Co-occurrence of IPMN and malignant IPNB complicated by a pancreatobiliary fistula: A case report and review of the literature

BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct(IPNB) is pathologically similar to intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN). However, there are several significant differences between them. The rate of IPMN associated with extrapancreatic malignancies has been reported to range from 10%-40%, and it may occasionally be complicated with the presence of fistulas. IPMN associated with malignant IPNB is extremely rare and only nine cases have been reported in the literature.CASE SUMMARY We report a 52-year-old man who presented with recurrent cholangitis for nine months. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed the common bile duct stricture with dilated pancreatobiliary duct without other abnormal findings. The underlying pathogenesis could not be identified based on the radiologic images. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed a pancreatobiliary fistula with dilated main pancreatic duct, biliary stricture with dilated biliary tree, and mucus discharge from the enlarged orifice of the major papilla. The patient underwent SpyGlass cholangiopancreatoscopy due to a suspected mucin-producing biliary neoplasm and indeterminate main pancreatic duct dilatation. Multiple papillary growing neoplasms with vascular images, with the extent of lesions spreading in the biliopancreatic ductal lumens, were identified by SpyGlass. In addition, the presence of a pancreatobiliary fistula was also identified. The patient was diagnosed as having benign IPMN and malignant IPNB with focal invasion by postoperative pathology. Furthermore, varying histological subtypes were present in both IPMN and IPNB. Pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed on the patient with excellent results during the 52 month followup period.CONCLUSION We deemed that pancreatography and SpyGlass allowed for an efficient diagnosis of IPMN with pancreatobiliary fistula, whereas the etiology could not be identified by radiologic imaging.     

多功能病号服在临床中的应用

病人在医院接受治疗时,往往在需要暴露局部治疗部位时,必需脱去整件衣、裤,由于春季、秋季、冬季室内温度低于体温,使病人易着凉、感冒,诱发其他并发症等,引起身体的不适.局部肿瘤放疗病人,指导放疗病人和家属将放疗局部的内衣剪开,露出局部皮肤进行治疗,这样不影响治疗,还可保暖,但这一方法还有待改进.另外住院病人的病号服颜色单调,款式单一,功能缺乏,根本不能满足住院病人的身心及治疗的需要.因此,近几年,通过大量的研究和临床实践,设计出多功能病号服,获国家实用型专利.现将其介绍如下.     

手术室与供应室一体化运作中手术器械的管理

我院为一家拥有800张床位的综合性医院,年手术量1万多例,有一个现代化的供应室,由于手术器械从手术室到供应室环节多,很容易出现手术器械丢失或无菌手术器械不能及时供应而延误手术的现象.为达到资源共享,我院于2003年6月实行手术室与供应室一体化运作,经过4年尝试,在工作中不断总结经验,形成了一定的管理模式,取得满意结果.     

介绍一种眼科点眼药盘

眼科工作中给病人点眼药是主要治疗方法之一,一般是多种眼药水放在一个药盘或药框中,眼药水品种繁多,且眼药水瓶东倒西歪摆放没有规律,甚至会出现作用相反的眼药水(膏)拿错的现象,如缩瞳类和散瞳类就是两个作用完全相反的眼药.因此,使用时往往需要仔细寻找或凭经验才能快速找到所需的眼药,如果使用不当就会给病人造成严重的后果.为减少不良后果的发生,在临床实践中,我们制作了一种简易、方便使用的点眼药盘.现介绍如下.

Clinical effects of apatinib mesylate for treatment of multiple brain micrometastases:Two case reports

BACKGROUND Apatinib is a small-molecule multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor.Apatinib has demonstrated encouraging antitumor activities.This study aimed to observe the efficacy and safety of apatinib for the treatment of multiple brain micrometastases.CASE SUMMARY We report two patients with multiple brain micrometastases after failure of second-line treatment.Both patients had extracerebral metastases.When the patients took 250 mg/d apatinib orally,the intracerebral lesions disappeared.The extracerebral lesions were partially alleviated.Both patients had a progressionfree survival of more than 12 mo and were still stable.The safety was good.The main adverse events(AEs)were mild hypertension and proteinuria,which could be controlled.CONCLUSION Apatinib has clear efficacy and good tolerance in patients with multiple brain micrometastases after failure of second-line treatment.     

青霉素的发现及应用

青霉素能杀灭各种病菌,却对人体几乎没有毒性,因此是迄今为止在临床上应用最为广泛的抗生素.历史上,它的发现及应用与3个人密不可分.他们分别是亚历山大·弗莱明(Alexander Fleming)、霍华德·弗洛里(Howard Florey).恩斯特·钱恩(Ernst Chain).

Having diabetes without knowing it

As part of the activities on the World Day for Diabetes in 2002, nine professors, one nurse who teaches about diabetes and 126 nursing students at University Schools of Nursing in Barcelona, Lleida, Tarragona, Tortosa and Girona, in collaboration with the Association of Diabetics in Catalonia and with the help of the Advisory Council for Diabetes in Catalonia participated in a diabetes screening campaign on the population residing in Catalonia. This campaign studied the prevalence of type two diabetes in a random sample of the Catalan population. This campaign also proposed to raise the awareness among the general population and among nursing students about the important health consequences diabetes has and to increase investigation and social support measures by nurses related to diabetes. This study checked 4083 persons and discovered 77 cases of altered blood-sugar levels among people who did not know they had diabetes. This finding means that there is a 2.2% prevalence of altered blood-sugar levels in the population who are not diagnosed diabetics. Professors and student participants all gave this experience positive marks and the students' degree of satisfaction was very high.
