Objective To investigate the practice and barriers to functional monitoring of autogenous arteriove-nous fistula(AVF)in hemodialysis centers in China.Methods Using convenience sampling,from March to April 2022,a questionnaire was designed based on the literature of AVF functional monitoring,and a total of 527 hemodialysis centers in China were investigated from 3 aspects,including monitoring process and system,monitoring method and cont ent,and monitoring team construction.Results 506 questionnaires were effectively recovered,with a recovery rate of 96.02％.The implementation rate of the 12 entries of AVF functional monitoring ranged from 12.65％～79.84％,with an overall score of(4.97±3.03).The scores had statistically significant differences in 6 admin-istrative regions of China in monitoring process and system,monitoring method and content,and monitoring team building,as well as the total scores(P＜0.001).Barriers were centered on management specification,human resource allocation,professional training,and healthcare costs.Conclusion Hospital administrators should construct and per-fect the relevant management system according to the scale and actual situation of different hemodialysis centers,strengthen the supervision of AVF functional monitoring as well as the personalised management of monitoring pro-tocols,and promote the development of a multidisciplinary cooperation model for vascular access.

Objective To explore the CT imaging features of solid pseudo- papillary tumor of pancreas (SPTP) and the diagnostic value of dual-enhanced scanning in SPTP. Methods CT imaging data of 38 cases with SPTP confirmed by surgical pathology were retrospectively analyzed, among whom there were 20 cases who had underwent dual-phases enhanced scanning and 18 cases who had underwent three-phases enhanced, the CT imaging features of the tumors,enhancement degree and the enhancement peak phase of tumors′solid composition were observed. Results All the tumors were single.Tumor located in the head of pancreas in 14 cases, in the neck in 4 cases,in the body in 8 cases, in the tail in 7 cases, in the body-tail of border in 4 cases,and 1 case in the head-neck of border.The size of tumors was 2.4+7.8 cm;tumor of 12 cases was solid mainly,of 24 cases was solid and cystic,and of 2 cases was cystic mainly. Enhancement was uneven. The solid composition showed mild-to-moderate reinforcement, and the enhanced peak stage was in portal vein phase or delay phase.Conclusions There are some characteristics in CT imaging findings of SPTP, CT imaging combined with clinical characteristics can make an accurate diagnosis before operation. The diagnosis accuracy of SPTP with MSCT through dual- phases enhancement scaning and the three- phases enhancement shows no difference,and the former scaning technology can reduce the received effective radiation dose of patients and improve the efficiency of examining.It is worth of promoting.
