Objective To evaluate the value of endoscopy in etiological diagnosis and treatment of post - cholecystectomy syndrome. Methods Three hundred and twenty - six patients with post -cholecystectomy syndrome received ERCP. To reveral the etiology of post - cholecystectomy syndrome. For those with choledocholithiasis and those with papillary inflammatory stricture EST or EPBD were given those with papillary diverticulum and SOD EPBD were given, those with papillary tumor and hepatobiliary carcinoma EMBE were given and for those with bililary stricture in middle part of bile duct, purulent cholangitis, chloedocholithiasis(stones not excluded in one time)and bile leakage ENBD were used. Results ERCP was succeeded in 315 cases(96. 6%), 24 cases had no abnormal endoscopic findings view. 191 cases of choledocholithiasis 186 were totally get rid of stone after one to three times of opretion EST or EPBD was successfully given to 39 cases of 39 had papillary inflammatory stricture. Nine had papillary diverticulum which oppressed the papillary orifice, 7 had SOD, all of them were dealt with EPBD. Sixteen had stricture in the middle portion of bile duct, 11 of which were treated with ENBD. In 6 cases of papillary tumor and 5 hepatobiliary carcinoma patients jaundice improved significantly after received EMBE. Residual stones in cholecystic duct were seen in 4 cases. In 2 cases of bile leakage after cholecystectomy, ENBD was successfully carried out to avoid another operation. Complications were noted in 15 cases(4. 8%) of them. pancreatitis 11 cases, cholangitis 3 eases and hemorrhage of upper gastrointestinal tract one ease. Conclusion ERCP can find out the defenite cause of post - cholecystectomy syndrome at early stage and take corresponding endoscopic therapeutic measures. The complications of ERCP can be avoided by skillful operator.

Objective To improve the successful rate of endoscopic biliary drainage. Methods The experience of biliary drainage with duodenoscope for biliary obstruction from January 1998 to September 2001 was reviewed retrospectively. Endoscopic naso -biliary drainage (ENBD) , endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) and endoscopic metal biliary endoprothesis (EMBE) were performed in 242 cases, 43 cases and 35 cases respectively. Results Of 320 cases with biliary obstruction, 305 received successful drainage under endoscopy and 15 cases failed. Ten cases with ENBD failed but got successful drainage after modulating the site of naso-biliary tube or reinserting another tube. For 3 cases failed with ERBD, we chose plastic stents with appropriate length for 2 cases to achieve fluent drainage and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) was managed for another case after endoscopic management failed. For 2 cases with EMBE failed, one stent couldn' t exceed the tumor stricture site and one was obstructed by tumor implantion at one month after EMBE. Either a metal stent or a plastic stent was replaced through previous prothesis in these two failed cases. Conclusions The effect of endoscopic biliary drainage for biliary obstruction is definite. Mostly the drainage failure can be avoided as early as possible by analyzing the causes and taking some corresponding measures to correct it.

Objective To investigate the clinical, imaging and pathological findings of the primary (CNS) lymphoma in patients without AIDS. Methods The clinical, laboratory, neuroradiological and pathological data of such 15 cases were analysed. Results The clinical features of the primary malignant lymphoma of CNS are variable,however,more than half of patients were presented with an increased intracranial pressure and a neurologic dysfunction, such as weakness of limbs,speech changes and seizures. These symptoms were always misdiagnosed as some other tumors.Examination of CSF revealed a mild or intermediate increase of protein in all patients by way of lumbar punctures. Imaging examinations by CT and MRI both showed solitary or multiple masses of tumor located more likely in the frontal and temporal lobes. Only 20% patients mimiced the demyelineting disease and were misdiagnosed as multiply sclerosis. Conclusions Patients with such CNS lymphoma usually do not present the characteristically clinical manifestations or findings in the imaging scanning. Brain biopsy may be a method more reliable to confirm this disease and be important for improving the prognosis of patients.

Objective To compare cerebralspinal fluid acetylcholine (ACh) and choline (Ch) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VD), and their correlation with cognitive impairment.Methods First, dementia scales of 22 ADs, 22 VDs and 20 controls were scored using MMSE. Then the concentrations of CSF ACh and Ch in AD and VD were examined using the high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detector (HPLC-ECD). Finally, the scores of MMSE and concentrations of ACh and Ch were compared. Results The ACh concentrations in AD[(10.7?5.1)nmol/L] and VD [(16.8?7.4)nmol/L] were found to be significantly lower than in controls [(34.5?9.0)nmol/L]( P =0.001), and showed a significant positive correlation with MMSE scores. The Ch concentration in AD CSF [(627.6?145.1)nmol/L] was approximately the same as in controls [(716.0?159.4)nmol/L], and showed no correlation with MMSE scores. The Ch concentration in VD CSF [(887.4?187.4)nmol/L] was significantly higher than in AD ( P =0.001) and controls ( P =0.002).Conclusion (1)The depression of ACh is correlated with cognitive impairment, suggesting ACh is an important neurotransmitters for memory. (2) VD may have a similar pathogenesis as AD. (3) The depression of AD ACh concentration and elevation of VD Ch concentration in CSF may be a role in their differentiation. (4) The application of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors is suitable for AD and VD.
