Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological prognostic factors in patients with carcinoma of ampulla of Vater treated by pancreatoduodenectomy.Methods The clinical and pathological factors of patients with carcinoma of ampulla of Vater who were operated from February 1994 to February 2009 at the Urumqi General Hospital of Lanzhou Military Region were retrospectively analyzed.The survival curves of these patients were also analyzed.Results The post-operative 1-,3-,5-year survival rates were 90％,63％,55％ respectively.The diameter of the majority of tumor (58.3％) was less than 2.0 cm.Of all the patients with carcinoma of ampulla of Vater,48.7％ were in T1 stage,41.7％ had high grade differentiation,73.0％ had no lymphatic metastasis.Univariate analysis showed that gender,age,tumor diameter,biopsy or not,the type of operation,the value of pre-operative serum bilirubin and the value of serum CA19-9 were not related to survival.The gross type of tumor (P =0.018),histological type (P =0.000),grade of differentiation (P =0.003),depth of infiltration (P =0.003),lymphatic metastasis (P =0.014) and TNM stage (P =0.031) were significant impact factors of survival.Multivariate analysis showed histological type and depth of infiltration were independent prognostic factors of surviva1 (P =0.002,P =0.005).Conclusion Grossly ulcerated carcinoma,mucinous adenocarcinoma on histology,low degree of differentiation,T2/T3 stage,lymphatic metastasis and clinical stage of Ⅱb were all significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with carcinoma of ampulla of Vater treated by pancreatoduodenectomy.Histological type and the depth of infiltration were the most important risk factors of survival.

AIM: To report a case of late onset diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) after laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) in 11 months due to corneal trauma. ·METHODS: A 22-year-old female patient underwent uneventful bilateral LASIK using a laserSight SLX excimer laser and Moria II microkeratome. No complications were observed during the operation and the early postoperative period.·RESULTS: 11 months after LASIK, grade I DLK was diagnosed after the book paper hurt the right corneal epithelium. The DLK responded rapidly to topical corticosteroid therapy, and healed in 2 weeks without complication. ·CONCLUSION: Although DLK Wpically develops in the early postoperative period, it could occur months after surgery. Treatment should begin as soon as DLK is diagnosed.

ObjectiveUsing large sample clinical study to reevaluate the safety and efficacy of recombinant human growth hormone(ANSOMONE) in treating pediatric growth hormone deficiency(GHD).Methods1012 cases were administered with ANSOMONE at a dose of 0.1 IU · kg-1 · d -1 in bedtime for 6 months.The alteration of mean height,growth rate,height standard deviation scores,bone age,and anti-GH antibody and occurrence of adverse effects were observed.ResultsThe growth rate was promoted from ( 2.50 ± 0.85 ) cm/year to ( 13.44 ± 4.27 ) cm/year,the net growth rate was( 10.94 ±3.69)cm/year.There was significant difference between the pre-treatment and post-treatment patients ( P ＜ 0.01 ).The post-treatment anti-GH antibody positive rate was 13.34％,which had no obvious effect on the efficacy.Few patients exert transient inflammation reactions,which disappeared with any treatment.ConclusionANSOMONE had significant efficacy,and could promote the height increase obviously.It had good safety without any obvious side effect and early-maturing effect.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of the fistulography of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT)in the diagnosis of anal fistula.Methods A total of 28 patients who were verified operatively of fistula in ano underwent preoperative fistulography of MSCT.The multi-planar reformation(MPR)and surface shadow display(SSD)images were generated and analyzed retrorespectively.Results There were 8 cases with perianal abscess and 20 cases with anal fistula in 28 patients.Complex fistula was diagnosed in 16 cases,and simple inter-sphincteric fistula was found in 4 cases;the inner orificiums of anal fistulas were revealed accurately with MPR images in 18 cases.Conclusion The fistulography of MSCT is valuable for preoperative assessment of anal fistula,in particular for investigation of the inner orificiums of anal fistulas with MPR.
