Isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (ISMAD) is a clinically common disease,of which multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) is effective method for screening and follow-up.The diagnosis and treatment should be made based on pathological changes of true or and false lumen.Most patients can relieve by medical treatment,and those with treatment failure can adapt endovascular treatment.Patients with aneurysm rupture or intestinal necrosis should undergo emergent surgical treatment.

Objective To observe the effects of mild hypothermia on the dynamic change of neuron specific enolase (NES) in serum, the damaged neuron number around the impact site and the content of brain tissue water following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rats so as to provide a quantitative parameters to evaluate the protective effect of the mild hypothermia on the brain. Methods A total of 45 SD rats were subjected to a lateral moderate cortical impact injury caused by a free-falling object and divided randomly into three groups:⑴ sham operation group (Group A);⑵ normothermic group (Group B);⑶ hypothermia group (Group C). The Group C was treated with mild hypothermia and the Group B with normothermia immediately after injury. A series of samples were obtained directly 3, 6 and 24 respectively after trauma in three groups. Pathomorphological method was used to observe the number of the damaged cortical neurons around the impact site. The serum concentration of NSE and the water content of brain tissue water were measured by radio-immunoassay. Results Following TBI in rats, the serum level of NSE was significantly increased (P

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) results from a sudden and rapid release of nuclear and cytoplasmic degradation products from malignant cells. It is a rare complication in adult patients with solid tumors who are undergoing treatment. Herein, the authors present a case with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who developed TLS after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), which was successfully treated with aggressive fluid administration, oral allopurinol and urine alkalization, hemodialysis and other supportive therapies. TLS following TACE should be suspected in HCC patients who has large and rapidly-growing lesion.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in treating advanced bladder cancer. Methods A total of 22 patients with advanced bladder cancer were included in this study. The clinical data and the imaging materials were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical efficacy of TAE in treating advanced bladder cancer was evaluated. Results TAE was successfully accomplished in all the 22 patients. The preoperative and the postoperative abdominal pain scores were 4.73± 1.91 and 2.45±1.29 respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01); the preoperative and the postoperative ECOG scores were 3.14±0.47 and 2.68±0.56 respectively (P<0.05); the preoperative and the postoperative hemoglobin levels were (61.4±11.8) g/L and (79.3±14.5) g/L respectively (P<0.01). Of 7 patients with urinary tract obstruction, after the treatment the obstruction disappeared in 5 and was improved in 2, although the urination was still not smooth. All patients were followed up for (7.1±3.0) months. The 6-month survival rate was 54.5% (12/22). No serious complications occurred in all patients. Conclusion TAE can not only effectively improve the hematuria and urinary tract obstruction symptoms caused by bladder cancer, but also effectively control the tumor growth, improve the quality of life and prolong the survival time as well.

Usually the survival period of patients with duodenal obstruction caused by inoperable advanced pancreatic cancer is rather short. For such patients, minimally invasive treatment should be employed as the first choice. This paper reported a case with advanced pancreatic cancer complicated by biliary and duodenal obstruction. After implantation of biliary stent, the obstructive jaundice was relieved. Because of the insufficient cardiac function, the patient was not able to tolerate gastrojejuostomy; besides, as both DSA-guided stent implantation and endoscopic nutrition tube placement failed to success, implantation of nutrition tube via the trans-hepatic and biliary route, as a novel tube placement technique, had to be carried out, and the result in this case was satisfactory.

Objective To evaluate risk factors of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with undetectable HBV DNA levels.Methods From August 2012 to Sepemter 2015,all patients who underwent TACE for HBV-related HCC with HBV DNA level less than 103 copies/ml in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were enrolled into the study.These patients were followed-up for at least 6 months after TACE to assess HBV reactivation.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were done to evaluate the risk factors related to HBV reactivation in these patients.Results With predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria,99 patients were enrolled into the study.Twenty-four patients (24.2％) developed HBV reactivation after TACE in the followed-up period.The level of transaminase was significantly higher in the HBV reactivation group than the non HBV reactivation group (P ＜ 0.05).HBeAg positivity and tumors more than 3 in number were independent risk factors of HBV reactivation.Conclusion HCC patients with undetectable levels of HBV DNA had a significant risk of HBV reactivation after TACE.

Objective:To study the a feasibility of modified pharyngoplasty in the treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency.Methods:30 cases of velopharyngeal insufficiency were treated with a modified pharyngoplasty followed by speech training.The effects of the treatment were evaluated by blowing test (BT),chinese articulation inteligibility test (CIT) and hypernasality observation(HO).Results:Before and after treatment BT was 1～26 and 8～40,CIT(%) 20～60 and 47～82,HO(cases) 30 and 3,respectively.Conclusions:The modified pharyngoplastic surgery is feasible in the treatment of velophayngeal insufficiency.

Objective:To apply electropalatography(EPG) in speech training for the patients with misarticulations caused by abnormal palatolingual contact, such as palatalized misarticulation(PM) and lateral misarticulation(LM) because of cleft lip and palate. Methods: Four patients with cleft lip and palate averagely aged 12.5 years old were enrolled in this study. PM was found in all the patients with or without LM. Misarticulations of these patients were corrected by visual feedback of EPG in speech training. Speech intelligibility and electropalatogram before and after therapy were compared. Results: It was convenient for the patients to check their pronaciation by the visual feedback of EPG.Their speech intelligibility was improved and palatolingual contact were more anterior after speech training. Conclusion: EPG is a valuable instrument in speech training for patients with misarticulation

Objective To evaluate the value of computed tomography(CT)in diagnosing abdominal tuberculosis.Methods CT features of abdominal tuberculosis proven histopathologically or by antituberculous therapy in 16 cases were retrospectively analysed.There were 8 men and 8 women,the age ranged from 20 to 66 years,mean age was 36.4 years.Results The most common CT features of abdominal tuberculosis were:lymphadenectasis(n=11),mesenteric masses(n=6),ascites(n=6,all were loculated),omental thickening(n=7),bowel wall thickening(n=6),pleural fluid(n=2),and pancreatic involvement(n=1).Tuberculous lymphadenosis(mainly the mesentery and peripancreatic lymph nodes involved)had typical CT findings including circular or multilocular enhancement,calcification of lymph nodes,abdominal lymph nodes involved more than that of retroperitoneum and peritonitis(high dense ascites,patchy or nodular lesions in the mesentery and omentum,and intestinal adhesion).Conclusion CT findings in combination with clinical symptoms and laboratory test can improve the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis.
