Objective To summarize the imaging features of computed tomography (CT)and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with multi-technology imaging and compare its effects in the preoperative evaluation of malignant perihilar biliary obstruction.Methods The clinical data of 20 patients receiving CT and MRI who were diagnosed with malignant perihilar biliary obstruction by pathological examination at the Wuxi Second People's Hospital between January 2008 and April 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients receiving CT combined with negative-contrast CT cholangiopancreatography (nCTCP) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) were allocated into the CT group,and patients receiving MRI combined with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) were allocated into the MRI group.The images of the 2 groups were analyzed by 2 independent reviewers.The classification of malignant perihilar biliary obstruction,hepatic artery and portal vein invasions and lymph node and organ metastases were evaluated respectively,and then the results of evaluation were compared with the results of surgery and pathological examinations.The comparison between the accuracy of imaging examination in the 2 groups and accuracy of perihilar biliary obstruction classification were analyzed by the chi-square test.The comparison of evaluating accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) among vascular invasion and lymph node and organ metastases were done by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis,and the comparison of its accuracy were done by the z-score test.Results The imagings of bile duct involvement of the 2 groups showed that there were irregular thickening bile duct wall combined with retrograde intrahepatic bile duct dilatation.The symptoms of vascular invasion included the stricture and occlusion of blood vessels or more than half of vascular contact surface with tumor.The symptoms of lymph node metastasis included the enlarging short-axis or round-like circular enhanced lesions.The symptoms of organ involvement included the unclear boundary of lesions or low-density necrotic foci within organ.All the 20 patients underwent the surgical treatment,including 13 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma and 7 patients with gallbladder carcinoma.Hepatic artery invasions were detected in 5 patients,portal vein invasions in 10 patients,lymph node metastases in 10 patients and organ metastases in 4 patients.The cases of classification of perihilar biliary obstruction,hepatic artery invasion,portal vein invasion,lymph node metastasis and organ metastasis which were evaluated respectively by reviewer 1 and 2 were 18/18,19/18,18/18,17/16 and 18/19 in the CT group and 17/16,14/13,17/16,15/14 and 19/18 in the MRI group.The imaging of the 2 groups were compared with the evaluating accuracies of classification of malignant hilar biliary obstruction,hepatic artery and portal vein invasions,lymph node and organ metastases in the 2 groups,showing no significant differences (x2=12.593,8.889,z=1.823,1.956,0.462,0.817,0.977,0.751,0.233,1.403,P>0.05).Conclusion CT and MRI for malignant hilar biliary obstruction had the same imaging features,meanwhile,they can provide an equivalent performance in the classification of malignant hilar biliary obstruction,hepatic artery and portal vein invasions and lymph node and organ metastases.

Objective To investigate the preparation of influenza virus vaccine without thimerosal for children dose and its sta-bility .Methods H1N1 ,H3N2 ,B-type influenza virus were inoculated into allantoic fluid to prepare three batches of influenza virus vaccine without thimerosal for children dose and the vaccine stability test was performed .Single radial immunodiffusion(SRID) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) were used to detect the concentration of hemagglutinin and egg albumin .Total protein concentration ,appearance ,sterility test ,endotoxin ,free formaldehyde and the pH value of vaccine were also measured .Results The pH value of vaccine was 7 .2 ,with total protein concentration of 182-189 mg/mL .Hemagglutinin concentrations of H1N1 ,H3N2 and B-type influenza virus decreased when they had been placed in 2-8 ℃ for 3 ,6 ,9 ,12 ,18 months or (37 .0 ± 2 .0) ℃ for 7 ,14 days ,however ,they maintained at 6 .0 μg/0 .25 mL or more at last .Conclusion Influenza virus vaccine without thimerosal for chil-dren dose shows improved safty and is accord with the standard of Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2010 edition) .

Trauma has the characteristics of complex disease, high disability rate and fatality rate, which adds difficulty to treatment. Due to the limitation of medical conditions and untimely allocation of resources, the current trauma treatment modes still have shortcomings such as low first aid efficiency and irregular application, and hence the treatment is facing enormous challenges. In the process of trauma treatment, a large amount of dynamic data that are valuable for disease diagnosis and treatment will be generated. Big data and artificial intelligence technology is an algorithm that can reasonably predict or estimate the given data based on large-scale data collection, and has been applied to trauma treatment modes. The efficient and accurate statistical analysis of big data and innovative medical technology directions such as machine learning, planning and decision-making not only improve the efficiency and safety of trauma treatment, but also reduce the workload of clinicians, making up for the shortcomings of traditional trauma treatment modes. The authors mainly review the application of big data and artificial intelligence technology in pre-hospital first aid and in-hospital diagnosis and treatment for trauma patients, in order to provide a reference for trauma treatment.

Objective To further define the extent of chromosome 9p21 deletion in periampullary neoplasms. Methods The loss of heterozygosity at 5 microsatellite polymorphic markers on chromosome 9p21 was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and silver staining in 35 specimens of periampullary neoplasms and their matching blood samples. Results Fifty percent (4/8) of pancreatic cancer cases showed the loss of heterozygosity at one or more microsatellite loci, with the more frequent sites of D9S974 (37.5%) and D9S942 (28.6%), and some showing consecutive allelic loss. Sixty-two point five percent (5/8) of ampullary carcinoma cases showed loss of heterozygosity at one or more of the loci, frequent site of loss being D9S942 (42.9%) and the next most frequent being IFNA (37.5%) and D9S171 (37.5%). Loss of one locus was observed in 14.2% (1/7) of insulinoma. Conclusion The minimal common region of chromosome deletion in periampullary neoplasms is defined between the D9S974 and D9S942 loci within a 15?kb interval in 9p21, suggesting the involvement of a novel tumor suppressor gene in their carcinogenesis.
