0. 05). There were no complications during EEVL. During a follow-up of 3 to 30 months in 76 patients with cirrhosis, the mortality was 14. 5% and 2 patients rebled in the near future. Conclusion It is concluded that EEVL is safe, effective, reliable and fast measure in treating esophageal varices bleeding.

Objective To report our experiences in difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods The clinical data of 201 cases of difficult LC performed from March 2006 to December 2008 were analyzed retrospectively,and the surgical operation approaches were summarized. The cases included 107 patients with pyknotic conglutination around the gallbladder or gallbladder triangle area,38 patients with gallbladder neck stone,11 patients with suppuration or gangrene of the gallbladder,18 patients with atrophy of the gallbladder,and 17 patients with operation history in the upper abdomen. Results The LC was completed in 193 of the cases,the other 8 cases were converted to open surgery. The causes for conversion to open surgery included intractable bleeding at the gallbladder triangle in 3 patients,the gallbladder being covered by stomach,colon and duodenum in 1,gallbladder gangrene in 1,bile leakage resulted from slightly lacerations of the posterior wall at the confluence of the gallbladder and bile duct in 2,and frozen likeness of the gallbladder triangle in 1. The complications of LC included intestinal obstruction (1 case),pulmonary infection with respiratory dysfunction (1 case),and postoperative bleeding (1 cases). No extrahepatic bile duct injury and death occurred in this series. Conclusions For difficult LC,we must abide by the rules as follows: to dissect as far as possible adjoin to the gallbladder;to discriminate the tissues or organs before cutting it;to execute LC in combination with mute and acuminate dissection and antegrade and retrograde approach for resection;to make pneumoperitoneum through a small incision for patients with history of operations in the upper abdomen. Only obey the laparoscopic surgical principle and use correct surgical approaches,can we reduce the incidence rates of complications and conversion to open surgery.

Objective To investigate whether the spleen diameter,serum albumin and periphefial blood cells might be as non-invasive predictive indicators for the presence of esophageal varices(EV)in patients with liver cirrhosis.The predictive values of these parameters to the large esophageal varices were evaluated.Methods OBe hundred and sixty-seven patients with liver cirrhosis underwent endoscopic examination.Among them,127 patients(mild in 41,medium in 38,severe in 48)were found with EV and 40 patients without(NEV).The diameters of portal vein and spleen vein,the sizes of spleen and the ratio of platelet count/spleen size were examined by Doppler ultrasound.The platelet count and the level of albumin were calculated.Results The average of age,diameter of portal vein and spleen vein,and sizes of spleen were higher in EV group than those in NEV group,while the platelet count,the level of albumin and the ratio of platelet count/spleen size in EV groups were lower than those in NEV group.Multifactor analysis revealed that the index related to serious EV were the blood platelet count(＜70×109/L),the ratio of platelet count/spleen size(＜1.0)and albumin level (＜35 g/L).Conclusions The degree of EV in patients with liver cirrhosis were paralleled with the degree of portal hypertension.The patients who present with platelet count＜70×109/L,or platelet count/spleen size＜1.0 or albumin＜35 g/L should be considered as EV,and endoscopic examination is needed.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and HBeAg status in HBV liver cirrhosis patients with different HBV DNA levels, Method Three hundred and thirty-seven patients with liver cirrhosis caused by chronic HBV infection were investigated. HBV DNA levels were detected by PCR, and HBV markers were detected by MEIA. The ratio of patients with HBeAg positive or negative in groups with different HBV DNA levels was compared, and the clinical characteristics in patients with different HBV DNA levels and HBeAg status were evaluated. Results The positive ratio of HBV DNA and HBeAg were 80.4% (271/337) and 31.5% (106/337). The negative ratio of HBeAg was 68.5% (231/337). The proportion of patients with Child-Pugh grade A, B or C and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in different groups of HBV DNA levels and in different HBeAg status showed no significant difference, but the ratio of HCC in patients with HBV DNA 3-4 lg copies/ml was higher than that in patients with HBV DNA <3 lg copies/ml (P=0.014) and ≥7 lg eopies/ml (P =0.009). No significant difference of HBV DNA levels was found in different age groups, but the negative ratio of HBeAg increased with the increasing of the age. Conclusions More than 80% of patients with liver cirrhosis caused by chronic HBV infection axe HBV DNA positive, and 2/3 of them are HBeAg negative. Suppressing HBV replication may improve the prognosis of HBV related cirrhosis and HCC.

Objective To investigate the value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with coronary heart disease. Methods We collected the data of 618 patients with coronary heart disease hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2011 to June 2012. All selected patients underwent coronary angiography and stent implantation, and were divided into two groups according to the average size of NLR. The relationship between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and coronary heart disease in-stent restenosis was investigated. Results There were statistically significant differences in the presence of diabetes, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, the percentage of neutrophils and lymphocytes in patients between two groups (P<0.05) . We found 13 patients (4.2%) and 32 patients (10.4%) with in-stent restenosis in the first group and the second group, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.01) . Conclusion Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio is correlated with ISR,and has clinical value in predicting ISR.

Objective　To study anticipated value of the retention rate of indocyanine green at 15 minutes after injection (ICGR15) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) on hepatic function reserve in patients with primary hepatic cancer (PHC). Methods　58 patients with PHC were divided into 3 groups according to the recovery after operation for PHC. Of them, 29 cases showed good recovery (group A), 18 mild liver dysfunction (group B) and 11 severe liver dysfunction (group C) respectively. ICGR 15, OGTT, routine liver function tests were performed in all 　patients preoperatively. Results　　ICGR15 in group C(24.17%±6.59%) obviously increased than that in group A(11.42%±3.91%,P<0.01) and in group B(16.28±6.07%, P<0.01). 　Blood glucose lever of 120 min after glucose loading test in group C (9.91 mmol/L±3.09 mmol/L)was significantly higher than that in group A(5.42 mmol/L±0.83 mmol/L, (P<0.01)and group B(6.68±1.61, P<0.01). 　The accuracy (81.0%,86.2%), positive (90.6%, 93.5%) 　and negative prediction value (72.5%, 74.4%) of OGTT and ICGR 15 were respectively significent greater than those of Pugh's scoring (P<0.01).Conclusions　ICGR15 and OGTT are worthwhile indicators to assess hepatic function reserve for patients with PHC. Combination of both ICGR15 and OGTT has higher predictive value on hepatic function reserve.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of small intestinal stromal tumors(SIST), and evaluate the diagnostic values of various imaging or endoscope examinations for SIST. Methods From July 2004 to June 2009, 74 patients whose operation or endoscopy biopsy tissues pathologically confirmed SIST were collected. The clinical data, imageology including enteroclysis, abdominal ultrasound, spiral computered tomography (CT) and the double-balloon enteroscopy report of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. According to biological behavior, the SIST was divided into four risk degree such as extremely low risk, low risk, moderate risk and high risk. The correlation between pathologic characters and spiral CT feature was analyzed. Results The most predilection site of SIST was jejunum in 43 patients (58.1 %); secondarily duodenum in 17 cases (23%); and 10 cases (13.5%) in ileum. About 94.6 percent of patients (70/74) showed clinical signs, the most common symptom was gastrointestinal bleeding in 46 cases (67. 2 % ), abdominal pain in 23 cases (31.1%). Of various photogrammetry examinations and endoscopy, spiral CT has the highest diagnosis rate and diagnosis coincidence rate, which was 100% and 72. 1% respectively. Among the 74 SIST lesions, 14 cases were extremely low biological risk (18. 9 % ), 21 at low risk (28.4 % ), 15 at moderate risk (20. 3%) and 24 at high risk (32.4%). Spiral CT is helpful for the SIST risk diagnosis. Conclusions The onset of SIST was concealed and early diagnosis was very difficult. Spinal CT which could help to predict the tumor's risk degree and prognosis was noninvasive, convenient and reliable. Therefore, it could be the first choice for SIST examination at present.
