Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of brush cytology and transpapillary biopsy sampling under the guidance of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in distinguishing between benign and malignant biliary strictures.Methods:A total of 470 patients with unknown biliary strictures who underwent ERCP at Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 2013 to January 2022 were enrolled. Brush cytology was performed before biopsy in a single procedure, and with multiple ERCP brush cytologies or biopsy performed for challenging cases. Clinical data, ERCP procedures, pathological results, and follow-up data were collected. With the final diagnosis as the golden standard, the diagnostic efficacy of brush cytology and biopsy sampling were calculated.Results:The final diagnosis showed 251 cases of malignant and 219 cases of benign biliary strictures. All 470 patients received brush cytology, among whom, 37 patients underwent multiple brush cytologies. Additionally, 114 patients were treated with biopsy sampling. The single brush cytology showed a sensitivity of 49.40% (124/251) and a specificity of 99.09% (217/219) for diagnosing malignant biliary strictures. Multiple brush cytologies showed a sensitivity of 68.42% (13/19) and a specificity of 100.00% (18/18). Biopsy sampling showed a sensitivity of 68.18% (45/66) and a specificity of 97.92% (47/48). Among the 114 patients who underwent both brush cytology and biopsy sampling, the results showed that the diagnostic sensitivity of brush cytology combined with biopsy sampling [77.27% (51/66)] and the sensitivity of single biopsy sampling [68.18% (45/66)] were significantly higher than that of single brush cytology [43.94% (29/66), χ 2=13.99, P<0.001; χ 2=6.92, P=0.009]. Conclusion:Combining brush cytology and biopsy forceps during ERCP enhances diagnostic sensitivity in identifying malignant biliary strictures. Biopsy sampling stands out as more sensitive compared with single brush cytology, emphasizing its role in improving diagnostic capabilities.

The aim of this study was to investigate the preventive effect of pancreatic duct stent on acute pancreatitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. A retrospective analysis of the case data of patients who first underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for choledocholithiasis in the Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 for 5 years. According to whether the pancreatic duct stent was indwelled during the operation, they were divided into pancreatic duct stent group (147 cases) and non-indwelling pancreatic duct stent group (192 cases). The incidence of acute pancreatitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was compared between the two groups according to COTTON criteria. Independent sample t test, Pearson Chi-square test (χ 2) and Fisher′s exact test were used to compare groups′ differences. There were 2 cases of acute pancreatitis in the pancreatic duct stent group, all of which improved after 48 hours. There were 22 cases of acute pancreatitis in the non-indwelling pancreatic duct stent group, of which 20 cases improved within 48 hours, and the other 2 cases had severe pancreatitis, which improved and discharged after 30 days of treatment. There was significant difference in the incidence of acute pancreatitis between the pancreatic duct stenting group (1.4%) and the group without placement of pancreatic duct stents (11.5%) (χ2=12.905, P<0.001). In conclusion, Pancreatic duct stent may be an effective method to prevent PEP.

Objective To compare the anesthetic effects,safety and side effects of the mixture with different ratios of etomidate to propofol in painless gastroscopy.Methods Two hundred patients scheduled for painless gastroscopy,95 males and 105 females,aged 18 to 65 years,BMI 18.5-27.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomized into two groups,group A (the ratio of eto-midate and propofol volume 1:1);group B (the ratio of etomidate and propofol volume 1:2).All of the patients were injected with sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg at first.All patients were given the first dose of 0.15-0.2 ml/kg intravenously slowly.Repeated doses of 1-2 ml etomidate-propofol were administered to maintain an adequate level of sedation.HR,SBP,DBP and SpO2were monitored.The dosages of etomidate and propofol were recorded.At the same time the induction time,the operation time,the recovery time and the leaving time were recorded.And low blood pressure,hypoxia saturation,re-spiratory obstruction,muscle fibrillation,nausea and vomiting and other adverse reactions were re-corded.Results There was no significant difference between group A and group B in the induction time,the operation time,the recovery time,the leaving time,perioperative hypotension,periopera-tive hypoxia and injection pain.The dosage of etomidate in the group A was significantly more than in the group B (P<0.01).The dosage of propofol in the group A was significantly less than in the group B(P<0.05).The incidence of myoclonus in group A was notably higher than that in the group B (P<0.01),The incidence of nausea and vomiting in group A was higher than that in the group B (P<0.05).Conclusion Etomidate plus propofol (1:2)had less incidence of myoclonus and nausea and vomiting,and it is more suitable for gastroscopy than 1:1 EP mixture.

Objective:To investigate the effect of resveratrol ( Res ) on endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury in rats.Methods:The seventy-two male SD rats were divided randomly into three groups(n=20):sham operation group ( group S ) , I/R group and Res-treatment group ( group R ) .Focal cerebral I/R model was induced by electrocoagulation of left middle cerebral artery and occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries followed by reperfusion after 30 min.The rats in Res group were treated with Res(50 mg/kg)i.p.7 d before the operation,once a day for 7 d.Neurological deficits were assessed at 24 h post-injury,followed by collecting the brain tissues.Cerebral infarct size was detected by TTC staining,and the water content of brain tissue were measured by wet-dry weight method.The expression of GRP78,p-PERK and CHOP proteins were deter-mined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis.Results:Compared with sham group,the neurological deficit score and the brain water content were significantly increased(P<0.05),cerebral infarct size was enlarged(P<0.05),and the expression of GRP78, p-PERK and CHOP were up-regulated in I/R group(P<0.05).At the corresponding time,compared with I/R group,the neurological deficit score and the brain water content were markedly decreased(P<0.05),cerebral infarct size was smaller(P<0.05),the level of GRP78 was notablely increased(P<0.05),while the expression of p-PERK and CHOP were down-regulated in Res group(P<0.05). Conclusion:Resveratrol plays a protection role in ischemia-reperfusion injury, through inhibiting the endoplasmic reticulum stress in rats.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of scalp nerve block combined with target-controlled infusion in neurosurgical anesthesia.Methods 40 adult patients undergoing frontotemporal craniotomies were randomly divided into the ropivacaine scalp nerve block group (group R) and control group (group C).The patients in group R received scalp nerve block with 0.5% ropivacaine before induction while those in group C didnt.We used propofol and remifentanil in target-controlled infusion and atracurium in constant infusion to maintain anesthesia.The heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),bispectral index (BIS) of different time,usage of propofol and remifentanil,extubation time,visual analogue scale,and complication were recorded.Results Both groups had stable hemodynamics.The usage of remifentanil in group R was less than that of group C (t =11.10,P < 0.01).The difference of extubation time,usage of propofol,and incidence of complications were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).The difference of visual analog scale (VAS) (2 hour and 6 hour after operation) was statistically significant (t =5.02,4.60,P <0.O1).Conclusions Scalp nerve block combined with target-controlled infusion is simple with less usage of remifentanil and better analgesic effect.
