Bariatric surgery presents a significant alleviation for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which relies in part on achieving substantial weight loss in post-surgical period. We aimed to understand the effect of bariatric surgery on NAFLD remission via metabolomics and to validate the results in a general population-based cohort. In a pilot study, ten patients with NAFLD who underwent bariatric surgery were enrolled. The remission of hepatic steatosis was assessed by MRI-derived proton density fat fraction (PDFF) before and 3-month after surgery. Temporal associations of body mass index (BMI) reduction, alteration in metabolomic biomarkers, and NAFLD remission were quantified by using cross-lagged models, which were then validated in a general population-based cohort (n = 1258). At 3-month after surgery, BMI reduction of 6.9 (SD 1.9) kg/m2 and MRI-PDFF reduction of 9.6
BACKGROUND:Distinguishing bariatric surgical effects on reversing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remain unclear. To assess discrepancies in histological response and changes in magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) after bariatric surgery. METHODS:This prospective multicenter cohort included 138 NAFLD patients who underwent bariatric surgery and were followed up for 1 year. We obtained paired liver biopsy samples (n = 40), paired proteomic data (n = 23), and sequential MRI-PDFF at 3-, 6-, and 12-month (n = 80, 65, 52, respectively) follow-ups. RESULTS:At 1 year, a ≥2-point improvement in NAFLD activity score (NAS) was observed in 80.0% of patients; nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) improved without fibrosis worsening in 42.1%; fibrosis improved without NASH worsening in 78.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 66.0-91.2, 26.8-58.2, and 63.0-91.3) (all P <0.001). MRI-PDFF discriminated the presence and grading of hepatic steatosis (area under the curve [AUC], 0.94 and 0.95, respectively), indicating liver fat remission (<3.3% or 5.0% at 1 year) in 72.2% or 90.4% of patients (95% CI: 58.4%-83.5% or 78.9%-95.5%; all P <0.001). A ≥78.8% relative decline in MRI-PDFF within 1 year differentiated NAS improvement from non-NAS improvement (AUC, 0.912; 95% CI: 0.79-1.00). Compared to non-NASH remission, NASH remission was associated with significant pre- or postoperative regulation of protein expression levels. CONCLUSIONS:These findings can help evaluate the expected histological response, and aid in understanding the proteomic features resulting from the beneficial surgical effects on NAFLD and its advanced stages in patients with obesity.
Background:: The performance of automatic liver segmentation and manual sampling MRI strategies needs be compared to determine interchangeability. Objective:: To compare automatic liver segmentation and manual sampling strategies (manual whole liver segmentation and standardized manual region of interest) for performance in quantifying liver volume and MRI-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF), identifying steatosis grade, and time burden. Methods:: Fifty patients with obesity who underwent liver biopsy and MRI between December 2017 and November 2018 were included. Sampling strategies included automatic and manual whole liver segmentation and 4 and 9 large regions of interest. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Bland–Altman, linear regression, receiver operating characteristic curve, and Pearson correlation analyses were performed. Results:: Automatic whole liver segmentation liver volume and manual whole liver segmentation liver volume showed excellent agreement (ICC=0.97), high correlation (R2=0.96), and low bias (3.7%, 95% limits of agreement, -4.8%, 12.2%) in liver volume. There was the best agreement (ICC=0.99), highest correlation (R2=1.00), and minimum bias (0.84%, 95% limits of agreement, -0.20%, 1.89%) between automated whole liver segmentation MRI-PDFF and manual whole liver segmentation MRI-PDFF. There was no difference of each paired comparison of receiver operating characteristic curves for detecting steatosis (P=0.07–1.00). The minimum time burden for automatic whole liver segmentation was 0.32 s (0.32–0.33 s). Conclusion:: Automatic measurement has similar effects to manual measurement in quantifying liver volume, MRI-PDFF, and detecting steatosis. Time burden of automatic whole liver segmentation is minimal among all sampling strategies. Manual measurement can be replaced by automatic measurement to improve quantitative efficiency.
IntroductionFor childhood strabismus, early surgical intervention improves both motor and sensory outcomes. Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection is an alternative to incisional surgery that is fast, less invasive, and preserves a more normal biomechanical construct. This study was undertaken to assess the safety and effectiveness of BTX-A for horizontal concomitant strabismus in children in our institution.Patients and MethodsRecords of all children less than age 18 years with follow-up at least 12 months who were treated with BTX-A for horizontal concomitant strabismus at Beijing Children's Hospital between December 2014 and February 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Bilateral injections of BTX-A (Henli, 1.25 IU to 5 IU/0.1 ml) were made into the medial or lateral rectus muscles according to the angle of deviation. Reinjection was permitted if the initial alignment was not satisfactory within 1 to 6 months post-injection. Motor success was defined as a final misalignment <= 10 PD. Sensory success was defined as the presence of any evidence of sensory fusion, distance stereopsis, or near stereopsis at the last visit.ResultsSeventy-one patients were included. Fifty-two had esotropia, and 19 had exotropia. There was a significant decrease in the angle of deviation in all treated patients. The overall motor success rate was 60.6%. The motor success rate was highest in children with esotropia <50 PD (81.5%). Motor success was better for children with partially accommodative esotropia and acquired non-accommodative esotropia (80%, 83.3%, respectively) than for children with infantile esotropia (47.4%). Compared with the esotropia group, the fusion was significantly higher in the exotropia group (p = .007), and the proportion of patients with stereoacuity of better than 100 sec arc was higher also in the exotropia group (71.4%, p = .007), evidence of sensory outcomes were significantly better in the exotropia group. Complications were few. Twenty patients (28.2%) developed transient ptosis after injections; transient vertical deviations were seen in 3 patients (4.2%); and subconjunctival hemorrhage was seen in 5 patients (7%).ConclusionsBTX-A appears to be an effective treatment for the management of horizontal strabismus with motor outcomes best in children with acquired smaller-angle esodeviations. Children with exodeviations had better sensory outcomes in this cohort. A randomized controlled study comparing incisional surgery to BTX-A will be important for guiding future treatment decisions.

Introduction Upper abdominal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is appropriate for body composition analysis.[1] Especially for individuals with obesity, it is of great value to quantify the hepatic proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and the amount of abdominal adipose tissue during clinical evaluation and for research on obesity-related risks. Analytical results may be used to determine the optimal choice of surgical procedure and evaluate treatment outcomes. Multiple artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and systems have been developed for the automated measurement of body composition. The basis of AI development and application is to have uniform standards for clinical data acquisition and management. The uneven quality of MR images is one of the major obstacles to AI system development and analytical results. A standardized process of MR scanning and clinical data management is urgently needed. Purpose and Target Audience This guideline aims to standardize data acquisition, utilization, and storage for AI systems that target the automatic quantification of body composition. This guide is recommended for surgeons, clinical researchers, and radiologists who focus on body composition analysis and obesity-related topics, for example, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and bariatric surgery. Data Acquisition and Evaluation The standardized data acquisition process guarantees high-quality MR images for AI analysis. An image used for AI labeling and clinical diagnosis must follow the basic process mentioned in the following sections. Subject preparation Patients should have an empty stomach before MR scanning. Metal articles should be removed. For overweight subjects with a large waist circumference, wide-bore MR equipment is preferred. According to clinical practice experience, if the patient is >125 kg, doctors or technicians should carefully evaluate the feasibility of upper abdominal MR examination. One challenge is that the bore may not be sufficiently large to accommodate the subject's abdomen. Furthermore, it may be difficult for the patient to hold their breath during MR examination, leading to significant motion artifacts. MR parameter setting A 3.0-T or 1.5-T MR device is preferred for data acquisition. The standard parameters for MR examination for AI analysis are listed in Supplementary Table 1, https://links.lww.com/CM9/A951. PDFF is a reliable measure that can be used to accurately evaluate hepatic steatosis.[2] The Dixon image is 3-dimensional with high resolution. The fat image at the axial level of lumbar 1 to lumbar 2 (L1–L2) intervertebral disc on the Dixon image is considered the best choice for quantifying adipose tissue.[1] If a 1.5-T MR device cannot perform 3-dimensional Dixon imaging, dual-echo scanning is also available. Availability of the MR image for AI quantification All acquired images should be saved in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format, as the slice thickness and other important information can be stored. The image quality required by the AI analysis is similar to that required for clinical diagnosis. Overall, images with significant artifacts are judged not acceptable. The other requirements for different applications are listed in the following sections. The image quality required for PDFF quantification is usually high.[1] For AI analysis of hepatic PDFF, the first step is to recognize the margin of the liver parenchyma. For patients with hepatic steatosis over grade 2 (PDFF >17.4%),[2] the signal intensity of the liver parenchyma is significantly higher than that of the vessels and adjacent organs. As a result, the margin of the liver is relatively easy for the AI system to recognize. However, for patients with hepatic steatosis grade 1 (6.4% < PDFF ≤ 17.4%),[2] the margin of the liver parenchyma is difficult to recognize. Therefore, AI annotation may not be precise. For subjects without hepatic steatosis (PDFF ≤6.4%),[2] AI annotation may fail if only based on PDFF images. The principles and examples of different degrees of hepatic steatosis are listed in Supplementary Table 2, https://links.lww.com/CM9/A951. According to the recently developed appropriateness criteria, a Dixon sequence image of fat at the axial level of the L1–L2 intervertebral disc can be used for abdominal adipose tissue quantification.[1] It is essential to cover the skin of the abdomen; otherwise, subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) cannot be measured. Owing to an insufficient field of view, parallel acquisition, or an uneven magnetic field, the quality of the image may vary. The principles and examples of different image quality degrees are shown in Supplementary Table 3, https://links.lww.com/CM9/A951. Comprehensive evaluation of MR image quality Quality evaluation of both the PDFF and fat images should be considered. These principles are listed in Supplementary Table 4, https://links.lww.com/CM9/A951. Annotation standards Image for PDFF quantification The whole liver parenchyma should be included. Large vessels, local lesions, regions beyond the margin of the liver, and imaging artifacts should be avoided [Figure 1A].Figure 1: Examples of annotation. (A and B) Annotated areas on a PDFF image. The whole parenchyma of the liver is Included. Large vessels, local lesions, regions beyond the margin of the liver, and imaging artifacts are avoided. Different segments of the liver are also annotated. (C and D) Annotated areas on a fat image of the Dixon sequence at the axial level of the L1–L2 intervertebral disc. The red color represents SAT (19,287 mm2), while the green color represents VAT (9718 mm2). L1–L2: Lumbar 1 to lumbar 2; PDFF: Proton density fat fraction; SAT: Subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT: Visceral adipose tissue.The average PDFF value can be calculated by averaging the values of all voxels included in the region of interest. Since the PDFF value and its change after bariatric surgery vary in different parts of the liver,[3] AI systems are being developed to record the values of different liver segments [Figure 1B]. Image for abdominal adipose tissue quantification Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and SAT can be recognized and labeled. Different regions of interest, for example, muscle, can also be defined for analysis [Figure 1C and 1D]. The images can be labeled automatically using AI[4] or manually using ITK-SNAP 3.8.0 software (http://www.itksnap.org/). Since a single slice of an MR image is volumetric, the value acquired after labeling is influenced by slice thickness. The volume is calculated as the Supplementary formulas, https://links.lww.com/CM9/A951. Database management For clinical follow-up and research, it is recommended to set up a database to manage clinical data and MR images. Data registry The clinical and radiological data should be registered in a standardized database. For example, there is a prospective national registry database named the “Greater China Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Database” (GC-MBD®) (Clinicaltrial.gov: NCT03800160) where data of >10,000 cases have been recorded. Data quality control The database needs a committee to hold regular meetings to discuss issues concerning quality control. It is highly recommended that a multidisciplinary team achieve a consensus on the variables in the database. For example, according to the consensus of surgeons, radiologists, clinical researchers, and statisticians, variables that should be documented in the GC-MBD include, but are not limited to, structured demographic information, laboratory tests, PDFF values, VAT and SAT values, biological sample information, and adverse event records. Upper abdominal MR images in the DICOM format should also be uploaded. Before data entry, it is essential for the team's main participants to undergo training. The manager of the database should check and verify the authenticity, accuracy, and integrity of all information according to the source data. Data modification traces should be recorded in the system. After verification, the data should be locked. Discussion There are three key points in AI analysis of body composition using upper abdominal MR images: uniform data acquisition standards, imaging annotation, and database management. This guideline will promote the development and application of AI systems for the automatic quantification of PDFF and abdominal adipose tissue. The PDFF value can significantly influence the availability of PDFF images. For patients without hepatic steatosis, the grayscale contrast between the hepatic parenchyma and vessels is insufficient to train the neural network of the AI system. New strategies may solve this problem. For example, the liver may need to be registered with other higher contrast sequences (eg, axial T1-weighted imaging[5] or portal venous phase of contrast-enhanced imaging[6]) to achieve margin recognition for the AI system. As such, additional MR sequences and related parameter standards are required. Whole-body MR imaging can precisely quantify the volume of adipose tissue. For timesaving, scanning and analyzing a single-slice abdominal MR is preferred. Since imaging annotation for AI analysis requires only a single slice image of fat, we can acquire a single slice at the axial level of the L1–L2 intervertebral disc during the Dixon sequence acquisition to achieve further reduction of scanning time.

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based proton density fat fraction (PDFF) has become popular for quantifying liver fat content. However, the variability of the region-of-interest (ROI) sampling strategy may result in a lack of standardisation of this technology. In an effort to establish an accurate and effective PDFF measurement scheme, this study assessed the pathological correlation, the reader agreement, and time-burden of different sampling strategies with variable ROI size, location, and number. Six-echo spoiled gradient-recalled-echo magnitude-based fat quantification was performed for 50 patients with obesity, using a 3.0-T MRI scanner. Two readers used different ROI sampling strategies to measure liver PDFF, three times. Intra-reader and inter-reader agreement was evaluated using intra-class correlation coefficients and Bland‒Altman analysis. Pearson correlations were used to assess the correlation between PDFFs and liver biopsy. Time-burden was recorded. For pathological correlations, the correlations for the strategy of using three large ROIs in Couinaud segment 3 (S3 3L-ROI) were significantly greater than those for all sampling strategies at the whole-liver level (P < 0.05). For inter-reader agreement, the sampling strategies at the segmental level for S3 3L-ROI and using three large ROIs in Couinaud segment 6 (S6 3L-ROI) and the sampling strategies at the whole-liver level for three small ROIs per Couinaud segment (27S-ROI), one large ROI per Couinaud segment (9L-ROI), and three large ROIs per Couinaud segment (27S-ROI) had limits of agreement (LOA) < 1.5%. For intra-reader agreement, the sampling strategies at the whole-liver level for 27S-ROI, 9L-ROI, and 27L-ROI had both intraclass coefficients > 0.995 and LOAs < 1.5%. The change in the time-burden was the largest (100.80 s) when 9L-ROI was changed to 27L-ROI. For hepatic PDFF measurement without liver puncture biopsy as the gold standard, and for general hepatic PDFF assessment, 9L-ROI sampling strategy at the whole-liver level should be used preferentially. For hepatic PDFF with liver puncture biopsy as the gold standard, 3L-ROI sampling strategy at the puncture site segment is recommended.
OBJECTIVE:Patients undergoing liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within the Milan criteria have an excellent outcome. We developed a program to analyze and prove that the Milan criteria can be expanded safely and effectively.METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed 117 HCC patients treated with liver transplantation between January 2013 and December 2017. Patients were grouped according to the Milan criteria, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) criteria, Up-to-seven criteria and Hangzhou criteria. Tumor-free and overall survival rates were investigated with a Kaplan-Meier analysis. Multivariable regression Cox models produced survival estimates for the patients that exceeded the Milan criteria.RESULTS:The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates of patients fulfilling the Milan criteria (n=44) were 100%, 87.5% and 78.9%, respectively. Compared with the Milan criteria, the UCSF criteria (n=50), Up-to-seven criteria (n=51) and Hangzhou criteria (n=86) provided an expansion of 13.6%, 15.9% and 95.9%, respectively. The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates of patients fulfilling UCSF criteria, Up-to-seven criteria and Hangzhou criteria were 96.0%, 84.9%, 76.9%; 96.1%, 85.2%, 77.6% and 97.7%, 83.9%, 66.7%, respectively (P>0.05). Multifactor Cox regression showed that tumor diameter and microvascular invasion were independent risk factors for survival in patients that exceeded the Milan criteria.CONCLUSION:Compared with the Milan criteria, the Hangzhou criteria can safely expand the scope of liver transplantation for HCC to a certain extent. By contrast, the UCSF criteria and Up-to-seven criteria result in a limited number of patients which need further expansion. Tumor diameter and microvascular invasion were the independent risk factors for survival in patients that exceeded the Milan criteria.
本文回顾性分析2013年1月至2019年12月在首都医科大学附属北京朝阳医院肝胆外科因胰头癌行胰十二指肠切除术的154例患者的临床及随访资料。根据患者术前CA19-9/GGT与1年生存情况绘制ROC曲线,确定CA19-9/GGT的最佳cut-off值,并以此将患者分为低比值组和高比值组。单因素及多因素分析筛选出CA19-9/GGT( RR=1.842,95% CI:1.081~3.193)和淋巴结转移( RR=1.780,95% CI:1.118~2.835)是影响胰头癌术后远期生存的独立预后因素。本研究显示CA19-9/GGT相对于单纯CA19-9而言,在判断胰头癌远期生存方面更具有价值。

PURPOSE:Pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with portal vein resection for distal cholangiocarcinoma is rarely reported because it is a rare disease. We developed a program to evaluate the vascular invasion type, operation procedure, and long-term survival of distal cholangiocarcinoma patients with portal vein invasion.METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed data for 123 distal cholangiocarcinoma patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy between January 2013 and December 2019. Portal vein system invasion was confirmed pathologically in 17 patients.RESULTS:Multivariable Cox regression identified tumor differentiation degree, portal vein system invasion, and lymph node metastasis as independent risk factors affecting long-term survival. The 1- and 2-year overall survival rates for patients without and with portal vein system invasion were 79.7% and 58.9%, and 48.6% and 10.8%, respectively. Median overall survival in patients without and with portal vein system invasion was 33 months and 12 months, respectively.CONCLUSION:Portal vein system invasion is an important independent risk factor affecting long-term survival in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma. Pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with portal vein system resection and reconstruction did not increase the incidence of perioperative complications or mortality.

目的 检测Myc相互作用的锌指蛋白1(MIZ1)在重症和非重症社区获得性肺炎(CAP)患者外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)中的表达水平,探究其与炎症因子的关系.方法 纳入2018年4月至2019年6月在北京朝阳医院感染和临床微生物科和呼吸科住院治疗的CAP患者36例,收集患者的PBMC,提取PBMC中的总RNA并用逆转录-定量聚合酶链式反应测量PBMC中MIZ1 mRNA的水平.部分患者用酶联免疫吸附试验检测血清白细胞介素(IL)-6、IL-8、IL-10和α干扰素等炎症因子的水平.对比重症与非重症CAP患者MIZ1 mRNA和炎症因子的水平的差异.结果 相比非重症CAP患者,重症CAP患者PBMC中MIZ1 mRNA的表达水平更低(P<0.05).根据CAP为重症或非重症计算PBMC中MIZ1 mRNA的表达水平的受试者工作特征曲线,曲线下面积为0.731,P=0.018.重症CAP患者中MIZ1 mRNA与IL-10水平呈负相关(n=11,Spearman相关系数为-0.620,P<0.05).结论 MIZ1与CAP病情的严重程度相关,可作为重症CAP的潜在标志物;MIZ1可能通过影响IL-10来发挥炎症调控的作用.
Objective:To explore the influence of fatty liver donor on the prognosis of benign liver disease liver transplantation.Methods:The clinical data of 229 recipients and donors who underwent liver transplantation at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2015 to December 2019 due to benign liver diseases were retrospectively analyzed. According to the degree of fatty degeneration of the donor liver, the patients were divided into non-fatty liver group( n=168), mild-medium fatty liver group( n=43), and severe fatty liver group( n=18). First, the overall prognosis after liver transplantation was analyzed, the general data of the donor and recipient were compared, and the perioperative complications of the three groups were compared. Finally, survival analysis was performed to compare the long-term prognosis of the three groups. Measurement data with the normal distribution were represented as ( Mean± SD), comparisons among groups were analyzed using t test. Comparisons of counting data between groups were analyzed using chi-square test. The theoretical frequency was less than 1. Fisher exact probability method was used, and variance analysis was used for the comparison among the multiple groups. Results:The overall 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates of the patients were 86.9%, 70.7%, 70.7%, respectively, and the average survival time was 53.1 months. The general data of donors and recipients were not significantly different among the three groups. The probability of perioperative transplanted liver failure, delayed liver function recovery, and acute kidney injury in recipients with severe fatty liver was significantly higher than that of mild to moderate fatty liver group and non-fatty liver group ( P<0.05). The results of survival analysis showed that the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates of the non-fatty liver group were 90.5%, 71.7%, 71.7%, the mild-moderate group were 88.4%, 76.7%, 64.0% and the severe fatty liver group were 61.1%, 49.4%, 49.4%, the survival rate of patients with severe fatty liver was significantly lower than that of the other two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Donor weight-grade steatosis leads to a higher incidence of transplanted liver failure, delayed liver function recovery, acute kidney injury, and worse long-term prognosis.
Objective:This research aimed to study the relationship between preoperative CA19-9/GGT ratio and postoperative long-term survival in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 121 patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma who underwent radical pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2013 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The ROC curve was drawn based on the preoperative CA19-9/GGT ratio and postoperative 1-year survival. Using the best cut-off value of CA19-9/GGT ratio, the 121 patients were divided into two groups: the low ratio group (CA19-9/GGT≤0.12, n=53) and the high ratio group (CA19-9/GGT>0.12, n=68). The clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors of long-term survival were analyzed. Results:There were 72 male and 49 female patients, aged (64.9±9.2) years. When compared with the high ratio group, the low ratio group had significantly less requirement for preoperative jaundice reduction, lower CA19-9, higher GGT, better tumor differentiation, and more patients without lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). The median follow-up time was 26 months. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates of the low vs. high ratio groups were 89.4% vs. 64.7%, 64.4% vs. 14.1%, 48.7% vs. 14.1%, respectively (all P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that CA19-9/GGT ratio>0.12 ( RR=2.802, 95% CI: 1.494-5.256), poor differentiation ( RR=1.855, 95% CI: 1.106-3.111) and lymph node metastasis ( RR=1.891, 95% CI: 1.129-3.169) were independent risk factors for long-term survival ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The ratio of CA19-9/GGT could be used as an index to predict long-term survival of patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma after PD. The smaller the ratio, the better was the long-term prognosis.
