ObjectiveTo evaluate clinical significance of serum free light chains (sFLC) in diagnosis and response to the therapies of patients with multiple myeloma (MM).MethodssFLC (κ,λ and κ / λ ratio)were examed by immumoassay from 62 patients with MM at different stage. The results were analyzed associated with clinical data,and 35 cases of chronic renal failure(CRF)patients and 62 cases of healthy donors were taken as controls.ResultsMedium sFLC of normal κ value was (13.25±6.46) mg/L,λ value was (18.39±11.42) mg/L; and κ / λ ratio was (0.97±0.64) mg/L (range 0.33-1.61).sFLC κ and λ of CRF patients were (200.01±299.87) mg/L,(191.02±245.98) mg/L,significantly higher than that of the normal control group (t =-17.804,-16.894,both P < 0.001),but the κ/λ ratio was at normal range (1.11±0.29).κ value range was at 16.20- 35 250 mg/L in newly diagnosed intact immunoglobulin MM patients with IgGκ,IgAκ and IgDκ type.The range of λ values was 15.70-4885 mg/L in IgGλ,IgAλ,IgDλ type,and κ/λ ratio was abnormal in 96.5 % (55/57) patients (<0.5 or >1.5).The κ,λ value and κ/λ ratio were close to that of the normal after remmision.ConclusionsFLC ( κ,λ,and κ / λ ratio) are very good monitoring markers for MM.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic implantation of self-expandable metallic stent (SEMs) for malignant colorectal obstruction. Methods A total of 108 patients who had undergone endoscopic SEMs implantation for malignant colonic obstruction from January 2011 to May 2014 were enrolled. The clinical suc-cess rates and the complications were reviewed. Results The clinical success rates were 92.59%(100/108). Abdomi-nal pain, perforation and bleeding were the most common post-procedure complications, the rates of which were 16.67% (18/108), 7.41% (8/108), 6.48% (7/108), respectively. The abdominal pain in most patients was self-reliev-ing except for 6 patients with perforation of colon. Patients with perforation were cured by emergency surgery. The 7 patients developing bleeding recovered themselves. Conclusion The success rate of endoscopic SEMs implantation is satisfactory in the study. As a bridge to surgery or a palliative care method, endoscopic SEMs implantation is effec-tive and safe for malignant colorectal obstruction.

Objective: To study the features of spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (SISMAD) by unexpected detection of renal artery dual-source CT (DSCT) imaging in hypertension patients. Methods: A total of 4107 patients with suspected secondary hypertension received renal artery DSCT examination in our hospital from 2010-03 to 2015-04 were studied and SISMAD was unexpectedly found in 12 patients. There were 3 patients with mild abdominal pain and the rest without obvious abdominal symptoms. The position and length, true and false lumens, detached tunica intimal flap and branch involvement of dissection, intestinal wall edema and ileus were recorded. Results: SISMAD in all 12 (0.3%) patients were found unexpectedly. Axial CT with post-processing technique clearly displayed the ruptured tunica intimal orifice, true and false lumens, detached intimal flap; the branches were all originated from true lumen. According to Sakamoto classification, all 12 patients were belong to Type I as the true and false lumens were with an entry and re-entry respectively, no filling defect in false lumen. The distance from orifice of dissection to root of abdominal aorta was (26.7 ± 11.3) mm and the length of dissection was (35.1 ± 11.7) mm.There were 10 patients with aneurysmal expansion with the diameter of (11.9 ± 2.5) mm. Conclusion: Unexpected detection of SISMAD by renal artery CT imaging was about 0.3%, radiologist should pay special attention to find superior mesenteric artery dissection in hypertension patients.

Objective To study the feasibility of model building methods by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages between the two different methods to build off-pump coronary artery bypass graft animal model. Methods Twenty dogs were randomly divided into two groups:brachiocephalic artery group and descending aorta group. Small-caliber heterogeneous vascular vessels were used as bridge vessels. The incision was in the fourth intercostal space of the left chest. Vascular anastomosis was firstly done between the brachiocephalic artery and bridge vessels,or between descending aorta and bridge vessels,prior to coronary vascular and bridge vessels anastomosis. Results The dogs of two groups were not dead during operation. Brachiocephalic artery group and the descending aorta group:aortic vascular anastomosis times were (33.9 ±4.8) min and (29.6 ±3.5) min respectively (P<0.05),coronary vascular anastomosis time were (28.5 ±3.0) min and (28. 1 ± 2. 3) min respectively (P>0. 05). The surgical blood losses of the two groups were (77. 5 ± 16. 2) mL and (66. 5 ± 12. 3) mL re-spectively (P>0. 05). After side clamping descending aorta,femoral blood pressure significantly decreased in descending aorta group,and the two dogs had melena after operation. Conclusion Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft models were both constructed successfully by the two ways. Descending aorta group of femoral artery blood pressure violently fluctuated and had abdominal organs’ ischemia reperfusion in-jury. Though brachiocephalic artery group anastomosis group spent a little longer time,they had stable artery blood pressure during operation. As a result,the way of constructing animal model of brachiocephalic artery group is safer.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and complications of transoral endoscopic peroral endo﹣scopic myotomy (POEM) for achalasia (AC). Methods 38 patients with AC received POEM treatment from January 2013 to January 2013 in our digestive endoscopy center. Procedure-related complications and gastroesophageal re﹣flux were observed, and ECKARDT score and the lower esophageal sphincter pressure changes were analysed. Results All patients underwent POEM successfully. No serious POEM-related complications were observed, bleed﹣ing, gas related complications were treated successfully by conservative treatment. Postoperative follow-up time was 10.4 months (range 9 to 12 months), the symptoms of all the patients were alleviated, ECKARDT score average from preoperative 8.7 points dropped to postoperative 1.2 points (P<0.01), esophageal sphincter pressure decreased sig﹣nificantly, mean pressure dropped from preoperative (33.40 ± 11.80) mmHg to postoperative (13.50 ± 4.30) mmHg (P< 0.01) and gas related complications occurred in 6 cases (15.78 %), esophageal reflux occurred rate total was 23.68%(9/38). Conclusion POEM is safe and effective for the treatment of AC, and has better long-term effect.
