2.Imaging features of thirteen cases of coronary-to-bronchial artery micro-fistula and the related clinical analyses
Chinese Journal of Radiology 2015;(8):586-589
Objective To investigate imaging features and clinical characteristics of the small coronary-bronchial artery fistula (CBF). Methods By retrospective analysis of image data from May 2007 to November 2011 for coronary angiography in 30 284 patients without chronic lung or pulmonary vascular disease patients, 13 cases of small CBF (diameter of the end of fistula near coronary artery< 2 mm) were detected. Incidence of CBF was counted, its morphology was described, and its clinical features were preliminarily analyzed and summarized. Independent sample t test and χ2 test were used to compare diameters and incidences of CBF originatng from left and right coronary arteries. Results In this study primary CBF detection rate was 0.043%(13/30 284). The ends of CBFs near coronary arteries were slender and their diameter average was (1.57 ± 0.75) mm. In this study all of the CBF were from the right coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery, finding no cases starting from the left anterior descending coronary artery. There was no significant difference between incidence of CBFs originating from the right coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery coronary and the diameters of CBFs. In 13 cases of CBF, 9 cases of myocardial ischemic symptoms were caused by coronary artery stenosis, which was proven by angiography;Four cases without myocardial ischemic symptoms or with very atypical symptoms were finally diagnosed as cardiac neurosis. After branching, the CBF diameters of these coronary arteries were seen no evindently reduced, which suggested that the coronary bypass had less blood flow, and therefore had no significant hemodynamic significance. Conclusions Congenital CBF can exist in populations without chronic lung or pulmonary vascular disease. The main image features are that their diametes were small and all originate from the right coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery. The most fundamental clinical features are that there're no symptoms of myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery steal and no obviously hemodynamic significance. It is important to well recognize this type of CBF for enriching radiographic knowledge, identifying various anatomic variations, and carrying out clinical diagnosis and treatment.
3.In vivo imaging of lentigo with confocal laser scanning microscopy
Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2013;46(11):824-826
Objective To assess the microscopic features of lentigo by using in vivo confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).Methods This study included 30 patients clinically diagnosed with solar lentigo and 10 patients with lentigo simplex.Lentigo lesions and perilesional normal skin were examined by in vivo CLSM.Tissue specimens were also obtained from lesional and perilesional normal skin and subjected to routine histopathologic examination.Results The CLSM features of lentigo were mainly observed at the dermo-epidermal junction.In all of these cases of lentigo,there was an increase in the length and number of rete ridges,with a marked hyperpigmentation of the basal layer.Several distinct microscopic patterns were observed,such as extended,irregularly shaped papillary dermis surrounded by highly refractile cells (presumed to be basal keratinocytes).Histopathologically,there was an infiltrate of a small quantity of melanophages and lymphocytes in superficial dermis.Conclusion As far as lentigo lesions are concerned,CLSM images are consistent with histopathological findings.

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy and evaluate the health economics of early rehabilitation intervention applied to patients with cerebral hemorrhage in stroke unit. Methods A total of 131 cerebral hemorrhage patients were randomly assigned to the stroke unit group (n=62) and the control group (n=69). The patients in the stroke unit group received rehabilitation training at a very early stage, while there were no rehabilitation training program and no professional treatment team for patients in the control group. Results of the national institute health stroke scale (NIHSS), activities of daily living (ADL) Barthel index were compared between the two groups. Infection rate, mortality, cost of hospitalization and length of stay were also compared. Results There were better therapeutic effects as revealed by NIHSS (4.3±3.5 vs. 7. 9±5.0, t=-3. 211, P<0.05), ADL Barthel index score (85.9±29.6 vs. 67.1±37.1, t=3.194, P<0.05), lower incidence of infection in lung (8.06% vs. 15.94%, χ~2 =3.901, P<0.05) and in urinary tract (6.45% vs. 11.59%, χ~2 =4. 138, P<0. 05), lower mortality (4.84% vs. 7.25%, χ~2=4. 351, P< 0.05), lower cost of hospitalization[¥ (17506. 90±954.10 ) vs. ¥(21096.49±923.46), t=-20. 786, P<0.01)] and shorter length of stay[(20. 47±7. 03)d vs. (31. 42±8.14)d, t=-8.196, P< 0.01)] in the stroke unit group compared to the control group. Conclusions Early rehabilitation intervention by stroke unit is advantageous to patients with cerebral hemorrhage.
8.Relationship between recurrence of Barrett esophagus and Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy in the elderly
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2010;29(6):495-498
Objective To investigate the relationship between the recurrence of Barrett esophagus (BE) and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication therapy, according to endoscopic follow-up outcomes in the elderly patients with BE after endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC). Methods A total of 201 elderly patients were enrolled to be treated with APC, including 53 patients without Hp infection (control group) and 148 cases with Hp infection (infection group), then the infection group was randomly divided into two groups: infection group A (n=74) and infection group B (n=74). After APC, all patients were given acid suppression therapy with omeprazole infusion 40 mg twice daily for 7 days, then omeprazole capsules 20 mg twice a day orally, the overall time was 2months. The patients in infection group B received Hp eradication therapy with two of the following three kinds of antibiotics for 2 weeks: amoxicillin 500 mg twice a day, clarithromycin 500 mg twice a day and tinidazole 500 mg twice a day. All patients received reexamination of endoscopy and pathology, and underwent 24-hour esophageal pH test 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment.Results By APC treatment for an average of 2.4 times (1-3 times), 1 month after treatment, all BE epithelium disappeared and stratified squamous epithelium was repaired completely. Reflux esophagitis (RE) and BE in some cases were found in 3 groups 3 months after therapy. The relapse incidence of RE was significantly increased at 6 months after therapy [control group: 22.6%, infection group A:12.2o%and infection group B: 17. 6%, t = 2.21, 2.17 and 2.30,P<0. 05]. At 12 months after therapy, the relapse incidence of BE was significantly increased [control group: 22.6%, infection group A: 18.9% and infection group B: 23.0%, t=2.11, 2.19 and 2.32, P<0. 05]. All patients presented pathological gastro-esophageal reflux (DeMeester index>14.72) before treatment. At 1 month after therapy, all patients returned to normal DeMeester index[control group: 14.5, infection group A: 15.2 and infection group B: 12.0, t=2.09, 2.22 and 2.15, P<0. 05]. At 6 months after treatment, DeMeester index increased (t=2.29, 2.33 and 2.14, P<0.05). But there were no significant differences among 3 groups (P>0. 05). Conclusions The elderly BE patients with HP infection in gastric antrum can receive APC treatment plus Hp eradication treatment, but it has no significant effect on long-term prognosis for BE patients. APC treatment can completely remove BE epithelium, long-term acid suppression therapy may delay recurrence of BE.
