Currently, conventional diagnosis of acetabular fractures is often supplemented and even replaced by CT examination, as this can provide a more detailed image of the extent of fracture and its morphology. Supported by developmental anatomy, Harris et al. proposed a new classification for acetabular fractures in which the pubic bone component of the acetabulum is shown to coincide with the anterior column of the acetabulum. There is no need to abandon the generally accepted and much used Letournel-Judet classification, but changes in the algorithm of acetabular fracture examination will certainly require that the CT classification of acetabular fractures is included. The Harris classification, based on evaluation of simple and unambiguous axial CT scans, is readily understood by both radiologists and orthopedic trauma surgeons and thus the use of it will foster greater interdisciplinary cooperation resulting in a better care for patients with acetabular fractures. Key words: acetabular fracture, CT-based classification, CT-based diagnosis. 相似文献

Background The presentation and management of esophageal cancer are changing, as more patients are diagnosed at an earlier stage of the
disease in which endoscopic treatment methods may be contemplated. Therefore, we conducted a study to determine whether symptomatic
and endoscopic findings can accurately identify node-negative early-stage adenocarcinoma.
Methods A total of 213 consecutive patients (171 men and 42 women) with resectable esophageal adenocarcinoma seen from 1992 to 2002
were evaluated. None of these patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Using a multivariable model,
model-based probabilities of early-stage disease (T1 im/sm N0) were calculated for each combination of the following three
features: no dysphagia as main symptom at presentation, tumor length ≤2 cm, and noncircumferential lesion.
Results Eighty-two percent of the patients with all three characteristics presented with early-stage disease. Even in the setting
of small, visible, noncircumferential tumors/nodules in patients without dysphagia, 14% of the patients harbored node metastasis.
Conclusions Simple clinical and endoscopic findings predicted early-stage disease in 82% of cases, whereas a small but significant percentage
had node metastasis. Because node metastasis predisposes to local failure in nonresectional treatment options such as endoscopic
mucosal resection and photodynamic therapy, such findings should have a significant bearing on treatment decisions.

Does multidetector-row CT eliminate the role of diagnostic laparoscopy in assessing the resectability of pancreatic head adenocarcinoma? 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Background We hypothesized that the high-quality images from multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) would lead to improved sensitivity and specificity for predicting resectable pancreatic head adenocarcinoma, thus diminishing the value of staging laparoscopy.Methods Forty four consecutive patients underwent thin-section dual-phase MDCT to stage their tumor, followed by an attempted pancreaticoduodenectomy. Four radiologists who were blinded to the operative outcome reviewed the scans and graded the presence of distant and nodal metastases, as well as the degree of arterial and portal involvement. The radiologic criteria for resectability were no distant metastasis, a patent portal vein, and <50% arterial involvement.Results The overall resectability for this cohort was 52% (23/44). The 21 unresectable cases, included five liver metastases, three peritoneal metastases, and 13 locally invasive tumors. The negative margin resection rate was 34% (15/44). There were no portal vein resections. The sensitivity and specificity of MDCT for predicting resectability were 96% (22/23) and 33% (7/21), respectively. In this cohort, the positive and negative predictive values were 61% (22/36) and 87.5% (7/8), respectively. As determined by univariate logistic regression, only the degree of arterial involvement was a significant predictor of resectability (p = 0.02). As determined by multivariate logistic regression using both arterial and portal involvement, arterial involvement was predictive (p = 0.03) but portal vein involvement was not (p = 0.45).Conclusions Despite the improvements in image quality obtained with multidetector-row technology, CT imaging remains a relatively nonspecific test for predicting resectability in patients with adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas. Minimally invasive modalities with higher specificity, particularly laparoscopy, continue to have an important role in staging pancreatic head adenocarcinoma. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: With currently available technology, the outcomes of human islet isolation and purification are still inconsistent, in part due to a lack of control of the pancreas donor and the procurement conditions. Using a single donor pancreas, the critical islet mass for establishing insulin independence of approximately 5000 engrafted islet equivalents (IEQ)/kg of recipient weight can only be retrieved from about one third of isolations. The purpose of this study was to analyze whether successful islet isolation and purification outcomes might be predicted from the density of native pancreatic tissue. METHODS: Tissue slices (TS) were obtained from the neck of 9 nondistended human donor pancreata. The density of the TS was determined using gravity sedimentation in continuous density gradients under either iso-osmolar or hyperosmolar conditions. Correlation coefficients were calculated with regard to the density of isolated exocrine and endocrine tissue, donor age, body mass index (BMI), cold ischemia time (CIT), IEQ prepurification and postpurification, IEQ recovery, and purity. RESULTS: (1) There was no change in density over time for TS in 300 mOsm/kg (mean, 1.079 +/- 0.0019 g/cm(3)) (2) In 500 mOsm/kg, there was a significant increase in density from 1.086 +/- 0.0021 g/cm(3) to 1.092 +/- 0.0021 g/cm(3) over time. (3) Density of isolated exocrine and endocrine became more distinct with lower density of TS (r = -0.776; P < .05). (4) Donor age, BMI, recovery of IEQ from gradients, and number of IEQ after purification did not correlate significantly with TS density. (5) In contrast, a significant inverse correlation existed betwen TS and CIT (r = -0.829; P < .05), and between TS versus IEQ number prior to purification (r = -0.867; P < .05). CONCLUSION: No homogeneous distribution of pancreas tissue density was seen among 9 consecutive human organs. Taken together, the density of native pancreas TS is not a suitable sole predictor for successful islet isolation and purification. 相似文献

Background: Chronic rejection (CR) in liver allografts show a rapid onset and progressive course, leading to graft failure within the first year after transplantation. Most cases are preceded by episodes of acute cellular rejection (AR), but histological features predictive for the transition toward CR are not well documented. Method: We assessed the predictive value of centrilobular necrosis, central vein endothelialitis (CVE), central vein fibrosis, and lobular inflammation in the development of CR. One-week and one-month biopsy specimens of 12 patients with CR were compared with those of a control group consisting of 17 patients, who experienced AR without developing CR. The progress of the histological changes was further evaluated in follow-up biopsy specimens of the CR group taken at 2 months and beyond 3 months after transplantation. Result: Centrilobular necrosis, CVE, central vein fibrosis, and lobular inflammation were common features in both groups at 1 week. At 1 month, the incidence declined in the control group. The CR group showed an increased incidence and persistence of these features in the follow-up specimens. The incidence and median grade of severity of CVE was significantly higher in the CR group (p=0.04, and P<0.001). The severity of portal and lobular inflammation was also more pronounced in the CR group (P+0.01 and 0.069). Conversely, in the control group the incidence of the lobular features decreased and the severity of CVE declined significantly (P=0.03). Conclusion: The shift from a predominantly portal-based process toward lobular graft damage represents the early transition of AR to CR, for which a modification of immunosuppression might be necessary to prevent graft loss. 相似文献

Purpose
In pancreatic cancer, the presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) precludes the possibility of a surgical cure, irrespective of the resectability of the primary tumor. However, peritoneal spread cannot be reliably detected radiographically during preoperative tumor staging.Methods
The pancreatic adenocarcinoma database of the Tübingen Comprehensive Cancer Center included 29 patients in whom PC was incidentally detected during the surgery. These patients were retrospectively compared for patient- and tumor-related factors with 29 randomly selected patients without PC who underwent curative resection.Results
Clinical jaundice and diarrhea were more frequently present in patients without PC. The CA 19-9 levels were significantly higher in patients with PC compared to those in patients without PC. No other differences were observed in the patient- or tumor-related factors between the two groups.Conclusion
In pancreatic cancer patients, markedly elevated CA 19-9 levels may serve as surrogate marker for peritoneal dissemination, irrespective of the local resectability of the tumor. In such patients, laparoscopy should be considered as an additional staging tool to rule out peritoneal carcinomatosis. 相似文献7.

Pancreatic head adenocarcinoma (PHAC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies, and it has low long-term survival rates. Surgery is the only option for long-term survival. The difficulties associated with PHAC include higher frequencies of regional or distant lymph node metastases and vascular involvement, and positive resection margins in pancreatic and retroperitoneal tissues. Radical resections increase margin negativity and life expectancy; however, the extend of the surgery applied is controversial. Thus, western and eastern centers may use different approaches. Multiorgan, peripancreatic nerve plexus, and vascular resections have been discussed in relation to radical surgery for pancreatic cancer as have the roles of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy regimens. Determining the appropriate limits for surgery, standardizing definitions and surgical techniques according to guidelines, and centralizing pancreatic surgery within high-volume institutions to reduce mortality and morbidity rates are among the most important issues to consider. In this review, we evaluate the basic concepts underlying and the roles of radical surgery for PHAC, and lymphadenectomy, nerve plexus, retroperitoneal tissue, vascular, and multivisceral resections, total pancreatectomy, and liver metastases are discussed. 相似文献

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Endoprosthesis has been used to maintain luminal patency in several different diseases and is well established in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal pathologies. The usefulness and application in prostatic pathology and benign prostatic hyperplasia are not as clear. This report reviews the development of overactive bladder in patients with bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. It also describes a new application of prostatic stents in patients with combined overactive bladder and bladder outlet obstruction. RECENT FINDINGS: Over the last few decades, interest has been focused on the pathology of overactive bladder due to bladder outlet obstruction. Persistent outlet obstruction can certainly induce overactivity in some cases. However, the significance of preoperative identification of the latter problem is still an open issue, and it is obviously of vital importance to find instruments to identify parameters of prognostic significance. Different prostatic stents have been used for a variety of purposes. Recent studies have demonstrated that prostatic stents are effective in relieving obstruction and urinary retention. However, the role of prostatic stents in bladder outlet obstruction is still not clear when compared with other minimally invasive options. By using a prostatic stent to simulate transurethral resection of the prostate, the risk of post-resection incontinence in patients with combined severe bladder outlet obstruction and severe overactive bladder has been possible to assess before the operation. However, larger controlled clinical studies are needed to corroborate the value of the test. SUMMARY: Prostatic obstruction can induce severe overactive bladder in some cases. A prostatic stent to relieve outflow obstruction and to simulate transurethral resection of the prostate decreases the risk of post-resection incontinence in patients with combined severe bladder outlet obstruction and severe overactive bladder because very high risk patients can be excluded from surgery. The stent test indicates that patients who do not leak and experience reduced symptoms when they are relieved of their outlet obstruction can be advised to have a transurethral resection of the prostate. 相似文献

The aim of this project was to evaluate the ice-water test as a predictor of the response to intradetrusor botulinum toxin
injection in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity. We retrospectively evaluated the urodynamic parameters in 22
patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction and positive ice-water test. Maximum cystometric capacity (MCC), reflex volume
(RV), maximum detrusor pressure during voiding (MVP) and bladder compliance (BC) were compared before and after intradetrusor
injection of 300 units botulinum toxin and calculated as a quotient. The ice-water test was performed before the injection,
and the maximum pressure rise and the time to maximum pressure were measured. Furthermore, the ratio between maximum pressure
and time to reach maximum pressure was calculated as the velocity of pressure rise. Correlations between the ice-water test
criteria and the quotients of the cystometric data before and after injection were determined by the Spearmen’s Rho coefficient.
The increase in MCC and RV after botulinum toxin A injection showed a small positive, but insignificant correlation of 0.25
and 0.2 to the velocity of pressure rise of the ice-water test. A small negative, but insignificant correlation was found
in change of BC and MVP with −0.17 and −0.2, respectively. Based on our population the ice-water test cannot predict the efficacy
of intradetrusor botulinum toxin injections in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity. 相似文献

Can quantitative sensory testing predict the outcome of epidural steroid injections in sciatica? A preliminary study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) is a psycho-physiological test used to identify dysfunction of individual nerve fiber types. In the present study, we investigated whether selective nerve fiber dysfunction, as assessed by QST, correlates with the effectiveness of epidural steroid injections (ESI) in patients with lumbar radiculopathy. Twenty patients with unilateral painful sciatica caused by disc herniation participated in this open study. Before ESI, quantitative thermal and mechanical sensory testing was conducted at the most painful dermatome and the contralateral dermatome. The primary outcome measure used was the self-recording of pain intensity twice daily with a 0-10 numerical pain scale (NPS). Secondary efficacy measures included the Short Form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire, the straight leg raising test, and the lumbar range of motion. A significant difference in all types of sensory thresholds between the affected and the contralateral dermatomes was detected at baseline. All outcome measures improved subsequent to the ESI. A significant positive correlation was found between the increase in cold sensation thresholds of the affected dermatome (Adelta-fiber dysfunction) and the improvement in NPS. The increase in touch and vibration thresholds (Abeta-fiber dysfunction) was found to be inversely correlated with the improvement in NPS. No correlation was found between heat sensation thresholds (C fibers) and any of the outcome measures. These results suggest that QST has the potential to be an important tool in the selection of the appropriate treatment (e.g., ESI versus surgery) for patients with sciatica and may assist in identifying the mechanisms of pain generation in these patients. 相似文献

The impingement test, placement of local anesthetic in the subacromial space, is considered a useful tool in diagnosing impingement syndrome. The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive value of the impingement test with respect to outcome after arthroscopic subacromial decompression. Fifty-five patients who had a preoperative impingement test were evaluated at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. We noted 88% satisfactory results in patients in whom the impingement test was positive, with only 63% satisfactory results at 3 months and 60% satisfactory results at 12 months in patients in whom the impingement test was negative. Although workers' compensation patients tended to have lower scores than others, the impingement test result was more predictive of outcome than was compensation status. Impingement test results and preoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores were independent predictors of postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores. Our evidence indicates that the impingement test can be used as a predictor of outcome for patients with impingement syndrome treated by arthroscopic subacromial decompression. 相似文献

Background
Management and palliation of pancreatic head adenocarcinoma is challenging. End-of-life decision-making is a variable process involving multiple factors.Methods
We conducted a qualitative, physician-based, 40-question international survey characterizing the impact of medical, religious, social, training and system factors on care.Results
A total of 258 international clinicians completed the survey. Respondents were typically fellowship-trained (78%), with a mean of 16 years’ experience in a university-affiliated (93%) hepato-pancreato-biliary group (96%) practice. Most (91%) believed resection is potentially curative. Most patients were discussed preoperatively by multi-disciplinary teams (94%) and medical assessment clinics (68%), but rarely critical care (21%). Intraoperative surgical palliation included double bypass or no intervention for locally advanced nonresectable tumours (41% and 49% v. 14% and 85%, respectively, for patients with hepatic metastases). Postoperative admission to the intensive care unit was frequent (58%). Severe postoperative complications were often treated with aggressive cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intubation and critical care (96%), with no defined time points for futility (74%). Admitting surgeons guided most end-of-life decisions (97%). Formal medical futility laws were rarely available (26%). Insurance status did not alter treatment (97%) or palliation (95%) in non–universal care regions. Clinician experience, regional culture and training background impacted treatment (all p < 0.05).Conclusion
Despite remarkable overall agreement, geographic and training differences are evident in the treatment and palliation of pancreatic head adenocarcinoma. 相似文献16.

IntroductionThe use of SIRS score as a predictor of outcomes in patients with severe burns has not been fully evaluated. Here, we aimed to test that whether admission SIRS score, combining with other predictors, could be used in predicting outcomes in patients with severe burns. Additionally, we compared the prognostic accuracy of admission SIRS score with other score systems and newly developed models.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study of adult patients with ≥40% total body surface area burns admitted to a burn center from 2005 to 2017. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and the secondary outcomes were hospital and intensive care unit length of stay. SIRS score, rBaux score, ABSI and newly developed models were compared using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.ResultsOut of the total 144 patients, 128 (88.9%) met SIRS criteria on admission; with a predominant SIRS scores of 3. Patients with admission SIRS were more likely to have larger burns and have higher rBaux and ABSI scores when compared with non-SIRS patients. With the each increment of admission SIRS score, total and full-thickness burn areas, proportion of inhalation injury, tracheostomy and mortality increased significantly. However, SIRS score at admission was not increasingly predictive of deleterious outcomes when analyzed by multivariable regression analysis. Although the combination of SIRS score, age, and burn-specific variables showed better or equal prognostication of outcomes than that of other score systems, the contribution of the variable SIRS score was negligible.ConclusionsThe model with the variables age, percentage full-thickness burns, and inhalation injury provided excellent prediction of poor outcomes in patients with severe burns, while SIRS score has limited use for prognostic determinations. 相似文献

Trials of vaccines for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: Is there any hope of an improved prognosis?
Pancreatic tumors are chemoresistant and malignant, and there are very few therapeutic options for pancreatic cancer, as the disease is normally diagnosed at an advanced stage. Although attempts have been made to develop vaccine therapies for pancreatic cancer for a couple of decades, none of the resultant protocols or regimens have succeeded in improving the clinical outcomes of patients. We herein review vaccines tested within the past few years, including peptide, biological and multiple vaccines, and describe the three sets of criteria used to evaluate the therapeutic activity of vaccines in solid tumors. 相似文献

Can osteonecrosis of the femoral head be recurrent? 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Three patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head in whom the extent of necrosis increased by repeated episodes of osteonecrosis are described. In all cases the evidence of two attacks of osteonecrosis was detected clearly on magnetic resonance images. The significance of the recurrent attacks of osteonecrosis is not clear and the detectable incidence of the recurrence seems to be low. The authors propose the possibility that the osteonecrosis may be the result of multiple episodes of necrosis. 相似文献

The purpose of the study was to assess in patients with a diabetic foot infection (DFI), whether differences in skin temperature of the affected foot as compared to the corresponding site on the contralateral foot using dermal thermometry (DT) correlates with infection severity and clinical outcome. As part of the SIDESTEP DFI study, investigators took DT measurements at baseline and the discontinuation of intravenous therapy (DCIV) and performed a systematic evaluation of the infected limb to calculate a wound score. We compared the skin temperature differential between the limbs at the two assessments and determined the correlation between this value and surrogate markers of inflammation and the clinical response to treatment. Among patients enrolled in SIDESTEP, 332 were fully evaluable. The mean temperature differential between the limbs was 2.81 +/- 5.75 degrees F at baseline and 2.43 +/- 4.84 degrees F at DCIV (mean change: -0.37; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.98, 0.23; P= 0.225). Skin temperature differential at baseline did not correlate with white blood cell count, level of C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate or the infection severity score (r= 0.058, 0.148, -0.002, 0.067, respectively). We observed no overall trend between surface temperature differential at baseline and clinical outcome at DCIV, but patients with a skin temperature differential of > or =10 degrees F at baseline had a significantly lower clinical response than those whose differential was <10 degrees F (81.4% versus 94.3%; difference 12.9%; 95% CI: 3.5, 27.3%, P= 0.007). While there was no overall relationship between skin temperature and poor clinical outcome, there may be a threshold effect in DT (<10 degrees F versus >10 degrees F) between the limbs at baseline that predicts outcome of therapy. 相似文献
