Objective:To explore the feasibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in assessing the degree of transplant renal artery stenosis(TRAS)and evaluate its diagnostic efficacy of severe TRAS.Methods:From February 2013 to February 2022, clinical and follow-up data are retrospectively reviewed for 23 TRAS recipients.A definite diagnosis is made by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA, 2 cases)or digital subtraction angiography(DSA, 21 cases). They are assigned into two groups of mild-moderate stenosis(5 cases)and severe stenosis(18 cases)according to the diameter reduction rate of transplanted renal artery detected by DSA/MRA.Another 32 recipients of stable renal function are selected as controls.All contrast-enhanced ultrasonic images are quantitatively processed with SonoLiver.The following quantitative parameters are obtained, including rising time of interlobular artery(RTi), rising time of cortex(RTc), rising time of medulla(RTm), time to peak of interlobular artery(TTPi), time to peak of cortex(TTPc)and time to peak of medulla(TTPm). The differences of contrast-enhanced ultrasonic quantitative parameters are compared among three groups.And their diagnostic efficacies are calculated in the diagnosis of severe TRAS.Results:As compared with those in normal group, RTi, RTc, TTPi and TTPc are significantly longer in mild-moderate stenosis group(all P<0.05); Meanwhile, RTi, RTc, RTm, TTPi, TTPc and TTPm are significantly longer in severe stenosis group than those in normal group(all P<0.05); Comparing mild-moderate stenosis and severe stenosis groups, only RTm is significantly different between two groups( P<0.05). Among all the above parameters, RTc has the highest diagnostic efficacy in the diagnosis of severe TRAS(AUC=0.848)with a sensitivity of 72.22%, a specificity of 86.49% and an accuracy of 81.82%. Conclusions:The quantitative parameters of contrast-enhanced ultrasound offer aid in assessing the degree of TRAS.And RTc is the most valuable in the diagnosis of severe TRAS.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy and provide references for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 216 patients who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy in Ningjin County People′s Hospital from June 2016 to December 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The recurrence rate at 12 months after the operation was followed up, and the risk factors influencing the recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy were screened by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model.Results:After followed up for 12 months after the operation, 24 cases had recurrence, with a recurrence rate of 11.11%(24/216). Univariate analysis showed that the recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy was significantly correlated with surgical age, age at menarche, number of fibroids, uterine size, and gonadrotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) treatment after the operation ( P<0.05), but was not significantly correlated with body mass index, fibroid size, fibroid type, and pregnancy after the operation ( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that surgical age ≥ 35 years old ( OR=1.289, 95% CI 1.013-1.641), age at menarche <13 years old ( OR=1.765, 95% CI 1.167 - 2.669), and number of fibroids ≥ 2 ( OR=2.487, 95% CI 1.442 - 4.288) were independent risk factors for recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy ( P<0.05), while GnRH-a treatment after the operation ( OR = 0.696, 95% CI 0.510-0.951) was its protective factor ( P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of surgical age ≥ 35 years old, menarche age <13 years old, and number of fibroids ≥ 2 for predicting recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy was 0.641 (95% CI 0.573 - 0.705), 0.719 (95% CI 0.654 - 0.778) and 0.622 (95% CI 0.554 - 0.687), and age at menarche had the greatest diagnostic efficiency. Conclusions:Surgical age ≥ 35 years old, age at menarche <13 years old, and number of fibroids ≥ 2 are independent risk factors for recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy. Intraoperative ultrasound and postoperative GnRH-a treatment can help reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence.

Objective:To evaluate the value of shear wave dispersion imaging in identifying inflammatory reaction zone after liver ablation in rabbits.Methods:The animal model was made by laser ablation of rabbit liver, and then shear wave dispersion imaging and strain elastography imaging were performed on the ablation area at 3 d, 7 d, and 14 d after ablation. The shear wave dispersion values, elastic value and strain ratio measured by shear wave elastography, shear wave dispersion and strain elastography in different regions such as central necrotic tissue, surrounding inflammatory reaction zone and normal liver tissue after ablation were analyzed.Results:The shear wave dispersion values of inflammatory reaction zone around ablation site, necrotic tissue in the center of ablation site and normal liver tissue in rabbits were (26.07±4.55)m·s -1·kHz -1, (21.97±10.53)m·s -1·kHz -1and (15.45±3.94)m·s -1·kHz -1, respectively, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Compared with the three time points of 3 d, 7 d and 14 d after ablation, the shear wave dispersion value of the inflammatory zone was the highest on the 7th day after ablation ( P<0.05), while the elastic value and strain ratio in this region did not change significantly among these three time points ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Shear wave dispersion imaging can simultaneously measure tissue elasticity and viscosity, which has certain application value in identifying the inflammatory reaction zone around the ablation site in rabbit liver.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of early pancreatic duct stenting in the treatment of acute pancreatitis.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 201 patients with acute pancreatitis who were admitted to General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from October 2011 to December 2017 were collected. There were 106 males and 95 females, aged from 18 to 90 years, with a median age of 62 years. Of 201 patients, there were 178 cases with moderate severe acute pancreatitis and 23 cases with serious severe acute pancreatitis. Patients were treated with pancreatic duct stenting within 48 hours after admission. Observation indicators: (1) treatment; (2) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect recurrence of acute pancreatitis after surgery up to June 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented by Mean± SD, and the independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups, and the matched samples t test was used for comparison between before and after. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented by M( P25 ,P75) or M(range), and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups, and the Wilcoxon signed rank sum test was used for comparison between before and after. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test . Results:(1) Treatment: 201 patients received pancreatic duct stenting successfully, 63 of which were detected pancreatic obstruction with white-floc. The interval time from admission to surgery , operation time, time for initial oral intake, duration of hospital stay and hospital expenses of 201 patients were 10 hours(4 hours,22 hours), (35±15)minutes, 3 days(2 days,5 days), 6 days(5 days,10 days) and 3.8×10 4 yuan (3.0×10 4 yuan,4.9×10 4 yuan). Of 201 patients, 22 patients were transferred to intensive care unit, including 1 case with serious severe underwent inhospital death and 1 case with moderate severe and 7 cases with serious severe underwent auto-discharge from hospital. There were 25 cases with local complications, including 17 cases with pancreatic infectious necrosis, 7 cases with pancreatic walled-off necrosis and 1 case with spleen infarction. All 25 patients were cured after surgical inter-vention or conservative treatment. Further analysis showed that cases being transferred to intensive care unit, cases undergoing surgical treatment, the time for initial oral intake, duration of hospital stay and cases undergoing auto-discharge from hospital were 6, 11, 3 days(2 days,5 days), 6 days(5 days,10 days) and 1 for the 178 moderate severe cases, versus 16, 5, 7 days(4 days,9 days), 9 days (7 days,17 days) and 7 for the 23 serious severe cases, showing significant differences ( χ2=91.561, 6.730, Z=6.485, 5.463, χ2=47.561, P<0.05). The white blood cell count, serum amylase indexes and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ score of 201 patients were (14±6)×10 9/L, 928 U/L(411 U/L,1 588 U/L), 9±5 before admission, versus (10±4)×10 9/L, 132 U/L(72 U/L,275 U/L), 6±4 at 48 hours after admission, respectively, showing significant differences ( t=12.219, Z=11.639, t=16.016, P<0.05). (2) Follow-up: of 201 patients, 153 cases were followed up for 40 months (27 months,55 months). During the follow-up, 32 of the 153 cases had recurrence of acute pancreatitis. Conclusion:Early pancreatic duct stenting is safe and feasible in the treatment of acute pancreatitis.

Objective:To estimate the predictive value of heart rate (HR)-blood pressure (BP) products of multiplication for compensated shock in children.Methods:The study population consisted of 99 children with shock who had lactate measured before receiving vasopressor agents in Department of Critical Care Medicine of Children′s Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from October 2015 to March 2021. The clinical data including the HR, BP, HR to BP ratio, HR-BP product and lactate at admission and after the correction of shock, as well as the 28-day mortality were collected. According to the outcome at the 28 th day, the patients were divided into survival group and non-survival group. Comparisons between groups were performed with unpaired Student t test, or Mann-Whitney U test, or chi-square test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations between lactate and HR, BP, HR to BP ratio and HR-BP product, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was analyzed to evaluate the predictive values of HR, BP, HR to BP ratio and HR-BP product for lactate greater than 2 mmol/L. Results:In these 99 children, 49 were males, and the median age was 3.8 (0.7-6.0) years. The most common type of shock was septic shock (61 cases, 62%), followed by cardiogenic shock (12 cases, 12%), hemorrhagic shock (12 cases, 12%), Kawasaki disease shock syndrome (8 cases, 8%) and anaphylactic shock (6 cases, 6%). Sixty-six patients (67%) survived, and 33 patients (33%) died. ROC curve showed that the area under curves (AUC) of lactate (optimal cutoff value 3.15 mmol/L, sensitivity 96.0%, specificity 54.4%, P<0.01) and HR to systolic blood pressure ratio (HR/SBP) (optimal cutoff value 2.0 times/(min·mmHg), sensitivity 62.5%, specificity 69.0%, P = 0.03) for predicting adverse outcome were 0.769 and 0.649, respectively. There were significant correlations between lactate and HR to diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ratio, HR to mean blood pressure (MBP) ratio, SBP, HR/SBP, MBP, DBP and HR ( r= 0.476, 0.452, -0.444, 0.425,-0.410, -0.364, 0.177, all P<0.01), while no significant correlation was found between lactate and the products of HR and BP(all P>0.05). HR/SBP performed better than the other six parameters for predicting lactate>2 mmol/L, with the AUC of 0.872 and the optimal cutoff value of 1.4 bpm/mmHg (sensitivity 92.1%, specificity 70.9%, P<0.01). When MBP was greater than or equal to 65 mmHg, MBP × HR, DBP × HR, SBP × HR, HR, HR/SBP, HR/MBP and HR/DBP were significantly correlated with lactate ( r= 0.706, 0.705, 0.669, 0.626, 0.555, 0.502, 0.446, all P<0.01). And MBP × HR performed better for predicting lactate>2 mmol/L than the other six parameters, with the AUC of 0.974 and the optimal cutoff value of 9446 bpm × mmHg (sensitivity 100.0%, specificity 90.9%, P<0.01). Conclusions:The product of HR and BP, especially the MBP × HR, shows higher predictive values for abnormally elevated lactate in children with compensated shock than the HR/SBP does. It is worth recommending for early identification of compensated shock in children.

To investigate the effects of clinical P-glycoprotein inhibitors on oral bioavailability and brain penetration of gefitinib, 16 inhibitors and gefitinib were co-administered orally to ICR mice. The suspension of gefitinib and CMC-Na were co-administered to the control group. The suspension of gefitinib and clinical P-glycoprotein inhibitors were co-administered to the control group. Blood samples and brain homogenate samples were extracted by protein precipitation with acetonitrile and determinated by LC-MS/MS. It was found that ritonavir can significantly increase the oral bioavailability of gefitinib, and the area under the plasma concentration-time curves(AUC)of gefitinib was increased by 2 times; while brain exposure was increased, there was no increment in brain penetration. Some other drugs can also increase the plasma AUC of gefitinib, but can not enhance the brain penetration; After we corrected brain concentration with fraction of unbound drug in brain, it was found that the brain concentration of gefitinib in both control group and ritonavir group did not achieve the in vitro IC50 of inhibiting non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)cell growth. Our results suggest that clinical doses of the 16 clinical P-glycoprotein inhibitors can not specifically increase brain tissue exposure, more specific and safer P-gp inhibitors are required. After we corrected brain concentrations with fraction of unbound drug in brain, our preclinical studies found that insufficient brain exposure may be one of the reasons for the unsatisfactory efficacy of gefitinib in the treatment of brain metastases.
