RESUMO
With the accelerated aging society in China, the incidence of biliary surgical diseases in the elderly has increased significantly. The clinical characteristics of these patients indicate that improving treatment outcomes and realizing healthy aging are worthy of attention. How to effectively improve the treatment effect of geriatric biliary surgical diseases has attracted widespread attention. This paper reviews and comments on the hotspots and difficulties of biliary surgery in older patients from six aspects: (1) higher morbidity associated with an aging society, (2) prevention and control of pre-operative risks, (3) extending the indications of laparoscopic surgery, (4) urgent standardization of minimally invasive surgery, (5) precise technological progress in hepatobiliary surgery, and (6) guarantee of peri-operative safety. It is of great significance to fully understand the focus of controversy, actively make use of its favorable factors, and effectively avoid its unfavorable factors, for further improving the therapeutic effects of geriatric biliary surgical diseases, and thus benefits the vast older patients with biliary surgical diseases. Accordingly, a historical record with the highest age of 93 years for laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration has been created by us recently.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of preoperative inflammatory indicators for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 73 patients with primary HCC who underwent radical partial hepatectomy in the Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital of Tsinghua University from December 2014 to July 2019 were collected. There were 57 males and 16 females, aged from 33 to 81 years, with a median age of 58 years. Results of blood examination indicators at the first time in hospital were determined for patients. Observation indicators: (1) the best cut-off values of?? preoperative inflammatory indicators calculated by the maximally selected rank statistics; (2) follow-up; (3) influencing factors for prognosis of HCC patients; (4) comparison of clinicopathological parameters of HCC patients; (5) comparison of predictive value for overall survival. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination and telephone interview to determine postoperative survival of patients up to September 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). The best cut-off values ??for continuous variables were obtained using the maximally selected rank statistics based on survival at endpoint of follow-up. Count data were represented as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates, and Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Univariate analysis was performed using the Log-rank test. Multivariate analysis was performed using the COX proportional hazard model. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to compare the predictive value of independent prognostic factors. Results:(1) The best cut-off values of?? preoperative inflammatory indicators calculated by the maximally selected rank statistics: the best cut-off values of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and prognostic nutrition index (PNI) were 3.46, 131.05, and 45.65. (2) Follow-up: 73 patients were followed up for 31 months (range, 2-57 months). Twenty patients died during the follow-up. (3) Influencing factors for prognosis of HCC patients: results of univariate analysis showed that NLR, PNI, tumor diameter, and tumor differentiation degree were related factors affecting prognosis of patients ( χ2=10.213, 4.434, 5.174, 4.306, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that NLR and tumor differentiation degree were independent factors affecting prognosis of patients ( hazzard ratio=4.429, 13.278, 95% confidence interval as 1.662-11.779, 1.056-10.169, P<0.05). (4) Comparison of clinicopathological parameters of HCC patients: of 73 patients, 64 cases had NLR<3.46 and 9 cases had NLR≥3.46. Cases with tumor length >5 cm or ≤5 cm, neutrophils, lymphocytes were 23, 41, (2.9±1.2)×10 9/L, (1.7±0.6)×10 9/L for 64 patients with NLR<3.46, versus 8, 1, (5.8±2.9)×10 9/L, (1.0±0.3)×10 9/L for 9 patients with NLR≥3.46; there were significant differences in above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=7.017, t=2.982, -3.168, P<0.05). (5) Comparison of predictive value for overall survival: time-dependent ROC curves of NLR and tumor differentiation degree for 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-year survival rates had the area under curve of 0.735,0.611, 0.596, 0.574 and 0.554, 0.583, 0.572, 0.556, respectively. NLR had better predictive value for overall survival of patients than tumor differentiation degree. Conclusion:Preoperative NLR is an independent factor affecting prognosis patients, and its predictive efficacy is better than tumor differentiation degree.
RESUMO
The sudden outbreak of novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) increased the diagnostic burden of radiologists. In the time of an epidemic crisis, we hoped artificial intelligence (AI) to help reduce physician workload in regions with the outbreak, and improve the diagnosis accuracy for physicians before they could acquire enough experience with the new disease. Here, we present our experience in building and deploying an AI system that automatically analyzes CT images to detect COVID-19 pneumonia features. Different from conventional medical AI, we were dealing with an epidemic crisis. Working in an interdisciplinary team of over 30 people with medical and / or AI background, geographically distributed in Beijing and Wuhan, we were able to overcome a series of challenges in this particular situation and deploy the system in four weeks. Using 1,136 training cases (723 positives for COVID-19) from five hospitals, we were able to achieve a sensitivity of 0.974 and specificity of 0.922 on the test dataset, which included a variety of pulmonary diseases. Besides, the system automatically highlighted all lesion regions for faster examination. As of today, we have deployed the system in 16 hospitals, and it is performing over 1,300 screenings per day.
RESUMO
The current epidemic of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) poses a serious threat to people′s health and lives. Following the national policies and deployment, medical community in China invests large amounts of medical resources to help Hubei. However, some hospitals nationwide have suspended outpatient and inpatient services. The authors analyze the underlying causes of suspension of medical services and its harm to patients, and summarize the optimization of disease diagnosis and treatment during the COVID-19 outbreak. In further, they propose reasonable suggestions on safe medical management in general hospitals outside the epidemic area, in order to attract the attention of medical institutions and medical colleagues.

RESUMO
Pyroptosis is a form of new programmed cell death which is dependent on Caspase-1 in recent years.When it' s stimulated by various dangerous signals from hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury,the intracellular pattern recognition receptors are assembled into inflammasomes and Caspase-1 which was transformed into active form.Activated Caspase-1 promotes the maturation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18,initiates the innate immunity rapidly and then induces severe inflammatory reaction.In addition,Caspase-1 can also cleave Gasdermin D and release its N-terminal domain triggering pyroptosis.Many studies showed that pyroptosis play a crucial role in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury.In this review,we discussed the activation mechanism and research progress of pyroptosis in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Combination of multi-model imaging technologies may improve visual result of anatomical information of biliary tract. More resolvable, legible, and sequential imaging technology of biliary system remains further study. This article reviews various cholangiography methods widely used in the clinical setting.
RESUMO
At present,it is not uncommon for patients with biliary dilatation who have failed to undergo multiple operations in clinic.Dong's classification has a definite guiding significance for choosing appropriate surgical methods.Active hepatectomy with "tailor-made" treatment can cure refractory biliary dilatation involving intrahepatic bile ducts.At present,there are still some controversies about the range of hepatectomy and the management of type D lesions in children.At the same time,we should pay close attention to the long-term complications after dilated bile duct resection.
RESUMO
Objective To summarize the clinicopathological characteristic,diagnosis and treatment of iatrogenic biliary tree destruction.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinical data of 11 patients with iatrogenic biliary tree destruction who were admitted to the Chinese PLA General Hospital (9 patients) between January 1990 and December 2013 and Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital (2 patients) between December 2014 and May 2017 were collected.Observation indicators:(1) causes and parts of destruction;(2) clinical manifestation;(3) imaging performance;(4) treatment;(5) follow-up.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect long-term prognosis of patients up to April 2018.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Results (1) Causes and parts of iatrogenic biliary tree destruction:causes of iatrogenic biliary tree destruction in 11 patients:transcatheter arterial embolization for hepatic hemangioma was performed in 7 patients,high intensity focused ultrasound for hepatic hemangioma in 1 patient,arterial embolization for false aneurysm in 1 patient,sclerosant injection for hepatic echinococcosis in 1 patient,and cyberknife radiotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma in 1 patient.Parts of biliary tree destruction of 11 patients:5,3,2 and 1 respectively involved bilateral biliary tree,right biliary tree,bilateral main biliary ducts in hepatic port and left biliary tree.(2) Clinical manifestation:11 patients had symptoms of recurrent chills and fever,and combined with different degrees of jaundice.The initial symptom occurred in 2 weeks to 3 months after iatrogenic biliary tree destruction.Of 11 patients,7 were complicated by different degrees of hepatic abscess,and abscess involving left and right half liver were detected in 4 patients,aggregating in right half liver in 2 patients and aggregating in left half liver in 1 patient.Eight patients had secondary biliary cirrhosis,portal hypertension,splenomegaly and hypersplenism during the late course of disease.(3) Imaging performance:magnetic resonanced cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP) and cholangiography examinations showed missing bile duct in necrosis area,beading-like stricture and dilation of damaged biliary tree,reducing proximal bile duct branches and associated gallbladder necrosis.CT and MRI examinations showed that structure of distribution area of damaged biliary tree disappeared or bile duct wall was thickened,and hepatic abscesses of patients were scattered and multiple.Five patients had significantly secondary liver atrophy-hypertrophic syndrome,showing atrophy of right liver and hyperplasia of left liver.Radiotherapy-induced biliary tree destruction showed a characteristic of continued progress,localized abnormality in the early stage and typical imaging changes after the damage stability in the late stage.(4) Treatment:of 11 patients,4 didn't undergo surgery,and 7 underwent 18 intentional and conclusive surgeries (1-4 times / per case).(5) Follow-up:11 patients were followed up for 2-132 months,with a median time of 73 months.During the follow-up,2,1 and 8 patients had respectively excellent,good and poor prognoses.Among 11 patients,4 died (2 died of severe infection and 2 died of biliary cirrhosis),and 7 survived.Conclusions Iatrogenic biliary tree destruction is easy to cause hepatic abscess,liver atrophy-hypertrophic syndrome or biliary cirrhosis,and it can be diagnosed by imaging examination.The definitive treatment should be followed by liver resection or liver transplantation of involving area according to the extent of damage.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the clinical features and definitive repair strategies of bile duct strictures after hepatectomy.Methods The clinical data of patients undergoing definite repair for bile duct strictures after hepatectomy in the PLA General Hospital from 2000 to 2014 and Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from 2014 to 2017 were retrospectively collected.Results Twenty-one patients with bile duct stricture after hepatectomy were treated with reoperation.Among them,13 cases showed continuous bile leakage after operation.The types of hepatectomy include 10 cases of left or extended left hemihepatectomy,7 cases of right or extended right hemihepatectomy,2 cases of mesohepatectomy,and 2 cases of hepatic caudate labectomy.According to classification formulated by the Biliary Surgery Group of Chinese Medical Association,the types of injuries of the patients included four of Ⅱ 2,twelve of Ⅱ 3,and five of Ⅱ 4 respectively.19 of 21 patients underwent definitive repair with hepaticojejunostomy.The long-term follow-up success rate was 89.0%.Conclusions Biliary injury after hepatectomy in which the injury affects the secondary or below hepatic ducts requires surgical repair.Hepaticjejunostomy is an effective definitive repair method.Hepaticjejunostomy for bile duct stenosis after right hemihepatectomy always need to dissect the left intrahepatic bile duct by a hilar plate approach or UPV approach,due to the effect of hepatic portal transposition.Surgical repair for bile duct stenosis after the left hepatectomy,always need the incision of the right anterior and right posterior hepatic duct,due to extensive injuries of hepatic duct.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the correlation between patients clinical characteristics and the number and subtype of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from peripheral blood of perioperative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)patients by SE-iFISH.Methods 20 HCC patients undergoing radical resection were enrolled from June 2015 to June 2016.The SE-iFISH technique was used to separate and identify circulating tumor cells.The pathology and clinical data were used to evaluate patients survival in combination with CTCs characteristics.Results A total of 347 CTCs were detected,of which 114 were triploid,64 were tetraploid,and 165 were pentaploid.The number of preoperative CTCs and the number of preoperative triploids was significantly correlated with the presence of vascular tumor emboli (Z1 =-2.080,P =0.037,Z3 =-2.321,P =0.020) and TNM staging(Z2 =-2.148,P =0.032,Z4 =-2.526,P =0.012).Postoperative patients disease-free survival in high CTCs detection group was significantly shorter than that of CTCs low expression group (x2 1 =7.486,P =0.006,x22 =12.056,P =0.001).Conclusion Detection of the number and the specific subtypes of CTCs with SE-iFISH strategy in patients with HCC help predict treatment efficacy and prognosis.
