Objective:To study magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differential diagnosis between benign and malignant gallbladder diseases.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 115 patients with gallbladder diseases managed at Nankai Hospital from August 2017 to August 2019. There were 50 males and 65 females, with the age of (57±12) years. Patients who underwent MRI and surgery were studied and the surgical histopathological examination was used as the gold standard. The MRI imaging findings in differentiating between benign and malignant gallbladder diseases were evaluated.Results:Of 115 patients, histopathological examination showed 70 patients had benign lesions, which included 24 gallbladder polyps, 19 adenomyomatosis of gallbladder, 18 gallstones or bile duct stones, and 9 gallbladder adenomas. Of the 45 patients with malignancies, there were 37 gallbladder adenocarcinomas and 8 squamous cell carcinomas of gallbladder. MRI examination on these 115 patients showed 64 benign and 42 malignant lesions. The overall compliance rate was 92.2% (106/115). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive and negative predictive value of MRI in the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant gallbladder diseases were 93.3% (42/45), 91.4% (64/70), 87.5% (42/48) and 95.5% (64/67), respectively. The Kappa value of MRI compared with the gold standard was 0.838, showing good consistency.Conclusion:MRI was useful, in the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant gallbladder diseases.

OBJECTIVE To explore validity and reliability of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) in adult patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux disease(LPRD). METHODS Randomized and placebo-controlled clinical trials regarding the effectiveness of PPIs on LPRD patients were systematically extracted from PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WANFANG from the beginning of indexing to August 2017. After selection and quality assessment, data were extracted from eligible studies meeting the exclusion and inclusion criteria. The Review Manager software(version 5.2, The Cochrane Collaboration) was performed for all of the statistical analysis in this meta-analysis. The level of evidence was assessed by the GRADE (Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation). RESULTS The sample comprised 14 RCTs including a pooled total of 821 LPRD patients were eligible for this meta-analysis, of which 447 and 374 patients took PPIs and placebo, respectively. Pooled results demonstrated that total RSI significantly improved for patients who received PPI therapy by comparing with those receiving placebo [SDM=2.12, 95%CI(0.80; 3.45), P<0.05]. PPI treatment group showed effective in response rate [OR=1.62, 95%CI (0.89, 2.95), P>0.05], but the differences between PPIs and placebo groups was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION PPI treatment could significantly improve reflux symptoms in LPRD patients, therefore, should be taken into consideration for LPRD management with other strategies, such as lifestyle modification.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of optimization of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with pre-scan size-specific dose estimate(SSDE).Methods:Ninety patients from Quzhou People′s Hospital during March and May 2018 who underwent CCTA were defined as modelled patients, the regression equation of body mass index (BMI) and water-equivalent diameter ( dw) were conducted and upper quartile of CTDI vol values was calculated. Other 67 patients were divided into two groups: control group (CCTA scan protocol, based on CTDI vol) and study group (CCTA scan protocol using SSDE). The image quality and radiation dose including breast dose (Dose bre) in two groups were assessed. Results:The positive correlation was found between BMI and dw with a linear regression equation of dw=9.241 + 0.644×BMI( r=0.823, P<0.05), and the upper quartile of CTDI vol was 7.92 mGy. The proportions of high-level image quality were 94.10% (367/390) and 93.93% (402/428) in the control and study groups, respectively ( P>0.05). The median signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) were 21.08/24.39, 17.24/19.94 in the control and study groups, respectively ( P>0.05). The CTDI vol, SSDE and Dbreof the study group were reduced by 37.04%, 35.77% and 37.37% compared with the control group, and statistically significant differences were found( z=-7.041, t=18.479, 15.079, P<0.05) among them. Conclusions:The CCTA scan protocol based on the pre-scan SSDE can significantly reduce the radiation dose and provide the diagnostic image quality.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features of liver function and coagulation function in patients with Alongshan virus (ALSV) infection. MethodsClinical data were collected from 27 patients with ALSV infection who were admitted to Inner Mongolia General Forestry Hospital from May 2018 to September 2019, among whom there were 18 male patients and 9 female patients. Related data were extracted, and a database of relevant case reports was established. The descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the clinical features of liver function and coagulation markers, and the features of liver injury caused by ALSV infection were analyzed. ResultsFor the 27 patients, the abnormal rates of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), cholinesterase, and total bile acid were 25.9%, 33.3%, 25.9%, 40.7%, 8%, and 8%, respectively; among the 27 patients, 4 (14.8%) had an ALT level of >2×upper limit of normal (ULN), 3 (11.1%) had an AST level of >2×ULN, 1 (3.7%) had an ALP level of >2×ULN, and 5 (18.5%) had a GGT level of >2×ULN. Among the 27 patients, 25 (17 male patients and 8 female patients) had the results of bilirubin test, among whom 1 had a reduction in total bilirubin (TBil) (3.30 μmol/L) and 3 had an increase in TBil (23.7 μmol/L, 26.2 μmol/L, and 32 μmol/L, respectively). The abnormal rates of the coagulation markers international normalized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, and fibrinogen were 3.7%, 11.1%, and 22.2%, respectively. ConclusionThere is a certain degree of liver injury in patients with ALSV infection, generally with mild symptoms.

Objective:To investigate the techniques of digit-tip replantation with anastomosis of superior digital arch artery in children and to evaluate the clinical effects.Methods:From January 2020 to September 2022, 62 children (62 digits) with completely severed digit-tips were admitted to the Department of Paediatric Orthopaedics, Suzhou Ruihua Orthopaedic Hospital. All the injury planes were distal to the nail root. All arterial dissections were distal to the digital arterial arch with the vessel calibre from 0.15 mm to 0.35 mm. The superior arch arteries of the digital arterial arch were successfully anastomosed. After surgery, a significant blood flux to the replanted digit body were observed. Postoperative necroses or failures were analysed for the causes. All children with survived digit-tips were entered into scheduled follow-ups through a combination of visit of outpatient clinics or via WeChat and telephone reviews. Postoperative follow-up included digit body fullness, motion of distal interphalangeal joint, nail growth, scarring, and response of the replanted digit-tips to needling. Clinical outcomes were evaluated according to the evaluation criteria for finger replantation function.Results:Of the 62 replanted digit-tips, 56 survived after replantation. Two digits had wound infection after surgery, and survived by dressing change and applying sensitive antibiotics. Necrosis occurred in 6 replanted digit-tips, of which 2 necrotic digit bodies were amputated, and the stumps at the distal interphalangeal joint were repaired. The other 4 necrotic digits were healed after dressing change under the scab due to a smaller digit body. A total of 52 children (including 2 survivals from postoperative infection after dressing changes and 4 survivals with healing underneath-eschar after necrosis) and with 10 lost during follow-up (including 2 with stump repairs after necrosis). The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 30 months, with an average of 6 months. The shape and function of replanted digit-tips recovered well. According to the evaluation criteria for finger replantation function, 44 digits were of excellent, 6 of good, and 2 of fair.Conclusion:In children, the superior arch arteries of digital arterial arches of the digit-tips are small in diameter. However, the vessels in smaller calibres can be anastomosed, should proper surgical techniques are applied. Therefore, due to the satisfactory outcomes, microsurgeons should try the best efforts to replant a digit severed at the plane of digit-tip.

Objective:To investigate the effects of continuous blood purification (CBP) on mitochondrial function of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and clinical prognosis of patients with traumatic sepsis.Methods:A prospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 90 patients with traumatic sepsis admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Shaoxing People′s Hospital from January 2023 to June 2024. Based on standard operating procedures (SOP), patients were divided into CBP group and non-CBP group according to whether they received CBP treatment. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number, activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex V, levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 in the mononuclear cells on ICU admission and at 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment were compared between the two groups. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score on ICU admission and at 48 hours after treatment were detected in the two groups. The length of ICU stay, total length of hospital stay and 28-day mortality after ICU admission were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 90 patients with traumatic sepsis were included, comprising 56 males and 34 females, aged 18-82 years [51.3(38.7, 70.6)years], with injury severity score (ISS) of 16-54 points [36.2(17.0, 53.6)points]. There were 52 patients in the CBP group and 38 in the non-CBP group. All the patients were followed up for 7-14 days [10.0(8.0, 12.0)days]. On ICU admission, the mtDNA copy number was 638.5±124.0 in the CBP group and 634.7±122.1 in the non-CBP group ( P>0.05). At 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment, the mtDNA copy number in the CBP group was 564.2±105.6, 415.7±83.5 and 303.7±77.0 respectively, significantly lower than 622.9±120.2, 581.5±113.6, 530.7±97.8 in the non-CBP group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment, the mtDNA copy number in both groups continued to decrease compared with that on ICU admission ( P<0.05). On ICU admission, the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅴ was (74.0±26.0)pg/ml in the CBP group and (72.8±25.3)pg/ml in the non-CBP group ( P>0.05); at 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment, it was (69.4±24.2)pg/ml, (78.3±26.8)pg/ml and (91.5±33.5)pg/ml respectively in the CBP group, significantly higher than (65.3±23.6)pg/ml, (60.7±19.4)pg/ml and (53.8±16.9)pg/ml in the non-CBP group ( P<0.05 or 0.01); at 12 hours after treatment, it was decreased in both groups compared with that on ICU admission ( P<0.05); at 24 and 48 hours after treatment, it was gradually increased in the CBP group compared with those on ICU admission and at 12 hours after treatment ( P<0.05), while in the non-CBP group, it continued to decrease ( P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 on ICU admission were (51.6±17.1)pg/ml, (174.1±57.3)pg/ml and (67.6±16.2)pg/ml respectively in the CBP group and (49.5±16.7)pg/ml, (177.8±58.7)pg/ml and (65.7±16.6)pg/ml respectively in the non-CBP group ( P>0.05). At 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment, the levels of TNF-α in the CBP group were (43.6±15.6)pg/ml, (29.4±12.5)pg/ml and (26.2±10.6)pg/ml respectively, the IL-6 levels were (122.4±41.7)pg/ml, (90.6±33.1)pg/ml, (75.6±24.7)pg/ml respectively and the IL-10 levels were (72.6±18.1)pg/ml, (80.7±20.6)pg/ml, (86.2±22.9)pg/ml respectively, which were significantly lower than (48.8±16.2)pg/ml, (46.5±15.5)pg/ml, (40.0±14.2)pg/ml at 12 hours after treatment, (168.4±51.6)pg/ml, (131.5±42.7)pg/ml, (112.7±35.8)pg/ml at 24 hours after treatment, and (78.6±19.3)pg/ml, (91.1±23.8)pg/ml, (99.4±26.6)pg/ml at 48 hours after treatment in the non-CBP group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in both groups continued to decrease, while the levels of IL-10 continued to increase compared with those on ICU admission ( P<0.05). On ICU admission, the APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA scores were (20.6±10.5)points and (6.2±1.9)points in the CBP group and (21.2±11.2)points and (6.7±2.1)points in the non-CBP group ( P>0.05). At 48 hours after treatment, the APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA scores were (13.5±6.6)points and (2.7±0.6)points in the CBP group, which were significantly lower than (18.3±9.3)points and (5.3±1.5)points in the non-CBP group ( P<0.01). At 48 hours after treatment, the APACHE II and SOFA scores in both groups were significantly decreased compared with those on ICU admission ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The length of ICU stay, total length of hospital stay and 28-day mortality after ICU admission were (13.0±5.7)days, (20.4±8.6)days and 19.2% (10/52) respectively, which were significantly shorter and smaller than (17.6±6.6)days, (26.5±9.4)days and 31.6% (12/38) in the non-CBP group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:CBP treatment may reduce the release of mtDNA by alleviating the mitochondrial damage of the mononuclear cells in patients with traumatic sepsis so that the release of inflammatory factors and cellular apoptosis is reduced, and improve the state of cell energy metabolism and cellular immune function by increasing the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex V in the mononuclear cells, and participate in the reconstruction of immune homeostasis of the body so the inflammatory state and clinical prognosis of the patients are improved.
