Bilocular atrial malignant mesenchymoma causing mitral and localized pulmonary vein flow obstruction: diagnosis by transoesophageal echocardiography.

Cardiac malignant mesenchymoma is an extremely rare malignancy with poor prognosis. We report a patient presenting with a history and clinical findings typical of mitral stenosis. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a mass on the thickened posterior mitral leaflet. Transoesophageal echocardiography revealed two tumoural masses: one on the atrial side of the posterior mitral leaflet causing mitral obstruction, the other arising in the region of the right lower pulmonary vein orifice and obstructing inflow through this vein.     

植入镍钛记忆合金支架治疗恶性胆道梗阻的临床分析

目的 评价植入镍钛记忆合金支架治疗恶性胆道梗阻的疗效。方法 对16例恶性胆道梗阻患者。采用经手术及介入方法植入镍钛记忆合金胆道支架。结果 术后1个月内死亡1例，15例黄疸完全解除。随访15例，12例术后平均生存13．1个月。结论 植入镍钛合金胆道支架可提高姑息切除的疗效；对不能切除病灶患者，支架植入可解除黄疸，改善生活质量。     

Malignant Warthin''s tumour: a case study

Malignant transformation of a benign Warthin's tumour (adenolymphoma) is extremely rare. The light microscopic and ultrastructural features of an adenocarcinoma arising in a Warthin's tumour in the parotid gland are described. Light microscopy demonstrated a transition zone from the benign to the malignant component, and the malignant cells revealed oncocytic features by both light- and electronmicroscopy.     

原发睾丸恶性淋巴瘤：（附13例报告）

自1977～1988年我院共收治13例原发睾丸恶性淋巴瘤,占同期睾丸恶性肿瘤的11.5％。本病少见,大部分发生在50岁以上。本文50岁以上者10例,约占80％。此病预后差,本文11侧2年内死亡,占85％。5年生存率仅为15％。本文5例术后辅以放、化疗,8例术后单纯化疗,两者生存期无明显差异,故我们认为手术 化疗为本病的首选治疗方案。     

EDOP方案治疗复发难治性恶性淋巴瘤45例分析

目的:观察EDOP方案治疗复发难治性恶性淋巴瘤的疗效和毒副作用。方法:对45例复发难治性恶性淋巴瘤患者采用EDOP联合化疗方案进行治疗。结果:EDOP联合化疗方案有效率为(CR+PR)71.1%,完全缓解率(CR)为33.3%,部分缓解(PR)37.8%。主要不良反应为骨髓抑制和胃肠道反应。结论:EDOP方案治疗难治性或复发性恶性淋巴瘤有效率高,毒副反应低,值得进一步研究和推广。     

健脾疏肝利水法为主内外合治恶性腹腔积液

观察健脾疏肝利水为主的中医药内服外敷治疗恶性腹腔积液的疗效。设治疗组 3 8例采用内服中药加中药外敷腹部 ,配服西药利尿剂。对照组 2 7例 ,常规服西药利尿剂及对症治疗 ,疗程均为 1个月。结果 :治疗组有效率为65 7% ,对照组有效率为 48 1% (P <0 0 5 )。生存期 6个月以上、1年以上者 :治疗组分别为 12例、4例 ,对照组为 5例、0例。提示以中医药内外合治为主对恶性腹腔积液疗效明显高于单纯用西药利尿剂     

Vanishing pleural fluid collections in cardiac failure simulating lung tumours

Vanishing fluid collections in interlobar fissures, associated with congestive cardiac failure, are uncommon but well-recognized. Previous studies have highlighted the occurrence of solitary vanishing ‘tumours’, but in the study reported here 7 out of 12 consecutive patients presented with more than one interlobar fluid collection simulating pulmonary tumours. In most cases a lateral radiograph confirmed the correct diagnosis and in all cases follow-up radiographs demonstrated resolution of all pleural fluid collections. In one case ultrasound was helpful. Making the correct diagnosis is very important inorder to prevent inappropriate investigations and treatment such as biopsy or surgery. It is suggested that unusual pleural fluid collections may be more common in communities where pleural disease following stab wounds or tuberculosis are more prevalent.     

颈外动脉栓塞在耳鼻咽喉科的应用

在耳鼻咽喉科手术中应用颈外动脉栓塞法１０例，形成栓塞组，并把单纯颈外动脉结扎１０例作为对照组。结果表明：栓塞组较对照组术中出血量显著减少，有利于病灶彻底清除，因而有提高治愈率减少复发率的作用。掌握栓塞位置、栓塞剂用量和注射速度是防止并发症的关键。     

Malignant melanoma of the nose

Absract  Malignant Melanoma of the nose is a rare neoplasm, with primary mucosal melanoma being more aggressive than its cutaneous counterpart (Land,1982). The presentation is often not as dramatic as compared to its progression. While cutaneous melanomas typically present with obvious and consistent features, melanomas of the mucosal form are often diagonised late due to their hidden location and relatively non-specific features. This tumour can metasiasise by lymphasies or bloodsream. Moreover the tumour is often quite resistent to complete cure especially due to reccurence and metastotis. We wish to empahsize that early diagonisis with a high index of suspicion is essential for the management of this condition, by means of two case reports of patients who attended the ENT clinic at Southend Hospital, UK, both of whom were being treated for nasal polyposis in whom the diagonisis susbsequently turned out to be malignant melanoma.     

血管内皮生长因子与胸腔积液

血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）是目前已知活性最强、高度特异的血管生长因子。研究表明：VEGF可使血管通透性增加、渗出增多，在促进胸腔积液形成的过程中起重要作用。深入研究VEGF为进一步认识胸腔积液的发病机制及发展新的治疗策略提供了条件。
