Objective To evaluate the differential diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT between pancreatic lymphoma (PL) and pancreatic carcinoma (PC).Methods The 18 F-FDG PET-CT data of 16 patients who were pathological diagnosed with PL were retrospectively reviewed and compared with those of 32 consecutive pancreatic cancer patients who were pathologically diagnosed and randomly enrolled.The age,location,diameter and the maximum standard uptake values (SUVmax) of pancreatic lesions,pancreatic ductal dilatation,distal pancreatic atrophy,serum CA19-9 level and extrapancreatic organs involvement were analyzed.Results The 16 patients with PL included 8 men and 8 women,the mean age was (46 ± 17)year,and 11.1％ (1/9) patients had elevated CA19-9.The 32 patients with PC included 15 men and 17 women,the mean age was (61 ± 12)year,and 81.3％ patients had elevated CA19-9.There were no significant differences on gender between the two groups,while the mean age of PL patients was younger than that of PC,elevated CA19-9 was less common than that in PC,and the differences were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).There were 12 cases of diffusive large B cell lymphoma,2 cases of B lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukaemia,1 case of follicular lymphoma and 1 case of dysplastic large T cell lymphoma in 16 PL patients.There was no significant difference on the site of pancreatic lesions between the two groups,but long diameter of PL lesions was larger than that of PC [(6.6 ± 3.3) vs (4.3 ± 1.8) cm,P =0.038].Dilated pancreatic duct and distal parenchyma atrophy in PL were less than those in PC (3/16 vs 17/32,1/16 vs 13/32),and SUVmax of PL lesions was significantly higher than that of PC (12.0 ± 5.5 vs 8.6 ± 3.8),indicating that the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).The cut-off value of SUVmax was 9.95,and Youden's index was 0.406 with the sensitivity and specificity of 68.8％ and 71.9％ for differentiating PL from PC.The incidence of extrapancreatic lesions including bone marrow and kidney and spleen infiltration was significantly more frequent in patients with PL than that in patients with PC(56.3％ vs 6.25％,43.8％ vs 3.1％,50.0％ vs 6.3％),while the incidence of liver metastases was significantly lower than that in PC (12.5％ vs 5.0％),indicating that the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜0.01).There were no significant differences on the incidence of other extrapancreatic lesions.Conclusions PL should be considered in relatively younger patients and manifested as a bulky mass with significant FDG uptake and extrapancreatic involvement of bone,kidney and spleen but without distinct pancreatic ductal dilation or distal parenchymal atrophy or liver metastasis.

Objectives To analysis the main characteristics and changes of the internal death in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in the past five years. Methods The clinical data of 330 death cases in PICU internal medicine were retrospectively analyzed from January 2008 to December 2012. Results The mortality rate in PICU dropped from 5.85%to 3.96% from 2008 to 2012. Among 330 death cases, 136 cases (41.2%) were infants, 73 cases (22.1%) were toddlers, 51 cases (15.45%) were preschoolers, and 70 cases (21.21%) were school-age and adolescence. In different years, the differences of distribution of death in different age groups were statistical significance (χ2=6.90, P=0.009). In all years, the infant had the highest death rate. As the time progresses, the death rate of the infant and young children decreases, while the death rate of the school-age and adolescence increases. Among the diseases caused death, the cardiovascular disease was the most common disease (33.94%), followed by hematologic malignancy (31.52%). The difference of distribution of the diseases caused death in different age group was statistically significant (P<0.01). The cardiovascular disease was main cause of death in infant, and the hematologic malignancy was the main cause of death in other three age groups. Within 24 h admission, the pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) had been assessed, 67.49% was critical and 15.48%was extremely critical. The hospitalization time was negatively correlated with PCIS (r=-0.313, P<0.001). Conclusions In the past five years, the mortality in PICU declined year by year. Cardiovascular disease in infancy and hematologic malignancy in non infancy are the leading cause of death in children. Admission in critical or extremely critical condition is the reason of early death in hospital.

Objective The purpose of the study was to investigate clinical manifestation and the characters of diagnosis and treatment among children with primary angiitis of the central nervous system (cPACNS) in order to improve awareness of the disease.Methods Clinical data of 5 children with cPACNS in the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from January 2009 to December 2013 were collected,and the clinical manifestations and laboratory test results were analyzed and summarized.Results Five cases of children with cPACNS were misdiagnosed at the first clinic visit,and were confirmed a clear diagnosis on the average of (4±6) months; clinical manifestations of five cases of varying degrees of headache,one case with severe headache,2 patients with decreased visual acuity,a cases with hearing were loss,two cases with secondarily generalized seizures; five cases with mild abnormal cerebrospinal fluid examination; 1 case with elevated ESR and CRP level,1 case with elevated immunoglobulin IgG level; 5 cases with abnomal MRI examinations,which showed multiple bilateral lesions,diffuse,lesions,involving the cortex and deep white matter; 4 cases had vascular abnormalities on MRA,treated with corticosteroids alone or in combination with cyclophosphamide and achieved good results.Conclusion Children of primary central nervous system vasculitis is ar are autoimmmune disease primarily involving the central nervous system.It is difficult for the clinical diagnosis.Children need to be wary of the major manifestation of headache associated with vision loss,hearing loss,seizures and other focal neurological system damage.

Objective To investigate the levels of Th1 and Th2 cell in the peripheral and the cytokines (IFN-γ,TNF-α,IL-12,IL-10,IL-4) in the culture medium at different time in the porcine model with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS) after continuous blood purification(CBP). Methods Twenty-four young porcines were given intravenous infusion of endotoxin to induce MODS, then were randomly divided into 2 groups:CBP group(n = 12) and MODS group without CBP(n = 12). Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) was the main mode for CBP. At baseline, onset of MODS, and 2 h,4 h,6 h after treatment of CVVHDF,we picked the blood respectively to separate the T helper cell using the beads,detected the Th1 and Th2 cell by FACS and detected the cytokines (IFN-γ,TNF-α,IL-12,IL-10,IL-4) in the culture medium by ELISA. Results The MODS group showed a obvious rise in TNF-α,the drop tendency in IL-12,IFN-γ,IL-10,Th1/Th2 ratio, and no significant change in IL-4. After the treatment, the CBP group showed the drop in TNF-α and IL-4;and increase in IL-12,IFN-γ,IL-10 and Th1/Th2 ratio. Conclusion CBP helps to dear immune function,and restore the balance of Th1/Th2 in porcine MODS model.

Objective To evaluate surgical therapies in patients with popliteal aneurysms (PA).Method The clinical data of 25 PA patients admitted from January 1988 to January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 21 men and 4 women,the mean age was (56 ± 16)years.There were 27 PA in these 25 patients,with bilateral PA in 2 cases.The main symptoms were pulsatile mass in the popliteal fossa,limb pain,acute or chronic distal limb ischemia and limb edema.Result In this series 23out of 25 PA cases recieved operations,17 of them were treated with aneurysmectomy and saphenous vein interposition or bypass grafting,4 of them were treated with aneurysmectomy and prosthetic grafts interposition,1 was treated with aneurism ligation and 1 underwent end-to-end anastomosis after aneurysm resection.There was no perioperative mortality.One patient recieved amputation for distal anastomotic thrombosis and severe limb ischemia.The mean follow-up time is (6.5 ± 0.5) years.After 4 years,a right subclavian artery aneurysm was found in a bilateral PA case and treated surgically.Conclusions Early elective surgical treatment is recommended for patients with PA because PA may go rupture or induce dital limb ischemia and these patients may have good outcome after surgical treatment.Long-term follow-up is warranted to detect the new aneurysm formation.
