OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of spraying mannatide and 5-fluorouracil in anocelia during sur-gery of lung cancer based on the adjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS:Totally 114 patients with lung cancer radical surgery were randomly divided into observation group(59 cases)and control group(55 cases). There were spraying mannatide(40-80 mg)and 5-fluorouracil(500 mg)in the observation group;and nothing drugs were sprayed in control group. The patients higher than phaseⅡ were treated by adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery for continuous 2 cycles,21 d as a cycle. The clinical data was compared, including amount of bleeding and drainage,hospital stay,complications,toxicity,KPS score,body weight changes,immune func-tion,survival rate and recurrence rates between 2 groups. RESULTS:There were no significant differences among the amount of bleeding and drainage,hospital stay and complications in the 2 groups (P>0.05). The nausea,vomiting,leucopenia,the KPS score,improvement of total effective rate,and improvement rate of body mass,immune function,survival rate in 1 and 2 year (s),recurrence rate and time within 2 years in observation group were significantly better than control group,with significant dif-ferences(P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Spraying mannatide and 5-fluorouracil can reduce the toxicity in anocelia during surgery of lung cancer based on the adjuvant chemotherapy,improve the immune function and survival rate,reduce recurrence rate and prolong the recurrence time.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and methodology of detecting the microcirculation of hilar bile duct wall with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Methods Sixteen patients after orthotropic liver transplantation(OLT) were studied. The dosage of contrast agent(SonoVue) was set for 2 groups: 1.5 ml and 2.4 ml. Each group was composed of 8 patients. The imaging quality of CEUS were retrospectively analyzed and divided into 3 grades: good, ordinary and bad. There were 2 patients received retransplantation. Their morphologic features of hilar bile duct wall in baseline ultrasound (US) and CEUS were compared with those in pathological examination. Results Biliary perfusion could be displayed by CEUS continuously,real-timely and clearly. The imaging quality was good in 8 cases(50%), ordinary in 6 cases (37. 5%) and bad in 2 cases(12. 5%). There was no significant difference between the imaging quality of 1. 5 ml and that of 2. 4 ml group ( P = 0. 78). Conclusions The imaging quality of hilar bile duct wall in CEUS is good enough to detect its microcirculation. There is no significant difference between the imaging quality of 1. 5 ml and that of 2.4 ml group.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of baseline ultrasound(BUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in diagnosis of portal vein(PV) patency and to explore the indication of CEUS. Methods The diagnostic capability of BUS and CEUS were assessed in 64 cases according to definition of PV on BUS,which was divided into high, moderate and low definition. Results Thirty-five patients with portal vein thrombosis(PVT) and 29 patients with normal portal vein were confirmed. The diagnostic accuracies by using BUS and CEUS were 93.1% and 96.6% with high definition of PV,56.3% and 87.5% with moderate definition,and 68.4% and 89. 5% with low definition, respectively. Conclusions In the case of high definition of PV,the validity of diagnosing of PV patency with BUS may be similar to that with CEUS,thus introduction of CEUS would probably not be necessary. Otherwise CEUS is recommended.

Objective To assess the inlfuence of depth on liver stiffness measurement with real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) and determine the optimal depth for SWE in liver. Methods SWE of liver was performed on 89 healthy volunteers between May 2012 and November 2012. The depths of each liver were varied from 0 cm to 7 cm (from the liver capsule) in 1 cm increment and there were 8 depth groups in total. Then the elastic modulus of liver in each depth group were measured three times by SWE. The body mass index (BMI) and the distance from body surface to liver capsule were documented. The success rates and the mean elastic modulus of each group were calculated. Results The success rates of 0-7 cm were 0, 98.9%(88/89), 98.9%(88/89), 98.9%(88/89), 71.9%(64/89), 24.7%(22/89), 3.4%(3/89) and 0, respectively. The success rates were highest in 1 cm, 2 cm and 3 cm groups but signiifcant decreased with the increasement of depths in 4 cm, 5 cm and 6 cm groups ( 3 cm vs 4 cm, χ2=25.94, P<0.001; 4 cm vs 5 cm, χ2=39.68, P<0.001;5 cm vs 6 cm,χ2=16.79, P<0.001). The mean elastic modulus of 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm groups were (4.77±0.99), (4.68±0.99), (4.76±0.95), (5.19±1.10) and (5.41±0.95) kPa, respectively. The mean elastic modulus of 4 cm and 5 cm groups were signiifcant higher than those of 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm groups (4 cm vs 1 cm, t=-2.85, P=0.005;4 cm vs 2 cm, t=-3.49, P=0.001;4 cm vs 3 cm, t=-2.76, P=0.006;5 cm vs 1 cm, t=-3.13, P=0.002;5 cm vs 2 cm, t=-3.66, P=0.000;5 cm vs 3 cm, t=-3.05, P=0.003). In the group of 4 cm, the BMI and the distance from body surface to liver capsule of the volunteers performed successfully and unsuccessfully were (20.70±2.87), (22.07±2.42) kg/m2 and (1.45±0.25 ), (1.60±0.29) cm, respectively. In the group of 5 cm, the BMI and the distance from body surface to liver capsule of the volunteers performed successfully and unsuccessfully were (19.82±2.76), (21.49±2.72) kg/m2 and (1.35±0.21), (1.54±0.26) cm respectively. The BMI had no signiifcant difference between the successful and unsuccessful groups (t=-2.83, P=0.108 for 4 cm;t=0.77, P=0.709 for 5 cm), but the distance from body surface to liver capsule was signiifcantly different (t=26.51, P=0.012 for 4 cm;t=79.57, P=0.004 for 5 cm). Conclusions The success rates and elastic modulus were different at different depths. SWE should be performed at the depths of 1-3 cm from the liver capsule.

Objective To investigate the role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) for detection of hepatic artery stenosis(HAS) in recipients following orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT). Methods CEUS was performed in 50 OLT recipients (42 men and 8 women) with abnormal liver function test and/or abnormal findings on color Doppler ultrasound(CDUS). Digital subtraction angiography (DSA), computed tomographic angiography(CTA) or follow-up CDUS was used as the reference standard. The degree (mild,narrowing rate<50 %; moderate, narrowing rate 50 % ~ 75 %; severe, narrowing rate> 75 % ), location and type (single or multiple) of HAS were evaluated. Moderate and severe stenosis were defined as substantial stenosis. Results CTA or DSA depicted substantial HAS in 39 patients, 8 patients with mild HAS or normal HA were depicted on CTA,and the remaining 3 patients were diagnosed as non-substantial HAS on clinical and CDUS follow-up. CEUS depicted substantial HAS in 38 cases. Moreover,CEUS corrected falsepositive findings on CDUS in 9 of 50 cases(18.0% ). The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CEUS in diagnosing HAS were 90.0% ,92.3% ,81.8% ,94. 7% and 75.0%,respectively. Conclusions CEUS is able to provide comprehensive information including presence,degree,location and type of HAS, which may facilitate the further interventional procedure or surgical treatment.
