ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of the multidisciplinary team (MDT) management model in improving the prognosis of patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension. MethodsA total of 86 patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension who were admitted to Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital from May 2022 to July 2024 were enrolled, and according to whether the MDT treatment regimen was implemented, they were divided into execution group with 51 patients and non-execution group with 35 patients. Baseline clinical data were collected, and the patients were observed in terms of gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, liver cancer, and death from admission to the end of follow-up (January 2025). The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves for the cumulative incidence rates of endpoint events (gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, liver cancer, and death), and the Log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. The Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the effect of MDT management on the prognosis of patients. ResultsThere were significant differences between the execution group and the non-execution group in diameter of the portal vein (t=1.216, P=0.017) and ascites (χ2=4.515, P=0.034) at baseline. The patients were followed up for 14.6±6.2 months, and the survival curve analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the cumulative incidence rate of gastrointestinal bleeding between the two groups (χ2=4.573, P=0.024), while there were no significant differences in the incidence rates of other outcome events between the two groups (all P>0.05). The Cox regression analysis showed that the execution group had a reduced risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (hazard ratio=0.262, 95% confidence interval: 0.110 — 0.630, P=0.003). ConclusionImplementation of the MDT treatment regimen can significantly reduce the short-term risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension, while its long-term benefits require further follow-up verification.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of the nitroglycerin-controlled low central venous pressure (CLCVP) technique on brain metabolic markers and cerebral blood oxygen saturation in patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy for liver cancer, and to reduce the risk of neurological complications. MethodsA total of 105 patients who underwent elective laparoscopic hepatectomy for liver cancer in Haikou Hospital Affiliated to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from April 2020 to May 2023 were enrolled and randomly divided into CLCVP group with 54 patients and non-CLCVP group with 51 patients. The patients in the CLCVP group were treated with the nitroglycerin CLCVP technique during surgery, while those in the non-CLCVP group were given conventional surgical treatment. The two groups were compared in terms of the following indicators: perioperative indicators; hemodynamic parameters and cerebral oxygen metabolism before anesthesia induction (T0), at 5 minutes after anesthesia induction (T1), at 5 minutes after the beginning of liver parenchyma dissection (T2), at 5 minutes after the end of hepatectomy (T3), and immediately after the end of surgery (T4); the changes in liver function parameters after surgery; the incidence rate of adverse reactions. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; the analysis of variance with repeated measures was used for comparison between multiple time points. ResultsCompared with the non-CLCVP group, the CLCVP group had significantly lower intraoperative blood loss and intraoperative fluid infusion volume (t=5.408 and 7.220, both P<0.05), while there were no significant differences between the two groups in time of operation, anesthesia time, extubation time, resuscitation time and intraoperative urine volume (all P>0.05). Compared with the data at T0, both groups had significant reductions in mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and central venous pressure during surgery (all P<0.05), and compared with the non-CLCVP group, the CLCVP group had significantly lower mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure (P<0.05) and a significantly higher heart rate (P<0.05) at T2 and T3. Compared with the data at T0, both groups had a significant reduction in Ca-jvDO2 at T2 — T4 time points (all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in Ca-jvDO2 between the two groups at each time point (all P>0.05). Compared with the data at T0, the CLCVP group had a significant reduction in rSO2 at T2 — T4 time points (all P<0.05), and the CLCVP group had a significantly lower level of rSO2 than the non-CLCVP group at T2 — T3 time points (both P<0.05); there were no significant changes in CERO2 and Djv-aBL in either group at each time point (all P>0.05). At 3 and 7 days after surgery, both groups had significant increases in the liver function parameters of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and total bilirubin (TBil) (all P<0.05), and the CLCVP group had significantly lower levels of AST and ALT than the non-CLCVP group (all P<0.05); there was no significant difference in TBil between the two groups at each time point (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of perioperative complications between the two groups (χ2=0.729, P=0.394). ConclusionThe application of the nitroglycerin CLCVP technique in laparoscopic hepatectomy for liver cancer can reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss in patients, but it is necessary to further enhance the monitoring of cerebral blood oxygen saturation during surgery, so as to reduce the risk of neurological complications as much as possible.

Sixty male C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) to establish sepsis models. Ten mice were selected at 0 (immediately), 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after CLP surgery, respectively, according to the random number table method. Mouse splenic DCs were isolated using CD11c-positive magnetic beads. The protein expressions of TXNRD1, and anti-ferroptosis proteins solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in the cells were detected by Western blotting, the reduced glutathione (GSH) content in the cells was measured by colorimetric assay, the lipid peroxidation level was assessed via live-cell imaging technology, and the levels of major histocompatibility complex class Ⅱ subtype I-A/I-E and leukocyte differentiation antigens CD80 and CD86 were detected by flow cytometry. Another 100 male C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks were divided into corn oil+sham injury group, corn oil+CLP group, inhibitor+sham injury group, and inhibitor+CLP group according to the random number table method, with 25 mice in each group. Mice in the two inhibitor groups were intraperitoneally injected with TXNRD1 inhibitor auranofin, while mice in the two corn oil groups were intraperitoneally injected with corn oil. One hour later, mice in the two CLP groups underwent CLP surgery to establish sepsis models, while mice in the two sham injury groups underwent sham surgery. Twenty mice from each group were selected to observe survival within 7 d post-surgery, and the survival rate was calculated. At 24 h post-surgery, mouse splenic DCs from the remaining 5 mice in each group were collected for corresponding assays as above.Results:Compared with those at 0 h after CLP surgery, the protein expressions of TXNRD1, GPX4, and SLC7A11 in mouse cells at 24 h after CLP surgery and the protein expression of TXNRD1 in mouse cells at 48 h after CLP surgery were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the GSH content in mouse cells was significantly decreased at 24 and 48 h after CLP surgery ( P<0.05). The lipid peroxidation level in mouse cells was low at 0, 6, and 12 h after CLP surgery, slightly lower than that at 72 h after CLP surgery; the lipid peroxidation levels in mouse cells at 24 and 48 h after CLP surgery were significantly higher than those at 0, 6, 12, and 72 h after CLP surgery. Compared with those at 0 h after CLP surgery, the levels of I-A/I-E and CD80 in mouse cells at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after CLP surgery and the levels of CD86 in mouse cells at 12, 24, and 48 h after CLP surgery were significantly increased ( P<0.05). At 24 h post-surgery, the protein expressions of TXNRD1, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in mouse cells in corn oil+CLP group were significantly lower than those in corn oil+sham injury group ( P<0.05), while the protein expressions of TXNRD1, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in mouse cells in inhibitor+CLP group were significantly lower than those in corn oil+CLP group and inhibitor+sham injury group ( P<0.05). At 24 h post-surgery, the content of GSH in mouse cells in corn oil+CLP group was (239±32) μg/mg, which was significantly lower than (366±59) μg/mg in corn oil +sham injury group ( P<0.05); the content of GSH in mouse cells in inhibitor+CLP group was (134±19) μg/mg, which was significantly lower than (355±31) μg/mg in inhibitor+sham injury group and that in corn oil+CLP group (with both P values <0.05). At 24 h post-surgery, the lipid peroxidation level of mouse cells in inhibitor+CLP group was significantly higher than that in the other three groups ( P<0.05). At 24 h post-surgery, the levels of I-A/I-E, CD80, and CD86 in mouse cells in corn oil+CLP group were significantly higher than those in corn oil+sham injury group ( P<0.05), while the levels of I-A/I-E and CD80 in mouse cells in inhibitor+CLP group were significantly higher than those in inhibitor+sham injury group ( P<0.05) but significantly lower than those in corn oil+CLP group ( P<0.05); the level of CD86 in mouse cells in inhibitor+sham injury group was significantly higher than that in corn oil+sham injury group ( P<0.05). Within 7 d post-surgery, the survival rate of mice in inhibitor+CLP group was significantly lower than that in inhibitor+sham injury group and corn oil+CLP group (with χ2 values of 31.19 and 3.91, respectively, both P values <0.05). Conclusions:In septic mice, the expression of TXNRD1 in DCs is reduced, cell ferroptosis is enhanced, and immune function is weakened. The inhibition of TXNRD1 in DCs will exacerbate cell ferroptosis and immune function suppression, and is closely related to the poor prognosis of sepsis.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of biliary system diseases complicated by severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) and the risk factors.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 159 SAP patients admitted to the Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2019 to October 2024. There were 105 male cases, 54 female cases;aged (42.3±10.8)years (range:20 to 71 years). Grouping was performed according to the presence or absence of concurrent acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) and biliary stricture. There were 58 cases in the AAC group,including 40 males and 18 females;aged (43.8±10.6) years (range:28 to 71 years);101 cases in the non-AAC group,including 64 males and 37 females;aged (41.5±10.8) years (range:20 to 64 years);there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of admission total bilirubin,Balthazar-CTSI score,fasting time,and the proportions of concurrent shock and sepsis (all P<0.05);the time from onset of SAP to diagnosis of AAC( M (IQR)) was 10.5 (13.3) days (range: 3 to 34 days). There were 15 cases in the biliary stricture group,including 13 males and 2 females;age (46.5±10.0) years (range:33 to 63 years);141 cases in the non-biliary stricture group,including 89 males and 52 females;age (41.9±10.8) years (range: 20 to 71 years); there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the proportions of infected pancreatic necrosis,pancreatic head necrosis,and lower extremity venous thrombosis (all P<0.05);the time from the onset of SAP to the diagnosis of biliary stenosis in patients with biliary stenosis was 2.0 (3.0) months (range: 1 to 19 months). Univariate analysis was performed using independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test,or Fisher′s exact probability method,and variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic and predictive value of the multivariate logistic regression model for AAC and biliary stricture. Results:There were statistically significant differences in fasting time,Balthazar-CTSI score,admission total bilirubin,and the proportions of concurrent shock and sepsis between the AAC group and non-AAC group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that admission total bilirubin ( OR=1.033,95% CI: 1.010 to 1.058, P=0.004),Balthazar-CTSI score ( OR=1.276,95% CI: 1.036 to 1.572, P=0.022),fasting time ( OR=1.127,95% CI: 1.044 to 1.216, P=0.002), and sepsis ( OR=4.033, 95% CI: 1.419 to 11.462, P=0.009) were independent risk factors for AAC complicated by SAP. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve was 0.820 (95% CI: 0.752 to 0.888). There were statistically significant differences in the proportions of infected pancreatic necrosis,pancreatic head necrosis,and lower extremity venous thrombosis between the biliary stricture group and non-biliary stricture group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that infected pancreatic necrosis ( OR=7.376,95% CI:1.566 to 37.750, P=0.012) and pancreatic head necrosis ( OR=3.898,95% CI:1.180 to 12.877, P=0.026) were independent risk factors for biliary stricture complicated by SAP. The AUC of the ROC curve was 0.806 (95% CI:0.715 to 0.898). Conclusions:AAC typically occurs in the early stage of SAP,and biliary stricture usually occurs in the late stage of SAP. Admission total bilirubin,Balthazar-CTSI score,fasting duration,and concurrent sepsis are independent risk factors for AAC complicating SAP. Infected pancreatic necrosis and pancreatic head necrosis are independent risk factors for biliary stricture complicating SAP.

Univariate analysis was performed using independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test,or Fisher′s exact probability method,and variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic and predictive value of the multivariate logistic regression model for AAC and biliary stricture. Results:There were statistically significant differences in fasting time,Balthazar-CTSI score,admission total bilirubin,and the proportions of concurrent shock and sepsis between the AAC group and non-AAC group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that admission total bilirubin ( OR=1.033,95% CI: 1.010 to 1.058, P=0.004),Balthazar-CTSI score ( OR=1.276,95% CI: 1.036 to 1.572, P=0.022),fasting time ( OR=1.127,95% CI: 1.044 to 1.216, P=0.002), and sepsis ( OR=4.033, 95% CI: 1.419 to 11.462, P=0.009) were independent risk factors for AAC complicated by SAP. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve was 0.820 (95% CI: 0.752 to 0.888). There were statistically significant differences in the proportions of infected pancreatic necrosis,pancreatic head necrosis,and lower extremity venous thrombosis between the biliary stricture group and non-biliary stricture group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that infected pancreatic necrosis ( OR=7.376,95% CI:1.566 to 37.750, P=0.012) and pancreatic head necrosis ( OR=3.898,95% CI:1.180 to 12.877, P=0.026) were independent risk factors for biliary stricture complicated by SAP. The AUC of the ROC curve was 0.806 (95% CI:0.715 to 0.898). Conclusions:AAC typically occurs in the early stage of SAP,and biliary stricture usually occurs in the late stage of SAP. Admission total bilirubin,Balthazar-CTSI score,fasting duration,and concurrent sepsis are independent risk factors for AAC complicating SAP. Infected pancreatic necrosis and pancreatic head necrosis are independent risk factors for biliary stricture complicating SAP.
