Objective To provide information and assistance for research of bile duct injury in OLT through endoscopic observation and treatment of biliary complications after liver transplantation.Methods After OLT, all the cases in normal group, bile duct injury group and hepatic artery injury group were observed, diagnosed and recorded respectively. Meanwhile, the biopsy was performed through the endoscopy for pathological examination. For those cases without T tube, the biopsy was conducted by choledochoscopy in combination with duodenoscopy. Results The exterior and interior bile duct anatomy of the 9 cases in the normal group was normal. They had no bile duct stenosis and scar, their bile duct mucous membrane looked good and the anastomosis of the donor-receptor bile duct healed well. Restored mucous tissue coating with intact epithelium was found by pathological examination. Fibrous tissue and small vascular proliferation happened under epithelium scattered with plasmocyte and lymphocyte. Various kinds of bile duct stones-simple, multiple and casting mould type, were found in 12 cases with bile duct injury. Bile duet mucous membrane injured in different degrees was repaired after stone removed and obstruction relieved by endoscope. Bile duct tree becoming normal was seen by pacification examination. Three cases in the hepatic injury group had bile duct ischemic necrosis, losing of normal structure without bile duct wall and mucous membrane. Conclusion Bile ducts are injured in different degrees in OLT. The choledochofibroscopy is of the first choice for diagnosis and treatment of complications after OLT.

Objective To summarize our experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic splenic rupture (TSR), in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment effect of TSR. Methods Retrospective (analysis) of the diagnosis and treatment of 184 patients with traumatic splenic rupture in recent 9 years was made. Results The preoperative correct diagnosis rate was 96.7% and was established on the history of (injury), clinical presentation, abdominal paracentesis, abdominal ultrasonography and CT. All the 34 of (patients) treated nonoperatively were cured. Of the 150 patients treated by operation, two died during operation and 148 patients were cured. Conclusions Combination of obtaining a detailed history of injury, physical examination, abdominal paracentesis, abdominal ultrasonography and CT can improve the accuracy rate of (preoperative) diagnosis.Under the ensurrance of the safety of the patients' life, preservation of the spleen should be performed if possible, especially for children. Both splenorrhaphy with or without ligation of splenic artery are simple, safe and effective methods to salvage the spleen.

Objective To study HBeAg change in patients infected hepatitis B virus(HBV) with pre-C signal enzyme cleavage site mutation. Methods Mutation in pre-C signal enzyme cleavage site was detected by PCR-RFLP. The PreC/C gene with mutation was amplified by PCR and was cloned to EB viral eukarotic expression vector. Then transfect the vector with wild type or mutant PreC/C gene to HepG2 cell. SEAP reporter system was used to monitor the efficiency of transfection. HBeAg and its precursor in the supernatant and HepG2 cell were detected by ELISA and Western blot. Results HBeAg was positive in the supernatant of wild type and negative control in T1862 vaniant by ELISA. In HepG2 cell transfected with wild type, three proteins were detected by Western blot, they were HBeAg(17 000) and two HBeAg precursor(22 000 and 25 000). And in HepG2 cell transfected T1862 vaniant, only two HBeAg precursor was detected. The precursor in cells transfected withT1862 vaniant were significantly stronger than cells transfected with wild type. Conclusion Mutation in pre-C signal enzyme cleavage site may affect the decoration of HBeAg, which may cause great of HBeAg precursor locating in cells and lead to HBeAg negative in serum of patients infected with HBV.

Objective To use three different methods in attempt to estimate the biological dose of the patient partially exposed to 192Ir source at5.7 accident in Nanjing,so as to provide dosimetric information for clinical remedy of exposed patients in the emergency of a nuclear accident.Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected on days 5 after exposure.The biological dose was estimated by the yields of dicentrics plus rings ( dic + r),cytokinesis-block micronuclei (CBMN) assay and nucleoplasmic bridge plus FHC (NPB + FHC).The homogeneity of radiation exposure was examined by Poisson distribution of dicentrics.Results By using three different methods,the whole body equivalent dose was dic + r estimated to be 1.51 Gy (95％ CI 1.40-1.61),1.47 Gy (95％ CI 1.36-1.60) by CBMN and 1.30 Gy (95％ CI 1.00-1.60) by NPB + FHC,respectively.A non-poisson distribution was also detected,suggesting partial body radiation exposure.Conclusions The estimated whole body equivalent dose ot a non-uniform radiation exposure was consistent with clinical diagnosis,suggesting that the yields ofdic + r,CBMN,as well as NPB + FHC,are efficient approaches to the estimation of biological doses.

Objective To explore the natural attenuation pattern of three biological dose estimation indexes in vivo by investigating the effect on biological dosimetry of peripheral blood sampling at different time points from the victim partially exposed to 192Ir radiation source at5.7 accident in Nanjing.Methods Peripheral blood of the patient was collected on days 5,40 and 280 after exposure,respectively.The yields of dicentrics plus rings chromosomes (dic + r),cytokinesis-block micronuclei (CBMN) and nucleoplasmic bridge + fusion + horse shoe + circular(NPB + FHC) were analyzed.The dynamic reduction and dose estimation were both observed using the biomarkers mentioned above after exposure.Results Compared to the estimates on days 5 after exposure,the dose values estimated on days 40 and 280 decreased by 34％ and 49％ fordic + r method,48％ and 79％ for the CBMN assay,and 48％ and 75％ for NPN + FHC method,respectively.Conclusions Three biological dose estimation indexes show a progressive decrease in vivo,with the half-life of dic + r/cell being 40 days.The doses estimated using these three indexes on days 40 after exposure showed a relative deviation more than 20％ compared with those on days 5 after exposure.

Objective To establish a model of rat orthotopic liver transplantation and investigate the relationship among cold preservation time, activation of nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) and donor preservation injury after liver transplantation. Methods Orthotopic liver transplantation was performed in Wistar rats which were randomly divided into the following groups according to the different duration of liver cold storage in UW solution: group A (sham operation, n=10), group B NF-κB in liver before and after transplantation was measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assays; protein expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in the liver was measured by immunohistochemistry; the serum TNFα and IL-1β, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and hepatic cell apoptosis were examined. Results With extended cold storage duration, the activity of NF-κB in the donor liver increased (P<0.05, group D vs. groups A, B and C). TNF-α and IL-1β levels also increased (P<0.05, group D vs. groups A, B and C). Donor liver reperfusion injury was gradually aggravated with the prolonging of graft cold preservation. Both the serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels increased highly (P<0.05 group A vs. groups B, C and D),NF-κB in the liver significantly increased (P<0.05, group A vs. groups D, B and C) with gradual prolonging of graft cold preservation time. The serum ALT and AST level and apoptosis index level elevated greatly (P<0.05, group A vs. groups D, B and C). Conclusion NF-κB of donor liver was activated inductively in cold preservation phase and activated explosively in reperfusion phase. The longer cold preservation time was, the higher NF-κB level in donor liver became. NF-κB led to the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β in donor liver. Inflammatory factors are one of the most important mechanisms for the donor liver injury after liver transplantation.

Purpose To assess the clinical application of non-contrast-enhanced MR angiography (NCE-MRA) using flow sensitive dephasing (FSD) prepared steady-state free precession (SSFP) for displaying hand arteries of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and Methods Twenty-two patients with rheumatoid arthritis were recruited in this study. All the patients undertook hand NCE-MRA and three-dimensional dynamic CE-MRA on a 1.5T MR scanner. The informed consent was obtained from each subject. Image quality was assessed independently by two experienced radiologists at three arterial segments (wrist arteries, palm arteries, andfinger arteries) with a four-point scale. Signal to noise ratio (SNR), contrast to noise ratio (CNR), and vessel sharpness were evaluated by a magnetic resonance physicist. The results and image quality were statistically compared between the two MRA techniques.Results Twenty-two patients of 24 hands successfully underwent NCE-MRA and CE-MRA scan. Among 72 vascular segments, 69 segments of NCE-MRA were diagnostic, which was higher than that of CE-MRA (96% vs 83%,P<0.05). Otherwise, the image quality, SNR, CNR and vessel sharpness of NCE-MRA were all superior to those of CE-MRA (P<0.05).Conclusion NCE-MRA using FSD-prepared SSFP allows clear depiction of the hand arterial tree, and the image quality is superior to that of dynamic CE-MRA. It is a potential tool for evaluating the disease of hand arteries.

Objective To investigate balanced steady-state free precession with flow-sensitive dephasing magnetization preparation (FSD-bSSFP) in the assessment of arteries of foot in diabetic patients.Methods The lower-extremity peripheral arteries of 43 diabetic patients were evaluated by FSD-bSSFP no contrast MRA and contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA)in. Two experienced observers assessed the image quality, degree of venous contaminated and visibility of pedal artery branches by FSD-bSSFP and CE-MRA respectively in consensus. The signal intensity( SI), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the source images of both groups were measured and Wilcoxon and t tests were performed. Results The image score of FSD-bSSFP group was 2.7 ± 1.1 and CE-MRA was 2.6 ± 0.8, there was no statistical difference ( Z = 0. 134, P ＞ 0. 05 ). The image score of demonstration of the pedal artery branches and degree of venous contamination on FSD-bSSFP were 3.2 ± 0. 9 and 1.8 ± 0. 4 respectively which were superior to that of CE-MRA (2.5 ± 0.9 and 2.1 ± 0.8 respectively). Significant statistical difference existed between the two groups in demonstration of pedal artery branches ( Z = 5.246, P ＜ 0.05 ) and degree of venous contamination (Z =2.541 ,P ＜0.05). SNR of FSD-bSSFP was 148.6 ±26.7, CNR was 88.3 ± 19.0. SNR of CE-MRA was 148.5 ± 45.6, CNR was 121.0 ± 41.0. No statistical difference existed between SNR between two methods (t = 0.013, P ＞ 0.05 ). But CNR of CE-MRA was superior to that of FSD-bSSFP and significant statistical difference existed between these two methods ( t = 5.113, P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion FSD-bSSFP without contrast could be used in the evaluation of foot arteries in patients of renal dysfunction and diabetes.

Objective To investigate a dose response curve based on a genetic workstation with automatic analysis system of dicentric chromosome assay (DCA) for establishing a high speed dose estimation method.Methods Peripheral blood from three healthy volunteers was irradiated in vitro using 60Co γ-rays,and then lymphocytes were cultured and fixed on slides using the standard protocol for DCA.Dicentric chromosome in metaphase cells was analyzed automatically with the genetic workstation and confirmed manually,and the dose response curve of automated dicentric chromosome was fitted.Dicentric chromosome of another peripheral blood sample irradiated with different doses was manually analyzed to verify the accuracy of the above automated DCA.Results The yield of automated DCA was well fitted by an equation Y =0.018 06D2 + 0.012 79D + 0.000 489 1 with a correlation coefficient R2 =0.961.The biological dose of radiation could be accurately estimated by this dose response curve within a few minutes.Conclusions We had successfully established a new dosimetry method by analyzing dicentric chromesome automatically,which can save a lot of manual analysis time and hence has important significance for emergency rescue in nuclear accidents.
