ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical application of percutaneous injection of hemostatic agents guided by ultrasound for arresting active hemorrhage after renal biopsy. MethodsFrom January 2019 to December 2022, 10 cases of active hemorrhage after renal biopsy on ultrasound were retrospectively examined. Hemorrhage continued despite simple compression and it was treated by a percutaneous injection of hemostatic agents under ultrasonic guidance. Then hemostatic outcomes were also evaluated by ultrasound. ResultsUltrasound could detect the hemorrhagic site to enable an accurate injection of hemostatic agents. After injection, there was no active hemorrhage. ConclusionsPercutaneous injection of hemostatic drugs guided by ultrasound for arresting active hemorrhage after renal biopsy offer the advantages of rapid, accurate, effective, simple, repeatable and non-radioactive. This technique is a novel alternative for bedside immediate management of active hemorrhage after renal biopsy. At the same time, considering the safety of two kinds of hemostatic agents, hemocoagulase may be preferentially selected for local hemostasis of active hemorrhage after renal biopsy. When hemocoagulase fails to control active hemorrhage, thrombin can be replaced for hemostasis.
Background We summarized the clinical and liver histopathological features of patients with liver injury of unknown origin. We aimed to assess the value of ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy in diagnosing liver injury of unknown origin. Methods We analyzed the clinical data and ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy results of 94 patients admitted to Zhongshan Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2018 to February 2023. Results Among the 94 patients, 37 were males and 57 were females, the ratio of males to females was about 2:3, and the average age was (52.7±12.6) years. Most of the patients presented with fatigue, pruritus, jaundice, abdominal distension, and poor appetite, while 33 patients (35.1%) were admitted due to abnormal liver function or cirrhosis. All patients underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy, which led to a clinical diagnosis in 90 patients (95.7%). 43 cases (45.7%) of autoimmune liver disease (AILD), including 23 cases (24.5%) were primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), 3 cases (3.2%) were autoimmune hepatitis (AIH),14 cases (14.9%) were PBC-AIH overlap syndrome(PBC-AIH OS) and 3 cases (3.2%) were IgG4-associated liver disease. 21 cases (22.3%) of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD),15 cases (16.0%) of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), 6 cases (6.4%) of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), 1 case (1.1%) of AIH combined with MAFLD, hemochromatosis in 1 case (1.1%), Budd-Chiari syndrome (BSC) in 1 case (1.1%), and congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) in 1 case (1.1%), 1 case (1.1%) with idiopathic noncirrhotic portal hypertension(INCPH) and 4 cases (4.3%) were still with undetermined etiology. Conclusions AILD, MAFLD and DILI are the most common causes in patients with unknown causes of liver injury. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy plays an important role in defining the cause of unexplained liver injury.

Objective: To investigate the release of progastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) in patients with thyroid nodules and the value of ProGRP in fine-needle aspirate washout fluid (FNA-ProGRP) in the differential diagnosis between medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and non-MTC thyroid nodules. Methods: We investigated 2,446 healthy persons and 212 patients with 235 thyroid nodules. They were classified into healthy, nodular goiter, chronic thyroiditis, thyroid follicular neoplasm, papillary thyroid carcinoma, follicular thyroid carcinoma, and medullary thyroid carcinoma. The serum ProGRP and FNA-ProGRP were measured. Results: The serum ProGRP median concentration in MTC was 124.40 pg/mL, significantly higher than in other groups. The cutoff value of serum ProGRP was 68.30 pg/mL, leading to 53.85% sensitivity, 96.98% specificity, and 0.51 kappa value in MTC. The FNA-ProGRP median concentration in MTC nodules was 2,096.00 pg/mL, significantly higher than in other groups. A receiver operating characteristic analysis of MTC nodules and non-MTC nodules indicated that the cutoff value was 22.77 pg/mL, leading to 94.12% sensitivity, 98.27% specificity, and 0.85 kappa value. Conclusion: FNA-ProGRP measurement could be served as an ancillary method for the differential diagnosis between MTC and non-MTC thyroid nodules.

Objectives To investigate the role of routine follow-up urine cyfra21-1 detecting combined with ultrasonography in detection of recurrence in postoperative bladder transitional cell carcinoma patients.Methods Sixty seven patients under surveillance after reserved bladder operations were recruited from February 2004 to December 2006. Standard ECLIA was used to determine the concentration of urine cyfra21-1. Ultrasonography and cystoscopy were all performed several days thereafter. Cystoscopic biopsy findings were the golden standard for the detection of recurrence of bladder cancer.Results Twenty one patients were detected recurrent tumors by cystoscopic biopsy(31.3%). While 23 patients were positive by urine cyfra21-1 detecting, and 19 cases positive by ultrasonography. Combining urine cyfra21-1 measuring with ultrasonography, the positive cases rose to 26(38.8%), and only one case (4.76%) was omitted.Conclusions Routine follow-up cystoscopy may be partially replaced by urine cyfra21-1 detecting combined with ultrasonography to monitor the recurrence of bladder transitional cell carcinoma.
