Biliary atresia （BA） is characterized by progressive inflammation and fibrous obstruction of bile ducts， ultimately leading to cholestatic liver cirrhosis. Kasai surgery is the standard procedure for the treatment of BA， and early diagnosis is a key influencing factor for the prognosis of BA. Indocyanine green （ICG） is a near-infrared photosensitive dye that is efficiently and selectively absorbed by hepatocytes after intravenous injection， and it enters the intestine via bile and is excreted with the feces in the free form， with a favorable safety profile. In addition， ICG can emit fluorescence under near-infrared light， which can be captured by camera instruments and converted into visual images， and ICG fluorescence imaging technology can reflect the intraoperative situation in real time and significantly improve the success rate of the surgical procedure. This article reviews the advances in the application of ICG in early preoperative diagnosis， intraoperative imaging， and postoperative liver function assessment in recent years.

BACKGROUND: The available evidence regarding the benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on patients receiving dialysis with coronary artery disease (CAD) is limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PCI and clinical outcomes as compared with medical therapy alone in patients undergoing dialysis with CAD in China. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in 30 tertiary medical centers across 12 provinces in China from January 2015 to June 2021 to include patients on dialysis with CAD. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke. Secondary outcomes included all-cause death, the individual components of MACE, and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria types 2, 3, or 5 bleeding. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between PCI and outcomes. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed to account for potential between-group differences. RESULTS: Of the 1146 patients on dialysis with significant CAD, 821 (71.6%) underwent PCI. After a median follow-up of 23.0 months, PCI was associated with a 43.0% significantly lower risk for MACE (33.9% [ n  = 278] vs . 43.7% [ n  = 142]; adjusted hazards ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.45-0.71), along with a slightly increased risk for bleeding outcomes that did not reach statistical significance (11.1% vs . 8.3%; adjusted hazards ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval, 0.82-2.11). Furthermore, PCI was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities. Subgroup analysis did not modify the association of PCI with patient outcomes. These primary findings were consistent across IPTW, PSM, and competing risk analyses. CONCLUSION This study indicated that PCI in patients on dialysis with CAD was significantly associated with lower MACE and mortality when comparing with those with medical therapy alone, albeit with a slightly increased risk for bleeding events that did not reach statistical significance.

Bipolar affective disorder refers to a category of mood disorders characterized clinically by the presence of both manic or hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes.Lithium stands out as the primary pharmacological intervention for managing bipolar affective disorder.However,its therapeutic dosage closely approaches toxic levels.Toxic symptoms appear when the blood lithium concentration surpasses 1.4 mmol/L,typically giving rise to gastrointestinal and central nervous system reactions.Cardiac toxicity is rare but serious in cases of lithium poisoning.The study reports a case of a patient with bipolar affective disorder who reached a blood lithium concentration of 6.08 mmol/L after the patient took lithium carbonate sustained-release tablets beyond the prescribed dosage daily and concurrently using other mood stabilizers.This resulted in symptoms such as arrhythmia,shock,impaired consciousness,and coarse tremors.Following symptomatic supportive treatment,including blood dialysis,the patient's physical symptoms gradually improved.It is necessary for clinicians to strengthen the prevention and recognition of lithium poisoning.

Objective Establish a standardized evaluation system for medical faults,and provide theoretical basis for medical institutions and related industries to evaluate the illegality of medical behaviors.Methods Based on a litera-ture review,the medical fault assessment system was initially constructed,and then a research group was estab-lished to use Delphi method to invite 31 experts to evaluate the importance and feasibility of each article of the medi-cal fault assessment system and put forward suggestions for modification.Results The effective recovery rates of the two rounds of expert consultation were 83.9％and 96.8％,the expert authority coefficient was 0.902 and 0.887,and the Kendall's W test of all levels differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).The medical fault assess-ment system finally constructed includes 5 first-level items including practicing medicine according to law,informed notification,diagnosis and treatment technology,medical record documents and hospital management,as well as 10 second-level items,20 third-level items and 47 fourth-level items.The mean values of importance and feasibili-ty scores of all articles were greater than 4,standard deviations were less than 1,and coefficients of variation were less than 0.2.Conclusion The medical fault standardized evaluation system is scientific,reliable,innovative and appli-cable.

Objective:This study examined the development trend and research hotspot of cardiopulmonary brain resuscitation in the last ten years by a visual analysis of the literature on post-cardiac arrest brain injury.Methods:English articles were acquired from the Web of Sciences (WOS) core database. CiteSpace 5.8.R3 software was used to analyze annual publications, countries, institutions, authors. We identified the trending research areas by analyzing collaborative networks, keywords co-occurrence, burst detection analysis, timeline and time-zone diagrams.Results:The search included 10 867 articles in the WOS core database from Jan 1, 2013 to Oct 25, 2023. In the last ten years, the top 3 nations were the United States, China, and Japan, with the United States having the most citation of 3691 and an centrality of 0.47. The author with the highest number of publications was Hans Friberg from Sweden. The top 5 most frequent keywords in WOS were cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, resuscitation, survival, outcome. Keyword cluster analysis showed 4 clusters, including: #0 of-hospital cardiac arrest, #1 traumatic brain injury, #2 targeted temperature management, #3 global cerebral ischemia. Keyword burst showed that the top 5 ranked by strength are mild hypothermia, emergency cardiovascular care, neuron specific enolase, cerebral ischemia, epinephrine, and the top 5 ranked by the year of burst begins are out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, cpr, epinephrine, coma, and task force. The timeline and time zone charts indicated that, starting in 2017, the main fields of study concentration were traumatic brain injury and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Additionally, extracorporeal membrane, intensive care, risk factors, and electroencephalography were identified as new high-frequency keywords.Conclusions:Over the past ten years, the research hotspots on post-cardiac arrest brain injury include out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, traumatic brain injury, and target temperature control. The research development trends will be extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, critical care, and EEG.
