Objective Improve understanding the clinical features of bladder varices with portal hypertension. Methods A 63-year-old male manifested seven episodes of painless gross hematuria and had a 9-year history of liver cirrhosis. Physical examination was unremarkable. There was thrombocytopenia of 56 × 109/L. Ultrasound showed splenomegaly. Cystoscopy revealed a 3. 0 cm × 5.0 cm sized hemangiomatous on the left lateral and anterior wall of the bladder. Computed tomography angiography revealed the vesical varicose veins flowing into the inferior mesenteric vein and then to the splenic vein. Results The patient was diagnosed vesical varices, liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Performed perivesical devascularization and in ultrasound one month after the operation the variees disappears. Conclusion Vesical varices can occur in liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension patients without history of abdominal and pelvic operation, and can be treated by perivesical devascularization.

Objective To discuss the value of preoperative transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in surgery for giant pheochromocytoma. Methods During the period of Jan 2000 to July 2010,six patients with giant pheochromocytoma underwent preoperative TAE in Peking Union Medical College Hospital.The medical records were reviewed retrospectively. Results The lesions were all solitary giant pheochromocytoma.In four casesthe pheochromocytoma was located in the aderenal gland the remaining two cases were paraganglioma.The tumor size ranged from 7 cm to 16 cm.And CTA showed the masses were well vascularized and fed by diverse arteries.All six patients underwent preoperative TAE successfully and surgical removal was successfully performed within 24 hours after embolization.No major complications occurred.After surgery no patient suffered recurrence and clinical symptoms were significantly improved. Conclusions Preoperative TAE is safe and effective for giant pheochromocytoma.Preoperative pharmacological management,gastrointestinal preparation and surgical remoral performed within 24 hours after embolization markedly reduced the complications related to embolization.TAE can help achieve hemodynamic stability during operation and is very helpful to a complete resection of giant pheochromocytomas.

Objective To understand the nutrition status in elderly patients with hip fracture, and clarify its effects on postoperative functional recovery,complications and mortality based on literature analysis of the past 10 years. Methods PubMed,Medline,Embase Database,Wanfang Database,Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)and China Biology Medicine disc(CBMdisc)were searched,and relevant researches published from 1st January,2010 to 31th May,2019 were collected. Single rate Meta-analysis was used to integrate the prevalence and mortality of malnutrition. A qualitative systematic review was used to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and prognosis after surgery. Results A total of 11 articles was included,including 21791 patients. Meta-analysis showed that the mean prevalence of malnutrition during hospitalization in elderly patients with hip fracture was 46%(95%CI:45%-47%)using serum albumin(ALB),and was 17%(95%CI:12%-22%)assessing by the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA),and the risk of malnutrition prevalence was 42%(95%CI:45%-47%). The results of qualitative evaluation showed that compared with the well-nutrition group(Short-form MNA 12-14 points),the malnutrition risk group(Short-form MNA 8-11 points)had lower activity ability 4 months after the operation (OR=2.03,95%CI:1.24-3.31),and the MNA score decreased by 1 point,the risk of death increased by 15%(HR=0.869,95%CI:0.757-0.998). The malnutrition group(ALB<3.5 g/dl)had a higher incidence of sepsis (P< 0.001)and pulmonary infection(P=0.019),with every 1 g/dl reduction in ALB and 0.59-fold increased risk of death(RR=0.59,95%CI:0.53-0.65). Conclusions The incidence of hip fracture malnutrition or malnutrition risk is very high in the elderly patients with hip fracture. Both malnutrition and malnutrition risk have negative effects on postoperative functional recovery,complications and death rates,and the worse the nutritional status,the worse the prognosis. So,both ALB and MNA are recommended to be included in the care plan of elderly patients with hip fracture. When ALB is failed to diagnose malnutrition,the MNA evaluation method should be adopted to find the problems of nutrition and offer nutritional intervention in advance.

Objective:To investigate the effect of tumor deposit(TD) on the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer after radical surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on gastric cancer patients who underwent radical surgery at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Peking University People's Hospital from Jan 2021 to Dec 2023. The relationship between the status of tumor deposit and clinicopathological features, as well as the impact on the overall postoperative survival of gastric cancer patients were evaluated.Results:Pathological examination revealed that among 212 patients with gastric cancer, 12 patients (5.1%) had tumor deposits (TD). The occurrence of TD was found to be associated with preoperative T stage, N stage, and extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) (all P<0.05). During the follow-up period, 31 patients experienced recurrence, metastasis, or death. The COX multivariate analysis indicated that N stage ( P=0.07), preoperative serum CEA level ( P<0.001), EMVI ( P=0.001), and TD ( P=0.011) were independent risk factors affecting the overall postoperative survival . Among patients who received neoadjuvant therapy and on pT4 stage, pN+ status, and EMVI status before surgery, the presence of TD was closely correlated with overall survival. Patients with TD had a worse prognosis and shorter overall survival( P<0.05). Conclusion:Tumor deposit is an important risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients after radical gastrectomy and may be a predictive biomarker of early peritoneal metastasis.
