Objective To investigate morbidity and analyze high risk factors of nosocomial infection in patients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in our ICU, in order to draft possible preventive strategies. Methods The clinical data of 56 OLT patients from Apr 2002 to Dec 2004 were analyzed. Results Significantly high APACHE Ⅱ scores and total plasma bilirubin, low platelet count were found in patients with nosocomial infection. The number of patients who had received an additional operation and broad-spectrum antibiotics before OLT were greater in nosocomial infection (NI) group than in none-nosocomial infection (NNI) group. Notably, the longer the broad-spectrum antibiotics used before OLT, the higher the morbidity rate of nosocomial infection. No significant difference was found in age, Child-Pugh grade and plasma albumin level between the two groups. In addition, APACHE Ⅱ scores and total bilirubin level were significantly higher in patients acquired enterococcal infection than in those infected with other pathogenic microorganisms. Conclusions High APACHE Ⅱ score, high total bilirubin level, low platelet count and length of use of broad-spectrum antibiotics before OLT were closely associated with nosocomial infection. As an important indicator, change in total bilirubin level not only represented the liver function ,but also was one of the high risk factors to nosocomial infection in patients undergoing OLT.

Objective To analyze pathologic features, therapeutic strategies and prognosis of patients with metastatic solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (m-SPTP). Methods Twenty five patients with m-SPTP undergoing radical resection between June 1985 and Dec 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to screen out risk factors of the prognosis of m-SPTP patients.Results Twenty-three postoperative patients were followed up until Dec 2007. The follow-up rate was 92% and the median follow up time was 78 months. The 5-year overall survival rate was 82%. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that five variables including age, tumor size, pathologic features, number of metastatic lesions and lymphatic metastasis were related to overall survival. Conclusions Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is low-grade malignant potential with a favorable prognosis, but not for the m-SPTP.Patients of ≥40 years old, tumor size (≥6 cm), pathologic features (including presence of areas with diffuse growth pattern and tumor necrosis), multiple metastatic lesions and lymphatic metastasis have poor prognosis.

Purpose To summarize the CT features and clinical characteristics of atypical primary fallopian tube cancer (PCFT) and ovarian cystadenocarcinoma (OCA), in order to improved the diagnosis. Materials and Methods CT findings and clinical data of 12 patients with atypical PCFT (PCFT group) and 20 patients with OCA (OCA group) were retrospectively studied. All patients were confirmed by pathology. Serum CA125 level, clinical characteristics and CT features of two groups were compared. Results Serum CA125 level of PCFT group and OCA group were (486.13±23.89) U/ml and (1606.94±62.86) U/ml, respectively. There was statistic difference between the two groups (P<0.01). There was significant differences on vaginal bleeding and vaginal discharge between the two groups (P<0.01). There were 4 cases with solid mass, 8 cases with cystic solid mass in PCFT group. And in OCA group, 16 cases with cystic solid mass and 4 cases with cystic mass were revealed, which showed statistic differences between the two groups (P<0.05). Some other findings also showed statistic differences including the diameter of ovarian vein on the affected side, the diameter of the round ligament of uterus on the affected side, tumor volume, and CT values of the mass in venous phase and delay phase (P<0.05 or P<0.01). However, there were no statistic significance in the size of metastatic lymph nodes, the mean CT value of the mass on plain scan and in the arterial phase (P>0.05). Conclusion Clinical findings of serum CA125 level, vaginal bleeding, and vaginal discharge combine with imaging findings of diameter of the ovarian vein in the affected side, diameter of ipsilateral round ligament of uterus, tumor volume, CT values of the mass in venous and delay phase would be the key points for differential diagnosis of PCFT and OCA.

Objective To evaluate endoscopic ultrasound for preoperative staging of ampullar tumors.Methods A total of 31 patients with ampullar tumors who underwent surgery from 2010 to 2015 were retrospectively reviewed.B-US,CT,MRCP and EUS were performed in all patients.The diagnostic rates of EUS and other imaging technology,and the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative staging and postoperative pathological staging were compared.Results Diagoses of 31 patients of ampullar tumors patients undergoing preoperative endoscopic ultrasonography assessment T staging were as the following:uT1,4 cases; uT2,15 cases; uT3,10 cases; uT4,2 cases.Compared with the postoperative pathological diagnosis,the T staging accuracy was 90.3％ (28/31),anong which 1 case was overestimated,2 cases were underestimated.The accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound in preoperative diagnosis of ampullar lesions was superior to other detection technology.Conclusion EUS is a valuable diagnostic tool for patients with suspected ampullar tumors.

Objective To analyze the clinical features,auxiliary examination,diagnosis and treatment of pituitary abscess.Methods A retrospective analysis was done in 7 cases of pituitary abscess.All cases’ final diagnose were confirmed by histopathological results.Results 1.Four cases were diagnosed as primary pituitary abscess,the others 3 cases as secondary pituitary abscess which was associated with pituitary adenoma,pituitary cyst,craniopharyngeal duct tumor respectively.2.Clinical features:Of 7 cases,fever was determined in 6 cases,visual disturbance or temporal hemianopia in 5 cases,headache associated with anorexia and nausea and vomitting in 4 cases.High white blood cell counts was present in 3 cases,high PRL levels in 4 cases.Three cases were associated with hypothyroidism,2 cases with hypoadrenocorticism.MR image showed isointense or hypointense signal on T1WI and isointense or hyperintense signal on T2WI in pituitary abscess.Postcontrast T1WI showed a ring-shaped enhancement.Two cases were diagnosed by MR images and clinical features before surgery,the others by surgical histopathology.3.Treatment:All cases were treated with surgery,followed by antibiotics therapy.After operation all symptoms were improved except for optic nerve function.Conclusion It is suggestive of pituitary abscess when any patient present firstly with fever,headache,visual or eyeshot disturbance,partial or whole hypopituitarism associated with saddle area mass.Earlier diagnosis,timely surgery and postoperative proper antibiotics therapy are the keys to the treatment of pituitary abscess.
