ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors for the clinical outcome of patients with drug-induced liver injury （DILI）， and to establish a nomogram prediction model for validation. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the general information and laboratory data of 188 patients with DILI who were admitted to Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Harbin Institute of Technology from January 2017 to December 2022， and according to their clinical outcome， they were divided into good outcome group with 146 patients and poor outcome group with 42 patients. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups； the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the independent influencing factors for the clinical outcome of DILI patients. R Studio 4.1.2 software was used to establish a nomogram model， and calibration curve， receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve， and decision curve analysis （DCA） were used to perform internal validation. ResultsThe univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that liver biopsy for the diagnosis of DILI， platelet count， cholinesterase， albumin， prothrombin time activity， IgM， and IgG were associated with adverse outcomes in patients with DILI. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that liver biopsy for the diagnosis of DILI （odds ratio ［OR］=0.072， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.022 — 0.213， P<0.001）， clinical classification （OR=0.463， 95%CI： 0.213 — 0.926， P=0.039）， alanine aminotransferase （OR=0.999， 95%CI： 0.998 — 1.000， P=0.025）， prothrombin time activity （OR=0.973， 95%CI： 0.952 — 0.993， P=0.011）， and IgM （OR=1.456， 95%CI： 1.082 — 2.021， P=0.015） were independent influencing factors for clinical outcome in patients with DILI. The nomogram prediction model was established， and after validation， the calibration curve was close to the reference curve. The area under the ROC curve was 0.829， and the DCA curve showed that the model had good net clinical benefit. ConclusionThe nomogram prediction model established in this study has good clinical calibration， discriminative ability， and application value in evaluating the clinical outcome of patients with DILI.

Organ transplantation is the most effective treatment for all categories of end-stage organ diseases. To resolve the shortage of donors in organ transplantation, widespread attention has been diverted to xenotransplantation. At present, clinicians mainly highlight the problems related to xenotransplantation rejection and viral infection. The physiology of xenotransplantation has been rarely studied. Kidney performs endocrine function by producing erythropoietin (EPO), renin and activating vitamin D. Although these pathways are usually well preserved in allogeneic transplantation, species-specific differences, especially those between pigs and non-human primates, may still affect the physiological function of transplant organs. In this article, the changes of EPO, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and active vitamin D3 of pig and human after xenotransplantation were illustrated, aiming to provide reference for subclinical research of xenotransplantation.

Objective:To analyze the expression of mucin 1 (MUC1) and Ki67 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and to explore the correlations between the expression of MUC1 and Ki67 and the clinicopathological features and prognosis of ICC patients.Methods:Clinical data of 398 patients with ICC admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2013 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 104 patients were included in this study, including 67 males and 37 females, aged (56.6±9.3) years. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of MUC1 and Ki67 in cancer tissues. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to study the prognostic factors of ICC patients.Results:The expression of MUC1 was low in 65 patients and high in 39 patients. Ki67 expression was low in 52 patients and high in 52 patients. High expression of MUC1 was correlated with lymph node metastasis ( P<0.05), while high expression of Ki67 was correlated with tumor nodes number, lymph node metastasis and vascular invasion (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that ICC patients with high MUC1 expression ( HR=2.321, 95% CI: 1.420-3.792, P<0.001) and high Ki67 expression ( HR=2.012, 95% CI: 1.247-3.247, P=0.004) showed a poor prognosis after hepatectomy. ICC patients with high MUC1 expression ( HR=1.664, 95% CI: 1.058-2.618, P=0.028) and high Ki67 expression ( HR=1.883, 95% CI: 1.168-3.035, P=0.009) had a poor prognosis after hepatectomy. Conclusion:High expression of MUC1 and Ki67 is correlated with tumor growth and metastasis. MUC1 and Ki67 are independent risk factors for prognosis of ICC patients after hepatectomy.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine carcinoma of gallbladder (GB-NEC).Methods:The clinical data of 17 patients with GB-NEC confirmed by postoperative pathology managed at the People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2013 to January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 9 males and 8 females, with an age of (68.9±11.2) years. The clinical and follow-up data were analyzed.Results:The main clinical manifestations were abdominal pain ( n=9, 52.9%), anorexia ( n=5, 29.4%), jaundice ( n=2, 11.8%), abdominal mass ( n=2, 11.8%), and asymptomatic ( n=2, 11.8%). Radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma was performed in 9 patients, and palliative resection in 8 patients. Postoperative chemotherapy was given to 4 patients. Postoperative pathology showed small cell type in 11 patients and large cell type in 6 patients. Immunohistochemical staining showed synaptophysin positivity in 17 patients (100.0%), chromogranin A positivity in 12 (70.6%), Ki67 positivity in 17 patients (100%, >50% was defined as positive). All 17 patients were followed-up from 78 to 745 days, with a median of 237 days. At the time of censor of this study, 13 patients had died. The 1-and 2-year cumulative survival rates were 26.5% and 19.9%, respectively. The 1- and 2-year cumulative survival rates of radical gallbladder carcinoma resection ( n=9) were 44.4% and 33.3%, respectively. Eight patients underwent palliative resection, and the longest follow-up time was 276 days. Conclusion:This study showed the incidence of GB-NEC was low. There was no specific clinical manifestations, and the diagnosis mainly depended on immunohistochemistry. Patients with GB-NEC had high expressions of Ki67 and had poor prognosis. Early radical resection was helpful to improve survival of these patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in treating large primary hepatocellular carcinoma (LHCC) which is unsuitable for surgery or has poor response to radiofrequency ablation, interventional therapy, and other local treatments, and to identify the prognostic factors for survival. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 29 LHCC patients who received IMRT from April 2008 to August 2011. There were five fractions per week and the dose for each fraction was 2 to 6 Gy; the total dose was 50 to 70 Gy. The short-term efficacy and prognosis were observed and analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and the log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox regression model. ResultsThe complete remission, partial remission, stable disease, and disease progression rates were 3.57%, 32.14%, 53.57%, and 10.72%, respectively. The overall median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 6.43 months, and the median overall survival (OS) time was 11.43 months. The 1- and 2-year survival rates were 46.79% and 25.23%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed tumor response rate was an independent prognostic factor for PFS. The Cox proportional hazard model suggested the tumor response rate and prescribed dose were the independent prognostic factors for PFS. In addition, the independent prognostic factors for OS included tumor response rate, tumor diameter, and tumor volume. The common acute radiotherapy toxicities included gastrointestinal discomfort, radiation-induced liver damage, and myelosuppression. ConclusionIMRT is a safe and effective option for the LHCC patients who are unsuitable for surgery or in the cases that other local therapies fail.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of lipid emulsion on acute organophosphorus poisoning and its consequence of acute lung injury. Methods A total of 48 sealant - grade Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups A,B,C,D,namely saline control group,lipid emulsion control group,the conventional therapy group and lipid emulsion administration group. After dichlorvos (DDVP) 11 mg/kg was given by intra-peritoneal injection,if there was no loss of DDVP during the injection process,the model of poisoning was considered to be made successfully.Then the rat models in four groups were respectively treated:with normal saline (5 ml/kg) intravenous injection in group A,lipid emulsion (5ml/kg) intravenous injection in group B,atropine (5 mg/kg) and pralidoxime chloride (40 mg/kg) intramuscular injection in group C,and combined use of lipid emulsion (5 ml/kg) with atropine and pralidoxime chloride in group D after administration of DDVP by intra-peritoneal injection.The activity of cholinesterase (CHE) in blood was detected before and 0.5 h,2 h and 4 h after DDVP poisoning. The clinical manifestations,the survival of rats,the wet weight of rat' s lung and the pathological changes of the lung tissue were observed within following 24 h. The rates of survival and symptoms of rats were compared between paired groups by using the x2 test,and the mean values of biomarkers were compared paired groups by using t test. Results In groups A and B,the intensity of muscular fasciculation and salivation were more severe and appeared sooner after DDVP exposure in comparison with groups C and D leading to lower survival rates in group A and B. Compared with group C,the rate of 24 h survival was higher and the intensity of muscular fasciculation was weaker in group D ( P ＜ 0.05 ).In group A and group B,the 24-hour survival rates were 1/12 and 2/12,respectively ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The levels of CHE in blood significantly decreased after DDVP poisoning ( P ＜ 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in activity of CHE between group B and group A,and in groups C and D,the levels of CHE in blood were not significantly higher than that in the group B 0.5 h after DDVP poisoning ( P ＜ O.05 ).In groups C and D,the activity of CHE in blood was significantly higher compared with group A and B,and that in group D was higher compared with C,and that in group B was higher compared with A 2 and 4 hours after DDVP poisoning ( P ＜ 0.05 ).In groups C and D,the wet weight of rat lung was significantly lighter compared with groups A and B,and that in group D was lighter compared with C,and that in group B was lighter compared with A 24 h after DDVP poisoning P ＜ 0.05 ).The electron microscopic findings showed the combined use of lipid emulsion with atropine and pralidoxime chloride obviously lessened the lung histopathologic changes after DDVP poisoning.Conclusions The lipid emulsion combined with atropine and pralidoxime chloride can be beneficial to controlling the toxic symptoms,reduce the death rate,accelerate the resume of the activity of CHE in blood,and relieve the lung injury induced by acute organophosphorus poisoning.
