Objective:To investigate the features of median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) in computed tomography angiography (CTA).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical and imaging data of 56 patients with MALS who were admitted to Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine from November 2019 to October 2020 were collected. There were 30 males and 26 females, aged from 19 to 78 years, with a median age of 54 years. All 56 patients underwent CTA. Observation indicators: (1) CTA examination; (2) correlation analysis; (3) surgical situations. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. Spearman correlation analysis with test level of 0.05 was used to analyze the correlation between celiac trunk stenosis and the distance between the original location of celiac trunk and original location of superior mesenteric artery and the minimum distance of celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. Results:(1) CTA examination. ① Celiac trunk stenosis: results of cross sectional examina-tion of CTA showed that of 56 patients, there were 2 cases of celiac trunk occlusion, 10 cases of severe stenosis, 9 cases of moderate stenosis and 35 cases of mild stenosis. Results of sagittal examination of CTA showed that of 56 patients, there were 2 cases of celiac trunk occlusion, 21 cases of severe stenosis, 15 cases of moderate stenosis and 18 cases of mild stenosis. ② Examination of patients with different degree of vascular stenosis: according to the results of sagittal examination of CTA, the 2 cases with celiac trunk occlusion were negative for aneurysms, aortic dissection or vascular variations but positive for compensated varix of the anterior and posterior pancreatico-duodenal arches. Of the 21 cases with celiac trunk severe stenosis, 2 cases were positive for aneurysms, 1 case was positive for aortic dissection, 7 cases were positive for compensated varix of the anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arches, 8 cases were positive for collateral circula-tions of anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal archs and 8 cases were positive for vascular variation. Of the 15 cases with celiac trunk moderate stenosis, 2 cases were positive for aneurysms, 3 cases were positive for aortic dissection, 2 cases were positive for compensated varix of the anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arches, 4 cases were positive for collateral circulations of anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal archs and 7 cases were positive for vascular variation. Of the 18 cases with celiac trunk mild stenosis, 1 case was positive for aneurysms, 2 cases were positive for aortic dissection, 7 cases were positive for collateral circulations of the anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arches, 6 cases were positive for vascular variation. All 56 patients were negative for ischemia of liver, spleen and stomach. ③ Original location of celiac trunk: of 56 patients, there were 43 cases had celiac trunk originated horizontally from the lower edge of T12 vertebral body, 2 cases had celiac trunk originated from the middle of T12 vertebral body, 1 case had celiac trunk originated from the upper part of T12 vertebral body, 7 cases had celiac trunk originated from the upper part of L1 vertebral body, 1 case had celiac trunk originated from the middle of L1 vertebral body and 2 cases had occluding celiac trunk. (2) Correlation analysis: results of sagittal observation on CTA examination showed the distance between the original location of celiac trunk and original location of superior mesenteric artery of the 56 patients was (6.0±4.0) mm. The distance between the original location of celiac trunk and original location of superior mesenteric artery of patients with celiac trunk mild, moderate or severe stenosis were (6.2±2.8)mm, (8.1±4.4)mm and (5.3±3.2)mm respectively. There were 23 cases of the 56 patients had the distance between the original location of celiac trunk and original location of superior mesenteric artery <5 mm. Results of correlation analysis showed that the degree of celiac trunk stenosis was not related to the distance between the original location of celiac trunk and original location of superior mesenteric artery ( r=?0.205, P>0.05). Results of sagittal observation on CTA examination showed the shortest distance between celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery of the 56 patients was (3.8±2.4)mm. The shortest distance between celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery of patients with celiac trunk mild, moderate or severe stenosis were (4.2±2.0)mm, (4.4±3.3)mm and (3.0±1.9)mm, respectively. There were 45 cases of the 56 patients had the shortest distance between celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery <5 mm. Results of correlation analysis showed that the degree of celiac trunk stenosis was not related to the shortest distance between celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery ( r=?0.249, P>0.05). (3) Surgical situations: of 56 patients, 2 cases were positive for clinical symptoms of abdominal pain, 54 cases were negative for clinical symptoms, 4 cases under-went surgical treatment and 52 cases not underwent surgical treatment. Of the 4 cases undergoing surgical treatment, 2 cases with abdominal pain were diagnosed as MALS by upper abdominal CTA. Celiac trunk of the 2 cases were severe stenosis and stents implantation under celiac arteriography were performed. Results of postoperative CTA showed celiac trunk was negative for obvious stenosis. The other 2 cases who were negative for clinical symptoms of MALS were planed to pancreaticoduo-denectomy for pancreatic head tumor. Results of preoperative CTA showed severe stenosis of celiac trunk and arterial bypass grafting was performed for the 2 cases during pancreaticoduodenectomy to alleviate liver ischemia caused by gastroduodenal artery ligation which would avoid the incidence of postoperative MALS associated complications. Result of postoperative CTA three-dimensional reconstruction showed the bypass vessel was unobstructed. Conclusion:Based on sagittal result of CTA examination, the stenosis of celiac trunk, the anatomical relationship between celiac trunk and arcuate ligament and the original location of celiac trunk of MALS patients can be evaluated.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes between the new cold-circulation bipolar radiofrequency assisted versus Habib-4X bipolar radiofrequency assisted open hemihepatectomy.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 45 patients who underwent bipolar radiofrequency assisted open hemihepatectomy at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2016 to January 2020. There were 28 males and 17 females, with an average age of 52.2 years. These patients were divided into the experimental group ( n=20) who underwent the new cold-circulation bipolar radiofrequency assisted open liver resection, and the control group ( n=25) who underwent the Habib 4X bipolar radiofrequency assisted open liver resection. The postoperative alanine aminotransferase (ALT), postoperative aspartate aminotransferase (AST), liver coagulative necrosis plane width, speed of liver parenchymal transection, electrode needle carbonization rate, and postoperative complications were compared between groups. Results:In the experimental group, the speed of liver parenchymal transection was (5.0±2.0) cm 2/min, the width of the coagulative necrosis plane was (1.36±0.21) cm, the AST on the first postoperative day was (177.0±79.3) U/L, the ALT on the first postoperative day was (200.2±78.5) U/L, and the electrode needle tip carbonization rate was 20.0% (4/20). These figures were significantly better than the control group with (3.6±1.7) cm 2/min, (1.93±0.16) cm, (233.2±66.6) U/L, (249.2±62.9) U/L, and 56.0% (14/25), respectively (all P<0.05). The postoperative complication rate was 15.0% (3/20) in the experimental group and 24.0% (6/25) in the control group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Cold-circulation bipolar radiofrequency assisted hemihepatectomy was safe and feasible. It had the advantages of rapid transection of liver parenchyma, a low electrode tip carbonization rate, and a more accurate coagulation range.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of iodine density map and low keV virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) derived from dual-layer spectral detector CT (DLCT) for the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) detection.Methods:From January to June 2019, data of 23 pathologically confirmed patients of pNETs were retrospectively analyzed. All of the patients underwent pancreas enhanced DLCT scanning within 1 week before surgery. The conventional polyenergetic images (PI), iodine density map and 40, 50, 60, 70 keV VMI were generated. One resident radiologist with 3 years’ experience and one senior radiologist with over 10 years’ experience interpreted the images for the lesion detection independently using the following image series: PI, VMI (40-70 keV), PI combined with iodine density map. Lesion detection rates were recorded and compared among different image series. The CT value and noise of lesion, normal pancreatic parenchyma, and abdominal subcutaneous fat were measured in PI and VMI in both arterial and portal vein phases. The contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of lesion was calculated. The CT value of lesion and normal pancreatic parenchyma, CNR of lesion, and image noise were compared using repeated one-way ANOVA test. Subjective image quality was assessed with a 5-point scale and compared with Friedman test.Results:A total of 26 lesions were confirmed from 23 patients. For resident radiologist and senior radiologist, the detection rates of pNETs lesion using PI were 76.9% (20/26) and 84.6% (22/26) respectively, and both improved to 92.3% (24/26) using image series of 40 and 50 keV VMI. For senior radiologist, the pNETs lesion detection rate was further improved to 96.2% (25/26) using image series of PI with iodine map. The CT value of lesion and normal pancreatic parenchyma, CNR, and image noise had statistical differences among PI and VMI (40-70 keV) in both arterial and portal vein phase ( P<0.001). The mean CT attenuation and CNR of lesion in VMI increased significantly as the energy level decreased.The CNR of lesion in all VMI (40-70 keV) was significantly higher than that in PI. The median of subjective scores of image quality in PI and VMI (40-70 keV) were 3, 3, 4, 4, and 5 respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=66.393, P<0.001). Conclusions:The low keV VMI derived from DLCT can increase the CT value and CNR of pNETs, and the lesion detection rate can be improved combined with iodine density map. The CNR of pNETs is the highest in 40 keV VMI, and image noise is still lower than that of PI, so 40 keV VMI is recommended for clinical application.

Objective:To explore the image quality of 40 keV virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) derived from dual-layer spectral detector CT （DLCT） pancreas dynamic enhanced scanning and its optimal window setting.Methods:From January to July 2019, 28 patients who underwent pancreas enhanced DLCT scan within one week before surgery and pathologically confirmed of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) were retrospectively enrolled. Conventional polyenergetic images (PI) and 40 keV virtual monoenergetic images （VMI 40 keV） were generated after scanning.CT value of normal pancreatic parenchyma, lesion, abdominal subcutaneous fat, abdominal aorta and portal vein were measured in PI and VMI 40 keV. The contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the pNETs lesion was calculated. All these objective results were compared between VMI 40 keV and PI using paired ttest. Individual window settings （W-Ind, including window width and window level） of VMI 40 keVwere recorded. Calculated window settings （W-Calc） were mathematically calculated via regression analysis and optimized window settings （W-Opt） were obtained.Subjective image quality was assessed with a 5-point scale and compared among VMI 40 keV with different window settings (W-Std, W-Ind, W-Calc and W-Opt) using Friedman test, and compared PI with standard abdominal window setting (W-Std) and VMI 40keV with W-Opt settings using Wilcoxon test.The maximum diameter of lesion was measured and compared with one-way ANOVA analysis among PI and VMI 40 keV with different windows settings. Results:For VMI 40 keV in both arterial phase and portal vein phase, the CT attenuation [(464.0±136.7), (375.4±79.2) HU] of pNETs lesion were statistically significantly higher than those in PI [（168.8±38.0), (140.5±23.5) HU] （ t=-16.107,-22.225, P<0.001）, CNR （16.5±11.1, 10.9±6.1） were also statistically significantly higher than those in PI （4.5±2.9, 3.0±1.9） （ t=-7.838, -9.781， P<0.001）,while with lower image noise in VMI 40 keV[（11.8±1.5),(11.8±1.4) HU] than PI （13.1±1.5,12.9±1.3 HU）（ t=6.356,3.891， P<0.001）. The subjective score for PI with W-Std and VMI 40 keV with W-Std, W-Ind, W-Calc, W-Opt in arterial phase were 4（1）, 1（0）, 5（0）, 5（0.75）, 5（1）, and which in portal vein phase were 3.5（1）, 1（0）, 5（0）, 5（0）, 5（1）.The subjective score of VMI 40 keV with different window settings had statistical differences （χ 2=76.143,76.000， P<0.001）. Compared to the image quality of PI with W-Std settings, VMI 40 keV with W-Opt settings have higher objective score （ Z=4.685, 4.235， P<0.001）. The maximum diameter of lesion has no statistical difference among PI and VMI 40 keV with different window settings （ F=0.008, 0.004， P>0.999） in both arterial phase and portal vein phase. Conclusions:The VMI 40 keV in pancreas dynamic enhancement scanning derived from dual-layer spectral detector CT have higher image quality than PI. Due to changes of CT value of tissue in VMI 40 keV, it is recommended to optimize window settings （window width/window level， 880/230 HU for arterial phase and 840/260 HU for portal vein phase） to obtain the best image quality.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is mostly treated by surgery combined with interventional therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and local treatment. However, it often relapses after the operation. And the prognosis of advanced patients is poor, and the effective rate of chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy is low. Recent studies indicated that the occurrence and progress of HCC are closely related to the immune function of the body. Immunotherapy, as a new type of tumor therapy, has drawn much attention. By improving the immunogenicity of tumor cells and the killing sensitivity of effector cells, it stimulates the immune function of the body, prolongs the progression-free survival time and the overall survival time of patients, and becomes an integral part of the comprehensive treatment of liver cancer. This article reviewd the progress in immunotherapy of HCC in the recent years.
