Objective To identify the necessity to carry out optimization procedure in routine digital radiography (DR) by evaluating changes of patient radiation dose and image waste ratio before and after optimization.Methods Two hundred patients with near-standard body build were enrolled in the study.Half of them undertook routine examination,and the others undertook the examination with bestlyoptimized protocol.The dose-area product (DAP) and entrance surface dose (ESD) were recorded.The image waste ratios in 2 groups were calculated and the reasons for image waste were analyzed.The radiation dose and image waste ratio before and after optimization were compared.Results The ESD,DAP and image waste ratio in bestly-optimized radiography were significantly lower than those in non-optimized radiography (z =9.31,16.22,P＜0.05; x2 =36.5,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Using the bestlyoptimized digital radiography,the patient radiation dose and image waste ratio are effectively reduced.

Objective To summarize the diagnosis and surgical treatment of mesenteric cyst in children.Methods The clinical records of mesenteric cyst cases from January 2011 to December 2015 were reviewed retrospectively.The diagnosis and treatment options were analyzed, and the prognosis of laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy was compared.Results The main clinical symptoms included abdominal mass, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension.Abdominal ultrasound and/or CT scan were the diagnostic tools in all cases.Traditional laparotomy was performed in 14 cases, while laparoscopy in 7 cases (1 case switched to laparotomy).2 cases had emergency surgery due to acute abdomen, laparotomy and laparoscopy in each case.Simple cyst resections were completed in 14 cases, of which 2 cases with a small amount of residual in the mesenteric root.Intestinal resection and anastomosis were required in other 7 cases.The average time of hospital stay for laparotomy group was 12 days, and 10.14 days for laparoscopy group.There was no significant difference.All patients were discharged without postoperative complications.With 1-4 years follow-up, there was no recurrence.Conclusion The operation for mesenteric cysts depends on the relationship between the cyst and the adjacent bowel or organs, and the overall outcome is favorable.The selective use of laparoscopy will benefit more children.

Objective To summarize the etiology,diagnosis and treatment of three cases of duodenal perforation. Methods The data of 3 cases of children with duodenal perforation in our hospital from September 14,2016 to June 20,2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The causes,clinical features and treatment of children's duodenal perforation were summarized. Results A total of 2 males and 1 females aged 2 years,3 years and 5 years were included in the 3 cases. All 3 cases had fever history of upper respiratory tract infection before onset. Acute abdominal pain occurred after oral administration of ibuprofen several times,and all the abdominal plain films prompted pneumoperitoneum. Three cases of perforation sites were duodenal anterior wall,diameter were 0. 5-1 cm. Two cases of small amount of pneumoperitoneum were explored and repaired the duodenal perforation by 3D laparoscopic,1 case underwent laparotomy to repair the duodenal perforation due to a large number of liquid pneumoperitoneum and severe shock. Repair of 3 cases were covered with omentum. Three cases were all cured without anastomotic fistula, ulcer, adhesive intestinal obstruction or other complications. Followed-up in the department of gastroenterology,3 cases had no Helico-bacter pylori infection. Conclusion Repeatedly oral administration of ibuprofen can cause duodenal perfora-tion in children in the short term. Once the digestive tract perforation confirmed,emergency surgical explora-tion is needed. Laparoscopic repair of duodenum perforation is safe and effective and may have a faster recov-ery. We can choose exploratory laparotomy if conditions are not allowed.
