Objective: To investigate the protective effects and the mechanism of the preconditioning with hypertonic saline against warm hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. Methods: Sixty patients who underwent partial liver resection were randomly assigned to 3 groups (n =20): group 1 without Pringle maneuver(NPR); group 2 with Pringle maneuver (PR), and group 3 with 7.5% hypertonic saline 4ml/kg preconditioning (HS) 5 minutes before Pringle maneuver for resection and in group 2 , 4ml/kg normal saline were given. Blood samples were obtained at 3, 15, and 30 minutes before and after liver resection, and 2, 24, and 48 hours following resection of the liver for polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) count and serum alanine transminase levels test. In addition, small pieces of liver tissue were cut from remaining liver before resection and 30 minutes after resection to determine MPO concentrations. Results: Following partial liver resection via NPR, no changes in the concentration of circulating PMN and liver MPO concentrations were observed. But in the PR and HS group PMN counts significantly decreased and liver MPO concentrations significantly increased. Serum ALT levels increased in all groups significantly 24 and 48 hours after resection. All of these changes were most pronounced in the PR group and significantly reduced by hypertonic saline. Conclusion: Preconditioning with 7.5% hypertonic saline can protect liver from warm ischemia reperfusion injury and the possible mechanism was the inhibition of PMN accumulation in the liver.

Purpose To investigate the CT gemstone spectral imaging features of gastric stromal tumors (GST), so as to discuss the value of CT gemstone spectral imaging in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of GST. Materials and Methods Thirty patients with GST proved pathologically were scanned by gemstone spectral imaging. Their GSI scanning image data and the related clinical data were retrospectively analyzed, and the quantitative analysis based on iodine content of the lesions in both arterial phase and portal phase was carried out. Results The GSI findings showed that the lesions were intra-luminal, extra-luminal or both intra-and extra-luminal soft tissue mass, the sizes were various, and they protruded either toward the inner side of stomach or the opposite or both. Among them, the diameter of 4 tumors in the low risk group ranged from 1 to 5 cm; in the intermediate risk group, 3 tumors had diameters from 1 to 5 cm, and 3 others were from 6 to 19 cm; in high-risk group, 18 tumors' diameter were between 6 to 9 cm, 2 were between 1 to 5 cm, and the rest 1 had multiple lesions in various sizes. Fifteen tumors occurred in gastric body, 10 occurred in gastric antrum, 4 were at the bottom of the stomach, and 1 had multifocal growth. Sixteen patients had internal and external growth of lesions, among whom 14 patients were at high risk; 10 patients' lesions were outside the cavity, including 6 patients at high risk and 1 patient at low risk; and 4 patients had lesions inside the cavity, including 3 patients at low risk. At the arterial phase the foci mildly strengthened, and they strengthened increasingly at the portal phase. The material value based water and iodine figure showed that material value based iodine of the lesions at both arterial phase and portal phase was higher than that in the normal gastric wall tissue, and the material value based iodine of the lesions at portal phase was higher than that at arterial phase (F=378.6 and 296.6, P<0.05). At arterial phase, the iodine content of the lesions in the mucosa was slightly higher than that in the submucosa and muscular layer (t= - 2.245, P<0.05). Conclusion CT gemstone spectral imaging can accurately show the external forms and internal changes of GST lesions and iodine content measurement can provide quantitative diagnostic information, therefore they can provide more effective information for clinical diagnosis.
