Prognostic factors in maxillary sinus and nasal cavity carcinoma

AIMS: The aim of the present study is to define prognostic factors, particularly the impact of treatment on paranasal sinus and nasal cavity malignancies. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study of patients with maxillary antrum and nasal fossae malignancies. A maxillectomy classification as performed to treat malignancies in our institution is described. Multivariate analysis of prognostic factors was done using the Cox's model. RESULTS: One hundred and nine patients were evaluated. Squamous cell carcinoma was found in 62 cases and in 95 patients the epicentre of the tumour was located in the maxillary antrum. Ten patients were treated with surgery only, 39 patients with surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy, 37 cases received only radiotherapy, and 18 received radiotherapy followed by surgery; in five cases a combination of chemo-radiotherapy was used. Multivariate analysis identified T classification, orbit invasion, N classification, site of origin of tumour in nasal fossae, and no surgical resection as independent prognostic factors (p=0.0001). CONCLUSION: T4 tumours with orbit invasion present bad prognosis as compared to other T4 tumours. Surgical resection should be included in the treatment strategy. Because of the high frequency of lymph-node metastasis, neck treatment should be considered in T4 tumours.     

双镜种联合技术治疗复杂输尿管狭窄的疗效

目的：探讨双镜种联合技术处理复杂输尿管狭窄的可行性及临床效果。方法：回顾性分析2016年2月至2018年6月在中南大学湘雅医院运用该技术治疗的16例复杂输尿管狭窄患者的临床资料。16例患者均为医源性狭窄。术前患侧肾脏重度积水4例,中度积水7例,轻度积水5例。根据输尿管狭窄的具体位置及长度选择相应的手术方式。结果：所有患者顺利完成手术,无中转开放手术和脏器损伤。术后随访患者8~18个月,患者患侧肾积水均不同程度减轻,未发生输尿管再狭窄。结论：双镜种联合技术在术中能精准定位狭窄段、检验吻合效果、扩张炎性狭窄、提高远端输尿管狭窄行端-端吻合术的可能性,是一种治疗复杂输尿管狭窄疗效确切且安全可行的新技术。     

双腔气囊小肠镜对小肠炎症性疾病相关狭窄的治疗

目的：探讨双腔气囊小肠镜的内镜下球囊扩张(endoscopic balloon dilation,EBD)和狭窄切开(endoscopic stricturotomy with needle knife,NKSt)对于小肠炎症性疾病相关狭窄治疗的安全性及有效性。方法：收集2015年7月至 2018年9月在中南大学湘雅三医院行双腔气囊小肠镜狭窄治疗的患者14例,病变部位16处,内镜下干预16次(EBD 11次 和NKSt 5次)。术后定期随访,观察患者的临床症状缓解和复发情况,以及是否能替代外科手术。结果：14例患者均 成功行内镜治疗,操作成功率100%,未发生穿孔、大出血等严重并发症。EBD和NKSt患者分别在随访5.9~35.3(中位 数26.1)个月及1.6~17.8(中位数8.3)个月内梗阻症状得到有效缓解,其中2例患者随访期间出现再次梗阻,予以保守对 症处理后缓解,未行外科手术干预。结论：小肠镜下治疗(EBD和NKSt)对小肠炎症性疾病狭窄安全有效,可以推迟 外科手术时间。

“Close-loop” urethral obstruction: Clinico-radiological features and management consideration in a resource-constraint environment

ObjectiveTo document our observation of “close-loop” obstruction among patients with dual urethral obstruction from BPH and urethral stricture disease.Materials and MethodsThe hospital records of all patients that presented to our centres with evidences of urethral stricture co-existing with BPH were retrospectively reviewed from January 2007 to December 2011. Among other things, the salient features in the contrast radiograph of those with “close-loop” obstruction and their treatment were documented and analysed.ResultsForty three patients were managed for radiological evidence of urethral stricture and elevated bladder base (dual obstruction). Thirty (69.7%) of these patients had open prostatectomy with easy dilatation of the urethral stricture. Twelve (27.9%) of the patients had urethroplasty for urethral stricture diseases; of these twelve, five patients presented with persistent LUTS (“close loop” obstruction). These five (11.6%) patients were aged between 50 to 80 years; they all had suprapubic cystostomy. In addition to delineating the anatomy of the urethral stricture and elevated bladder base, other salient features on the contrast radiographies included dilated prostatic urethral, visualization of the seminal vesicles and closed bladder neck on voiding cystogram. The initial treatment was urethroplasty but two each had combination therapy (with alpha adrenergic blocker and 5-alpha reductase inhibitor) and open prostatectomy respectively as further treatment while the last patient had perineal urethrostomy as first-stage redo-urethroplasty.Conclusion“Close-loop” urethral obstruction appears to be an entity that needs further evaluation.     

Laparoscopic-Assisted Vesicocalicostomy for Severe Pelvi-Ureteral Stricture Disease

A 39-year-old female previously treated with shock wave lithotripsy developed extensive ureteral stricture disease. After 2 unsuccessful attempts at retrograde balloon dilatation, she was evaluated at our center for further management. Successful reconstruction was performed with laparoscopic-assisted vesicocalicostomy.     

Effects of palatine bone denudation repair with periosteal graft on maxillary growth: An experimental study in rats

BackgroundThe long-term goal of cleft palate repair is to provide normal maxillary growth and speech capacity. However, most surgical repairs of cleft palate result in areas of bone denudation on lateral aspects of the hard palate. It is widely acknowledged that palatal bone denudation and subsequent scar contracture resulting from cleft palate surgery can inhibit maxillary growth.MethodThis study is designed to investigate the effect of the periosteum on growth patterns of the maxilla. A total of 32 three-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group and three experimental groups: a mucosa excision group, a mucosa-periosteum excision group and a periosteal graft group. Nine weeks postoperatively the skulls were prepared for study and palatal widths and lengths were determined. The experimental groups were investigated for various histological changes.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference for the maxillary measurements (palatal width and length) between the mucosa excision group and the periosteal graft group when compared with the control group. However, the mucosa-periosteum excision group compared to the control indicated a statistically significant decrease in the same measurements. There was also a statistically significant difference for the maxillary measurements between the periosteal graft group and the mucosa-periosteum excision group.It was demonstrated histologically that the density of the Sharpey's fibres and periodontal scar tissue showed a slight increase in the mucosa excision group and the periosteal graft group compared with the control group. In the mucosa-periosteum excision group, the density increased significantly as expected.ConclusionsAll of these findings testify that retaining the periosteum or replacement with a periosteum graft after surgery can prevent the inhibition of maxillary growth.
