Objective To evaluate the treatment of in-stent restenosis with rotational atherectomy and balloon angioplasty. Methods The rotational atherectomy and 4~6 atm low pressure balloon angioplasty was performed in 3 patients with in-stent restenosis and follow up after treatment. Results All cases were succeeded. The bradycardia occurred in one patient was quickly disappeared without treatment, two other patients were found no effect on heart rate, hemodynamic performance, global LV function, or regional wall motion. No complications, angina, death or other coronary event occurred during the follow up for 6~12 months. Two of them was performed coronary angiography after 6 months and showed the diameter of target vessel was less than 30% as compared with that on coronary angiography which performed immedately after operation. Conclusion The management of in-stent restenosis in target vessels using a combination of rotational atherectomy and balloon angioplasty is safe and efficient.

The article focuses on diagnostic criteria and diagnostic accuracy of the various imaging methods by lymph node metastasis in esophageal carcinoma at present, and compares accuracy of the various imaging methods. In general, the diagnostic accuracy of CT is lower, the diagnostic accuracy of uhrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide-enhanced MR imaging is higher. Each imaging method has the lower accuracy for the diagnosis of smaller lymph node metastasis. Diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic ultrasonography is higher in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymph node metastasis. Sensitivity of PET/CT is higher for the diagnosis of distant lymph node metastasis.

Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment methods for malignant tumors, which can cause the radiation damage to normal tissues. Radiation-induced skin injury (RISI) is one of the main adverse reactions caused by radiotherapy. The main clinical manifestations of RISI are dermatitis, ulcer, erosion and necrosis, which seriously affect the quality of life and treatment effect of tumor radiotherapy patients, and even affect the overall survival of patients. The pathological mechanism of RISI is still unclear. Some studies have shown that inflammation and oxidative stress are the main causes of RISI. RISI can be divided into acute and chronic RISI according to the different onset time, and different treatment strategies can be formulated according to the severity of the injury. In this article, clinical manifestations, classification, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of RISI are comprehensively summarized.
