Objective To study the enhancement patterns of hilar bile duct wall of ischemic-type biliary lesion (ITBL) on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).Methods Eighteen healthy subjects,18 orthotropic liver transplantation (OLT) recipients without complications,and 36 patients,which were subdivided into 2 groups according to the final diagnosis:patients with (n =24) and without (n =12)ITBL,were enrolled in this study.The patients without ITBL had anastomotic biliary stricture (n =3),cholangitis (n =4),biliary sludge (n =1),and acute rejection (n =4),respectively.The images of baseline sonography and CEUS were retrospectively analyzed in consensus by 2 readers.The enhancement time and level of hilar bile duct wall,hepatic artery and liver parenchyma were recorded.Results Hilar bile duct wall became enhancing earlier than liver parenchyma in all of 4 groups.During arterial phase,hyper-or isoenhancing bile duct walls were present in most cases in the groups of healthy subjects,OLT recipients without complications and patients without ITBL.However,non-or hypo-enhancement of hilar bile duct wall were present in 16 (66.7％) ITBL patients,which is different from the other groups (P ＜0.05).Conclusions The main features of ITBL differing from the other groups were non-or hypo-enhancement of hilar bile duct wall in arterial phase.It may be a diagnostic index to apply in detecting ITBL with CEUS.

Objective To assess the difference between two-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasonography ( 2D-CEUS ) and three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasonography ( 3D-CEUS ) in evaluating hepatic arteries in the liver transplantation. Methods Both 2D-CEUS and 3D-CEUS were used to examine 26 liver transplantation donors and recipients. Fifteen patients who were confirmed by CTA or DSA or MRA were analyzed. The image' s quality and diagnostic levels of 2D-CEUS and 3D-CEUS were compared, and the diagnostic information about anatomic features of hepatic arteries provided by the two methods was evaluated. Results 1) The image' s quality of 2D-CEUS and 3D-CEUS were 3. 62 ± 0. 41, 2. 52 ± 0. 93, respectively. The difference between them was statistically significant ( P <0. 05). 2)When evaluating anatomic features ,2D-CEUS and 3D-CEUS had no significant difference in common hepatic artery (CHA) and proper hepatic artery (PHA). But 3D-CEUS was prior to 2D-CEUS in left hepatic artery (LHA) ,right hepatic artery(RHA) and segmental hepatic artery(SHA) ( P <0. 05). 3)Five hepatic artery complications were discovered by CTA or DSA or MRA in 15 patients. In 4 patients (80%) ,both 2D-CEUS and 3D-CEUS made the affirmative diagnoses in accordance with the results. However, 2D-CEUS made a false positive diagnosis and 3D-CEUS corrected it. Conclusions The 3D-CEUS could provide more diagnostic information,could confirm or correct some diagnosis of 2D-CEUS,but,its image's quality is not as good as 2D-CEUS. Therefore,combining the 3D-CEUS with 2D-CEUS has practical clinical value in liver transplantation.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of renal function defects after urinary obstruction and investigate the effect of sirolimus on the expression of γ-ENaC,Na + K + ATPase and AQP2,and its mechanism of renal Water-Electrolyte imbalance following bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO) in rat kidneys.Methods Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group ( sham group),a BUO group,and a sirolimus treatment after BUO group.Bilateral ureters were exposed and occluded with ligature in the BUO and sirolimus treatment groups.Twenty-four hours later,the obstructed ureters were decompressed by removal of the ligature.The sham animal group underwent identical surgical procedures,but the ureter was simply dissected without removal of the ligature.The sirolimus treatment groups was given sirolimus intragastricly 0.4 ml per day (2 mg/kg · d) from the day before surgery until the rats were scari fled.The sham and BUO groups were given the same volume of intragastric saline.The urine and blood were collected at 4 d,7 d after surgery,and the functional data were observed.The expression of γ-ENaC,Na+K + ATPase and AQP2 were examined by immnohistochemistry and immunoblotting.Results On day four and seven post ureteral obstruction release,urine volume in the BUO group were (85.31 ± 13.15,66.39 ±10.56 ml),significantly higher than that of sham operation (35.36 ± 7.74,33.90 ± 8.03 ml) and sirolimus treatment groups (69.81 ± 10.70 ml,48.57 ± 9.01 ml) (P ＜ 0.05 ).Urine sodium concentrations in the BUO group were (42.17 ± 7.35 mmol/L,43.63 ± 18.39 mmoL/L),significantly lower than that of sham operation ( 170.56 ± 18.39 mmoL/L,172.52 ± 7.35 mmol/L) and sirolimus treatment groups (76.18 ± 13.20 mmol/L,134.28 ± 13.20 mmol/L),P ＜ 0.05.Immunoblotting assay showed that,on day four and seven post rats ureteral obstructions were released,integral optical density of γ-ENaC (2.09 ±0.32,2.27 ±0.35),Na+ K+ATP enzyme (2.41 ±0.48,2.67 ±0.43) and AQP2 (2.17 ±0.45,2.63 ±0.28) in the sirolimus treatment group were significantly higher than those of BUO group ( 1.28 ± 0.21,1.45 ±0.17) (1.99 ±0.28,2.18±0.24) (0.93 ±0.22,1.31 ±0.16),but still lower than the sham group (2.58±0.51,2.60±0.56) (2.89±0.53,2.97 ±0.66) (3.05 ±0.63,3.10±0.67).There were significant differences among all the three groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions The downregulation of γ-ENaC,Na + K + ATPase and AQP2 expression after BUO may contribute to the impaired renal tubular sodium reabsorption,decreased urinary concentration,and postobstructive polyuria.Sirolimus treatment significantly prevents impairment in renal function and also prevents downregulation of y-ENaC,Na + K+ ATPase and AQP2during BUO,demonstrating a marked renoprotective effect of sirolimus treatment in conditions with urinary tract obstruction.

Objective To investigate the role of intra-operative and percutaneous three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasonic cholangiography (3D-CEUSC) in the diagnosis of biliary anomalies. Methods Diluted SonoVue, an ultrasonic contrast agent, was injected into the cystic duct of 13 living liver donors via a cannula for intra-operative 3D-CEUSC, while injection via a T tube or a PTCD tube were done in 14 patients for percutaneous 3D-CEUSC. The maximum branching order of the intra-hepatic bile ducts, the percentages of display of the first-, second-, and third-order intra-hepatic bile ducts, and the rates of detection of biliary anatomical anomalies were evaluated. Results The median of the maximum branching order of the intra-hepatic bile ducts shown was fourth-order on intraoperative 3D-CEUSC and third-order on percutaneous 3D-CEUSC, respectively. The difference was significant (P=0.01). From the first- to the third-order of intra-hepatic bile ducts, the percentages of display for intra-operative 3D-CEUSC were 100% (23/23), 96.2% (50/52) and 82.7% (86/104),respectively, while they were 100% (24/24), 94.6% (54/56) and 60. 7% (68/112) for percutaneous 3D-CEUSC. The differences were not significant when comparing the first- and the second-order branches of intra-hepatic bile ducts as shown either on intra-operative or percutaneous 3D-CEUSC (P=1).The percentages of display of the third-order branches using intra-operative 3D-CEUSC was higher than that of percutaneous 3D-CEUSC (P＜0. 0001). Three biliary anatomical anomalies were detected by intra-operative 3D-CEUSC and 4 anomalies were detected by percutaneous 3D-CEUSC. All of these anomalies were confirmed by X-ray cholangiography. Conclusion Both intra-operative and percutaneous 3D-CEUSC could diagnose biliary anatomical anomalies accurately. These procedures may become important techniques to evaluate the biliary anatomy in hepatobiliary surgery pre-operatively or intraoperatively.
