Objective The value of laparoscopic ultrasonographic scanning (LUS) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and the way of scanning extrahepatic biliary system were reported. Methods 80 patients with gallstone receiving LC had real- time color Doppler LUS of the extrahepatic biliary system. Results The sonic picture of major extrahepatic bile duct could be clearly visualized by LUS. While the image of the part posterior to duodenum could also be seen satisfactory with the method modified by the authors. But viewing the image of exact cystic duct needs further study.Conclusion LUS gives distinct intraoperative sonographic images of extrahepatic bile ducts , thereby the operator can precisely locate the ducts without injurying them. LUS can be considered as an important and safe supplement to LC.

Objective:To summarize the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of one child patient with mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase deficiency (mHS) caused by HMGCS2 gene mutation. Methods:One child patient with mHS who received treatment in Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital on April 10, 2020 was included in this patient. The child was hospitalized due to cough, shortness of breath and deep coma. After admission, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of the blood and urine samples and high-throughput whole genome sequencing were performed. The pedigree of the child with gene mutation was analyzed. The child was diagnosed with mHS. Related publications published by June, 2020 were searched in Wanfang database, Chinese Journal Full Text Database, PubMed and HGMD databases using search terms "mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase deficiency", "HMGCS2" "mHS deficiency". Forty-three papers addressing mHS deficiency were retrieved. The clinical phenotype and genotypes of the child with HMGCS2 mutation were summarized. Results:As of June 2020, there were 44 children with mHS deficiency, including the child reported in this study. These children consisted of 15 males, 11 females and 18 unknown genders. Among these children, 29 were aged 0-24 months, 4 were aged > 24 months, 6 had no symptoms, and 5 were of unknown age of disease onset. The first symptoms of most children were fever, cough, acute gastroenteritis, and coma. Twenty-seven children had hypoglycemia, 21 children had metabolic acidosis, 15 children developed hepatomegaly, 16 children had increased FFA/D-3-HB, and 10 children were tested 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone positive. The child included in this study had hepatomegaly, elevated alanine aminotransferase and metabolic acidosis. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry results showed that a variety of metabolites were increased. Tandem mass spectrometry results showed that C40 level was elevated, and long-chain carnitine contents were increased. High-throughput whole genome sequencing results revealed that there were two heterozygous mutations in HMGCS2 gene, (NM_0055) c.559+1G > A; c. 758 T > C heterozygous mutation. Sanger sequencing and parental origin analysis showed that the mutations in this child were from parents. The two gene mutations in this child were new mutations, which have not been reported in China and countries outside China. According to the criteria and guidelines for interpretation of ACMG sequence variation, the variation was determined to be pathogenic. Conclusion:When a child has hypoketotic hypoglycemia and/or metabolic acidosis, increased FFA/D-3-HB and acetylcarnitine levels, mHS deficiency should be considered. HMGCS2 gene examination can help diagnose mHS deficiency.
