Objective To study the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic resection of hemangioma in the right posterior hepatic section without any blood flow occlusion.Methods Patients with hemangiomas in the right posterior section of liver operated from January 2016 to June 2018 in the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical College for Nationalities were studied retrospectively.There were 19 females and 9 males.The average age was (37.9 ± 6.1).The operation methods,perioperative factors,hospitalization cost and follow-up outcomes were recorded and analyzed.Results 28 patients with hemangiomas were treated with laparoscopic resection of right posterior hepatic section without any blood flow occlusion.An ultrasound scalpel was applied to split the liver in 27 patients,and ultrasound scalpel combined with Ligasure to split the liver in 1 patient.The mean diameter of the hepatic hemangiomas was (6.7 ± 1.3) cm.The intraoperative blood loss was (330.4 ± 139.0) ml and the operation time was (87.4 ±27.9) min.One patient required conversion to open surgery due to rupture and bleeding of the hemangioma.The conversion rate was 3.6% (1/28).The postoperative drainage time was (45.4 ± 18.9) h.The postoperative hospitalization time was (7.5 ± 1.3) d,and the hospitalization cost was (3.1 ± 0.5) ten thousand yuan.No death or serious complications occurred.No reoperation was needed.The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 30 months,and all the patients were well on follow-up.Conclusions Laparoscopic resection of hemangioma in the right posterior hepatic section without any blood flow occlusion was safe and efficacious.This method can be used for hemangiomas in the right posterior section of liver.

Objective To explore the feasibility and application in quantifying the rabbit central nervous system by using magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)sequences.Methods 12 normal New Zealand rabbits were used to scan the brain and spinal cord of rabbits by DTI sequence of 1.5T MR machine,and the normal apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)and fractional anisotropy (FA)values were obtained in the different regions of the brain and every spinal segment of rabbits,to analyse the characteristics and regularity of numerical changes.Results The average ADC value in the brain of rabbits was (0.87±0.08)×10-3mm2/s,the average FA value was 0.23±0.09;the average ADC value in cervical spinal cord was (1.05±0.14)×10-3mm2/s,the average FA value was 0.55±0.08.The average ADC value in thoracic spinal cord was (1.14±0.12)×10-3mm2/s,and the average FA value was 0.57±0.06;the average ADC value in lumber spinal cord was (1.20±0.12)×10-3mm2/s,and the average FA value was 0.61±0.06.Conclusion FA average value in the brain is lower than that in spinal cord (P<0.001),the difference is related to the distribution of nerve fibers and physiological curvature of spine.ADC average value in the brain is lower than that in spinal cord(P<0.001),this is related to the volume of spinal canal and the peripheral structure of spinal cord.The difference of FA value in the brain and spinal cord is higher than ADC value.

Objective:To study the feasibility and safety in treatment of trauma to right posterior liver using laparoscopic surgery with patients in the left semiprone position.Methods:The clinical data of consecutive patients who were diagnosed to have trauma to the right posterior liver and were treated with laparoscopic surgery with patients in the left semiprone position at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities between February 2016 and August 2020 were retrospectively analysed. The patients’ gender, age, mechanisms of injury, operative methods, operative time, amounts of abdominal effusion, degrees of liver injury, extents of intraoperative bleeding, amounts of postoperative drainage, lengths of postoperative hospital stay, and major postoperative complications were recorded and analyzed.Results:Among the 18 patients, there were 16 males and 2 females, aged (41.6±14.4) years. The mechanisms of liver trauma were caused by fall injury ( n=10), traffic accidents ( n=4), blunt injury ( n=2) and penetrating injury ( n=2). The levels of injuries were level Ⅲ in 16 patients and level Ⅳ in 2 patients. Laparoscopic suture repair was performed in 8 patients, partial hepatectomy in 4 patients, electrocoagulation hemostasis in 4 patients and ligation of bleeding vessels in 2 patients. All were successful in hemostasis. Abdominal effusion was (1 528.8±373.2) ml, intraoperative blood loss (80.6±16.7) ml, operation time (88.5±9.1) min, postoperative hospital stay 7 days and postoperative total drainage (93.8±13.6) ml. Ten patients were complicated with right pleural effusion, and they recovered with conservative treatment. There were no bile leakage, infection and other complications. Conclusion:Trauma to right posterior liver treated with laparoscopic with surgery patients in the left semiprone position had the advantages of adequate exposure which facilitated surgical hemostasis, resulting in minimal collateral damages and short hospital stay. The treatment was feasibility and safe.

Ulcerative colitis(UC) is a chronic non-specific inflammatory bowel disease characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the colonic mucosa and submucosa, and its complex pathogenesis involves immune abnormality, oxidative stress and other factors. The nuclear transcription factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf2), encoded by the Nfe212 gene, plays a central role in antioxidant responses. It not only activates various antioxidant response elements such as heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1), but also enhances the activity of glutathione-S-transferase(GST) and superoxide dismutase 1(SOD1), effectively eliminating reactive oxygen species(ROS) accumulated in the body, and mitigating oxidative stress-induced damage to intestinal mucosa. In addition, Nrf2 can reduce the release of inflammatory factors and infiltration of immune cells by regulating immune response, cell apoptosis and autophagy pathways, thereby alleviating intestinal inflammation and promoting the repair and regeneration of damaged mucosa. Based on this, this paper reviews the research progress of Chinese materia medica in the prevention and treatment of UC by modulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. It deeply explores the physiological role of Nrf2, the molecular mechanism of activation, the protective effect in the pathological process of UC, and how active ingredients in Chinese materia medica regulate the Nrf2 signaling pathway through multiple pathways to exert their potential mechanisms. These studies have revealed in depth that Chinese materia medica can effectively combat oxidative stress by regulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. It can also play a role in anti-inflammatory, promoting autophagy, inhibiting apoptosis, protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier, and promoting intestinal mucosal repair, providing new ideas and methods for the multi-faceted treatment of UC.
