Objective To evaluate the role of multi-slice CT (MSCT) perfusion in early diagnosis of liver fibrosis. Methods Thirty-three subjects underwent CT perfusion of the liver. Among whom, 11 subjects were volunteers without hepatic disease and the other 22 subjects were pathologically confirmed with liver fibrosis who were further divided into slight (n= 10) and severe (n=12)liver fibrosis according to the lshak system. Parameters of CT perfusion were measured and compared among three groups. Results The mean hepatic arterial fraction in controls, light and severe fibrosis tended to increase with the severity of liver fibrosis[(18. 49 ± 9. 69) %, (19. 92 ± 6.01) % and (21.31±7.47)% ,respectively], and the mean mean transit time tended to decrease with the severity of liver fibrosis [(13.80 ± 2. 60) s, (12.35 ± 1.31) s and (12.19 ± 3.33) s, there was no significant difference in all parameters between any two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Quantitative measurement of hepatic blood supply can be obtained by CT perfusion. Some parameters will be helpful in staging fibrosis to a certain extent. But its clinical usefulness for the evaluation of the early diagnosis may not be affirmed yet.

Objective:To study the effects of plan-do-check-action (PDCA) cycle in quality improvement of neonatal resuscitation.Methods:From 2016 to 2020, the clinical data of neonates born in our hospital were analyzed. Neonates born during 2016 to 2017 were pre-PDCA group and neonates born during 2018 to 2020 were post-PDCA group. PDCA quality improvement included step-by-step, high-frequency and low-dose training, strengthening teamwork and adding equipment.Results:A total of 7 728 live-birth neonates were delivered before PDCA with 319 cases (4.1%) of asphyxia. 10 174 live-birth neonates were delivered after PDCA with 422 cases (4.1%) of asphyxia. The asphyxia rates showed no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidences of severe asphyxia before and after PDCA were both 0.8% without significant difference ( P>0.05). The success rates of resuscitation for severe asphyxia before and after PDCA was 27.9% and 44.9%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The mortality rates within 7 d before and after PDCA were 0.5‰ and 0.1‰ respectively, without significant differences ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of PDCA cycle and step-by-step, high-frequency, low-dose neonatal resuscitation training can effectively improve the success rate of resuscitation in newborns with severe asphyxia.

Objectives To observe the effect of amphiregulin (Areg) via lateral ventricle injection on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats and to investigate its possible mechanism. Methods A total of 96 3-month old health specified pathogen free SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=16 in each group):sham operation group (sham group),only exposure of common carotid artery and bifurcation;I/R group,making I/R model;solvent control group,lateral ventricle injection of standard protein solution(5 μl);Areg group,lateral ventricle injection of Areg(2 μg/5 μl);AG1478 group [AG1478,a blocker of Areg receptor epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),lateral ventricle injection of AG1478 (2.5 μg/5 μl);Areg combined AG1478 (AAG) group,lateral ventricle giving AG1478 (2.5 μg/5 μl),and then giving Areg (2 μg/5 μl) after 30 mm.The model of focal cerebral I/R injury was induced after 30 min administration of the above last 4 groups.After 24 h of reperfusion,the volume of cerebral infarction, the neurobehavioral score and the number of apoptotic cells in the brain tissue were compared among the groups. After 6 h of reperfusion,the phosphorylation levels of EGFR and protein kinase B(Akt)in ischemic brain tissue were detected. Results Compared with the sham group,the cerebral infarction volume and the number of apoptotic cells in brain tissue were increased significantly,while the neurobehavioral score was decreased(all P<0.05).Compared with the I/R group,the volume of cerebral infarction,the number of apoptotic cells in the brain tissue were decreased significantly,and the neurobehavioral score was increased in the Areg group,the levels of EGFR and Akt phosphorylation were significantly higher (all P <0. 05). Compared with the I/R group,the volume of cerebral infarction and the number of apoptotic cells of the AG1478 group were increased,the levels of EGFR and Akt phosphorylation were decreased(all P<0.05);Compared with the Areg group,the volume of cerebral infarction and the number of apoptotic cells of the AAG group and AG1478 group were increased significantly,and the levels of EGFR and Akt phosphorylation were decreased significantly(all P<0.05). Conclusions Areg reduces the infarct volume in ischemic brain tissue,improves nerve function,and inhibits apoptosis by activating EGFR-Akt signaling pathway. Therefore,it has some protective effect for cerebral I/R injury.
