Objective:To evaluate the mid-term clinical efficacy of drug-coated balloons (DCB)in the treatment of femoro-popliteal artery TASC Ⅱ C/D de novo stenosis and in-stent restenosis.Methods:A total of 126 patients with TASC Ⅱ C/D femoro-popliteal artery stenosis treated with DCB in Renji Hospital and Pudong New Area People's Hospital from December 2016 to August 2020 were retrospectively enrolled, including 74 cases of de novo stenosis (de novo group) and 52 cases of in-stent restenosis (ISR group). The clinical data and lesion characteristics were analyzed; the primary patency rate, primary-assisted patency rate, secondary patency rate, and the freedom from target lesion revascularization (f-TLR)rate were evaluated; the perioperative complications, mortality and amputation rate were compared between two groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the patency rate of target vessel lesions, and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the relative risk factors.Results:There were 6 patients died in each group during the followup period. The lesion length of the de novo and ISR groups were (21.25±12.64) cm and (34.71±12.02) cm, respectively( t=33.74, P<0.001). The popliteal artery involvement was 33.8% (25/74) in the de novo group and 15.4% (8/52) in the ISR group (χ 2=5.35, P=0.021). The operational success rate was 100.0% in both groups, and the perioperative complication rate was 6.8% (5/74) in the de novo group and 1.9% (1/52) in ISR group. The median follow-up time was 22 month and 17 months; the mean follow-up time were(19.78 ± 11.02) months and (20.02 ± 11.32) months in the de novo group and ISR group, respectively. The primary patency rates at 6, 12 and 24 months after intervention were 89.1%, 73.4%, 50.8% in the Denovo group, and 87.8%, 68.8%, 42.0% in the ISR group, respectively; the primary assisted patency rate was 90.7%, 78.4%, 62.8% in the de novo group, and 89.3%,77.1%, 62.8% in the ISR group, respectively; the secondary patency rate was 95.1%,95.1%, 88.7% in de novo group, and 94.9%, 88.9%, 84.3% in ISR group, respectively; the f-TLR rate was 97.3%, 88.6%, 79.2% in de novo group, and 90.0%, 77.7%, 74.7% in ISR group, respectively (all P>0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that P2 and P3 segment involvement of the popliteal artery were independent factors affecting the patency rate of target lesion. Conclusions:The mid-term clinical efficacy of DCB in the treatment of TASC Ⅱ C/D femoro-popliteal artery de novo stenosis and in-stent restenosis is satisfactory.

Acute gallstone pancreatitis (AGP) is a kind of acute pancreatitis caused by gallstones. The etiology of AGP is complex, and the anatomic basis and initiating factors have a synergistic effect on its pathogenesis, which needs to be studied jointly. The way of the confluence of pancreaticobiliary ducts, dilated main pancreatic duct, the relatively narrow opening of duodenal papilla and small stones or microlithiasis may be involved in the pathogenesis of AGP, in which small stones are the most important. Etiological diagnosis and clinical treatment of AGP should be carried out simultaneously. The timely selection of treatment methods for different causes can alleviate the patient's condition to the greatest extent and reduce the cost of treatment. At present, it is difficult to unify the prediction indexes of AGP. Meanwhile, the pathogenesis and related prophylaxis and treatment also need to be studied. In this paper, the anatomic basis, initiation factors, pathogenesis and self-defense of AGP were analyzed to provide a new perspective for its treatment.

【Objective】 To analyze the results, characteristics and clinical value of video urodynamic study (VUD) of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in young male. 【Methods】 A total of 106 young male LUTS patients (18-45 years old) who received VUD in our hospital during Jan.2016 and Sep.2021 were collected to analyze the clinical and imaging urodynamic characteristics. 【Results】 Of the 106 patients, 55 (52.44%) had neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD)with clear neurological etiology, and 51 (48%) had non-neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NNLUTD). In NLUTD patients, dysuria was the most common symptom (76.74%); lumbosacral lesions were the main cause (76.36%); imaging urodynamics indicated weakening of detrusor muscle in different degrees. In NNLUTD patients,the main symptoms were frequent urination (48.72%) and dysuria (48.72%); about 58.97% of patients had two or more LUTS, and the main diagnosis was detrusor underactivity (DU)(35.90%). 【Conclusion】 NLUTD in young male is characterized by varying degrees of detrusor muscle weakness, detrusor sphincter dyscoordination, and decreased bladder compliance. NNLUTD is mostly caused by detrusor overactivity (DO) and DU.
