Objective To provide the practical experience of association of liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy(ALPPS) procedure in portal vein tumor thrombosis(PVT) cases,and to explore its value in PVTT therapy.Methods Three cases of ALPPS were applied to PVTT in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of PLA General Hospital from 2015 to 2016.The patients data were retrieved and analyzed retrospectively,including the basic information,preoperative PVTT classification,preoperative Child-Pugh classification,ICG test results,future liver remnant (FLR),FLR growth rate between 2 phase operation,operation time,bleeding volume,postoperative complications,postoperative survival etc.We discussed the detail technology and discuss the surgical procedure combine our experience and the published papers.Results ALPPS was performed successfully in all 3 patients.According to the Cheng's Classification of PVTT,they were classified as type Ⅱ,1 case and Ⅲ type,2 cases.Preoperative liver function was Child-Pugh A grade,average ICG R15 was 7.3％ (4.2％-11.0％),and average FLR was 387 ml (333-484 ml).The mean time interval between 2 phases surgery was 24.7 days (9-50 days) and the average FLR growth rate was 50.3％ (24.4％-82.3％).Morbidity of Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ or more was recorded in 1 case,but no mortality occurred.During follow-up period,2 patients were treated with TACE for tumor recurrence.All patients survived with acceptable life quality till now.The portal vein tumor thrombosis necrosis was observed in all 3 specimens.Conclusions ALPPS is a valuable surgery for effective control of tumor thrombus and radical resection rate in well selected PVVT type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ patients.It is expected to improve the therapeutic effect in combination with TACE and other treatment methods.

Objective To study the relationship of carotid atherosclerosis score (CAS) with carotid atherosclerotic disease and its clinical indexes in ischemic stroke patients.Methods Ninety-six patients with ischemic stroke (＜2 weeks) or transient ischemic attack underwent high-resolution MRI of bilateral carotid arteries to measure their carotid atherosclerotic luminal stenosis,maximal wall thickness (MaxWT) and plaque involvement size.The carotid plaque images with unstable components of lipid-rich core (LRC) were analyzed with CASCAD software.The CAS value was calculated and divided into low risk group and high risk group.The relationship between CAS and its clinical indexes was analyzed.Results LRC was detected in plaques of 148 carotid arteries of the 96 patients with a CAS value of 21.6％±17.5％.The CAS value was related with the carotid luminal stenosis,MaxWT and plaque involvement size (r =0.610,r=0.569,r =0.527,P＜ 0.001).A significant difference was found in carotid luminal stenosis,MaxWT and plaque involvement size with a different CAS value (P＜0.01).The CAS value was related with LDL and HDL/TC ratio (r=0.469,P＜0.01;r=-0.269,P=0.035).The SBP,DBP and LDL level were higher in high risk group than in low risk group (P＜0.05).Conclusion CAS is closely related with carotid atherosclerotic disease and lipid metabolism.The higher the CAS value is,the higher the risk of carotid plaque hemorrhage and fibrous cap rupture is.

Background:Q fever endocarditis,a chronic illness caused by Coxiella burnetii,can be fatal if misdiagnosed or left untreated.Despite a relatively high positive rate of Q fever serology in healthy individuals in the mainland of China,very few cases of Q fever endocarditis have been reported.This study summarized cases of Q fever endocarditis among blood culture negative endocarditis (BCNE) patients and discussed factors attributing to the low diagnostic rate.Methods:We identified confirmed cases of Q fever endocarditis among 637 consecutive patients with infective endocarditis (IE) in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital between 2006 and 2016.The clinical findings for each confirmed case were recorded.BCNE patients were also examined and each BCNE patient's Q fever risk factors were identified.The risk factors and presence of Q fever serologic testing between BCNE patients suspected and unsuspected of Q fever were compared using the Chi-squared or Chi-squared with Yates' correction for continuity.Results:Among the IE patients examined,there were 147 BCNE patients,of whom only 11 patients (7.5％) were suspected of Q fever and undergone serological testing for C.burnetii.Six out of 11 suspected cases were diagnosed as Q fever endocarditis.For the remaining136 BCNE patients,none of them was suspected of Q fever nor underwent relevant testing.Risk factors for Q fever endocarditis were comparable between suspected and unsuspected patients,with the most common risk factors being valvulopathy in both groups.However,significantly more patients had consulted the Infectious Diseases Division and undergone comprehensive diagnostic tests in the suspected group than the unsuspected group (100％ vs.63％,P =0.03).Conclusions:Q fever endocarditis is a serious yet treatable condition.Lacking awareness of the disease may prevent BCNE patients from being identified,despite having Q fever risk factors.Increasing awareness and guideline adherence are crucial in avoiding misdiagnosing and missed diagnosing of the disease.

Objective:To develop a novel regulable sutureless aortic arch prosthesis and to apply it in an animal experimental study.Methods:The arch skeleton of the prosthesis was made of tandem Z-shape NiTiNOL wire;the branch skeleton was made of laser-cut NiTiNOL tube;and the whole skeleton was coated with thin ePTFE film.The blood vessel was anastomosed by di- rect ligature,needing no manual suturing.The prosthesis was applied in swine aortic arch operations under the bypass condi- tion.The practicality for surgery and the feasibility of anastomosis of the prosthesis were assessed.Results:Aortic arch opera- tions were successfully performed in 6 of the 8 experimental animals.The prostheses were easy to use,and the mean bypass time was only 10 min.The blood loss of the anastomoses was less than 100 ml within 8 h postoperatively in 5 animals;one had more blood loss due to prosthesis mismatch.Conclusion:The novel regulable sutureless aortic arch prosthesis has satisfactory practicality for surgery and reliable anastomosis,making it promising in future clinical application.

The invertebrate parvovirus Bombyx mori Densonucleosis Virus type 3(Zhenjiang isolate), named BmDNV-3, is a kind of bidensovirus. The most obvious characteristic in the genome of BmDNV-3 is that it has 2 sets of DNA molecular (VD1, VD2),and each of them is encapsidated respectively in the form of single-stranded liner DNA ( + VD1, - VD1, + VD2, - VD2) in equal percentage. So the BmDNV-3 has 4 kinds of virions. Furthermore the sequence of BmDNV-3 is able to encode DNA polymerase itself. Some strains of silkworm revealed complete resistance to BmDNV-3, so they didn' t fall sick. To investigate the difference in the process of infection and replication between the 2 virions ( VD1, VD2) of this bidensovirus, and the difference of the increment in the resistant or susceptible host, the 5th instar larvae of the susceptible silkworm strain (HUABA 35) and the resistant silkworm strain(QIUFENG d) were inoculated determinate dose of BmDNV-3 by oral ingestion. Then the midgut were collected at 9 timepoints. The silkworm cytoplasm actin A3 was used to be normalized gene, so the number of cells in collected tissue could be determined. The result shows that whatever in the susceptible silkworm strain or in the resistant one, the copies of VD1 and VD2 in the genome of BmDNV-3 collected at the different timepoint were almost at the equal level respectively, so that the VD1 and VD2 were replicated with synchronization. The process of infection in the susceptible silkworm strain was devided into 3 partitions, latent period( 2 - 12 hours post inoculation), exponential phase (12 - 36 hours post inoculation)and stationary phase (36- 96 hours post inoculation and there are about 2 x 10(5) copies per cell) . In the resistant silkworm strain, the virus were replicated at a very low level, that was from 6 - 10 copies 2 hours post inoculation to 150 - 200 copies 96 hours post inoculation (about 20 times) . So we predict that the resistance in some of the silkworm strains from BmDNV-3 was a kind of chronic representation that the host carried virus without being caused flacherie.
