Do forceps biopsies truthfully reflect the nature of endoscopically uncovered polypoid lesions of the colon?

BACKGROUND: Total excision of colonic polyps is not always attainable and in some patients it is clinically contraindicated. Also, a resected polyp may be lost at any step between its endoscopic removal and its embedding in paraffin. The aim of this study was to compare the histological features of colonic polyps as analysed by the study of biopsy-forceps obtained samples with those assessed on scrutinizing the totally resected growths. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This prospective study included a cohort of 59 patients in whom, in the course of an elective colonoscopy, a total excision of a 6 mm-sized or larger polyp was called for. Sizeable biopsies were obtained by means of an Olympus Multibyte forceps prior to the total polypectomy. Subsequent to the study of the polypectomy specimens, the forceps biopsy samples were submitted for histological examination. The pathologists were blinded as to the source of the tissue they were studying. The diagnoses rendered by evaluating the biopsy samples and polypectomy specimens of each patient were contrasted with each other. RESULTS: Major discrepancies between the histological features of the fragments captured by the biopsy-forceps and the factual nature of the totally removed polyps were uncovered in 11 (18.6%) of 59 cases. Intriguingly, the grade of the tumours was underrated in all the 11 cases, as judged by contrasting the tentative diagnoses of the forceps-biopsies with the decisive diagnoses of the polypectomies. Importantly, 2 adenocarcinomas would have been missed by just looking at the forceps-retrieved sample. CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, a discordance of 18.6% is to be expected between the diagnoses rendered after examining forceps-biopsies of and totally excised colonic polyps. Nevertheless, it is advisable to procure biopsies prior to the excision of the growths, because on those occasions in which patients' growths cannot be removed or have not been retrieved for one reason or another, a small forceps-captured tissue sample correctly reflects the characteristics of the polyp in 81.4% of the cases. Finally, the biopsies may be discarded in the event that total removal was successful.     

胰、胆疾病患者血清GLS含量测定

目的　研究胰、胆疾病患者血清GLS含量及其临床意义。方法　测定胰、胆癌症与非癌患者GLS含量 ,然后分组统计分析。结果　胰癌组GLS(973± 32 2mg/L)显著高于胰脏非癌组 (5 75± 2 18)和糖尿病组 (5 37± 87) ;胆道癌组GLS(90 8± 2 73)显著高于胆道非癌组 (5 2 1± 10 9)。该五组GLS阳性率 (>6 6 0mg/L)依次为 93.8%、2 6 .7%、4 .1%、85 .7%、9.3% ;胰、胆癌症组均显著高于非癌疾病组。结论　胰、胆癌症患者血清GLS显著增加 ;测定GLS对癌症诊断具有显著临床意义     

子宫内膜息肉中雌、孕激素受体的表达

目的检测子宫内膜息肉雌激素受体(ER)、孕激素受体(PR)的表达,探索子宫内膜息肉形成的原因及机制。方法子宫内膜息肉48例为观察组,正常子宫内膜36例为对照组,采用免疫组化SP法,行半定量分析,检测ER、PR的表达。结果增殖期的息肉组织中PR表达的评分结果为(2.89±2.16),低于增殖内膜的评分(4.04±1.73),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);分泌期的内膜息肉中ER表达的评分结果为(3.80±1.64),高于分泌期内膜中的评分(2.64±1.45),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论增殖期的子宫内膜息肉中PR的表达降低及分泌期的息肉中ER表达增高可能参与了子宫内膜息肉的形成及发展。     

输尿管息肉的诊断与治疗(附9例报告)

目的：探讨输尿管息肉的诊断与治疗方法。方法：回顾性分析9例输尿管息肉患者的临床资料，结合文献进行讨论。结果：9例患者中，4例行息肉切除加基底部电灼，2例行息肉切除输尿管肾盂吻合术，2例行病变段输尿管切除再吻合术，1例行肾切除术。全部病例均获治愈并经病理证实。结论：放射学检查是诊断输尿管息肉的主要方法，其特征是边缘光滑锐利的充盈缺损。输尿管息肉的治疗以手术为主，应根据息肉的大小，数量，部位及肾脏受累程度选择局部切除术，输尿部分切除术和肾盂成形术等。     

Diagnosis of gallbladder perforation in acute acalculous cholecystitis in critically ill patients

In the presence of ascites ultrasound is not appropriate to distinguish between gallbladder perforation and acute acalculous cholecystitis. However, the correct and early diagnosis of gallbladder perforation is important for the treatment and prognosis. We report 4 critically ill patients with ascites. All patients had evidence of gallbladder perforation by ultrasound and underwent cholecystectomy: 2 patients had gallbladder perforation, but 2 had acalculous cholecystitis without perforation. markedly elevated serum alkaline phosphatase was the only discriminating finding indicating gallbladder perforation.     

胆汁胆固醇对胆囊收缩素受体表达的影响

目的：探讨胆汁胆固醇对胆囊收缩素受体（CCK－R）表达的影响。方法 采用放射免疫分析法和受体放射配基结合法检测对照组、高胆固醇组、自然恢复组及治疗组豚鼠门静脉血CCK水平、胆囊CCK－R的最大结合容量（Bmax）和亲和力（Kd），同时观察空腹胆囊体积（FV）、胆囊胆汁量（FB）和餐后胆囊体积（RV）、胆囊胆汁量（RB）及胆囊收缩率（E％）、胆汁胆固醇浓度的变化。结果 与对照组比较，高胆固醇组豚鼠FV、FB增大（P＜0.05），RV、RB也增大，胆囊收缩率下降（P＜0.01），胆汁胆固醇浓度升高（P＜0.05），门静脉血CCK水平及CCK－R的Kd无改变，而CCK－R的Bmax下降（P＜0.01）；治疗组上述各项指标正常。结论 胆汁中的高胆固醇通过下调胆囊CCK－R表达而导致胆囊收缩功能障碍，降低胆汁高胆固醇浓度可以促进胆囊动力功能的恢复。

Abdominal ultrasonography in the diagnostic work-up in children with recurrent abdominal pain

We report on our experience with routine abdominal ultrasonography in 120 children (aged 3–15 years) with recurrent abdominal pain, in order to determine the diagnostic value of this investigation. Eight children (7%) revealed sonographic abnormalities: gallbladder stone (n = 2), splenomegaly (n = 1) and urogenital abnormalities (n = 5). The recurrent abdominal pain could be explained by these findings in only two (may be three) cases. Conclusion The diagnostic value of abdominal ultra‐sonography in unselected children with recurrent abdominal pain is low. However, the direct visualization of the abdominal structures as being normal may be helpful to the parents and the child in their understanding and acceptance of the benign nature of recurrent abdominal pain.
