Objective:To explore the role of serum pyrrole-protein-adduct (PPA) in evaluating the severity and predicting the anticoagulant efficacy in patients with pyrrolidine alkaloid-related hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (PA-HSOS).Methods:From April 2018 to December 2019, the data of 48 patients with PA-HSOS admitted and treated at Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Medical College of Nangjing University were collected, which included PPA level, portal vein velocity (PVV), ascites grading, PA-HSOS severity grading (according to the new severity grading criteria for suspected hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome in adults by the European Society of Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation and adjusted) and the outcome of anticoagulation. Patients with acute onset (onset of symptoms within 1 month after consuming pyrrolizidine alkaloid-containing plants) were taken as research subjects. The combination of PPA with PVV or with ascites classification of PA-HSOS severity assessment model was fitted by logistic regression, and the logit values of 2 combination models were calculated, the formula was logit 1=0.034×PPA(nmol/L)+ 0.055×PVV(cm/s)-3.287, logit 2=0.039×PPA(nmol/L)-2.712×ascites grade 2 (Yes=1, No=0)-0.388×ascites grade 3 (Yes=1, No=0)-0.899. The patients received initial anticoagulation therapy at Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Medical College of Nanjing University were selected as research subjects. The anticoagulant efficacy prediction model of combination of PPA with serum creatinine (SCR) and with hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) was fitted by logistic regression, and the logit value was calculated, the formula was logit 3=0.013×PPA(nmol/L)+ 0.064×SCR (mol/L)+ 0.542×HVPG (mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)-16.005. The predictive value of PPA in evaluating the severity of PA-HSOS and anticoagulant efficacy was evaluated. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed for statistical analysis. Results:The serum PPA level of 48 patients was 10.81 nmol/L (3.91 nmol/L, 32.04 nmol/L). Among them, 33 cases (68.8%) were mild PA-HSOS, 3 cases (6.2%) were moderate PA-HSOS, no severe PA-HSOS case and 12 cases (25.0%) were very severe PA-HSOS. Among 23 patients received initial anticoagulant therapy at Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Medical College of Nanjing University and with complete data, 8 patients responded and survived, and 15 patients did not respond (5 patients died, 1 patient relieved after continue anticoagulant therapy, and 9 patients survived after switching to anticoagulant therapy and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) treatment). One patient without initial anticoagulant therapy, survived after TIPS treatment because of the progress of the disease. Area under the curve (AUC) of PPA to assess the severity of acute onset PA-HSOS was 0.75, 95% confidence interval ( CI) was 0.52 to 0.98 ( P=0.047). When PPA≥45.519 nmol/L, the specificity and sensitivity in evaluating severe and very severe PA-HSOS was 100.0% and 57.1%, respectively. AUC of combination of PPA and PVV to assess the severity of PA-HSOS was 0.77, 95% CI was 0.55 to 1.00 ( P=0.032). When the logit of combination model≥0.180, the specificity and sensitivity in evaluating severe and very severe PA-HSOS was 71.4% and 81.8%, respectively. AUC of combination of PPA and ascites grade (grade 1, 2 or 3) to assess the severity of PA-HSOS was 0.85, 95% CI was 0.63 to 1.00 ( P=0.005). When the logit of combination model≥0.347, the specificity and sensitivity in evaluating severe and very severe PA-HSOS was 85.7% and 92.0%, respectively. AUC of combination of PPA, SCR and HVPG to predict anticoagulation efficacy was 0.85, 95% CI was 0.69 to 1.00 ( P=0.009). When the logit≥0.393, the specificity and sensitivity in predicting anticoagulation efficacy was 62.5% and 91.7%, respectively. Conclusions:PPA can be used to assess the severity of acute onset PA-HSOS patients, and combined with ascites grading can significantly improve its efficiency. PPA combined with SCR and HVPG can better predict anticoagulant efficacy.
Objective:To develop an online interactive cytopathological training program, and to evaluate it for improving the cytopathological diagnostic ability of endoscopists in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of pancreas.Methods:A total of 5 500 cytopathological images were collected from 194 patients with pancreatic solid mass who underwent EUS-FNA in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from August 2018 to August 2019. The cell type in each cytopathological picture was labeled by senior cellular pathologists, which was used to build a learning and testing platform for online interactive cytopathological training. Five endoscopists without cytopathological background were invited to participate in this training. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of endoscopists in differential diagnosis of cancer and non-cancer before and after training were compared to evaluate the effect of the online interactive cytopathological training program on improving the ability of endoscopists in diagnosis of cytopathology.Results:A cytopathological training platform for endoscopists to learn and take online test was successfully built. Before training, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of diagnosis of cancer and non-cancer for endoscopists were 0.55 (95% CI: 0.53-0.58), 0.32 (95% CI: 0.30-0.35), 0.43 (95% CI: 0.41-0.45), 0.44 (95% CI: 0.41-0.47) and 0.43 (95% CI: 0.42-0.45), respectively. After training, the above indicators were 0.96 (95% CI: 0.95-0.97), 0.70 (95% CI: 0.68-0.73), 0.74 (95% CI: 0.72-0.76), 0.95 (95% CI: 0.94-0.96) and 0.81 (95% CI: 0.80-0.83), respectively, which were significantly improved compared with those before ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The online interactive cytopathological training program can improve the understanding and diagnostic ability of endoscopists in pancreatic cytopathology, help to implement rapid on-site evaluation in the process of EUS-FNA, and improve the diagnostic efficiency of EUS-FNA.
Objective:To investigate the relationship between hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and parameters of Doppler ultrasound in patients with pyrroidine alkaloid-related hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (PA-HSOS).Methods:From February 17, 2017 to April 22, 2020, the clinical data of 68 patients with PA-HSOS who underwent HVPG manometry and Doppler ultrasound examination at Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Medical College of Nanjing University were retrospectively analyzed, which included HVPG, Drum Tower severity scoring (DTSS), time from PA-HSOS related symptoms appeared to diagnosis after taking pyrroidine alkaloid (hereinafter referred to as diagnosis time), and parameters of Doppler ultrasound induding portal vein trunk diameter (PD), peak portal vein velocity (PPV), splenic vein trunk diameter (SD) and peak splenic vein velocity (PSV). Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to determine the optimal cut-off value of HVPG for predicting non-response to anticoagulation therapy. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for non-response to anticoagulation therapy, and Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the prognostic survival rate of patients with different HVPG levels. Unitary linear regression was applied to analyze the correlation of HVPG with PD, PPV, SD and PSV in patients with different HVPG levels, patients with mild, moderate and severe DTSS, and patients with diagnosis time >1 month or ≤ 1 month. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:The results of ROC analysis showed that the optimal cut-off value of HVPG for predicting non-response to anticoagulant therapy was 20.165 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). The result of multivariate analysis indicated that high HVPG (HVPG>20.165 mmHg) was an independent risk factor for predicting non-response to anticoagulant therapy ( OR (95% confidence interval)=6.039(1.466 to 24.869), P=0.013). Kaplan-Meier survival curve demonstrated that prognostic survival rate of patients with high HVPG was lower than that of patients with low HVPG (HVPG≤20.165 mmHg) (78.4% vs.96.8%), and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=4.74, P=0.030). The results of unitary linear regression analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between HVPG and PPV in 68 patients with PA-HSOS( r=-0.330, P=0.006); HVPG was positively correlated with PD and SD in patients with high HVPG ( r=0.540 and 0.341, P=0.001 and 0.039); there was a negative correlation between HVPG and PSV in patients with mild DTSS ( r=-0.519, P=0.019), HVPG was negatively correlated with PPV in patients with moderate DTSS ( r=-0.400, P=0.014). In patients with diagnosis time ≤1 month, there was a negative correlation between HVPG and PPV ( r=-0.391, P=0.010). Conclusions:HVPG can assist in judging the response to anticoagulation therapy and the prognosis of patients with PA-HSOS. Parameters of Doppler ultrasound can help to assess the degree of HVPG elevation in patients with PA-HSOS under certain conditions.

The magnetic device took 3.0 minutes from the beginning of preparation to the completion of the labeling, of which the magnetic labeling took 1.3minutes.After the traction was completed, it was about 4.5 minutes for completely cut.There were no complications such as bleeding and perforation.Conclusion:MAG-ESD can well expose the surgical field. This method is simple, effective, low cost, and suitable for further promotion.
ObjectiveTo investigate the prognostic and risk factors for cirrhotic patients undergoing recanalization due to shunt dysfunction after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 69 cirrhotic patients who were admitted to Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 2013 to February 2019 and underwent TIPS due to esophagogastric variceal bleeding and recanalization due to shunt dysfunction after TIPS. Related clinical data included preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data of TIPS and recanalization, stent parameters, hepatic venous pressure gradient, site of puncture of the portal vein, and laboratory markers. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to evaluate the cumulative rate of shunt dysfunction and cumulative survival rate after recanalization, and the log-rank test was used for comparison of cumulative patency rate between two groups. The Cox regression model was used to investigate the influencing factors for secondary shunt dysfunction and survival after recanalization. ResultsOf all patients undergoing recanalization, 28 (40.6%) experienced secondary shunt dysfunction and 15(217%) died. The median time to secondary shunt dysfunction was 11.3 months. The 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year cumulative incidence rates of secondary shunt dysfunction were 29.8%, 41.6%, 48.0%, and 52.7%, respectively, and the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year cumulative survival rates were 96.9%, 94.8%, 83.0%, and 62.6%, respectively. There was a significant difference in cumulative patency rate between the patients undergoing balloon dilatation of stent alone and those undergoing stent implantation (χ2=9.494, P=0.009). Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) grade before first TIPS, stent diameter for first surgery, and international normalized ratio (INR) and prothrombin time (PT) before recanalization were associated with secondary shunt dysfunction (all P<0.05), and an increase in INR before recanalization was an independent risk factor for secondary shunt dysfunction (hazard ratio [HR]=4.398, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.848-10.467, P=0.001), while stent implantation during recanalization was an independent protective predictor against secondary shunt dysfunction (HR=0.370, 95%CI: 0.194-0.704, P=0.002). CTP grade before first TIPS and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score were associated with patients’ survival after recanalization (both P<0.05), and an increase in MELD score was the only independent risk factor for death after recanalization (HR=1.293, 95%CI: 1.054-1.627, P=0.026). ConclusionFor patients undergoing recanalization due to shunt dysfunction after TIPS, stent implantation during recanalization is a reasonable choice, while an increase in MELD score is associated with poor prognosis of patients.
Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) is a kind of hepatic vascular disease which is characterized by damage to hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells, centrilobular hepatic vein and/or interlobular vein, resulting in stenosis or lumen occlusion, hepatic injury and acute sinusoidal portal hypertension. Generally, most patients with HSOS have mild manifestations, but in severely ill patients, the disease can lead to multiple organ dysfunction/failure, and the mortality rate can be as high as 70%-80%. Therefore, it is important to identify and treat HSOS as soon as possible. This paper introduces the current clinical diagnostic criteria of HSOS, including the Modified Seattle and Baltimore Criteria along with "Nanjing Criteria", and reviews their characteristics, scope of application and limitations.
Objective:To analyze the application value of rapid on-site evaluation by endoscopic physicians themselves (self-ROSE)of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for solid pancreatic lesions.Methods:Data of 124 consecutive patients who underwent EUS-FNA for solid pancreatic lesions from January 2017 to December 2017 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into self-ROSE group (n=60, patients who received self-ROSE from July to December in 2017) and non-self-ROSE group (n=64, patients who didn’t receive self-ROSE from January to June in 2017). Diagnostic efficiency including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy, the number of punctures and complication incidence of EUS-FNA in self-ROSE group and non-self-ROSE group was compared.Results:The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of EUS-FNA were 98.21% (55/56), 4/4, 100.00% (55/55), 4/5 and 98.33% (59/60), respectively in self-ROSE group. While in non-self-ROSE group, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were 81.82% (45/55), 9/9, 100.00% (45/45), 47.37% (9/19) and 84.38% (54/64), respectively. The sensitivity ( P=0.004) and accuracy ( P=0.009) were both significantly higher during EUS-FNA in self-ROSE group than those in non-self-ROSE group. There was a high degree of consistency between endoscopists and pathologists in the evaluation of sample satisfaction ( Kappa=1.000, P<0.05) and cytopathological diagnosis ( Kappa=0.815, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of punctures between the two groups (2.78±0.83 VS 2.61±0.75, P>0.05). No complication occurred in either group. Conclusion:Self-ROSE is valuable for EUS-FNA in the diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions, which could be an important strategy to increase the accuracy of EUS-FNA.
