磁共振成像在深部肛周脓肿诊断中的应用

Objective To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of deep anorectal abscess. Methods Twenty-one patients who were suspected of having deep anorectal abscess were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January 2006 to December 2007, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Phased-array coil MRI was applied to all patients before the operation. We compared the efficacy of MRI and rectal digital examination in the classification of deep anorectal abscess and the diagnosis rate of internal opening according to the postoperative results. All data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results Nineteen patients were diagnosed with deep anorectal abscess, one patient had presacral cyst combined with infection and one patient had perianal mucinous adenocarcinoma. A total of 25 lesions were identified, including 14 ischiorectal abscesses, five pelvirectal abscesses, and six high intersphincteric abscesses. Thirteen patients had single space abscesses and six had multiple space abscesses. There were no significant differences in the diagnosis rate between MRI (12/19) and rectal digital examination for internal opening (13/19) (χ2 =0. 116, P>0.05). The accuracy rate was significantly different between MRI (25/25) and rectal digital examination (16/25) in the classification of deep anorectal abscess (χ2 = 10.970, P <0.05). Operative exploration revealed that there were 13 patients with single space abscesses and six with multiple space abscesses. The accuracy rate was significantly different between MRI (19/19) and the rectal digital examination (13/19) for detecting multiple space abscesses (χ2 =7. 125, P <0. 05). Conclusions MRI with a phased-array coil can accurately detect the extent of deep anorectal abscess and its relationship with anorectal sphincters. MRI examination is helpful in excluding potential lesions in the anorectal region.     

直肠类癌的诊断与治疗

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of rectal carcinoid. Methods Clinical data of 16 patients of rectal carcinoids in our hospital from January 2000 to December 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Related literatures were reviewed. Results Among the patients included, 11 cases(68.8%)suffered from hypogastralgia, 3 cases(18.8%)bloody stool, 3 cases(18.8%)defecation number increase. All the patients underwent enteroscopy. The average size in diameter of all the tumors was 8.8 mm. 81.3% of the tumors ≤10 mm in diameter. The average distance from tumor to anus was 6.8 cm and 87.5% of the tumors ≤8 cm in distance, Only 25% of all the cases were diagnosed preoperatively, most cases were diagnosed as other diseases and definitely diagnosed by postoperative pathology. 14 cases underwent operation as radical resection of rectal carcinoma, and 2 cases endoscopic removal. There was no operative death and postoperative five-year survival rate is 69.2%. Conclusions Preoperative diagnosis rectal carcinoid is difficult.Misdiagnosis rate is high. The key point of improving diagnosis of this disease is annal digital examination. Enteroscopy and pathology, operation is the first choice to treat rectal carcinoid.

美国与中国两组结直肠克罗恩病患者临床表现及病情严重程度比较

Objective To evaluate the differences in clinicopathological characteristics and severity between American and Chinese patients with colorectal Crohn disease (CD). Methods Between March 1985 and September 2004, 68 patients with colorectal CD in Cleveland Clinic Florida (America)and 85 patients with colorectal CD in the 301 Hospital (China) were enrolled in the study. Data of two groups,including demographics, clinical characteristics, extraintestinal manifestations, presenting symptoms, location and pathological characteristics,were compared. Results 60.3% of American patients and 36.5% of Chinese patients were female (P=0.003). 11.8% of American patients and 1.2% of Chinese patients had a family history of CD(P=0.016). American patients had a significantly higher rate of extraintestinal disease (39.7% vs 20.0%), abscess(19.0% vs 0), and anorectal fistulas(51.5% vs 0). American patients had significantly more extensive disease than Chinese patients (pancolitis:44.1% vs 4.7% ,P＜0.01). American patients had a significantly higher rate of disease involving the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, anorectal area compared with Chinese patients (all P＜0.05). Conclusions American patients with colorectal Crohn disease seem to have a female predominance, a higher rate of CD family history, to involve the distal intestinal tract more often,and have more severe clinical manifestation and pathological process, as compared with Chinese patients.

Spinal epidural abscess: a meta-analysis of 915 patients

Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) was first described in the medical literature in 1761 and represents a severe, generally pyogenic infection of the epidural space requiring emergent neurosurgical intervention to avoid permanent neurologic deficits. Spinal epidural abscess comprises 0.2 to 2 cases per 10,000 hospital admissions. This review intends to offer detailed evaluation and a comprehensive meta-analysis of the international literature on SEA between 1954 and 1997, especially of patients who developed it following anesthetic procedures in the spinal canal. In this period, 915 cases of SEA were published. This review is the most comprehensive literature analysis on SEA to date. Most cases of SEA occur in patients aged 30 to 60 years, but the youngest patient was only 10 days old and the oldest was 87. The ratio of men to women was 1:0.56. The most common risk factor was diabetes mellitus, followed by trauma, intravenous drug abuse, and alcoholism. Epidural anesthesia or analgesia had been performed in 5.5% of the patients with SEA. Skin abscesses and furuncles were the most common source of infection. Of the patients, 71% had back pain as the initial symptom and 66% had fever. The second stage of radicular irritation is followed by the third stage, with beginning neurological deficit including muscle weakness and sphincter incontinence as well as sensory deficits. Paralysis (the fourth stage) affected only 34% of the patients. The average leukocyte count was 15,700/μl (range 1,500–42,000/μl), and the average erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 77 mm in the first hour (range 2–50 mm). Spinal epidural abscess is primarily a bacterial infection, and the gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus is its most common causative agent. This is true also for patients who develop SEA following spinal anesthetics. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) displays the greatest diagnostic accuracy and is the method of first choice in the diagnostic process. Myelography, commonly used previously to diagnose SEA, is no longer recommended. Lumbar puncture to determine cerebrospinal fluid protein concentrations is not needed for diagnosis and entails the risk of spreading bacteria into the subarachnoid space with consequent meningitis; therefore, it should not be performed. The therapeutic method of choice is laminectomy combined with antibiotics. Conservative treatment alone is justifiable only for specific indications. Laminotomy is a therapeutic alternative for children. The mortality of SEA dropped from 34% in the period of 1954–1960 to 15% in 1991–1997. At the beginning of the twentieth century, almost all patients with SEA died. Parallel to improvements in the mortality rate, today more patients experience complete recovery from SEA. The prognosis of patients who develop SEA following epidural anesthesia or analgesia is not better than that of patients with noniatrogenic SEA, and the mortality rate is also comparable. The essential problem of SEA lies in the necessity of early diagnosis, because only timely treatment is able to avoid or reduce permanent neurologic deficits.

<正> Objective:To study the manifestation,pathohistologic type,stage of disease,treatment andoutcome of epithelial ovarian carcinoma in women under the age of 30 years.Methods:The 21 cases of epithelial ovarian carcinoma in women aged below 30 years betweenJan,1986 and Mar,2002 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:The median age at the time of diagnosis was 24 years(range,16-29 years).All car-cinomas occurred after menarche.The most common symptoms were abdominal pain(50%),fol-lowed by tympanites(25%)and menstrual disorders(19%).The initial diagnosis was usuallymade by physical examination,ultrasonography and serum CA125.The mean maximal tumor di-ameter was 17.6 cm.Ten patients had Stage Ⅰ disease(5 Ⅰa,5 Ⅰc),five had Stage Ⅲ disease,andthe other six were unknown during staging operation.There were nine mucinous tumors,six se-rous tumors.Most tumors were well-differentiated and classified as Grade1 in 11 cases,Grade2 in2 cases,Grade3 in 2 cases,unknown in 6 cases.Optimal and suboptimal cytoreduction wasachieved in 14 patients in primary treatment and 5 in recurrent treatment.8 patients were treatedwith conservative surgery.18 patients were treated with chemotherapy and 7 patients had experi-enced six or more than six courses of chemotherapy.The median follow-up was 50 months(range,2-192 months).There were 6 deaths,2 alive with tumor,11 alive without the disease,2losing follow-up.The 3-year survival rate was 89%,and 5-year survival rate was 76%.Conclusion:Young patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma appeared to have a less aggres-sive form of the disease and a more favorable prognosis.     

PERFACT procedure to treat supralevator fistula-in-ano: A novel single stage sphincter sparing procedure

AIM: To prospectively perform the PERFACT procedure in supralevator anal fistula/abscess.METHODS: Magnetic resonance imaging was done preoperatively in all the patients. Proximal cauterization around the internal opening, emptying regularly of fistula tracts and curettage of tracts(PERFACT) was done in all patients with supralevator fistula or abscess. All types of anal fistula and/or abscess with supralevator extension, whether intersphincteric or transsphincteric, were included in the study. The internal opening along with the adjacent mucosa was electrocauterized. The resulting wound was left open to heal by secondary intention so as to heal(close) the internal opening by granulation tissue. The supralevator tract/abscess was drained and thoroughly curetted. It was regularly cleaned and kept empty in the postoperative period. The primary outcome parameter was complete fistula healing. The secondary outcome parameters were return to work and change in incontinence scores(Vaizey objective scoring system) assessed preoperatively and at 3 mo after surgery.RESULTS: Seventeen patients were prospectively enrolled and followed for a median of 13 mo(range 5-21 mo). Mean age was 41.1 ± 13.4 years, M:F-15:2. Fourteen(82.4%) had a recurrent fistula, 8(47.1%) had an associated abscess, 14(82.4%) had multiple tracts and 5(29.4%) had horseshoe fistulae. Infralevator part of fistula was intersphincteric in 4 and transsphincteric in 13 patients. Two patients were excluded. Eleven out of fifteen(73.3%) were cured and 26.7%(4/15) had a recurrence. Two patients with recurrence were reoperated on with the same procedure and one was cured. Thus, the overall healing rate was 80%(12/15). All the patients could resume normal work within 48 h of surgery. There was no deterioration in incontinence scores(Vaizey objective scoring system). This is the largest series of supralevator fistula-in-ano(SLF) published to date. CONCLUSION: PERFACT procedure is an effective single step sphincter saving procedure to treat SLF with minimal risk of incontinence.
