Objective To establish and verify nomogram prediction model with portal vein thrombosis in patients with cirrhosis,so as to evaluate its clinical application value.Methods The clinical data of 464 patients with cirrhosis with or without PVT admitted by our hospital from January 2015 to October 2022 were collected,univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen the independent risk factors for PVT in patients with liver cirrhosis,and a nomogram prediction model was established,and the nomogram pre-diction model was verified for discrimination,calibration and clinical validity.Results Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression a-nalysis showed that the history of splenectomy,portal vein diameter,D-dimer and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio(CAR)were independent risk factors for cirrhosis with portal vein thrombosis(P＜0.05),the above independent risk factors were incorporated and a nomogram prediction model was successfully established.The nomogram was verified in both the modeling and validation populations:the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve were 0.846(95％CI:0.803-0.888)and 0.815(95％CI:0.743-0.887),respectively,and the prediction model had good discrimination.The P-values in Hosmer-Lemeshow test were 0.783 and 0.453,respectively,and the model fitted well.The calibration chart showed that the nomogram model showed good calibration for the pre-diction probability of liver cirrhosis with PVT.Decision curve analysis(DCA)showed that the nomogram had good application value.Conclusion By establishing and validating a simple and practical nomogram prediction model for the risk of PVT in patients with cirrho-sis,it can help clinicians identify and intervene high-risk patients early.

Objective To study the diagnostic efficacy of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging(ME-NBI)in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer and intraepithelial neoplasia,and their manifestations under ME-NBI.Methods In this retrospective research,we enrolled 131 cases of early gastric cancer and intraepithelial neoplasia.Then analyze the ME-NBI manifestations of lesions,compare the diagnostic efficacy of ME-NBI and white light endoscopy(WLI)+biopsy methods in early gastric cancer and intraepithelial neoplasia and study the ME-NBI manifestations of different degrees of lesions.Results The diagnostic accuracy of ME-NBI for diagnosing early gastric cancer,high grade intraepithelial neoplasia(HGIN)and low grade intraepithelial neoplasia(LGIN)was 77.96%,77.96%and 77.96%,respectively.The diagnostic accuracy of WLI+biopsy for above lesions was 60.53%,58.47%and 69.70%,respectively.There was no statistically significant difference in the accuracy of two diagnostic methods for LGIN(P>0.05),while there was a statistically significant difference in the accuracy of two diagnostic methods for early gastric cancer and HGIN(P<0.05).In LGIN,the highest rate of cerebral gyrus glandular duct emergence was 60.46%.The incidence of papillary and villous ducts is highest in HGIN and early gastric cancer,with rates of 57.14%and 52.00%,respectively.Conclusion ME-NBI has more diagnostic efficiency in early gastric cancer than WLI+biopsy.The demarcation line has better sensitivity in differentiated early gastric cancer and intraepithelial neoplasia.Micro-surface tube like villous,papillary structures has higher occurrence rates in early gastric cancer.The cerebral gyrus microglandular duct appeares significantly higher in LGIN than other groups.

Objective:To use an isokinetic test to objectively evaluate the recovery of muscle strength and endurance after treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture using a tunnel beneath paratenon.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 23 patients who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, The Forth Medical Center, General Hospital of Chinese PLA by a tunnel beneath paratenon for acute Achilles tendon rupture from January 2017 to January 2018. They were 22 males and one female, aged from 26 to 60 years (average, 35.7 years), with 11 right and 12 left sides involved. Surgery was performed 0.5 to 7.0 days (average, 2.7 days) after injury. Length of incision, skin necrosis, infection, re-rupture, ankle-hindfoot score of American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) and Achilles tendon total rupture scores (ATRS) were followed up for 18 months. Surgical outcomes were objectively evaluated by an isokinetic test to compare the recovery of muscle strength and endurance between the affected and normal sides.Results:Skin necrosis, infection or re-rupture occurred in none of the patients. Incision length averaged 1.4 cm (from 1 to 2 cm), AOFAS 99.1 (from 93 to 100, giving an excellent and good rate of 100%), and ATRS 97.0 (from 88 to 100). Isokinetic evaluation showed that the peak torques of ankle plantar flexion and dorsal extension at 5 test speeds (30°/s, 60°/s, 90°/s, 120°/s and 240°/s) were not significantly different between the affected and normal sides ( P>0.05). In the endurance test, the total work of ankle plantar flexion was (691.2±258.8) J on the normal side and (670.6±304.2) J on the affected side, showing no significant difference between the 2 sides ( P>0.05); the total work of ankle dorsal extension at the normal side was (407.3±119.2) J, significantly larger than that at the affected side [(362.2±117.5) J] ( P=0.001). Conclusion:An isokinetic test can be used to objectively evaluate the recovery of muscle strength and endurance after treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture using a tunnel beneath paratenon.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of using a tunnel beneath the paratenon to repair chronic Achilles tendon rupture of Myerson type Ⅱ.Methods From August 2008 through January 2018,19 patients with chronic Achilles tendon rupture were treated with a self-designed minimally invasive suture technique at Department of Orthopaedics,The Fourth Medical Center,General Hospital of PLA.They were all male,aged from 25 to 64 years(average,40.4 years).The left side was injured in 12 patients and the right side in 7.The duration from injury to surgery ranged from 28 to 120 days,averaging 60 days.The Achilles tendon defects averaged 3.84 cm.Their clinical diagnoses were confirmed by positive results of clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) scans.After a 2 cm transverse incision was made at the proximal side,the proximal stump beneath the paratenon was adequately released with a periosteum elevator.The proximal stump was sutured by the Bunnell method with an Ethicon-X519 non-absorbable suture under direct vision.After a 1.0-1.5 cm transverse incision was made,percutaneous Bunnell suture was performed at the distal side.The proximal stump was then introduced into the distal incision through the paratenon tunnel.After the affected foot was fully flexed,the 2 stumps were tied closely together and buried under direct vision.Early rehabilitation was encouraged after surgery.The clinical efficacy was assessed according to the ankle-hindfoot scores of American Orthopaedic Foot&Ankle Society(AOFAS) and the Arner-Lindholm evaluation criteria.Results The 19 patients were followed up for 10 months to 9.5 years(average,2.45 years).All the wounds healed at the first stage without any complications related to incision,sural nerve injury or tendon re-rupture.Their AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores averaged 98.4,with 19 excellent cases;according to the Arner-Lindholm criteria,13 cases were excellent and 6 cases good.Both of the evaluation systems yielded a good to excellent rate of 100%.In the 3 patients who underwent isokinetic testing,there was no significant difference between the normal and affected sides in the peak value of flexion or in the total work of fatigue.Conclusion Using a tunnel beneath the paratenon is a good self-designed minimally invasive suture technique for chronic Achilles tendon rupture of Myerson type Ⅱ because it is simple and reliable,and leads to limited tissue damage,adhesion or complications.

Objective To explore the value of MR T2 mapping imaging in evaluation of the effection of Zhitong-Jiangu recipes in treatment of cartilage injury in osteoarthritis.Methods The models of osteoarthritis in the knee of New Zealand white rabbits were made with intra-articular injection of papain.Totally 48 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group,glucosamine hydrochloride treatment group and Zhitong-Jiangu recipes treatment group.MR T2 mapping was performed on the knee and the content of MMP-1 in articular cartilage was analyzed with immunohistochemistry 4 weeks after treatment.The differences of T2 value and MMP-1 content of articular cartilage among the four groups were compared.The correlation among the different intervention methods,MMP-1 content of articular cartilage and the T2 value of articular cartilage were analyzed.Results T2 value of articular cartilage in the model control group was significantly higher than that in the other three groups (all P＜0.01),and there was no significant difference of T2 value among the other three groups.The MMP-1 content of articular cartilage in glucosamine hydrochloride treatment group and Zhitong-Jiangu recipes treatment group was lower than that in model control group (both P＜0.05),and was higher than that in normal control group (both P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups.The relationship between MMP-1 content and T2 value of articular cartilage was nonlinear.With the increase of MMP-1 content,T2 value first increased slowly and then increased rapidly (P＜0.05).Conclusion MR T2 mapping imaging is helpful to evaluating the efficacy of Zhitong-Jiangu recipes in treatment of cartilage injury in osteoarthritis in rabbit models.The relationship between MMP-1 content and T2 value of articular cartilage may be nonlinear.

Objective To investigate the expression of miRNA-301a-3p in pancreatic cancer and to correlate the expression on invasion , migration and colony formation of pancreatic cancer cells .Methods The expression of miRNA-301a-3p in 20 paired pancreatic cancer tissues and matched adjacent tissues , and pancreatic cancer cell lines and normal pancreatic ductal cells were detected by real -time PCR.miRNA-301a-3p mimics or inhibitors were used to up-regulate or down-regulate the miRNA-301a-3p level in pancre-atic cancer cell lines in order to figure out the effects of miRNA-301a-3p on cell invasion, migration and col-ony formation of pancreatic cancer cells , respectively .Results In pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines , miRNA-301a-3p was significantly up-regulated when compared with the matched adjacent tissues ( P <0.05) and normal pancreatic ductal cells (P<0.05), respectively.Overexpression or downexpression of miRNA-301a-3p enhanced or suppressed colony formation , invasion and migration abilities of pancreatic cancer cells in vitro.Upregulation of miRNA-301a-3p promoted tumorigenesis in vivo.Conclusion miR-NA-301a-3p might function as an oncogene to promote tumorigenesis in pancreatic cancer .

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of a new minimal incision suture technique in repair of acute close rupture of Achilles tendon.Methods From August 2008 through October 2014,134 patients with acute close rupture of Achilles tendon were treated with a self-designed minimally invasive suture technique at our institution.They were 130 men and 4 women,with an average age of 37.4 years (range,from 18 to 52 years).The left side was injured in 93 patients and the right side in 41.The interval from injury to surgery was 1 to 7 days (average,2.5 days).The tendon rupture was located at 4.5 to 6.3 cm proximal to its insertion in 133 patients,and at 1.2 cm in one.With the ankle held in full plantar flexion,a 1.0 to 1.5 cm transverse incision was made over the palpable defect.Forceps were then used to mobilize the tendon from beneath the paratenon.The safe puncture site was determined by course and distribution of the sural nerve indirectly located by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Ethicon MB66 nonabsorbable suture was passed diagonally through the tendon bulk under epidural puncture needle guidance.The proximal and distal ends of the suture were tied together and buried.The tendon ends were apposed through the transverse incision.Postoperative individual rehabilitation was established based on pathological differentiation for tendon tissue.Results All the patients were followed up for 8 to 48 months (average,19.6 months).All the wounds healed at the first stage.No complications happened related to incision.The nervus suralis was injured in 3 patients;tendon re-rupture occurred in 4 patients,3 of whom received re-operation and one of whom conservative treatment.Their American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores averaged 99.6,giving a good to excellent rate of 100％ (133excellentcasesandonegoodcase).According to the Arner-Lindholm evaluation criteria,ankle function was excellent in 99 cases,good in 34 ones and poor in one,giving a good to excellent rate of 99.3％.Conclusion The new minimal incision suture technique is worthy of promotion in repair of ruptured Achilles tendon,because it is simple and reliable,does not interfere with the blood circulation to the Achilles tendon,prevents such complications as sural nerve injury and recurrent rupture,and leads to little adhesion and quick functional recovery.
