超声显像与膀胱镜对膀胱肿瘤的诊断价值

对经手术和病理证实的８３例膀胱肿瘤进行超声显像和膀胱镜检查的对比性分析。结果表明，膀胱镜对膀胱肿瘤的诊断符合率为９７．５％，略高于超声显像符合率的９５．２％；但对膀胱肿瘤的术前分期，膀胱镜检查尚存在局限性，而超声显像可弥补膀胱镜检查的不足。本文超声显像对膀胱肿瘤的术前分期准确率达８９．５％。超声显像对小于０．５ｃｍ的小膀胱肿瘤之检出率不如膀胱镜高。因此在常规检查以及对肿瘤的术前分期时，应以超声显像作为首选，同时结合膀胱镜检查，可进一步提高膀胱肿瘤的术前诊断正确率。     

Evaluation of computerized analysis of the propagation of human duodenojejunal contractions

Abstract Detection of peristalsis in the human small intestine has been limited in the past by both the available measurement techniques and the complexity of this activity. Recent developments in ambulant recording have provided a means of monitoring the occurrence of intestinal contractions at multiple sites in the small bowel, but the problem of complexity remains. Using digital data recorded from an intra-luminal strain-gauge transducer in the proximal gut, an algorithm was implemented to identify and classify contractile events within the small bowel. By modelling propagated activity the effect of varying transducer spacing and the number of transducers used was assessed. The question of variability of apparent velocity of peristaltic contractions was examined using successive cross-correlation calculations to extract underlying phase differences between samples of 512 minutes of manometric recording over 150 mm of human small bowel. The effective velocity was found to have a median value of 14 mm sec^-1 and an inter quartile range of 12–18 mm see^-1). It is proposed that, in dynamically tracking variations in phase difference between adjacent recording sites, cross-correlation techniques should be used to control the parameters used for the recognition of propagated contractile events and thereby improve the specificity of this process.     

Neuronal adrenergic and muscular cholinergic contractile hypersensitivity in canine jejunum after extrinsic denervation

Extrinsic denervation may be responsible for motor dysfunction after small bowel transplantation. The aim of this study was to examine the role of extrinsic innervation of canine jejunum on contractile activity. An in vitro dose response of cholinergic and adrenergic agonists was evaluated in canine jejunal strips of circular muscle at 0, 2, and 8 weeks in a control group and after jejunoileal extrinsic denervation (EX DEN). Neurons in circular muscle were quantitated by means of immunohistochemical techniques. Adrenergic and cholinergic responses did not differ at any time in the control group. However, at 2 and 8 weeks, extrinsic denervation caused an increased sensitivity to the procontractile effects of the cholinergic agonist bethanechol at the level of the smooth muscle cells, and increased sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of the adrenergic agent norepinephrine mediated at the level of the enteric nervous system. Immunohistochemical analysis showed a reduction in all neurons and a complete lack of adrenergic fibers in the EX DEN group after 2 and 8 weeks. Extrinsic denervation induces enteric neuronal cholinergic and adrenergic smooth muscle hypersensitivity in canine jejunal circular muscle.

Overactive bladder in Parkinson's disease: alteration of brainstem raphe detected by transcranial sonography

Urinary dysfunction is very common in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and manifests primarily with symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB). Affection of central serotonergic systems has been suggested to play a role in OAB. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether in PD patients with OAB symptoms a specific alteration of the brainstem raphe (BR), which contains serotonergic neurons, can be detected with transcranial sonography (TCS). Of 116 PD patients enrolled, 19 had PD-related OAB symptoms (OAB+) unlike remaining 97 patients (OAB−). Patients were examined by a sonographer blinded to the clinical data. Reduced echogenicity of BR was found in 12 (63%) OAB+ patients but only in 18 (19%) of 93 assessable OAB− patients (Mann–Whitney U -test, P  < 0.001). In OAB+ patients, lower raphe echogenicity score was associated with longer duration of OAB symptoms ( anova , P  = 0.033). Other TCS findings such as echogenicity of substantia nigra, thalami, lenticular and caudate nuclei, and widths of third and lateral ventricles did not differ between OAB+ and OAB− patients. TCS findings suggest a pathogenetic role of BR in OAB related to PD. Alterations may reflect disturbance of its central serotonergic system.     

Laparoscopic radical cystectomy and bilateral ureteric ligation for muscle-invasive bladder cancer in a patient on hemodialysis

Laparoscopic cystectomy and bilateral ureteric ligation were performed on a 52-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis (HD) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Her volume of urine production was approximately 100 mL/day. Excisions of the bladder and uterus with ligation of the bilateral ureter were conducted completely laparoscopically. Total operative time was 280 min and the amount of blood loss was 60 mL. No complications were seen perioperatively and no adverse events regarding ureteric ligation arose. HD was performed on the second postoperative day. At a 12-month follow-up, the patient showed no evidence of disease.

11C-choline positron emission tomography in bladder cancer: Report of four cases

Little work has been done with positive emission tomography (PET) in bladder tumors because high urinary excretion of (18)F-FDG makes visualization of the bladder tumor difficult. (11)C-choline has recently been reported as a new tracer which lacks urinary radioactivity. We report the result of (11)C-choline PET in four patients with invasive bladder tumors. In one case, (11)C-choline PET could detect bladder tumor effectively without urinary activity and bone metastasis despite negative bone scintigraphy. On the other hand, an intense accumulation of the tracer in the bladder hampered the interpretation on PET scanning in three patients. The mechanisms of the (11)C-choline accumulation in the bladder were reported to be due to inflammatory and proliferative changes in the mucosa of the bladder from previous catheterization or other factors. Further study is necessary to prove the value of (11)C-choline PET for detecting primary bladder cancer and bone metastasis.     

联合应用口服水剂和水灌肠肠道充盈法的MSCT研究

目的：评价口服水剂、水灌肠及两者联合应用充盈肠道后,使用MSCT显示成人正常肠道的能力。材料和方法：将43名非肠道病变志愿者分别采用口服水剂法(21例)、水灌肠法(12例)、双重法(口服水剂和水灌肠联合应用,10例)充盈肠道,然后行MSCT平扫和增强扫描并进行图像重建,对小肠和大肠各肠段充盈状态进行评价。结果：口服水剂法回肠充盈良好,水灌肠法大肠充盈良好,双重法回肠及大肠均充盈良好。口服水剂法小肠充盈优于水灌肠法,与双重法无显著差异,大肠充盈状态水灌肠法明显优于口服水剂法,与双重法无显著差异。结论：口服水剂和水灌肠联合应用可以在MSCT同时较好地充盈显示小肠和大肠,而两种方法单独使用则仅能分别充盈显示小肠和大肠,需要根据显示目的选择相应的充盈方法。     

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING FACILITATES ASSESSMENT OF PERIANAL CROHN'S DISEASE

Three illustrative cases of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with perianal Crohn's disease are presented. Modern MRI techniques provided excellent visualization of perineal anatomy, inflammatory tissues and an anorectal stricture. It also allowed detailed delineation of the patho-anatomy of fistulous abscess and any communication to more proximal bowel. This report illustrates the potential of modern MRI as an important investigative adjunct in evaluating the anorectal manifestations of Crohn's disease.
