Localized wall thickening of the gallbladder mimicking a neoplasm

Clinical diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis is made based on diffuse hyperechoic thickening of the gallbladder wall as shown by ultrasonographic examination. We herein report three cases of chronic cholecystitis showing localized hypoechoic thickening of the gallbladder wall that mimicked gallbladder cancer by ultrasonography. Histologically, hypertrophy of the muscularis propria was a common characteristic finding in these three patients. A smooth surface of the inner hypoechoic layer of the thickened wall was considered to be a reliable finding in the differential diagnosis between this type of chronic cholecystitis and gallbladder cancer.

健身宝对衰老模型小鼠血清SOD和MDA的影响

目的　研究健身宝补脾益肾、延缓衰老的作用机制。方法　将 60只小鼠随机分为 6组 ,除正常对照组外均每日注射对D -半乳糖造成衰老模型 ,同时给予不同剂量的健身宝和金匮肾气丸。 6周后检测小鼠血清中SOD活性、MDA含量。结果　衰老模型组与正常对照组比较 ,小鼠血清中SOD活性显著降低 ,MDA含量显著升高 (P <0 .0 1 ) ;而健身宝大、中剂量组与正常对照组相比较 ,小鼠血清中SOD活性显著升高 ,MDA含量显著降低 ,与衰老模型组相比较有显著性差异 (P <0 .0 5 )。结论　健身宝明显提升D -半乳糖拟衰小鼠血清中SOD活性 ,降低MDA含量 ,可从调节自由基代谢和提高抗氧化能力方面发挥延缓衰老的作用。

电视硬质气管镜治疗大气道良性肿瘤

目的探讨电视硬质气管镜在大气道良性肿瘤治疗中的价值.方法2002年9月～2005年4月,我院应用电视硬质气管镜治疗大气道良性肿瘤7例,其中气管1例,隆突1例,左主支气管3例,右主支气管2例.手术采用静脉全身麻醉,喷射通气供氧,探查评估气道后,首先冷冻或电凝肿瘤,破坏肿瘤血供,再以活检钳分块取出,蒂部采用冷冻或氩气凝固处理;对于宽蒂肿瘤,内镜下将肿瘤主体清除后中转开胸行气管局部切除吻合术.结果7例手术均顺利,无一例死亡和严重并发症发生.6例气管窄蒂良性肿瘤镜下完整摘除,1例气管膜部宽蒂平滑肌瘤先内镜清除肿瘤主体后中转开胸行气管局部切除.术后病理为错构瘤2例,平滑肌瘤3例,嗜酸性肉芽肿性腺瘤1例,炎症组织1例.7例随访3～36个月,平均17.3月,无肿瘤复发.结论电视硬质气管镜治疗大气道良性肿瘤安全可靠.     

Saccular Aneurysm of the Azygos Anterior Cerebral Artery: Three Case Reports

The azygos anterior cerebral artery, a rare anomaly in the circle of Willis in which only a single vessel supplies the medial aspects of both anterior cerebral hemispheres, is closely associated with saccular aneurysms. We present three cases of azygos anterior cerebral artery aneurysms among the 781 cerebral aneurysms surgically treated at our institution in an 11-year period. These three cases all involved elderly women who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conventional cerebral angiography and CT angiography revealed small saccular aneurysms at the distal ends of the azygos anterior cerebral arteries. These aneurysms were clipped successfully using a bifrontal interhemispheric approach. Hence, the pathogenesis of these particular aneurysms relating to hemodynamic change, associated anomalies, and surgical pitfalls is discussed with review of literature.     

医源性桡神经损伤46例分析

目的阐述医源性桡神经损伤的伤因、治疗和预防措施。方法分析1991年～2003年间收治的46例医源性桡神经损伤的病例。结果伤因分为上肢手术误伤，肱骨干和桡骨上端闭合性骨折复位手法不当，头静脉穿刺致桡神经浅支损伤。本组21例保守治疗，22例手术治疗，3例行肌腱转位功能重建。结论手术误伤是医源性桡神经损伤的首要原因；临床医生丰富的解剖知识和细致、轻柔的操作是预防医源性桡神经损伤的关键。     

Treatment of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation-does resection in the early postnatal period increase surgical risk?

OBJECTIVE: The recent development of fetal ultrasonography has allowed for an increasing number of prenatal diagnoses for congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM). However, the appropriate surgical timing of these patients has not been studied as of yet. The aim of this study is to suggest a safe strategy for the treatment of CCAM by identifying the relationship between the timing of surgery and postoperative outcome. METHODS: Between 1987 and 2003, 40 patients (28 males, 12 females) underwent surgical resection for CCAM. The mean age was 38.6+/-9.1 (2 days-13 years) months. CCAM was diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography in eight patients. Early operations were performed in four out of the eight. Operation was deferred until 2-12 months of age for the remaining four patients. RESULTS: Type I CCAM was found in 20 patients, type II in 20 and no patient exhibited type III. Five patients had associated pectus excavatum anomaly. There were no cases of operative mortality. Seventeen minor postoperative complications developed in 16 patients (40.0%): prolonged chest tube drain in 10, wound infection in 4, and 1 case of pneumonia, empyema and pleural space, respectively. The average hospital stay was 11.8 (6-29) days. During the mean follow-up period of 67.5 months, one patient died of accidental aspiration 7 months after operation during the postoperative recovery course of Ravich operation for pectus excavatum. The remaining patients reported doing well with normal physical activity. All five patients who underwent surgery at the age of under 1 month did not exhibit increased postoperative morbidity. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that surgery for CCAM could be safely performed in all age groups with satisfactory long-term outcomes. It is suggested that early elective surgical correction can be recommended for a patient whose diagnosis was made in utero.
