Objective To explore a compatible approach to detect and classify the lesions of inferior vena cavas (IVCs) on sonogram in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome(BCS).Methods Ultrasonogram of the IVCs were observed detailedly in 300 patients with BCS by using trans-abdomen and trans-thorax-right atrium-inferior vena cava ingress sections.Transducers usually used for heart examination were applied in the latter.Lesions of the IVCs found in 277 out of 300 patients were classified.All lesions were confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and among them,52 cases underwent computed tomography angiography (CTA).Results Lesions of IVCs were classified into 3 categories as follows:membranous type,segmental type,and ex-pressed type.① Membranous type (thickness ≤ 15 mm) included membranous stenosis type and membranous occlusion type.On the basis of the thickness,the membranous stenosis type was further classified into thinner membranous stenosis type (thickness ≤5mm) and thicker membranous stenosis type (5 mm<thickness≤ 15 mm).The membranous occlusion type was further classified into thinner membranous occlusion type (thickness ≤5 mm) and thicker membranous occlusion type (5 mm<thickness ≤15 mm).② Segmental type (lengtb > 15 mm) was consist of segmental stenosis type and segmental occlusion type.Based on the length of the lesion,the segmental stenosis type was further divided into longer segmental stenosis type (length > 30 mm) and shorter segmental stenosis type (15 mm<length ≤30 mm).The segmental occlusion type was further divided into longer segmental occlusion type (length > 20mm) and shorter segmental occlusion type (15 mm< length ≤20 mm).③ Ex-pressed type of IVCs was mainly caused by compression of intumescent caudate lobes.Corresponding sonographic features were demonstrated in each type.Conclusions Ultrasonogram of trans-abdomen and trans-thorax-right atrium-inferior vena cava ingress sections could accurately classify the lesions of IVCs.It is of important significance for the clinical treatment.

Objective To analyze the patterns of amino acid changes in liver failure patients treated with non-bioartificial liver support system (ALSS), and to explore the efficacy of ALSS in liver failure treatment. Methods A total of 146 liver failure patients treated with ALSS from June 2009 to August 2010 were recruited in this study. Paired blood samples were collected from every patient and serum amino acids and ammonia were tested by automatic amino acid analyzer. The changes of amino acids in patients with different prognoses, different types/phases of liver failure were evaluated.Measurement data were compared by paired t test. Results After ALSS treatment, liver failure patients experienced a significant decrease in serum glutamic acid and lysine [(395.62±200.24)μmol/Lvs (260. 05±169.56) μmol/L and (436. 73±326. 18)μmol/L vs (407. 12±292.01) μmol/L,respectively; t= 8. 611 and 2. 659, respectively; both P<0.01)], while experienced greatly increases in threonine and branched-chain amino acids/aromatic amino acid ratio [( 1302. 90 ±1288.70) μmol/L vs (1406.70 ±1272. 34) μmol/L and 1. 23 ± 0. 53 vs 1. 36 ± 0.57, respectively; t = 2. 895 and 1. 061,respectively; both P<0. 01)]. The changes of glutamic acid, tyrosine, arginine and methionine before and after ALSS treatment in patients with different prognoses, different types/phases of liver failure were all significantly different. Conclusions ALSS treatment could improve the serum amino acid disorder in liver failure patients. The amino acids in patients with different types/phases or different prognoses of liver failure change significantly after ALSS treatment.

In this study, real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect coxsakie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) expression. Both localization and quantity were evaluated in the uteri obtained at days post coitus (dpc) 2.5, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5. Outcome of PCR was assessed by 2(-ΔΔCt) method. Image Pro-Plus 6.0 software was used for quantifying mean density of CAR expression in immunohistochemical sections. We found relatively weak CAR expression in the mouse uteri during implantation window. PCR and immunohistochemistry revealed highest CAR expression was detected on dpc 2.5 followed by down-regulation of CAR at dpc 4.5 and 6.5 (with significant difference). At dpc 8.5, CAR expression was increased slightly again. It is concluded that during implantation, the expression of CAR mRNA and protein is declined, resulting in the impairment of tight junction between cavity epithelium cells. After implantation window closure, CAR appears again to maintain epithelium stability. CAR might play an important role during embryo implantation procedure.
