Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) using 'O' rings is widely accepted as a treatment of oesophageal varices that is at least as effective as endoscopic injection sclerotherapy but which produces fewer complications. Endoscopic variceal ligation using detachable snares has attracted attention as a safe and easy method of endoscopic treatment for gastric varices. Nineteen patients with acute bleeding from oesophageal or gastric varices were treated in the present study. Of these, 14 patients were treated with EVL using 'O' rings and five patients were treated with EVL using detachable snares and the treatment results were evaluated. Haemostasis was achieved in all patients. No serious complications of the procedures were observed. However, recurrences and rebleeding were observed in some patients during the maximum follow-up period of 24 months. Endoscopic variceal ligation using 'O' rings and detachable snares is useful for achieving haemostasis in cases of acute bleeding from oesophageal or gastric varices. However, additional endoscopic sclerotherapy may be needed to eliminate the variceal feeding vessels to further improve the long-term prognosis of these patients. 相似文献

Left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) volume characteristics in 43 patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) undergoing no prior surgical intervention, aged 3–50 months, were evaluated. The control group consisted of 45 patients with Kawasaki disease without cardiac lesions, aged 12–82 months. The TOF patients were divided into four groups: those having arterial oxygen saturation < 80% with an age at the time of study < 18 months (group 1a) or with that ≧ 18 months (group 1b), and those with arterial oxygen saturation ≧ 80% with an age < 18 months (group 2a) or with that ≧ 18 months (group 2b). The results were compared with those in control subjects. In group 1a, each of LV end-diastolic volume (EDV), LV ejection fraction (EF), RVEDV and RVEF was reduced. In group 1b, LVEDV, LVEF and RVEF were decreased. In groups 2a and 2b, RVEF alone was depressed. From these results, the severity of hypoxemia was an important risk factor for ventricular dysfunctions. No influence of age on the volume characteristics was found. The investigations suggested that patients with TOF having an arterial oxygen saturation < 80% are probably candidates for early surgical intervention. 相似文献

Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C in human hepatocellular carcinoma 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Background/Aims: Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C) is thought to be an important factor in tumor angiogenesis/lymphangiogenesis, but its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not yet been fully investigated. Methods: We immunohistochemically examined VEGF‐C expression in surgically resected tissues of 90 HCC. Results: In the 78 HCC with a single histological grade, VEGF‐C expression was significantly stronger in poorly differentiated HCC than in well‐ (P = 0.003) or moderately differentiated HCC (P = 0.0002). A ‘nodule‐in‐nodule’ case presented VEGF‐A expression in the well‐differentiated component and VEGF‐C expression in the moderately–poorly differentiated component. According to nodular diameter, VEGF‐C expression was significantly higher in nodules of 3.0 cm or larger (P = 0.0263). Extrahepatic metastases seen in seven cases expressed VEGF‐C. In 20 of the 28 cases who were able to be followed up, the frequency of intrahepatic recurrence tended to be higher and extrahepatic metastasis was significantly higher in the cases who had VEGF‐C expression in the tumor casts of the intrahepatic portal/hepatic vein branches than other cases without the expression (P = 0.0139). Disease‐free survival time tended to be shorter in cases with VEGF‐C expression in tumor casts of the portal/hepatic vein than in those without VEGF‐C expression (P = 0.053; log–rank test). Conclusions: VEGF‐C expression is related to the progression of HCC, and VEGF‐C expression in tumor casts of the intrahepatic portal/hepatic vein is considered to be a factor indicating recurrence/metastasis sites. 相似文献

Control of the renal vein represents a crucial step in laparoscopic nephrectomy. Although endovascular gastrointestinal anastomosis (GIA) staplers have generally been used for renal vein control because of the large diameter of the vessel, Hem-o-lok clips have recently been used for renal artery control. GIA staplers are expensive and can malfunction on rare occasions, resulting in severe complications. We evaluated renal vein control using Hem-o-lok clips (adaptive vascular width 7-16 mm) in laparoscopic nephrectomy. Since April 2004, we have ligated renal arteries using Hem-o-lok clips. From June 2004, this method was applied for renal vein control in 40 laparoscopic nephrectomies. After renal pedicle dissection, renal pedicle ligation was accomplished using extra large (XL) Hem-o-lok clips on both the renal arteries and veins by placing two clips on the patient side and one clip on the specimen side. Ligation times for obtaining renal vein control were compared between XL Hem-o-lok clips and GIA staplers in 40 cases before June 2004. Vascular control using XL Hem-o-lok clips was successful in all 40 cases, without any slipping of clips or uncontrolled bleeding. After renal pedicle dissection, ligation time for achieving renal vein control was 167.0 +/- 48 s (range: 122-295 s) using XL Hem-o-lok clips (mean, three clips) and 68 +/- 24.0 s (range: 54-150 s) using a GIA stapler. XL Hem-o-lok clips allow safe and reliable control of renal veins in laparoscopic nephrectomy. Ligation time is only 100 s longer than using a GIA stapler. In addition, costs are reduced by more than 90% compared to GIA stapling. 相似文献

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) has increasingly been recognized, and it is well known that SIH is sometimes complicated by chronic subdural hematoma (SDH). In this study, 55 cases of SIH with SDH were retrospectively analyzed, focusing on therapeutic strategies and outcomes. Of 169 SIH cases (75 males, 84 females), 55 (36 males, 19 females) were complicated by SDH. SIH was diagnosed based on clinical symptoms, neuroimaging, and/or low cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Presence of orthostatic headache and diffuse meningeal enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging were regarded as the most important criteria. Among 55 SIH with SDH cases, 13 improved with conservative treatment, 25 initially received an epidural blood patch (EBP), and 17 initially underwent irrigation of the hematomas. Of the 25 initially treated with EBP, 7 (28.0%) needed SDH surgery and 18 (72.0%) recovered fully without surgery. Of 17 SDH cases initially treated with surgery, 6 (35.7%) required no EBP therapy and the other 11 (64.3%) needed EBP and/or additional SDH operations. In the latter group, 2 cases had transient severe complications during and after the procedures. One of these 2 cases developed a hoarse voice complication. Despite this single, non-severe complication, all enrolled in this study achieved good outcomes. The present study suggests that patients initially receiving SDH surgery may need additional treatments and may occasionally have complications. If conservative treatment is insufficient, EBP should be performed prior to hematoma irrigation. 相似文献
