Objective To evaluate the intracranial arterial collateral blood flow pathways and the changes of hemodynamics. Methods A total of 29 patients with unilateral internal carotid artery occlusion were selected. In these cases, their ophthalmic arteries(OA) and cerebral arteries were observed using transcranial color Doppler ultrasonography (TCCD), color Doppler energy imaging(CDE) and contrast-enhanced color Doppler ultrasonography. Collateral pathways through the ill-lateral OA, anterior and ill-lateral posterior communicating artery(ACoA and PCoA, respectively) were demonstrated by reversal of blood flow in the ipsilateral OA, reversal of blood flow in the ipsilateral A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery(ACA) or decrease of blood flow velocity in ipsilateral middle cerebral arteries (MCA) during contralateral common carotid artery(CCA) compression and the increase of blood flow velocity in ipsilateral P1 segment of the posterior cerebral artery(PCA) during ipsilateral CCA compression, respectively. Results ①Among 29 cases, bilateral OA of 29 patients(100%) and bilateral MCA, ACA and PCA of 16 patients ( 55.2 %) could be visualized by TCCD and CDE. The other 13 patients( 44.8 %) can be seen clearly only after contrast-enhanced color Doppler ultrasonography. ② There were intracranial arterial collateral blood flow pathways of 29 patients(100%) through OA, 24 patients( 82.7 %) ACoA and 2 patients ( 6.8 %) PCoA, respectively. ③ The blood flow velocity was higher in ill-lateral OA than in contralateral OA, but PI and RI lower( P

Objective To investigate the methods for reconstructing portal vein in liver transplantation patients with grade Ⅳ portal vein thrombosis.Methods Clinical data of 6 patients with grade Ⅳ portal vein thrombosis who underwent liver transplantations were analyzed retrospectively.Different portal vein reconstructing approaches were applied: 4 patients underwent portal vein anastomosis with internal organ varicosis vein (group A),and 2 patients underwent portal vein arterialization (group B). Portal venous flow was monitored by intraoperative ultrasound and postoperative liver function was tested periodically during follow-up.Results In group A,one patient died of celiac infection 2 months post-transplantation.The remaining three patients were followed up for 14-17 months,and their portal veins remained smooth without thrombosis and with mitigated esophageal varicosity.In group B,one patient,with recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding,died of celiac infection 47 days after liver transplantation.The patient was followed up for 33 months with satisfactory liver and kidney functions although stomach esophagus varicosity was aggravated.Portal vein blood flow in groups A and B was 1258 ± 345 and 2275 ± 247 ml/min respectively after anastomosis by intraoperative color Dopplar ultrasound monitoring. Aspertate aminotransferase (AST) in group B was significantly lower on the fourth day after liver transplantation,and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in group B was significantly lower on the 3rd,4th,5th and 6th day after liver transplantation than in group A (all P<0.05).Serum total bilirubin (TBIL) had no statistically significant difference during the 10 days post-operation (P>0.05).Conclusion Patients with grade Ⅳ portal vein thrombosis may achieve a satisfactory clinical effect by reconstructing portal vein through anastomosis of donor portal vein with internal organ? varicosis vein.PVA may be associated with early recovery of graft function and may be an effective remedial measure for patients with grade Ⅳ portal vein thrombosis who undergo liver transplantation.

Abstract: Objective In order to provide reference for emergency treatment of a sudden food poisoning incident, pathogen detection and drug resistance analysis were carried out. Methods Diarrheal stool and surplus food samples were detected by GB 4789 and the isolates were identified by VITEK2 and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), at the same time, the bacterial drug sensitivity test was carried out by using the method of microbroth dilution, and the isolates from different sources were molecularly classified by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and the correlation between the strains was analyzed by BioNumerics software. Results Totaly 13 leftovers and 3 diarrhea patients were isolated and identified, The total number of colonies and coliforms in 7 leftovers samples all exceeded the standard, and Citrobacter freundii was detected in 5 leftovers and 2 stools. The results of drug sensitivity test showed that seven strains of Citrobacter freundii were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, amikacin, cefotaxime and meropenem, but completely resistant to ampicillin, and there was no multiple drug resistance. The results of pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) showed that 7 strains of Citrobacter freundii had the same PFGE bands and 100% homology, showing the same clone. Conclusions This food poisoning incident was caused by Citrobacter freundii. The pathogen of food poisoning can be quickly and accurately determined by MALDI-TOF MS, which is beneficial to the early diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. It is suggested to strengthen the corresponding management, improve food safety awareness and prevent similar incidents.
