Objective:To explore the split-face phenomenon in patients with bulbar-involved amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) through clinical and electrophysiological studies.Methods:A total of 52 clinically definite and clinically probable cases of bulbar-involved ALS, diagnosed according to the World Federation of Neurology El Escorial criteria, were retrospectively collected in the Third Central Hospital of Tianjin from September 2019 to November 2022. And 58 patients with idiopathic facial nerve paralysis with onset time≤7 days who visited the Department of Neurology of the Third Central Hospital of Tianjin during the same period were collected as control group. The firm eye closure (FC) score and cheek bulge (CB) score were used to assess the clinical involvement of facial muscles (dividing into facial muscle involvement group and non-facial muscle involvement group) and the presence of the split-face phenomenon (strong eye closure and weak cheek bulging) in ALS patients. The compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes of the bilateral orbicularis oculi and orbicularis oris muscles were measured using the Nicolet EDX Viking electromyography/evoked potential system. The CMAP amplitude ratio was calculated. The facial nerve electrophysiological differences were compared between ALS patients with bulbar involvement and patients with idiopathic facial nerve paralysis. The analysis of electrophysiological data across various groups was carried out utilizing the Kruskal-Wallis H test, while pairwise comparisons between groups were executed employing the Bonferroni correction method. Additionally, a stepwise binary Logistic regression analysis was implemented to ascertain the factors associated with facial muscle involvement in patients with bulbar-involved ALS. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the diagnostic accuracy of facial nerve electrophysiological testing in diagnosing ALS in the presence of symptoms of facial muscle involvement. Results:Among the 52 ALS patients with bulbar involvement, there were 20 cases (38.5%) with facial muscle involvements, all of which were bilateral; 16 patients (30.8%) exhibited weakness solely in the ability to puff their cheeks, 1 patient (1.9%) presented with weakness exclusively in closing the eyes, and 3 patients (5.8%) experienced weakness in both closing the eyes and puffing the cheeks. The Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) score of the facial muscle involvement group was lower compared to the non-facial muscle involvement group (36.90±9.20 vs 40.75±5.21, t=2.419, P=0.019), while the FC score and CB score were higher in the facial muscle involvement group [FC score: 0(0, 1) vs 0(0, 0), U=5.854, P<0.001; CB score: 4(3, 4) vs 0(0, 0), U=9.069, P<0.001], showing statistically significant differences. There was no statistically significant difference in the CMAP amplitude of the orbicularis oculi muscle between the facial muscle involvement group and the healthy side of the idiopathic facial nerve paralysis group, the affected side of the idiopathic facial nerve paralysis group, and the non-facial muscle involvement group (all P>0.05). The CMAP amplitude of the orbicularis oris muscle in the facial muscle involvement group [1 100.00 (775.00, 1 375.00) μV] was lower than that in the healthy side of the idiopathic facial nerve paralysis group [1 800.00 (1 400.00, 2 300.00) μV] and the non-facial muscle involvement group [1 555.00 (1 202.50, 1 980.00) μV], with statistically significant differences ( H=5.884, P<0.001; H=4.114, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the CMAP amplitude of the orbicularis oris muscle between the facial muscle involvement group and the affected side of the idiopathic facial nerve paralysis group ( P>0.05). The CMAP amplitude ratio of the orbicularis oculi/orbicularis oris muscles in the facial muscle involvement group [0.83(0.51, 1.14)] was higher than that in the healthy side of the idiopathic facial nerve paralysis group [0.55(0.39, 0.73)], the affected side of the idiopathic facial nerve paralysis group [0.57(0.40, 0.73)], and the non-facial muscle involvement group [0.60(0.42, 0.71)], with statistically significant differences ( H=-3.440, P=0.003; H=-3.433, P=0.004; H=-3.225, P=0.008). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the CMAP amplitude of orbicularis oris muscle ( OR=0.998,95% CI 0.997-0.999, P<0.001) and ALSFRS-R score ( OR=0.916,95% CI 0.857-0.979, P=0.010) were factors associated with facial muscle involvement in ALS patients with bulbar involvement. The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the orbicularis oculi muscle CMAP was 0.629, the AUC of the orbicularis oris muscle CMAP was 0.838, and the AUC of the CMAP amplitude ratio of the orbicularis oculi/orbicularis oris muscles was 0.690 in the facial muscle involvement group. Conclusions:Patients with bulbar-involved ALS have split-face phenomenon characterized by strong eye closure and weak cheek bulging. When bulbar-involved ALS patients have symptoms of facial muscle involvement, the CMAP amplitude of the orbicularis oris muscle decreases significantly, whereas the CMAP amplitude of the orbicularis oculi muscle remains relatively stable, further illustrating the split phenomenon.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of patients with sensory neuronopathies (SNN), and to evaluate the significance of electrophysiological markers in the diagnosis and assessment of disease progression.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical manifestations, electrophysiological characteristics, and spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of 8 cases diagnosed with SNN at the Third Central Hospital of Tianjin between 2015 and 2023. The neurophysiological examination mainly included limb nerve conduction study (NCS), same core needle electrode electromyography, somatosensory evoked potential (SEP), skin sympathetic reflex (SSR), and contact heat evoked potential (CHEP).Results:Among the 8 cases with SNN, 7 cases exhibited asymmetrical onset and a non-length-dependent pattern. All the 8 cases presented with severe deep sensory ataxia, accompanied by superficial sensory abnormalities and tendon areflexia. Paraneoplastic SNN were the most prevalent etiological subtype (4 cases), all of whom presented peripheral neuropathy as the initial symptom. Among these 4 cases, malignancies were identified in 3 cases and 3 cases presented with anti-Hu antibodies. Among the remaining 4 patients, 2 cases were autoimmune and the other 2 cases were idiopathic. NCS results of the 8 cases revealed decrease or absence of sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitudes, with normal sensory conduction velocities. Six cases showed abnormal SEP, including 2 cases of central damage and 4 cases of peripheral damage, 5 cases had abnormal SSR, and 2 cases exhibited abnormal CHEP. Motor nerve conduction studies were normal in all 8 cases. Six patients underwent spinal MRI, and 4 exhibited abnormal signals in dorsal columns.Conclusions:The hallmark clinical manifestation of SNN is sensory ataxia, characterized by substantial impairment of superficial sensation, typically manifesting in a non-length-dependent distribution. Beyond the widespread and significant reduction in SNAP amplitudes, SNN may also exhibit additional electrophysiological impairments, such as those observed in SEP, SSR and CHEP.SEP combined with spinal cord MRI can improve the detection rate for damages in the central sensory conduction pathway.

Severe open tibiofibular fractures account for approximately 28.1% of all open fractures. Among them, Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB/C fractures present significant clinical challenges due to associated bone and soft tissue defects, high infection rates, and risk of amputation. Inadequate preoperative assessment may lead to suboptimal emergency surgical planning or intraoperative complications. Historically, external fixation was often preferred, but this approach has been associated with limitations such as restricted joint mobility, delayed bone union, joint stiffness, and disuse osteoporosis, resulting in poor functional recovery. With advancements of debridement techniques, standardization of antibiotic use, and popularization of early soft tissue coverage, early internal fixation has gained broader acceptance. Nevertheless, controversies persist regarding the choice of fixation method, timing of definitive fixation, use of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing, and necessity of fibular fixation. To standardize the diagnosis and early management of severe open tibiofibular fractures, reduce complication rates, and improve functional recovery, the Society of Microsurgery of the Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of domestic experts to develop the Evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and early fixation of severe open tibiofibular fractures ( version 2025), using evidence-based methodology. The guidelines provided 12 recommendations covering diagnostic and early fixation strategies of severe open tibiofibular fractures, aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically grounded and standardized guidance.

Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasound radiomics combined with machine learning for early diagnosis of seronegative Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (SN-HT) .Methods:This retrospective study included 164 patients from Liaoning Provincial People’s Hospital , Lixin County People’s Hospital, Linghai Dalinghe Hospital, Fengcheng Phoenix Hospital, who underwent thyroidectomy for solitary nodules with normal thyroid function between Nov. 2016 and Jan. 2024. Postoperative pathology confirmed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) in some cases, who were further categorized into antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups based on serum antibody status. Patients without Hashimoto’s thyroiditis served as the control group. A total of 298 ultrasound images were analyzed. Radiomics features were extracted from hypoechoic non-nodular areas within 0.5 cm surrounding the tumor. Two senior pathologists and two senior ultrasound physicians independently assessed lymphocytic infiltration, eosinophilic changes of follicular epithelium, and the proportion of hypoechoic areas in pathology and ultrasound images, respectively. A machine learning model, CCH-NET, was developed using linear regression and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) techniques. The dataset was divided into a training set (80%) and a validation set (20%) to compare the diagnostic accuracy of CCH-NET with that of senior ultrasound physicians. Results:In internal validation, CCH-NET achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 88.89% for both antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups, significantly higher than the 66.67% accuracy of senior ultrasound physicians ( P<0.01). In external validation, CCH-NET achieved 75.00% and 66.67% accuracy for the two groups, compared to 50.00% by senior ultrasound physicians. For the control group, both methods achieved 93.33% accuracy. The AUC of CCH-NET was 0.848, outperforming senior ultrasound physicians (0.681) ,demonstrating superior diagnostic performance. Conclusion:The radiomics-based CCH-NET model, using non-nodular hypoechoic areas as a specific indicator, can accurately identify early SN-HT in euthyroid patients. It significantly outperforms senior ultrasound physicians, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing missed diagnoses.

Objective To establish a stable,reliable,and clinically relevant porcine model of endotoxin-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods Ten 8-month-old male Bama minipigs were deeply sedated,followed by invasive mechanical ventilation and electrocardiographic monitoring.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was intravenously pumped at 600 μg/(kg·h)for 3 hours,then maintained at 15 μg/(kg·h)thereafter.Dynamic monitoring was performed at five time points after LPS injection(LPS 0,1,3,5,and 8 h),including arterial blood gas analysis and chest computed tomography(CT)scans.Pathological examination of lung tissues obtained via bronchoscopic biopsy(HE staining and transmission electron microscopy)was conducted.These indicators were comprehensively used to evaluate the success of the animal model.Results At 5 hours after LPS administration,8 minipigs developed symptoms such as skin cyanosis,elevated body temperature,and respiratory distress.The oxygenation index decreased to<300 mmHg.Chest CT scans showed diffuse pulmonary infiltrates.Histopathology revealed alveolar edema and hyaline membrane formation.Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated disruption of pulmonary blood-air barrier,depletion of lamellar bodies in type Ⅱ pneumocytes,inflammatory cell infiltration,and exudation of plasma proteins and fibrin.Compared with LPS 0 h,at LPS 8 h,the oxygenation index and arterial blood pH were significantly decreased(P<0.001),while blood lactic acid and serum potassium were significantly increased(P<0.05);serum calcium and base excess were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the lung injury score based on HE-stained lung sections was significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion The porcine ARDS model established by continuous LPS injection can dynamically simulate the pathophysiological characteristics and typical pathological manifestations of clinical septic ARDS,making it an effective tool to study the pathogenesis,prevention,and treatment strategies of septic ARDS.

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.

Objective:To investigate the ameliorative effects of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine(ManNAc) on glucose and lipid metabolic disorders in obese mice.Methods:In vivo experiments were conducted using 21 four-week-old C57BL/6JGpt mice, randomly divided into three groups( n=7 per group): a normal control group, a high-fat diet(HFD) control grooup, and a ManNAc treatment group(400 mg·kg -1·d -1). The intervention lasted for 20 weeks. Body weight, food intake, and fasting blood glucose levels were monitored weekly. Glucose tolerance tests(GTT), insulin sensitivity tests(ITT), and respiratory metabolism monitoring were performed in the 17th, 18th, and 19th weeks, respectively. At the end of the experiment, whole-body fat distribution was assessed, and serum lipid profiles were measured. Liver and adipose tissue weights were recorded, and histological analyses including HE staining of liver, adipose and pancreatic tissues were performed. Liver transcriptome sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR) were conducted to evaluate hepatic gene expression. In vitro, a hepatic steatosis model was established by inducing HepG2 cell with 0.4 mmol/L oleic acid, followed by treatment with 500 μg/mL ManNAc. Lipid accumulation was assessed using BODIPY staining, and the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes was quantified by qPCR. Results:ManNAc administration attenuated HFD-induced weight gain, reduced total body fat volume, and decreased liver and adipose tissue weights as well as intracellular lipid accumulation. Pancreatic islet numbers increased, while fasting blood glucose levels, glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity significantly improved. Serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein levels were decreased, accompanied by enhanced energy expenditure. Additionally, hepatic expression of Cd36, Fabp3, and Scd1 was downregulated. In vitro, ManNAc significantly reduced lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells and downregulated the expression of Cd36, Fabp3, and Scd1 genes.Conclusion:ManNAc may improve glucose and lipid metabolism by modulating the PPARs-mediated fatty acid metabolic pathway, reducing lipogenesis, promoting fatty acid oxidation and energy expenditure, and enhancing insulin sensitivity, ultimately ameliorating disorders in obese mice.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized inhalation of recombinant human interferon (IFN) α1b injection in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in children.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled add-on design was used.Children with pneumonia or bronchiolitis aged 2 months to 5 years who tested positive for RSV antigen within 72 hours of onset from 30 clinical trial sites including Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University between February 2021 and December 2022 were included in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups at a ratio of 1∶1 based on a stratified-block method.Both groups received basic treatments such as cough control, asthma relieving, expectorant treatment, fever reduction, oxygen therapy, etc.The experimental group received additional nebulized inhalation of IFN α1b injection at a dose of 2.0 μg/(kg·time), twice a day.The control group received nebulized inhalation of placebo twice a day.Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on indicators such as the duration of clinical symptoms and signs, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the median and 95% CI of the duration of clinical symptoms and signs.The Log-rank test was used to compared data between groups.Safety was assessed through the incidence of adverse reactions and laboratory tests, and the Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results:There were 123 children in the experimental group and 122 children in the control group.The median durations of all the 5 clinical symptoms and signs [including shortness of breath, wheezing, dyspnea (visible retractions), decreased transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and abnormal mental state] in the experimental group after treatment were slightly shortened than those in the control group [2.7 d(95% CI: 1.9-3.0 d)] vs.[2.9 d(95% CI: 2.6-3.6 d), P=0.027].The improvement in dyspnea (retractions) was especially pronounced in the experimental group, with a relief rate of 50.0% (0, 100%) on the first day of administration[compared with 0 (0, 50.0%) in the control group ( Z=2.002, P=0.025)].The median duration of dyspnea in the experimental group was nearly 1 day shorter than that in the control group [1.0 d(95% CI: 0.7-1.7 d) vs.1.8 d(95% CI: 1.0-2.5 d), P=0.046].There were no significant difference in hospital stay [6.0(5.0, 8.0) d vs.6.5(5.0, 8.0) d, Z=0.675, P=0.500], oxygen therapy duration [32.0(14.0, 96.3) h vs.39.0 (24.0, 83.2) h, Z=0.094, P=0.925], the recovery rate from clinical symptoms during treatment [(105/106, 99.1%) vs.(96/101, 95.0%)], and recurrence rate [(0/106, 0) vs.(2/101, 2.0%)] between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).However, the above-mentioned four indicators in the experimental group showed a trend of clinical benefits.The quantitative virus detection results showed that the RSV viral load in both groups decreased after treatment compared to before treatment.After 2 days of treatment, the decline rate of RSV viral load from the baseline was 0.90 lg copies/(mL·d) in the experimental group and 0.25 lg copies/(mL·d)in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups ( P>0.05).Importantly, no drug-related serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusions:The nebulized inhalation therapy of IFN α1b demonstrates efficacy and safety in treating pediatric RSV associated lower respiratory tract infections.It particularly offers outstanding clinical therapeutic value for severe children.

Objective To explore the application effect of immersive virtual reality(IVR)technology and different viewing content in pediatric patients with general anesthesia during elective surgery,and to provide references for clinical implementation.Methods A total of 180 pediatric patients who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia in a tertiary hospital in Qingdao from February to October 2023 were selected as study population using convenient sampling method.According to the operation time,60 pediatric patients who underwent surgery from May to July 2023 were included in the immersive panoramic surgical education group,and they could watch the panoramic surgical education video immersively on the basis of routine care.A total of 60 pediatric patients who underwent surgery from August to October 2023 were included in the immersive animation group to watch cartoons immersively on the basis of routine care.A total of 60 pediatric patients who underwent surgery from February to April 2023 were included in the control group and routine preoperative care was implemented.The preoperative anxiety levels,anesthesia induction compliance,and incidence of emergence agitation were compared in the 3 groups by the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale-Short Form(mYPAS-SF),anesthesia induction cooperation grade,and the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale(PAED).Results There were statistically significant differences in preoperative anxiety level,anesthesia induced compliance and incidence of emergence agitation during awakening between the 3 groups(P＜0.001).Among them,the preoperative anxiety level of the immersive panoramic surgical education group and the immersive animation group was lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).The anesthesia induced compliance degree of the immersive panoramic surgical education group and the immersive animation group was better than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.017),and the incidence of emergence agitation in the immersive panoramic surgical education group was lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.004).Conclusion The use of IVR technology to watch panoramic surgical education videos and cartoons can help reduce the preoperative anxiety level and improve anesthesia induction cooperation degree of pediatric patients with general anesthesia during elective surgery,but the intervention effect of panoramic surgical education videos is better in improving the emergence agitation.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of using small and ultra-small sized grafts for in situ auxiliary liver transplantation in the treatment of portal hypertension.Methods:A prospective single-arm cohort study was conducted. Patients who underwent liver transplantation at Beijing Friendship Hospital from December 2014 to July 2025 were included. Intraoperative portal vein pressure was routinely monitored, with the target regulation for portal vein blood flow set at<15 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and follow-up continued until September 2025. The primary endpoints were the patient's status and graft survival. The secondary endpoints were small-for-size syndrome and perioperative complications. The small-for-size syndrome was graded according to the 2023 International Liver Transplantation Society consensus statement.Results:A total of 33 cases were enrolled. Among them, 22 had ultra-small size grafts, 11 had small-size grafts, 28 had living donor grafts, and five had split grafts. The graft-to-recipient weight ratio in living donor liver transplantation was 0.31%～0.79%, while in split liver transplantation it was 0.45%～1.02%. Intraoperative portal vein pressure of ≥15 mmHg was observed in 11 cases, who underwent portal vein blood flow adjustment via splenic artery ligation (2 cases), partial splenectomy (8 cases), and/or restrictive portocaval shunting (1 case), after which all patients achieved the target portal vein pressure. All cases completed at least one month of follow-up, with 28 cases following for more than one year, and the median follow-up period was 36.5 months. Early-stage postoperative small-for-size syndrome occurred in eight cases (24.2%, 8/33), all classified as grade A, with improvements following supportive treatment. Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo≥Ⅲ) occurred in three cases (9.1%, 3/33). The one-year survival rate was 92.9% (26/28). The overall survival rate at the end of follow-up was 90.9% (30/33). No patients experienced graft loss or death due to small-for-size syndrome. Graft tissue tested negative for hepatitis B core antibody and covalently closed circular DNA, and hepatitis B surface antigen seroconversion was achieved following second-stage residual liver resection and under a combined strategy of potent nucleos(t)ide analogs and hepatitis B immunoglobulin in ten cases of hepatitis B-related disease.Conclusions:With standardized portal vein blood flow monitoring and individualized portal vein blood flow adjustment, in situ auxiliary liver transplantation can safely and effectively use small and even ultra-small sized grafts, thereby significantly expanding graft sources and ensuring donor and recipient safety. These findings warrant further validation and promotion in multicenter controlled studies.
