Objective:To evaluate the blood flow patterns of peripulmonary lesions by color Doppler ultrasound and compare the differences of blood flow patterns between benign and malignant lesions.Methods:From June 2020 to July 2021, a total of 87 inpatients with peripulmonary lesions diagnosed by CT imaging examination were enrolled at Xi'an Chest Hospital, and all patients were confirmed by pathological diagnosis. The blood flow patterns of peripulmonary lesions were detected and classified using Colour Doppler ultrasound, which were divided into four types: type A, the presence of both intercostal artery blood supply patterns and dendritic reflux patterns of intrapulmonary veins in peripulmonary lesions; type B, the presence of intercostal artery blood supply pattern of peripulmonary lesions, but the absence of dendritic reflux of intrapulmonary veins; type C, the absence of intercostal artery blood supply pattern of lesions, but the presence of dendritic reflux pattern of intrapulmonary veins; type D, the absence of both intercostal artery blood supply pattern and dendritic reflux pattern of intrapulmonary veins in peripulmonary lesions. The differences of blood flow patterns between benign and malignant lesions were compared, and the value of blood flow patterns in distinguishing benign and malignant lesions was assessed by ROC curve analysis.Results:The blood flow patterns of 87 peripulmonary lesions were: type A in 19 cases, type B in 6, type C in 42, and type D in 20, of which 65 were benign (74.7%) and 22 were malignant (25.3%). By comparing the blood flow patterns of benign and malignant lesions, it was found that the dendritic reflux of intrapulmonary veins was the benign feature of peripulmonary lesions, and its constituent ratio was higher in the benign group than in the malignant group (90.8% vs 19.1%, χ2=53.332, P<0.001); the sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve of this pattern were 90.8%, 97.9%, and 0.908 (95% CI: 0.837-0.979, P<0.001), respectively. Intraoperative bleeding volume [510.0 (477.5730.0) ml] was significantly increased in patients with intercostal artery supply to the malignant lesion [400.0 (350.0, 450.0) ml] than patients without (Z=2.627, P=0.009).Conclusion:There are differences in blood flow patterns between benign and malignant peripulmonary lesions. The dendritic reflux pattern of intrapulmonary veins is a benign feature of peripulmonary lesions. The blood supply pattern of intercostal arteries in patients with malignant lesions increases the risk of intraoperative bleeding, which requires close clinical attention.
Objective:To explore the clinical value of bedside lung ultrasound in emergency-plus (BLUE-plus) for assessing pulmonary lesions of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on chest CT imaging.Methods:Total of 22 patients with COVID-19 admitted to Xi’an Chest Hospital (COVID-19 designated hospital in Xi’an) from January to February 2020 were dynamically examined by BLUE-plus, and compared with chest CT examination, the consistency and diagnostic accuracy were analyzed by Kappa test and ROC curve, respectively.Results:Among the 22 confirmed cases with COVID-19 according to BLUE-plus, the lesions were mostly distributed in the intersection of the posterior and lower blue dots and the ipsilateral posterior axillary line, which were named as posterolateral alveolar and/or pleural syndrome (PLAPS) point, and the consistent Kappa value between BLUE-plus and chest CT was 0.73 (95%CI: 0.442-1.018, P < 0.001). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of BLUE-plus on lung lesions were 94.7%, 83.3% and 93.2%. During the progressive period, the ultrasound image characteristics of patients with COVID-19 gradually changed from B ray to small patchy pulmonary consolidation, gradually aggravated to large sheet consolidation, and the bronchial inflation sign in the consolidation lesion was gradually reduced. The features of ultrasound image in recovery period of COVID-19 were opposite to the progressive period.Conclusions:BLUE-plus could be used to evaluate lung lesions and dynamic changes of patients with COVID-19. The application of ultrasound in these patients could provide dynamic imaging evidence in the evaluation of disease courses and therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To observe the effect of intrathoracic injection of urokinase on the separation of fibrous septa in the pleural effusion of patients with tuberculous pleurisy treated by ultrasound, and to explore the time rule and optimal drainage time node of fibrin strip separation in urokinase-dissolved pleural effusion. Methods A total of 147 patients with tuberculous pleurisy and pleural effusion with fiber strips influencing the drainage were selected. According to the full drainage volume on the day, 48 cases were divided into group A (fully diverted flow≤500 ml), 63 cases in group B (fully diverted flow 500~800 ml), and 36 cases in group C (fully diverted flow≥800 ml). All of them were injected with 200,000 units of urokinase. Then we analyzed the images under the guidance of ultrasound at the time points of before injection, and 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 1.5 h, 2.0 h, 2.5 h and 3.0 h after injection. The changes of the number of fibrous septa in pleural effusion at different time points were analyzed. Results After drug injection, the number of pleural effusion fibers in the 147 patients was compared at different time points, and there was a statistically difference (F=34.989, P=0.000). There was a statistical difference between before injection and 1.0 h after injection (t=6.274, P=0.000). There was a statistical difference between 0.5 h and 1.0 h after injection (t=3.300, P=0.001). There was no statistical difference between 1.0 h and 1.5 h, 2.0 h, 2.5 h, 3.0 h after injection (P>0.05). There were statistical differences between 1.0 h after injection in group A, B and C, and 0.5 h before injection and 0.5 h after injection (pre-drug comparison: t=-6.020, -4.331, 8.554; compared with 0.5 h after injection: t=-3.338, 2.613, 5.216; all P 0.05). Conclusion After injection of 200,000 units of urokinase, the fastest dissolution rate of fibrous septa in pleural effusion achieved with the first hour, and the dissolution effect was not obvious at 1.5 h after injection. Ultrasound is an effective method to observe the changes of fibrous septa dissolution in thoracic cavity in real time, and is worthy of clinical application.

A 32‐year‐old man was admitted to our hospital for repeated ab‐ dominal pain, diarrhea and symptoms of intestinal obstruction caused by invasive abdominal fibromatosis. The patient had been subjected to total colectomy for multiple polyps approximately 3 years previously. Two years later, he was pathologically diag‐ nosed as having abdominal fibromatosis. On December 13, 2016, tumor resection, pancreaticoduodenectomy and small bowel auto‐transplantation were successfully performed with 150 cm of segmental bowel autograft. Eight hours after the procedure, the patient complained of abdominal distention with an increased heart rate.
Objective:To discuss the value of the clinical data and hemodynamic indexes of uterine arteries in predicting adverse outcomes in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension(PIH).Methods:Eighty-seven PIH patients in second-third trimester complicated with fully follow-up materials were chosen for this study.The general clinical data were recorded.A series of dynamics indexes of uterine artery were detected by conventional abdominal ultrasound.All the patients were followed-up through the whole pregnant period.Eclampsia,fetal distress in uterus and early pregnancy termination were recorded as the adverse outcomes.The patients were divided into benign group and adverse group based on the outcomes.Results:Sixty-three PIH patients (72.4%) presented adverse outcomes during the followed-up period.The proportion of severe preeclampsia in adverse group increased significantly compared with the benign group (58.7% vs 20.8%,P=0.003).In adverse group,patients were more likely to have the early diastolic notch in both sides of uterine arteries compared to the patients in begin group (39.7% vs 16.7%,P=0.042).The PI,RI and S/D values of uterine artery were increased significantly in PIH patients presented adverse outcomes in late pregnancy (P<0.05).When the cut-off value of PI was 0.97,the sensitivity and specificity of predicting adverse outcomes were 50.8% and 83.8% respectively.When the cut-off value of RI was 0.51,the sensitivity and specificity of predicting adverse outcomes were 63.5% and 70.8% respectively;When the cut-off value of S/D was 2.1,the sensitivity and specificity of predicting adverse outcomes were 65.1% and 70.8% respectively.The multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that RI>0.51 was the independent predictive factor of adverse outcomes of PIH patients (OR=4.224,P=0.006).Conclusions:PIH can cause multiple hemodynamic changes.Hemodynamic changes of the uterine arteries which could be assessed by ultrasound has certain significance for the prognosis of PIH,and our study suggests that the RI could be the independent predictive factor of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Objective To investigate the basis of ultrasound microbubble technology enhanced thermal ablation effect.Methods All 48 rabbits bearing hepatic tumors were averagely randomly divided into four groups:only laser group,sham,destruction + laser group,and blank group.The filling defect area changes of before and after treatment were observed and the differences between groups were compared.Results Pathology confirmed ablation of tumor tissue could produce coagulation necrosis for experiment group.The conventional ultrasound showed there was no significant variation in the maximum diameter and area in the pre and post treatment of experiment group and control group(P >0.05).There was no change for the control group.Ultrasound imaging showed an area of filling defect were:laser treatment alone group (0.83 ± 0.06) cm2,microbubbles false break combined with laser therapy group (0.65 ± 0.05) cm2,microbubbles break combined with laser therapy group (2.40 ± 0.16)cm2,blank control group (0.01 ± 0.01) cm2.The filling defect area of the treatment group,which was combined with ultrasound microbubble break technology and laser ablation was increased,there was significant variation in the each group (P <0.05).Conclusions Microbubble burst combined laser ablation could expand the single needle laser ablation area of rabbit VX2 liver tumor and increase the therapeutic effect.
Background Only a small percentage of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may benefit out of surgical resection. Thus, lots of these patients are in need of local control, such as percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), percutaneous laser ablation (PLA), or radiofrequency thermal ablation (RF). Purpose To investigate the effects of ultrasound-guided PLA combined with PEI on rabbit VX2 liver tumors, using conventional gray-scale ultrasonography (US), color/power Doppler (CD/PD)US, contrast-enhanced (CE) US, and histologic examination. Material and Methods VX2 tumors were implanted in the livers of 80 rabbits. Fourteen days after implantation, animals were randomly separated into four groups of 20 rabbits. Treatment of the four groups was with: (i) PLA; (ii) PEI; (iii) combined therapy of PLA immediately followed by PEI; and (iv) combined therapy of PEI immediately followed by PLA. Conventional gray-scale US, CD US, PD US, and CE US were performed before and after ablation. The effects on ablated areas were assessed by histologic examination. Results Conventional gray-scale US showed a clear boundary around the ablated area in groups 1, 3, and 4. An isoechoic treated region with an irregular boundary was seen in group 2. On CE US, coagulated areas demonstrated a perfusion defect. Both conventional gray-scale US and CE US showed that the ablated volume in group 4 was larger than that in groups 1, 2, and 3. CD US and PD US demonstrated residual tumor in the periphery of ablated areas in groups 1 and 2, but not in groups 3 and 4. CE US demonstrated no residual tumor in group 4, unlike in groups 1, 2, and 3. Examination of treated tumors demonstrated necrosis in the ablated zones and increasing surrounding fibrous bands in the four treatment groups. Residual viable tissue in group 4 was less than that in groups 1, 2, and 3. Conclusion Combined therapy of PEI immediately followed by PLA can coagulate significantly larger volumes of tumor and reduce residual tumor.
Objective To investigate the long-term effect of triple organ transplantation (liver,kidney,and pancreas) in a patient with end-stage liver disease secondary to chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis combined with chronic renal failure and insulin-dependent diabetes,and explore the optimal surgical procedure.Methods A 43-year-old male patient presented with progressive ematiation and hypourocrinia for 2 months.Blood test showed ALT 117 U/L,AST 113 U/L,ALB 26.9 g/L,TBIL 102 μmol/L,BUN 23.6mmol/L,CRE 664 μmol/L.The fasting and postprandial plasma glucose were 10.8 mmol/L and 18.4mmol/L,respectively.Ultrasound and CT scan showed hepatic cirrhosis,hydroperitoneum,splenomegaly,enlarged caput pancreatic duct,expanded main pancreatic duct and renal atrophy.Nephorgram showed both kidneys were impaired severely.The eaminations indicated exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and insulin-dependent diabetes related to chronic pancreatitis (CP) after developing end-stage hepatic and renal failure.Simultaneous piggyback orthotopic liver and heterotopic pancreas-duodenum and renal transplantation was performed on 17-01-2005.Pancreatic exocrine secretions were drained enterically to the jejunum and the donor kidney was placed in left iliac fossa.Patient was prescribed prednisone,tacrolimus,mycophenolate mofetil,ATG (Rabbit Anti-human Thymocyte Immunoglobulin) and simulect for immunosuppression.Results Satisfied hepatic and pancreatic function was achieved within 7 days after surgery.The kidney did not function and CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy) was used.Subsequently,the donor kidney was removcd at day 16 after surgery due to acute rejection.The second renal transplantation at the same position was perfromed and the new graft kidney functioned 3 days later.The patient had no rejection reaction or other complications such as pancreatitis,thrombosis,or local infections during the following 8 years.The patient has become insulin independent with normal liver and renal functions.The immunosuppressive drugs FKS06+Pred was used and the tacrolimus level maintained 3.0-4.5 μmol/L,Lamivudine was long-term used to inhibition HBV virus duplication.Conclusions Simultaneous piggyback orthotopic liver combined with heterotopic pancreas-duodenum and renal transplantations is a good therapeutic option for patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and insulin-dependent diabetes combined with hepatic and renal failure.

Objective To test the feasibility of using microwave to produce rapid hemostasis of liver active bleeding. Methods Twelve new Zealand white rabbits were anesthetized, and their livers were exposed. After heparinized, the animals were randomly divided into 80 W group, 60 W group and control group. Guided by color Doppler ultrasonography, an 18 G semi-automatic biopsy needle was inserted into the hepatic parenchyma, injuring the hepatic parenchyma and small blood vessel to create active bleeding. There were about 3-5 hepatic active bleeding sites created in one animal. Paired comparisons were performed among three groups. The microwave antenna was posed to the bleeding site worked with 80 W or 60 W. A corresponding site of active bleeding in another animal without application of microwave served as a control. Significant differences of blood loss, hemostasis time and carbonization rate were tested. Results 80 W and 60 W groups showed significantly less mean blood loss than control group [(0.09±0.12)g vs (1.83±0.52)g, χ 2=25.00, P0.05;(0.10±0.10)g vs (1.83±0.52)g, χ 2=23.00, P 0.050]. There was no significant difference of blood loss between 80 W group and 60 W group (χ 2=2.00, P0.05). 80 W group had less hemostasis time than 60 W group [(13.1±4.2)s vs (18.3±7.9)s, T+=4.5000, T-=115.5000, P=0.000], but had higher carbonization rate than 60 W group (13/16 vs 5/16, χ 2=8.127, P=0.004). Conclusions Coagulation with microwave is a rapid and effective method to arrest hepatic active bleeding. Sixty W can effectively induce hemostasis without significant carbonization, and the time of duration is 10 s to 40 s.
Objective To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in differential diagnosis of hepatic hematoma and hepatic hemotoma with active bleeding.Methods New Zealand white rabbits(male,body weight 2.5-3.5 kg,n = 15) were heparinized and subsequently impacted with a self-made impactor to create hepatic blunt injury model.An 18 G semi-automatic biopsy needle was used to create hepatic active bleeding in 10 rabbits by injuring hepatic artery.Both unenhanced and contrast enhanced scanning were performed to evaluate the hepatic injury and search for hematomas and active bleeding sites.After that,the abdomen was opened to check if the injury of liver was identical with the results of sonographic studies.Results A total of 15 liver injury animal models were created,which included 5 cases of liver hematoma and 10 cases of liver hematoma with active bleeding.The 2-dimensional ultrasound imaging confirmed 9 cases of hematomas(9/15) but failed to suggest the presence of active bleeding(0/10),while contrast-enhanced imaging confirmed 15 hematomas(15/15) and identified 10 active bleeding(10/10).Active bleeding from contrast-enhanced imaging was displayed in the form that the contrast agent was extravasated from the injured liver parenchyma.The results of pathological examinations were basically matched with the results of sonographic studies.Conclusion It is demonstrated that CEUS is a rapid and effective diagnostic approach for differential diagnosis of hepatic hematoma and hepatic hematoma with active bleeding,wherein the existence of contrast agent active spillover is the main identification point.
