ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical value of transgastrie endoscopic surgery for the treatment of pancreatic abscess or pancreatic cyst and infection.MethodsThe clinical data of 22 patients with pancreatic abscess or pancreatic cyst and infection who underwent transgastric puncture and drainage or transgastric debridement under the guidance of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) at the Xinqiao Hospital of Third Military Medical University from July 2008 to August 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were comfirmed with bacteria infection after liquid aspiration culture. Patients with pancreatic abscess underwent endoscopic transgastric debridement,and for patients with pancreatic cyst and infection,10 F double pigtail stent and 8.5 F nasal bile duct were placed for drainage.ResultsThe results of liquid aspiration culture confirmed that 2 patients were infected by staphylococcus aureus,3 by proteus mirabilis,4 by pseudomonas aeruginosa,4 by klebsiella and 9 by escherichia coli bacilli.The double pigtail stent and nasal bile duct were installed under EUS (16 patients) or duodenoscope (6 patients).The lesions of 9 patients with pancreatic abscess were healed after endoscopic transgastric debridement with an average period of (6.5 + 1.8 )weeks,and the lesions of 13 patients with pancreatic cyst and infection were healed after transgastric puncture and drainage under the guidance of EUS with an average period of ( 8.3 ± 2.1 ) weeks.All patients were followed up for 2 years,and no recurrence of pancreatic abscess or pancreatic cyst was observed.ConclusionThe effect of transgastric endoscopic surgery for the treatment of pancreatic abscess or pancreatic cyst and infection is satisfactory.

Objective To explore the characteristics of oxygen uptake efficiency (OUES) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and analyze the relationship between OUE and severity of disease.Methods Pulmonary function test,polysomnogram and cardiopulmonary exercise testing were performed in 35 patients with OSAHS and 25 age-matched healthy volunteers.Their successive breathing respiratory exchange parameters were collected and analyzed.And t and x2 tests were used for 2 sample comparison.Correlation analysis was performed by Pearson correlation test.Results Significant differences in peak VO2 and peak VO2 ％ pred existed between OSAHS and normal control groups [(18±4) vs.(28 ±6) L/min,P＜0.01;(68±14) vs.(84±16) ％,P＜0.01].Compared with normal control group [(2.3 ±0.5) L · min-1 · lg-1 ; (36 ±4) ml/L; (36 ±4) ml/L],OUES,OUEP and OUE@AT of OSAHS group [(1.8 ± 0.4) L · min-1 · lg-1 ; (31 ± 5) ml/L; (30 ± 5) ml/L] were significantly lower (t =3.78-4.49,all P ＜0.01).And OUES,OUEP and OUE@AT in OSAHS patients were correlated (r =0.53-0.67,all P ＜0.01) positively with exercise tolerance (peak VO2％ pred) while negatively with apnea hypopnea index (AHI) (r=-0.67--0.54,all P ＜0.01).Conclusion The oxygen uptake efficiency of patients with OSAHS is significantly reduced compared to that of normal subjects.And it is correlated negatively with severity of disease.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the dimethicone powder in bowel preparation before capsule endoscopy (CE) and to observe its possible adverse effects. Methods A total of 60 patients receiv-ing CE were prospectively randomized into 2 groups according to bowel preparation method. In dimethicone powder group, patients were arranged to take dimethicone powder 30 rain before the examination on basis of macrogol electrolytes powder and in control group, patients had macrogol electrolytes powder only. Images of small intestine were equally divided into segments A, B and C according to intestinal transit time, and re-viewed by 2 experienced physicians independently. Intraluminal gas bubbles were graded and any possible adverse effects were monitored. Results Interobserver agreement was excellent (P < 0.05). In segments A and C, images from dimethicone powder group were less interfered by gas bubble than those from control group (P < 0. 05), but in segment B there was no difference between 2 groups (P > O. 05). No adverse effects were observed. Conclusion The dimethicone powder administration before capsule endoscopy im-proves the visualization of the intestinal mucosa.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of endoscopic resection and closure for non-intraluminal gastric stromal tumors originating from the muscularis propria layer.Methods Included in the study were 46 patients with gastric submucosal lesions originating from the muscularis propria layer, detected by gastroscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography.The lesions were removed by endoscopic resection and closure, which were further diagnosed as stromal tumor by means of pathologic and immunohistochemical examinations.The patients were followed up with endoscopy for evaluation of therapeutic effect and complications.Results All lesions were successfully removed, with serosa layer remained in 2 cases and full layer resection in other 44, which were all closed by endoscopic clips.Combination managements of acid suppression,gastrointestinal decompression and intravenous antibiotics were applied in all patients.Pathology reports confirmed complete resection of all lesions, with 0.5 to 3.7 cm in diameter.Normal diet was restored in 44 patients 48 ～ 72 h after the procedure.Pneumoperitoneum and focal peritonitis occurred in 2 cases, one of which underwent rupture and was clamped again.The 2 patients recovered after 10-12 days of conservative treatments.Follow-up endoscopy revealed white ulcerous scar in all cases.Conclusion Endoscopic resection and closure therapy is a safe, economic and less invasive treatment for non-intraluminal gastric stromal tumors originating from the muscularis propria layer.
