Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography in determining the laryngeal mask airway position using three-dimensional CT reconstruction (3D-CTR) images as the standard.Methods:One hundred and thirty-four patients, aged 18-64 yr, weighing 30-100 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective cerebral vascular interventional stent surgery in our hospital, were selected.Cervical ultrasonography was performed before and after laryngeal mask airway placement, and digital subtraction angiography was performed during operation to obtain 3D-CTR images.Neck ultrasound and 3D-CTR images were analyzed and graded.Results:A total of 125 patients completed the study.At the vertical position of the laryngeal mask airway, ultrasonic grading was positively correlated to 3D-CTR grading ( r=0.742, P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of ultrasound in determining the rotation of the laryngeal mask airway was 73.0% (95% CI: 62.0%-84.4%), 92.8% (95% CI: 86.9%-98.7%), 89.1% (95% CI: 80.5%-97.7%), 81.0% (95% CI: 72.6%-89.4%), and 74.2% (95% CI 65.2%-81.1%), respectively.In terms of laryngeal mask airway depth grading, the correlation between ultrasonic grading was positively correlated to 3D-CT grading ( r=0.332, P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of ultrasound in determining the depth of the laryngeal mask airway was 58.5% (95% CI: 46.9%-70.1%), 93.3% (95% CI: 87.2%-99.4%), and 90.5% (95% CI: 82.0%-99.0%), 67.5% (95% CI: 57.7%-77.3%), and 33.2% (95% CI: 16.8%-47.8%), respectively.The positive predictive value of ultrasound in determining the optimal placement of the laryngeal mask airway was 61.1% (95% CI: 48.6%-73.6%). Conclusion:Although ultrasound cannot measure the depth of the tip of the laryngeal mask airway into the esophagus, it has higher accuracy in determining the rotation and can be used as a reliable tool for clinical detection of the position of the laryngeal mask airway, especially the rotation.

Objective To evaluate the safety and diagnostic accuracy of preoperative endoscopic ultrasound-guid﹣ed fine-needle aspiration in patients with pancreatic cancer. Methods 256 patients with pancreatic cancer from Jan﹣uary 2010 to December 2014, 82 were considered resectable on the basis of cross-sectional imaging findings. Of these patients, 54 underwent EUS-FNA before surgery (FNA+group) and 28 underwent surgery without preoperative EUS-FNA (FNA- group), the diagnosis result of EUS-FNA and the survival time of the two groups were observed. Results All 54 lesions were visible on EUS, and all 54 attempts at FNA were technically successful. The diagnostic accuracy according to cytology and histology findings was 94.44 % (51/54) and 88.89% (48/54), respectively, and the total accuracy was 94.44 % (51/54). Two patients developed mild pancreatitis and two hemorrhage after EUS-FNA but were successfully treated by conservative therapy. No severe complications occurred after EUS-FNA. In the FNA+and FNA- groups, the median relapse-free survival (RFS) was 282 and 265 d, respectively (P>0.05), and the median overall survival (OS) was 568 and 557 d, respectively (P>0.05). RFS and OS were therefore not inferior in the FNA+group. These data indicate that the usage of EUS-FNA did not influence RFS or OS, nor did it increase the risk of other complications. Conclusions Preoperative EUS-FNA is a safe and accurate diagnostic method.

Background Different depthes or distances are prompted with many visual cues on the flat screen.Which kind of depth cues plays a major role in the accommodation of human eyes,in addition,whether this effect exists in the different distance are still below understood.Objective This study was to research the effect of the monocular space depth perception on accommodative response at different distances,and to analyze the effect of linear perspective and size-constancy perceptual depth cues on the level and amplitude of accommodative fluctation.Methods Four groups of visual targets were designed by FLASH software and placed at the front of eyes with the distance of 50 cm or 33.3 cm,representing static change from far to near and dynamic change from far to near,from near to far respectively.Twenty-six healthy volunteers aged 22-26 years were included in this study,with the spherical power of (-4.06± 1.99) D and cylindrical power of (-0.38±0.41) D under the informed consent.The accommodative response and accommodative fluctuations during monocularly watching the targets were recorded at 5 times/second by Grand Seiko WAM 5500 automatic infrared refractor.This study was approved by Ethic Committee of Wenzhou Medical University,and written informed consent was obtained from each subject before entering the study group.Results At the distance of 50 cm,the accommodative response caused by the depth perception of near was (1.52±0.46) D,the one of distance was (1.37±0.46) D,with a significant difference of 0.15 D under the combined effect of linear perspective and size-constancy (P =0.016).The accommodative response caused by the depth perception of big car was (1.43 ± 0.35) D,and the one of small car was (1.43 ± 0.36) D,without statistically significant difference under the effect of size-constancy alone (P =0.467).At the distance of 33.3 cm,the accommodative response caused by the depth perception of near was (2.40±0.53)D,and the one of distance was (2.35 ±0.51) D,without significant difference under the combined effect of linear perspective and size-constancy (P=0.379).The accommodative response caused by the depth perception of big car was (2.38±0.48)D,the one of small car was (2.39±0.52)D,without statistically significant difference under the effect of size-constancy alone (P =0.820).In addition,the total curve of accommodative microfluctuation showed apparent fluctuation periodically caused by the distance perception involving linear perspective only.Conclusions Monocular space depth perception has some impacts on the accommodative response at certain distance.Linear perspective,which is one of the depth cues of space perception,plays a major role in the accommodative response.Compared with the size-constancy,linear perspective can provide depth perception at higher level.The size-constancy has a little or contrast impact to the accommodation,because it depends on the assistance from other depth cues like linear perspective.
