Objective To explore the value of high-frequency ultrasound in the detection of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma and displaying lesion characteristics. Methods A total of 38 paitients with hepatocellular carcinoma satellite lesions within 40 mm of subcutaneous tissue were underwent low-frequency (1-5 MHz) and high-frequency (6-9 MHz) ultrasound. Detection rates and ultrasonic features were compared. Results High-frequency grayscale ultrasound had a higher detection rate (71.1% vs. 36.8%, P＜0.001). Subgroup analysis showed higher detection rates with chemotherapy history (88.9% vs. 33.3%, P＝0.002), fatty liver (71.9% vs 31.3%, P＜0.001) or superficial lesion (within 20 mm, 76.5% vs 41.2%, P＝0.031). High-frequency ultrasound also showed clearer margins (P＝0.004) and more arterial-phase rim enhancement (P＝0.007). Conclusions 6-9 MHz ultrasound detects metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, especially superficial lesions, more effectively than 1-5 MHz ultrasound and better visualizes characteristics.

Objective:To analyze the conventional ultrasound（CUS）and contrast-enhanced ultrasound（CEUS）features of hepatic lymphoma，and to investigate the value of CEUS in the diagnosis of hepatic lymphoma.Methods:The images of 39 patients（39 lesions）with hepatic lymphoma pathologically confirmed by surgery and puncture from March 2012 to July 2024 at Zhongshan Hospital，Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. Evaluations of CUS included the echogenicity，morphology，color Doppler flow imaging（CDFI）situation，evaluations of CEUS included enhancement type，enhancement degree compared to the peripheral normal liver parenchyma and time to enhancement.Results:In the 39 lesions，hypoechoic lesions were detected in 31（79.49%，31/39）patients on CUS. CDFI detected linear or branched color flow signals inside the lesions in 21（53.85%，21/39）lesions，and peripheral color flow signals around the lesions in 3 lesions，while arterial flow signals were detected in 16 of them，with a resistance index of 0.50～0.77（0.67 ± 0.02）. In addition，signs of non-compacted normal blood vessels passing through the lesions were detected in 5 lesions. After injection of contrast medium，39 lesions showed different degrees of enhancement，mainly showed entirety homogeneous enhancement，during the arterial phase of CEUS，34（87.18%，34/39）lesions showed fast enhancement，and when the enhancement reached the peak，26（66.67%，26/39）lesions revealed hyper-enhancement，showing “fast progression”. There were 38（97.44%，38/39）lesions in the portal and delayed phases showed “fast forward”.Conclusions:CUS and CEUS can provide some value in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hepatic lymphoma.

Objective:To explore the differences between clinical-pathological-ultrasound features in hepatocellular carcinoma（HCC）with negative and positive des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin（DCP）.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 649 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC at Zhongshan Hospital，Fudan University from April 2020 to May 2024. Patients were stratified into DCP-negative（177 cases，<40 mAU/ml）and DCP-positive（472 cases，≥40 mAU/ml）groups. Clinical data，pathological features，and ultrasound findings were collected. Conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound（CEUS）imaging characteristics were analyzed and compared between the two groups，and the correlation between ultrasound features and pathological characteristics were analyzed.Results:The DCP-negative group exhibited a lower incidence of microvascular invasion（10.17% vs. 34.75%， P<0.001）and smaller median tumor diameter（23 mm vs. 40 mm， P<0.001）. Heterogeneous internal echogenicity was less frequent in DCP-negative tumors［48.59%（86/177） vs. 74.58%（352/472）， P<0.001］. CEUS revealed higher rates of arterial-phase iso-enhancement（6.78% vs. 1.69%）and absence of washout（13.56% vs. 4.45%）in DCP-negative HCC（both P<0.001）. CEUS LI-RADS classification showed fewer LR-5 lesions［50.85%（90/177） vs. 59.53%（281/472）］in DCP-negative group（ P<0.001）. Conclusions:HCC with different DCP states has different clinical-pathological-ultrasound features. DCP-negative HCCs are more likely to show atypical enhancement patterns characteristic of HCC.

Objective:To establish a nomogram prediction model for recurrence within 2 years after radical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on clinical and ultrasonographic characteristics.Methods:Clinical data from 405 HCC patients (including 327 males and 78 females), aged 60 (53, 66) years old, who underwent radical hepatectomy in the Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, from January to December 2021, were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into two groups: the training group ( n=283) and the validation group ( n=122). Based on recurrence within 2 years after surgery, the 283 patients in the training group were further categorized into the recurrence group ( n=73) and the non-recurrence group ( n=210). Among the 122 patients in the validation group, 33 had recurrence within 2 years, while 89 did not. Data on age, microvascular invasion, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), AFP lentil lectin-reactive fraction (AFP-L3), protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II), tumor number, and enhancement homogeneity were collected. Logistic regression analysis was performed on the training group to identify risk factors associated with postoperative recurrence, and a nomogram model for predicting HCC recurrence was constructed based on these factors. Calibration curves were used to compare the consistency between predicted and actual outcomes in both the training and validation groups. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that younger age ( OR=0.976, 95% CI: 0.953-1.000, P=0.004), higher AFP-L3 ( OR=1.066, 95% CI: 1.014-1.120, P=0.012), higher PIVKA-II ( OR=1.000, 95% CI: 1.000-1.001, P=0.042), multiple tumors ( OR=0.399, 95% CI: 0.225-0.706, P=0.038), and heterogeneous enhancement ( OR=0.472, 95% CI: 0.243-0.916, P=0.045) were significant risk factors for recurrence after partial hepatectomy in HCC patients. The nomogram constructed based on these variables had a C-index of 0.87 (95% CI: 0.81-0.93) in the training group and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.77-0.89) in the validation group. The calibration curves for predicting recurrence within 2 years after partial hepatectomy in HCC patients showed a high degree of fit in both the training and validation groups, indicating a good agreement between predicted and actual outcomes. Conclusion:The nomogram model constructed based on preoperative clinical and ultrasonographic characteristics can effectively predict the risk of recurrence within 2 years after radical resection of HCC.

The battlefield rescuing unit of the current model is always restricted by some factors such as regional environments in wartime rescuing action and peacetime disaster relief, which can lead to failure of following and deploying action, so that wounded persons can not be rescued at the first time. Aiming at the special circumstances, a forward first-aid unit composed of five doctors and nurses should be established to give emergency medical rescue with rescuing emergent equipments and medicine packed in portable packages such as portable respiring machine, defibrillator and oxygen device at the battlefront. In this way, success rate of rescuing wounded persons would be increased obviously, while mortality rate and deformity rate would be decreased greatly.
