Objective To study the correlation between prognosis and vertigo and status of the vestibule functions with the patients of the sudden deafness (SD).Methods For 161 patients of the SD, the parameters of the hearing before treatment, vertigo and vestibule functions, were analyzed to establish a statistic model by means of Logistic regression with single factor analysis of variance, Logistic regression analysis and Chi square test.Results The single factor analysis of variance and Chi square revealed statistical differences between prognosis of the SD and hearing before treatment(P0.05).Conclusion If the patients with SD had more severe hearing loss, the prognosis would be less successful. The normal or abnormal caloric tests had influence for the prognosis of the SD, but vertigo showed influence on prognosis only when caloric test was abnormal. The degree of hearing loss was not related to that of vertigo or vestibule functions while the sudden deafness accompanied with vertigo was not due to the damage of vestibular functions.

Objective To evaluate brush cytology under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for malignant biliary strictures, and to analyze the factors influencing the diagnosis yield.Methods Brush cytology was applied in 144 patients with suspected malignant biliary strictures at ERCP.Brushing in bile duct was performed for 10 times from 2004 to 2006, while at least 20 times of brushing and repeated manipulation were performed at biliary strictures from 2007 to 2009. Cytological samples were processed immediately after brushing and analyzed by the same pathologist. Efficacy of brush diagnosis was evaluated based on reference to histopathology after surgery and/or clinical diagnostic criteria. Results Malignant stricture was finally diagnosed in 96 patients, and benign diseases in other 48. Brush cytology was positive in 78 of 96 patients with malignant stricture ( sensitivity 81.3% ), and negative in all patients without malignancy ( specificity 100. 0% ). Overall accuracy of diagnosis was 87.5%. Positive rate of malignancy by brush between 2007 and 2009 was 87.7% (50/57), while that between 2004 and 2006 was 71.8%, which were significantly different ( P < 0. 05 ). The positive rate was not correlated with stricture location or tumor type. No major complications occurred, except for 4 moderate acute pancreatitis, 3 cholangiolitis and 2 biliary bleeding. Conclusion Brush cytology is of high sensitivity and specificity for malignant biliary stricture.Repeated brushing and manipulation can facilitate diagnosis yield.

Objective To explore the endoscopic features and careinoembryonic antigen (CEA) ex-pressions of colorectal serrated adenomas (SA). Methods From June 2005 to July 2008, 27 patients with colorectal polyps and 26 cases of advanced colorectal cancer (ACC) were enrolled in the study. The pit pat-tern of the suspected lesions were observed with 0. 4% indigo carmine sodium stain and classified according to Kudo classification. The polyps were removed by biopsy, high-frequency electrical excision or endoscopic mucosa resection and the samples of ACC were collected with biopsy forceps. All specimens underwent rou-tine pathological examination and CEA expression was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results There were 47 SAs and 27 other types of polyps in polyp group. Most SAs located in left-side colon and were char-acterized by the bulge semipedunculation. The diameters of 45 serrated adenomas ranged from 3 to 8ram, and the maximal diameter of other 2 were more than 10ram. The most common type of pit pattern in SA was mixed type Ⅱ and ⅢL, with type Ⅱ predominant in a certain percentage. Expression of CEA in SA glands was significantly higher than that in proliferative polyps (P < 0. O1). Candnsion SA is an unique type of colorectal adenoma, which is capable of expressing CEA, and displays malignant potential and deserves great attention.
