morbidity and mortality.AIM To evaluate T1 mapping based on gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)for diagnosis of hepatic SOS induced by monocrotaline.METHODS Twenty-four mice were divided into control(n=10)and experimental(n=14)groups.The experimental groups were injected with monocrotaline 2 or 6 days before MRI.MRI parameters were:T1 relaxation time before enhancement;T1 relaxation time 20 minutes after enhancement(T_(1post));a reduction in T1 relaxation time(△T_(1)%);and first enhancement slope percentage of the liver parenchyma(ESP).Albumin and bilirubin score was determined.Histological results served as a reference.Liver parenchyma samples from the control and experimental groups were analyzed by western blotting,and organic anion transporter polypeptide 1(OATP1)was measured.RESULTS T_(1post),△T_(1)%,and ESP of the liver parenchyma were significantly different between two groups(all P<0.001)and significantly correlated with the total histological score of hepatic SOS(r=-0.70,0.68 and 0.79;P<0.001).△T_(1)%and ESP were positively correlated with OATP1 levels(r=0.82,0.85;P<0.001),whereas T_(1post) had a negative correlation with OATP1 levels(r=-0.83;P<0.001).INTRODUCTION Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome(SOS)is also known as hepatic veno-occlusive disease of the liver[1].The main pathological feature of hepatic SOS is damage to liver terminal vessels,and the clinical symptoms of it include ascites and abdominal pain[2].It was first proposed in 1979 as an early complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation[3].The prevalence ranges from 5%to 60%,and hepatic SOS is a potentially severe complication and can even lead to death in severe cases[4].Recently,systemic neoadjuvant chemotherapy became widely regarded as one of the causes hepatic SOS in the patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer[5,6],especially those were treated with oxaliplatin[7,8].Oxaliplatin-based preoperative chemotherapy is used for patients with colorectal liver metastases as the standard regimen[8,9],because it could improve tumor resection outcome by shrinking the metastatic sites and reducing recurrence rate[10].Nevertheless,chemotherapy-induced hepatic SOS has been associated with a higher risk of postresection morbidity[11],such as intraoperative bleeding,intraoperative transfusions,and postoperative liver failure[12].Therefore,it is important to detect and diagnose of hepatic SOS timely.Currently,the gold standard is still based on liver biopsy[13],but it is an invasive procedure and has several limitations and complications,such as hemorrhage[14].A noninvasive diagnostic modality is needed for the assessment of hepatic SOS.Some noninvasive tools have been used for diagnosis of hepatic SOS.Researchers have utilized a preoperative platelet count and aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index[15].In addition,some imaging methods such as shear wave ultrasonography,computed tomography,and gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)have been promoted as useful methods for evaluation of hepatic SOS[16-18].Recent studies with monocrotaline(MCT)-treated rats were conducted to investigate diagnosis and prediction of severity of SOS.For example,intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging,non-Gaussian diffusion models,and T1 rho quantification[19,20].The MCT-induced hepatic SOS animal model was reproducible,with a detailed pathological scoring criteria[21].Gadoxetic acid is a hepatocyte-specific contrast substance,which can provide parenchymal contrast in the hepato-biliary phase.It is reported that gadoxetic acid is absorbed into the liver parenchyma via organic anion transporter polypeptide 1(OATP1)on the hepatocyte membranes[22-24].Recently,several authors have described the feasibility of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI for the diagnosis of oxaliplatin-induced hepatic SOS[25].They mainly diagnosed hepatic SOS based on the signal intensity of the hepatobiliary specific phase.However,there were several limitations due to the inconsistency between signal intensity of the liver parenchyma and the concentration of contrast agent for evaluation of the degree of hepatic SOS[26].Therefore,we measured T1 relaxation time on parametric mapping because it is linearly related to the concentration of the contrast agent and is not affected by other factors[27].Yang et al[28]demonstrated T1 mapping on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI for the assessment of oxaliplatin-induced liver injury in a C57BL/6 mouse model.However,the main pathological changes in their model were hepatocyte degeneration and fibrosis.Therefore,we aimed to explore the effectiveness of T1 mapping based on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI for the diagnosis of hepatic SOS in a C57BL/6 mouse model,as well as a possible relation between OATP1 Levels and MRI parameters.展开更多

The Dongpu Depression in North China is a typically saline lacustrine basin with developing halite and gypsum. The effect of gypsum minerals on residual oil content and chemical fractionation remains unclear. In this study, shale samples with different gypsum contents were used in organic geochemical experiments, showing that the high total organic matter (TOC) content and type II kerogen leads to a high residual oil content, as shown by high values of volatile hydrocarbon (S1) and extractable organic matter (EOM). XRD and FE-SEM result indicate that the existence of gypsum in saline shale contributes to an enhanced pore space and a higher residual oil content in comparison to non-gypsum shale. Additionally, the increase in the gypsum mineral content leads to an increase in the saturated hydrocarbon percentage and a decrease in polar components percentage (resins and asphaltene). Furthermore, thermal simulation experiments on low-mature saline shale show that the percentage of saturated hydrocarbons in the residual oil is high and remains stable and that the storage space is mainly mesoporous (> 20 nm) in the oil expulsion stage. However, the saturated hydrocarbons percentage decreases rapidly, and oil exists in mesopores (> 20 nm and < 5 nm) in the gas expulsion stage. In general, gypsum is conducive to the development of pore space, the adsorption of hydrocarbons and the occurrence of saturated hydrocarbon, leading to large quantities of residual oil. The data in this paper should prove to be reliable for shale oil exploration in saline lacustrine basins.展开更多

Even if RT is effective in the treatment of cancer patients, severe radiation pneumonitis (RP) or pulmonary fibrosis (PF) can reduce the quality of life of patients and may even lead to serious consequences of death. Therefore, how to overcome the problem of accurate prediction and early diagnosis of RT for pulmonary toxicity is very important. This review summarizes the related factors of RILI and the related biomarkers for early prediction of RILI.展开更多

The study design and participants were subjected to metrological analysis. Correlation coeffi cient(r) was used for evaluating the relationship between fractional anisotropy(FA) and motor function outcome. Correlation coeffi cient values were extracted from each study, and 95% confidence intervals(CIs) were calculated by Fisher's z transformation. Meta-analysis was conducted by STATA software.RESULTS: Fifteen studies with a total of 414 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that FA in the subacute phase had the signifi cant correlation with motor function outcome(ES=0.75, 95%CI 0.62–0.87), which showed moderate quality based on GRADE system. The weight correlation coeffi cient revealed that an effect size(ES) of FA in acute phase and chronic phase was 0.51(95%CI 0.33–0.68) and 0.62(95%CI 0.47–0.77) respectively.CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis reveals that FA in the subacute phase after ischemic stroke is a good predictor for functional motor recovery, which shows moderate quality based on the GRADE system.展开更多

METHODS Enrolled patients were divided randomly into an experimental group(inhalation of nitrous oxide) and a control group(inhalation of pure oxygen) and heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, electrocardiogram(ECG) changes, and the occurrence of complications were monitored and recorded. All patients and physicians completed satisfaction questionnaires about the examination and scored the process using a visual analog scale. RESULTS There was no significant difference in heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, ECG changes, or complication rate between the two groups of patients(P > 0.05). However, patient and physician satisfaction were both significantly higher in the nitrous oxide compared with the control group(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION Nitrous oxide-sedation is a safe and effective option for patients undergoing endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration.展开更多

To evaluate T1 mapping based on gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)for diagnosis of hepatic SOS induced by monocrotaline.METHODS Twenty-four mice were divided into control(n=10)and experimental(n=14)groups.The experimental groups were injected with monocrotaline 2 or 6 days before MRI.MRI parameters were:T1 relaxation time before enhancement;T1 relaxation time 20 minutes after enhancement(T_(1post));a reduction in T1 relaxation time(△T_(1)%);and first enhancement slope percentage of the liver parenchyma(ESP).Albumin and bilirubin score was determined.Histological results served as a reference.Liver parenchyma samples from the control and experimental groups were analyzed by western blotting,and organic anion transporter polypeptide 1(OATP1)was measured.RESULTS T_(1post),△T_(1)%,and ESP of the liver parenchyma were significantly different between two groups(all P<0.001)and significantly correlated with the total histological score of hepatic SOS(r=-0.70,0.68 and 0.79;P<0.001).△T_(1)%and ESP were positively correlated with OATP1 levels(r=0.82,0.85;P<0.001),whereas T_(1post) had a negative correlation with OATP1 levels(r=-0.83;P<0.001).INTRODUCTION Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome(SOS)is also known as hepatic veno-occlusive disease of the liver[1].The main pathological feature of hepatic SOS is damage to liver terminal vessels,and the clinical symptoms of it include ascites and abdominal pain[2].It was first proposed in 1979 as an early complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation[3].The prevalence ranges from 5%to 60%,and hepatic SOS is a potentially severe complication and can even lead to death in severe cases[4].Recently,systemic neoadjuvant chemotherapy became widely regarded as one of the causes hepatic SOS in the patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer[5,6],especially those were treated with oxaliplatin[7,8].Oxaliplatin-based preoperative chemotherapy is used for patients with colorectal liver metastases as the standard regimen[8,9],because it could improve tumor resection outcome by shrinking the metastatic sites and reducing recurrence rate[10].Nevertheless,chemotherapy-induced hepatic SOS has been associated with a higher risk of postresection morbidity[11],such as intraoperative bleeding,intraoperative transfusions,and postoperative liver failure[12].Therefore,it is important to detect and diagnose of hepatic SOS timely.Currently,the gold standard is still based on liver biopsy[13],but it is an invasive procedure and has several limitations and complications,such as hemorrhage[14].A noninvasive diagnostic modality is needed for the assessment of hepatic SOS.Some noninvasive tools have been used for diagnosis of hepatic SOS.Researchers have utilized a preoperative platelet count and aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index[15].In addition,some imaging methods such as shear wave ultrasonography,computed tomography,and gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)have been promoted as useful methods for evaluation of hepatic SOS[16-18].Recent studies with monocrotaline(MCT)-treated rats were conducted to investigate diagnosis and prediction of severity of SOS.For example,intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging,non-Gaussian diffusion models,and T1 rho quantification[19,20].The MCT-induced hepatic SOS animal model was reproducible,with a detailed pathological scoring criteria[21].Gadoxetic acid is a hepatocyte-specific contrast substance,which can provide parenchymal contrast in the hepato-biliary phase.It is reported that gadoxetic acid is absorbed into the liver parenchyma via organic anion transporter polypeptide 1(OATP1)on the hepatocyte membranes[22-24].Recently,several authors have described the feasibility of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI for the diagnosis of oxaliplatin-induced hepatic SOS[25].They mainly diagnosed hepatic SOS based on the signal intensity of the hepatobiliary specific phase.However,there were several limitations due to the inconsistency between signal intensity of the liver parenchyma and the concentration of contrast agent for evaluation of the degree of hepatic SOS[26].Therefore,we measured T1 relaxation time on parametric mapping because it is linearly related to the concentration of the contrast agent and is not affected by other factors[27].Yang et al[28]demonstrated T1 mapping on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI for the assessment of oxaliplatin-induced liver injury in a C57BL/6 mouse model.However,the main pathological changes in their model were hepatocyte degeneration and fibrosis.Therefore,we aimed to explore the effectiveness of T1 mapping based on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI for the diagnosis of hepatic SOS in a C57BL/6 mouse model,as well as a possible relation between OATP1 Levels and MRI parameters.

文摘Halite and gypsum minerals in saline shale make the retention mechanism and chemical fractionation of residual oil unique. The Dongpu Depression in North China is a typically saline lacustrine basin with developing halite and gypsum. The effect of gypsum minerals on residual oil content and chemical fractionation remains unclear. In this study, shale samples with different gypsum contents were used in organic geochemical experiments, showing that the high total organic matter (TOC) content and type II kerogen leads to a high residual oil content, as shown by high values of volatile hydrocarbon (S1) and extractable organic matter (EOM). XRD and FE-SEM result indicate that the existence of gypsum in saline shale contributes to an enhanced pore space and a higher residual oil content in comparison to non-gypsum shale. Additionally, the increase in the gypsum mineral content leads to an increase in the saturated hydrocarbon percentage and a decrease in polar components percentage (resins and asphaltene). Furthermore, thermal simulation experiments on low-mature saline shale show that the percentage of saturated hydrocarbons in the residual oil is high and remains stable and that the storage space is mainly mesoporous (> 20 nm) in the oil expulsion stage. However, the saturated hydrocarbons percentage decreases rapidly, and oil exists in mesopores (> 20 nm and < 5 nm) in the gas expulsion stage. In general, gypsum is conducive to the development of pore space, the adsorption of hydrocarbons and the occurrence of saturated hydrocarbon, leading to large quantities of residual oil. The data in this paper should prove to be reliable for shale oil exploration in saline lacustrine basins.
文摘Radiotherapy (RT) is a common and effective non-surgical treatment for thoracic solid tumors, and radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is the most common side effect of radiotherapy. Even if RT is effective in the treatment of cancer patients, severe radiation pneumonitis (RP) or pulmonary fibrosis (PF) can reduce the quality of life of patients and may even lead to serious consequences of death. Therefore, how to overcome the problem of accurate prediction and early diagnosis of RT for pulmonary toxicity is very important. This review summarizes the related factors of RILI and the related biomarkers for early prediction of RILI.

文摘Comparative analyses of petroleum generation potential,reservoir volume,frackability,and oil mobility were conducted on 102 shale cores from the Dongpu Depression.Results show the shale has high organic matter contents composed of oil-prone type I and type II kerogens within the oil window.Various types of pores and fractures exist in the shale,with a porosity of up to 14.9%.The shale has high brittle mineral contents,extensive fractures,and high potential for oil mobility due to high seepage capacity and overpressure.Although the petroleum generation potential of the shale at Well PS18-8 is relatively greater than that at Well PS18-1,oil content of the latter is greater due to the greater TOC.The porosity and fracture density observed in Well PS18-1 are greater and more conducive to shale oil enrichment.Although the shales in Wells PS18-1 and PS18-8 have similar brittle mineral contents,the former is more favorable for anthropogenic fracturing due to a higher preexisting fracture density.Besides,the shale at Well PS18-1 has a higher seepage capacity and overpressure and therefore a higher oil mobility.The fracture density and overpressure play key roles in shale oil enrichment.
文摘BACKGROUND: This systematic review aims to investigate the prediction value of diffusion tensor imaging for motor function recovery of ischemic stroke patients.METHODS: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials(CENTRAL)(the Cochrane Library 2016, Issue 9), Pub Med, Embase, Clarivate Analytics, Scopus, CINAHL, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Google Scholar were searched for either motor recovery or corticospinal tract integrity by diffusion tensor imaging in different stroke phase from January 1, 1970, to October 31, 2016. The study design and participants were subjected to metrological analysis. Correlation coeffi cient(r) was used for evaluating the relationship between fractional anisotropy(FA) and motor function outcome. Correlation coeffi cient values were extracted from each study, and 95% confidence intervals(CIs) were calculated by Fisher's z transformation. Meta-analysis was conducted by STATA software.RESULTS: Fifteen studies with a total of 414 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that FA in the subacute phase had the signifi cant correlation with motor function outcome(ES=0.75, 95%CI 0.62–0.87), which showed moderate quality based on GRADE system. The weight correlation coeffi cient revealed that an effect size(ES) of FA in acute phase and chronic phase was 0.51(95%CI 0.33–0.68) and 0.62(95%CI 0.47–0.77) respectively.CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis reveals that FA in the subacute phase after ischemic stroke is a good predictor for functional motor recovery, which shows moderate quality based on the GRADE system.

文摘BACKGROUND Autoimmune liver disease(AILD)has been considered a relatively uncommon disease in China,epidemiological data for AILD in patients with cirrhosis and acute decompensation(AD)is sparse.AIM To investigate the prevalence,outcome and risk factors for AILD in cirrhotic patients complicated with AD in China.METHODS We collected data from patients with cirrhosis and AD from two prospective,multicenter cohorts in hepatitis B virus endemic areas.Patients were regularly followed up at the end of 28-d,90-d and 365-d,or until death or liver transplantation(LT).The primary outcome in this study was 90-d LTfree mortality.Acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF)was assessed on admission and during 28-d hospitalization,according to the diagnostic criteria of the European Association for the Study of the Liver(EASL).Risk factors for death were analyzed with logistic regression model.RESULTS In patients with cirrhosis and AD,the overall prevalence of AILD was 9.3%(242/2597).Prevalence of ACLF was significantly lower in AILD cases(14%)than those with all etiology groups with cirrhosis and AD(22.8%)(P<0.001).Among 242 enrolled AILD patients,the prevalence rates of primary biliary cirrhosis(PBC),autoimmune hepatitis(AIH)and PBC-AIH overlap syndrome(PBC/AIH)were 50.8%,28.5%and 12.0%,respectively.In ACLF patients,the proportions of PBC,AIH and PBC/AIH were 41.2%,29.4% and 20.6%.28-d and 90-d mortality were 43.8% and 80.0% in AILD-related ACLF.The etiology of AILD had no significant impact on 28-d,90-d or 365-d LTfree mortality in patients with cirrhosis and AD in both univariate and multivariate analysis.Total bilirubin(TB),hepatic encephalopathy(HE)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)were independent risk factors for 90-d LT-free mortality in multivariate analysis.The development of ACLF during hospitalization only independently correlated to TB and international normalized ratio.CONCLUSION AILD was not rare in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis and AD in China,among which PBC was the most common etiology.90-d LT-free mortality were independently associated with TB,HE and BUN.
文摘AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nitrous oxidesedated endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration. METHODS Enrolled patients were divided randomly into an experimental group(inhalation of nitrous oxide) and a control group(inhalation of pure oxygen) and heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, electrocardiogram(ECG) changes, and the occurrence of complications were monitored and recorded. All patients and physicians completed satisfaction questionnaires about the examination and scored the process using a visual analog scale. RESULTS There was no significant difference in heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, ECG changes, or complication rate between the two groups of patients(P > 0.05). However, patient and physician satisfaction were both significantly higher in the nitrous oxide compared with the control group(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION Nitrous oxide-sedation is a safe and effective option for patients undergoing endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration.

文摘BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide,and has relatively high recurrence rates.Few studies have been published on the clinical stages of recurrent HCC.AIM To assess the applicability of the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer(BCLC)staging for recurrent HCC and the need to establish clinical stage criteria for recurrent HCC.METHODS The clinicopathological data of 81 patients with recurrent HCC who were admitted to the Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2013 to December 2017 were collected.The patients were divided into three groups according to the BCLC staging system as follows:(1)Group A with BCLC stage A,51 patients;(2)Group B with BCLC stage B,14 patients;and(3)Group C with BCLC stage C,16 patients.The median time to tumor recurrence and the median overall survival were compared.RESULTS The median time to tumor recurrence in groups A,B,and C was 16±1.5 mo,10±2.8 mo,and 6±0.5 mo,respectively,with a statistically significant difference among them(χ^(2)=70.144,P<0.05);no statistically significant difference was noted between group A and group B(χ^(2)=2.659,P>0.05),although there were statistically significant differences between group A and group C and between group B and group C(χ^(2)=62.110,and 19.972,P<0.05).The median overall survival in groups A,B,and C were 42±5.1 mo,22±3.1 mo,and 13±1.8 mo,respectively,with a statistically significant difference among them(χ2=38.949,P<0.05);there were statistically significant differences between group A and group B,group A and group C,and group B and group C(χ2=9.577,37.172,and 7.183,respectively;P<0.05).CONCLUSION There are different prognoses in recurrent HCC patients according to the BCLC staging.Therefore,BCLC staging is applicable to recurrent HCC and it is essential to formulate clinical stage criteria for recurrent HCC.
文摘Background: To evaluate the effects of home versus centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation on exercise capacity, quality of life, and dyspnoea scores in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by meta-analysis. Methods: We searched the Cochrane library, Embase, PubMed and CINAHL (EBSCO) up to April 2020 without language restriction to collect randomized controlled trials of home versus centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Literatures screening, risk of bias assessment and data extraction for the included studies were conducted by two reviewers independently. The data analysis was carried out by RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 9 studies, which comprised a total of 859 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Centre and home-based pulmonary rehabilitation were equally effective at improving exercise capacity (MD = 2.30, 95% CI: 12.02 to 7.42, P > 0.05) and dyspnoea scores (MD = 0.15, 95% CI: 0.46 to 0.17, P > 0.05). They were also equally effective at improving health-related quality of life on the chronic respiratory questionnaire (dyspnea: MD = 0.08, 95% CI: 0.30 to 0.13, P > 0.05;fatigue: MD = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.45 to 0.07, P > 0.05;emotional function: MD = 0.18, 95% CI, 0.40 to 0.40, P > 0.05 and mastery: MD = 0.13, 95% CI: 0.38 to 0.11, P > 0.05), and on the St George's respiratory questionnaire (MD = 1.77, 95% CI: 4.54 to 0.99, P > 0.05). Conclusion: Home and centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation has similar effects on exercise capacity, quality of life, and dyspnoea scores in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation has the potential to be an alternative to centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation.

文摘We investigate strong exciton-plasmon coupling and plasmon-mediated hybridization between the Frenkel(F)and Wannier–Mott(WM)excitons of an organic-inorganic hybrid system consisting of a silver ring separated from a monolayer WS2 by J-aggregates.The extinction spectra of the hybrid system calculated by employing the coupled oscillator model are consistent with the results simulated by the finite-difference time-domain method.The calculation results show that strong couplings among F excitons,WM excitons,and localized surface plasmon resonances(LSPRs)lead to the appearance of three plexciton branches in the extinction spectra.The weighting efficiencies of the F exciton,WM exciton and LSPR modes in three plexciton branches are used to analyze the exciton-polaritons in the system.Furthermore,the strong coupling between two different excitons and LSPRs is manipulated by tuning F or WM exciton resonances.
