As the slip zone is the weak zone in the landslide, it is the key part to control the stability of the landslide. The study on the change of unsaturated mechanical properties of the sliding zone soil during the drying-wetting cycle is of great significance to understand the change of shear strength of the sliding zone soil with periodic fluctuation of reservoir water and the resulting landslide deformation and even instability process. The sliding zone soil of a talus landslide in Three Gorges reservoir area was used as the research target. Through the simulation of 0-5 drying-wetting cycles, the direct shear and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tests were carried out on the remolded samples of the sliding zone soil, and the matric suction of the samples after shear was measured by filter paper method. Further, the variation characteristics of pore structure, matric suction, soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) and shear strength of unsaturated sliding zone soil during drying-wetting cycle were analyzed, and the prediction model of unsaturated shear strength under drying-wetting cycle was established based on the test results. The results show that the connection between particles in the soil is constantly damaged and destroyed by the drying-wetting cycle, causing the continuous development and expansion of small pores in the sample to evolve into large pores, and the overall porosity increases because the number of pores in the soil increases; meanwhile, the air intake value and the residual water content of soil gradually decreases with the increase of drying-wetting cycles, which means that the water is easier to penetrate and overflow into the soil pores, and the water holding capacity of soil gradually decreases; besides, the degradation of shear strength of slip zone soil is very obvious under drying-wetting cycle; the cohesion and internal friction angle of slip zone soil decrease gradually with the number of drying-wetting cycles, and the degree of weakening of the cohesion by drying-wetting cycle is greater than that of internal friction angle. Finally, the prediction model of unsaturated shear strength of slip zone soil based on direct shear test and matric suction measurement by filter paper method provides a useful reference for the prediction of shear strength of slip zone soil under drying-wetting cycle.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and causes of death after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in patients with hepatic sinus obstruction syndrome (HSOS), as well as the prevention and treatment measures to further improve the survival rate of such patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 293 patients with HSOS who were admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2013 to December 2019, among whom 20 patients died after TIPS. General information, laboratory examination, and clinical treatment regimen were analyzed, and clinical indices and complications were compared at different stages of the disease. The paired t - test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Wilcoxon rank - sum test was used for comparison of non - normally distributed continuous data between groups. Results The mean survival time was 15.15 ± 4.21 weeks for the 20 patients who died, among whom there were 15 male patients and 5 female patients, with a mean age of 67.60 ± 7.01 years; there were 17 patients (85%) aged ≥ 60 years, and more than 90% of the patients had abdominal distention and oliguria. Among the 20 patients who died, 9 (45%) had chronic underlying diseases, and 5 (25%) had more than two underlying diseases. Portal venous pressure decreased from 21.67 ± 5.15 mm Hg before surgery to 8.17 ± 4.98 mm Hg after surgery (t = 10.318, P < 0.05). The levels of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and D - dimer were significantly higher than the normal values before surgery, and the re were significant increases in these levels on day 5 after surgery (Z = 3.823, 3.823, 2.756, all P < 0.05); the hemoglobin level, platelet count, and creatinine level tended to decrease on day 5 after surgery (t = 4.979, t = 2.147, Z = - 3.125, all P < 0.05). Three patients had hepatic encephalopathy before surgery, while 10 patients (50%) had hepatic encephalopathy after surgery. Causes of death included acute liver failure, infectious shock, and multiple organ failure syndrome (MODS). Conclusion The possible risk factors for death after TIPS in HSOS patients include underlying diseases, high bilirubin, and complications such as hepatic encephalopathy and renal dysfunction. Causes of death mainly include acute liver failure and MODS. Ultrasound and laboratory markers should be reexamined during anticoagulation therapy to identify the patients with progression to severe diseases as early as possible, and in case of progressive deterioration of indices, TIPS should be selected as early as possible to improve the survival rate and prognosis of such patients. In addition, hemobilia should be observed during and after surgery, and intervention measures should be adopted in time to further reduce mortality rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, with the development in basic research and clinical application, the success rate of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has been increased significantly, and stent restenosis rate and the incidence of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy have been controlled. With reference to the authors′ clinical practice and hot topics of conferences at home and abroad, this article introduces the advances in TIPS-related techniques and their application in liver cirrhosis, including TIPS puncture technique, TIPS stent, TIPS-related hepatic encephalopathy and its prevention and treatment, TIPS indications and contraindications, the issues solved by TIPS in liver cirrhosis, and the advantages and disadvantages of TIPS in the treatment of esophagogastric variceal bleeding compared with other therapeutic methods, in order to make contributions to the development of TIPS and bring more benefits to patients with liver cirrhosis.
