Aim
Congenital undescended scapula (Sprengel deformity) is a rare deformity that is reported in the literature mostly as small case series with short- or medium-term follow-up periods. Here, we aimed to present the long-term results of this deformity treated with modified Green procedure. 相似文献4.

Bleeding from portal hypertensive gastropathy
(PHG) has been estimated to account for upto 30%
of all upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage in patients
with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Although
portal hypertension seems to be an essential prerequisite,
the precise mechanisms responsible for
the development of PHG are unknown. The aim of
this study was to examine the role of injection sclerotherapy
of oesophageal varices in the development
of PHG. Gastric emptying was studied using a
radionuclide test meal with the emptying characteristics
of a slow liquid in 57 patients with cirrhosis
and/or portal hypertension (median age 53 yrs), of
whom 34 had received injection sclerotherapy for
their oesophageal varices and 20 normal healthy
volunteers (median age 42 yrs). As vagal damage is
associated with more rapid emptying of liquids,
despite hold up of solids, this technique might be
expected to demonstrate such damage if gastric
emptying was accelerated. The results indicated that
there was no difference in the rate of gastric
emptying between normal healthy volunteers and
portal hypertensive patients. However, patients who
had received injection sclerotherapy emptied their
stomachs faster than those who had not (p<0.05).
Furthermore, the speed of gastric emptying correlated
directly with the number of injections (r=0.41;
p=0.02) and the volume of sclerosant injected
(r=0.39; p=0.03). These observations suggest that
injection sclerotherapy for oesophageal varices
results in disturbances of gastric emptying that
may contribute to the pathogenesis of portal hypertensive
gastropathy. 相似文献

Background Gynecomastia is defined as the benign enlargement of the male breast. Most studies on surgical treatment of gynecomastia show
only small series and lack histopathology results. The aim of this study was to analyze the surgical approach in the treatment
of gynecomastia and the related outcome over a 10-year period.
Patients and methods All patients undergoing surgical gynecomastia corrections in our department between 1996 and 2006 were included for retrospective
evaluation. The data were analyzed for etiology, stage of gynecomastia, surgical technique, complications, risk factors, and
histological results.
Results A total of 100 patients with 160 operations were included. Techniques included subcutaneous mastectomy alone or with additional
hand-assisted liposuction, isolated liposuction, and formal breast reduction. Atypical histological findings were found in
3% of the patients (spindle-cell hemangioendothelioma, papilloma). The surgical revision rate among all patients was 7%. Body
mass index and a weight of the resected specimen higher than 40 g were identified as significant risk factors for complications
(p < 0.05).
Conclusions The treatment of gynecomastia requires an individualized approach. Caution must be taken in performing large resections, which
are associated with increased complication rates. Histological tissue analysis should be routinely performed in all true gynecomastia
corrections, because histological results may reveal atypical cellular pathology. 相似文献

Between January 1986 and December 1995, 18 episodes of bacteremia occurred in our pediatric patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis
on an outpatient basis. Seven episodes were caused by coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, 6 by Staphylococcus aureus, 2 by Mycobacterium, and 1 each by Pseudomonas, Xanthomonas, and Enterococcus. In 6 cases, the catheter was retained with antimicrobial therapy alone, whereas 12 cases required removal of the catheter
after some period of time. The subset of cases in which catheter removal was necessary included 2 cases of Mycobacterium fortuitum complex and 5 cases of Staphylococcus aureus. We found that Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia may be cleared with antibiotic therapy alone in a minority of cases (17%). In the 6 cases in which catheters were
retained and infections cleared, the maximum length of time to sterilization of blood with appropriate antibiotics was 48

Objective
To evaluate immediate and long-term results of cardiac transplantation at two different levels of urgency.Methods
From November 2003 to December 2012, 228 patients underwent cardiac transplantation. Children and patients in cardiogenic shock were excluded from the study. From the final group (n=212), 58 patients (27%) were hospitalized under inotropic support (Group A), while 154 (73%) were awaiting transplantation at home (Group B). Patients in Group A were younger (52.0±11.3 vs. 55.2±10.4 years, P=0.050) and had shorter waiting times (29.4±43.8 vs. 48.8±45.2 days; P=0.006). No difference was found for sex or other comorbidities. Haemoglobin was lower and creatinine higher in Group A. The characteristics of the donors were similar. Follow-up was 4.5±2.7 years.Results
No differences were found in time of ischemia (89.1±37.0 vs. 91.5±34.5 min, P=0.660) or inotropic support (13.8% vs. 11.0%, P=0.579), neither in the incidence of cellular or humoral rejection and of cardiac allograft vasculopathy. De novo diabetes de novo in the first year was slightly higher in Group A (15.5% vs. 11.7%, P=0.456), and these patients were at increased risk of serious infection (22.4% vs. 12.3%, P=0.068). Hospital mortality was similar (3.4% vs. 4.5%, P=0.724), as well as long-term survival (7.8±0.5 vs. 7.4±0.3 years).Conclusions
The results obtained in patients hospitalized under inotropic support were similar to those of patients awaiting transplantation at home. Allocation of donors to the first group does not seem to compromise the benefit of transplantation. These results may not be extensible to more critical patients. 相似文献11.

Introduction
Debate remains regarding the optimal caliber of ureteroscopes in the management of pediatric urolithiasis, ranging from pediatric scopes to standard scopes. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of stone management in a pediatric population using standard adult ureteroscopes.Methods
A retrospective review of all ureteroscopic procedures in patients under the age of 16 years was carried out. Standard adult 7.5 French semi-rigid and 6 French flexible ureteroscopes were used.Results
During the study period, 8 patients underwent 21 ureteroscopic procedures. Two patients had rigid ureteroscopy, seven had flexible ureterorenoscopy and one had a subsequent open procedure. No patients required ureteric dilation. Double J ureteric stents were utilized in 7 patients. There were no complications. All patients required extra corporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Stone clearance was achieved in all patients.Conclusion
Our series demonstrates that, in skilled hands, adult ureteroscopes can be use safely for the treatment of urolithiasis in pediatric patients.Key Words: Urolithiasis, Paediatric urolithiasis, Ureteroscopy 相似文献19.

Background
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a cornerstone immunosuppressive drug after liver transplantation (OLT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the long term results of the addition of MMF in maintenance OLT recipients.Methods
From 1996 to 2006, MMF was introduced because of (1) histologic features of rejection or (2) calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) toxicity in order to reduce CNI dosage.Results
The study population included 208 patients (median, age 54 ± 9 years), with a median delay between OLT and MMF introduction of 54 ± 43 months. The median dosage of MMF was 1180 mg/d at the end of follow-up. After a median follow-up of 50 ± 26 months, 26.4% of the patients taking MMF did present ≥1 side effect and MMF discontinuation rate was 13.8% (transient in 3.8%). The main side effects were digestive disorders (45%), pruritus ± rash ± mucitis (12.7%), and myelosuppression (16.4%). MMF was withdrawn because of digestive disorders (17.2%), pruritus ± rash ± mucitis (17.2%), and myelosuppression (24.1%). The mean glomerular filtration rate as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula value significantly increased after the introduction of MMF (58.1 vs 71.4 mL/min; paired t-test; P < .01). Improvement of renal function was significantly associated with initial association with tacrolimus (vs cyclosporine), initial trough level of cyclosporine (not tacrolimus), delay between OLT and MMF introduction, and age of renal impairment.Conclusion
Our results suggest that the introduction of MMF in OLT maintenance recipients is efficient and well-tolerated (one quarter of the patients presented significant side effects, leading to treatment discontinuation in 10% of the patients). 相似文献20.
