Objective To compare effects of warm water infusion and air insufflation on patient tolerance and satisfaction during the insertion phase of unsedated colonoscopy.Methods In a single-center,prospective,single blind randomized trial,patients were randomly assigned to three groups (water infusion group,air insufflation group,or hybrid method group) during the insertion phase of colonoscopy.Main outcome measurements included insertion time,cecal intubation rate,adenoma detection rate,the rate of position change,the rate of abdominal compression,intraoperative pain and distension VAS scores,postoperative pain and distension VAS scores.Results A total of 180 cases were enrolled,60 in each group.Patients in water infusion group and hybrid method group required less abdominal compression or position change,longer insertion time,reported lower intraoperative pain and distension VAS scores than air insufflation group during the insertion phase of colonoscopy.There were no significant differences in cecal intubation rates,adenoma detection rates,postoperative pain and distension or VAS scores among three groups.Conclusion Water infusion significantly decreases patient abdominal pain and distension during the insertion phase of colonoscopy without affecting cecal intubation rate and adenoma detection rate.

objective To retrospectively evaluate the accuracy of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)and CT in preoperative tumor,and nodal metastasis(TN)staging of esophageal carcinoma.Methods TN stages of 87 cases diagnosed with preoperative EUS and CT were compared with postoperative pathological results.No patient underwent radiotherapy or chemotheraphy.The radial echoendoscope was used,and balloon dilation was required in 5 cases with stricture.Results The total accuracy of T staging with EUS was 85.1%.CT could not differentiate Tl from T2.The sensitivity of EUS for N staging was 85.0%,higher than that of CT(60.8%).However,some lymph nodes which were not detected by EUS could be revealed by CT.Accuracy of EUS plus CT in T staging is 85.1%.and that in N staging is 90.8%.Conclusion EUS is the most accurate measure in assessing the depth of tumor invasion,whereas the combination of EUS and CT is capable of an overall evaluation for TNM staging.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of purging fu-organs traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)therapy for treatment of patients with severe pneumonia and sthenia-heat. Methods According to random number table method,71 patients with sthenia-heat of severe pneumonia were divided into a treatment group (35 cases)and a control group(36 cases). Conventional basic treatment was given to both groups,and additionally, small chengqi decoction was applied nasogastrically for the therapy in treatment group for 2 weeks. The clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS),Marshall score,integration score of TCM syndromes and the mortalities in 28 days and 60 days were used to compare the clinical efficacy of the two groups. Results With the prolongation of treatment,the CPIS,Marshall score and integration score of syndromes in the two groups were gradually decreased. In treatment group,CPIS and Marshall scores were lower than those of control group on the 4th day ,and there were statistically significant differences(CPIS score:5.8±1.7 vs. 6.8±1.9,Marshall score:5.3±2.3 vs. 6.6±2.7,both P<0.05);the above 2 scores in treatment group were also lower than those of control group on the 7th and 14th day after treatment(7th day CPIS score:5.3±1.5 vs. 5.6±1.4,Marshall score:5.1±1.9 vs. 5.7±1.8;14th day CPIS score:3.9±1.7 vs. 4.4±2.3,Marshall score:4.2±1.9 vs. 4.9±2.5),but there were no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05). In addition,the integration scores of syndromes were significantly decreased on the 4th, 7th and 14th day in the treatment group significantly lower than those in the control group(4th day:7.6±2.3 vs. 10.6±2.7,7th day:7.4±2.5 vs. 9.2±2.1,14th day:6.1±1.9 vs. 8.3±2.4,all P<0.05). However,there were no statistically significant differences in mortality rates in 28 days and 60 days respectively between control group and treatment group(28 days:16.7% vs. 11.4%,60 days:25.0% vs. 20.3%,both P>0.05). Conclusion Purging fu-organs therapy not only can decrease the CPIS and Marshall scores of patients with sthenia-heat of severe pneumonia,but also can improve their syndromes.

Objective:To improve the understanding of indolent mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).Methods:The data of a patient with indolent leukemic MCL in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in May 2013 were collected. The cell morphology was analyzed by using cell smear, the flow cytometry was used to make immunophenotype analysis, the karyotype analysis was performed by usig cytogenetic technique, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to make the immunoglobulin gene analysis. At the same time, lymph node pathology and immunohistochemistry were also analyzed. The related articles published were reviewed to sum up the characteristics and the treatment of indolent MCL.Results:The male patient aged 60 years was obviously asymptomatic accompanied with slow disease progression, leukemic manifestation and without lymphadenopathy. He received pathological biopsy because of located lymphadenopathy in 2008. Small cell morphology, Kappa light chain immunophenotype, t(11;14) translocation showed after the cytogenetic examination, clonal immune globulin gene rearrangement and low Ki-67 positive index were identified. In situ MCL was diagnosed by retrospective pathology.Conclusions:Indolent MCL is extremely rare. It is typically asymptomatic with none or minimal nodal involvement, indolent disease course, leukemic phase with mild lymphocytosis, Kappa light chain expression, simple karyotype, classical or small cell morphology of tumor cells and the positive index of Ki-67 <10%. In situ MCL can be seen in pathology examination. IgVH gene mutation positive and SOX11 negative expression are notable in indolent MCL. International prognostic index of MCL is probably not appropriate in the prognostic analysis of leukemic indolent MCL. It is emphasized that initial observation and having therapies only after the disease progression can be suited for indolent MCL.
