内镜黏膜下剥离术治疗直肠类癌

目的探讨内镜黏膜下剥离术（ESD）治疗直肠类癌的应用价值。方法肠镜发现直肠黏膜下肿块后进行微探头超声检查，对诊断为类癌者应用头端弯曲的针形切开刀进行内镜黏膜下剥离术治疗：（1）黏膜下注射生理盐水抬高病灶，使病灶与肌层分离；（2）预切开病灶周围黏膜；（3）剥离病变下方黏膜下层结缔组织，完整切除病灶。结果5例直肠类癌患者，肿瘤直径0.4～1.2（平均1．1）cm，均成功完成ESD治疗。ESD手术时间（自黏膜下注射至完整剥离病变）20-45（平均35）min；术中创面少量出血，均经电凝、氩离子血浆凝固和止血夹成功止血。不需再次肠镜下止血。1例剥离深至肌层，出现皮下气肿，保守治疗好转。术后全部经病理确诊。基底和切缘未见病变累及。1个月后肠镜复查，创面基本愈合。结论ESD是治疗直肠类癌的新方法．以往需要外科手术切除的肿瘤通过ESD可以达到同样的治疗效果。     

MANAGEMENT TO PREVENT BLEEDING DURING ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION USING THE FLUSH KNIFE FOR GASTRIC TUMORS

The gastric vasculature responsible for intraoperative bleeding in endosocpic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the ramified vascular network occupying the middle of the submucosal layer and large vessels penetrating the muscle layer. Appropriate management for these vessels must be addressed. The trimming of the ramified vascular network can be safely performed with coagulation mode following shallow mucosal cutting. A large penetrating vessel usually requires precoagulation prior to dissection. These procedures are effectively performed with the water jet short needle knife (Flush knife).     

Pseudodissection of the coronary artery: A variation caused by interventional tools

During PTCA immediate decisions often must be made on the basis of a less than optimum data set. We present a combination of factors which produce an incorrect perception of a coronary artery dissection. This potential must be understood by the interventionalist to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate therapeutic maneuvers. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection mimicking aortic dissection

A 51-year-old woman suffered rapidly irreversible cardiogenic shock with left hemiparesis. Transesophageal echocardiography, which represents an essential imaging tool in the emergency room, ruled out aortic dissection involving branch vessels but did not allow an in vivo diagnosis of spontaneous coronary dissection. The in vivo diagnosis of spontaneous coronary dissection is rather difficult because of the dramatic clinical presentation and selective coronary angiography requirement.     

Upper tibial corticocancellous flap anatomy study (19.2.93)

Summary A cortico-cancellous flap from the anterolateral aspect of the upper third of the tibia was presented. Sixty lower limbs of fresh cadavers were dissected. The vascular bundle includes the anterior tibial artery and its recurrent collateral branches and recurrent and muscllo periostal arteries. The flap is harvested with the interosseous membrane and can be used either free or pedicled. We used this flap for two patients suffering from pseudarthrosis. Long range clinical and radiological results are good.

Le transfert osseux vascularisé tibial superieur

Résumé Les auteurs décrivent un transfert ostéo-periosté vascularisé, prélevé sur la face antéro-latérale de l'extremité supérieure du tibia. L'étude anatomique porte sur soixante membres inférieurs, conservés au froid. La vascularisation métaphysaire du transfert provient de la branche récurrente tibiale antérieure et de ses rameaux, la vascularisation diaphysaire étant issue des branches musculo-périostiées proximales. Le transfert vascularisé est prélevé avec la membrane interosseuse et peut être pediculé ou libre. L'expérience clinique porte sur deux cas de pseudarthroses multiopérées. Les résultats cliniques et radiologiques sont bons à long terme.

Report of a child with aortic aneurysm,orofacial clefting,hemangioma, upper sternal defect,and Marfanoid features: Possible PHACE syndrome

We report a female patient who had a scalp hemangioma, a cleft uvula, an upper sternal defect, pectus excavatum, arachnodactyly, pes planus, and joint hypermobility. She had rupture of an aortic aneurysm after minor trauma at 11 years of age. At 17 years of age, elective repair of a dilated, ectatic aorta was complicated by cerebral ischemia. Other vascular abnormalities in the proband included an aneurysm of the left subclavian artery, atresia of the right carotid artery, and calcified cerebral aneurysms. We believe that the proband's physical anomalies are best described by the PHACE (posterior fossa brain malformations, hemangiomas, arterial anomalies, coarctation of the aorta and cardiac defects, and eye abnormalities) phenotypic spectrum. This spectrum of physical anomalies also includes sternal clefting and hemagiomas as part of the sternal malformation/vascular dysplasia (SM/VD) association, as found in our patient, and the acronym PHACES has also been used. We consider that the PHACE phenotypic spectrum is likely to be broader than previously recognized and includes orofacial clefting and aortic dilatation and rupture. Our patient also had skeletal anomalies that lead to consideration of Marfan syndrome as a diagnosis. It should be recognized that there is clinical overlap between PHACE syndrome and Marfan syndrome when aortic dilatation is present. We would also like to emphasize the minor nature of the cutaneous findings in our patient despite her severe vascular complications. This is in contrast to previous reports of large or multiple hemangiomas in PHACE syndrome. Published 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

Impact of Dissection after Drug-Coated Balloon Treatment of De Novo Coronary Lesions: Angiographic and Clinical Outcomes

PurposeDissection after plain balloon angioplasty is required to achieve adequate luminal area; however, it is associated with a high risk of vascular events. This study aimed to examine the relationship between non-flow limiting coronary dissections and subsequent lumen loss and long-term clinical outcomes following successful drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment of de novo coronary lesions.Materials and MethodsA total of 227 patients with good distal flow (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow grade 3) following DCB treatment were retrospectively enrolled and stratified according to the presence or absence of a non-flow limiting dissection. The primary endpoint was late lumen loss (LLL) at 6-month angiography, and the secondary endpoint was target vessel failure (TVF, a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, and target vessel thrombosis).ResultsThe cohort consisted of 95 patients with and 132 patients without a dissection. There were no between-group differences in LLL (90.8%) returning for angiography at 6 months (0.05±0.19 mm in non-dissection and 0.05±0.30 mm in dissection group, p=0.886) or in TVF (6.8% in non-dissection and 8.4% in dissection group, p=0.799) at a median follow-up of 3.4 years. In a multivariate analysis, the presence of dissection and its severity were not associated with LLL or TVF. Almost dissections (93.9%) were completely healed, and there was no newly developed dissection at 6-month angiography.ConclusionThe presence of a dissection following successful DCB treatment of a de novo coronary lesion may not be associated with an increased risk of LLL or TVF (Impact of Drug-coated Balloon Treatment in de Novo Coronary Lesion; {"type":"clinical-trial","attrs":{"text":"NCT04619277","term_id":"NCT04619277"}}NCT04619277).     

La densidad de los ganglios linfáticos en la linfadenectomía retroperitoneal como marcador novel para predecir la recurrencia en pacientes con cáncer testicular de células germinales: estudio de casos y controles y experiencia clínica a largo plazo de un hospital de referencia terciario

Introduction and objectivesIn this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate lymph node (LN) density in retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) to analyze whether residual mass after chemotherapy might behave as predicting factor for recurrence in patients with germ cell testicular cancer (GCTC).Materials and methodsThe data of 185 patients that were operated between 12/2004 and 02/2017 because of GCTC were reviewed retrospectively. LN density was calculated. The patients were compared statistically in terms of demographic features, tumor characteristics, serum tumor marker levels, treatment strategies, and pathological results according to GCTC subtypes. Correlation analysis was performed to determine the parameters related to recurrent disease.ResultsThe median follow-up was 79 (31-179) months and the median age of the patients was 23 (16-71). The median tumor size was 4 (1-18) cm. Five (2.7%) patients had metastatic disease at initial diagnosis. Seminoma, non-seminomatous-GCT and mix type-GCTC was detected in 62 (33.5%), 60 (32.4%) and 63 (34.1%) patients, respectively. Following inguinal orchiectomy, 48 (25.9%) patients underwent follow-up, 126 (68.1%) patients underwent chemotherapy and 11 (5.9%) patients underwent radiotherapy. A total of 21 (11.4%) patients underwent post-chemotherapy RPLND. Early and late recurrence was seen in 3 (1.6%) and 2 (1.1%) of the patients, respectively. A mild to moderate, negative, but significant correlation was found between the recurrence and the number of LNs containing metastatic deposits and LN density (r= –0.490, P=.024 and r= –0.450, P=.041, respectively).ConclusionsThere was a negative correlation between the number of LNs containing metastatic deposits and LN density and recurrent disease.
