ObjectiveTo assess the occurrence of CNV in patients presenting with flat irregular pigment epithelial detachments (FIPED). MethodsForty-five patients (49 eyes) with FIPED on OCT were enrolled in this retrospective study. There were 25 males (28 eyes) and 20 females (21 eyes). The mean age was 61.022±9.292 years. FFA, ICGA, spectral domain OCT and OCT angiography (OCTA) were performed in all patients during the same period. The FIPED was defined as an irregular elevation of the RPE allowing distinct visualization of Bruch’s membrane on OCT B-scan. The abnormal vascular signals from the deep retinal layer to the choroid layer on OCTA was defined as CNV. The CNV was classified into a type 1 CNV and a type 2 CNV according to the OCT characteristics. The CNV was classified into a typical and occult CNV according to the characteristics of the FFA image. Of all 49 eyes, fundus angiography revealed 18 eyes (36.7%) with CNV, and 31 eyes (63.3%) with no characteristic signs of CNV. FFA examination found that CNV in 8 eyes (classic CNV in 1 eyes, occult CNV in 7 eyes), which confirmed by OCT were type 1 CNV; transmitted fluorescence in 41 eyes. ICGA examination showed that CNV-like hyperfluorescence spots in 18 eyes, suspicious hyperfluorescence spots in late stage in 20 eyes, and choroidal high permeability in 11 eyes, respectively; and 18 CNV eyes were confirmed to be type 1 CNV by OCT. To compare the detection of CNV by OCTA and fundus angiography. ResultsOf the 49 eyes with FIPED, OCTA detected 36 eyes (73.5%) of type 1 CNV, and full or partial strong reflex signals were seen in FIPED; 13 eyes (26.5%) were not associated with CNV, and some strong reflection signals were found in FIPED in 9 eyes, 4 eyes with weak reflection signal. The FFA was examined for 1, 7 eyes of the classic and occult CNV, which confirmed to be type 1 CNV by OCTA. Among the 18 eyes with CNV which detected by ICGA, OCTA also found type 1 CNV. Among the 20 eyes with ICGA’s late suspicious strong fluorescent spots, OCTA showed 17 eyes of type 1 CNV; in 11 eyes with high choroidal permeability, OCTA showed type 1 CNV in 1 eye. Among the 36 eyes with CNV which detected by OCT, there were SRD in 32 eyes, no SRD in 2 eyes and retinal interlamellar cavities in 2 eyes. ConclusionOCTA can detect 73.5% of FIPED eyes with CNV. Compared with traditional fundus angiography, OCTA has a higher detection rate of CNV under FIPED. The FIPED of the internal strong reflection signal has a certain diagnostic value for the type 1 CNV.

Objective Hepatitis B virus X (HBx) protein is involved in the initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by regulating the host protein-coding genes. Herein, we want to explore whether HBx protein can alter the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) to promote proliferation and transformation in malignant hepatocytesin vitro. Methods MiRNA microarray and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reactions (qRT-PCRs) were performed to identify miRNAs that were differentially regulated by HBx protein in HCC cells. Protein and mRNA expression analyses, cell cycle and apoptosis analyses, and luciferase reporter assays were performed to delineate the consequences of miR-16 family repression in HepG2 cells. Results HBx protein induced widespread deregulation of miRNAs in HepG2 cells, and the downregulation of the miR-16 family was reproducible in HepG2, SK-HEP-1, and Huh7 cells. CCND1, a target gene of the miR-16 family, was derepressed by HBx protein in HepG2 cells. C-myc mediated the HBx-induced repression of miR-15a/16 in HepG2 cells. Ectopically expressed miR-15a/16 suppressed the proliferation, clonogenicity, and anchorage-independent growth of HBx-expressing HepG2 cells by arresting them in the G1 phase and inducing apoptosis, whereas reduced expression of miR-16 accelerated the growth and cell-cycle progression of HepG2 cells. Conclusions HBx protein altered thein vitro expression of miRNAs in host malignant hepatocytes, particularly downregulating the miR-16 family. Repression of miR-15a/16 is c-myc mediated and is required for the HBx-induced transformation of HepG2 cellsin vitro. Therefore, miR-16 family may serve as a therapeutic target for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated HCC.
Objective To explore the risk factors of postoperative portal vein system thrombus (PVST) after laparoscopic splenectomy in treatment of portal hypertension and hypersplenism. Methods Clinical data of 76 patients with portal hypertension and hypersplenism who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy in the Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2012 to January 2017 were analyzed. Results There were 31 patients suffered from PVST (PVST group), and other 45 patients enrolled in non-PVST group.There were significant differences on age, diameter of splenic vein, diameter of portal vein, blood flow velocity of portal vein, level of D-dimer, and platelet count between the PVST group and the non-PVST group (P<0.05), but there were no significant difference on gender, Child-Pugh classification, etiology of cirrhosis, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and prothrombin time between the two groups (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, patients with age >50 years (RR=1.31, P=0.02), splenic vein diameter >12 mm ( RR=1.29, P<0.01), portal vein diameter >13 mm (RR=1.55, P=0.01), blood flow velocity of portal vein <18 cm/s ( RR=1.47, P<0.01), increases level of D-dimer (RR=2.89, P=0.03), and elevated platelet count (RR=1.82 P=0.02) had higher risk of postoperative PVST than those patients with age ≤50 years, splenic vein diameter ≤12 mm, portal vein diameter ≤13 mm, blood flow velocity of portal vein ≥18 cm/s, normal level of D-dimer and platelet count. Conclusion For patients with portal hypertension and hypersplenism who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy, we should pay more attention to the risk factor, such as D-dimer and so on, to avoid the occurrence of postoperative PVST.

The injuries caused by earthquake were characterized as complicated injuries, multiple injuries, crush injury, commonly accompanied by the impairment of the organs, open wound with susceptibility to contamination, difficulties in the implementation of in-time treatment, and resource-limited settings. Considering the specialty of early treatment of earthquake victims and existing misconduct, we propose recommendations according to general principles of early rationale use of antibiotics, in order to treat the earthquake victims safely, effectively and feasibly, and to decrease wound infection rates after surgery.
Central venous stenosis is a common complication following long-term dialysis catheter placement in dialysis patients. Generally, percutaneous angioplasty is the treatment of choice, and venous stent implantation should be considered in different situations. However, the venous stent migrating into right atrium is a rare but fatal complication. We presented a patient whose superior vena cava stents migrated into right atrium, resulting in acute tamponade, and exploratory thoracotomy was proceeded.
Objective To explore the measures for early diagnosis and treatment of iatrogenic injury in the distal part of common bile duct. Methods The clinical data of 20 patients with iatrogenic injury in the distal part of common bile duct treated in our hospital from 1990 to 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The injuries of 15 cases were found during the operation: 11 cases were treated with 3-stoma (bile duct, pancreas, duodenum)+Oddi sphinctreoplasty (OSP), 1 case with OSP+choledochojejunostomy, 2 cases with the perforated common bile duct suture repair+T tube drainage, 1 case with T tube drainage; All of them were cured after surgery. The other 5 cases were not found during the primary operation, 2 cases in which were cured with several operations, the other 3 were dead from infectious shock. Conclusions Early diagnosis and treatment of iatrogenic injury in the distal part of common bite duct can obtain perfect effects. Different procedures should be performed according to different degrees of the injury. The perfect preoperative imaging examination and intraoperative choledochoscopy before bile duct exploration may reduce the occurrence of the injury.
Objective To explore the safety, effectiveness, and mid-term efficacy of total thoracoscopic mitral valvuloplasty (MVP) with chordal replacement (CR) and quadrangular resection (QR) for the treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR), and to provide reference for guiding the development and selection of clinical diagnosis and treatment methods for MR patients. Methods A prospective randomized controlled study was performed to collect patients with MR who underwent MVP at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Leshan People's Hospital from January 2021 to March 2022. They were randomly divided into a CR group and a QR group by using a random number table, and were followed up for 12 months after the operation. The medical history, perioperative data and adverse cardiac endpoint events during the follow-up period were collected. The differences in surgical efficacy between the two groups were evaluated and compared, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the differences in survival rates between the two groups of patients. Results A total of 100 patients were enrolled. There were 46 patients in the CR group, including 27 males and 19 females with an average age of 49.50±9.23 years; there were 46 patients in the QR group, including 24 males and 22 females with an average age of 49.91±11.48 years. The aortic occlusion time in the CR group was longer than that in the QR group (P<0.05). Other surgical indicators, including total surgical time, extracorporeal circulation time, ventilator-assisted time, ICU hospitalization time, size of the valve ring, concomitant surgery during the same period, and the incidence of perioperative complications were not statistically different between the two groups (P>0.05). The left atrium diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of the two groups before discharge after the surgery were significantly improved compared to those before surgery (P<0.05). There was a statistical difference in LVEF between the two groups before discharge after the surgery (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in clinical efficacy between the two groups (P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the overall incidence of exemption from mild and above mitral regurgitation 12 months after the surgery in the CR group and QR group was 84.8% and 89.1%, respectively. According to the log-rank test, there was no statistical difference in the overall survival curve between the two groups (χ2=0.356, P=0.551). Conclusion CR and QR are both safe and effective methods for the treatment of simple posterior MR.
