ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-term survival rate of precancerous lesions and early esophageal cancer after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR).MethodsThe follow-up endoscopy was performed in 154 patients with early esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions who underwent EMR.The examinations were carried out at 1 month,6 months and every 1 year after the procedure,respectively,and argon plasma coagulation (APC) was applied if a recurrent lesion was suspected.The follow-up rate was 100%.ResultsAfter EMR,reecurence occurred in 6 cases (3.9%) in 5 years,of which 4 received esophagectmy,1 underwent APC,and the other one died from matastasis.The 5-year survival rate was 97.4% (150/154),with 1 died from matastasis and 3 from noncancerous diseases.The 5-year survival rate of 125 patients with high grade dysplasia,carcinoma in situ and intramucosal carcinoma was 97.6%( 122/ 125),with 1 died from noncancerous disease and 1 from metastasis.The 5-year survival rate of 29 patients with low grade dysplasia was 96.6% ( 28/29 ) with 1 patient died from noncancerous disease.ConclusionEMR,as a minimally invasive procedure,is suitable for precancerous lesions and early esophageal cancer,especially for high grade dysplasia,carcinoma in situ and intramueosal carcinoma,with little sequela and long-term survival.

Objective To evaluate the treatment outcome of endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection (EMR) and alleviate or prevent the complication of EMR. Methods We explore a strategy of endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection to treat early esophageal cancer and severe dysplasia . Endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection was performed with transparent-cap technique, resdiual lesions were treated by Argon Plasma Cocagulation( APC). All patients have been followed up by endoscopic examinations at one month, 4 months, and 12 months after therapy. Results Seventy one cases (88 lesions) were treated by endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection with transparent-cap method. Average doses of saline-epinephrine 18 ml is injected submucosally to each lesion. The resected specimens were on average(21.8 ?1.0)mm ? (18.2?1. 0)mm in size. Five cases have bleeding after mucosectomy, bleeding were managed and controlled by compression , local injection of saline-epinephrin, and APC. Perforation never occurred. Four cases have stenosis after mucosal resection, in three of them the resected area was more than 3/4 esophageal circumference, then it was dilated with water ballon dilater at one month, two months and three months after mucosal resection, all cases were cured. Conclusions Endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection is a safe, simple, minimally invasive and effective procedure with few complication in treating early esophageal cancer and precan-cerous lesion.

Objective To evaluate the application and effect of endoscopic screening directly with i-odine stain in high risked area of esophageal cancer and compare the detecting rate of cancer and dysplasia before and after iodine stains. Methods In the high risked area of esophageal cancer, endoscopic exam were directly performed in 3 022 people, aged 40 - 69 years with iodine staining and biopsy, then observing and recording the alternation of color and morphology of mucbsa and texture of submucosal blood vessels before and after iodine staining. Results One hundred and thirty one cases of esophageal carcinoma and 659 cases of moderate and severe dysplasia were diagnosed by biopsy; the discovery of esophageal cancer before and after iodine stain were 57 ( 1. 9% ) and 111(3.7%) cases, while of moderate and severe dysplasia were 154(5. 0% ) and 659(21. 8% ) cases respectively with significant statistical differences. Conclusion The mucosal iodine staining under endoscopy markedly increased the detecting rates of early superficial esophageal cancer and dysplasia ( moderate and severe) .

Objective To approach the value of combination mode of different CT post-processing technique in diagnosing rib fine fracture.Methods 98 patients suspected with rib fractures underwent multislice spiral CT(MSCT) scanning,and CT features of rib fractures were observed with the combination of three different images:(A)volume rendering(VR),curved planar reformation(CPR) and axial view;(B)maximum intensity projection(MIP),CPR and sxial view;and(C) VR+MIP,CPR and axial view.The results were respectively recorded.Results 265 rib fine fractures were found among 98 patients.The detecting rate of fine fractures with C group was higher than that with A group (χ~2＝6.67,P＜0.01) and B group (χ~2＝6.75,P＜0.01).Conclusion MSCT four step observation method can improve the detecting rate of rib fine fracture,that is of important clinical value.

Objective To approach the application value of diffusion weighted imaging with background suppression (DWIBS) combined with routine MR sequence in differentiating benign and malignant lymph nodes,and assessing therapeutic effect of lympho-genic tumors.Methods 48 patients with cervical lymph node enlargement who were confirmed by pathology and follow up under-went DWIBS and routine MRI examination,malignant lymph nodes were 83,benign lymph nodes were 79.16 patients with malig-nant lymph nodes were rechecked after radiotherapy and chemotherapy,Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)values of the solid part for lymph nodes were compared.Results More lymph nodes can be detected in DWIBS than conventional sequence.ADC values of the solid part for malignant lymph node(0.898±0.111)×10-3 mm2/s were lower than that of benign lymph node(1.043±0.106)× 10-3 mm2/s,there was significant difference between them (P<0.05).ADC values of all malignant lymph nodes after treatment (1.205±0.121)×10-3 mm2/s were significantly higher than that of pretherapy (0.883±0.090)×10-3 mm2/s (P<0.05).Conclu-sion DWIBS could more sensitively detect lymph node than conventional MR sequence.ADC value could provide some reference values for differentiating benign and malignant lymph nodes and assessing therapeutic effect.

Objective To observe the effects of different compatibility ratios of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix on vascular intimal hyperplasia; To ascertain the effective compatibility of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix for antagonizing vascular intimal hyperplasia. Methods SD rats were divided into different groups by baseline geometric design method: Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix different compatibility ratios groups, Astragali Radix group, Angelicae Sinensis Radixgroup, positive medicinegroup and sham-operation group. A model of intimal hyperplasia of thoracoabdominal aorta was established by balloon catheter injury in vascular endothelium of rats. Then the thoracoabdominal aorta was taken out after gavage of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix with different compatibility ratios for 14 days. Bloodletting was used to take thoracoabdominal aorta. Masson staining and Morphometric methods were used to analyze the intimal hyperplasia. Results IA, IT, HRIA and HRIT increased 14 day after intimal injury. Compared with the model group, IA, IT, HRIA and HRIT in Angelicae Sinensis Radix group, Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix 1:2 group, Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix 1:5 group, Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix 1:1 group and Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix 5:1 group were lower, and the effects of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix 1:1 ratio were strongest. The effects on intimal hyperplasia in Astragali Radix group and Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis 2:1 group had no significant differences compared with model group. Conclusion Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis can inhibit vascular intimal hyperplasia in a certain compatibility ratios, and the effects of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix 1:1 on intimal hyperplasia are the best.

Objective To investigate the application value of diffusion-weighted imaging with background suppression (DWIBS) in lymph node metastasis of rectal cancer.Methods 30 patients with rectal cancer diagnosed by colonoscopy underwent routine MRI and DWIBS examinations.Metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes were confirmed by postoperative pathology.Apparent diffu-sion coefficient (ADC)values of the solid part of metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes were measured and compared.ROC curve analysis was used to define the threshold between the metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes.Results In all 73 lymph nodes,there were 52 metastatic lymph nodes and the other 21 were non-metastatic.ADC values of the solid part of metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes were (0.881 ± 0.094)× 10 -3 mm2/s and (1.072 ± 0.108)×10 -3 mm2/s respectively,the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).With the threshold ADC value of 0.957×10 -3 mm2/s,the sensitivity and specificity for dif-ferentiating metastatic from non-metastatic lymph nodes were 90.5% and 80.8% respectively.The diagnostic value was excellent (Az value = 0.91 9,P <0.05).Conclusion ADC values may be used to differentiate lymph node metastasis of rectal cancer,and DWIBS has higher application value in assessing lymph node metastasis of rectal cancer.
