Objective To evaluate endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for diagnosis of gastric stromal tumors (GST) by analyzing EUS features of tumors with different invasive capacities.Methods Clinical data of 34 patients with GST were analyzed retrospectively.The tumors were classified according to Fletcher′s GIST biological behavior ranking system and the corresponding EUS features were analyzed.Results The mean maximal diameter of GST in this cohort was 6.7cm.The echo heterogeneity, big tumors size, irregular shape and ulceration were more common in tumors of high risk (P<0.05).Conclusion Tumor size, shape, echo quality and ulceration detected by EUS are useful features for pretreatment evaluation of GST, and can guide the choice of following managements.

Objective To probe the surgical approach and effect on upper abdominal malignant tumor infiltrating pancrea. Methods Thirty patients with upper abdominal malignant tumor infiltrating pancreas or tissue around pancrea were treated by radical resection on primary tumor combined pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results Three patients died in 1 month after operation due to multiple organ failure. The patients with gallbladder cancer and metastatic lymph nodes fixed behind caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 35 months. The patients with gastric antrum carcinoma infiltrating caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 31 months. The patients with recurrent gastric cancer infiltrating caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 13 months. The patients with pancreatic and duodenal invasion by cancer of hepatic flexure of colon were followed up averaged 41 months. The patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma and metastatic lymph nodes fixed behind caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 11 months. Conclusion The patients with upper abdominal malignant tumor infiltrating pancreas should be operated by radical resection on primary tumor combined pancreaticoduodenectomy, which can increase the rate of tumor resection, and be expected to prolong the survival period.

Objective:To investigate the recent and long-term efficacy and safety of pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head carcinoma and periampullary carcinoma.Methods:82 cases of pancreatic cancer combined with periampullary carcinoma patients admit ted in our hospital from August 2009 to June 2013 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group With 41 patients in each group.The control group received palliative surgical treatment,while the observation group underwent pancreatoduodenectomy.The operation time,hospitalization time,intraoperative bleeding volume and the incidence of complications,1,2,3-year survival rate and the recurrence rate at 1 year after operation and tumor eradication rate were compared between twp groups.Results:The amount of bleeding,operation time of observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.01),no signif icant difference was found in the hospitalization time between the two groups(P＞0.05);the incidence of complications in the observation group (41.46％) was significantly higher than the control group (22.96％)(P=0.03);the 2-year and 3-year survival rate of observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05),the recurrence rate at 1 year after operation of observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P=0.04),the tumor eradication rate was significantly higher in the observation group than that of the control group (P=0.04).Conclusion:Though pancreaticoduodenectomy could prolong the operation time,increase the risk of bleeding and complications for pancreatic head carcinoma and periampullary carcinoma,but it could effectively reduce the possibility of recurrence after operation,significantly improve the long-term survival rate.

The incidence of adverse reaction was 9.3% and 30.4% respectively in two groups. Conclusion Injection azithromycin of new macrofides type is a kind of effective and safe anti-bacterial drug.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and pressure pump on perioperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with hip fracture and analyze the effect of LMWH on coagulation function. Methods Retrospective analysis of 95 cases hip fractures patients with clinical data, according to the preventive medication of DVT were divided into LMWH group of 42 cases and LMWH joint pressure pump group of 53 cases. The incidence rate of DVT and the degree of limb swelling after operation in two groups were observed. The differences of blood coagulation function indexes, blood rheology and hip function recovery were compared between the two groups. Results The the incidence rate of DVT in combination group was 1.89% (1 cases ), lower than LMWH group of 14.29% (6 cases )(χ2=5.278,P=0.022). After two weeks' treatment, the difference of anterior thigh circumference and calf circumference in combination group was less than LMWH group (P<0.05). The prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) in two groups post-treatment were lower than those pre-treatment, the D-dimer (D-D) was higher than that pre-treatment(P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between two groups. After 3 months' treatment, the Harris functional independence measure (FIM) in combination group was higher than that in LMWH group (P<0.05). Conclusion LMWH combined with pressure pump could significantly reduce the incidence of perioperative DVT in patients with hip fracture, improve the blood coagulation function and hip function.

Objective To analyse the clinical features,imaging characteristics diversity of deep cerebral veins thrombosis (DCVT).Methods From 2004 to 2013,6 patients diagnosed as DCVT were recorded and a retrospective review of the cases were undertaken for the purpose of this analysis.Results Among the 6 patients with DCVT,4 were male and 2 were female,aged from 28 to 69 years old.The disease duration of 4 cases ranged from 2 to 7 days,remnants were 20 days and 3 months respectively.The first symptoms of 4 cases were headache,1 was feeblemindedness,and the other was hemiplegia.The secondary symptoms were disturbance of consciousness,apathy,diplopia and non-infectious fever.Non-contrast computed tomography showed low signal in the bilateral thalamus in four patients,high signal in the transverse sinus and straight sinus in one patient and high signal in torcular in one patient.Abnormal signal was found in bilateral thalamus on magnetic resonance imaging in all patients and some of them had abnormal signal in the mesencephalon or basal ganglia.The patients were definitely diagnosed as DCVT by magnetic resonance venography (MRV) or digital subtraction angiography (DSA).Among them,2 patients were confirmed by brain biopsy.Four patients were followed up with good outcome and 2 were lost to follow-up.Conclusions The clinical manifestations of DCVT are not specific.For acute-onset DCVT patients,the first symptoms are always headache and vomiting,while the main symptoms are declined cognition and slow reaction for chronic-onset ones.Along with the progress,the main symptoms of DCVT are disturbance of consciousness,psychiatric symptoms and intracranial hypertension.Changes in the bilateral thalamus and basal ganglia are especially main characteristics which are easily misdiagnosed as brain tumor according to the images.DCVT can be definitely diagnosed by no signal of deep cerebral veins on MRV or DSA.

ObjetiveTo investigate the obstetrical and neonatal outcomes of pregnant women with hypothyroidism or subclinical hypothyroidism.MethodsOne hundred and sixty-eight pregnant women with clinical or subclinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy,including 9 controlled hypothyroidism,29 uncontrolled hypothyroidism and 130 subclinical hypothyroidism,were enrolled in this study.The general clinical information,obstetrical complications and neonatal outcomes of these pregnant women were compared with that of 180 healthy pregnant women who delivered during the same period.ResultsCompared with control group,there were no significant differences in the levels of serum free triiodothyronine( FT3 ),free thyroxine ( FT4 ),thyrotropin-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the controlled hypothyroidism group in the third trimester [(3.68 ±1.11 ) pmol/L vs (3.19 ±0.33) pmol/L,(15.48 ±4.14) pmoL/L vs (13.95 ± 1.68) pmol/L,1.87 mU/L vs 1.76 mU/L,P ＞0.05].However,in the second and third trimester,the levels of FT3,FT4 in the uncontrolled hypothyroidism group were lower,while the levels of TSH were higher than in control group [(2.71 ±0.80) pmol/L vs (3.14 ± 0.34) pmoL/L,(10.94 ± 2.68) pmol/L vs (14.25 ±2.01) pmol/L,5.62 mU/L vs 2.28 mU/L,( 2.34 ± 0.70 ) pmol/L vs ( 3.19 ± 0.33 ) pmol/L,( 10.16 ± 1.65 ) pmol/L vs (13.95 ± 1.68) pmoL/L,7.13 mU/L vs 1.76 mU/L,t =2.754～9.15,P ＜0.01],the levels of TSH in the subclinical hypothyroidism were higher than in control group ( t =18.28,18.57,P ＜0.01 ).There was no adverse perinatal outcome of neonate happened in controlled hypothyroidism group.In contrast,the incidences of adverse perinatal outcomes and complications in the uncontrolled hypothyroidism group were higher than that in the control group ( 17.2％ vs 2.8％,37.9％ vs 5.6％,x2 =11.47,28.97,P ＜0.01 ).Compared with that of control group,the incidences of adverse obstetrical outcomes in pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism were increased (40.0％ vs 5.6％,x2 =52.97,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsThe rate of adverse obstetrical outcomes and complications is increased in women with clinical or subclinical hypothyroidism.But the incidence of adverse outcomes would decrease if hypothyroidism is controlled by treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of decay receptor 3 (DcR3) and the eliniealpathological parameters in human gastric carcinoma. Methods The expression of DcR3 was examined by RT-PCR in a series of 41 human primary gastric carcinomas and 41cases of normal tissue adjacent to tumor. Multiple clinical pathological factors were analyzed according to their relation with the expression of DcR3. Results The positive rate of expression of DcR3 was 56 %(23/41) in human gastric carcinoma. The expression of DcR3 in gastric carcinoma was significantly higher than that in normal tissues adjacent tumor. The expression of DcR3 was significantly correlated with different degrees of differentiation, lymph node metastasis and TNM staging (P <0.10), but there was no significant difference in DcR3 and other clinical pathological features such as tumor position and invasion depth (P>0.10). The multiple linear regression equation was Y=0.432-0.208X1+0.098X2+0,086X3. Conclusion DcR3 expression can be highly found in gastric carcinoma. The abnormal expression of DcR3 may promote tumorigenesis and progression. DcR3 may be important in evaluating the tumor differentiation, infiltration depth, lymph node metastasis and TNM staging of human gastric carcinoma.

Objective To observe the effect of rosuvastatin calcium on lipid,vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),nitric oxide (NO),tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1 in hyperlipidemia patients.Methods One hundred and twenty-seven hyperlipidemia patients were randomly divided into two groups.Patients in the study group included 72 patients which were given rosuvastatin calcium 10 mg and enteric-coated aspirin 100 mg,orally,once a day for 8 weeks.The control group included 55 patients which were only given enteric-coated aspirin 100 mg,orally,once a day for 8 weeks.The change of lipid,VEGF,NO,TNF-α and IL-1 was observed before and after treatment.Results Before treatment,the level of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride (TG),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C),high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),VEGF,NO,TNF-α and IL-1 in two groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,the level of TC,TG,LDL-C,TNF-α and IL-1 in study group were significantly lower than those in control group [(4.410 ± 0.688) mmol/L vs.(6.491 ± 0.744) mmol/L,(1.762 ± 0.834) mmol/L vs.(2.632 ± 0.792) mmol/L,(2.256 ± 0.347) mmol/L vs.(4.544 ± 0.493) mmol/L,(41.14 ± 5.41) ng/L vs.(71.34 ± 6.76) ng/L,(0.22 ± 0.18) μ g/L vs.(0.42 ± 0.23) μ g/L] (P ＜ 0.05).The level of HDL-C,VEGF and NO in study group were significantly higer than those in control group [(1.807 ± 0.730) mmol/L vs.(1.432 ± 0.514) mmol/L,(564.86 ± 120.02) ng/L vs.(451.23 ± 100.72) ng/L,(42.39 ± 6.71) μ mol/L vs.(33.65 ± 6.24) μ mol/L](P＜ 0.05).No adverse reaction occurred in two groups.Conclusions Rosuvastatin calcium can obviously decrease the level of lipid,elevate the expression of VEGF and NO,and reduce the expression of TNF-α and IL-1.Rosuvastatin calcium can improve vascular endothelial function obviously in hyperlipidemia patients.
