Acute Claudication caused by Angio-Seal Closure Devices: a Report of Four Cases

Femoral artery closure devices are increasingly used after percutaneous arterial interventions to obtain hemo-stasis at the puncture site. Their efficacy and advantages in patient comfort are established. Nevertheless they can cause their own specific complications. In a five month’s period we had to treat four patients with sudden onset invalidating claudication after the use of an Angio-Seal closure device. Malpositioning of the device led to the ischemic complications. We describe and illustrate the pre-and peroperative findings and the treatment. Interventionalists should monitor and register ischemic complications following the use of puncture site closure devices in order to try and minimize these. The occurrence of few serious complications can outweigh the relative small benefits these devices offer.     

Acute focal bacterial nephritis: report of four cases

Focal acute bacterial nephritis is a localized bacterial infection of the kidney presenting as an inflammatory mass not containing drainable pus. The further distinction between acute focal bacterial nephritis and other renal masses is aided by the appropriate use of renal sonography and computed tomography. We report 4 cases with this entity.     

Iatrogenic limb ischemia caused by angiography closure devices

Described are 2 cases of lower limb ischemia that resulted after deployment of 2 different arterial closure devices. One patient presented acutely with lower limb ischemia after an Angio-Seal (St Jude Medical, Minnetonka, Minn) device deployed at the conclusion of cerebral artery aneurysm embolization. The second patient, who underwent angioplasty for aortic recoarctation, presented with claudication 1 week after deployment of the Perclose (Perclose, Redwood City, Calif) device. The use of such devices can result in significant complications, and cardiologists, interventional radiologists, and vascular surgeons are advised to have a high index of suspicion for such complications and work in close conjunction to provide prompt and adequate treatment.     

肠系膜血管病变引起的急腹症八例报告

目的：全面认识肠系膜血管病变引起的急腹症的严重性，提高疗效。方法：对8例临床特点、治疗方法和效果进行了分析比较。结果：6例经手术病理证实，初诊多表现为急腹症，症状和体征不相符，5例误诊，1例术前确诊，2例肠系膜血管供血不足经CT及腹腔动脉造影明确诊断并经药物治疗，7例治愈，1例死亡。结论：该病较少见，症状和体征无特异性，难以做出准确的诊断，B超和CT是较敏感的检查，对诊断有积极的作用。早期切除坏死肠段，包括静脉阻塞的肠系膜部分，术中和术后抗凝治疗是预防复发、降低病死率的重要措施。     

误吞牙签致急性肠道穿孔2例

正异物摄入在临床实践中不是一个罕见的问题。虽然大多数摄入的异物通过胃肠道顺利通过,但牙签等尖锐的异物会导致肠穿孔,临床时有报道。临床上,误吞异物时有发生,其中误吞牙签偶有报道[1,2]。部分患者误吞异物后,未给予足够重视。当出现消化道梗阻或穿孔时,才选择就医,     

急性肠系膜缺血所致的急腹症(附22例报告)

目的总结急性肠系膜缺血(AMI)所致急腹症的临床特征并探讨提高疗效的措施。方法回顾性总结22例AMI的临床特点、治疗方法及其预后的关系。结果AMI病人大多属于高龄,常伴有心血管疾病,病情危急多变,缺乏特异表现,其术前误诊率、病死率和致残率分别为72.7%、36.4%和21.4%。结论加强对AMI病理生理的认识,选择合适的影像学检查等以提高早期确诊率,及时给予以手术为主的综合治疗是提高疗效的关键。     

肠系膜血管病变引起的急腹症：附17例报告

为了全面认识肠系膜血管病变异致的急腹症的严重性，探讨提高疗效的措施。方法对１７个病例的临床特点，治疗方法和效果进行了分析比较，其中１５例为循环不良引起受累肠管的梗塞，表现为肠梗阻；另２例为血管壁破裂导腹腔内大出血，包括１例少见的肠系膜卒中。结论说明充分认识此疾患，应用恰当的检查技术，早期诊断，及时治疗是提高疗效的关键。     

他莫昔芬致高脂血症引发急性胰腺炎一例

正他莫昔芬(三苯氧胺)应用于雌激素受体阳性、绝经前的乳腺癌患者,其副作用常见的有恶心、呕吐、皮疹、脱发,少见的有血栓形成,更罕见的严重并发症—他莫昔芬导致高脂血症引发急性胰腺炎,病症凶险,后果严重。本文结合一病例并文献复习,阐明病因及临床诊治注意事项,及时预防治疗此类疾病的发生。病例患者女性,50岁,主诉无既往高血压、糖尿病史及血脂异常病史,饮食习惯无明显改变。2016年12月12日术中冰冻     

Implant infection caused by dermatitis: a report of two cases

We report 2 cases of implant infection with Staphylococcus aureus associated with dermatitis. In both cases, the skin at the surgical site was normal and full antiseptic measures were taken. One patient had a history of chronic asteatotic eczema complicated by cellulitis; the other had generalised exfoliative dermatitis with an atopic aetiology. Dermatitis at sites remote from the operative site may be a contributing factor in implant infection.     

Acute fulminant necrotizing colitis caused by amebiasis: report of a case

Fulminating colitis rarely develops as a complication of amebiasis; however, it is difficult to diagnose and treat, and associated with a very high mortality rate. We report herein the case of a 62-year-old man with superacute fulminant necrotizing amebic colitis who, despite treatment with aggressive surgery and antiamebic agents, died of multiple organ failure following sepsis on the 25th day after onset. The patient had no immmunosuppressive disorders and claimed that he had never had homosexual intercourse, or traveled to the tropics in recent years. Since the incidence of amebiasis is increasing in developed countries, including Japan, more attention should be focused on the fulminating nature of this disease.

颈脊髓源性间歇性跛行16例临床治疗与分析

间歇性跛行有神经源性、血管源性和脊髓源性3种类型,前2种临床上较常见,而颈脊髓受压所致脊髓源性间歇性跛行相对少见,有其独特的临床特点。自1999年9月-2005年2月,治疗颈脊髓源性间歇性跛行患者16例,报告如下。1临床资料1.1一般资料本组16例,男9例,女7例;年龄为41～69岁,平均5     

Snapping pes syndrome: a report of four cases

We present a series of four patients with what we have termed the snapping pes syndrome. This is a painful clicking and catching experienced at the posteromedial corner of the knee when moving from flexion to extension. Clinical examination and real time ultrasound are the most useful diagnostic tools. If medical treatment is unsuccessful surgical excision of both the semitendinous and gracilis tendons is indicated for relief of persistent symptoms.     

Bilateral testicular cancer: a report of four cases

Bilateral testicular cancer represents from 2 to 5% of all testicle tumors, even though this prevalence nowadays is increasing. The median age of presentation was from 15 to years and in approximately 75% of them occurred metachronously. There used to be concordance in histological findings between both testicles, being seminoma the most common histological type. The most important risk factor in the development of testicular cancer is the presence of intratubular germ cell neoplasia. Radical orquiectomy is the treatment to choose, although in some carefully selected patients testis-sparing surgery may be considered. We present four cases attended in our medical service, we analize the risk factors, management of tumors and a medical literature review is done.

分析 4例下肢动脉栓塞超声消融术后患者并发急性肾衰竭的诊治资料。下肢动脉栓塞后因肌肉坏死引起骨骼肌溶解综合征及再灌注损伤等因素是术后并发急性肾衰竭的主要原因。及时诊治是防止急性肾衰竭的重要手段     

Gamma nail breakage: a report of four cases

Gamma nails have been used extensively for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures. Nail breakage at the level of the aperture of the lag screw is rare. We report 4 such cases mainly associated with a large posteromedial cortex gap and nonunion. The need for adequate reduction to avoid such a complication is emphasised.
