Objective To discuss the effect of pericardial devascularization plus gastric fundus transaction in advance schis?tosomiasis patients with portal hypertension. Methods Thirty?six advanced schistosomiasis patients with portal hypertension treated with devascularization plus gastric fundus transaction(a portal hypertension group),as well as 10 patients treated with modified Sugiura operation(a modified Sugiura operation group)in the Third People’s Hospital of Yangxin County since 2006 were chosen as the observation objects,and the clinical effects of the two groups were observed and compared. Results The op?eration time,indwelling time of stomach tube,time to taking food after operation,drainage tube removal time of the portal hy?pertension group were all shorten than those of the modified Sugiura operation group(all P<0.05). The hospitalization expenses of the two groups were(25 466.00 ± 2 888.48)Yuan and(34 517.10 ± 4 948.39)Yuan respectively,and the difference was al?so statistically significant(P<0.05). The incidence rates of portal thrombosis of the portal hypertension group and modified Sug?iura operation group were 33.33%(12/36)and 40.00%(4/10),respectively,and the incidence rates of rehaemorrhagia of the two groups 12 months after the operation were 16.67%(6/36)and 10.00%(1/10),respectively,but the differences had no sta?tistically significance(both P>0.05). In addition,1 case with delayed gastric emptying and 1 case with stomal leak of esopha?gus happened in the modified Sugiura operation group,while no corresponding complications happened in the portal hyperten?sion group. Conclusions Pericardial devascularization plus gastric fundus is a relatively easy procedure which has a good short?term clinical effect,and therefore it is suitable for application in primary hospitals. However,its long?term effect still needs fur?ther observation.

Objective: To explore automatic breast full volume imaging (ABVS) and color doppler ultrasound (CDFI) for breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in the evaluation of curative effect. Methods:The application of a CDFI and ABVS 42 cases of breast cancer patients receiving NCT lesions imaging characteristics before and after observation and analysis. Results:ABVS from coronal distribution and audio-visual change according to the primary tumor, and CDFI images showing the primary tumors and blood flow changes within all have significant difference in patients with complete remission after NCT (P<0.01);ABVS from coronal distri-bution and audio-visual change according to the primary tumor, and CDFI showed lesions in blood flow changes, etc. in patients with the absence of change and easing some lesions have no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion:We use ABVS and CDFI for breast cancer before and after the NCT curative effect evaluation of great clinical significance and value.

Objective To evaluate the value of 16-slice spiral computed tomography(SCT)in diagnosing acute aortic syndrome.Methods Thirty-four cases with acute aortic syndrome underwent 16-slice SCT,performed with unenhanced,contrast-enhanced scanning of bolus tracking and three-dimensional reconstruction.The CT findings of these cases were analysed.Results Twenty-three of them were confirmed Aortic Dessection(AD),the true and false lumen,intimal flap,extent involved and complications of which were all revealed.Six cases were confirmed intramural aortic hematoma(IMH),with features of ring or crescent-shaped non-enhanced thickening wall around the aorta.Five cases were confirmed penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer(PAU),with features of niche sign outstanding the lumen of the aorta.Conclusion Acute aortic syndrome can he diagnosed exactly and completely by 16-slice SCT,which can provide valuable information to select therapeutic methods.

Objective To explore the changes of the plasma motilin(MTL)and serum gastrin(GAS)levels and their relationship with course of disease,the severity,the complication of digestive system in neonates with intracranial haemorrhage(ICH).Methods The objects were 26 cases of term newborns with ICH,the healthy control group contained 30 cases of healthy term newborns.Plasma motilin and serum gastrin concentration were measured by radioimmmunoassay in 26 cases of newborns with ICH in the 2 d,3-5 d,7-10 d,and 12-15 d after birth,and compared with the healthy control group.Results Compared with healthy control group,the blood GAS and MTL levels of neonatal ICH group increased dramatically(Pa

A total of 12 cases with Achilles tendon rupture were repaired by modified Kessler's methods.The sutured tendons were then strengthened with Mitek anchor system with 2 anchors inserted into the calcaneus lateral and medial to insertion of Achilles tendon and the sutures passed through the repaired tendon using Bunnel methods.The healing of skin incision,time to weight bearing,range of motion of the ankles,calcaneal pain and re-ruptures were recorded.The results were evaluated according to Amer-Lindholm criteria.All the patients were followed up with mean 17 months (range from 14 to 25 months).There were no calcaneeal pain or re-rupture cases,neither deep nor superficial wound infection or skin necrosis cases.According to Arner-Lindholm criteria for curative result,the result was excellent in 4 cases and good in 8 cases.The Mitek anchor system can be used successfully to treat Achilles tendon rupture and decrease postoperative complications.Thus,the technique is an ideal option for Achilles tendon rupture repair.

Objective To evaluate 16-SCT in diagnosing aeute appendicitis.Methods The CT findings of 34 cases were retrospectively analyzed.These cases were all proved acute appendicitis by surgical-pathology.Results 30 cases were confirmed by CT,with accuracy 88% (30/34).The diameter of 28 appendix was more than 6mm;2 collapsed with thickening wall.Periappendiceal fat stranding could be seen in 25 cases.Perforated appendicitis happened in 4 cases.Abscess performed in 2 cases.3 cases were missed,1 misdiagnosed.Conclusion 16-SCT could confirm acute appendicitis and its complication timely and accurately.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effect and safety of chiropractic in treating cervicogenic sudden hearing loss.

METHODSFrom January 2011 to October 2013, 90 patients with cervicogenic sudden hearing loss were randomly divided into treatment group and control group according to the random number table produced by SPSS 19.0 software. In the treatment group, there were 17 males and 28 females, aged from 31 to 62 years old with an average of (47.57±9.43) years; course of disease was from 1 to 3 days with an average of (1.43±0.68) days; pure-tone audiometry score was from 46.5 to 77.8 dB with the mean of (61.20±9.83) dB; Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) score was from 17 to 31 scores with an average of (23.46±7.18) scores. In the control group, there were 15 males and 30 females, aged from 28 to 64 years old with an average of (45.77±6.99) years; course of disease was from 1 to 3 days with an average of (1.50±0.73) days; pure-tone audiometry score was from 48.1 to 75.0 dB with the mean of (63.91±8.05) dB; Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) score was from 20 to 29 scores with an average of (25.61±10.43) scores. The patients of control group were treated with dexamethasone intravenous drip of 10 mg, 3 days later, decreased to 5 mg, 3 days again. And with the methycobal intravenous drip of 500 μg, treatment continued for 10 days. The patients of treatment group were treated with chiropractic additionally except for the therapeutic methods of control group. Chiropractic included local muscle loosening, attacking point, bilateral pulling atlanto-axial joint, and continuous treatment for 10 days. The pure-tone audiometry score and NPQ score were compared between two groups after treatment.

RESULTSAfter the treatment, pure-tone audiometry score and NPQ score in treatment group improved to (40.23± 8.14) dB and (12.70±8.29) scores respectively, which were obviously better than that of control group's (37.70±10.61) dB and (21.24±11.13) scores (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONCompared with routine method for cervicogenic sudden hearing loss, additional chiropractic can improve hearing and relieve neck pain effectively.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). Methods Clinical data was analyzed in 9 children who had been diagnosed as MAS in our hospital from Jan, 2003 to Aug, 2006. Results Seven children were boys, 2 children were girls, aged 5 months to 12 years. Clinical manifestations included long-term fever, hemophagocytic cell in bone marrow, anemia, arthritis, enlargement of lymph nodes, enlargement of liver and spleen, liver dysfunction, abnormal fat metabolism. Two cases had acute respiratory, distress syndrome(ARDS), 2 cases were complicated with multi- pie organ failure(MOF), two patients died. Glucocorticoid combined with immunosuppressive therapy were effective, HP(Plasma Exchange)was applied in one severe case and was shown to he effective. Conclusion MAS is a serious complication of JIA, especially in systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is very im- portant to recognize and treat MAS earlier.

Objective To evaluate the effect of three diamension-digital subtraction angiography (3D-DSA) or computed tomography angiography (CTA) on the patients with ruptured multiple intmcranial aneurysm (MIA). Methods A retrospective study on 21 patients with MIA was performed.After scanning with 3D-DSA or 3D-CTA, three-dimensional reconstruction of MIA was carried out by 3D workstation,then the diagnosis was decided and the treatment plan (endovascular treatment or microsurgery) was selected according to stereoscopic image of MIA. Results (1) 3D-DSA or CTA was performed in 21 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH),it was revealed these patients carried with 48 aneurysms,including 35 small aneurysms (25 mm).Not only miero-aneurysms and small aneurysms could be precisely showed,also the size of aneurysmal neck,the relationship of the aneurysm and the parent vessel and contiguous branches by stereoscopic image.(2) According to the standard of classification,9 patients with MIA for gradeⅠ(42.9%),10 for gradeⅡ(47.6%),2 for gradeⅢ(9.5%),0 for gradeⅣ.Endovascular treatment was selected prior to microsargery for those high grade patients.In this group,17 patients with 40 aneurysms underwent endovascular embolotherapy with GDC coils.Twenty four anemysms were completely occlusioned,12 beyond 90%,4 were left without treatment because of their small size.In microsurgery group,3 aneurysrus were totally clipped,1 could not be found during operation.No any treatment was accepted in 2 patients with 4 aneurysms. Conclusions 3D-DSA or CTA,which is very useful for the diagnosis and treatment of MIA,could improve the accuracy of diagnosis of MIA and clearly show the stereoscopic image of MIA,also the relation of sac and parent artery.For those patients with high grade MIA,endovascular treatment was selected prior to microsurgery,pro re nata,used to combine with mierosurgery.
