Objective To explore the application value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the diagnosis of suspected obstructive jaundice in acute biliary pancreatitis and its effect on treatment outcomes. Methods Clinical data were retrospectively collected in 96 patients with acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) who were suspected obstructive jaundice. Patients were divided into early EUS scanning group (EES) and delay EUS scanning group (DES). Clinical treatment results and test results were compared between the two groups. Results The diagnosis sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of EUS were 96.43 %, 82.5 %, 90.63 %, 88.52 % and 96.29 %. Early EUS scan with 72 h could identify the etiology of ABP and subsequent treatment based on the EUS can easily decrease the white blood cell count, percentage of neutrophils, total bilirubin and serum amylase (P < 0.05). The pain relief rate in EEI group after 1 week treatment was significantly higher than that in the DES group (87.50 % vs 66.67 %, P = 0.027) and average length of hospitalization was shorter [(12.70 ±2.10) d vs (14.10 ± 3.00) d, P = 0.006]. Delay EUS scan were likely to have higher white blood cell count and total bilirubin, meanwhile seemed to increase the organ failure rate and necrotic infection of the pancreas. Conclusion ABP with suspected obstructive jaundice should be considered to have endoscopy intervention. Results of EUS are the basis for treatment decision, which can avoid the unnecessary endoscopy treatment.

Objective:To analyze the dosimetric differences between CT-guided free-hand intracavity/interstitial brachytherapy[image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT)] and conventional point-A plan (CP) in the treatment of cervical cancer.Methods:Twenty-six cervical cancer patients who received four cycles of IGABT in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were enrolled in this study. Two sets of CT images were obtained before and after applicator adjustment to aid in the design of CP and IGABT plans. The high-risk clinical target volume (HRCTV), point A, and organs at risk (bladder, rectum, and sigmoid colon) were defined on CT images. CP and IGABT plans were designed on CT images. Parameter differences between CP and IGABT plans were analyzed with paired t-test and Wilcoxon test. Results:According to the coverage index (CI) of CP, plans were divided into two groups: in group A (CI≥0.90), 20 CP and corresponding IGABT plans were included, and 84 CP and corresponding IGABT plans in group B (CI<0.90). The mean volume of HRCTV and mean tumor diameter in group A were significantly smaller than those in group B (46.7 cm 3vs. 62.1 cm 3, P<0.001 and 3.1 cm vs. 4.4 cm, P<0.001). Compared with CP, IGABT significantly improved the value of D 90% in all plans and group B, whereas lowered the bladder dose. IGABT also reduced the dose of sigmoid colon in group A. IGABT significantly improved conformal index and dose homogeneity index. Conclusions:IGABT can significantly improve the target coverage, conformal index and dose homogeneity index, protect organs at risk. Compared with CP, IGABT has advantages in the treatment of patients with bulky tumor.

2019 Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection caused a pandemic in the world. From the reported cases in the literatures, the level of D-dimer in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is positively correlated with the severity of illness, which needs the attention of clinical workers. According to Western medicine, the increase of D-dimer is related to the hyperactivity of fibrinolytic system and the shortening of prothrombin time (PT), resulting in excessive production and degradation of plasma fibrin and hypercoagulable state of blood, while traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believes that the above syndromes belong to the pathogenesis of "blood stasis" according to TCM theories. Over the years, TCM has a significant effect on promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and improving microcirculation. This article reviews the mechanism, clinical significance, understanding of TCM and common methods of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis caused by 2019-nCoV, in order to provide ideas for the prevention and treatment of impaired blood coagulation in patients with COVID-19.
