Objective To research the effect of alimentary tract reconstruction after gastrectomy on the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus(non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM). Methods From January 2005 to January 2008, perioperative blood glucose level and insulin therapy in 24 gastric cancer or periampullary carcinoma patients with non-obesity type 2 diabetes were retrospectively analyzed. These patients underwent different alimentary tract reconstruction, including 8 patients for Billroth I, 10 for standard Whipples operation, 6 for esophageal Roux-en-Y jejunostomy after total gastrectomy. Glucose level and insulin dosage of thease patients were compared. Results In the patients underwent Billroth I operation, change of blood glucose level before and after operation was not significant(P>0.05). The level of blood glucose in patients underwent Whipples operation and total gastrectomy were significant changed 1 and 2 months after the operation (P<0.001). In Billroth I group, 5 patients used insulin to control hyperglycemia preoperatively. After the operation, 2 patents maintained preoperative insulin dosage, 2 had to increase the use of insulin and 1 decreased the insulin dosage. In Whipples group, 6 patients used insulin preoperatively. Interestingly, 4 patents needed less insulin to control hyperglycemia and 2 were free of insulin dependance. In total gastrectomy group, there were 4 patients using insulin to control hyperglycemia. After the operation, 2 patents needed less insulin dosage and 2 stopped using insulin. Conclusions Both Whipples operation and total gastrectomy lead to decreased blood glucose level in NIDDM patients and less need of insulin.The effect of some types of alimentary tract reconstruction after gastrectomy on treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is assertive.

Objective To investigate the value of CT in the diagnosis of dedifferentiated liposarcoma.Methods Fifteen surgical operations of dedifferentiated liposarcoma in 11 patients, confirmed by pathology, underwent plain (n=15) and contrast enhanced (n=12) CT scans. Two of the 12 lesions underwent dynamic multi-phase contrast scans. The CT features and the corresponding pathological basis were analyzed.Results The lesions were divided into 3 groups according to the fatty component and its distribution. The CT appearances were as follows: (1)a well delineated fatty component in the lesion and a closely apposed non-fatty region in 10 cases including 5 initial (5/5, 100%) and 5 recurrent (5/10, 50%), which depicted an abrupt transition from the well-differentiated area to the high-grade sarcoma component under microscope; (2)fatty component within the lesion was less than 10% in 3 recurrent (3/10, 30%); (3)fatty masses and non-fatty masses separately distributed in 2 recurrent cases (2/10, 20%). Contrast enhanced CT scan showed moderate to marked inhomogeneous enhancement in the early phase in all 12 lesions, and delay enhancement was also observed.Conclusion Dedifferentiated liposarcoma exhibited specific appearances as well delineated fatty component and closely apposed non-fatty region with apparent enhancement. Dynamic contrast CT scans play important roles in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and help pre-surgical grading and pathological sampling.

AIM To study the effects of DIDS and furosemide on the contraction induced by phenylephrine and the endothelium-dependent relexation induced by ATP. METHODS Measurement of isometric force of rat thoracic aortae rings with and without endothelium. RESULTS DIDS(1~300 ?mol?L -1 ) and furosemide(10~320 ?mol?L -1 ) inhibited the contractile response induced by phenylephrine in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory rate was different between aortic ring endothelium-intact and that endothelium-denuded. The values of IC_ 50 for DIDS were (12.0?8.0) ?mol?L -1 and (28.3?7.3) ?mol?L -1 respectively,while the values of IC_ 50 for furosemide were (17.9?6.6) ?mol?L -1 and (41.0?15.6) ?mol?L -1 respectively. DIDS(10 ?mol?L -1 ) did not chang ATP-induced vasodilative effect at the concentrations of 10 ?mol?L -1 and 100 ?mol?L -1 , but enhanced the relaxation induced by 1 mmol?L -1 ATP. Furosemide (20 ?mol?L -1 ) had no effect on the relaxation induced by ATP(10 ?mol?L -1 ), but prolonged the relaxation when the concentration of ATP added to 100 ?mol?L -1 and 1 mmol?L -1 ( P

Objective:To investigate the alteration of retinal perfusion in aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-ab) positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) patients by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).Methods:A case-control study. Forty-eight AQP4-ab positive NMOSD patients (96 eyes) and 20 age and gender matched healthy controls (40 eyes) were recruited from September 2015 to August 2017 at the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University. Patients of both eyes were included in the groups. The patients were further divided into 4 subgroups (0 ON, 1 ON, 2 ON, 3+ ON group) according to the number of episodes of ON (0, 1, 2, or 3+) with respect to 30、22、31、13 eyes. 0 ON group had no history of ON episodes; 1 ON group, 2 ON group, and 3+ ON group had ON episodes 1, 2, ≥3 times, respectively. All patients underwent complete ophthalmological examinations including BCVA, visual field and OCTA examination. The BCVA was recorded for each eye using metric notation from the Snellen chart, and then converted to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution. The central visual field was assessed using a Humphrey Field Analyzer 750 and the mean deviation (MD) was determined. OCTA scans of the optic disc (4.5 mm × 4.5 mm) and macula (6 mm × 6 mm) were acquired. Radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) vessel density, superficial capillary plexus vessel density (SVD), the thickness of ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) were determined. The generalized estimating equations was performed to compare the difference of BCVA, MD, pRNFL thickness, GCIPL thickness, RPC vessel density and SVD among the groups and the correlations between retinal perfusion and retinal structure, visual function were analyzed.Results:The RPC vessel density and SVD were significant lower in the 0 ON group compared with healthy group (Wald χ2=7.190, 10.134; P<0.01), however, the BCVA, pRNFL and GCIPL thickness were not significant difference between the two groups (Wald χ2=2.308, 1.020, 2.558; P>0.05). The BCVA, visual field MD, RPC vessel density, SVD, pRNFL and GCIPL were significant lower in 1 ON, 2 ON and 3+ ON groups compared with healthy group and 0 ON group (Wald χ2=12.390, 11.346, 38.860, 18.040, 45.418, 26.608; P<0.001 ), but the parameters had no significant difference among the three groups ( P>0.05). The RPC vessel density was significantly correlated with pRNFL thickness ( β=0.372, standard error=0.018, P<0.001), and the SVD was significantly correlated with GCIPL thickness ( β=0.115, standard error=0.204, P<0.001). The MD and BCVA was significantly correlated with peripapillary vessel density after adjustment for other variables (BCVA: β=0.025, standard error=0.005, P=0.000; visual field MD: β=0.737, standard error=0.185, P=0.000). Conclusions:Subclinical primary retinal vasculopathy may occur in NMOSD prior to ON attack, the ON attack may further impair visual function, retinal structure and perfusion, however, the extent of injure is not relevant with the increase of ON attack. The peripapillary vessel density might be a sensitive predictor of visual outcomes in NMOSD patients.
