儿童晕厥临床诊治研究的发展与未来

儿童晕厥在临床常见,严重影响儿童的身心健康.儿童晕厥诊断关键技术的建立、诊断程序及个体化治疗新策略的提出,显著提高了儿童晕厥的诊治水平.基于研究成果,我国先后制定了多部儿童晕厥诊治指南与专家共识,并在国际期刊颁布了儿童和青少年晕厥指南,充分发挥了中国在国际儿童晕厥诊治领域的引领作用.今后尚需进一步开展儿童晕厥的流行病学研究,优化儿童晕厥预警体系以及干预与预防新策略,进一步推进儿童晕厥事业的发展.     

Gd-EOB-DTPA增强MRI评估功能性肝体积与肝功能Child-Pugh分级的相关性

目的：对比解剖性肝脏体积（ALV）和功能性肝脏体积（FLV）与肝功能Child-Pugh分级的相关性。方法：选择温州医科大学附属第二医院育英儿童医院2014年1月至2019年4月同时行增强CT和Gd-EOB-DTPA增强MRI扫描的肝硬化患者25例。对所有患者进行肝功能Child-Pugh评分，检测所有入组患者每个肝段的Gd-EOB-DTPA增强MRI平扫期和肝胆特异期的信号对比增强率（CER），以CT扫描的数据为基础利用MI-3DVS计算每个肝段的ALV和全肝的FLV。分析ALV和FLV与肝功能Child-Pugh分级的相关性。结果：肝功能Child-Pugh分级与ALV呈负相关（r=-0.792，P＜0.001），曲线拟合的决定系数（R2）=0.63；肝功能Child-Pugh分级与FLV亦呈负相关（r=-0.911，P＜0.001），曲线拟合的R2=0.80。FLV与肝功能Child-Pugh分级有更显著的负相关性。结论：结合Gd-EOB-DTPA增强MRI平扫期和肝胆特异期的信号CER和ALV计算所得的FLV较ALV能更好地反映肝脏的功能状态。     

Monitoring Hepatocyte Dysfunction and Biliary Complication After Liver Transplantation Using Quantitative Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy

The significance of hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) for hepatic graft function assessment was established mostly on retrospective studies and was not widely recognized due to the lack of quantitative data and variation in accuracy. This prospective study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of quantitative HBS for assessing hepatocyte dysfunction and biliary complication in liver transplant recipients.In 57 recipients who had undergone orthotopic liver transplantation, a total of 67 dynamic ^99mTc-EHIDA scans were performed and quantitative parameters including the hepatocyte extraction fraction (HEF), time to maximum hepatic radioactivity (T_max), and time for peak activity to decrease by 50% (T_1/2) were calculated. The scintigraphic results based on the 3 parameters were compared against the final diagnosis. A ROC curve analysis was carried out to identify the cutoff value of T_max for diagnosis of biliary stricture. Correlation between the parameters of postoperative HBS and conventional biochemical liver function indices were also analyzed.Quantitative ^99mTc-EHIDA HBS had an overall sensitivity of 94.12% (16/17), specificity of 93.33% (42/45), and diagnostic accuracy of 93.55% (58/62) for detecting hepatocyte dysfunction and biliary complication in liver transplant recipients. The recommended cutoff value of T_max for diagnosis of post-transplant biliary stricture was set at 15.75 min with a sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of 94.0%. The scintigraphic parameters (HEF, T_max) were statistically significantly associated with the conventional liver function parameters.Quantitative ^99mTc-EHIDA HBS offers a noninvasive imaging modality with high sensitivity and specificity to diagnose hepatocyte dysfunction as well as distinguish between patients with or without biliary stricture following liver transplantation. Furthermore, HEF and T_max values obtained from dynamic HBS show good correlation with conventional liver function parameters.
