Nationwide investigations of intestinal obstruction in Japan

Two nationwide questionnaire surveys of intestinal obstruction in Japan were undertaken, covering two two-year periods, from January, 1975 to December, 1976 and from January, 1985 to December, 1986, respectively. The findings of a comparative review of these two surveys indicated that although the overall mortality of intestinal obstruction had not changed between 1975/76 and 1985/86, being 6.8 per cent and 6.5 per cent, respectively, simple adhesive obstruction had decreased from 3.2 per cent in 1975/76 to 2.0 per cent in 1985/86. The main cause of adhesion was laparotomy and in cases of both simple adhesive obstruction and strangulated adhesive obstruction, the rate of adhesion secondary to laparotomy of the upper gastrointestinal tract and colon and rectum had increased between 1975/76 and 1985/86. Obstructions caused by neoplasms had increased from 8.2 per cent in 1975/76 to 10.0 per cent in 1985/86, while those caused by adhesions had incresed further still, from 42.5 per cent in 1975/76 to 60.8 per cent in 1985/86. Among the latter group, nonoperatively treated cases had increased, which may be accounted for by the fact that facilities which adopt non-operative treatment using intestinal decompression as the first choice for simple adhesive obstruction cases have increased. In both surveys, the mortality of cases receiving nonoperative treatment was lower than that of operative cases.     

Respiratory obstruction after posterior fossa surgery

We report a case of acute upper airway obstruction after tracheal extubation 24 hours after surgery. The respiratory complications of surgery for posterior fossa lesions are discussed.     

The importance of vaginal mucosal folds at the urethral external meatus

We report on the vaginal mucosal folds (VMF) at the urethral external meatus. Resection of the VMF reduces the dispersed micturition and other urinary symptoms. EDITORIAL COMMENT: The investigators describe the presence of a vaginal mucosal fold (VMF) just dorsal to the urethral meatus and its relationship to voiding abnormalities. VMF were found on physical examination in 8.9% of the clinic population, all of whom complained of dispersed micturition, and 79% also experienced other voiding abnormalities. The complaint of dispersed micturition was successfully treated with excision of the VMF, and the other associated symptoms were improved. This structure should be routinely looked for on physical examination, especially in patients with voiding symptoms. Only further investigation of this newly described entity at other centers around the world will determine the incidence of the anatomic finding and the prevalence of associated voiding disturbances across different populations.     

Techniques for high-resolution MR imaging of atherosclerotic plaque

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in the United States. Investigation of atherosclerotic plaque morphology and composition is important because the findings may be useful in predicting prognosis or response to therapy. This study presents high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques developed on a 1.5-T whole-body imager with a custom-built surface coil, for characterizing the composition and morphology of plaque removed at carotid endarterectomy. The initial comparison of MR imaging and histologic results showed good correlation. In conjunction with MR angiography, these techniques could be used in in vivo imaging to define the size, location, and contents of atherosclerotic plaque at the carotid bifurcation.     

Prostate Development in Prune Belly Syndrome (PBS) and Posterior Urethral Valves (PUV): Etiology of PBS-Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction or Primary Mesenchymal Defect?

Prune belly syndrome (PBS) has been recognized since 1950 as the triad of absent abdominal wall musculature, undescended testes, and urinary tract anomalies. The etiology, however, remains uncertain. Theories of mesenchymal maldevelopment, obstruction, and genetic origin have been proposed. To evaluate the role of lower urinary tract obstruction as it relates to prostatic development and PBS, we studied the lower urinary tract of 15 cases of PBS, 8 cases of posterior urethral values (PUV), and 34 age-matched controls. It is generally accepted that prostatic growth and development are dependent on mesenchymal-epithelial interactions. We evaluated the mesenchymal and epithelial differentiation and relationships, and found distinctly different and consistent abnormalities between PBS and PUV as compared with one another and controls. The findings suggest that in PBS, prostatic growth and development are hindered because of destruction or absence of the appropriate primitive mesenchyme. Our studies could not definitely exclude very early obstruction as a cause of the findings because of lack of appropriate fetal material.     

Techniques of nasotracheal intubation with the fiberoptic bronchoscope

When nasotracheal intubation with a fiberoptic bronchoscope is performed, the tube may be blocked in the nasal cavity or larynx, resulting in several complications including epistaxis and hoarseness. We review the causes and complications of tube blockage and discuss optimal techniques for minimizing it.     

内皮素-1及受体基因在良性前列腺增生组织中的表达及意义

老年肝外胆管梗阻85例治疗分析

目的：探讨老年性肝外胆管梗阻的治疗。方法：85例老年胆管梗阻中良性疾病引起的梗阻为59例，主要是由于胆管结石嵌顿MIRRIZI‘S综合征；恶性肿瘤引起的梗阻为26例，主要为壶腹部周围癌，肝门区肿瘤等。手术分别采取胆囊切除术、胆总管切开取石＋T管引流术、胰十二指肠切除术、腹部探查＋内外引流术以及ERCP下行置管内支撑术后引流和ENBD等。结果：良性疾病引起的梗阻中仅1例术后死于ARDS，恶性肿瘤 引起的梗阻者中有11例术后死于肝肾综合征、ARDS和DIC等。结论；手术仍是老年肝外胆管梗阻的首选方法。老年患者合并其它脏器病变，病情较重者如先行胆管引流，能有效降低病死率及延长生命。
