Objective:To investigate the correlation between thromboelastography (TEG) and portal vein thrombosis in patients with cirrhotic esophagogastric varices.Methods:210 hospitalized patients with cirrhotic esophagogastric varices treated in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from December 2016 to December 2017 were retrospectively included. They were divided into portal vein thrombosis group (PVT group) and non portal vein thrombosis group (NPVT group) according to whether they were complicated with portal vein thrombosis. The correlation between the results of TEG coagulation reaction time (R value), coagulation time (K value), αAngle, maximum amplitude (MA) and coagulation composite index (CI) and portal vein thrombosis was analyzed. The characteristics of coagulation status in patients with portal vein thrombosis in cirrhosis were compared.Results:A total of 91 patients (43.3%) were complicated with portal vein thrombosis. The R value in the PVT group was significantly lower than that of NPVT group [5.49(5.22-5.77) vs 5.98(5.76-6.20), P=0.006]. Logistic regression analysis showed that Child Pugh grade ( OR=2.883, 95% CI: 1.630-5.098, P<0.001) and R value ( OR=0.739, 95% CI: 0.575-0.950, P=0.018) were independently associated risk factors of PVT. The R value of patients was significantly correlated with Child Pugh grade ( r=0.147, P=0.034), platelet ( r=-0.358, P<0.001), prothrombin time (PT) ( r=0.334, P<0.001) and international standardized ratio (INR) ( r=0.328, P<0.001). Conclusions:The decrease of TEG-R value is closely related to PVT in liver cirrhosis.

Objective:To compare the effect of middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) versus conventional therapy for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH).Methods:Retrospective analysis of 38 patients with 48 CSDHs treated with MMAE from May 2019 to May 2021 was performed. Comparisons were made with a conventional treatment for 126 patients with 126 CSDHs from January 2016 to May 2021. The MMAE and conventional treatment patients were matched by the propensity score matching method, and a total of 25 pairs of patients (31 pairs of CSDHs) were successfully matched. The CSDH recurrence, rescue treatment, radiographic follow-up outcome, clinical improvement and complication between the two groups were compared by t test, χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability methods. Results:The rescue treatment rate in MMAE group was significantly lower than that in conventional treatment group [0 (0/31) vs 19.4% (6/31), P=0.024] and the complete resolution rate at 6 months follow-up in MMAE group was significantly higher than that in conventional treatment group [96.8 (30/31) vs 74.2% (23/31), P=0.026]. In terms of CSDH recurrence, there was a trend of lower recurrence in the MMAE group [3.2%(1/31) vs 22.6% (7/31), P=0.053]. The complete resolution rate at 3 months follow-up was 61.3% (19/31) in MMAE group and 45.2% (14/31) in conventional treatment, clinical improvement rate was 92.0% (23/25) in MMAE group and 88.0% (22/23) in conventional treatment, good outcome rate (mRS≤2) was 92.0% (23/25) in MMAE group and 84.0% (21/25) in conventional treatment, complication rate was 0(0/25) in MMAE group and 4.0% (1/25) in conventional treatment, and there were no significant differences in all above-mentioned parameters ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The MMAE may be considered as a safe and effective treatment for CSDH, and MMAE for CSDH is associated with lower trend of recurrence, lower rescue treatment rate and better radiographic follow-up outcome than conventional therapy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol on the invasion of cerebral glioma in rats. Methods A total of 120 healthy adult male Wistar rats, weighing 250-280 g, were divided into 4 groups (n=30 each)using a random number table: sham operation group(group S), glioma group(group G) and different doses of propofol groups(group P1and group P2). The rats only underwent sphenotresia in group S. The model of brain glioma was established by injecting C6 glioma cells into the right caudate nucle-us in G, P1and P2groups. In P1and P2groups, propofol was infused at the rates of 20 mg·kg-1·h-1 and 40 mg·kg1·h-1, respectively, for 6 h through the tail vein at day 10 after establishing the model. The rats were sacrificed at day 18 after establishing the model, global brains were removed, and glioma was isolated. The weight of glioma was measured. The pathological changes were examined using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine the positive expression of glial fi-brillary acidic protein in glioma cells. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in both the periphery(within 2 mm diameter)and central region of glioma was detected by Western blot. Results No glioma was found in group S. The marked cavity and necrotic region in the central region of glioma and dense distribution of glioma cells and neovessels in the periphery of glioma were observed, and glial fibril-lary acidic protein was positively expressed in the majority of glioma cells in G, P1and P2groups. Com-pared with group S, the expression of VEGF was significantly up-regulated, and the number of positive cells was increased in G, P1and P2groups(P<0.05). Compared with group G, the weight of glioma was significantly decreased, the expression of VEGF was down-regulated, and the number of positive cells was decreased in P1and P2groups(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the parameters men-tioned above between group P1and group P2(P>0.05). Conclusion Propofol can inhibit the invasion of cerebral glioma and provides anti-tumor effect in rats.
