Clinical efficacy of intradermal type Ⅰ collagen injections in treating skin photoaging in patients from high-altitude areas

BACKGROUND Photoaging,a result of chronic sun exposure,leads to skin damage and pigmentation changes.Traditional treatments may have limitations in high-altitude areas like Yunnan Province.Intradermal Col Ⅰ injections stimulate collagen production,potentially improving skin quality.This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of this treatment for photoaging.AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intradermal typeΙcollagen(ColΙ)injection for treating photoaging.METHODS This prospective,self-controlled study investigated the impact of intradermal injections of ColΙon skin photodamage in 20 patients from the Yunnan Province.Total six treatment sessions were conducted every 4 wk±3 d.Before and after each treatment,facial skin characteristics were quantified using a VISIA skin detector.Skin thickness data were assessed using the ultrasound probes of the Dermalab skin detector.The Face-Q scale was used for subjective evaluation of the treatment effect by the patients.RESULTS The skin thickness of the right cheek consistently increased after each treatment session compared with baseline.The skin thickness of the left cheek significantly increased after the third through sixth treatment sessions compared with baseline.The skin thickness of the right zygomatic region increased after the second to sixth treatment sessions,whereas that of the left zygomatic region showed a significant increase after the fourth through sixth treatment sessions.The skin thickness of both temporal regions significantly increased after the fifth and sixth treatment sessions compared with baseline(P<0.05).These findings were also supported by skin ultrasound images.The feature count for the red areas and wrinkle feature count decreased following the treatment(P<0.05).VISIA assessments also revealed a decrease in the red areas after treatment.The Face-QSatisfaction with Facial Appearance Overall and Face-Q-Satisfaction with Skin scores significantly increased after each treatment session.The overall appearance of the patients improved after treatment.CONCLUSION Intradermal ColΙinjection improves photoaging,with higher patient satisfaction and fewer adverse reactions,and could be an effective treatment method for populations residing in high-altitude areas.

“Hepatic hilum area priority,liver posterior first”:An optimized strategy in laparoscopic resection for type Ⅲ-Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma

BACKGROUND In recent years,pure laparoscopic radical surgery for Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅲ and Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma(HCCA)has been preliminarily explored and applied,but the surgical strategy and safety are still worthy of further improvement and attention.AIM To summarize and share the application experience of the emerging strategy of“hepatic hilum area dissection priority,liver posterior separation first”in pure laparoscopic radical resection for patients with HCCA of Bismuth-Corlette types Ⅲ and IV.METHODS The clinical data and surgical videos of 6 patients with HCCA of Bismuth-Corlette types Ⅲ and Ⅳ who underwent pure laparoscopic radical resection in our department from December 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS Among the 6 patients,4 were males and 2 were females.The average age was 62.2±11.0 years,and the median body mass index was 20.7(19.2-24.1)kg/m^(2).The preoperative median total bilirubin was 57.7(16.0-155.7)μmol/L.One patient had Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅲa,4 patients had Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅲb,and 1 patient had Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅳ.All patients successfully underwent pure laparoscopic radical resection following the strategy of“hepatic hilum area dissection priority,liver posterior separation first”.The operation time was 358.3±85.0 minutes,and the intraoperative blood loss volume was 195.0±108.4 mL.None of the patients received blood transfusions during the perioperative period.The median length of stay was 8.3(7.0-10.0)days.Mild bile leakage occurred in 2 patients,and all patients were discharged without serious surgery-related complications.CONCLUSION The emerging strategy of“hepatic hilum area dissection priority,liver posterior separation first”is safe and feasible in pure laparoscopic radical surgery for patients with HCCA of Bismuth-Corlette types Ⅲ and Ⅳ.This strategy is helpful for promoting the modularization and process of pure laparoscopic radical surgery for complicated HCCA,shortens the learning curve,and is worthy of further clinical application.

P92钢接头Ⅳ型开裂蠕变孔洞临界值的分析及应用

【目的】分析P92管道接头热影响区发生Ⅳ型开裂的蠕变孔洞临界值的影响因素,得到蠕变孔洞临界值计算方法,为评估接头开裂风险提供依据。【方法】收集服役后发生Ⅳ型开裂的P92接头,在未开裂处取样进行610℃下不同应力条件的高温持久蠕变试验,然后使用光学显微镜、电子显微镜观察服役开裂接头和持久断裂接头热影响区的蠕变孔洞分布形貌,并借助图像分析软件测量蠕变孔洞的面积分数,同时使用硬度仪测试热影响区软化情况,最后综合测试结果分析细晶区软化程度和接头应力水平对蠕变孔洞临界值的影响,并拟合应力、显微硬度、孔洞临界值三者之间的函数关系。【结果】研究发现,P92钢接头细晶区相比于接头其它区域软化速度更快,但软化作用并非其发生Ⅳ型开裂的必要条件,当应力水平较高时,细晶区没有发生明显软化时就可以触发蠕变开裂;得到接头轴向应力水平、蠕变孔洞面积分数临界值和显微硬度的函数关系式。【结论】引起Ⅳ型开裂的蠕变孔洞面积分数临界值与相对应力水平(轴向应力与硬度的比值)有关,相对应力水平越高,蠕变孔洞临界值越小,接头安全性就越低;通过测量接头细晶热影响区的蠕变孔洞面积分数和显微硬度,可以估算开裂接头的轴向应力水平,也可以评估在役未开裂接头的Ⅳ型开裂风险。

Serum hyaluronic acid, procollagen type Ⅲ and Ⅳ in histological diagnosis of liver fibrosis

OBJECTIVE: To assess the significance of serum hyaluronic acid (HA), proeollagen type Ⅲ (PCⅢ), collagen type Ⅳ (CⅣ) in the histological diagnosis of liver fibrosis. METHODS: The concentrations of serum HA, PCⅢ, CⅣ in 253 patients with chronic liver diseases were measured by radioimmunoassay. Liver biopsies were performed in all patients at the same time. The liver was pathologically evaluated by a pathologist according to a scoring system. Combined with the results of liver pathological diagnosis, the accuracy of serum HA, PCⅢ, CⅣ in diagnosing patients with hepatic fibrosis (staging≥S_2) or cirrhosis (S_4) was assessed using the receiver operating curve (ROC). RESULTS: The cutoff values of serum HA, PCⅢ and CⅣ for identifying patients with hepatic fibrosis (≥S_2) or cirrhosis (S_4) were determined. The cutoff values of serum HA, PCⅢ and CⅣ for detecting patients with fibrosis (stage≥S_2) were 90μg/L, 90μg/L, 75μg/L, respectively; their sensitivity (Se) was 80.4%, 82%, 63.1%; their specificity (Spe) was 70.2%, 60.8%, 83.8%; their positive predictive values (PPV) were 86.7%, 83.5%, 90.4%; their negative predictive values (NPV) were 59.8%, 58.4%, 48.4%, respectively. The cutoff values for detecting patients with liver cirrhosis were 210μg/L for HA, 96.2% for Se, 85.3% for Spe, 65.4% for PPV, 98.8% for NPV; 150μg/L for PCⅢ, 76.4% for Se, 68.7% for Spe, 40.4% for PPV, 91.3% for NPV; 90μg/L for CⅣ, 80% for Se, 75.8% for Spe, 47.8% for PPV, 93.2% for NPV, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Serum HA, PCⅢ and CⅣ can be determined for an accurate diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis in various stages. HA is the best for screening liver cirrhosis.

Serum type Ⅳ collagen level is predictive for esophageal varices in patients with severe alcoholic disease

AIM： To determine factors predictive for esophagea varices in severe alcoholic disease （SAD）. METHODS： Abdominal ultrasonography （US） was performed on 444 patients suffering from alcoholism. Forty-four patients found to have splenomegaly and/ or withering of the right liver lobe were defined as those with SAD. SAD patients were examined by upper gastrointestinal （UGI） endoscopy for the presence of esophageal varices. The existence of esophageal varices was then related to clinical variables. RESULTS： Twenty-five patients （56.8%） had esophageal varices. A univariate analysis revealed a significant difference in age and type Ⅳ collagen levels between patients with and without esophageal varices. A logistic regression analysis identified type Ⅳ collagen as the only independent variable predictive for esophageal varices （P = 0.017）. The area under the curve （AUC） for type Ⅳ collagen as determined by the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） for predicting esophageal varices was 0.78. CONCLUSION： This study suggests that the level of type Ⅳ collagen has a high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of esophageal varices in SAD.

Pre-hepatectomy type Ⅳ collagen 7S predicts post-hepatectomy liver failure and recovery

BACKGROUND Liver resection is an effective treatment for benign and malignant liver tumors.However,a method for preoperative evaluation of hepatic reserve has not yet been established.Previously reported assessments of preoperative hepatic reserve focused only on liver failure in the early postoperative period and did not consider the long-term recovery of hepatic reserve.When determining eligibility for hepatectomy,the underlying pathophysiology needs to be considered to determine if the functional hepatic reserve can withstand both surgery and any postoperative therapy.AIM To identify pre-hepatectomy factors associated with both early postoperative liver failure and long-term postoperative liver function recovery.METHODS This study was a retrospective cohort study.We retrospectively investigated 215 patients who underwent hepatectomy at our hospital between May 2013 and December 2016.Early post-hepatectomy liver failure(PHLF)was defined using the International Study Group of Liver Surgery’s definition of PHLF.Long-term postoperative recovery of liver function was defined as the time taken for serum total bilirubin and albumin levels to return to levels of<2 mg/dL and>2.8 g/dL,respectively,and the time taken for Child-Pugh score to return to Child-Pugh class A.RESULTS Preoperative type IV collagen 7S was identified as a significant independent factor associated with both PHLF and postoperative long-term recovery of liver function.Further analysis revealed that the time taken for the recovery of Child-Pugh scores and serum total bilirubin and albumin levels was significantly shorter in patients with type IV collagen 7S≤6 ng/mL than in those with type IV collagen 7S>6 ng/mL.In additional analyses,similar results were observed in patients without chronic viral hepatitis associated with fibrosis.CONCLUSION Preoperative type IV collagen 7S is a preoperative predictor of PHLF and longterm postoperative liver function recovery.It can also be used in patients without chronic hepatitis virus.

Combination of type Ⅳ collagen 7S, albumin concentrations, and platelet count predicts prognosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is the most common cause of chronic liver disease and affects approximately 25%of the general global adult population.The prognosis of NAFLD patients with advanced liver fibrosis is known to be poor.It is difficult to assess disease progression in all patients with NAFLD;thus,it is necessary to identify patients who will show poor prognosis.AIM To investigate the efficacy of non-invasive biomarkers for predicting disease progression in patients with NAFLD.METHODS We investigated biomarkers associated with mortality in patients with NAFLD who visited the Kawasaki Medical School General Medical Center from 1996 to 2018 and underwent liver biopsy and had been followed-up for>1 year.Cumulative overall mortality and liver-related events during follow-up were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier analysis and compared using log-rank testing.We calculated the odds ratio and performed receiver operating characteristic curve analysis with logistic regression analysis to determine the optimal cut-off value with the highest prognostic ability.RESULTS We enrolled 489 patients who were followed-up for a period of 1-22.2 years.In total,13 patients died(2.7%of total patients enrolled);7 patients died due to liverrelated causes.Poor prognosis was associated with liver fibrosis on histological examination but not with inflammation or steatosis.Blood biomarkers associated with mortality were platelet counts,albumin levels,and type IV collagen 7S levels.The optimal cutoff index for predicting total mortality was a platelet count of 15×10^(4)/μL,albumin level of 3.5 g/dL,and type IV collagen 7S level of 5 mg/dL.In particular,only one-factor patients with NAFLD presenting with platelet counts≤15×10^(4)/μL,albumin levels≤3.5 g/dL,or type IV collagen 7S≥5 mg/dL showed 5-year,10-year,and 15-year survival rates of 99.7%,98.3%,and 94%,respectively.However,patients with two factors had lower 5-year and 10-year survival rates of 98%and 43%,respectively.Similarly,patients with all three factors showed the lowest 5-year and 10-year survival rates of 53%and 26%,respectively.CONCLUSION A combination of the three non-invasive biomarkers is a useful predictor of NAFLD prognosis and can help identify patients with NAFLD who are at a high risk of all-cause mortality.

目的研究TGF-1β、BM P-2和typeⅡco llagen在退行性腰椎滑脱(degenerative lum bar spondy lo listhes is,DLS)和腰椎间盘突出症(lum bar d isc hern iation,LDH)黄韧带中的表达及其意义。方法37例手术切除的腰椎椎板间部黄韧带标本分为3组,第1组为退行性腰椎滑脱组(DLS)10例;第2组为腰椎间盘突出症组(LDH)17例,第3组为正常对照组10例,其中7例取自腰椎骨折手术病人,3例取自意外死亡者。应用EnV is ion二步免疫组化的方法检测其TGF-1β、BM P-2和typeⅡco llagen的表达情况,普通光镜观察,计算出各标本的表达阳性率和表达强度,数据以x-±s标准差及表达强度表示,结果分别用Spss统计软件和R id it进行分析。结果TGF-1β、BM P-2和typeⅡco llagen的阳性表达产物见于成纤维细胞、成软骨细胞和软骨细胞中,而Ⅱ型胶原染色还可同时见于基质。TGF-1β、BM P-2和typeⅡco llagen在DLS组中的表达明显高于LDH组和正常组(P<0.01或P<0.05),Ⅱ型胶原基质染色明显深于LDH组和对照组。LDH组的TGF-1β和typeⅡco llagen的表达阳性率和表达强度与正常组之间差异无显著性(P>0.05),而BM P-2的表达阳性率和表达强度在LDH组与正常组之间具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论黄韧带所受到的异常机械牵张力可以增加TGF-1β在黄韧带细胞中的合成,而TGF-1β则促进退行性腰椎滑脱黄韧带中的Ⅱ型胶原合成,导致黄韧带的退变和肥厚。BM P-2在退变黄韧带中的表达异常增高,可能与黄韧带的软骨化倾向有关。
