Objective:To study the use of three-dimensional computer reconstruction in diagnosis and treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted on patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma admitted to the Department of General Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China from January 1, 2017 to July 31, 2019. The classification of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, vascular invasion and surgical resectability were determined by preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction. These data were then compared with the findings obtained during operations, by comparing with the three-dimensional reconstruction technology findings in classification of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, vascular invasion, and hilar extent of biliary and vasculature involvement.Results:Of 65 patients included in this study, there were 35 males and 30 females, with an age of (60.35±10.70) years. After operation, these 65 patients were classified into type I ( n=7), type II ( n=4), type III ( n=14), and type IV ( n=40) using the Bismuth classification. The accuracy rates of preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction for hilar cholangiocarcinoma classification, portal vein invasion, hepatic artery invasion, and diagnosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma vasculature involvement were 90.7% (59/65), 90.7% (59/65), 86.1% (56/65) and 80.0% (52/65) respectively. Conclusions:The three-dimensional computer reconstruction technology could visually and accurately display the shape and spatial extent of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. It has an important clinical use in accurately diagnosing hilar cholangiocarcinoma preoperatively.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of immunonutrition support in perioperative period of hepatectomy. Methods: Literatures were researched using CNKI，CBM，Wanfang database，VIP databases，PubMed (Medline)，Embase，Web of science，Science Direct，Cochrane Center from January 1996 to March 2018 with the key words including "肝切除术，免疫营养，hepatectomy，hepatic resection，immunonutrition，immunoenhanced nutrition" . The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on comparison of efficacy of immunonutrition support versus routine nutritional support in perioperative period of hepatectomy. Patients in the immunonutrition group received immunonutrition support in perioperative period of hepatectomy，and patients in the routine nutrition group received routine nutritional support in perioperative period of hepatectomy. Outcome measures：overall incidence of postoperative complications，incidence of postoperative infectious complications，incidence of postoperative liver failure，perioperative mortality，hospital stay，and hospitalization expenses. Literatures screening，data extraction and quality assessment of methodology were conducted by two researchers separately. Count data were represented as risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Measurement data were represented as mean difference (MD) or weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95%CI. Heterogeneity of the included studies was analyzed with I². Funnel plot was used to test potential publication bias if the number of studies included ≥ 10，and funnel plot was used to test potential publication bias for the outcome measures with the maximum number of studies if the number of studies included <10. Results: (1) Document retrival: 12 RCTs were enrolled in the Meta analysis, and the total sample size was 1 136 patients, including 568 patients in the immunonutrition group and in the routine nutrition group, respectively. (2) Results of Meta-analysis: the that immunonutrition group had lower overall incidence of postoperative complications, incidence of postoperative infectious complications, incidence of postoperative liver failure, and hospital stay (RR=0.57, 0.49, 0.30, MD=-3.28, 95%CI: 0.46-0.71, 0.37-0.65, 0.12-0.74, -4.45 to -2.11, P<0.05), and higher hospital expenses (MD=11.86, 95%CI: 10.96-12.77, P<0.05) compared with the routine nutrition group. There was no significant difference in the perioperative mortality between the two groups (RR=0.26, 95%CI: 0.07-1.05, P>0.05). The bilateral symmetry was presented in the funnel plot based on the 9 studies comparing incidence of postoperative infectious complications between the immunonutrition group and routine nutrition group, suggesting that publication bias had little influence on results of Meta-analysis. Conclusions Perioperative immunonutrition support for hepatectomy is safe and feasible. Compared with routine nutritional support, immunonutrition support can significantly reduce overall incidence of postoperative complications, incidence of postoperative infectious complications, incidence of postoperative liver failure, and shorten the hospital stay without increasing postoperative mortality.

Purpose To explore the clinical value of reducing the incidence of reflux and improving patients' comfort by low pressure contrast injection during transvaginal ultrasound real time three-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy).Materials and Methods Data ofTVS RT-3D HyCoSy using low pressure contrast injection of 498 infertile women were analyzed.The peak pressure,the incidence of reflux and adverse reactions were recorded.Compared these parameters between bilateral tubals.Results The peak pressure in patency,partially patency and fully obstructed of bilateral tubals were (22.47±5.96) kPa,(37.24±8.83) kPa and (44.64±7.73) kPa.There was significant difference among the three groups (F=70.35,P＜0.05).Among all 498 patients,the incidence of reflux was 26.31％.The incidence in patency,partially patency and fully obstructed of bilateral tubals were 18.00％,30.21％ and 43.59％.There was significant difference among the three groups (x2=15.59,P＜0.05).Different degrees of adverse reactions were 88.96％,10.64％ and 0.4％.Conclusion By using low pressure contrast injection during HyCoSy,the incidence of reflux can be reduced and examination comfort can be improved.

Objective To evaluate the application value of acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) in the early recovery of transplant liver.Methods Nineteen patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation were assigned into the study group and 12 healthy adults were recruited in the control group.In the study group,patients received bedside conventional ultrasound and ARFI examination at 1,2,3,5 and 7 d after liver transplantation to observe the change of transplant liver elasticity,and those in the control group underwent once conventional ultrasound and ARFI examination.Two-dimensional liver ultrasound,color Doppler ultrasound and ARFI findings were statistically compared between the study and control groups.Results Conventional ultrasound demonstrated that the liver graft was properly recovered within 1 week after liver transplantation.ARFI revealed that the shear ware velocity (SWV) at 1,2,3,5 and 7 d after liver transplantation was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P＜0.05).The SWV at postoperative 1 d was significantly higher than that at postoperative 7 d (P＜0.05).Conclusions ARFI can distinguish the liver stiffness between patients early after liver transplantation and healthy controls,and reflect the early variation of liver stiffness with good clinical application value.

Objective To evaluate the application value of ultrasound in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)for protecting the liver donation after brain-cardiac death (DBCD).Methods Forty patients with brain death or irreversible brain injury,admitted to Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command from April 2006 to November 201 4,were eligible for liver donation.The hepatic artery blood flow (QHA),portal vein blood flow (QPV)and ECMO-induced ECMO flow of hepatic artery (VE)of the donor liver were monitored by ultrasound before,5 min after the initiation of ECMO and immediately after ECMO.The changes of total bilirubin (TB),alanine transaminase (ALT)and lactic acid were observed at corresponding time points.Hepatic recovery was subsequently evaluated within 3 months after liver transplantation.Results The mean time of ECMO was (1 .0 ±0.2)h.There was no significant difference in QHA and QPV before and after ECMO (both in P >0.05).And there was no significant difference in liver function parameters before and after ECMO (all in P >0.05).At different time points within postoperative 3 months,the results of ultrasound evaluation and liver function test revealed that the transplant liver function was well recovered in 40 recipients.Conclusions Through monitoring QHA by ultrasound,the best ECMO flow should be chosen,which protects DBCD liver and averts perfusion injury and hypoperfusion.

Objective To evaluate the treatment of gastroentero-pancreatic neuroendcorine neoplasms with liver metastasis.Methods Two gastroentero-pancreatic neuroendcorine neoplasms with liver metastases treated at Anhui Provincial Hospital Affliated of Anhui Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.Results In first patient liver metastases from duodenal papilla neuroendocrine neoplasm was treated by four courses of TACE until the liver metastases completely disappeared.The patient then underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy to eradicate the primary tumor.The patient was followed up for 2 years and was doing well.In second patient, liver metastasis, noted four years after distal pancreatectomy for a neuroendocrine tumor, was initially managed by high dosage of octreotide and sunitinib.After these attempts failed, the patient received a liver transplantation four years ago and was followed up until March 1, 2015 without tumor recurrence.Conclusion Liver metastasis of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendcorine neoplasms responds positively to liver transplant with pretty good prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of splenic artery steal syndrome (SASS ) after liver transplantation. Methods Routine ultrasonography and contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)were performed in 10 cases with SASS (SASS group)and 8 cases of control patients with normal liver function after liver transplantation. The ultrasonographic findings of SASS were summed up. The diagnostic efficacy of CEUS was compared with that of digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Results In the SASS group,2D ultrasonography showed that the hepatic parenchyma was normal or there were some tiny necrosis foci in it,and color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI)showed that the blood flow signal of the hepatic artery was sparse or punctiform. CEUS showed the delayed and weak contrast-enhanced signals in hepatic artery after transplantation. The internal diameter of the splenic artery increased while that of the hepatic artery decreased. There was no significant difference between CEUS and DSA. Conclusions The routine ultrasonography and CEUS have a high value on the detection of suspected abnormal vascular system of transplant liver after liver transplantation as the noninvasive diagnostic tools.

Purpose To explore the association between ultrasound contrast agent injection volume as well as regurgitation and tubal patency. Methods SonoVue contrast agent was used for 515 cases of infertility transvaginal four-dimensional ultrasound imaging hysterosalpingography, recorded the amount of contrast agent injection, regurgitation, and compared contrast agent injection volume and regurgitation in different patency. Results The ultrasound contrast agent injection volume between bilateral patency with bilateral passable and one side patency one side passable as well as one side patency one side barrier, between one side patency one side passable and one side patency one side barrier had no significant difference (U=1467.0-4843.0, P>0.05);and it had statistical difference between any other two conditions (U=273.5-6160.0, P<0.05). The regurgitation between bilateral passable and bilateral barrier, one side passable one side barrier, between bilateral barrier and one side patency one side barrier, one side passable one side barrier, between one side patency one side passable and one side patency one side barrier had no statistical difference (U=949.5-6378.5, P>0.05), and it had statistical difference between any other two conditions (U=919.5-5126.5, P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound contrast agent injection volume and regurgitation in hysterosalpingography are associated with tubal patency, which can be used as objective indexes for assessing tubal patency, and provide basis for tubal patency.

Objective To access the diagnostic accuracy and clinical value of transvaginal real time three-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (RT-3D-HyCoSy) in evaluating the fallopian tube patency.Methods 428 infertile women were under went transvaginal RT-3D-HyCoSy and 32 of them were underwent laparoscopically salpingoraphy to evaluate the fallopian tube patency.Results 846 fallopian tubeswere studied by RT-3D-HyCoSy,271 of them were unobstructed,202 of them were obstructed,373 of them were partially passable.Compared with laparoscopically salpingography,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of transvaginal RT-3D HyCoSy were 84.0％,100％,87.5％ and 90.9％,respectively.The transvagianl RT-3D HyCoSy and the laparoscopy with a Cohen's Kappa was 0.788.Conclusions Transvagianl RT-3D HyCoSy could dynamic show the visualization of the course from uterus to distal tubal and the both ovary consecutively.It has more advantage in assessing the patency of tubal and distal tubal function.
