Objective: To explore the clinical value of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stress99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) gated myocardial perfusion imaging (G-MPI) for evaluating the severity and region of myocardial ischemia and left ventricular function in patients with myocardial bridge. Methods: A total of 58 patients with CAG or CTA confirmed diagnosis of myocardial bridge received ATP stress99mTc-MIBI G-MPI examination in our hospital. The short and vertical long-axis image of left ventricular myocardium were divided into 13 segments and the radionuclide distribution was semi-quantitatively evaluated into 4 classes by 0-3 scores visually (0: normal, 1: mild reduction, 2: moderate reduction, 3: severe reduction). The summed stress score (SSS) of left ventricular myocardium was calculated, the severity and region of myocardial ischemia were judged and compared with the severity of myocardial bridge. The LVEF obtained by ATP stress 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI was compared with LVEF obtained by cardiac color ultrasound (UCG).Results: The detection rate of myocardial ischemia by ATP Stress 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI and by 24h dynamic ECGwere 82.76% vs 56.10%, P <0.05. ATP Stress 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI presented abnormal radionuclide distribution in258 segments (63.55%) of LAD supplied territory, 82 (47.13%) of LCX supplied territory and 74 (42.53%) of RCAsupplied territory; the ischemic segments in LAD supplied territory were more than those in LCX and RCA suppliedterritories, P <0.0125. The resting LVEF obtained by ATP Stress 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI and by UCG were (69.59 ± 4.13)% vs (63.22 ± 4.12) %, P >0.05 and they had positive correlation (r =0.555, P <0.05).Conclusion: ATP stress 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI could accurately and intuitively evaluate the severity and region ofmyocardial ischemia and left ventricular function in patients with myocardial bridge, it has certain guiding value inclinical practice.

Objective To investigate the value of cytokines in bile combined with clinical indices in predicting the degree of liver injury after liver transplantation. MethodsA total of 16 patients undergoing liver transplantation who were hospitalized in Center of Organ Transplantation, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, from January to December 2018 were enrolled, and according to the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) on day 1 after surgery, the patients were divided into mild liver injury (ALT <500 U/L) group with 10 patients and severe liver injury (ALT >500 U/L) group with 6 patients. Bile samples were collected on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after surgery, and MILLIPLEX assay was used to measure the levels of 17 cytokines. R software was used to perform principal component analysis (PCA) of bile cytokines and clinical indices and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of bile cytokines. The two-independent-samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups; The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. A Spearman correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between clinical indices and bile cytokines. ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of cytokines in bile and clinical indices for liver injury after liver transplantation. ResultsCompared with the mild liver injury group, the severe liver injury group had significantly higher expression levels of bile Fractalkine (Z=-2.828, P=0.003), soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) (Z=-2.850, P=0.008), interleukin-4 (Z=-2.398, P=0.017), CXCL10 (Z=-2.475, P=0.023), and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (Z=-1844, P=0.043). The correlation analysis showed that on day 1 after liver transplantation, aspartate aminotransferase, ALT, and lactate dehydrogenase were positively correlated with the levels of several cytokines in bile (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of Fractalkine, sCD40L and AST were 0.933 (0.812-1.000), 0.833 (0.589-1.000) and 0.917 (0.779-1.000), respectively, suggesting that AST and Fractalkine and sCD40L in bile on the first day after liver transplantation have significant predictive value for liver injury. The results of PCA showed that bile cytokines combined with clinical indices on day 1 after liver transplantation could better distinguish the patients with mild liver injury from those with severe liver injury. GO analysis showed that bile cytokines were associated with positive feedback regulation of external stimulus, cell chemotaxis, receptor ligand activity, cytokine activity, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. ConclusionFractalkine and sCD40L in bile can predict the degree of liver injury after liver transplantation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma tau protein, phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau) protein and cognitive function in subjects with generalized brain atrophy. Methods A total of 100 subjects with moderate and severe brain atrophy were divided into two groups according to cognitive function: normal group (n=50 cases) and dementia group (n=50 cases). And their gender, age, educational level, etc. are recorded. The tau protein and p-tau protein content in plasma were measured by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The differences between plasm tau and p-tau protein expression and their relationship with cognitive function were analyzed. Results Plasma tau protein and p-tau protein levels were significantly higher (P<0.05) in the dementia group [(210.92±43.79)pg/mL、(81.15±16.85)pg/mL] than in the normal group[(210.92±43.79)pg/mL、(81.15±16.85)pg/mL]. Plasma tau protein and p-tau protein levels were negatively correlated with the MMSE score (P<0.05) and had no significant correlation with the degree of brain atrophy (P>0.05). Conclusion Cognitive impairment may be associated with elevated tau protein levels in patients with extensive brain atrophy.

Objective:To summarize the technical points of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) carried out in a single center.Methods:The clinical data of 102 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in 2018 at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, and the general conditions, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and surgical operation were analyzed. Post-operative complications, hospital stay and other indicators were studied.Results:Of the 102 patients who were included, there were 57 males and 45 females, aged 15.0 to 79.0 (59.9±11.8) years old, with a body mass index (23.6±3.6) kg/m 2. For the 102 patients who underwent LPD, 6 were total pancreatic resection. Three were combined with vascular resection in the form of portal vein-superior mesentery vein segmental resection. The operation time was (376.6±87.2) min, the intraoperative blood loss was 350 (100, 800) ml, and the postoperative hospital stay was (17.0±5.9) days. Postoperative complications occurred in 26 of the 102 patients (25.5%), and more than two complications occurred in 17 patients. B/C grade pancreatic fistula occurred in 9 patients (9.4%), abdominal bleeding in 8 patients (7.8%), gastrointestinal bleeding in 2 patients (2.0%), biliary fistula in 4 patients (3.9%), and gastric emptying disorder in 5 patients (4.9%), 8 patients had pulmonary infection (7.8%). Five patients (4.9%) died during the perioperative period. Conclusion:The main technical points of LPD included en bloc resection, pancreaticojejunostomy, and vascular reconstruction. The basis of LPD is en bloc resection. Combined resection and reconstruction of vascular segments is a sign of maturity of LPD technology and a prerequisite for further development as a routine procedure.
