OBJECTIVE To explore the causes, predilection sites and treatment of nasal sinus mucoceles after hypophysectomy.METHODS The clinical data of 7 cases with nasal sinus mucoceles after hypophysectomy diagnosed and treated in our Department from Jan.1998 to Aug.2007 were retrospectively studied.RESULTS The mucoceles were located at ethmoid sinus in 2 cases,frontal sinus in 2 cases,frontal and ethmoid sinuses in 3 cases.All of the 7 cases underwent mucocelectomy under nasal endoscope or a combined endoscopic intranasal and extra-nasal approach.No recurrence was found after follow up for 1 to 3 years.CONCLUSION The causes of nasal sinus mucoceles after hypophysectomy are the change of the anatomic structure of nasal cavity after surgery.The stenosis,adhesion of middle nasal meatus or obstruction of the sinus ostium are found in all the patients.Intranasal endoscopic surgery or combined with extra-nasal approach is the first choice for nasal sinus mucoceles.

Objective To investigate the early postoperative rehabilitation condition of patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and analyze its correlation with the life style.Methods A retrospective analysis for 164 cases of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy with complete follow-up data were carried out.Using modified MacNab criteria for evaluation of postoperative recovery.The clinical efficacy was evaluated 3 months after operation,and the patients were divided into satisfactory group (excellent/good) and unsatisfactory group (fair/poor).The influencing factors included general information and the lifestyle such as smoking,drinking,sleep time,the height of the pillow,working time and frequency of physical exercise.The chi-square test and Logistic multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the effects of lifestyle on early postoperative rehabilitation patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.Results Postoperative efficacy satisfaction of patients evaluated by modified MacNab standard was 88.4％ in 3 months.There were differences in age(x2 =5.819),smoking(x2 =5.074) and frequence of physical exercise(x2 =4.430),and the differences were statistically significant (all P＜ 0.05).Logistic analysis showed that age more than 50 years old(OR=3.913,95％ CI =1.321-11.594,P=0.014),smoking(OR=3.217,95％ CI =1.126-9.195,P =0.029) and frequence of physical exercise less than or equal to 3 times a week (OR=3.906,95％ CI =1.026-14.869,P=0.046) were the risk factors affecting the satisfaction of clinical curative effect of early postoperative cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.Conclusion Age,smoking and physical exercise are related to early postoperative rehabilitation of patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy,and then more than 50 years old,smoking and exercise less than 3 times a week have adverse effects on the early postoperative rehabilitation.

Noninfectious diarrhea is a kind of digestive disease caused by many factors and the main clinical features are increased frequency of defecation and change of character of stool,most of the patients have intestinal microecological imbalance. Improving the intestinal microecological balance is very important in the treatment of noninfectious diarrhea. Microbial ecological agent(MEA)has definite efficacy for the treatment of noninfectious diarrhea,and gradually becomes the commonly used drug for noninfectious diarrhea in clinical practice. This article reviewed the use of MEA in the treatment of noninfectious diarrhea.

BACKGROUND: Theoretically, a novel single-sided groove target release biodegradable stent can avoid drug-induced inflammation of the local vessel wall, reduce drug dose, decrease the likelihood of thrombosis, and relieve stenosis.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of the novel single-sided groove target release biodegradable stent on intimal hyperplasia in a healthy porcine coronary artery model.METHODS: Eighteen healthy pigs were randomly divided into three groups, bare metal stent group, Firebird metal stent group and Firehawk stent group, which were implanted with L605 cobalt chromium alloy bare metal stents and L605 cobalt chromium alloy non-biodegradable rapamycin-eluting stent and L605 cobalt chromium alloy biodegradable rapamycin-eluting stent, respectively. Two same stents were implanted into the left anterior descending artery and the right coronary artery of each pig, respectively. After 1 and 3 months of follow-up, coronary angiography was performed,and the pigs were killed to take coronary artery samples for detection of intima hyperplasia.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 1 and 3 months after stent implantation, no stenosis, thrombosis and aneurysm occurred in the three groups shown by the coronary angiography; the lumen loss was significantly lower in the Firebird metal stent group and Firehawk stent group than the bare metal stent group (P < 0.05), while there was no difference between the Firebird metal stent group and Firehawk stent group. Histopatologically, there was no coronary arterial tissue necrosis or luminal thrombosis in the three groups. Compared with the bare metal stent group, at 1 and 3 months after stent implantation, the neointimal area and the percentage of stenosis were significantly lower in the Firebird metal stent group and Firehawk stent group (P < 0.05), while the residual lumen area and internal elastic lamina area were significantly higher (P < 0.05). Additionally, there was no significant difference between the Firebird metal stent group and Firehawk stent group. Overall, the Firehawk stent that achieves the same clinical efficacy as the non-biodegradable rapamycin-eluting stent effectively inhibits intimal hyperplasia, and prevents stent restenosis after stent implantation.However, future investigations on the long-term effect are warranted.

Results: 18F-FDG PETmyocardial scintigraphy and coronary artery CTA combination in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease, sensitivity and specificity of 100%and 96%. Conclusion: 18F-FDG PET data and coronary artery CTA precision data fusion, the fusion image is accurate, can not only provide clinicians reflect coronary artery anatomy indicators, can also provide reflect myocardial pathological physiology and metabolism index, to verify and supplement each other between the indicators.

Objective To explore the application value of the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in detection of peripheral zone of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE).Methods Twenty patients with HAE underwent abdominal plain scan,DWI and dynamic enhanced MRI.The ADC values and enhanced ratio of the central necrosis,solid component,peripheral zone and normal liver parenchyma were measured at a workstation,and further were analyzed and compared.Results 32 lesions were detected in 20 patients with HAE.Two groups were divided according to the lesion with central necrosis (group A)or not (group B).In group A, the ADC values of the solid part and normal liver parenchyma were (1.52±0.30)×10 -3 mm2/s and (1.22±0.30)×10 -3 mm2/s. Meanwhile,in group B those were (1.50±0.25)×10-3 mm2/s and (1.03±0.28)×10-3 mm2/s,exhibiting no statistical differences between the two groups.In group A and B,the ADC values of the peripheral zone of lesion were 1.34(1.10,1.61)×10 -3 mm2/s and 0.96 (0.86,1.22)×10 -3 mm2/s,exhibiting statistical differences (Z =2.867,P =0.004);meanwhile,the enhanced ratio were 1.70± 0.36 and 1.58±0.30,exhibiting no statistical difference.No correlation between ADC values and enhanced ratio was found in the peripheral zone.Conclusion DWI at 3.0T can display visually the HAE,and the ADC value may reflect the DWI features of periph-eral zone.The ADC values in combination with enhanced ratio may help for the diagnosis.
