Objective To study the characteristics and diagnosis of renal sinus lipomatosis (RSL) complicated with renal staghorn calculi, and report our preliminary experience on percutaneous nephrolithotripsy for the disease. Methods A total of 547 patients with complex renal calculi were admitted to our hospital from January 2005 to June 2007. In 2 of them, RSL complicated with renal staghorn calculi was diagnosed by B-ultrasonography, CT, and MRI. Both the patients were female, aged 42 and 82 years respectively. B-ultrasonography-guided percutaneous nephrolithotripsy was performed on the two patients without removing the kidneys.Results Totally, 7 ml and 5 ml of stones were removed respectively from the two patients by percutaneous nephrolithotripsy. No retained calculi were found by KUB performed one week postoperation. Biopsy of the submucosal fat obtained from the renal pelvis during the operation showed hyperplasia and fibrosis of fatty tissues and inflammatory effusion. The patients were followed up for half a year, during which no recurrence of renal calculi occurred, and no abnormal fatty tissues were found at the renal sinus or surrounding the kidney. Conclusions Imaging examination is valuable for the diagnosis of RSL. B-ultrasonography-guided percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is safe and effective for RSL complicated with renal calculi.

Objective To assess the assistance role of three-dimensional reconstruction of stag-horn calculi by 16-slice spiral CT to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Methods A total of 87 patients with 104 staghorn stones underwent 24 F-tract PCNL. 16-slice spiral CT scan and three-di-mensional (3D) reconstruction by volume rendering technique were carried out before PCNL for tract placement planning, the necessity for multiple tracts and stone burden. Tract placement, tract num-ber, operation time, bleeding requiring transfusion and volume of stone cleared were recorded. KUB was taken to explore residual calculi after operation and thus stone free rate was noted. Results In-traoperative tract placement was according to preoperative planning with 3D reconstruction of calculi. Forty-three calculi were cleared by multiple accesses, while multiple accesses were supposed necessary for 47 caculi. The stone free rate of one-session operation was 87.5%, and the last stone free rate af-ter second-look procedure was 91.7%. The stone burden of 3D reconstruction of CT (19.35 ±19.24 cm3) was significantly correlated with the mean volume of cleared calculi (16.34±13.79 cm3) in oper-ation (r=0. 993, P=0. 000). Conclusion The 3D reconstruction of spiral CT for staghorn calculi could show the precise construction of calculi, which could help to plan tract placement, evaluate the necessity of multiple tracts and stone burden.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of modified BI?RADS classification by using the coronal plane of automatic breast volume scaner. Methods The total of 201 BI?RADS 3~5 classification of breast masses were retrospectively analyzed. All masses underwent conventional ultrasound and ABVS examination. Using BI? RADS classification standard terms to describe various information of breast masses, and record the coronal image of the masses on the complete interface echo, convergence sign, angle, burr, which classified BI?RADS ultimately. Results The coronal plane of convergence sign, complete interface echo, angulation and burr were significantly different between benign and malignant tumors (P<0.0001). The sensitivity of ABVS convergent sign in diagnosing breast malignant tumors was 68.2%, specificity was 93.4% and accuracy was 82%. The conventional ultrasound combined with the coronal feature of ABVS modified by BI?RADS classification showed that 3 kinds of malignant rate reduced from 8.5%to 3.2%. The rate of malignant 4a decreased from 25.2%to 12.1%and the rate of malignant 5 increased from 94.2% to 98%. Conclusion The convergence sign of ABVS can be used as a significant independent predictor of breast malignant tumors;ultrasound combined with ABVS is helpful to improve the accuracy of ultrasound BI?RADS classification.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral erythromycin in the prevention and treatment of feeding intolerance in preterm infants. Methods The Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMBASE,CBMdise,VIP,WartFang and CNKl were searched up to the year of 2008.Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of erythmmycin for feeding intolerance in preterm infants were included.According to the dosage (low-dose,3-15 mg/kg and high dose,>15 mg/kg)and gestational age(≤32 weeks vs>32 weeks),all infants were divided into several subgroups.Meta-analysis was performed with the Cochrane Collaboration's software RevMan. Results Nine RCrs involving 542 premature infants were included.(1)In preventive studies,low-dose erythromycin could significantly decrease the duration of total parenteral nutrition compared with the high-dose erythmmycin (WMD=-2.99,95%CI:-3.99--1.98).(2)Intreatment studies,highdose erythromycin could significantly decrease the duration of total parenteral nutrition (WMD=-7.06.95%CI:-7.91--6.20,P<0.01)and hospital stay (WMD=-8.10,95%CI:-14.02--2.18,P=0.007)compared with the placebo when gestational age≤32 weeks. Erythromydn could decrease the incidence of iaundice(RR=0.36,95%CI:0.21-0.63,P=0.0003)which might be the effect of bigh-dose erytromycin. Conclusions Compared with placebo,oral erythromycin of different dosage might help to achieve full enteral feeding,shorten the duration of parenteral nutrition and hospital stay,and reduce the associated cholestasis jaundice of preterm infants with different gestational age respectively.
