Objective:To summarize and investigate the ultrasound manifestations, clinical characteristics, causes, and prognosis of hepatic portal vein gas (HPVG) after liver transplantation in children.Methods:A case series study. Clinical data of 9 pediatric recipients diagnosed with HPVG by ultrasound after liver transplantation between January 2012 and August 2023 were collected, and the ultrasound manifestations, causes, clinical features, and prognosis of HPVG were analyzed.Results:A total of 1,850 pediatric liver transplantations were performed during the same period in Tianjin First Central Hospital, among which 9 cases (0.48%) developed HPVG; 6 cases occurred within 1 month after surgery, and 3 cases occurred more than 1 month after surgery; the duration ranged from 2 to 15 days, with a median of 7 (4.5, 9.0) days. HPVG was first detected by ultrasound in all cases, with common ultrasound manifestations including bubble-like or punctate strong echoes flowing with blood in the portal vein, and patchy strong echoes with unclear borders in the liver parenchyma. Among the 9 patients, 3 had diarrhea with intestinal flora imbalance, 2 had abdominal distension with incomplete intestinal obstruction, 1 had colonic fistula with repeated replacement of Li's tube and concurrent abdominal distension, 1 was experiencing acute T-cell-mediated rejection of the transplanted liver, and the remaining 2 were asymptomatic. Patients with diarrhea and intestinal dysbiosis were treated with Bifidobacterium Lactobacillus triple viable tablets to regulate flora and montmorillonite powder to relieve diarrhea, which gradually subsided. Patients with abdominal distension and incomplete intestinal obstruction were treated with fasting, intravenous nutrition, and enema, and the obstruction gradually resolved, along with disappearance of HPVG.Conclusion:HPVG after liver transplantation has characteristic ultrasound manifestations, and its occurrence may be related to intestinal gas, obstruction, dysbiosis, or mucosal damage. Treatment may be conservative or surgical depending on the underlying cause and severity.

Objective:To understand the contract renewal willingness and its influencing factors among rural order-oriented medical students in Shaanxi Province. M ethods This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed methods design to examine contract renewal patterns among rural order-oriented medical graduates. From February to July 2024, a questionnaire survey was conducted among rural order-oriented medical students who graduated from 2015 to 2023 in Shaanxi Province. The participants were first stratified into three strata based on their year of graduation and stage of service, and one-third of each stratum was randomly selected as the research subjects. Univariate and multivariate analysis methods were used to explore the influencing factors of their willingness to renew their service in rural areas. Secondly, qualitative research methods were employed to conduct thematic interviews with 36 targeted medical students on the influencing factors of their willingness to renew their service. Results:A total of 513 valid questionnaires were collected during the quantitative research phase, including 224 males and 289 females. Of these, 14 were from the 2015-2017 cohort, 247 from the 2018-2020 cohort, and 252 from the 2021-2023 cohort. The results showed that only 30.4%(156/513) of the orientation medical students were willing to practice in primary care after the period of service. Univariate analysis showed that there were six factors related to the willingness to renew the contract, the consistency of the source and implementation of the contract, the completion of the standardized training of residents, the satisfaction with primary work, professional identity, the ability of primary diagnosis and treatment, and the training system and the suitability of primary work. Multivariate analysis showed that the willingness to renew the contract was significantly higher in the students who had the same place of origin and the place of performance( OR=1.7, 95% CI: 1.1-2.6, P=0.022). The willingness to renew the contract was significantly higher among students who participated in the standardized residency training than those who completed the training( OR=2.0, 95% CI: 1.3-3.0, P=0.003), and students with a better fit between the training system and working in primary care were more likely to renew their contract( OR=4.1, 95% CI: 2.8-6.0, P<0.001). Four themes were extracted from the interview: subjective factors, objective environment, policy factors and other factors. Conclusions:The study shows that improving the consistency of the source of students and the implementation of the contract, strengthening the standardized training of residents, and optimizing the adaptation of the training system to the primary work are the key measures to improve the willingness of directional medical students to renew their contract at the primary level.

Objective To investigate the initial temperature sensation and pressure pain sensation in patients receiving invisible or-thodontic treatment.Methods Twenty-two patients receiving clear aligner treatment(experimental group)and 22 volunteers(control group)participated.Perceptual changes were assessed using the visual analogue scale(VAS)and quantitative sensory testing(QST).The QST employed in this study included warm detection threshold/heat pain threshold(WDT/HPT),cold detection threshold/cold pain threshold(CDT/CPT),and pressure pain threshold(PPT).Tests were conducted on teeth 21 and 31,their gums,the left hand,and the left masseter muscle.Assessments occurred at baseline,2 hours,24 hours,7 days,and 28 days after aligner placement.Re-sults In the experimental group,VAS scores peaked at 24 hours and then significantly decreased(P＜0.01).For teeth 21 and 31,the WDT and HPT of the labial attached gingiva,along with the PPT of these teeth,showed significant decreases at 24 hours and 7 days compared to baseline and the control group(P＜0.01).At 24 hours and 7 days,VAS scores were negatively correlated with the WDT and HPT of the labial attached gingiva of teeth 21 and 31(P＜0.05).Conclusion At 24 hours and 7 days post-clear aligner treatment,thermal sensitivity and pain,as well as pressure pain sensitivity,increased for the gingiva of teeth 21 and 31.Thermal sensitivity was also correlated with pain intensity.

It is believed that the pathogenesis of oculomotor nerve palsy is insufficient marrow sea （髓海）， withered yang qi， poor contraction of eyelids and periocular meridians， and inability to open and close the eyes. The eye system is connected to the marrow sea， as well as the the foot taiyang （太阳） channel， foot yangming （阳明） channel， foot jueyin （厥阴） channel， yinqiao mai （阴跷脉） and yangqiao mai （阳跷脉）， and is nourished by the liver， spleen and kidney. Treatment should take into account both the branch and the root cause. It is suggested to treat the root by regulating the marrow sea， and treat the branch by unblocking the meridians and dredging the collaterals， thereby balancing the mild and the urgency of the yinqiao mai and yangqiao mai. Using the "Gen （根）-Liu（溜）-Zhu （注）-Ru （入）"acupoints to bypass the various meridians and taking the gallbladder meridian according to twelve major meridians that run on both sides of the body， both of which can provide ideas for improving symptoms such as ptosis and limited eye movement caused by oculomotor nerve palsy.

Objective:To obtain the normal reference range of hemodynamic ultrasound parameters after pediatric liver transplantation through big data query and statistical analysis, and compare their changes with age.Methods:The clinical liver transplantation ultrasound imaging database software V1.0 independently developed by Tianjin First Central Hospital was used to query the ultrasound hemodynamic parameters of 0-14 years old pediatric patients after parental liver transplantation from December 2012 to December 2022, including portal vein diameter (PVD) on the 1st day, 7th day, 1st month, 6th month, 1st year, 5th year, and 10th year after surgery. The changes in ultrasound blood flow parameters such as portal vein velocity (PVV), hepatic artery peak velocity (S), hepatic artery end diastolic velocity (D), and left hepatic vein velocity (LHVV) with postoperative time in different age groups were analyzed, the differences between age groups were compared, and statistical analysis was perform to obtain the 95% reference value range for each parameter.Results:A total of 731 pediatric patients aged 0-14 years who underwent parental liver transplantation were included in this study, with a total of 5 283 monitoring results. The ultrasound hemodynamic parameters PVV, hepatic artery S, D, and LHVV were highest at 7th day after surgery, and gradually showed a sustained and slightly decreasing trend with the prolongation of postoperative time. At the same time, there was no statistically significant difference in PVV, hepatic artery S, D, and LHVV among different age groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:This study obtains the trend of ultrasound hemodynamic parameters after pediatric liver transplantation with prolonged follow-up time, and compared them among different age groups.After pediatric liver transplantation, there is no significant change in liver hemodynamic parameters with increasing age. Obtaining reference value ranges for various parameters in different age groups is of great clinical significance for early detection and diagnosis of postoperative vascular complications. Pediatric liver transplantation is more complex than adult liver transplantation, and in clinical monitoring, more attention should be paid to the dynamic changes of transplanted liver blood flow, combining with individual patient status, to provide imaging support for clinical diagnosis.
