Objective To analyze the clinical features and diagnostic experiences of retroperitoneal neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC).Methods Clinical data of primary retroperitoneal NEC from January 2000 to January 2012 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Results Five candidates were included 4 male and 1 female.The median age was 53 years old.3 cases initially suffered from abdominal pain and radiative back pain,2 cases were confirmed by normal physical check.The CT scan and B type ultrasound were performed among all patients,1 case was diagnosed as pancreas head neoplasm,1 case pancreas insulinoma,which was closely associated with other tissues and the intervational therapy was performed twice preoperatively.All 5 cases were selected surgery as the main treatment,2 cases performed radical tumor resection,3 cases received bypass operation.2 cases were 3 years survival.Conclusion Retroperitoneal NEC is a rare carcinoma,characterized by seriously invasion and high malignant degree.Surgery still remains the mainstay of selections,early diagnosis can significantly improve NEC patients’ overall survival rate.But the early diagnosis rate of this rare kind of patients still need to be improved.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects and complications in treating colonic polyps between endoscopic submucosal dissection and laparoscopy.Methods 69 colonic polyps patients diagnosed by colonoscopy with the basal body diameter of the colonic polyp >2.0 cm were enrolled in this study. All the patients were divided into study group (n = 41) and control group (n = 28) according to patients' decision, and then treated with ESD and laparoscopic surgery separately. After treatment, all the patients were followed up and repeated colonoscopy after 6 months. Clinical data were recorded and analyzed at the end of the research.Results Patients were successfully operated in both groups. 1 case in each group was diagnosed of malignant tumor and needed further treatment. The average operation time in study group and the control group was (85.00± 36.50) min and (110.00 ± 45.70) min (P < 0.05), length of hospital stay of the two groups were (10.69 ± 3.09) d and (11.61 ± 6.41) d (P < 0.05), and average cost of hospitalization of the two groups were (15.7 ± 2.7) ten thousand RMB and (30.6 ± 5.9) ten thousand RMB (P < 0.05). Percentage of complications in the study group was 2.43% comparing to 14.29% of control group(P < 0.05). 1 case in the study group complicated with enteron hemorrhage. Complications in the control group was 2 cases of ileus, 1 case of infection, 1 case of intestinal fistula. No recurrence was found in the two groups after 6 months in the repeat colonoscopy.Conclusion Both of the two treatments are effective for patients with wide base colonic polyps, but malignant tumor must be cautioned when treating with wide base colonic polyps. Endoscopic submucosal dissection requires proficient skill while with less impairment and cost.

Central serous chorioretinopathy( CSC) is an important cause for central vision loss. It mostly occurs in young and middle-aged men. It is a condition characterized by a serous detachment of neurosensory retina at the posterior pole and leakage from the retinal pigment epithelium ( RPE ) . Most patients with acute CSC will resolve spontaneously. However, in cases of chronic CSC with persistent serous retinal detachment, patients might develop progressive vision loss. This article was made a brief review of the current treatment methods, including laser, photodynamic therapy ( PDT ) , intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy and the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists.

Objective To observe the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation on the recovery of knee joint function in old patients severe burned in lower extremity. Methods 49 patients severe burned in lower extremity were randomly divided into observation group (n=25) and control group (n=24). The control group accepted routine rehabilitation, while the observation group accepted comprehensive rehabilitation. They were assessed with the range of motion (ROM) of knee flexion/extension, 45 m-walking, stair activity, Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and muscle strength 3 months after rehabilitation. Results The active and passive ROM of knee, stair activity, FIM score and muscle strength improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive rehabilitation promotes the recovery of knee function of old patients with severe burn in lower extremity.
