Adenoid hypertrophy is a disease that mostly occurs among children of 3-5 years old. It is caused by repeated inflammation and infection of nasopharynx and its adjoin parts, or the adenoid itself, which will finally leads to pathological hyperplasia of adenoid. With so much information we have acquired about this disease, its specific mechanism remains unknown. In recent years, some researches have indicated that adenoid hypertrophy may have something to do with extra-gastroesophageal reflux, in which pepsin plays a very important role, and pepsin will do a series of pathological damages to the upper airway as it reaches the upper respiratory tract. Based on relative domestic and foreign literature, this paper attempts to make a review about the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux and adenoid hypertrophy.

Objective To investigate the effect of sevoflurane preconditioning-postconditioning on thromboxane A2 and prostaglandin I2 during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Methods Fifty healthy male Wistar rats weighing 250-280 g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 10 each) : sham operation group (group S) , I/R group, sevoflurane preconditioning group (group Spr), sevoflurane postconditioning group (group Spo)and combination of sevoflurane preconditioning and postconditioning group (group Spr + po). Myocardial I/R was produced by occlusion of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 2 h reperfusion in anesthetized rats. In group S the anterior descending branch was only exposed but not ligated. Group Spr received 15 min inhalation of 2.5 % sevoflurane and 15 min wash-out 30 min before ischemia. Group Spo received 5 min inhalation of 2.5% sevoflurane 1 min before reperfusion. Arterial blood samples were taken at 2 h of reperfusion for determination of the levels of MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) , lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) , cardiac troponin I (cTnI), thromboxane B2(TXB2), and 6-keto-prostaglandin (6-keto-PGF1α) and platelet maximum aggregation rate. TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α ratio was calculated. The myocardial tissues were taken for microscopic examination. Mitochondria] injury was assessed by using Flameng score and stereology (Specific surface, δ and Numerical density on area, NA) .Results Compared with group S, the levels of CK-MB, LDH, cTnI, TXE2 and 6-ketoPGF1α, TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α ratio, platelet maximum aggregation rate and Flameng score were significantly increased, while δ and NA were significantly decreased in group I/R (P < 0.05 or 0.01) . The levels of CK-MB,LDH and cTnI, TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α ratio and Flameng score were significantly lower, and 6-keto-PGF1α level, δand NA were significantly higher in Spr and Spo groups than in group I/R ( P < 0.05 or 0.01) . The levels of CKMB, LDH, cTnI and TXB2 , TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α ratio, platelet maximum aggregation rate and Flameng score were significantly lower and 6-keto-PGF1α level,δ and NA were significantly higher in group Spr + po than in Spr and Spo groups(P < 0.05). Conclusion Sevoflurane preconditioning-postconditioning can reduce myocardial I/R injury through inhibiting the release of thromboxane A2 and promoting the release of prostaglandin I2 in rats.

Objective To investigate the relationship between body fat distribution and pulse wave velocity (PWV) in middle-aged and aged population. Methods Two hundred patients received health examination were enrolled into the male group (103 cases) and the female group (97 cases). Visceral fat volume (VFV), subcutaneous fat volume (SFV) and ba-PWV were determined. Results Compared to patients in the female group, patients in the male group had significantly higher VFV values [(3.17 ± 0.84) kg vs (2.30 ± 0.94) kg], and lower SFV values [(15.56 ± 3.49) kg vs (17.69 ± 4.82) kg], In the male group, there existed a positive correlation between ba-PWV and age, VFV, fasting blood glucose,SBP and DBP. In the female group, a positive correlation was found between ba-PWV and age, SFV, TG, BUN, SBP and DBP, while a negative correlation was observed for HDL-C and Apo A1. Conclusion There was gender differences in body fat distribution in middle-aged and aged healthy population. In the male group , age, VFV, SBP, and DBP were the only independent and significant risk factors for ba-PWV. In the female group , age, SBP and Apo A1 were the independent risk factors for ba-PWV.

In recent years,liver transplantation donor shortage as one of world medical problems is paid more attention by domestic and overseas scholars.In view of that,heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation emerges which transplants the whole or some parts of a donor liver outside the original liver position on the condition that some parts or the whole of the original liver were retained.As for the liver transplantation with poor conditions on portal vein,reconstruction of portal vein has become an aporia.Based on this,some scholars put forward the theory——arterialization of portal vein(PVA),namely a method to increase arterial blood supply or replace portal vein blood perfusion of liver by establishing some pathes among artery and portal vein or its branches.The research background and current situation of heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation with portal vein arterialization,the transplanting position of donor liver,vessel reconstruction,dynamics mechanism after reconstruction and liver regene-ration are summarized in this review.

Objective To summarize the features of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRi) of hepatic cystic echinococcosis, and investigate the key points of identification and diagnosis.Methods The clinical data of 58 patients with hepatic cystic echinococcosis who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from August 2011 to August 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients received plain and enhanced scan of CT and MRI.Hepatic cystic echinococcosis was divided into the 5 types according to the literatures, including unilocular echinococcasis in type Ⅰ, multivesicular hydatid cysts in type Ⅱ, anechoic content with detachment of laminated membrane from the cyst wall in type Ⅲ, calcification of lesions in type Ⅳ and mixed echinococcosis in type Ⅴ.Patients who were diagnosed as with definite or suspected hepatic cystic echinococcosis underwent surgery.The follow-up including observing the recurrence of hepatic cystic echinococcosis was performed by outpatient examination and telephone interview at postoperative month 3, 6, 12 for 1 year and then once every year up to August 2015, and was ended if there was no recurrence for more than 5 years.Results (1) The results of CT and MRI examinations: of the 58 patients, 54 received scan of CT and 21 received scan of MRI.Seventeen patients were detected in type Ⅰ with clear-boundary and low-density cystic lesions by CT examination;MRI examinations showed there were single or multiple, round or oval abnormal signal including low T1WI signal, high T2 WI signal and low T1 WI and T2WI signal of cyst wall.Thirteen patients were detected in type Ⅱ, CT examination showed the daughter cysts of multiple sizes were found in the mother cyst, arranged in honeycomb or wheel shape;MRI examination showed there were lower T1 WI signal in the daughter cyst and higher T2 WI signal in the daughter cyst compared with signal in the mother cyst, and low signal in the cyst wall of the daughter cyst and mother cyst.Six patients were detected in type Ⅲ with capsule in capsule sign and water snake sign by CT examination and ribbon sign by MRI examination.Thirteen patients were detected in type Ⅳ, CT examination showed there were irregular high-density calcified shadow with the performances for return sample or sample volume skins changes.Nine patients in type Ⅴ had more than 2 kinds of lesions.(2) Diagnosis: 4 patients were misdiagnosed by CT examination including 3 with preoperative diagnosis of hepatic cyst and 1 with preoperative diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma of liver, with an accurate rate of diagnosis of 92.6％ (50/54).Two patients with preoperative diagnosis of hepatic cystic adenocarcinoma were misdiagnosed by MRI examination, with an accurate rate of diagnosis of 90.5％ (19/21).(3) Treatment and follow-up: 58 patients underwent surgery, including 40 undergoing internal capsule removal with external capsule suturing (31 with open operation and 9 with laparoscopic operation), 10 undergoing partial hepatectomy and 8 undergoing external capsule enucleation.Of 58 patients, 3 were complicated with effusion of residual cavity, 2 with unclosed external capsule, 1 with bile leakage and then was cured after 4-8 week drainage.Fifty patients were followed up for 12.0-48.0 months with a median time of 27.1 months and a follow-up rate of 86.2％ (50/58).During the follow-up, 1 patient undergoing internal capsule removal had recurrence at postoperative month 8 and was cured by CT-guided interventional therapy using absolute alcohol, and other patients had no recurrence.Conclusions There was a higher accuracy in CT and MRI examinations for hepatic cystic echinococcosis.Honeycomb and wheel shapes are characteristic findings of hepatic cystic echinococcosis in type Ⅱ.The characteristic performances of CT examination for hepatic cystic echinococcosis in type Ⅲ are capsule in capsuleand water snake signs, and characteristic performances of MRI examination is ribbon sign.The ring-like enhancement of edge by MRI examination is an essential of identification and diagnosis between hepatic cystic echinococcosis and hepatic cyst, and irregular calcification is a differential point between hepatic echinococcosis and hepatic tumor.

Objective To summarize the features of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and investigate the key points of diagnosis and identification.Methods The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted.The clinical data of 21 patients with AIP who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University between February 2012 and February 2015 were collected.All the patients underwent plain and enhanced scans of CT and MRI,and magnetic resonanced cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP),and then received hormone therapy.Eleven patients with pancreatic cancer and 11 normal subjects who were diagnosed by MRI in the same period were selected,and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was calculated and compared.Observation indicators:(1) situation of imaging examination:① pancreatic manifestations:density,signal,atrophy,calcification and enlargement of pancreas,change of pancreatic duct,② manifestations out of pancreas:changes of biliary tract system and kidney,③ diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and ADC:comparisons of ADC among AIP,pancreatic cancer and normal pancreas;(2) diagnosis;(3) treatment and follow-up.The follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the clinical symptoms and signs up to February 2016.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (-x)-± s.Comparisons among groups were done using one-way ANOVA.Pairwise comparison was analyzed by Dunnett'T3 test.Results (1) Situation of imaging examination:Of 21 patients,17 received scan of CT and 11 received scan of MRI (7 combined with scan of CT).① Pancreatic manifestations:14 patients had diffuse enlargement of pancreas,with full edge and “sausage-like” change.Plain scan of CT showed uniform isodense shadow,and enhanced scan showed that reduced enhancement in arterial phase and gradually homogenous enhancement in portal vein phase and lag phase with no enhancement in edge of pancreas.Plain scan of MRI showed lesions were manifested as slight hypointensity on T1 weighted imaging (T1WI),slight hyperintensity on T2WI and hyperintensity on DWI.Enhanced scan of MRI showed delayed enhancement,edge of lesions was manifested as slight hypointensity on T1WI and T2WI,without enhancement.Atrophy and calcification of pancreas:3 patients had atrophy of pancreatic parenchyma in which scattered calcification were seen.Enlargement of pancreas:4 patients had localized enlargement of pancreas showing “false tumor-like” change,including 2 with localized enlargement in head of pancreas.Change of pancreatic duct:MRCP showed that diffuse stenosis,local stenosis and local dilatation of pancreatic ducts were respectively detected in 4,3 and 1 patients.② Manifestations out of pancreas:11 patients had changes of biliary tract system,showing intrahepatic bile duct and common bile duct dilation,partial stenosis and extensive bile duct wall thickening.Enhanced scan of MRI showed there was obvious enhancement of bile duct wall.MRCP of 4 patients showed that the beak-like stenosis was seen in the distal common bile duct.Three patients had kidney changes,enhanced scan of CT showed that kidney demonstrated patch-shape hypodense shadow in arterial phase and homogenous enhancement of patch-shape hypodense shadow in lag phase,and plain scan of MRI showed that kidney lesions demonstrated equal signal on T1WI fat suppression (FS) and patch-shape low signal on T2WI FS.Lesions had gradually homogenous enhancement in substance phase and lag phase.③ DWI and ADC:lesions in patients with AIP and pancreatic cancer demonstrated high signal on DWI (b =1 000 s/mm2) compared with adjacent tissues (no involvement in pancreas or normal pancreatic parenchyma),ADC of pancreas in patients with AIP,with pancreatic cancer and with normal population was (0.001 30 ± 0.000 35)mm2/s,(0.000 80 ± 0.000 14) mm2/s and (0.001 60-± 0.000 24) mm2/s,respectively,with a statistically significant difference (F =30.409,P ＜ 0.05).There were statistically significant differences between patients with pancreatic cancer and patients with AIP or normal population (P ＜ 0.05) and no statistically significant difference between patients with AIP and with normal population (P ＞ 0.05).(2) Diagnosis:11 patients were diagnosed by CT examination,with a diagnostic accuracy of 11/17.Eight patients were diagnosed by MRI examination,with a diagnostic accuracy of 8/11.One patient was misdiagnosed as cancer of pancreatic head by CT and MRI examinations,and 1 was misdiagnosed as cancer in the distal common bile duct.(3) Treatment and follow-up:21 patients underwent regular hormone therapy,and 40 mg prednisolone was given orally a daily for 3-4 weeks and then gradually reduced to 5 mg up to complete relief of the symptoms.All the 21 patients were followed up for 12-45 months.Of 17 patients with abdominal pain and distension,symptoms of 7 patients disappeared and symptoms of 10 patients decreased or occasionally occurred.Of 10 patients associated with jaundice,symptoms of 7 and 2 patients disappeared and decreased,respectively,and symptoms of 1 patient subsided.Conclusion CT and MRI examinations of pancreas demonstrate “sausage-like” and “false tumor-like” changes,the non-neoplastic bile and pancreatic duct stenosis combined with IgG4 related diseases in other organs is an important imaging evidence for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of AIP.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of spraying mannatide and 5-fluorouracil in anocelia during sur-gery of lung cancer based on the adjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS:Totally 114 patients with lung cancer radical surgery were randomly divided into observation group(59 cases)and control group(55 cases). There were spraying mannatide(40-80 mg)and 5-fluorouracil(500 mg)in the observation group;and nothing drugs were sprayed in control group. The patients higher than phaseⅡ were treated by adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery for continuous 2 cycles,21 d as a cycle. The clinical data was compared, including amount of bleeding and drainage,hospital stay,complications,toxicity,KPS score,body weight changes,immune func-tion,survival rate and recurrence rates between 2 groups. RESULTS:There were no significant differences among the amount of bleeding and drainage,hospital stay and complications in the 2 groups (P>0.05). The nausea,vomiting,leucopenia,the KPS score,improvement of total effective rate,and improvement rate of body mass,immune function,survival rate in 1 and 2 year (s),recurrence rate and time within 2 years in observation group were significantly better than control group,with significant dif-ferences(P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Spraying mannatide and 5-fluorouracil can reduce the toxicity in anocelia during surgery of lung cancer based on the adjuvant chemotherapy,improve the immune function and survival rate,reduce recurrence rate and prolong the recurrence time.
