Objective To explore the clinical value of total hemihepatic vascular exclusion (THHVE) in right hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods One hundred and twenty-three consecutive patients who underwent right hepatectomy for HCC between February 2006 and December 2008 were studied retrospectively. THHVE was used in 58 patients (group A) and Pringle maneuver in 65 patients (group B). The patient's demographics,surgical procedure and outcome were collected and compared between the two groups.ResultsThe tumor size was significantly bigger in group A than group B (7.69±3.70 cm vs.6.08±4.07 cm,P＜0.05).The vascular occlusion time in group A was significantly longer than groupB (28.55±8.67 min vs.19.85±6.71 min,P＜0.05). However, intraoperative blood loss in group A was significantly less than group B (304.31±270.36 ml vs.542.62±876.84 ml,P＜0.05),and the elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) on day- 1,-3 and- 7 after operation in group A were significantly lower than group B (P＜0.05).The postoperative complication rate in group A was lower than group B (18.97％ vs.38.46％,P＜0.05).ConclusionTHHVE was a safe and efficacious technique in right hepatectomy for HCC.It significantly decreased blood loss,alleviated liver injury and reduced postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of acute paraquat(PQ)poisoning in children in southwest Shandong, and the risk factors for pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Methods: This retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of children with acute PQ poisoning admitted from January 2013 to December 2017 in 12 hospitals in southwest Shandong.All participants were divided into pulmonary interstitial fibrosis group and no pulmonary interstitial fibrosis group on the basis of the chest CT 14 days after poisoning.The epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis were analyzed. Results: During the study period, a total of 307 children with acute PQ poisoning were admitted to 12 hospitals, of which 61 (19.87%) were suffering from acute PQ poisoning.Forty-nine cases with complete clinical data were analyzed, including 26 male and 23 female patients poisoned by oral.The age distribution ranged from 8 months to 14 years.Poisoning mainly occured from July to September of each year.The mortality of acute PQ poisoning was 8.2%(4/49), and the incidence of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in survival patients was 44.4%(20/45). Statistical differences (P<0.05) were found between the pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and no pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, with regard to the times of blood purification, the time from poison exposure to blood purification, the application rate of glucocorticoids, the concentration of PQ in urine, the pediatric critical illness score, the time from poison exposure to gastric lavage, the white blood count at admission, serum creatinine, arterial blood lactate, PaO₂, PaCO₂, and PaO₂/FiO₂; however, there was no significant difference in the proportion of blood purification treatment, the mode of blood purification treatment, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, urea nitrogen, creatine kinase and troponin.Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that the time from exposure to poison to gastric lavage(OR=0.683, 95%CI 0.210-2.222)and to blood purification(OR=0.0133, 95%CI 0.004-0.042), the times of blood purification(OR=2.862, 95%CI 1.450-5.648), concentration of PQ in urine(OR=1.435, 95%CI 1.085-1.898), and the use of glucocorticoids(OR=0.190, 95%CI 0.048-0.757) were the risk factors for pulmonary interstitial fibrosis(P<0.05). Conclusion Early gastric lavage and blood purification, increasing the frequence of adminitrating purification appropriately, using low-dose glucocorticoids can reduce the incidence of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis of children with acute PQ poisoning.

OBJECTIVE：To establish the fingerprint of crude/vinegar-processed Corydalis yanhusuo decoction pieces and their dispensing granules，and to determine the contents of five alkaloids （protopine，tetrahydropalmatine，corydaline，berberine hydrochloride，palmatine hydrochloride ）. METHODS ：HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Agilent TC-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.1％ phosphoric acid solution-methanol （gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 280 nm，and the column temperature was 30 ℃. The sample size was 10 μL. Using palmatine hydrochloride as reference ， Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint （2012 edition） was used to establish the fingerprint of 11 059） batches of C. yanhusuo decoction pieces ，7 batches of crude . yanhusuo dispensing granules ， 12 batches of vinegar- processed C. yanhusuo decoction pieces and 11 batches of vinegar-processed C. yanhusuo dispensing granules. The same HPLC method was adopted to determine the contents of protopine， tetrahydropalmatine， corydaline， berberine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride in 41 batches of crude/ vinegar-processed C. yanhusuo decoction pieces and their dispensing granules. RESULTS ：There were 12 and 20 common peaks for crude C. yanhusuo decoction pieces and its dispensing granules ，and 14 and 16 common peaks for vinegar-processed C. yanhusuo decoction pieces and its dispensing granules. The similarity of each batch of same type were 0.529-0.981，0.342-0.985， 0.711-0.999，0.437-0.998，respectively. The linear range of protopine ，tetrahydropalmatine，corydaline，berberine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride were 1.9-38.0，2.0-40.0，2.2-44.0，2.6-52.0，2.3-46.0 μg/mL（R2＞0.999 0）. The recoveries were 100.12％-100.98％（RSD＝1.05％-1.90％，n＝9）. RSDs of precision ，reproducibility，stability（24 h）and durability tests were all lower than 2.0％. The average contents of five alkaloids in different batches of crude/vinegar-processed C. yanhusuo decoction pieces and its dispensing granules were 0.24-0.46，0.37-0.82，0.24-0.58，0.07-0.75，0.24-0.76 mg/g. RSDs were 12.27％-147.48％. CONCLUSIONS：The fingerprint of crude/vinegar-processed C. yanhusuo decoction pieces and its dispensing granules is established successfully. The similarities of fingerprint are different before and after processing with vinegar ，and the contents of five alkaloids in C. yanhusuo decoction pieces and its dispensing granules are greatly different.
