Objective To evaluate the clinical value of color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) in diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome(BCS).Methods The CDUS and CTA data about 33 BCS patients diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography(DSA) and treated by interventional therapy were retrospectively analyzed.All of 33 patients with BCS were examined with CDUS,26 cases of then received CTA.The diagnostic value of BCS between two methods were compared.Results The diagnostic accordance rate of CDUS and CTA for BCS were 90.9% and 96.2% respectively,which had no significant statistical difference(P > 0.05).The two methods could not only comprehensively systematically reflect the morphologic changes of liver and spleen,the stenosis and blood flow state of the lesion regions,but also clearly display the intrahepatic/extrahepatic collateral vessels trend in the abdomen.One week after interventional therapy,the CUDS results showed blood vessels pristine and stable hemodynamics.Conclusion CDUS is the preferred imaging in the diagnosis and postoperative re-examination of BCS.While,CTA can provide many important parameters for preoperative assessment and operation way.

【Objective】 To develop and verify high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection for tromethamine (Tris) residues in human coagulation factor Ⅷ. 【Methods】 Alanine was used as internal standard, and AQC for pre-column derivation. Inertsil® ODS-SP was adopted, and acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer and acetonitrile were used for gradient elution at the flow rate of 1 mL/min and column temperature of 37℃. The 25 μL sample was loaded and determined by UV-detector with detection wavelength at 248 nm. This method was then verified. 【Results】 Glycine, sodium citrate and calcium chloride showed no interference with the detection of tromethamine (Tris) residues. The recovery rate of spike samples was within 90.0%~100.8%. The RSD in repeatability test were 2.5%, 0.7% and 1.2%, respectively, and in intermediate precision test 0.8%. The tromethamine (Tris) at concentrates of (0.5~4.0)μg/mL showed good linear relationship to the peak area to internal standard, of which the regression equation was Y=0.012 9X-0.000 782, R=0.999 97.The quantitative detection limit was 0.04μg/mL. 【Conclusion】 The HPLC for determination of tromethamine (Tris) residues in human coagulation factor Ⅷ was successfully developed, which showed good linearity as well as high specificity, precision and accuracy.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new Chinese-made surgical biopatch for atrial septum under the establishment of atrial septal defect animal model in miniature pigs.Methods:From June 2018 to April 2019, 26 pigs were divided into experimental group (15 pigs) and the control group (11 pigs). Animal models of atrial septal defect were established by traditional surgical methods. The to-be-evaluated and listed surgical biological patches (with a diameter of 10 mm) were implanted in the experimental group and the control group to repair the atrial septal defect. Cardiac ultrasound and blood examination of all animals were performed before and at 7, 30, 90, 180 days after operation, the results were analyzed with repetitive measurement and analysis of variance. At 90 days and 180 days after the operation, tissue samples were taken from animals after euthanasia. Pathological examination of heart and major organs were conducted. The independent sample t test and rank sum test were used to compare the data between the two groups, and the nonparametric was used to compare the patch calcification score between the two groups. Results:In total of 26 animals, 14 animals in the experimental group(6 at 90 days, 8 at 180 days) and 9 animals in the control group(4 at 90 days, 5 at 180 days) reached the end of the experiment. The other 3 animals (1 in the experimental group and 2 in the control group) died of arrhythmia, whole heart failure and right heart failure, the results of pathological examination showed that the causes of death were unrelated to the experimental materials. Cardiac ultrasound showed no patch leakage in all animals. There was no statistically significant difference in cardiac ultrasound and blood examination between the two groups at different time points after operation (all P>0.05). The pathological results showed that all the implants were intact and had good biocompatibility. There was no significant difference in the mean endothelialization rate between the experimental group and the control group at 90 and 180 days after operation ((80.8±29.1)% vs. (82.5±23.6)%, t=0.095, P=0.927; (78.8±36.4)% vs. (82.0±19.2)%, t=0.182, P=0.859) on 90 and 180 days, there was no significant difference in the patch calcification score between the two groups (1.00(1.25) vs. 2.00(0.75), Z=6.500, P=0.214; 0(0.75) vs. 1.00(2.00), Z=12.000, P=0.139). Conclusion:The new Chinese-made surgical biopatch for atrial septum has comparable safety and efficacy to that of the marketable patch in miniature pig atrial septal defect animal model.
