Objective To discuss the application value of coronary CT angiography(CCTA)evaluation of morphological parameters of coronary chronic total occlusion(CTO)in guiding interventional therapy.Methods A total of 300 patients with coronary angiography-confirmed CTO in Jinhua Municipal People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected.All patients received CCTA examination before surgery.The morphological parameters of CCTA,including proximal morphology of occlusion segment,length of occlusion vessel,length of linear enhancement in occlusion segment,length of linear enhancement in occlusion segment/length of occlusion vessel,vascular linear enhancement in occlusion segment,vascular calcification in occlusion segment,vascular calcification area in occlusion segment ≥50％on cross section image,tortuous path of lesion(＞45°),collateral vessels and lesion of vascular opening,were recorded.The correlation between the above parameters and therapeutic results of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)was analyzed.Results There were 325 lesions in 300 patients with CTO,and 227 lesions(69.85％)were successfully treated by PCI and PCI treatment failed in 98 lesions(30.15％).The proximal blunt shape of occlusion segment,length of occlusion vessel,vascular calcification area of occlusion segment ≥50％on cross section image,and tortuous path of lesion(＞45°)in the failure group were significantly higher than those in the successful group(all P＜0.05),while the length of linear enhancement in occlusion segment,length of linear enhancement in occlusion segment/length of occlusion vessel and vascular linear enhancement in occlusion segment in the failure group were strikingly lower than those in the successful group(all P＜0.05).No obvious significant differences in other parameters existed between the two groups(all P＞0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the length of linear enhancement in occlusion segment(OR=1.975,95％CI:1.306-2.988),the length of linear enhancement in occlusion segment/length of occlusion vessel(OR=3.831,95％CI:1.332-11.017),and the linear enhancement in occlusion segment(OR=1.702,95％CI:1.007-2.879)were the valuable factors for predicting the success of PCI treatment(all P＜0.05).Conclusion CCTA evaluation of coronary CTO morphological parameters has a certain value in guiding interventional therapy.The length of linear enhancement in occlusion segment,the length of linear enhancement in occlusion segment/length of occlusion vessel,and the linear enhancement in occlusion segment are the useful factors for predicting the success of PCI treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the early changes in various liver function indicators in critically injured trauma patients assessed by intelligent calculation method, aiming to develop more advantageous diagnostic and treatment strategies for traumatic liver injury. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted. Critically injured trauma patients [injury severity score (ISS) ≥ 16, age > 18 years old] admitted to the Emergency Medical Center of Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital from January 1, 2022, to December 1, 2023 were enrolled. ISS score and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) assessed by intelligent calculation method were collected upon patient admission to the emergency medical center. Trends in liver function indicators in fasting venous serum were analyzed at 6, 24 and 72 hours after admission, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), albumin (ALB), total bilirubin (TBil), prothrombin time (PT). Patients were grouped based on APACHE II scores into those with APACHE II < 15 and APACHE II ≤ 15, and liver function indicators within 6 hours of admission were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: A total of 112 critically injured trauma patients were included, with 83 males and 29 females, an average age of (47.78±14.84) years old. The median ISS score was 21.0 (18.0, 26.0). The most common cause of injury for critically injured trauma patients was road traffic accidents (68 cases, accounting for 60.71%), followed by falls from heights, compression injuries, heavy object injuries, knife stabs, and explosion injuries. The most common injured areas was the limbs and pelvis (97 cases, accounting for 86.61%), followed by chest injuries, surface skin and soft tissue injuries, abdominal and pelvic organ injuries, head injuries, and facial injuries. The proportion of elevated LDH, AST, and ALT within 6 hours of admission was 77.68%, 79.46%, and 52.68%, respectively, while the proportion of decreased ALB was 75.89%, the abnormal rates of ALP, GGT, TBil, and PT were all below 50%. The ALT and AST levels of patients at 24 hours and 72 hours after admission were significantly lower than those at 6 hours after admission [ALT (U/L): 37.0 (22.0, 66.0), 31.0 (21.2, 52.0) vs. 41.0 (25.0, 71.0), AST (U/L): 55.5 (30.0, 93.5), 40.0 (27.0, 63.2) vs. 69.5 (39.0, 130.8), all P < 0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in ISS score between APACHE II > 15 group (45 cases) and APACHE II ≤ 15 group [67 cases; 21.0 (18.5, 26.5) vs. 20.0 (17.0, 22.0), P > 0.05]. Nevertheless, compared with patients with APACHE II ≤ 15, patients with APACHE II > 15 have a higher abnormality rate of ALT and AST within 6 hours of admission [ALT abnormal rate: 66.44% (29/45) vs. 44.78% (30/67), AST abnormal rate: 93.33% (42/45) vs. 70.15% (47/67), both P < 0.05], and the levels of ALT and AST were higher [ALT (U/L): 56.0 (30.0, 121.0) vs. 35.0 (21.0, 69.0), AST (U/L): 87.0 (48.0, 233.0) vs. 52.0 (31.0, 117.0), both P < 0.05]. CONCLUSIONS Severe trauma patients frequently exhibit a high incidence of reversible early liver function impairment. Based on intelligent calculation method, the utilization of both the ISS and APACHE II scores demonstrates a distinct advantage in the assessment of their early liver injury.

Objective:To explore the effect of identifying pelvic lymph nodes by different injection of indocyanine green (ICG) during fluorescent laparoscopic radical cystectomy.Methods:The data of 54 male bladder cancer patients admitted to the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from September 2021 to September 2022 were analyzed. Preoperative cystoscopic biopsy all revealed a pathological diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma. All patients underwent fluorescent laparoscopic radical cystectomy plus pelvic lymph node dissection.They were divided into 3 groups according to the annotated route: 6 in the medial malleolus injection group, 68(61, 73) years; 4 in the perineal injection group, 67(59, 74) years; 44 in the medial malleolus and perineum, 64(45, 78) in the combined injection group. Under general anesthesia, patients were placed in the supine position with 0.3 to 0.5 ml of subcutaneous ICG solution (2.5 mg/ml) injected from 1.0 to 1.5 h before surgery. In the medial malleolus injection group, 0.3 to 0.5 ml (0.75 mg/place) was injected at 2 cm above the medial malleolus and 0.3 to 0.5 ml (0.75 mg/place) at two symmetrical sites above the anus. Intraoperatively, 4K fluorescent laparoscopy was used to observe the color development of the injection site and lymphatic vessels in vitro, and then to observe the development of pelvic lymph nodes in vivo.Results:In 3 groups, inguinal lymph nodes were developed about 30 min after ICG injection, and 1 h later, the longest (4.5±0.3) h. The external iliac and common iliac lymph nodes, the obturatorius lymph nodes in the perineal injection group, and the inguinal, obturatorius, external iliac, internal, anterior sacral, and common iliac lymph nodes in the medial malleolar and perineal injection group. In this study, in 54 cases, the postoperative pathological examination confirmed that the removed fluorescently labeled tissue was lymph node tissue, and the lymph node detection rate was 100%. The postoperative stage was pT 2, 14, 32 pT 3 and 8 pT 4; 4 pNx, 44 pN 0, 5 pN 1and 1 pN 2. In the medial malleolar injection group, 2 patients staged pT 2, 3 stage pT 3, 1 stage pT 4; 1stage pNx stage, 4 stage pN 0 and 1 stage pN 1 stage. In the perineal injection group, 4 patients had postoperative pathological stage pT 3N 0; in the medial malleolar and perineal injection group, 12 pT 2, 25 and 7 pT 3; 3 pNx, 36 pN 0, 4 pN 1 and 1pN 2. Conclusions:ICG injection through the perineum and subcutaneous labeling of pelvic lymph nodes, and the simple malleolus or perineal injection can not completely develop the pelvic lymph nodes. The combined injection could fully develop the pelvic lymph nodes, which may accurately guide the operator to locate, identify and remove pelvic lymph nodes.
