Objective To study MR manifestations of biliary obstructive disease.Methods MR examination (Philips Gyroscan INTERA 1.0T)in 69 patients with biliary obstructive disease were performed.The conventional sequences included:T1WI/FFE,T2WI/TSE,T2WI/SPIR and contrast-enhanced at axial position,coronal B-FFE and MRCP.All images in all cases were compared with the results of operation and pathology.Results 43 cases were benign disorder,of them,42 cases were choledocholithiasis,one case was choledochal cyst.Choledocholithiasis presented as single or multiple round or ovoid with low signal.The direct sign of malignant lesions (26 cases) was the masses with slightly high signal at the obstructive part,the indirect sign of malignant lesions was obstruction or narrow of bile duct. The MR diagnostic accuracy of obstructive location was 100%, and the accuracy for evaluating the causes of obstruction was 89.9%.Conclusion MRCP combining with B-FFE and routine MRI, analysising the direct sign and indirect sign, can improve the diagnostic accuracy of obstructive jaundice.

Objective To characterize the expression of surfactant protein A (SP-A) in normal and acute pyelonephritic rat kidneys and to study the correlation of infection and inflammation with SP-A expression. Methods Twenty-one rats were randomly assigned into three groups: control, sham operation and pyelonephritic group. HE staining was used to determine tubulointerstitial inflammation. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting were used to determine the mRNA expression and protein level of SP-A. Immunohistochemical staining was used to label the localization and intensity of SP-A expression in kidney tissue. The correlation between intensity of SP-A expression and interstitial inflammation was also evaluated. Results In pyelonephritic group, tubulointerstitial inflammation was more prominent than that in control and sham groups (54.3?11.5,6.4?1.4, 8.6?1.9,respectively). RT-PCR and Western blotting revealed that SP-A expression was up-regulated in pyelonephritic group (in mRNA level: 2.2+0.58, 0.9?0.25, 1.1? 0.30; in protein level: 0.45?0.09, 0.24?0.05, 0.26?0.05, respectively). Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that SP-A expression was mainly localized on epithelial cells in outer medullary and collecting tubules in normal group and sham group, but strong staining extended to collecting tubules in pyelonephritic group. The tubulointerstitial inflammation score was positively correlated with the intensity of SP-A expression (r=0.67,P

Objective: To prepare and in vitro evaluate the self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) of adefovir dipivoxil (ADV).Methods: The optimized formula was screened by solubility, compatibility, ternary phase diagram and orthogonal design with the self-emulsifying time and particle size of microemulsion as the indices.The property of self-emulsification and the dissolution in vitro of ADV-SMEDDS were also determined.Results: The optimized SMEDDS was composed of Cremophor EL35 (37.5%), Transcutol HP (37.5%) and PECEOL (25%), and the drug loading was 3%.The ADV-SMEDDS formed stable microemulsion after the dilution by 50-fold amount of water in 24 s, the average particle size was (26.30±0.46) nm, the zeta potential was (-8.96±0.57) mV, and the dissolution was more than 85% in 5 min.Conclusion: The optimized formula of ADV-SMEDDS has significantly enhanced solubility and dissolution of adefovir dipivoxil in vitro.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic repair of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal(TAPP)and Lichtenstein tension-free repair herniorrhaphy in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia in adults,and to explore the clinical advantages of TAPP in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 54 adult patients with recurrent inguinal hernia from December 2010 to January 2015.The patients were randomly divided into TAPP group and Lichtenstein group.The operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative hospitalization time,cost of hospitalization,postoperative complications,early postoperative pain and the recurrence of hernia were compared between the two groups.Results All patients were successfully completed surgery.The operation time of TAPP group (47.2 ±9.4)min was significantly shorter than (73.1 ±10.4)min of Lichtenstein group (t=-2.503,P=0.034).The median amount of bleeding during operation of TAPP group was 40(15 -110)ml,which was significantly less than 73(11 -130)ml in Lichtenstein group (t=-6.018,P=0.000). Postoperative hospital stay of TAPP group[(6.5 ±1.4)d]was shorter than (8.2 ±1.6)d of the Lichtenstein group (t=-2.613,P=0.028).Early postoperative pain score of TAPP group[(1.8 ±1.2)points]was better than (2.9 ± 1.4)points in Lichtenstein group (t=-7.006,P=0.000),the difference was statistically significant.However,the hospitalization cost of TAPP group[(8 842.8 ±415.2)yuan]was higher than (6 676.9 ±327.6)yuan of the Lichtenstein group,the difference was statistically significant(t=6.782,P<0.05).In TAPP group,2 cases had complications after operation,which were less than 5 cases of Lichtenstein group.Postoperative follow up ranged from 6 to 48 months,1 case of recurrence in Lichtenstein group,the recurrence rate was 3.8%.There was no recurrence in the TAPP group.Conclusion TAPP has the advantages of short operation time,less bleeding,rapid postoperative recovery,less postoperative pain and so on.It can be used as a recommended procedure for the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia in adults.

Objective To investigate the value of 99Tcm-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) scintigraphy in assessing the preoperative chemotherapy response and multidrug resistance of osteosarcoma.Methods From January 2007 to October 2008, 12 patients (female:4, male:8; mean age:16.3 years,range:8-27 years) underwent early (10min) and delayed (120 min) 99Tcm-MIBI scintigraphy before and after preoperative chemotherapy.Seven cases had osteosarcoma at the distal femurs, 2 at the proximal tibias, 2 at the upper end of humerus and 1 at the fibula.The tumor-to-background ratio (T/B) and washout rate (WR) were calculated.Tumor necrosis was classified according to Huvos criterion after limb salvage surgery.Immunohistochemical staining for P-glycoprotein(gp) was examined.Spearman correlation analysis and t-test were performed.Results According to Huvos criterion, 7 patients were classified as good responders with more than 90% of tumor cell necrosis and 5 as poor responders with less than 90% of tumor cell necrosis.R value (ratio of early phase T/B after and before chemotherapy) was significantly lower in good responders than that in poor responders (0.473 ± 0.21 vs 0.998 ± 0.06, t= 5.342, P= 0.000 ).R value was significantly correlated with the degree of tumor cell necrosis ( rs=- 0.87, P= 0.000 ).WR was significantly higher in patients with positive P-gp expression than that in patients with negative P-gp expression ((38.36 ±18.64)% vs (6.40±5.87)%, t= -3.278, P=0.008).There was significant correlation between the WR and P-gp expression (rs = 0.91, P= 0.001 ).Conclusion 99Tcm-MIBI scintigraphy is a feasible non-invasive technique to assess the chemotherapy response and to detect P-gp expression of osteosarcoma.

Objective To investigate the causes and prevention of postoperative pain of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and Lichtensteinrepair in the treatment of adult recurrent inguinal hernia.Methods Sixty adult recurrent inguinal hernia patients were enrolled in this study.They were divided into TAPP group and Lichtenstein group by random digits table,with 30 cases in each group.At 6 h Mter operation,the pain degree was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) and compared between two groups.The level of VAS in TAPP group was (3.76 ± 1.47) scores,in Lichtenstein group was (6.36 ± 1.54) scores,and there was significant difference (t =-5.978,P =0.000).In TAPP group,pain was mainly moderate (17 cases,56.67％) and mild (11 cases,36.67％).In Lichtenstein group,pain was mainly moderate (14 cases,46.66％) and severe (13 cases,43.33％).Postoperative follow-up ranged from 6 to 48 months.No chronic pain appeared in TAPP group.There were 4 cases with chronic pain in Lichtenstein group,and the incidence rate of chronic pain was 13.3％.Conclusions The operation of TAPP in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia in adult patients has the advantage of shorter operation time,less postoperative pain,faster postoperative recovery,and can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative pain.

OBJECTIVETo study the relationship between esophageal motor functional disorder [decreased lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP)and ineffective motility (IEM)] and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

METHODSTotally 89 patients with GERD were enrolled in this study. All of them underwent 24-hour pH monitoring with dual-channel probe and stationary esophageal manometry. In addition, 77 of these patients underwent upper endoscopy.

RESULTSIEM and LES, 10 mmHg were common disturbances in patients with GERD (54% and 48%, respectively). The number of the acid reflux events of distal esophagus and prevalence of moderate or severe erosive esophagitis (EE) were significantly higher in patients with low LESP and IEM than patients without low LESP ( P<0.05). The number of the acid reflux events in distal esophagus was significantly correlated with the severity of esophagitis, distal esophagus amplitude, and LESP, while no such correlation was found between IEM and degree of esophageal acid exposure or esophagitis.

CONCLUSIONSThe pathophysiology of GERD is probably multifactorial. Lower LESP or IEM is not a independent pathophysiological factor for GERD. However,one single factor is insufficient to explain all the pathogenic mechanism of GERD.

Objective:To explore the distribution of pelvic lymph node (PLN) metastasis and the correlative dangerous factors in early cervical cancer patients.Methods:The medical records of 508 patients who underwent extensive hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy for International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰb-Ⅱb cervical cancer in Guizhou Provincial People`s Hospital were reviewed retrospectively.Results:There were 278 patients with stage Ⅰb cervical cancer, 204 patients with stage Ⅱa cervical cancer and 26 patients with stage Ⅱb cervical cancer; the positive rate of lymph node metastasis was 16.7%(85/508), and obturator lymph node metastasis was the most common (56.6%); there were 19 patients with bilateral lymph node metastasis, accounting for 22.35%(19/85); lymph node metastasis occurred 104 times (two times for bilateral simultaneous transfer), and jumping lymph node metastasis accounted for 37.5%(39/104); common iliac lymph node metastasis accounted for 18.3%(19/104). The metastasis rate of patients with stage Ⅱa and Ⅱb (including parametrial, lymph node, ovarian and oviduct metastasis) was higher than that of patients with stage Ⅰb, and the odd ratio ( OR) was 2.30 and 2.48 respectively ( P<0.05); the metastasis rate of patients with moderately differentiated tumors was significantly higher than that of patients with well differentiated and poorly differentiated tumors ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the positive rate of pelvic lymph node metastasis among patients with different ages and histological types ( P>0.05); the positive rate of pelvic lymph node metastasis in patients with stage Ⅱa and Ⅱb was higher than that in patients with stage Ⅰb with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05); the positive rate of pelvic lymph node metastasis in patients with moderately differentiated tumors was higher than that in patients with well differentiated and poorly differentiated tumors, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Obturator lymph node metastasis is the most common in cervical cancer. The risk of lymph node metastasis is increased in patients with stage Ⅱa or moderately differentiated tumors. Jumping metastasis is also a common way of metastasis, which suggests that standard and complete lymph node resection is an important measure to ensure the curative effect.

Objective:To explore the clinico-pathological characteristics and risk factors affecting prognosis in elderly patients with gastric cancer.Methods:A retrospective study was used to retrospectively analyze 2386 patients with gastric cancer undergoing radical surgery in Surgery Department of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 1 January 2012 to 1 January 2015.Patients aged 70 years and older were screened so as to analyze clinical characteristics and influencing factors for the prognosis.Results:A total of 2386 patients with gastric cancer were divided into the elderly group aged 70 years and older(342 of 2386 cases, 14.3%). There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in gender, number of concomitant diseases, NRS2002 score, PG-SGA score, tumor location, tumor diameter, histological type, Borrmann classification, tumor invasion depth staging(pT), lymph node metastasis staging(pN), the anatomic extent of tumor staging(TNM, pTNM), and Lauren classifications( P<0.05). The 981 of 2386 cases(41.4%)had postoperative complications, accompanied by 413 cases(17.3%)of surgery-related complications and 568 cases(24.0%)of non-surgery-related complications.A multivariate logistic analysis showed that the number of preoperative co-existing diseases ≥ 2 was an independent influencing factor for postoperative complications in elderly gastric cancer patients( HR=4.478, 95% CI: 1.121-7.918, P=0.006). The 5-year OS and DSS was 21.10% and 62.73% in the ≥70 years gastric cancer group, and was 54.1% and 70.0% in the <70 years gastric cancer group, respectively.The difference in the 5-year OS between the two groups was statistically significant( P<0.05), while the difference in the 5-year DSS between the two groups was not statistically significant( P>0.05). Multivariate analysis by the Cox proportional hazard model showed that the independent risk factors for the prognosis of elderly patients with gastric cancer included the low-undifferentiated histological type of the tumor( P=0.004), the depth of tumor invasion pT stage of pT4a-pT4b( P=0.007), lymph node metastasis( P=0.034), tumor pTNM stage ⅢA-ⅢC( P=0.002)and vascular tumor thrombus( P=0.034). Conclusions:Elderly patients with gastric cancer have many preoperative co-existing diseases, which increases the risk of postoperative non-surgical complications.Therefore, we should focus on the peri-operative management of their comorbid diseases so as to improve the safety and efficacy of surgery.The advanced age is not the independent risk factors for the prognosis.
