Objective:To evaluate clinical efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for central neurocytoma (CN) after surgical resection.Methods:Clinical data of 136 CN patients admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital and Xuanwu Hospital from January 2001 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Preliminary interventions consisted of craniotomy (gross total resection, subtotal resection and partial resection, the latter two belonging to incomplete resection) and postoperative radiotherapy. Three-dimensional conformal or intensity-modulated radiotherapy was adopted, with a median radiotherapy dose of 54 Gy. Post-recurrence treatment included salvage surgery and radiotherapy. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate analysis was performed by log-rank test to evaluate the effect of each prognostic factor on OS and PFS. The effects of multiple prognostic factors on PFS and OS were assessed by Cox regression model.Results:The median age was 28 years (range: 6-66 years). The median follow-up was 94.5 months (12-237 months). Among all patients, 79 cases underwent total resection, and 68 of them received adjuvant radiotherapy. Thirty-eight patients underwent subtotal resection, and 37 of them were treated with adjuvant radiotherapy. Sixteen patients received partial resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. Three cases received biopsy and postoperative radiotherapy. Among all patients, 3 cases died, including 2 from tumor recurrence and 1 from postoperative complication. Eight patients had recurrences during follow-up. Among them, 7 patients had recurrences at the primary site,1 had tumor dissemination to the spinal cord. The 5- and 10-year OS rates were 98.5% and 96.8%, and the 5- and 10-year PFS rates were 95.3% and 91.6% for the in the entire cohort. In the gross total resection without radiotherapy group, the 5- and 10-year PFS rates were 90.9% and 90.9%, and 96.6% and 96.6% in the gross total resection + radiotherapy group ( P=0.338). The 5- and 10-year OS rates were 100% and 100% in the gross total resection without radiotherapy group, and 98.5% and 98.5% in the gross total resection + radiotherapy group ( P=0.693). The 10-year PFS rates between the gross total resection±radiotherapy group and the incomplete resection+radiotherapy group was 95.8% vs. 90.3% ( P=0.368), and the 10-year OS rate was 98.6% vs. 94.7% ( P=0.436). Multivariate analysis showed that tumor site, degree of surgical resection, adjuvant radiotherapy and age exerted no significant effects on PFS and OS. A total of 81 patients had late neurotoxicities, including 69 cases at grade 1, 9 cases at grade 2, and 3 cases at grade 3. And 64.2% (52/81 cases) of patients suffered from short-term memory impairment. Conclusions:Gross total resection alone yields high efficacy for CN. Postoperative radiotherapy is not required. Incomplete resection combined with postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy can achieve equivalent clinical efficacy to gross total resection.

Objective:To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of ultra-rapid lispro insulin (URLi) and humalog lispro (HL) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:This was an international multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled study. From May 2019 to January 2021, a total of 481 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, who had been using insulin for at least 90 days and had poor glycemic control, were included. These patients were recruited from 34 research centers in China, including Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Affiliated Sixth People′s Hospital. They were assigned to either the URLi group (319 patients) or the HL group (162 patients) using stratified blocked randomization. The primary endpoint was the change in hemoglobin A 1c (HbA 1c) relative to baseline after 26 weeks of treatment. Secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients who achieved HbA 1c<7.0% and ≤6.5% after 26 weeks of treatment, 1-h postprandial glucose (1hPG) or 2-h postprandial glucose (2hPG) excursions during a mixed meal tolerance test at week 26, as well as safety parameters. Continuous variables were compared using mixed model repeated measures or analysis of covariance, and categorical variables were compared using logistic regression or Fisher′s exact test. Results:Data based on the Chinese subgroup showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the URLi and HL groups in terms of male percentage [56.1% (179/319) vs. 56.2% (91/162); P=0.990], age [(59.5±8.4) vs. (59.6±9.3) years; P=0.839] and other baseline characteristics. Regarding the change in HbA 1c relative to baseline, the URLi group was non-inferior to the HL group (-0.59%±0.05% vs. -0.66%±0.06%; P=0.312). There were no statistically significant differences between the URLi and HL groups in proportion of patients who achieved HbA 1c<7.0% [47.3% (138/292) vs. 45.2% (70/155); P=0.907] and≤6.5% [27.7% (81/292) vs. 27.7% (43/155); P=0.816]. The excursions in 1hPG [(6.20±0.21) vs. (6.90±0.25) mmol/L; P=0.001] and 2hPG [(8.10±0.27) vs. (9.30±0.31) mmol/L; P<0.001] were lower in the URLi group than the HL group, with statistically significant differences. In terms of safety, there were no statistically significant differences in the percentage of subjects who reported treatment-emergent adverse events between the URLi and HL groups [49.8% (159/319) vs. 50.0% (81/162); P=1.000]. The event rate of nocturnal hypoglycemia was lower in the URLi group than the HL group, with statistically significant differences [(0.53±0.10) vs. (0.89±0.16) events per patient -year; P=0.040]. Conclusions:With good glycemic control, URLi showed non-inferiority for HbA 1c improvement versus HL and was superior to HL for postprandial glucose excursion control. Meanwhile the rate and incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia were lower in the URLi group than the HL group.

Objective:To summarise the effect of free perforator flap of radial collateral artery on reconstruction of first web contracture after hand injury.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted based on the clinical data of patients with first web contracture after hand injury in the Department of Hand and Foot Surgery and Rehabilitation, Guangdong Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital from November 2019 to June 2022. Ten patients, 8 males and 2 females aged between 27 and 51 years old with an average of 40.5 years old were included. There were 6 left hands and 4 right hands. Width and the included angle of first web were measured before surgery. Four hands were classified as severe first web contracture, and the rest of 6 hands had moderate first web contracture. After release scars of the first web, the areas of wound were 5.5 cm × 2.0 cm - 10.5 cm × 3.0 cm. The flaps sized were 6.0 cm×2.5 cm - 11.0 cm × 3.5 cm. All of flaps carried the posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm. Donor sites were closed directly. All patients were included in postoperative follow-up regularly through outpatient clinic or via WeChat reviews. The colour, texture, process in change of the transferred flaps, donor and recipient sites healing and complications were observed.Results:All 10 flaps survived and the wound healed by first intention. The patients received 7 to 15 months (10.5 months in average) of postoperative follow-up. The flaps were not bulky, texture and colour were satisfactory and without pigmentation. Protective sensations restored in 6 patients. At the last follow-up, average included angle of the first webs was 47.14°±1.68°, in comparison with 35.43°±3.60° before surgery. The average width of first webs was 5.34 cm±0.52 cm, in comparison with 3.17 cm±0.75 cm before surgery, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). Eight hands were rated excellent, and 2 were good. There were only linear scars left at the donor sites, without sign of radial nerve injury. Conclusion:The free perforator flap of radial collateral artery is a safe and effective method for repair of first web contracture after hand injury.

Objective:To explore the preventive value of "integrated prevention strategy" for nipple and areola ischemia after single-port endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 72 patients with breast cancer who received single-port endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from July 2019 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, they were all female. The follow-up period was up to July 2022. According to the perioperative treatment methods, the patients were divided into observation group ( n=40) and control group ( n=32). The patients in the observation group who adopted the "integrated prevention strategy" scheme, and patients in the control group who adopted the conventional treatment scheme. The incidence of postoperative nipple and areola ischemic was compared between the two groups, and the postoperative cosmetic effect, quality of life and satisfaction of patients were evaluated. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between groups; the Chi-square test was used to compare the data groups. Results:The postoperative drainage volume in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(632.40±226.37) mL vs (774.91±239.85) mL], and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.013). Two weeks after operation, there was 1 case of nipple and areola ischemia in the observation group, and 7 cases in the control group, the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( P=0.019). Twelve months after operation, the score of breast satisfaction (83.93±11.64 vs 67.28±11.52), chest satisfaction (89.63±8.06 vs 83.03±9.49) and psychosocial well-being (89.43±12.42 vs 78.88±10.40) in the observation group were better than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:"Integrated prevention strategy" can effectively prevent the occurrence of nipple and areola ischemic after single-port endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy and improve patient satisfaction, which has certain promotion value.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) based on linear accelerator for small volume brain metastases.Methods:A total of 21 patients with small volume brain metastases who received FSRT from August 2020 to June 2022 were enrolled as subjects, including 45 lesions. Small-volume brain metastases were defined as ≤3 cm in diameter and ≤6 cm 3 in volume, and the dose/fractionation scheme was 27-30 Gy/3 F or 30-40 Gy/5 F. Three months after radiotherpy, the efficacy of FSRT in small brain metastases and the incidence of radiation brain injury were evaluated, and the incidence of radiation brain injury in subgroup analysis was performed according to the diameter, volume, dose/fractionation scheme, biological effective dose (BED) 10, and location of lesions. Results:Twenty-four lesions (53.33%, 24/45) were evaluated as complete response, another 13 lesions (28.89%, 13/45) were evaluated as partial response, and in the remaining 8 lesions (17.78%, 8/45) were evaluated as stable disease. The local control rate was 100% (45/45), the objective remission rate was 82.22% (37/45), and the intracranial distant progression rate was 23.81% (5/21). During the treatment and follow-up, there were 7 lesions (15.56%, 7/45) of radiation-induced brain injury, and the incidence of symptomatic radiation-induced brain injury was 11.11% (5/45). Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of radiation brain injury in the group with a lesion diameter of 2-3 cm was higher than that with a lesion diameter of <2 cm group, with a statistically significant difference [80.00% (4/5) vs. 7.50% (3/40), χ2=12.69, P<0.001]; the incidence rate of radiation brain injury in the group with lesion volume of 4-6 cm 3 was higher than that with lesion volume of <4 cm 3 group, with a statistically significant difference [57.14% (4/7) vs. 7.89% (3/38), χ2=7.49, P=0.006]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of radiation brain injury between the dose/fractionation scheme of lesions 27-30 Gy/3 F and 30-40 Gy/5 F [9.52% (2/21) vs. 20.83% (5/24), χ2=0.40, P=0.527]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of radiation brain injury between the BED 10<60 Gy and ≥60 Gy [28.57% (2/7) vs. 13.16% (5/38), χ2=0.22, P=0.641]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of radiation brain injury between the lesions in the same lobe and the single or multiple lesions in different lobes [28.57% (4/14) vs. 9.68% (3/31), χ2=1.38, P=0.240) . Conclusion:FSRT based on linear accelerator is effective for small volume brain metastases. Brain metastases with the diameter <2 cm or volume <4 cm 3 are associated with a lower incidence of radiation brain injury than that of lesions with the diameter of 2-3 cm or volume of 4-6 cm 3.

Objective:To investigate the influences of age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) on prognosis of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 242 gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in 19 hospitals of the Chinese Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery Study Group-04 study, including 54 patients in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, 32 patients in the First Hospital of Putian City, 32 patients in Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, 31 patients in Zhangzhou Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, 17 patients in Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, 11 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University, 8 patients in Qinghai University Affiliated Hospital, 8 patients in Meizhou People′s Hospital, 7 patients in Fujian Provincial Hospital, 6 patients in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University, 6 patients in Longyan First Hospital, 5 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, 5 patients in the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University, 4 patients in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 4 patients in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, 4 patients in Beijing University Cancer Hospital, 3 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, 3 patients in Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital, 2 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University, from September 2016 to October 2017 were collected. There were 193 males and 49 females, aged 62(range, 23?74)years. Observation indicators: (1) age distribution, comorbidities and ACCI status of patients; (2) the grouping of ACCI and comparison of clinicopathological characteristics of patients in each group; (3) incidence of postoperative early complications and analysis of factors affecting postoperative early complications; (4) follow-up; (5) analysis of factors affecting the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of patients. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect postoperative survival of patients up to December 2020. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the nonparametric rank sum test. The X-Tile software (version 3.6.1) was used to analyze the best ACCI grouping threshold. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. The Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. The Logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting postoperative early complications. The COX proportional hazard model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses of factors affecting the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of patients. Multivariate analysis used stepwise regression to include variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis and variables clinically closely related to prognosis. Results:(1) Age distribution, comor-bidities and ACCI status of patients. Of the 242 patients, there were 28 cases with age <50 years, 68 cases with age of 50 to 59 years, 113 cases with age of 60 to 69 years, 33 cases with age of 70 to 79 years. There was 1 patient combined with mild liver disease, 1 patient combined with diabetes of end-organ damage, 2 patients combined with peripheral vascular diseases, 2 patients combined with peptic ulcer, 6 patients combined with congestive heart failure, 8 patients combined with chronic pulmonary diseases, 9 patients with diabetes without end-organ damage. The ACCI of 242 patients was 2 (range, 0-4). (2) The grouping of ACCI and comparison of clinicopathological characteristics of patients in each group. Results of X-Tile software analysis showed that ACCI=3 was the best grouping threshold. Of the 242 patients, 194 cases with ACCI <3 were set as the low ACCI group and 48 cases with ACCI ≥3 were set as the high ACCI group, respectively. Age, body mass index, cases with preoperative comorbidities, cases of American Society of Anesthesiologists classification as stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲ, tumor diameter, cases with tumor histological type as signet ring cell or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and cases with tumor type as moderately or well differentiated adenocarcinoma, cases with tumor pathological T staging as stage T1, stage T2, stage T3, stage T4, chemotherapy cycles were (58±9)years, (22.6±2.9)kg/m 2, 31, 106, 85, 3, (4.0±1.9)cm, 104, 90, 16, 29, 72, 77, 6(4,6) in the low ACCI group, versus (70±4) years, (21.7±2.7)kg/m 2, 23, 14, 33, 1, (5.4±3.1)cm, 36, 12, 3, 4, 13, 28, 4(2,5) in the high ACCI group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=-14.37, 1.98, χ2=22.64, Z=-3.11, t=-2.91, χ2=7.22, Z=-2.21, -3.61, P<0.05). (3) Incidence of postoperative early complications and analysis of factors affecting postoperative early complications. Of the 242 patients, 33 cases had postoperative early complications, including 20 cases with local complications and 16 cases with systemic complica-tions. Some patients had multiple complications at the same time. Of the 20 patients with local complications, 12 cases had abdominal infection, 7 cases had anastomotic leakage, 2 cases had incision infection, 2 cases had abdominal hemorrhage, 2 cases had anastomotic hemorrhage and 1 case had lymphatic leakage. Of the 16 patients with systemic complications, 11 cases had pulmonary infection, 2 cases had arrhythmias, 2 cases had sepsis, 1 case had liver failure, 1 case had renal failure, 1 case had pulmonary embolism, 1 case had deep vein thrombosis, 1 case had urinary infection and 1 case had urine retention. Of the 33 cases with postoperative early complications, there were 3 cases with grade Ⅰ complications, 22 cases with grade Ⅱ complications, 5 cases with grade Ⅲa complications, 2 cases with grade Ⅲb complications and 1 case with grade Ⅳ complica-tions of Clavien-Dindo classification. Cases with postoperative early complications, cases with local complications, cases with systemic complications were 22, 13, 9 in the low ACCI group, versus 11, 7, 7 in the high ACCI group, respectively. There were significant differences in cases with postoperative early complications and cases with systemic complications between the two groups ( χ2=4.38, 4.66, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in cases with local complications between the two groups ( χ2=2.20, P>0.05). Results of Logistic regression analysis showed that ACCI was a related factor for postoperative early complications of gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy [ odds ratio=2.32, 95% confidence interval ( CI) as 1.04-5.21, P<0.05]. (4) Follow-up. All the 242 patients were followed up for 36(range,1?46)months. During the follow-up, 53 patients died and 13 patients survived with tumor. The 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of the 242 patients was 73.5%. The follow-up time, cases died and cases survived with tumor during follow-up, the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate were 36(range, 2-46)months, 29, 10, 80.0% for the low ACCI group, versus 35(range, 1-42)months, 24, 3, 47.4% for the high ACCI group. There was a significant difference in the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate between the two groups ( χ2=30.49, P<0.05). (5) Analysis of factors affecting the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of patients. Results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative comorbidities, ACCI, tumor diameter, histological type, vascular invasion, lymphatic invasion, neural invasion, tumor pathological TNM staging, postoperative early complications were related factors for postoperative 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy [ hazard ratio ( HR)=2.52, 3.64, 2.62, 0.47, 2.87, 1.90, 1.86, 21.77, 1.97, 95% CI as 1.52-4.17, 2.22-5.95, 1.54-4.46, 0.27-0.80, 1.76-4.70, 1.15-3.12, 1.10-3.14, 3.01-157.52, 1.11-3.50, P<0.05]. Results of multivariate analysis showed that ACCI, tumor pathological TNM staging, adjuvant chemotherapy were indepen-dent influencing factors for postoperative 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy ( HR=3.65, 11.00, 40.66, 0.39, 95% CI as 2.21-6.02, 1.40-86.73, 5.41-305.69, 0.22-0.68, P<0.05). Conclusions:ACCI is a related factor for post-operative early complications of gastric cancer patients undergoing laparos-copic radical gastrectomy. ACCI, tumor pathological TNM staging, adjuvant chemotherapy are indepen-dent influencing factors for postoperative 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

Objective:To discussed the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and the use of laparoscopic surgery in management of patients with choledochal cyst with extrahepatic bile duct anomaly.Methods:Of 330 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic choledochectomy at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from January 2010 to September 2018, there were 23 patients with extrahepatic bile duct anomaly. The data of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. There were 4 males and 19 females, with an average age of 3.2 (range 0.3~9.0) years. According to whether the extrahepatic bile duct anomaly was diagnosed by preoperative MRCP, these patients were divided into the preoperative MRCP diagnosis group and the preoperative MRCP undiagnosed group. The impact of MRCP in diagnosing bile duct anomaly to prevent bile duct injury, on operation time, hospital stay and the types of extrahepatic bile duct anomaly on outcomes of laparoscopic treatment were analyzed.Results:All the 23 patients with choledochal cysts complicated by extrahepatic bile duct anomaly were confirmed at surgery. The incidence of extrahepatic bile duct anomaly was 6.97% (23/330). There were 47.8% of type II AHD (11/23); 36.8% of type III AHD (7/23); 4.3% of type IV AHD (1/23); 17.4% (4/23) of the type with communication with accessory bile duct (CABD). The preoperative MRCP diagnosis group consisted of 14 patients, while the preoperative MRCP non-diagnosis group consisted of 9 patients, including 2 patients without MRCP. The diagnostic rate of MRCP in preoperative diagnosis of extrahepatic bile duct anomaly was 66.7%(14/21). The preoperative MRCP undiagnosed group, when compared with the preoperatives MRCP undiagnosed group, had a significantly higher bile duct injury rate [preoperative MRCP diagnosis group 7.1%(1/14), preoperative MRCP non-diagnosis group 55.6%(5/9)], and a significantly longer operation time [preoperative MRCP diagnosis group(232.6±10.0) min, preoperative MRCP undiagnosed group (278.9±22.45)min], (all P<0.05). Laparoscopic surgery was completed in 22 of 23 patients. One patient was converted to open surgery. AHD reconstruction was needed in 11 patients with type II AHD and 1 patient with type IV AHD. Seven patients with type III AHD did not require any surgical intervention for the anomaly. The 4 patients with CABD underwent simple ligation. Postoperative chyloperitoneum developed in 1 patient, who successfully responded to conservative treatment. Postoperative recovery was uneventful in the remaining patients. At a median follow-up of 2 years (range 1 to 5 years), no further complications, including intrahepatic bile duct dilatation and hepatic atrophy were detected. Conclusions:MRCP was effective in preoperative diagnosis of choledochal cysts with extrahepatic bile duct anomaly. It helped to decrease intraoperation injuries to bile duct anomalies. MRCP was also useful in classifying patients with extrahepatic bile duct anomaly to better preoperatively planning of surgical treatment strategies. Laparoscopic surgery could be completed in the majority of these patients with good postoperative results.

Objective Both flee triiodothyronine (FT3) level and Glasgow Coma scale (GCS) scores have been separately described as prognostic predictors for mortality in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH).This study is conducted to investigate the relationship and prognostic impact of low-T3 syndrome and GCS in HICH patients.Methods Two hundred and thirty patients with HICH,admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to January 2016,were chosen and performed thyroid hormone levels examination (FT3,FT4 and thyroid stimulating hormone [TSH] 3).According to the thyroid hormone results,these patients were divided into low T3 group I (FT3<3.1 pmol/L,normal TSH level) and normal thyroid function group (normal FT3,FT4 and TSH levels).According to best cut-off levels defined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve,these patients were divided into low GCS scores group (GCS<7.5) and high GCS scores group (GCS>7.5),and low T3 group Ⅱ (FT3<2.85 pmol/L) and high T3 group (FT3>2.85 pmol/L).Telephone follow-up was performed every 6 months,and using death or re-bleeding during follow-up period as end point of the event,prognostic values of FT3 level and GCS scores defined by ROC curve in mortality and re-bleeding rote were recorded;survival rate of these patients were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves and compared between each two groups;multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the relations of FT3 level and GCS scores with mortality and re-bleeding rate.Results As compared with normal thyroid function group,low T3 group Ⅰ had significantly higher re-bleeding rate,percentage of patients with blood loss>30 mL,and rate of breaking into the ventricles,and statistically lower GCS scores at admission and FT3 level (P<0.05);the mean age in patients of low T3 group Ⅰ was significantly elder than that in patients of normal thyroid function group (P<0.05).ROC results indicated that the sensitivity and specificity of GCS scores in predicting mortality and re-bleeding rate were 63% and 73%,and those of FT3 level were 45% and 73%.Kaplan-Meier curves showed that both low GCS group and low T3 group Ⅱ had significantly increased mortality and re-bleeding rate as compared with high GCS group and high T3 group (P<0.05).Unified prediction results indicated that patients from low T3 and low GCS group had significantly higher mortality and re-bleeding rate as compared with patients from low T3 and high GCS group,high T3 and low GCS group,and high T3 and high GCS group (P<0.05).Conclusion Low T3 syndrome is common in patients with HICH;FT3 level and GCS scores appear to be important predictors for mortality and recurrence in patients with HICH.

Objective To explore the diagnosis value of dual energy CT in severity analysis of acute pancreatitis.Methods Pancreas CT perfusion images of 60 patients were formatted using the method of Siemens dual energy CT.According to the severity of the acute pancreatitis,60 patients were divided into 3 groups:normal control (NC)group,mild acute pancreatitis (MAP)group and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP)group.Every group had 20 patients.Blood flow(BF),blood volume(BV),permeability of capillary surface (PS)and mean transit time(MTT)were calculated by Siemens MMWP workstation post process software.The meaning of these CT perfusion parameters for severity of acute pancreatitis was analyzed.Results Compared to the NC group,BF and BV in MAP,SAP group were reduced significantly (P <0.01).BF and BV in MAP group were higher than those in SAP group (P <0.01).PS in MAP,SAP group were higher than that in NC.MTT had no difference in three groups(P >0.05).We also found in ≥45 years old patients,MTT in both MAP and SAP groups were higher than NC group(P <0.05).Conclusion (1)BF and BV are useful in diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and analysis of severity of it.(2)PS is useful in diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.(3)MTT is useful in diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in elderly patients (≥45 years old).
