view was obtained and tricuspid annular midpoint displacement (TADmid) were measured by speckle tracking imaging.Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) was measured by three-dimensional echocardiography.The correlation of tricuspid annular midpoint displacement (TADmid) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) was analyzed.Results These was statistical significance of tricuspid annular midpoint displacement between healthy people (RVEF ＞ 50%) and patients (RVEF ＜ 50%) (t = 7.28,P ＜ 0.01).There was positive correlation between TADmid and RVEF (P ＜ 0.01).The correlation coefficient between TADmid and RVEF was 0.76 (P ＜ 0.0l).The cut-off value of TADmid for RVEF ＞ 50% was 9.7 with a sensitivity of 72% and a specificity of 86%.Conclusions TAD by speckle tracking imaging showed an excellent correlation with RVEF.Tricuspid annular displacement by speckle tracking imaging was a simple and easy method,and it might be a new index in assessing right ventricular systolic function in clinical practice.

Objective To summarize the experience of emergency treatment of primary liver cancer rupture bleeding and improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of the disease.Methods From October 2008 to December 2012.The clinical data of 11 patients with spontaneous rupture of primary liver cancer were analyzed retrospectively.Results Three cases were given conservative treatment.Among them,1 case died,2 bleeding cases were hemostasis,8 cases were operated.Surgical operation is the main method of emergency treatment.The effect after operation was satisfactory.1 case with liver tumor resection died in the first days after the operation,1 case was transferred to higher level hospitals for further treatment because massive ascities in third days after operation,6 cases were successfully discharged,survival rate was over 3 months.Conclusions In the process of emergency treatment we should pay attention to reduce the rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.When the diagnosis was confirmed,we must treat the shock and plan an active operation scheme.Operation mode can be selected of tumor resection or simple hemostatic gauze tamponade suture hemostasis,saving lives of patients in the shortest time is the goal of emergency treatment.

Methods 40 patients with end-stage liver cancer in our hospital from February 2017 to January 2018 were selected and divided into control group and study group, with 20 patients in each group. Patients in control group were treated with the conventional clinical regimen while patients in study group were treated with the regimen of palliative care. Results After the intervention, scores of HAMAand caner pain in study group were significantly lower than those in control group while the quality of life in study group wa(s) significantly better than that in control group(P＜0. 05). Conclusion Palliative care could improve the life quality of patients with end-stage liver cancer effectively. It was worth clinical promotion and application.

Objective:To identify characteristic genes of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)by artificial neural network and to analyze role of immune cells in RA related microenvironment.Methods:GSE1919 and GSE77298 chips were from GEO database.Two chips were combined and batch corrected using R language to obtain a new data set,and difference was analyzed.Metascape enrichment analysis and GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were conducted for differential expressed genes(DEGs)."randomForest"package in R software was used to screen characteristic genes of RA under random forest(RF)algorithm,and artificial neural network model was constructed according to gene score.Top 4 genes(HubGene)were extracted for subsequent analysis.Single sample gene set enrich-ment analysis(ssGSEA)was used to calculate abundance of immune cells in samples and carry out a series of correlation analysis.Results:Top 15 genes were selected as characteristic genes of RA through artificial neural network model:STAT1,RUNX3,AR,CDH11,LMO4,TIMP1,PLXNC1,CAP2,PRKAA2,VDR,SPP1,HCK,EPHB2,KCNAB1,ITGB7.STAT1,RUNX3 and CDH11 were up-regulated in RA synovial tissue,while AR was down-regulated in RA synovial tissue.Immune cell infiltration results showed that RA had the most significant correlation with activated CD4 T cells.Number of immune cells significantly related to RUNX3 was the largest.RUNX3 was significant positive correlated with activated B cells,activated CD4 T cells,activated CD8 T cells,central memory CD4+T cells,effector memory CD8 T cells,regulatory T cells,γδT cells and macrophages,while significant negative correlated with NK cells.Conclusion:Fifteen characteristic genes related to RA are identified through artificial neural net-work,among which STAT1,RUNX3,AR and CDH11 are top 4 genes.It emphasizes activation of CD4 T cells,regulatory T cells,γδT cells,macrophages,NK cells,activated B cells and other immune cells are important in pathogenesis of RA,providing new in-sights for diagnosis of RA and study of molecular mechanism of immune cells.

Cirrhotic portal hypertension could complicate impaired intestinal barrier function,small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota,further exacerbate the severity of cirrhosis.TIPS might lead to hepatic encephalopathy(HE).The research progresses in correlations of cirrhotic portal hypertension,TIPS related HE and gut microbiota were reviewed in this article.

Objective:To explore the value of aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and platelet (PLT)ratio index(APRI)in the prognosis of liver transplantation(LT)for hepatocellular carcinoma and establish a nomogram model for evaluating its clinical application potential.Methods:From January 2015 to December 2019, retrospective review was conducted for clinical data of LT for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)at First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Shulan(Hangzhou)Hospital(601 cases). They were randomized into two groups of modeling (399 cases)and validation(202 cases)and then divided into low and high APRI groups according to the APRI value at Month 1 post-transplantation. The independent risk factors of recurrence and prognosis post-LT were screened in modeling group using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and were further used for constructing a nomogram prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)and survival curve were utilized for verifying the accuracy of nomogram prediction model.Results:Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that independent risk factors for the prognosis of HCC-LT included cold ischemic time(CIT) >8 h, beyond Hangzhou criteria, surgical bleeding volume >1 000 ml and APRI >1.5. The AUC of HCC-LT recurrence prediction model was 0.734(95%CI: 0.681~0.787)and 0.749(95%CI: 0.671~0.817)in modeling and validation groups; the AUC of HCC-LT mortality prediction model was 0.735(95%CI: 0.679~0.790)and 0.758(95%CI: 0.682~0.834)in modeling and validation groups.Conclusions:APRI>1.5 is an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence and mortality after HCC-LT. The nomogram prediction model based upon CIT, Hangzhou criteria, intraoperative bleeding volume and APRI can effectively predict the recurrence and overall survival of LT for HCC.
