Objective To observe the bone marrow signals of acetabulum and proximal femur of asymptomatic non?professional marathoners by 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1WI, and evaluate the bone marrow transformation, so as to obtain the effect of Marathon exercise on bone marrow composition and function. Methods The study group was randomly selected to participate in and complete the whole marathon at least once a year in the past two years. The training mileage of long?distance running was not less than 1 600 kilometers per year. There were no symptoms such as hip pain. There were no abnormalities in hip joint physical examination. The age of 22?53 years old. A total of 31 and 62 hips were evaluated. The control group was randomly selected 29 healthy persons (58 hip joints), aged 23?53 years, without hip pain and regular exercise. All subjects underwent hip joint MRI scan, and the hip joint MRI showed normal. At least 12 hours before MR scan, he did not engage in long?distance running or other sports. The bone marrow signal intensity of acetabulum and proximal femur in T1WI was compared with that of surrounding muscles and fat. The signal intensity was graded from low to high and evaluated by grade. The research group was divided into two groups according to the training years of marathon (running age). The running age of group A was more than 4 years and group B was less than 4 years. The distribution of bone marrow signal in proximal femur was also evaluated by a more intuitive 3?4 classification method. Mann?Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis. Results Bone marrow signal grading evaluation showed that there were significant differences in bone marrow signal grade distribution between the two groups (Z=-6.828, -4.779, -3.046,-5.266,-3.490,-5.053, P<0.05). In the study group, there were 14, 28 hips and 168 parts in group A, 17, 34 hips and 204 parts in group B, bone marrow signals were graded. There were significant differences in acetabulum, femoral neck and upper femoral shaft bone (Z=-2.202, -2.214, -2.730, P<0.05), but no significant differences in femoral head, trochanter and trochanter bone (Z=-0.886,-1.642,-0.711, P>0.05). To evaluate the classification of bone marrow signals in proximal femur, 62 cases of bone marrow signals in the study group were classified as follows: 10 cases with type 1a, 24 cases with type 1b, 17 cases with type 2 and 11 cases with type 3. In the control group, 58 cases of bone marrow signals in proximal femur were classified as follows: 2 cases with type 1a, 13 cases with type 1b, 26 cases with type 2 and 17 cases with type 3. There were significant differences between the two groups (Z=-4.003, P<0.05). Conclusion The T1WI signal intensity of asymptomatic non?professional marathoners′acetabulum and proximal femur bone marrow is lower than that of non?marathoners; the T1WI signal intensity of acetabulum, femoral neck and upper femoral shaft bone marrow of the elderly runners is lower; that is, marathon exercise has certain influence on the bone marrow signal of acetabulum and proximal femur, that is, the change of bone marrow signal in weight?bearing area has a certain phase with the amount of exercise.

Objective:To explore the distribution of perihip stress in male marathon runners and normal volunteers during the gait cycle using finite element analysis.Methods:In November 2022, the hip joint CT image data of a male marathon runner and a male healthy volunteer was collected. The gait cycle was divided into 7 phases, including the foot to the ground, the early, middle, and late period of one-foot support, the toe push and extension period, and the beginning and end of the swing. A three-dimensional finite element model was constructed based on the gray value of CT and according to the individualized material attribute assigning scheme. The dynamic change of hip joint contact force during the gait cycle was applied to the load, and the biomechanical qualitative analysis of the model was carried out through the equivalent stress results. Based on qualitative analysis, the same 10 nodes on the front, middle, and back of the model acetabulum, the front, and back of the femoral head, and the neck of the femur were extracted as equivalent stress reference points, and the biomechanical quantitative analysis of the model was carried out.Results:During the gait cycle, according to the hip equivalent stress distribution diagram, the contact on the articular surface of the two subjects mainly occurred in the posterior upper part of the acetabulum and the posterior part of the femoral head and gradually moved outward and backward with the joint force during walking. From the point of view of the stress distribution nodes around the hip joint, the stress changes of the nodes in each part of the two subjects showed bimodal characteristics with the load inside the hip joint at each phase. The internal stress value of the hip joint showed a gradual upward trend from the foot to the ground, reached the maximum stress in the middle period of one-foot support, then decreased, and slightly increased in the toe push and extension period. Then, the stress values at the beginning and end of the swing gradually decreased until entering the next gait cycle. The stress values in the posterior acetabulum and posterior femoral head of the marathon runner were smaller than those of the healthy volunteer.Conclusion:The stress around the hip joint was different between marathon runner and healthy volunteer, but the stress distribution and transmission path were the same.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic value of modified multipoint drainage for biliary complications after liver transplantation.Methods:A total of 125 patients treated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for biliary complications after liver transplantation in Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from May 2018 to May 2020 were enrolled. Patients were divided into endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) group ( n=67, treated with multiple drainage of bile duct stent) and modified multipoint drainage group [ n=58, treated with ERBD combined with endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD)] by random number table. Modified multipoint drainage group were further randomly divided into two groups, modification group 1, 31 cases, where nasobiliary ducts were cut proximal to duodenal papilla after one week under endoscopy and modification group 2, 27 cases, where they were cut proximal to duodenal papilla after two weeks under endoscopy. The changes of serological indexes in 2 weeks after the operation in three groups were compared, and the incidence of short-term and long-term complications were analyzed. Results:The serological indexes were improved in patients at 1 d, 7 d and 14 d after ERCP, especially in modified multipoint drainage groups. Two weeks after the operation, the improvement of serological indexes in modification group 2 was better than that in modification group 1. Incidence of recent complications including cholangitis, hyperamylasinemia, and pancreatitis in the ERBD group were higher than those in modification group 1 [32.84% (22/67) VS 12.90% (4/31), 46.27% (31/67) VS 19.35% (6/31), 20.90% (14/67) VS 3.23% (1/31), all P<0.05] and modification group 2 [32.84% (22/67) VS 11.11% (3/27), 46.27% (31/67) VS 22.22% (6/27), 20.90% (14/67) VS 3.70% (1/27), all P<0.05]. ERBD group had a higher incidence of long-term complications including recurrent biliary infection and jaundice than modification group 1 [ 58.21% (39/67) VS 35.48% (11/31), P=0.036; 49.25% (33/67) VS 25.81% (8/31), P=0.027] and modification group 2 [58.21% (39/67) VS 11.11% (3/27), P<0.001; 49.25% (33/67) VS 25.93% (7/27), P=0.038]. The incidence of recurrent biliary infection in modification group 1 was higher than that in modification group 2 [35.48% (11/31) VS 11.11% (3/27), P=0.030]. Conclusion:Multiple drainage with indwelling nasal bile duct by ERCP can effectively reduce the short-term and long-term complications and improve the recovery of serological indexes for patients with biliary complications after liver transplantation. It is suggested that the nasobiliary duct should be retained for 2 weeks and then transformed into a built-in tube to continue drainage.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)or detecting the occurrence of acute rejection(AR)after heart transplantation(HT).Methods:From 2019 to 2021, 44 HT recipients are prospectively recruited from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital.Another 51 healthy volunteers are recruited from a local community as healthy controls.CMR studies are performed for obtaining baseline parameters.According to the clinicopathological diagnostic criteria of AR by the consensus of International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation, 81 CMR studies of 44 HT recipients are further divided into two groups of AR (18 cases)and non-AR(71 cases). CMR parameters includ global ventricular structure/function, T2, T1, extracellular volume(ECV)and late gadolinium enhancement(LGE). A combined model is established by binary Logistic regression and receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC)constructed.Results:The age range is(41.8±16.8)years in 44 HT recipients and(41.8±9.7)years in 51 healthy controls.T1 mapping indicated that myocardial global ECV of left ventricle is significantly higher in AR patients than non-AR controls(32.4%±6.0% vs 28.5%±2.4%; P<0.001 9). Global native T1 is higher in AR group than that in non-AR group(49.8±3.1 vs 47.5±2.8 ms, P=0.009)and the difference is statistically significant.The cutoff value of global ECV is 30.62% with a sensitivity of 61% and a specificity of 86% for detecting AR.And T2 mapping reveale that T2 value of global left ventricle is significantly higher in AR group than that in non-AR group(49.8±3.1 vs 47.5±2.8 ms, P=0.009). LGE extent is significantly higher in AR group than those in non-AR group( P=0.004). Through including global native T1 and ECV into a logistic regression model, multiparametric CMR can yield an area under curve(AUC)of 0.794.It hints at the potential of CMR for detecting AR. Conclusions:Multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance offers an excellent predictive capacity for a noninvasive detection of AR.

Objective:To investigate difficult-to-treat sites in patients with psoriasis receiving biological therapy.Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 73 adult patients with psoriasis in the database of Psoriasis Center, National Clinical Research Center for Skin and Immune Diseases from June 2020 to September 2021, who had received sufficient and standardized treatment with biological agents for ≥ 24 weeks, and were still treated with biological agents at the time of enrolment into this study with the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score being 1 - 5 at the time of enrolment into the database of Psoriasis Center. Distribution of psoriatic lesions resistant to biological therapy were analyzed, and differences in refractory sites were compared between different biologics. Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test was used to analyze differences in the anatomical distribution of residual skin lesions after treatment with different biologics, McNemar test to compare the anatomical distribution of skin lesions before and after biological therapy, and Kruskal-Wallis H test to analyze the association between PASI scores for residual skin lesions and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) scores. Results:After ≥ 24 weeks of sufficient and standardized biological therapy in the 73 patients, refractory skin lesions mostly involved the lower limbs (46 cases, 63.01%) , followed by the scalp (36 cases, 49.32%) and upper limbs (27 cases, 36.99%) ; proportions of patients with residual skin lesions on the face and neck, trunk, upper limbs, lower limbs, hands and feet significantly decreased after biological therapy compared with those before treatment (paired χ2 = 5.14, 7.69, 9.90, 4.17 and 6.13, P = 0.016, 0.003, 0.001, 0.031 and 0.008, respectively) , while there was no significant difference in the proportions of patients with skin lesions on the scalp and genital areas before and after treatment (both P > 0.05) . No significant difference in the anatomical distribution of residual skin lesions was observed between the 13 patients receiving treatment with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (adalimumab, infliximab, or tumor necrosis factor receptor-antibody fusion protein) and 59 receiving treatment with interleukin-17 (IL-17) inhibitors (secukinumab or ixekizumab) (all P > 0.05) . There was no significant difference in the anatomical distribution of residual skin lesions in the 13 patients before and after the treatment with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (all P > 0.05) ; in the 59 patients treated with IL-17 inhibitors, the proportions of patients with residual skin lesions on the trunk, upper limbs, hands and feet significantly decreased after treatment (paired χ2 = 4.90, 9.09 and 7.11, P = 0.021, 0.001 and 0.004, respectively) , while there was no significant difference in the distribution of skin lesions on the scalp, face and neck, lower limbs and genital area before and after treatment (all P > 0.05) . Among the 73 patients, the PASI scores for lesions on the upper and lower limbs and the total PASI scores were all associated with the DLQI scores ( H = 7.52, 12.61, 6.75, respectively, all P < 0.05) , and were significantly higher in the patients with DLQI scores of > 10 points than in those with DLQI scores of ≤ 5 points (all P < 0.05) . Conclusions:Biological therapy-resistant psoriatic lesions were mostly located on the scalp, and refractory skin lesions mostly involved the lower limbs, scalp and upper limbs. No significant difference in the anatomical distribution of residual skin lesions was observed between patients treated with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors and IL-17 inhibitors, but IL-17 inhibitors may result in lesion clearance at more anatomical sites compared with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors.
