Objective To explore the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonic intravenous imaging and cholangiography in the diagnosis of malignant jaundice obstructive. Methods Forty three patients who were diagnosed with malignant obstructive jaundice by contrast-enhanced computed tomography and contrast-enhanced computed magnetic resonance imaging were enrolled in this study. All of them underwent conventional ultrasound, IV-CEUS and IC-CEUS. According to the results of operation, the diagnosis accuracies were compared among conventional ultrasound, IV-CEUS, IC-CEUS and IV- CEUS combined with IC-CEUS. Results Diagnostic accuracy by the conventional ultrasound , IV-CEUS , IC-CEUS and IV- CEUS combined with IC-CEUS were 72.1%(31/43), 83.7%(36/43), 81.4%(35/43) and 93.0%(40/43), respectively. IV- CEUS combined with IC-CEUS was superior to the conventional ultrasound (P = 0.021). There were no significant differences when the conventional ultrasound was compared with IV-CEUS or IC-CEUS alone (P = 0.194 and 0.307). Conclusions Preoperative evaluation by IV- CEUS combined with IC-CEUS can elaborate the intra-cavitary and extra-cavitary changes of malignant obstructive jaundice. The diagnostic accuracy rate could be effectively improved by IV-CEUS combined with IC-CEUS, which can bring favorable clinical benefit.

Objective To investigate the changes of cardiac structure and function in patients with hepatolenticular degeneration (HLD).Methods From March 2010 to February 2011,90 HLD patients who did not receive formal treatment (observation group) and 30 healthy people (control group) were collected and analyzed with color Doppler echocardiography in the Institute of Neurology,Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Based on the clinical manifestations,cases were divided into hepatic type group (n =31),brain type group (n =42) and brain-visceral type group (n =17).According to the Child-Pugh classification,patients were divided into Child A group (n =71),Child B group (n =10) and Child C group (n =9).Results (1) The left atrial diameter ((28.00 ± 3.11),(29.62 ± 3.44) mm) and left ventricular diameter ((45.69 ± 3.75),(47.10-± 4.73) mm) of HLD patients in brain-visceral type group and hepatic type group were larger than that of the control group ((24.86 ± 2.63),(41.93 ±3.56) mm;t =3.143,4.761,P=0.018,0.000;t=3.764,5.167,P=0.018,0.000).The left atrial diameter and left ventricular diameter of hepatic type group were significantly larger than the brain type group (26.06 ± 3.68,43.34 ± 3.88;t =3.557,P =0.000;t =3.751,P =0.001).The value of E/A in the hepatic type group (1.57 ± 0.37) was significantly lower than the control group (1.93 ± 0.20;t =-0.352,P =0.006).(2) The left atrial diameter ((31.29 ± 1.70),(34.67 ± 1.97) mm) and left ventricular diameter ((48.29 ± 2.81),(53.67 ± 2.67) mm) of Child B and C groups were significantly larger than the control group ((24.86 ± 2.63),(41.93 ± 3.56) rm;t =6.429,9.810,P =0.000,0.000;t =6.357,10.738,P =0.000,0.000),and the Child A group ((26.42 ± 3.05),(43.89 ± 3.76) rm;t=4.871,8.252,P=0.000,0.000;t =4.399,8.780,P=0.003,0.000).The value of E/A of Child B and C groups (1.58 ± 0.32,1.26 ± 0.39) was lower than that of the control group (t =-0.347,0.662,P=0.020,0.000);At the same time,the value of E/A of Child C group was significantly lower than that of Child A group (1.80 ± 0.33;t =-0.530,P =0.000).Conclusions The HLD patients may have cardiac structural and functional changes,mainly manifested as left atrial and left ventricular enlargement and cardiac diastolic dysfunction,whereas a serious impact has not yet been found in systolic function.And the changes of cardiac structure and function were related to the degree of liver cirrhosis in patients with HLD.

Objective To investigate the clinical safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the treatment of superficial lesions of gastric mucosa, and to analyze the related factors and management of complications of ESD treatment. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 116 patients with superficial lesions of gastric mucosa undergoing ESD, evaluated the efficacy of ESD, observed the appearance and treatment of complications of ESD, and analyzed the factors influencing intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results The ESD was successfully completed in all cases, with the en bloc resection rate being 99.1% (115/116) and the complete cure rate being 95.7% (111/116). The average tumor size was (25.0 ± 11.6) mm, and the average operation time was (56.6 ± 20.5) min. The incidence rates of acute slight bleeding during operation and delayed bleeding were 3.4% (4/116) and 0.9% (1/116), respectively, without acute hemorrhage; 5 cases of bleeding were successfully treated by coagulation hemostasis and hemoclip. Perforation occured in 3 cases (2.6%) and was closed by hemoclip during operation; all cases of perforation had no pneumoperitoneum and were treated successfully by conservative method. Review at 2 months after ESD showed that the ulcer healing rate was 100%. The average follow-up time was (20.3 ± 5.1) months. Gastric angle χ2 = 7.937, P = 0. 01) and the postoperative pathological results as early carcinoma (χ2= 9.145, P=0. 005) were risk factors influencing the intraoperative bleeding and perforation complications. Conclusion ESD is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment, and has high operation success rate. The prevention of bleeding should be emphasized during and after ESD operation. Perforation complications also should be discovered during the early stage of operation, which can contribute to complete effective closure of perforation under endoscope inmost cases.

Objective: To explore the diagnosis and treatment of fourth branchial cleft deformity. Methods: The clinical data of a patient with bilateral fourth branchial cleft deformity in the neck were summarized, and the literature was reviewed Results: The patient was a 17-year-old male who had a painless lump in his neck for 10 years. During specialized examination, a lump approximately 4.0 cm × 3.0 cm in size could be palpated subcutaneously on the right side of the neck, with clear boundaries, a regular shape, a soft texture, and a wave-like sensation without obvious tenderness. A fistula with a size of approximately 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm could be observed on the left side of the neck, and yellow clear liquid could be seen flowing out of the fistula. The surrounding skin was locally red and swollen, and the surface temperature of the skin was elevated. Computed tomography examination demonstrated a circular cystic low-density shadow approximately 4.4 cm × 3.4 cm in size in the right supraclavicular and anterior cervical regions. A flocculent isodense image could be observed in the middle; moreover, nodular calcification could be observed at the edge, and the surrounding fat spaces were blurred. The enhanced scan showed mild enhancement of the cyst wall but no obvious enhancement of the contents. On the left side, a circular nodular shadow with a diameter of approximately 1.4 cm could be seen, with enhanced scanning and circular enhancement. The surrounding skin was thickened, and the subcutaneous fat gap was blurred. Multiple small lymph nodes could be observed on both sides of the neck, with the larger nodes having a short diameter of approximately 0.8 cm. The size and morphology of the thyroid gland were not significantly abnormal, and there was no obvious abnormal density shadow inside of the gland. Upon admission, the diagnosis was a fourth gill fissure cyst in the right neck and a fourth gill fissure fistula in the left neck. Under general anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia, right branchial cleft cyst resection and left branchial cleft fistula resection were performed. Postoperative pathological examination demonstrated a left branchial cleft fistula and a right branchial cleft cyst. The wound healed by first intention, and there was no recurrence after 6 months of follow-up. According to the literature, fourth branchial cleft deformity is a congenital developmental abnormality of the branchial apparatus, the incidence of which accounts for only 1% of all branchial cleft deformities; moreover, it often occurs on the left side. The anatomical position is often located in the cervical root and supraclavicular region, thus demonstrating cysts or sinuses adjacent to the thyroid gland. The diagnosis should be confirmed by anatomical location, imaging examination or laryngoscopy combined with postoperative pathological results and should be differentiated from cervical masses such as thyroglossal duct cysts and lymph node metastasis. The main treatment methods include surgical procedures and endoscopic cauterization of the internal fistula. The prognosis is generally good, and there is a risk of recurrence; however, cancer rarely occurs Conclusion Deformity of the fourth branchial fissure is very rare; thus, it should be identified early to avoid excessive and ineffective surgical drainage, reduce potential complications during resection and completely remove the lesion to prevent recurrence.

Objective To investigate the serum vitamin and trace element levels in children with short stature and their correlation with bone age. Methods Levels of serum VA and VD, and trace elements Ca, Fe, Zn, Mg, Cu, Pb and Cd were measured in 322 children who were referred for height consultation. Bone ages were evaluated and the correlation between bone age and serum vitamin and trace element levels was analyzed. Results The VA and VD deficiency rates of these 322 children were 22.05% and 34.16%, respectively. The deficiency rates of trace elements Ca, Fe and Zn were14.29%, 21.43% and 6.83%, respectively. The Pb excess rate was as high as 42.55%. The rates of bone age (BA) retardation in Group Ⅰ (short) and Group Ⅱ (slightly short) were 49.38% and 37.57%, respectively, which was significantly higher than that of Group Ⅲ (normal). The Ca level of BA retardation children was lower than that of the normal BA children in Group I. The VD level of BA retardation children was lower than that of the normal BA children in Group Ⅱ. BA was negatively correlated with VD, Ca, and Cu levels in children (r=-0.241; r=-0.136; r=-0.162), and positively correlated with Fe (r=0.286) . Conclusion There were significant abnormalities of vitamins and trace elements in short children. Children's bone age had a certain correlation with serum vitamin D, calcium, copper, and iron levels. Serum vitamin and trace element levels in children should be monitored to guide a reasonable diet to better promote child growth and development.
