1.THRAPEUTIC ERCP FOR CHOLANGIO-PANCREATIC DISEASES: REPORT OF 32 CASES
China Journal of Endoscopy 2001;7(1):53-54
Objective:In order to obtain more effective endoscopic treatment,we analysed 32 cases data of therapeutic ERCP.Methods:Of which 23 were males,9 females with a median age of 56 years.Therapeutic effort was executed in all cases including biliary drainage (n=16),endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) (n=15,10 of them received extraction)and extract ascaris(n=1).The discussion focus on the treatment of biliary disease.Results:All common bile-duct stone were cleared up.Satisfactory treatment was achieved in almost all with no severe side effect.Conclusions:Therapeutic ERCP is an effective method for cholangiopancreatic diseases.It is of considerable value and should be promoted in clinical application.

Objective The present study was to investigate the feasibility of use of high resolution magnetic reso?nance vessel wall imaging(HR-VWI)in evaluation of intracranial aneurysms. Methods We prospectively collected data from patients who had intracranial aneurysms and received HR-VWI scan before surgical treatment or conservative treatment. Aneurysms were divided into ruptured group (n=12) and unruptured group (n=88). Aneurysm site, size, neck, aspect ratio(AR), daughter sac and aneurysmal wall enhancement scale were analyzed in both groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were performed to evaluate the risk factors of aneurysm rupture. Subgroup analysis was also performed to study symptomatic and asymptomatic unruptured aneurysms. Results Aneurysm size(t=2.187,P=0.031),AR(t=3.164,P=0.002),incidence of daughter sac(P=0.012) and aneurysmal wall enhancement scale(P<0.001)were higher in ruptured aneurysm group. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that aneurysmal wall enhance?ment scale was the only independent risk factor of ruptured aneurysms(P=0.002). Subgroup analysis showed aneurysm wall enhancement scale(P<0.001) and AR(t=3.939,P<0.001) were higher in symptomatic unruptured aneurysms. Conclusion Aneurysm wall enhancement on HR-VWI is more frequently seen in ruptured aneurysms and symptomatic unruptured aneurysms. Histological study is needed for better understanding of the mechanism of aneurysm wall enhance?ment.
