Objectives:To investigate the early related factors for hepatic insufficiency after hemihepatectomy and to construct and validate a nomogram model.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study.There were 207 patients with liver tumor who underwent hemihepatectomy in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2016 to December 2022. Using the random number method, patients were randomly divided into a model group( n=166) and a validation group( n=41) according to an 4∶1 ratio. There were 118 males and 48 females in the modeling group,with an age ( M(IQR)) of 59.0(13.3) years (range: 22.0 to 81.0 years),42 patients in the group with postoperative liver insufficiency and 124 patients in the group without postoperative liver insufficiency. There were 32 males and 9 females in the validation group, with an age of 54.0(19.0) years (range: 25.0 to 81.0 years). The first results of the peripheral blood test of patients within 24 hours after surgery were collected,and the independent related factors for incomplete postoperative liver function were determined by multivariate Logistic regression analysis,and related factors of postoperative incomplete liver function were screened by best subset selection. A nomogram model of the related factors of postoperative hepatic insufficiency after hemihepatectomy was constructed using R software,validated by internal and external validation of the model. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated D-dimer level and decreased antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) activity within 24 hours after surgery were independent related factors for the development of postoperative hepatic insufficiency in hemihepatectomized patients. The results of the best subset selection showed that ALT, D-dimer, and AT-Ⅲ activity levels within 24 hours postoperatively were the most relevant factors for postoperative hepatic insufficiency. The R software was applied to build a nomogram prediction model based on the above three indicators in the model set, and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve of the model showed an area under the curve of 0.803 and the calibration curve showed a U-index of -0.012 for the model( P=0.977). The results of the clinical decision analysis and the clinical impact curve indicated that the model had good clinical utility. The internal validation results of the Bootstrap method suggested that the model had reasonable consistency. The area under the ROC curve of the validation group model was 0.806, suggesting that the model had a good generalization prediction ability. Conclusions:The levels of ALT, D-dimer, and AT-Ⅲ activity within 24 hours after hemihepatectomy are valuable indicators for predicting liver insufficiency after hemihepatectomy. The nomogram model is reliable and can be used as an indicator for close postoperative monitoring.

Objective:To explore the application value of fetal heart ultrasound image segmentation network model based on knowledge distillation technology in the fine segmentation of fetal heart ultrasound image at three-vessel and trachea (3VT) views.Methods:One thousand and three hundred fetals were retrospectively collected from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University College of Medicine from January 2016 to December 2021, the two-dimensional grayscale ultrasound images of fetal heart at 3VT views were analyzed and then divided into training, validation, and test sets. The training and validation sets were used to construct the auxiliary diagnostic network models, and the test set was used to test the reliability of different network models (U-Net, DeepLabv3+ ). The 3VT views were collected and annotated by an experienced doctor as the reference standard. The intersection over union (IoU), pixel accuracy (PA) and Dice coefficient (Dice) were used as the 3 indexes to evaluate the segmentation accuracy, and the diagnostic efficiency of the training model was evaluated. The training model and the most commonly used segmentation models were identified, and the results were compared. A total of 101 images were randomly selected and assigned to junior doctors, AI and junior doctors assisted AI interpretation. Bland-Altman images were drawn to evaluate their consistency with the reference standard, and the results were compared.Results:The training model of knowledge distillation algorithm achieved better results than U-Net, DeepLabv3+ models on all evaluation indexes, and the average IoU, PA and Dice were 68.6%, 81.4% and 81.3%, respectively. Compared with the U-Net model and DeepLabv3+ model, more accurate segmentation boundaries were obtained by the knowledge distillation algorithm training model, and the quantitative evaluation indexes were improved. With the aid of the model, the diagnostic accuracy of junior doctors was improved.Conclusions:The knowledge distillation algorithm training model segmentation method can identify the anatomical structure of the fetal heart in the 3VT view of the fetal heart ultrasound image, and the recognition result is obviously better than other related methods, and can improve the accuracy of image recognition for doctors with low experience.

Objective To evaluate the surgical treatments of refractory sclerosing peritonitis related peritoneal dialysis.Methods Clinical data of 15 patients with refractory sclerosing peritonitis related to peritoneal dialysis treated in the General Surgery Department of the 900th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the People's Liberation Army from June 30,2014 to May 30,2018.Among them,5 cases underwent"open abdomen peritoneal catheter removal+intestinal adhesiolysis+abdominal infection flushing and drainage with catheter",4 cases underwent"laparoscopic peritoneal catheter removal+intestinal adhesiolysis+abdominal infection flushing and drainage with catheter",3 cases underwent"laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter removal+abdominal infection flushing and drainage with catheter",2 cases underwent"open abdomen peritoneal dialysis catheter removal+abdominal infection flushing and drainage with catheter",and 1 case underwent"laparoscopic examination combined with laparotomy exploration and removal of lower abdominal catheter+intestinal adhesiolysis+abdominal infection flushing and drainage with catheter".Age,gender,clinical symptoms,abdominal CT examination,peripheral blood routine,blood biochemistry,blood C-reactive protein(CRP),white blood cells,biochemistry,and aetiology of peritoneal dialysis fluid were collected and followed up,and the therapeutic effect was evaluated.Results 15 patients were transferred to the Department of Surgery after ineffective treatment in the Department of Internal Medicine.Preoperatively(after 5 days of antibiotic treatment)compared to before antibiotic treatment,there were no significant changes in blood WBC,blood NEUT％,CRP,and peritoneal fluid WBC(P＞0.05).Laparoscopic exploration or laparotomy exploration was performed,during which the peritoneal dialysis catheter was removed and the abdominal infection focus was cleared.A pelvic cavity washout drainage tube was left in place postoperatively.Fourteen patients had a good recovery after surgery,with effective control of peritonitis symptoms and no complications such as intestinal obstruction or enterocutaneous fistula.After the removal of the peritoneal dialysis catheter,all patients switched to hemodialysis.A comparison of inflammatory markers before and after surgery showed a significant decrease after surgery.Three days postoperatively compared to before surgery(after 5 days of antibiotic treatment),there were no significant changes in blood WBC,blood NEUT％,CRP,and peritoneal fluid WBC(P＞0.05).Seven days postoperatively compared to before surgery(after 5 days of antibiotic treatment),there was a significant decrease in blood WBC[(7.43±2.65)× 109/L VS(10.17±5.24)× 109/L],blood NEUT％[(88.23±9.02)％VS(85.07±11.57)％],and CRP[(152.88±113.01)mg/L VS(114.49±92.97)mg/L](P＜0.05);the peritoneal fluid WBC at 7 days postoperatively showed no significant change compared to before surgery(after 5 days of antibiotic treatment)(P＞0.05).The cases were followed up for at least 22 months,and 13 patients did not experience peritonitis or intestinal obstruction again.One patient died 39 days after surgery due to multiple organ failure,and one patient died from other causes after a 2-year follow-up.Conclusion For refractory sclerosing peritonitis related peritoneal dialysis that is ineffective in medical conservative treatment,On the basis of reasonable and effective antibiotics to control infection,surgical intervention should be actively carried out and surgical methods such as surgery should be used to control the progress of peritonitis,reduce mortality and improve the cure rate.

Objective To explore the value of non-contrast MRI for diagnosing cesarean scar pregnancy(CSP)developed placental implantation(PI)in early pregnancy.Methods Totally 79 pregnant women with CSP in early pregnancy were retrospectively enrolled.According to postoperative pathology,PI was diagnosed when villi tissue or trophoblast cells were found in the scar muscle(PI group,n=23),while single CSP was diagnosed when no villi nor trophoblast cells were detected in the scar muscle(CSP group,n=56).Preoperative non-contrast pelvic MRI parameters were compared between groups,and the efficacy of MRI quantitative parameters for diagnosing CSP developed PI in early pregnancy was evaluated.Results Compared with those in CSP group,the largest area of the pregnancy sac,the length of the pregnancy sac close to the scar were both larger,the thickness of the thinnest scar was smaller,and the proportion of empty blood vessels shadow around the scar was higher in PI group(all P＜0.01).The sensitivity of the largest area of the pregnancy sac,the length of the pregnancy sac close to the scar and the thickness of the thinnest scar for diagnosing CSP developed PI was 78.26％,82.61％and 91.07％,respectively,and the specificity was 67.86％,66.07％and 69.57％,respectively,with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.76,0.79 and 0.82,respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of empty blood vessels shadow around the scar for diagnosing CSP developed PI was 78.26％(18/23),85.71％(48/56)and 83.54％(66/79),respectively.Conclusion Non-contrast MRI had important clinical value for diagnosing CSP developed PI in early pregnancy.

Objective:To document any effect of a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) on the regulation of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue, NP cell apoptosis and matrix degradation using rats with intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD).Methods:Eighteen Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group, an IDD model group (the model group), and a PEMF group. IDD was induced in both the model and PEMF groups. Right after the modeling, the PEMF group received 14 days of PEMF treatment, while the control group and model group were given no special treatment. Meanwhile, the primary rat nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) were cultured using Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle Medium at 37℃ and 5% CO 2. When the fusion rate reached 90% after passage, the NPCs were divided into a control group, a TNF-α model group (referred to as model group) and TNF-α + PEMF group (referred to as PEMF group) and treated accordingly. Eight weeks after the modeling, safranin-o/fast green staining was used to assess any pathological morphology changes. The expression of NPY, neuropeptide Y receptor Y2 (NPY2R), bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), collagen type II (Col-II) and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3) in the intervertebral disc and the cultivated nucleus pulposus cells of the 3 groups were determined. Results:The intervertebral disc cells in the model group were ruptured and folded, with significantly increased polysaccharide and protein components, and significantly increased bone fibers. In the PEMF group the cell boundaries were clearer, with less fibrin fracture and increased cartilage tissue. NPY was expressed in the fibrous annulus and the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc in the model group. The average expression levels of NPY and NPY2R were significantly higher than in the control group and the model group. Compared with the control group, there was a significant increase in the level of Bax and a significant decrease in the expression of Bcl-2 in the model group, and there was a significant decrease in the level of Bax in the PEMF group. Compared with the control group, there was a significant decrease in the Col-II level but a significant increase in the MMP3 protein expression in the model group. The average Col-II mRNA expression was significantly higher in the PEMF group compared with the model group, but the average MMP3 protein expression was significantly less. Those results are consistent with observations in vivo.Conclusion:PEMF may reverse the imbalance of ECM metabolism and delay IDD degeneration by up-regulating the expression of NPY and Bcl-2, as well as blocking the Bax/Bcl-2 signaling pathway to inhibit apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD), a common respiratory disease in premature infants, leads to poor long-term prognosis.The crosstalk between the gut and lung which can be mediated by microbiota is known as the gut-lung axis.Recently, an increasing amount of evidence has indicated that the gut microbiota is closely related to the pathogenesis of many respiratory diseases.The gut-lung axis affects the occurrence and development of BPD through microbiota translocation and regulation of immune pathways.At present, the relationship between the gut-lung axis and BPD is still in the research stage and exploring the potential association may help to search early markers and new therapies for BPD.In order to provide insights into preventing and treating BPD, this review describes the relationship between the gut-lung axis and BPD.

Objective:To compare the biomechanical properties of different circular external fixators for the fracture site of oblique long bone fractures.Methods:15 polyethylene (PE) plastic rods with the same batch were selected to make the model of oblique fractures in the middle of long bones. According to the connection between PE rods and external fixators, the PE rods were randomly divided into: the group that was simply used kirschner wires (group kirschner wires), the group that was simply used olive wires (group olive wires), the group that was simply inserted half pins (group half pins), the group that was inserted single cortical fixed half pins at either side of the fracture site after being fixed by the tensioned olive wires (group olive wires+ half pin), the group that was inserted tensioned trans-fracture olive wires after being fixed by the tensioned olive wires (group olive wires+ olive wires). The axial compression tests were carried out, and the interfragmentary displacements under axial loads of 200 N, 400 N, 600 N and 800 N were measured and the axial stiffness was calculated. Then, the torsional tests were carried out, and the interfragmentary torsional angles were measured under torsional loads of 4 N·m, 7 N·m and 10 N·m, and the torsional stiffness was calculated.Results:With the increase of axial load from 200 N to 800 N, the axial interfragmentary displacement in each group gradually increased. The interfragmentary axial displacement of each group in ascending order was: group olive wires+ olive wires, group olive wires+ half pins, group half pins, group olive wires, group kirschner wires. The axial stiffness of each configuration under 800 N axial load in descending order was: group olive wires+ olive wires [863.93 (824.32, 875.87) N/mm], group olive wires+ half pins [119.92 (113.16, 123.58) N/mm], group half pins [81.92(79.42, 82.40) N/mm], group olive wires [76.83 (72.45,79.47) N/mm], group kirschner wires [70.80 (67.49, 71.59) N/mm]. The pairwise comparisons of the axial stiffness data of each configuration had statistical significance (all P <0.05). With the increase of the torque load from 4 N·m to 10 N·m, the interfragmentary rotational angle in each configuration gradually increased. The interfragmentary torsion angle of each group in ascending order was: group half pins, group olive wires+ olive wires, group olive wires+ half pins, group olive wires, group kirschner wires. The torsional rigidity of each configuration under 10 N·m torsional load in descending order was: group half pins [1.80 (1.63, 1.85) N·m/°], group olive wires+ olive wires [1.05 (1.02, 1.07) N·m/°], group olive wires+ half pins [0.99 (0.98, 1.03) N·m/°], group olive wires [0.81 (0.78, 0.82) N·m/°], group kirschner wires [0.75 (0.74, 0.76) N·m/°]. The pairwise comparisons of the torsional rigidity data of each configuration had statistical significance (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The axial stiffness and torsional stiffness of circular external fixators can be increased by using tensioned olive wires or half pins at the fracture site. Due to the insufficient support between oblique fracture site, when the load is applied, the axial displacement and torsion angle of the fracture site will still be fairly large after being fixed the fracture site with half pins. Treating with tensioned trans-fracture olive wires after being fixed by the tensioned olive wires at either side of the fracture site can effectively control the interfragmentary shear and displacement, thus providing an ideal mechanical environment for fracture healing.

Objective:To analyze the effect on the expressions of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2) and NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 enzyme (NQO1) in A549 cells exposed to hyperoxia and interfered by small interfering RNA, and to investigate the role of Nrf2 and NQO1 in hyperoxia-induced lung injury as well as their relationship with apoptosis.Methods:A549 cells were gained by serial sub cultivation in vitro and then randomly divided into 4 groups: the air group without interference ( group Ⅰ), the hyperoxia group without interference (group Ⅱ), the air group transfected with Nrf2 siRNA (group Ⅲ), and the hyperoxia group transfected with Nrf2 siRNA (group Ⅳ). The hyperoxia groups (Ⅱ, Ⅳ group) were continuously exposed to an atmosphere containing a high concentration of oxygen (950 mL/L O 2, 50 mL/L CO 2), while the air groups (group Ⅰ, Ⅲ) were still placed in the incubator with 50 mL/L CO 2. In the pre-experiment, cells were transduced with a mixture of siRNA-1, siRNA-2, and siRNA-3. Then the siRNA with the highest efficiency for repressing Nrf2 expression was used for subsequent experiments. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Nrf2 and NQO1 in the 4 groups were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western blot.The distribution of Nrf2, Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1) and antioxidant response element(ARE) proteins in A549 cells after interference with Nrf2 was analyzed by immunofluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscope, and the cell apoptosis of the 4 groups were observed. Results:(1) Nrf2 siRNA significantly down-regulated the mRNA expression of Nrf2 in the groups siRNA-1, siRNA-2 and siRNA-3, and the inhibition efficiency of group siRNA-1 was the highest (80.57%). (2) The re-lative mRNA expression levels of Nrf2 and NQO1 in the group Ⅱ were 4.553±0.498 and 5.866±0.582, respectively.The mRNA and protein expression of Nrf2 and NQO1 and the cell apoptosis rate [(21.67±0.75)%]in the hype-roxia group were significantly higher than those in the group Ⅰ (all P<0.01). (3) The relative mRNA expression levels of Nrf2 and NQO1 in the group Ⅳ were 0.937±0.057 and 0.789±0.058, respectively.Compared with the group Ⅱ, the mRNA and protein expression of Nrf2 and NQO1 in the group Ⅳ were significantly decreased, while the cell apoptosis rate [(35.83±0.42)%]was significantly increased (all P<0.01). Conclusions:The abnormal expression of Nrf2 and NQO1 in A549 cells induced by hyperoxia and siRNA interference suggests that Nrf2 and NQO1 are involved in the pathogenesis of hyperoxia induced lung injury.Nrf2 and NQO1 are possibly protective factors in the hyperoxia induced lung injury and apoptosis.
