Objective To evaluate the effects of preventing and treating delayed gastric emptying (DGE)in the patients with pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenostomy(PPPD).Methods The clinical data about PPPD from 1992～2000 were analyzed retrospectively.Results The incidence rate of DGE was 50%,among which gastrostomy was performed in 2/2 cases and not performed in four tenths.Comparing gastric decompression through noses with gastrostomy,the function of gastric wriggle recovered ahead of seven to fifteen days in the former group.Conclusion The incidence rate of DGE in the patients with PPPD is very high.Preventive jejunostomy should routinely be taken and the application of the thin silicon rubber tube through nose is very effective to gastric decompression,combining the traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine.

Objective To summarize the diagnosis and therapy of traumatic rupture of bladder.Methods Between January 1987 and December 2000,the diagnosis,therapy and effect was retrospectively analyzed on 47 patients with traumatic rupture of bladder.45 cases were finally diagnosed with bladder perfusion,2 were found in urethra reunion operation because of urethra disruption.47 cases were surgically treated with open repair,35 cases with bladder fistulization and 12 only with bladder catheterization.Result 2 of 47 cases died because of shock and serious combined injury.45 were have healed,and urination recovered after surgery.Conclusions Intravesical perfusion with water of bladder and abdominal puncture are simple and reliable method to diagnose rupture of bladder.Repairing of bladder is a important measure to therapy rupture of bladder.

Objective To assess the value of MR susceptibility weighted imaging(SWI) in the diagnosis of cerebral developmental venous anomaly(DVA). Methods Twenty-four patients with DVA were examined with 3.0T MR scanner, the sequences included spin echo T_1 WI, the turbo spin echo T_2 WI and SWI. The MR imaging features of DVA on SWI and conventional MR imaging were compared. Results Of the 24 cases with DVA, the lesions located in the white matter of frontal lobe(11 lesions), white mater of pa-rietal lobes (6 lesions), temporal lobes (2 lesions) and cerebellar hemispheres (5 lesions) respectively. Only 11 lesions were detected by pre-contrast MRI, which demonstrated as linear flow void in 4 cases and as radiated high signal intensity on T_2 WI in 7 cases. On contrast-enhanced MR imaging, all the lesions showed typical "caput medusae"-like enhancement. On SWI, all the lesions showed typical "caput medusae"-like low signal intensity. Conclusion SWI is sensitive to small venous anomaly and it can be a substitutive modality for contrast-enhanced MR imaging in the diagnosis and follow-up of DVA.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic effect,adversere reactions and cost-effectiveness between granisetron and ondansetron in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy.METHODS:Using pharmacoeconomic co_st-effectiveness analysis,the relevant therapeutic indices were evaluated.RESULTS:The effective rates of granisetron in preventing nausea and vomiting were 83.6% and 86.8% with an average cost of 210.48 yuans in a therapeutic couse,the cost-ef_fective ratio being 251.77 and 242.37,and those of ondansetron were 72.9% and 83.7% with an average cost of 381.35 yuans,the cost-effective ratio being 523.11 and 456.62.CONCLUSION:Granisetron can effectively prevent nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy,and its cost-effective ratio is superior to that of ondansetron.

OBJECTIVETo compare the differences in the clinical efficacy on insomnia between shujing massage therapy and medication with estazolam.

METHODSEighty patients of insomnia were randomized into a shujing mass age therapy group (40 cases) and a medication group (40 cases). In the shujing massage therapy group, the spreading massage manipulation was applied along the running course of the gallbladder meridian of foot-shaoyang on the temporal area. The pressing and kneading manipulation was done at Yangbai (GB 14), Benshen (GB 13), Toulinqi (GB 15), Zhengying (GB 17), Chengling (GB 18), Shuaigu (GB 8), and Fengchi (GB 20), etc, 1 min at each acupoint. In the medication group, 1 mg estazolam was taken orally half an hour before sleep. The treatment was given once every day in the two groups. After the continuous treatment for 1 month, every dimensional score and the total score in the Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale (PSQI) and the clinical efficacy were evaluated between the two groups.

RESULTSAfter the intervention, the each item score of PSQI was improved as compared with that before treatment in the patients of the two groups (all P<0. 05). The differences in sleep time and the time for falling into sleep were not significant between the two groups (both P>0. 05). In the shujing massage therapy group, the scores of sleep quality, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance and daytime dysfunction, as well as the total score were all lower than those in the medication group (all P<0. 05). The total effective rate was 92. 1% (35/38) in the shujing massage group and was 84. 2% (32/38) in the medication group, indicating the significant difference (P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONShujing massage therapy achieves the superior efficacy on insomnia compared with the oral administration of estazolam.

Objective To conclude the diagnostic methodology of unroofed coronary sinus (UCS) by two-dimensional echocardiography(2DE). Methods By analyzing the echocardiographic results of 16 UCS patients who were diagnosed by 2DE and confirmed by operation, the diagnostic methodology of UCS by 2DE was summarized. Results Sixteen patients with UCS were involved in this study. Among them, 12 cases were diagnosed as complete UCS,others were partial UCS(PUCS). Twelve patients were complicated with persistence of left superior vena cava (LSVC) that was connected to left atrium (LA) through UCS. All of preoperative diagnosis conducted by 2DE were finally confirmed to be consistent with the results of operation. With the analysis of acquired echo images,key points of diagnosis were concluded as follow: 1) normal coronary sinus (CS) could not be detected in the routine 2DE views referring CS. PUCS showed partial absence of CS roof,while complete UCS displayed as total absence of CS. 2)Inter-atrial shunt would definitely be found in UCS and the opening to right atrium must be coronary sinus orifice. The shunt direction was depended on the combined cardiac malformations. 3) With the occurrence of UCS,LSVC would be in junction with LA through UCS. 4) The inter-atrial shunt resulted in cardiac morphologic and hemodynamic changes. Conclusions Better understanding of the anatomic, morphological and hemodynamic characteristics of UCS would greatly contribute to accurate diagnosis on UCS.

Objective To explore the effects of MIF stimulation on collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ synthesis in the cultured blood vessel SMC ofrats. Method The content of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ protein in primary culture of SMC was measured with Western-blot. Results MIF couldpromote the increasing of the collagen Ⅰ protein expression in the SMC. But there were no improvement on collagen Ⅲ. Conclusions MIFcould stimulate SMC to synthesize the collagen Ⅰ.
