Effects of prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α) and prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) on nerve-mediated secretion in guinea-pig colon

We have applied conventional flux-chamber and intracellular recording methods to investigate the effects of the prostaglandins PGF₂ and PGI₂ upon epithelial ion transport and on the electrical behaviour of submucosal neurones in guinea-pig colon. In flux-chamber experiments on segments of colon, both prostaglandins evoked a dose-dependent increase in short-circuit current that was reduced in chloridedepleted Krebs solution and by serosal addition of tetrodotoxin or atropine, but was unaffected by hexamethonium. These results indicate activation of chloride secretion via submucosal neurones. The response to PGF₂ was decreased by piroxicam. Application of PGF₂ or PGI₂ to submucosal neurones evoked depolarization of the membrane potential associated with an enhanced spike discharge. The depolarizing response was tetrodotoxin insensitive, indicating a direct effect of the prostaglandins on the impaled neurones. Membrane depolarization was frequently associated with the occurrence of fast excitatory postsynaptic potentials, suggesting in addition that part of the excitatory effect is mediated by the activation of neural circuits that drive the impaled neurone synaptically. The results of this study indicate that the secretory effects of prostaglandins are mediated in part by submucosal neurones and further suggest that the colonic submucosal plexus may function as an amplifier to enhance the epithelial response to inflammatory mediators.     

An external approach without tracheotomy for submucosal cordectomy with laterofixation for bilateral abductor paralysis of the vocal folds

There are numerous surgical procedures now available to manage bilateral abductor paralyses of the vocal folds. These procedures have various success rates but mostly do not offer reliable and predictable postoperative results, and usually require ,tracheotomy. The technique described in this report is based on a trial study to obtain a safe airway for an affected patient and avoid tracheotomy, if possible. Submucosal cordectomy was used with lateral fixation of one vocal fold and preservation of the arytenoid. The procedure was performed by using continuous intravenous anesthesia, which does not require intubation of the patient's airway. Seven patients were operated with this technique with excellent postoperative results. The glottal airway was largely improved in all patients, with only minor temporary complications.     

Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery for a large gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the stomach

We report two cases of large gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the stomach that were successfully treated by hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS). Two patients, a 56-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man, were admitted to our department for the treatment of a large submucosal tumor of the stomach. After gastrointestinal endoscopy, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, we suspected that the masses, measuring 7.0 cm and 8.0 cm in diameter, respectively, were GISTs in the stomach. However, preoperatively, we could not rule out the possibility of malignant neoplasms, because they had been bleeding or gradually growing. Hand-assisted laparoscopic wedge resection was safely performed for the diagnosis and treatment of the submucosal tumor of the stomach. The immunohistochemical diagnosis in both patients was GIST of the stomach with intermediate-grade malignancy. HALS may be a good indication for large GISTs of the stomach that are difficult to diagnose preoperatively, whether they are malignant or benign, because it is safe and minimally invasive, promoting rapid recovery.     

Subcutaneous tunneling technique to improve outcomes for patients undergoing chemotherapy with peripherally inserted central catheters: a randomized controlled trial

ObjectiveTo compare the value of the subcutaneous tunneling technique versus the normal technique in improving the outcomes of patients undergoing chemotherapy with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs).MethodsOne hundred thirty patients were randomly divided into an experimental group (subcutaneous tunneling technique) and control group (normal technique) according to the PICC placement technique, and clinical data were compared between the groups.ResultsIn total, 129 PICCs were successfully inserted. Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a lower occurrence of complications after placement (especially catheter dislodgement: 3.1% vs. 15.4%, venous thrombosis: 3.1% vs. 15.4%, and wound oozing: 14.1% vs. 27.7%), lower occurrence of unscheduled PICC removal (3.1% vs. 13.8%), greater comfort during placement (14.16 ± 2.21 vs. 15.09 ± 2.49 on a scale ranging from 6 to 30 points, with higher scores indicating lower degrees of comfort), and lower costs of PICC maintenance (median (interquartile range) per-day maintenance cost: 13.90 (10.99–32.83) vs. 15.69 (10.51–57.46) Yuan). The occurrence of complications and amount of bleeding during placement were not significantly different between the two groups.ConclusionsThe subcutaneous tunneling technique can improve PICC placement by reducing complications and costs of maintenance with better patient comfort during placement.     

Bronchogenic cyst of the stomach:A case report

BACKGROUND Gastric bronchogenic cysts(BCs)are extremely rare cystic masses caused by abnormal development of the respiratory system during the embryonic period.Gastric bronchial cysts are rare lesions first reported in 1956;as of 2019,only 37 cases are available in the MEDLINE/PubMed online databases.BCs usually have no clinical symptoms in the early stage,and their imaging findings also lack specificity.Therefore,they are difficult to diagnose before histopathological examination.CASE SUMMARY A 55-year-old woman presented at our hospital with intermittent epigastric pain.She had a slightly high level of serum carbohydrate antigen 72-4(CA 72-4).Endoscopic ultrasound found that a cystic mass originated from the submucosa of the posterior gastric wall near the cardia,indicating a diagnosis of cystic hygroma of the stomach.Furthermore,a computed tomography scan demonstrated a quasi-circular cystic mass closely related to the lesser curvature of the gastric fundus with a low density.Because the imaging examinations did not suggest a malignancy and the patient required complete resection,she underwent laparoscopic surgery.As an intraoperative finding,this cystic lesion was located in the posterior wall of the fundus and contained some yellow viscous liquid.Finally,the pathologists verified that the cyst in the fundus was a gastric BC.The patient recovered well with normal CA 72-4 levels,and her course was uneventful at 10 mo.CONCLUSION This is a valuable report as it describes an extremely rare case of gastric BC.Moreover,this is the first case of BC to present with elevated CA 72-4 levels.
