This nomogram might help identify patients who would benefit from postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and close follow-up.Materials and methods: All data from 228 patients in two independent Chinese cohorts (118 patients and 110 patients) were pooled and subjected to survival analysis. One cohort’s data were used to develop multivariate nomograms based on Cox regression, and the second cohort was used for external validation. The variables were sex, age, clinical tumor stage, tumor location, preoperative therapy protocol, adjuvant chemotherapy, surgical procedure, surgical approach, pTNM stage, tumor deposit, tumor regression grade, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, pretreatment serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, preoperative CEA level, and postoperative CEA level. The model’s performance was evaluated based on its discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness.Results: The nomogram was based on ypT stage and ypN stage, and the C-index values for 3-year DFS were 0.70 in the training cohort (95% confidence interval: 0.62–0.78) and 0.78 in the validation cohort (95% confidence interval: 0.68–0.89). The Hosmer-Lemeshow calibration test revealed good calibration for predicting 3-year DFS in the training and validation cohorts, and decision curve analysis demonstrated that the nomogram was clinically useful.Conclusion: This nomogram including the ypT stage and ypN stage could predict DFS at 3years after surgery, which may help better identify Chinese patients who would benefit from additional postoperative adjuvant systemic treatment.Keywords: rectal cancer, disease-free survival, recurrence, nomogram

Using heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) as an early cardiac marker for diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) soon after the onset of symptoms requires a rapid assay. A one-step test called, CardioDetect®, is used for detection of H-FABP in whole blood sample. Thirty patients suspected of AMI presenting to the emergency department within 12 hours after onset were enrolled in this study. The diagnostic performance of CardioDetect® was compared with different cardiac markers. There were 59.1% of patients with positive H-FABP within 6 hours after onset, while there were only 18.2% with positive cardiac troponin I (cTnI). Results indicated the diagnostic power of H-FABP for AMI was significantly higher than that of cTnI. The sensitivity of H-FABP was 81.8%, which was higher than those of the other cardiac markers, while the specificity was comparable. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for H-FABP was 0.909, which was significantly larger than the others. With this rapid and sensitive immunotest, H-FABP could be soon introduced in clinical practice in combination with well-established markers like troponins. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Renal aspergillosis (RAsp) is a rare complication in liver transplant (LT) recipients. Here we report RAsp in two LT recipients. In both patients, RAsp occurred more than 90 d after allogenetic orthotropic LT, and all the clinical findings were unspecific. RAsp involved unilateral kidney in Case one and bilateral kidneys in Case two. Both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed renal abscesses, with progressively enhanced walls and separations and unenhanced alveolate areas after contrast agent administration. On unenhanced CT images they showed inhomogeneous hypo-attenuation. On fat-suppressed T2-weighted images (T2WIs), the walls and separations of the abscesses showed slightly low signal intensity and the central parts of the lesions showed slightly high signal intensity. Both on CT and MRI, there were some hints of renal infarction or chronic ischemia. Both cases were treated by radical nephrectomy followed by adjuvant antifungal treatment. They all recovered well.

- Abstract
Aim: To investigate the diagnostic performance of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) in detecting biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT)., Methods: Eighty-three consecutive OLT recipients, who presented with clinical or biochemical signs of biliary complications, underwent MDCT examination. Two experienced radiologists assessed MDCT images in consensus to determine biliary complications. Final confirmation was based on percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography or endoscopic retrograde cholangiography in 58 patients, surgery in four patients, liver biopsy in 10, and clinical and sonography follow-up in 11 patients., Results: Biliary complications were eventually confirmed in 62 of 83 patients (74.7%), including anastomotic biliary strictures in 32, nonanastomotic biliary strictures in 21, biliary stones in nine (5 with biliary strictures), anastomotic bile leak in five, and biloma in six (all with nonanastomotic strictures, and 2 with biligenic hepatic abscess). Twenty-one patients had no detection of biliary complications. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of MDCT for detecting biliary strictures were 90.6%, 86.7%, 89.2%, 92.3% and 83.9%, respectively. For detecting biliary stones, anastomotic bile leak and biloma, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of MDCT were all 100%., Conclusion: MDCT is a useful screening tool for detecting biliary complications after OLT.

- Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of Rho-kinase inhibitor on cardiac hypertrophy of left ventricle in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)., Methods: SHRs (n = 30) were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 6 each): SHR control group, 5 mg/kg fasudil group (SHRL), 10 mg/kg fasudil group (SHRM), 20 mg/kg fasudil group (SHRH) and nifedipine group (XBDP, 10 mg/kg). Six male Wistar-Kyoto rats were selected as normal control group (WKY group). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured before and after treatment every 2 weeks. The hypertrophic parameters of left ventricular weight index (LVWI) and cardiomyocyte transverse diameter (TDM) were measured. In addition, the expression levels of Rho kinase mRNA and protein in cardiomyocytes were observed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot., Results: The levels of LVWI and TDM in WKY group were significantly lower than those in SHR control group [(2.98 ± 0.05) vs (3.16 ± 0.08) mg/g, (18.18 ± 0.75) vs (21.32 ± 1.25) µm, P < 0.01]. After 8 weeks, the levels of LVWI and TDM in three fasudil groups were markedly lower than those in SHR control group [SHRL group: (3.12 ± 0.05) mg/g, SHRM group: (3.10 ± 0.07) mg/g, SHRH group: (3.08 ± 0.09) mg/g vs SHR control group: (3.16 ± 0.08) mg/g, SHRL group: (20.11 ± 1.15) µm, SHRM group: (19.63 ± 1.62) µm, SHRH group: (18.91 ± 1.05) µm vs SHR control group: (21.32 ± 1.25) µm, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01]. But the levels of LVWI and TDM were not different between SHR control and XBDP groups [(3.14 ± 0.08) mg/g,(21.42 ± 1.23) µm, P > 0.05]. Compared with SHR control group, the expression of Rho kinase mRNA and protein in cardiomyocytes significantly decreased in three fasudil groups [SHRL group mRNA: (0.45 ± 0.08), SHRM group mRNA: (0.37 ± 0.07), SHRH group mRNA: (0.32 ± 0.07) vs SHR control group mRNA: (0.63 ± 0.07), SHRL group protein: 0.78 ± 0.11), SHRM group protein: (0.73 ± 0.10), SHRH group protein: (0.68 ± 0.10) vs SHR control group protein: (0.90 ± 0.1), P < 0.05 or P < 0.01], but showed no obvious change in XBDP group [mRNA: (0.56 ± 0.07), protein: (0.85 ± 0.10), P > 0.05]., Conclusions: Rho kinase inhibitor may significantly down-regulate the expression of Rho kinase in cardiomyocytes of SHR. The mechanism is probably due to the favorable effects of Rho kinase inhibitor in the prevention of cardiac hypertrophy of left ventricle.

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of 320-rows CT perfusion (CTP) imaging in the study of hepatic hemodynamic characters in ischemic-type biliary lesions (ITBL) after liver transplantation., Methods: A total of 11 ITBL patients received 320-slice CT angiography (CTA) and CTP after liver transplantation scheduled at 5-10 min away. Four patients underwent liver biopsy While 7 patients with normal liver after transplantation were selected as the control group. The parameters of hepatic artery perfusion (HAP), portal vein perfusion (PVP), total hepatic perfusion (TLP) and hepatic arterial perfusion index (HPI) were measured and compared for all patients. And the blood perfusion characters of liver with ITBL after transplantation were analyzed., Results: (1) In 11 ITBL patients, 3 patients had no vascular complications on CTA, 1 with simple hepatic artery stenosis (HAS), 1 with HAS and arterioportal shunt (APS), 2 with HAS and portal vein stenosis/right hepatic vein stenosis (PVS/RHVS), 1 with simple APS, 2 with simple PVS and 1 with portal vein thrombosis and cavernous transformation of portal vein (PVT and CTPV). And 4/11 patients underwent liver biopsy, 2 in which confirmed mild acute rejection and 2 confirmed biliary obstruction associated with ascending biliary infection.(2) HAP of the ITBL and control groups were (66 ± 38) and (40 ± 8) ml×min(-1)·(100 ml)(-1), PVP (128 ± 35) and (163 ± 21) ml×min(-1)·(100 ml)(-1), TLP (194 ± 58) and (203 ± 19) ml×min(-1)·(100 ml)(-1), HPI 34% ± 14% and 21% ± 4% respectively. The differences in the value of HAP, PVP and HPI between the groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05) excluding TLP., Conclusion: Various liver perfusion abnormalities of ITBL may be evaluated objectively by CTP. ITBL might occurred when HAP and HPI increased with a decreased of PVP.

- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical value of dual-source CT (DSCT) in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease., Methods: Fifty-five patients with suspected coronary heart disease underwent both DSCT coronary angiography (DSCTCA) and selective coronary angiography (CAG) examination, and the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the DSCTCA was evaluated., Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and accuracy of DSCT in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease were 97.7%, 72.6%, 93.5%, 88.9% and 92.7% by the number of patients, respectively; by calculating the coronary arteries, the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, accuracy were 94.9%, 95.8%, 92.5%, 97.1%, 95.5%, respectively. According to the lesion segment, these values were 88.2%, 96.9%, 90.5%, 96.1%, 94.7%, respectively. DSCTCA showed no significant difference from CAG for a diagnostic purpose, nor did their vessel sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and accuracy in different coronaries differ significantly., Conclusion: DSCT has a diagnostic accuracy of coronary heart disease close to that CAG and can on some occasion serve as an alternative to CAG in the screening of coronary artery disease.
