The incidence rate of abdominal trauma is increasing year by year in pediatric trauma, and traumatic pancreatic injury should be taken seriously by clinicians. The pancreas is located behind the peritoneum, and it is difficult to make an early diagnosis of pancreatic injury, especially in children with grade Ⅰ/Ⅱ injury. Through a literature review, this article analyzes the application value of endocrine indices and abdominal ultrasound in the early diagnosis of pediatric pancreatic injury, so as to improve the rate of early diagnosis and avoid the onset of related complications. Changes of the endocrine indices such as serum insulin and C Peptide have certain advantages in diagnosing and evaluating the degree of pediatric pancreatic injury and can thus be used as early warning indices for pediatric pancreatic injury. Ultrasound elastography provides a new method for the diagnosis and differentiation of pancreatic injury; contrast-enhanced ultrasound, which has no radioactive damage, has relatively high specificity and sensitivity in identifying pediatric pancreatic injury, and therefore, it is expected to become an alternative to CT examination.

Objective:To compare the application effect of domestic and imported intravenous radiofrequency closure system in the treatment of primary varicose veins of lower extremities.Methods:This single-center prospective, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial was performed in the Department of Vascular Surgery, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2021 to January 2022. Patients with primary varicose veins of lower extremities who met the ataxation criteria were randomly assigned to the experimental group(domestic novel venous radiofrequency closure system) or the control group(imported venous radiofrequency closure system) in a ratio of 1∶1. The two groups of subjects were compared in terms of target vein closure rate, technical success rate, system operation performance, incidence of adverse events and incidence of serious adverse events(SAE) within 6 months after surgery. Quantitative data were compared by Mann-Whitney U test, and categorical data were compared by χ2 test and non-inferiority test. Results:A total of 80 subjects were included in the trial (41 in the experimental group and 39 in the control group), including 27 males and 53 females, aged ( M(IQR)) 55(23) years (range:40 to 78 years). There were 48 cases of left lower limb and 32 cases of right lower limb. The technical success rate and system control performance between the groups were 100%.The incidence of adverse events (58.5% (24/41) vs. 61.5% (24/39), χ2=0.075, P=0.784), and the incidence of SAE (7.3% (3/41) vs. 5.1% (2/39), χ2=0.163, P=0.686) within 6 months after surgery in experimental group and control group had no statistical significance. There was one device-related adverse event in each of the two groups. In the experimental group, one patient developed endovenous heat-induced thrombosis after surgery and recovered after taking rivaroxaban tablets. One patient in the control group had pain in the upper right thigh for more than 1 day after operation, which was cured after using analgesic cream. No device-related SAE occurred. The venous closure rate of the experimental group was 100% (38/38) at 6 months after surgery, and that of the control group was 97.4% (37/38). The difference between the two groups was 2.63% (95% CI:-3.19 to 8.45, Z=4.865, P<0.01), and the 95% CI lower limit of the difference in target venous closure rate between two groups was greater than the non-inferiority threshold of -10.00%. Conclusion:The early application effect of the new domestic intravenous radiofrequency closure system in patients with primary varicose veins of lower extremities is in line with expectations, it is not inferior to the imported system.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the pharmacoeconomic research of the second-generation direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs)in the treatment of hepatitis C ,and to provide methodological suggestions for economic research ,and to provide decision-making reference for the adjustment of medical insurance catalogues and market access. METHODS :Retrieved from PubMed ,EMbase,the Cochrane library ,CNKI,Wanfang database and VIP ,the pharmacoeconomic researches of the second-generation DAAs for hepatitis C were collected during Jan. 2015-Jan. 2020. The quality of included studies were evaluated with the checklist about Consolidated Health Economics Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS),and the data were extracted and analyzed quantitatively. RESULTS :A total of 14 studies were included ,and the standard coincidence rate ranged from 79.2% to 95.8%;the overall quality was relatively high. Thirteen (92.9%)studies had compared the economics of different treatment schemes from the perspective of the payer by using the Markov model and the lifetime study time limit. Compared with the second-generation DAAs treatment schemes based on sofosbuvir ,all the research results showed that Ombitasvir combined with Dasabuvir(3D),EBR/GZR and GLE/PIB were more economical in the target countries ;single factor sensitivity analysis showed that the research results were more sensitive to the three parameters of drug price ,drug SVR rate and health status utility value. CONCLUSIONS:Among the second-generation DAAs for hepatitis C ,the three regimens of 3D,EBR/GZR and GLE/PIB are more economical. It is recommended that future research on the economics of medicines for hepatitis C adopted dynamic model and the research perspective of the whole society to carry out direct high-quality economic research on a variety of DAAs ;at the same time,considered the effects of drug price ,drug SVR rate and health status utility value on the robustness of basic analysis results in sensitivity analysis in order to increase the credibility of the research results.

Cardiac reentry is one of the important factors to induce arrhythmias. It could lead to ventricular tachycardia (VT) or even fibrillation (VF), resulting in sudden cardiac death. With the wide use of computer in the quantitative study of electrophysiology, the three-dimensional virtual heart for simulations needs to be developed imminently in computer. In this paper, numerical algorithm of the model was studied. The three-dimensional model was constructed by integrating Luo-Rudy 1991 ventricular cell model and diffusion equation. The operator splitting method was employed to solve the model. The alternate direction iterative (ADI) format and seven-point centered difference method were used for the partial differential equation. And the discrete format with second-order accuracy was taken for the boundary conditions. The results showed that the ADI format and seven-point centered difference method both could successfully figure out the membrane potential and electrical activities with good numerical stability. However, computing consumption could be greatly reduced with the ADI format, implying that the ADI method with large time step was more powerful in numerical simulations.

ObjectivesTo detect the effects of P-selectin on deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in nephrotic syndrome (NS). and to evaluate the molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a P-selectin targeted conlrost agent in diagnosis of thrombosis in the early phase. Methods(1) Forty-one patients with NS hospitalized in our department from 2005 to 2006 were enrolled in this study. They were assigned into DVT group and non-DVT group according to lower limbs radionuclide imaging (RNV) with 99mTc MAA. Blood P-selectin level was measured by ELISA method. (2) P-selectin was detected both in injured vein and blood immediately, 1 h and 3 h after the dog DVT model was established. (3) The P-selectin-targeted contrast agent was developed by conjugating anti-P-selectin lectin-EGF domain monoclonal antibody (PsL-EGFmAb) which was prepared by our lab. The potential of this contrast agent used in vitro molecular imaging experiment as well as in vivo experiment in dog DVT model was investigated. Results (1) Blood P-selectin level was elevated in patients with NS. It was much higher in DVT group than that in non-DVT group. (2) Blood P-selectin level was also elevated in DVT dogs and P-selectin expressed immediately in tunica intima of injured vein and subsequently in thrombus after the model established. (3) Mural thrombus showed higher signal visualization than surrounding muscle in 30 rain after contrast agent injection. These enhanced signals exhibited P-selectin specificity and persisted from the initiation of intima lesions to 3 h after development of thrombosis. There was signficant Differences in contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the experiment group and the control group (11.50±2.32 vs 2.71±0.86, P<0.01). The same results were derived from 30 rain to 1 hafter contrast agent being injected in distal to heart part of the injured vessel, and the signal decreased 24 h later. Differences in CNR of the experiment group and the control group were also statistically significant (10.40±2.15 vs 1.93±0.57, P<0.01). Moreover, the contrast agent did not affect the vital signs of the dog. The function of the heart, lung, liver and kidney functions remained normal after contrast administration. Conclusions P-selectin*targeted new MR contrast can be used to early locate thrombus in vivo in an early stage, which does not compromise the function of the important organs. It may become a new method for early diagnosis of thrombosis.
