CT扫描及超声内镜术前评价进展期食管癌

目的比较胸部螺旋CT增强扫描及微探头超声内镜 (MPS)检查在评价进展期食管癌中的价值。方法 :32例进展期食管癌术前行CT扫描和MPS检查并与术后病理学比较。结果 :CT扫描能发现 84 .4 %的食管癌病灶 ,但不能准确诊断癌肿浸润深度 ,诊断纵隔结构受侵准确率 75 % ,发现区域淋巴结转移的敏感性90 .9% ,特异性 81.8% ,对纵隔内远处淋巴结转移诊断准确率 80 %。MPS检查能检出所有病例的进展期食管癌病灶 ,癌肿浸润深度诊断准确率 81.3% ,诊断纵隔结构受侵准确率 5 0 % ,诊断区域淋巴结转移敏感性81.8% ,特异性 72 .7% ,而对纵隔内远处转移的淋巴结均未能探及。结论 :CT扫描在评价进展期食管癌纵隔内结构受侵及远处淋巴结转移的意义较大。而MPS检查在判断癌肿管腔浸润深度的准确率较高。     

Percutaneous management of lymphatic fluid collections

Eight lymphatic fluid collections were drained percutaneously. There were no immediate or late complications. Seven patients had follow-up; 1 required surgical drainage of a residual or recurrent lymphocele, and another had reaccumulated fluid in a lymphocele which was detected on autopsy. The remaining lymphatic collections responded to percutaneous drainage. Percutaneous drainage is safe and can be an effective tool in the management of lymphatic collections.     

Clinical background of cases showing a positive culture of pleural effusion at Shin-Kokura Hospital over a period of 5 years

We investigated the clinical background of patients at Shin-Kokura Hospital who showed a positive culture of pleural effusion during the period from January 1998 through December 2002. Microorganism cultures of the pleural effusions of 127 patients were performed in this 5-year period. Seventeen patients showed a positive microorganism culture from a pleural effusion, and 12 of these patients (70.6%) were 60 years old or more. Ten patients were diagnosed with thoracic empyema. Thirteen patients had an underlying disease such as malignancy (5 cases), diabetes mellitus (4 cases), etc. A purulent effusion and a high concentration of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) in the pleural fluid were more frequently recognized in the positive-culture group. A total of 21 strains of microorganism were isolated from the 17 patients, including 10 strains of Gram-positive cocci, 6 strains of Gram-negative bacilli, 3 strains of anaerobes, 1 strain of mycobacterium (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), and 1 strain of fungus. Susceptibility to antimicrobial agents was generally good for most of the microorganisms isolated. Of the 17 patients, chest-tube drainage was performed in 13, and 6 needed a surgical operation. Twelve patients improved, but 5 died. In this study, thoracic empyema accounted for 58.8% of the 17 cases with a positive culture of pleural effusion. Of the 10 thoracic empyema patients, 5 patients needed surgical treatment in spite of adequate antimicrobial treatment and chest-tube drainage. Our data indicate that thoracic empyema is still difficult to treat, and thus adequate and rapid treatment is needed for any pleural infection.     

腹腔镜肝右后叶囊肿开窗引流术35例报告

目的：探讨肝右后叶肝囊肿的腹腔镜处理方法。方法：1998年1月～2005年12月对35例有症状的肝右后叶囊肿（21例主要位于Ⅵ段，14例主要位于第Ⅶ段）采用四孔法行囊肿开窗引流术。囊肿位于肝右后叶上段者采用肝上入路，胆囊牵引钳或三叶钳推压肝脏使其向前向下，暴露肝后囊肿，囊肿开窗，修剪带蒂大网膜放入囊肿。囊肿位于肝右后叶下段者采用肝下入路，超声刀切开肝结肠韧带，右三角韧带及肝肾间疏松组织，胆囊牵引钳抬起肝脏，囊肿开窗，大网膜放入囊腔引流。结果：35例肝右后叶肝囊肿均在腹腔镜下完成肝囊肿开窗引流术，无中转开腹手术。15例采用肝上入路，20例采用肝下入路。手术时间30～95min，平均46min。无手术并发症。35例病理检查结果均为先天性肝囊肿。术后症状均消失。术后住院2～5d，平均3．8d。35例随访6～36个月，平均34个月，33例无复发，2例（为肝上入路病例）囊肿未完全消失，但较术前明显缩小，无明显症状，观察半年未见增大。结论：肝下及肝上入路囊肿开窗引流是腹腔镜下处理肝右叶肝囊肿的有效方法。     

Endocrine evaluation after endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in children

Objective Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a standard procedure for the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus in children. Main part of the procedure is the perforation of the third ventricle floor (tuber cinereum). This structure is part of the hypothalamic–pituitary neuronal network of cerebral endocrine regulation. There are no systematic data available about the endocrine status after ETV in children. Materials and methods We examined 20 children who had undergone ETV. Examination included laboratory tests (adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin, insulin-like growth factor 1 [IGF-1], IGF-binding protein 3 [IGFBP-3], fT3, fT4, thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH], serum osmolarity, electrolytes, glucose, urea, follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH], and testosterone in selected patients), measurement of weight, height, and head circumference, and physical examination. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Medical Faculty of Kiel University. Results In seven patients, prolactin was moderately elevated. One patient demonstrated a significantly increased prolactin (56.3 ng/ml). In all eight patients, this was the only laboratory value that was out of the normal range; all other parameters were normal. Three other patients showed one abnormal parameter (decrease in FSH and LH, increase in TSH, decrease in IGF-1 and IGFBP-3). In nine patients, weight or height was not within the 3rd to 97th centiles for age. Discussion and conclusion More patients than expected demonstrated endocrine laboratory abnormalities. However, there was no clinical relevance in any of the studied patients. It remains inconclusive whether ETV contributes to the abnormalities of prolactin levels or to other endocrine parameters in pediatric patients. Longitudinal studies are necessary to delineate the effect of ETV on endocrine regulation.

Surgical approach after failed enteryx injection for GERD.

OBJECTIVE: We report on 3 patients who underwent laparoscopic antireflux procedures for persistent symptoms of GERD after biopolymer injection. METHODS: Experienced laparoscopic surgeons completed all 3 procedures laparoscopically. In 2 patients, there was an extramural extravasation of the polymer outside and adherent to the esophageal wall. In these patients, a partial posterior fundoplication was used. The third patient, who had the polymer material deposits removed preoperatively by endoscopic mucosal resection, underwent a Nissen fundoplication. RESULTS: Postoperative recovery was uneventful in all cases. At follow-up of 6 to 12 months, all patients were symptom free, off medical therapy, and experiencing no dysphagia. CONCLUSION: Surgical therapy for patients after failed biopolymer injection is safe and effective. The choice of surgery may depend on whether the polymer mass can be removed preoperatively.

EST+胆胰管引流治疗急性胆源性胰腺炎

目的 探讨内镜下乳头奥迪氏扩约肌切开(endoscopic sphincterotomy,EST) 胆胰管引流技术在急性胆源性胰腺炎(acute biliary pancreatitis,ABP)诊治中的应用价值.方法 将入选的315例ABP患者随机分为EST治疗组(n=132)和非EST对照组(n=183),并根据APACHEⅡ评分,将每组再进一步分为重症组和轻症组.两组患者均给予中西医结合治疗.EST治疗组在入院后24 h内行ERCP(endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) EST,如发现胆管或胆胰共同通道有结石,则行网篮气囊取石或碎石器碎石取石,如结石多、结石直径大,结石难以一次取尽则急诊不强行取石术.如ERCP证实胰管狭窄或胰管有结石,则行胰管支架植入或鼻胰管引流.所有患者EST术后均行鼻胆管引流术(endoscopic naso-billiary drainage ENBD).结果 对重症ABP,EST治疗组的并发症发生率、转开腹手术率、住院天数及住院费用均明显低于非EST对照组(X12=7.12,X22=5.64,t1=2.57,t2=2.28,P＜0.05);而两组轻症之间无显著差异.结论 早期应用EST技术治疗ABP是可行的、有效的和安全的.
