Objective To investigate the clinical value of emergent perspective stent implantation for leftside obstructive colonic cancer.Methods The clinical data of 26 patients with obstructive colonic cancer who received emergent perspective stent implantation at the Affiliated Xuzhou Hospital of Southeast University from October 2011 to February 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.A soft and a hard guidewire and a catheter were applied in the operation.The guidewires were put through the hole of the intestinal tumor,and then the metal stent and the conveyor were guided by the guidewires and were pulled through the hole of the intestinal tumor,finally the stent was released and the conveyor was adjusted to ensure that the stent was at the right position.Patients were followed-up through outpatient examination till 4 weeks after tumor resection.Results Of the 26 patients,9 were with rectal cancer,10 with sigmoid colonic cancer,6 with descending colonic cancer,1 with splenic flexure cancer.The median length of stenosis was 4.6 cm (range,2.0-8.0 cm).The surgery of the 26 patients was successful.The mean operation time was 35.2 minutes (range,15.2-72.0 minutes),and the mean time of stent implantation was 5.6 minutes (range,2.6-26.9 minutes).Patients had watery or loose stool for 4-8 times after stent implantation.Ten hours after the operation,all the patients were given liquid diet.The remission rate of clinical symptoms was 100.0% (26/26).No colonic perforation was detected during the operation.Two patients were complicated with slight bleeding,and was alleviated by medication.Twenty-six patients received stage Ⅰ tumor resection procedure within 7-10 days after the symptoms of intestinal obstruction were remised.The success rate of surgery was 100.0% (26/26).No infection and other drainage were detected after tumor resection through follow-up.Conclusion Emergent perspective stent implantation for left-side obstructive colonic cancer is safe and effective.

Objective To discuss the clinical application of coronary CT angiography(CCTA)-derived fractional flow reserve(CT-FFR)in evaluating the risk stratification of the coronary artery stenosis and atherosclerotic plaque quantitative parameters.Methods A total of 122 patients,who received CCTA examination at the Xuzhou Municipal Central Hospital of China,were enrolled in this study.The patients were divided into non-ischemia group(CT-FFR>0.8,n=66)and ischemia group(CT-FFR0.8,n=56).The characteristics of atherosclerotic plaque were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between plaque characteristics and ischemic lesions.Results There were 218 vessels having a CT-FFR>0.8 and 174 vessels having a CT-FFR ≤0.8.Statistically significant differences in the total plaque volume,calcified plaque volume,plaque length,and stenosis ratio>50%existed between the two groups(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that the total plaque volume,calcified plaque volume,plaque length,and stenosis ratio>50%were the risk factors for myocardial ischemia.Conclusion CT-FFR can be used for the risk stratification of coronary stenosis and atherosclerotic plaque characteristics,which can evaluate the local myocardial blood supply condition from the anatomical stenosis and functional level so as to optimize the diagnosis and treatment measures.
