Objective To evaluate the effect of biofeedback therapy for the treatment of myogenic fecal incontinence. MethodsA general assessment about anorectal function was made on 17 cases receiving biofeedback therapy including muscle power training,sensory training and coordination training. Results The clinical scores before and after biofeedback therapy were 1.66?0.23,3.80?0.42 respectively,with an effective rate of 82%. The anus maximum contracting pressure elevated,(73?20) mm Hg vs. (123?30) mm Hg; myoelectric amplitude increased,(122?32) ?V vs. (230?41) ?V;Contracting time prolonged,(4.1?2.0) s vs. (9.4?3.0) s; The sensory threshold was lowered,(50?12) ml vs. ( 20? 10) ml;The feel-contract time increased,(3.1?0.4) s vs. (1.2?0.3) s. Positive rectal contraction reflex was seen in 41% patients before therapy compared with 82% after therapy. Conclusions Biofeedback therapy increases contractility of sphincter,decreases threshold of rectal sensory,and is a therapy of choice for myogenic fecal incontinence.

Objective To evaluate the prevalence,anatomic features of right superior septal artery (RSSA) with 256-slice MSCT.Methods A retrospective analysis of coronary artery computed tomography angiography with 256-slice CT was performed in 1 646 consecutive patients.Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR),maximum intensity projection (MIP) images on coronal and sagittal planes,and three-dimensional volume rendering (VR) reconstruction images were obtained and used for the evaluation of the anatomic features of the RSSA.The images were transferred to EBW4.52 workstation to trace the vessel and to analyze the origin,diameter,and length of the RSSA.Student's t test was performed to compare the differences in the length and diameter of the RSSA between patients with different coronary artery distribution dominant types,different genders.Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the differences in the length and diameter of the RSSA among patients with and without coronary artery stenosis.Results The RSSA was present in 130 (7.9％) of 1 646 patients.The origin of RSSA was from the proximal portion of the right coronary artery in 104 patients,from the right sinus of valsalva in 26 patients.The artery co-existed with the conus artery in 22(16.9％) of 130 patients.The mean length of RSSA was (31.7±15.6) mm (range from 8.9 to 70.7 mm),and the mean diameter was (1.0±0.4) mm (range from 0.2 to 2.5 mm).The average length and diameter of RSSA in men were (33.5±15.7) and (1.0±0.4) mm,respectively; The average length and diameter of RSSA in women were (24.5 ± 13.0) and (0.9 ±0.4) mm,respectively.There was a significant difference in RSSA length between men and women (t=2.718,P=0.007),but there was no significant difference in the RSSA diameter between men and women (t=1.134,P=0.259).There was no significant differencein RSSA length and diameter between different coronary artery distribution dominant types (t=-0.219 and-0.080 respectively,P＞ 0.05).In the patients with left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA) stenosis,the mean length and diameter of RSSA were (38.9±17.9),(1.1 ±0.4) mm,respectively.In the patients without LAD and RCA stenosis,the mean length and diameter of RSSA were (28.9±14.4),(0.9± 0.4) mm,respectively.Patients with coronary artery stenosis tended to have longer RSSAs in comparison to those without coronary artery stenosis (P＜0.05).Conclusions RSSA variantions can evaluated with a cardiac 256-slice MSCT scan.The recognition of this vessel is useful for physians dealing with diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease.

Objective To determine the measurement consistency of diffusion coefficient D, perfusion fraction f and pseudodiffusion coefficient D*in rectal cancers based on different ROIs. Methods Forty-three patients with histologically proven rectal cancers were examined using echo-planar DW-MRI with eight b values (0 to 1 000 s/mm2). Intravoxel incoherent motion parameters were measured on intravoxel
incoherent motion map that contained the largest tumor cross-section, according to two distinct ROI protocols:freehand outline ROI and semi-automatic tumor center ROI. The two protocols were compared for differences in IVIM parameters and the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were also calculated. intra-and inter-observer variability using paired t test and Bland-Altman plot. Results The IVIM parameters(D, f and D*) obtained by ROIs for outlined and center analysis were (1.08 ± 0.24) × 10-3mm2/s, (0.16 ± 0.06), (26.59 ± 19.54) × 10-3mm2/s and (1.06 ± 0.27) × 10-3mm2/s, (0.17 ± 0.07), (30.79 ± 20.85) × 10-3mm2/s, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the means of the IVIM parameters (D, f, D*) calculated by the two methods (t=1.113,-0.259,-1.660;P=0.272, 0.797,0.104, respectively),and the relative ICC were 0.863, 0.469, 0.663, respectively. The intra-observer 95% limits of consistency of IVIM parameters were (-0.012—0.038) × 10-3mm2/s, (-0.003—0.007), (-0.923—1.166) × 10-3mm2/s with ROI outline tumor, respectively;(-0.024—0.044)×10-3mm2/s, (-0.005—0.015), (-1.670—4.195)×10-3mm2/s with center ROI, respectively. The inter-observer 95% limits of consistency of perfusion parameters were (-0.047—0.009) × 10-3mm2/s, (-0.015—0.009), (-7.206—3.190) × 10-3mm2/s with ROI outlined tumor, respectively;(-0.068—0.048) × 10-3mm2/s, (-0.005—0.041), (-17.657—0.779) × 10-3mm2/s with center ROI, respectively. Conclusions There was no statistically significant difference between the outlined ROI and tumor center ROI analysis of rectal cancers' IVIM parameters. The tumor analysis by outlined ROI protocol appropriately improves intra-and inter-observer consistency and can provide more reproducible and stable results.
