Liver cirrhosis is the advanced stage of various chronic liver diseases,and its complications include portal hypertension,esophageal and gastric varices,hepatocellular carcinoma,etc. Transient elastography( TE),a noninvasive method for liver stiffness measurement( LSM),has been used widely to detect liver fibrosis qualitatively and quantitatively. Recently,correlations were observed for LSM with liver cirrhosis and its complications. This article reviewed the studies focused on these correlations,as well as the clinical application of TE.

Objective To investigate ICU nurses' perceptions towards incontinence-associated dermatitis.Methods Totally 300 ICU nurses in Suzhou were investigated with a self-designed questionnaire.Results College education was considered to be their main source of knowledge about incontinence-associated dermatitis in 53.2 percent of the nurses.99.8 percent of nurses thought college education was far enough for clinical practice.68.5 percent of nurses thought it was very important to train for knowledge of incontinence-associated dermatitis.Conclusions ICU nurses in Suzhou have less knowledge on incontinence associated dermatitis.It can not meet clinical needs.It is recommended that more incontinence-associated dermatitis knowledge should be added in the school education and continuing education in order to improve nurses' professional competency and to reduce the incidence rate of incontinence-associated dermatitis

In order to investigate the feasibility of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene therapy, murine GM-CSF cDNA recombinant retrovirus pLXSN/GM was transfered into retrovirus-packaging cell line PA3 17 by electroporation, and the transfected cells were used to infect hematopoietic progenitor cells rich populations. Transfective efficiency of NeoR gene was detected by G418 resistant CFU-GM test, and the results showed 36% them. In the genome of the infected target cells, integrated NeoR gene and GM-CSF cDNA were identified successfully by PCR and Southern Blot analysis respectively. The recombinant plasmids were showed to be capable of expressing GM-CSF mRNA in hematopoietic cells by in situ hybridization. In Dexter culture system, the present of GM-CSF-producing transduced cells inscreased mature nonadherent cell numbers as compared to controls. These results demonstrated that recombinant plasmids were successfully transfected into hematopoietic progenitor cells, and expressed in the cells. Therefore, it provided a basis for further investigation of gene therapy.

Objective: To observe the value of C-arm cone beam CT(CBCT)-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) of bone neoplasms. Methods: Imaging and pathological data of 283 patients who underwent CBCT-guided PCNB of bone neoplasms were retrospectively analyzed. The success rate, incidence of complication, operation time, radiation dose,as well as diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CBCT-guided PCNB were calculated, and the diagnostic efficacy of CBCT-guided PCNB of bone neoplasms was analyzed based on final pathological results. Results: The success rate of CBCT-guided PCNB of bone neoplasms was 100%,with operation time of (14.10±5.95)min and radiation dose of (11.21±4.12)mSv. Among 283 patients, minor bleeding occurred in 3 (1.06%) patients, while 80 patients (28.27%) had mild pain after operation. Taken the final pathological results as standards, the sensitivity and specificity of CBCT-guided PCNB in diagnosis of benign and malignant bone tumors was 90.82% and 86.96%, respectively, with accuracy (89.81%) not statistical different from final pathological results (χ2=2.37, P>0.05). Conclusion: CBCT guigance can provide real-time fluoroscopy for accurate localization during PCNB of bone neoplasms, therefore effectively carry out preoperative planning and reduce radiation dose,being worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To observe the effect of local excision under ultrasonography with immediate mammoplasty in granulomatous lobular mastitis.Methods:Fifty-three patients with granulomatous lobular mastitis admitted from Jan 2017 to Jul 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Combined with sonographic findings and clinical manifestations, patients were divided into four types: type Ⅰ, single mass; Type Ⅱ, single mass located in one quadrant with one or no skin lesion; Type Ⅲ, multi-quadrant involved with one or no skin lesion; Type Ⅳ, multiple abscesses with multiple lesions in the skin. Twenty-five patients underwent wide local excision (control group); Twenty-eight patients underwent local excision under ultrasonography with immediate mammoplasty (experiment group). Patients with erythema nodosum or in type Ⅳ were given antibiotics and corticosteroid therapy preoperatively for 1 week and postoperatively for 5 days. The others went straight to surgery.Results:All patients were followed up for 1 year. In the experiment group, 28 patients had primary wound healing, and 3 patients had poor wound healing after operation (all were of type Ⅳ). The control group had 6 cases of recurrence(were of type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ). There was significant difference of the recurrence rate between the two groups (0 vs. 24%, χ 2=6.033, P=0.014), and the aesthetic effect of local excision under ultrasonography with immediate mammoplasty was better than that of wide local excision(93% vs. 68%, χ 2=5.330, P=0.020). Conclusion:The recurrence rate of local excision under ultrasonography with immediate mammoplasty is low, and with a satisfactory cosmetic effect.

Objective To evaluate the safety and rationality of total/near total bilateral thyroidectomy(TBT) for patients with bilateral multinodular goiter(BMG). Methods From January 2003 to December 2006,311 BMG cases were preoperatively divided into two groups, 130 cases in group A underwent TBT, and 181 cases in group B were treated with subtotal/partial bilateral thyroidectomy. Results There were 6 and 2 eases in group A and group B respectively diagnosed by intraoperative frozen biopsy as BMG, but identified as papillary carcinoma by final pathology. Hence the 6 cases in group A avoided reoporation, while the 2 cases in group B underwent a resection of the remnant gland. Transient hoarseness developed in 3 (2.42%, 3/124) and 3 (1.68%, 3/179) eases in group A and group B respectively (P =0.48). Transient hypocalcemia developed in 11 (8.87% ,11/124) and 9(5.03% ,9/179) cases in group A and group B respectively(P =0.16). There was no postoperative goiter recurrence in group A, but recurrence developed in 12 cases (6.70%,12/179) in group B(P=0.02). Conclusions Total bilateral thyroidectomy is safe and rational for the management of bilateral thyroid goiter.

Objective To compare the results of Danielson procedure with and without prosthetic valve ring in treating Ebstein anomaly and to define the effect of prosthetic valve ring on the procedure.Methods From January 2006 to December 2009,31 cases of Ebstein anomaly over 10 years old were classified as type A or type B according the Carpentier＇s classification scheme.Patients were treated by Danielson procedure or Danielson procedure plus prosthetic valve ring at Anzhen hospital.They were retrospectively classified as Danielson procedure group (group A,n =19) and Danielson procedure plus prosthetic valve ring group (group B,n =12 ).Results There was 1 early in-hospital death due to lung infection and hypoxemia in group A,and no early death in group B ( Fisher exact test,P =0.51 ).The mean follow-up time was ( 23.0 ± 18.5 ) months (5 -41 months).The cumulative follow-up time was 59.42 patient-years.There was one late death in group A due to the redo tricuspid valve plastic procedure because of severe tricuspid regurgitation,and no late death in group B.With echocardiography inspection,11 patients had mild and 7 had moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation in group A,and only 2 mild tricuspid regurgitation in group B.The tricuspid valve competence after surgery in group B was better than in group A ( Fisher exact test,P=0.024).The 6-minute walk distance test (6MWD) in group B was significantly better than in group A(415 ±41 )m vs ( 382 ± 46 ) m( t test,P =0.047 ).The New York heart functional class in group B was statistically better than in Group A ( P =0.024).Conclusion Although there was no significant difference in the early and late mortality rate between the two groups after surgery,Danielson procedure plus prosthetic valve ring was better than pure Danielson procedure in prevention of late tricuspid regurgitation recurrence,heart function and 6MWD test during follow-up.

Objective To investigate the role of eNOS/NO signaling pathway in peritubular capillary lesions of mouse renal interstitial fibrosis with unilateral ureteral obstruction ( UUC) and the potential mechanism .Methods Sixty-four healthy male KM mice were randomly divided into sham operated group ( n=32 ) and unilateral ureteral obstruction group (n =32).At each week, serum BUN, Scr and NO were determined and the percentages of CD 133 +/VEGFR+en-dothelial progenitor cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were detected by flow cytometry .Morphological changes of the renal tissue were observed using Masson staining .The expression of CD34 +cells in the renal interstitium was analyzed by immunohistochemistry to calculate the peritubular capillary density .The expressions of eNos and VEGF mRNA were de-termined by real-time PCR.Results The expression of blood NO , the percentages of endothelial progenitor cells , peritu-bular capillaries, eNOS mRNA, and VEGF mRNA in the UUO group were significantly decreased compared with those of the sham group at 2, 3, and 4 weeks (P<0.05).NO was positively correlated with peritubular capillaries (r =0.715, P<0.05), eNOS mRNA was positively correlated with peritubular capillaries (r =0.624, P<0.05), endothelial progeni-tor cells (r =0.375, P<0.05), and VEGF mRNA (r =0.351, P<0.05).Conclusions eNOS/NO signaling path-way participates in regulation of peritubular capillary lesions in renal interstitial fibrosis of UUO mice .The mechanism may be partly related to the regulation of vasomotor reflex , the expression of VEGF mRNA and mobilization of endothelial pro-genitor cells.

Background:Fibroscan is the noninvasive method widely used to evaluate quantitatively the liver fibrosis and monitor the long-term efficacy of anti-fibrosis therapy. Aims:To study the use of Fibroscan for evaluating the efficacy of combined therapy with FuFang BieJia RuanGan tablet and antiviral drugs in patients with hepatitis B virus( HBV)-related cirrhosis. Methods:A total of 90 patients with HBV-related cirrhosis from March 2013 to September 2014 at Shanghai Ren Ji Hospital were recruited,and divided into treatment group and control group. Patients in treatment group received FuFang BieJia RuanGan tablet,and patients in control group received conventional liver-protective drugs,all the patients took nucleoside antiviral drugs at the same time. The treatment courses in both groups were 6 months. Liver stiffness measurement( LSM)was detected by Fibroscan before and after treatment. Biochemical parameters,width of portal vein and clinical symptoms were recorded. Results:After treatment,LSM was significantly decreased in both groups( P <0.05). Liver function,width of portal vein and Child-Pugh score were improved in both groups(P <0. 05),and no significant differences were found between the two groups(P>0. 05). LSM was closely associated with Child-Pugh score both before and after treatment(r=0. 484,P<0. 01;r=0. 523,P<0. 01). Patients with Child-Pugh A had lower LSM than those with Child-Pugh B or Child-Pugh C(P<0. 01). Conclusions:FuFang BieJia RuanGan tablet combined with oral antiviral drugs can remarkably improve the liver function of cirrhotic patients and prevent progression of cirrhosis. Dynamic detection of LSM can be used for monitoring drug efficacy and disease progression in patients with cirrhosis.
