Metastatic seeding of bile duct carcinoma in the transhepatic catheter tract: Report of a case

We describe herein the case of a 51-year-old woman in whom metastatic tumor seeding of the percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage tract occurred following a pancreatoduodenectomy for carcinoma of the distal common bile, duct. An abdominal computed tomography scan done 6 months after the initial operation detected a hepatic lesion located at the site of the previous percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage tract. Implantation of bile duct carcinoma in the drainage tract was diagnosed, and the recurrent tumor was successfully resected by performing a subsegmentectomy of segment 3 and removal of the adjacent abdominal wall. At present, 5 years and 4 months after the second resection, the patient is in good health without any signs of recurrence. This case report demonstrates that an aggressive surgical approach should be performed for tumor seeding of a transhepatic biliary catheter tract.

Effect of continuous cisternal drainage on cerebral vasospasm

Summary The effect of continuous cisternal drainage on cerebral vasospasm was studied under strict criteria in 140 patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms. The degree of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) on the computed tomography scan was graded from I to IV. The patients were classified according to the total amount of cisternal drainage into three groups, regardless of the duration of the drainage and whether or not it was accompanied by irrigation; i.e., those with less than 500 mL (group 157 cases), those with 500–3000 mL (group 2 44 cases), and those with 3000–9500 mL (group 3 39 cases).While correlations could be found between both clinical and SAH grades with the severity of vasospasm, closer correlation could be found in the SAH grades. In analyzing the cases with subarachnoid haemorrhage grades III–IV (severe clots), the angiographic vasospasm was less severe in groups 2 and 3 than in group 1, and the incidences of permanent symptomatic vasospasm and low-density area on computed tomography were lower in groups 2 and 3 than in group 1. Regarding the surgical outcome in cases with SAH grades III–IV, the mortality rate was lower in groups 2 and 3 (22% and 19%) than in group 1 (33%). Further, the rate of good recovery was higher in groups 2 and 3 (61% and 57%) than in group 1 (28%). However, there were no differences between groups 2 and 3 in cerebral vasospasm or in surgical outcome. As a shortcoming of continuous cisternal drainage, the need for shunt operation was higher in groups 2 and 3 than in group 1.     

Inhibition of mixed lymphocyte reaction by thoracic duct lymph: removal of inhibitory effect by thoracic duct drainage in lung cancer.

The inhibitory effect of the thoracic duct lymph of a patient with lung cancer on the "one-way" mixed lymphocyte reaction without cytoxicity is unequivocally demonstrated. The effect seems to be dose related. A moderate inhibition of mixed lymphocyte reaction is still observed, even if the responding cells are preincubated in the thoracic duct lymph for 1 hr only prior to the addition of stimulating cells. The inhibitory effect of thoracic duct lymph on the mixed lymphocyte reaction is no longer evident when the material is added 1-4 days after the beginning of culture. These observations suggest that the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of thoracic duct lymph may be a simple attachment of inhibitory factors to the receptor sites on the responding lymphocytes, causing interference in cell to cell interaction. The inhibitory effect of thoracic duct lymph collected 1 week after the thoracic duct drainage on mixed lymphocyte reaction is significantly lower than that of thoracic duct lymph collected at the beginning of the procedure. This indicates that the blocking effect of thoracic duct lymph can be easily removed by this technique; which is technically feasible in man. The interrelationship of the tumor-specific blocking factor, thoracic duct drainage, and tumor growth pattern are discussed with respect to the potential usefulness of this procedure as adjuvant immunotherapy in the management of patients with neoplastic diseases.     

Crede法排尿与持续导尿对尿路感染和尿道功能影响的研究

目的研究Crede法排尿(间歇人工辅助排尿)与持续导尿对继发尿路感染和远期尿道功能的影响.方法76例神经源性膀胱功能障碍者分别采用Crede法排尿和留置导尿,定期尿液培养进行尿路感染率比较;导尿时间达4～6个月后配合膀胱尿路造影(VCUG)及尿流动力学检查观测尿液返流情况、膀胱颈形态变化和尿道功能指标.结果Crede法排尿组和持续导尿组其尿路感染、尿液返流率分别为16.6%、17.9%和35.1%、40.5%,差异有显著性意义(P＜0.05);VCUG及尿流动力学检查提示持续导尿较C rede法排尿明显损害膀胱颈形态和远期尿道功能.结论对丧失自主排尿功能但无严重意识障碍者宜尽可能减少留置导尿的应用范围和时间,采用Crede法排尿对控制尿路感染、维护和促进排尿功能恢复具有重要意义.

腹膜淋巴孔研究的新进展

腹膜淋巴孔是腹膜下毛细淋巴管在腹膜间皮细胞间的开口。通过淋巴孔、腹膜腔与淋巴管系直接相通,它具有主动吸收功能,是腹膜腔内物质转归的最主要部位。淋巴孔与肝硬化腹水的转归、连续不卧床腹膜透析的失超滤、肿瘤细胞的转移和扩散等密切相关。淋巴孔还具有调控和免疫功能。ＮＯ对淋巴孔调控作用是目前研究的热点,它通过激活鸟苷酸环化酶途径,增加细胞内ｃＧＭＰ,降低Ｃａ＾２＋水平,使淋巴孔产生强烈的舒张,淋巴孔开放数目增多、孔径增大,淋巴引流作用增强。而中药通过提高内源性ＮＯ水平,也能对腹膜淋巴孔进行调控,以促腹水转归。     

Uterine myomas and factors associated with hysterectomy in premenopausal women

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to describe clinical characteristics in premenopausal women with uterine myomas and to identify factors associated with hysterectomy.STUDY DESIGN: Data were collected by chart abstraction in 421 premenopausal women with myomas and analyzed by univariate and multivariable regression.RESULTS: Over a median follow-up period of 29 months, 86% of women had symptoms associated with myomas and 40% had an increase in uterine size of >2 gestational weeks. By multivariable regression, bleeding symptoms at presentation and previous surgical history of cholecystectomy and adhesiolysis were significantly associated with greater odds of hysterectomy. There was a significant interaction between age and uterine size, so that as age increased, uterine size had a greater impact on the likelihood of hysterectomy.CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of premenopausal women myomas were associated with symptoms in almost all women over the follow-up period. Hysterectomy was performed in 22% of women overall. (Am J Obstet Gynecol 1997;176:1213-9.)
