Objective To analyze the clinical value of ultrasound-guided percutaneous Lauromacrogol Injection sclerotherapy in the treatment of simple renal cyst. Methods A total of eighty patients with simple renal cyst, who were divided into 40 groups according to the random number table, were divided into two groups from February 2016 to April 2017. The traditional group used traditional open renal cyst unroofing decompression. Ultrasound guided ultrasound guided percutaneous Lauromacrogol Injection sclerotherapy was performed in the ultrasound guided group. The therapeutic effect, operation time and the rate of successful puncture were compared between two groups of simple renal cysts. It needs to compare the volume of the cyst and the quality of life before and after the intervention. Results Ultrasound guided group simple renal cyst treatment effect was higher than the traditional group (P<0.05). The operation time of the ultrasound guided group was shorter than that of the traditional group, and the success rate of the one shot puncture was higher than that of the traditional group(P<0.05). Before the intervention, the volume and quality of life of the two groups were similar. In the ultrasound guided group, the volume and quality of life in the ultrasound guided group were better than those in the traditional group(P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound guided percutaneous Lauromacrogol Injection sclerotherapy is of high clinical value in the treatment of simple renal cysts. The utility model can improve the success rate of one puncture, shorten the operation time, and the exact effect can speed up the regression of symptoms and reduce the volume of the cyst. Therefore, this method can improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of needle sizes and aspiration techniques on sample quantity. Methods Aspiration was performed on porcine liver in vitro for 10 times with three different sizes of needles(19 G, 22 G and 25 G) and four different aspiration techniques[non?negative pressure(NP), 10 ml NP,20 ml NP and slow?pull], 20 mm in depth. A total of six aspirations were performed with each needle by the same aspiration technique. All the obtained specimens were fixed in formalin with the cell block method. The samples were evacuated according to our grading criteria. Results The mean±standard deviation(SD) score for 19 G,22 G, 25 G were 5?71±0?69,4?63±1?24, 3?79±1?84 respectively. The mean±SD score for methods non?NP,10 ml NP,20 ml NP and slow?pull were 4?72±1?53,4?56±1?46,4?72±1?50,4?83±1?76 respectively. The multi?analysis of variance results showed that there were statistical differences between different needles size( F=12?00,P<0?001) with 19 G being the best,followed by 22 G and the least specimen obtained by 25 G needle. There were no statistical differences among aspiration techniques ( F=0?128, P=0?943).The analysis showed that the thicker the needle was,the better sample quality was 19 G yielded to the highest quantity of specimens. The most specimens could be obtained with 19 G needle and non?NP, 22 G needle and 20 ml NP and 25 G needle and slow?pull. Conclusion In clinic, aspiration technique should be selected according to different aspiration needles. 19 G is superior to others, with non?NP method. For 22 G needle, 20 ml NP is preferred and for 25 G needle,slow?pull is preferred.
