At present,the most commonly used methods for liver function evaluation in clinical practice is static detection represented by blood biochemical examinations,with a focus on the degree of liver injury and liver dysfunction;however,such methods have significant timitations on the reflection of liver reserve function.Indocyanine green (ICG) clearance test is commonly used for the testing of liver reserve function in clinical practice and it is a minimally invasive,simple,and quick procedure available for bedside real-time monitoring and can be repeated during a short period of time.The application value of ICG clearance test in the field of liver surgery has been widely recognized.In recent years,more and more studies have been focusing on the application of ICG clearance test in the fields of internal medicine,liver interventional therapy,critically ill patients,and drug safety assessment.This article reviews the current clinical application,related advances,and future perspectives of ICG clearance test.

Objective To evaluate left ventricular torsion and untwisting in patients with coronary artery disease by speckle tracking imaging. Methods Study population consisted of 48 patients, who were diagnosed coronary artery disease initially and received one of coronary arteriography, coronary artery spiral computerized tomography, radionuclide imaging, interventional therapy and bypass surgery. High frame rate (≥60 frame/s) two-dimensional dynamic images of the left ventricular apical long-axis views and parasternal short-axis views at basal and apical levels were recorded. Rotation was measured in the left ventricular short-axis views using 2D strain software. Left ventricular torsion was defined as relative rotation degree between the apical level and basal level. Patients were divided into three groups according to clinic final diagnosis [myocardial infarction ( MIN) group, n = 19; myocardial ischemia ( MIS) group, n =19; normal coronary artery (Contrast) group, n - 10]. Results In MIS group,peak rotation value and rotation value at aortic valve closure in basal level were smaller than those in apical level. Untwisting rate reduced in MIN group. There was linear correlation between left ventricular peak torsion and end-diastolic diameter. There was aslo linear correlation between left ventricular peak torsion and eject fraction. Left ventricular peak rotation at basal level was correlative to eject fraction. Left ventricular untwisting rate had linear correlation to eject fraction, and also had correlation to peak torsion. Conclusions In patients with myocardial ischemia, left ventricular rotation value at apical level is larger than that at basal level. Left ventricular diastolic function is injured severely in patients with myocardial infarction. Untwisting rate is a quantitative index to evaluate myocardial diastolic function.

Objective To evaluate left atrial function by velocity vector imaging (VVI) in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis(RMS). Methods Thirty eight patients with RMS and 42 normal controls were studied with VVI analysis software. Peak systolic strain (S), systolic strain rate(SRs), early diastolic strain rate(SRe) and late diastolic strain rate(SRa) of each left atrial segments were measured,and also the SRa peak time delay(Td-SRa). Results Comparing to the controls group, the S, SRs and SRe of all segments were significantly lower(P<0.05). Except the base latero-aorta's SRa, the other segments' SRa were lower (P<0.05). In patients with atrial fibrillation(AF),56% segments had no SRa,and 18.6% had irregular low amplitude movement at late diastole, while 25.4% had discernible positive peak. The base and middle inferior SRa of patients with AF were lower (P<0.05 ) than those of the patients with sinus rhythm. While the Td-SRa of patients was longer than that of control group,especially what of the patients with AF. Conclusions The segmental and globe left atrial function of patients with RMS can be evaluated with VVI.

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical characteristics of hospital infection in diabetic nephropathy(DN). METHODS To retrospectively analyze the incidence rate of hospital infection,the infection sites,pathogenic bacteria,and predisposing factors in 348 cases with diabetic nephropathy,and to compare the index above with the homeochronous 466 diabetic patients without DN. RESULTS Sixty two cases occurred hospital infection from 348 cases with DN,the infection rate was 17.82%,the infection sites were most frequently in respiratory tract(37.10%),then urinary tract(24.19%) and digestive tract(19.35%),the major predisposing factors were out of control of blood glucose,renal sufficiency,advanced age,and longer stay in hospital. CONCLUSIONS The incidence rate of hospital infection is higher,the valid measures to control the hospital infection are to control the blood glucose effectively,to improve the renal function and timely to use the method of anti-infection with forcefulness.

Emergence and broad spread of chloroquine resistance urge human beings to change drug policy in malaria control and to find more effective new drugs. Nevertheless, chloroquine is still used in the treatment of falciparum malaria in some poor endemic regions due to economic and development reasons. It should be of great significance to un-derstand the mechanism of chloroquine resistance and find the way to reverse it in order to bring chloroquine with high efficacy and low cost back to the first line of the combat to malaria. Advent and development of resistance reversal agents provide a new clue for this purpose. When used together with chloroquine, it can partly restore the efficacy of chloroquine in resistant Plasmodium falciparum. The article summarizes the research progress on chloroquine resistance in P. falciparum and resistance reversers.
