Objective: To understand the effect of dobutamine on the integrated backscatter of myocardium. Methods: Nineteen open-chest dogs were detected by HP Sonos 5500 with S8 transducer, and the WT, AIBS and CVIB were measured before and after the dobutamine stress. Results: During the dobutamine stress, following the increase of WT, the transmural, subepicardial and subendocardial CVIB all increased. And the increase of subepicardial CVIB was greater than that of subendocardial CVIB, leading to the decrease of TGI. But the AIBS didn't change significantly in the whole process. Conclusion: Dobutamine can enhance myocardium CVIB but has no obvious infleunce on AIBS.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of antiviral therapy on HBV reactivation and liver function after liver resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods:A total of 174 HBV-DNA(?) HCC patients were recruited into two groups:antiviral ther-apy group (66 cases) and control group (108 cases). In the antiviral group, patients were given entecavir dispersible tablet, whereas no antiviral therapies were given in the control group. The HBV reactivation and liver function index rates were statistically analyzed. Re-sults:Rates of HBV reactivation after hepatectomy were 3.0%and 27.8%in the antiviral therapy group and control group, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that minor hepatectomy (HR, 4.695;95%CI, 1.257-17.537, P=0.021) and no antiviral therapy (HR, 8.164;95%CI, 1.831-36.397, P=0.006) were independent risk factors for HBV reactivation. The levels of ALT, TBil, ALB, and PT within 7 days af-ter liver resection were similar between the antiviral therapy group and the control group and between the reactivation group and no-reactivation group. However, the ALT and ALB levels were significantly better in the antiviral group compared with that in the control group after 30 days. Conclusion:HBV reactivation can occur after liver resection for HBV-DNA(?) HCC patients. Preoperative antiviral therapy can reduce the risk of HBV reactivation, thus protecting liver function in patients undergoing liver resection.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of fluoride exposure on the thyroid hormone level and intelligence in rats and to investigate the biomarkers of intellectual impairment induced by high fluoride exposure.
Methods:
A total of 24 clean healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group (tap water containing 0.344 mg/L fluoride) and low-, medium-, and high-fluoride exposure groups (tap waters containing 10, 50, and 100 mg/L sodium fluoride, respectively). One male rat was cohabited with two female rats in the same group. After the offspring rats were weaned, 12 offspring rats (male/female ratio=1∶1) with a similar body weight in each group were subjected to the same treatment for the parental offspring. The offspring rats were sacrificed on the 60th day after birth. The weight of offspring rats was measured. Serum thyrotropin (TSH) , free triiodothyronine (FT3) , and free thyroxine (FT4) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The learning and memory abilities of the rats were evaluated by Morris water maze test. The expression of mitochondrial fission 1 (Fis1) and mitofusin 1 (Mfn1) in blood was measured by Western blot.
Results:
The offspring rats in the medium-and high-fluoride exposure groups had significantly lower serum TSH and FT4 levels than those in the control group (

Objective:
To understand the epidemiological characteristics of product-related injuries among children in Changshan County from 2011 to 2017 and to provide evidence for targeted intervention.
Methods:
The surveillance data of product-related injuries among children aged below 18 years from 2011 to 2017 was collected from three sentinel hospitals in Changshan County. The characteristics of product-related injuries among children were analyzed,especially those injuries caused by furniture,stationery and sporting goods,commodities and toys.
Results:
A total of 5 111 product-related injury cases among children were reported,accounting for 13.49% of product-related injury cases of all age. There were 3 138 boys and 1 973 girls,accounting for 61.40% and 38.60%. There were 2 973 cases less than 10 years old,accounting for 58.17%. The main causes of product-related injuries were road traffic injury(49.46%),blunt(16.02%),stab/cut(12.39%)and fall(10.37%). The main categories of products included transportation equipments(not including motor vehicles,36.83%),motor vehicles(17.82%),furniture(12.23%),stationery and sporting goods(8.45%),commodities(4.89%)and toys(3.25%). Stab/cut(53.01%)was the main cause of commodities related injuries;blunt was the main cause of furniture,stationery and sporting goods and toys. The stationery and sporting goods related injuries occurred mainly in schools/public places(64.57%)and sports venues(18.48%)when engaging in sports(54.13%);furniture,commodities and toys related injuries injured cases occurred at home when engaging in leisure activities. Commodities mainly resulted in sharp/bite/open wound(51.50%);furniture,stationery and sporting goods and toys mainly resulted in bruises. Most cases were injured in head,slight and allowed home after treated.
Conclusion
The product-related injuries among children in Changshan County are more boys. The products mainly involve transportation equipments(not including motor vehicles),motor vehicles,furniture,stationery and sporting goods,commodities and toys,with emphasis on the latter four categories in the prevention of product-related child injury.

Objective:To investigate the clinical impact factors of liver regeneration after hemihepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:Patients who underwent hemihepatectomy due to HCC from Sep 2013 to Sep 2018 were included in the study. Liver volumes were calculated by perioperative simulations to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative liver regeneration, and to compare the albumin bilirubin (ABLI) score and the end-stage liver disease (MELD) score at weeks 1, 5, 9, and 13 after operation.Results:A total of 163 patients were included, of which 13 developed postoperative liver failure. The median liver regeneration rates at 1, 5, 9 and 13 weeks after operation were 22.0%, 32.2%, 33.7% and 35.4%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that remnant liver volume (RLV) <611.1 cm 3, %RLV and liver cirrhosis were the influencing factors of liver regeneration. ALBI score and MELD score were lower in the low regeneration group compared to the high regeneration group in the first 5 weeks after operation. Conclusion:RLV and cirrhosis are influential factors in postoperative liver regeneration. Liver regeneration proceeded rapidly within 1 week and slowed down until week 5.

Objective: To explore the correlation between standard remnant liver volume(SRLV) and post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF)in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and cirrhotic livers.Methods:In total,181 patients who underwent hemihepa-tectomy in Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from September 2013 to August 2016 were enrolled in the study. Total liver,tumor,remnant liver,and resected liver volumes were measured using the Myrian liver surgical planning system before sur-gery. Intraoperative resected liver volume (including resected normal liver and tumor volumes) were collected using the drainage method.The patients were divided into the PHLF(22 cases)and non-PHLF groups(159 cases)according to whether PHLF occurred based on the"50/50"criteria.The risk factors of PHLF were then explored.The cut-off of SRLV and efficiency of predicting PHLF were analyzed in the subgroup of patients with cirrhotic livers.The grade of liver cirrhosis was retrospectively analyzed using helical comput-ed tomography(CT).Results:Twenty-two of the 181 patients developed PHLF and one died of it.Preoperative total bilirubin levels and SRLV were identified as independent factors for predicting PHLF using a Logistic regression model.In total,102 patients with cirrhotic livers were selected in subgroup analysis based on postoperative cirrhotic pathology.Eighteen patients developed PHLF and one died of PHLF in the subgroup.Using receiver-operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis,340 mL/m2was the cut-off of SRLV for patients with HCC and cirrhotic livers(area under the curve:0.861,P<0.01;sensitivity and specialty rates were 94.4% and 74.7%,respectively). Eighty-four cases were of grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ cirrhosis,18 cases were of grade Ⅲ cirrhosis,and there were no cases of grade Ⅳ cirrhosis based on retrospective analysis using helical CT.Conclusions:Patients with cirrhotic livers with an anticipated SRLV of≤340 Ml/m2after he-patic resection are at increased risk for PHLF after emihepatectomy.
