Objective To investigate the correlation of blood lipid metabolism abnormity and other components of metabolic syndrome on angiocardiopathy and cerebrovascular diseases in the elderly people. Methods The clinical data of elderly people, who underwent medical examination during 1996 to 2005 in the General Hospital of PLA, were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the analysis, the co-existence of blood lipid disorders with glucose metabolic abnormity, hypertension and obesity, as well as their influence on cardio-cerebrovascular diseases were further analyzed. Results The prevalence of blood lipid metabolic disturbance was 69.6%, in which the prevalence of hyper-cholesteremia and hyper-triglyceride were 23.6% and 21.7%, respectively. The prevalence of hyper-cholesteremia accompanied by hyper-triglyceride (mixed group) was 19.3%, that of hyper-triglyceride with lower high density lipoprotein cholesterol was 5.03%, while it was 30.4% in the normal group. There was a higher risk of having the above abnormal condition in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, and they were more frequently complicated by hypertension in the hyper-triglyceride group (70.8%). When the patients with lipid metabolic disturbance were complicated by T2DM, hypertension and obesity, the prevalence of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases increased. The prevalence of CHD was higher in the patients with hyper-cholesteremia and hypertension or diabetes, and incidence of both CHD and CVD was higher in the patients with hyper-triglyceride and either one of hypertension, diabetes or obesity. Conclusion There is high prevalence of lipid metabolic disturbance (more than two thirds) and other components of metabolic syndrome, and high risk of suffering from cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases in elderly people. The aging patients with hyper-triglyceride are vulnerable to cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, and more attention should be paid in clinical practice in future.

Objective:To explore the clinical signiifcance of the protection of superior petrosal vein (SPV) in the microneurosurgery for acoustic neuroma. Methods:From January 2009 to July 2011, 149 cases of acoustic neuroma microsurgery were observed. hTe difference in hematoma in surgical area, cerebellar hematoma and cerebellar edema were compared between a SPV without protection group (SPVWP group, n=8) and a SPV protection group (SPVP group, n=141). Results:In the 149 patients with acoustic neuroma, the SPV was reserved in 141 patients. In the SPVWP group (8 patients), hematoma in the surgery area occurred in 4 patients, cerebellar edema in 5, and cerebellar hemorrhage in 3. In the SPVP group (141 patients), hematoma in the surgery area occurred in 40 patients, cerebellar edema in 56, and cerebellar hemorrhage in 12. hTere was signiifcant difference in the incidence of cerebellar hemorrhage (χ2=3.84, P=0.05), no signiifcant difference in the incidence of hematoma in the surgical area (χ2=0.646, respectively, P=0.422), and no significant difference in the incidence of cerebellar edema (χ2=0.611, P=0.434) between the SPVWP group and the SPVP group. Conclusion:In acoustic neuroma surgery, the SPV should be protected, which may reduce the risk of cerebellar hemorrhage.

Objective To study the feasibility and safety of laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Methods From June, 2006 to July 2009, 11 patients with gastric cancer received laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy for gastric cancer. According to UICC TNM classification of gastric cancer, 6 cases were with Stage Ⅱ, 2 cases with Stage Ⅲ A, 1 case with Stage Ⅲ B, and 2 cases with Stage Ⅳ. Under the assistance of laparoscope, dissociation of the stomach and lymph nodes clearance were performed first; then gastrectomy was performed on a 6 cm incision, samples were collected, and alimentary tract was inoculated. Results Among the 11 cases, 2 cases were performed radical total gastrectomy, 1 case was performed proximal partial gastrectomy, 7 cases were performed distal partial gastrectomy and 1 case with open surgery. The mean operation time: 350 min for total gastrectomy, 320 min for proximal partial gastrectom,266 min for distal partial gastrectomy. The mean number of harvested lymph nodes was 21.3 (11-38), incisal edge was 5.6 (4.0-9.6) cm. The mean time was 72 (36-110) hrs for gastrointestinal function recovery, 59 (26-86) hrs for patients to take general activity, and 76 (48-116) hrs to take liquid food. No complication was observed. Conclusion Laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer is safe and feasible. Compared with open surgery, it also has the advantages of small wound and fast recovery.

Objective To summarize the features of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and investigate the key points of diagnosis and identification.Methods The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted.The clinical data of 21 patients with AIP who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University between February 2012 and February 2015 were collected.All the patients underwent plain and enhanced scans of CT and MRI,and magnetic resonanced cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP),and then received hormone therapy.Eleven patients with pancreatic cancer and 11 normal subjects who were diagnosed by MRI in the same period were selected,and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was calculated and compared.Observation indicators:(1) situation of imaging examination:① pancreatic manifestations:density,signal,atrophy,calcification and enlargement of pancreas,change of pancreatic duct,② manifestations out of pancreas:changes of biliary tract system and kidney,③ diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and ADC:comparisons of ADC among AIP,pancreatic cancer and normal pancreas;(2) diagnosis;(3) treatment and follow-up.The follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the clinical symptoms and signs up to February 2016.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (-x)-± s.Comparisons among groups were done using one-way ANOVA.Pairwise comparison was analyzed by Dunnett'T3 test.Results (1) Situation of imaging examination:Of 21 patients,17 received scan of CT and 11 received scan of MRI (7 combined with scan of CT).① Pancreatic manifestations:14 patients had diffuse enlargement of pancreas,with full edge and “sausage-like” change.Plain scan of CT showed uniform isodense shadow,and enhanced scan showed that reduced enhancement in arterial phase and gradually homogenous enhancement in portal vein phase and lag phase with no enhancement in edge of pancreas.Plain scan of MRI showed lesions were manifested as slight hypointensity on T1 weighted imaging (T1WI),slight hyperintensity on T2WI and hyperintensity on DWI.Enhanced scan of MRI showed delayed enhancement,edge of lesions was manifested as slight hypointensity on T1WI and T2WI,without enhancement.Atrophy and calcification of pancreas:3 patients had atrophy of pancreatic parenchyma in which scattered calcification were seen.Enlargement of pancreas:4 patients had localized enlargement of pancreas showing “false tumor-like” change,including 2 with localized enlargement in head of pancreas.Change of pancreatic duct:MRCP showed that diffuse stenosis,local stenosis and local dilatation of pancreatic ducts were respectively detected in 4,3 and 1 patients.② Manifestations out of pancreas:11 patients had changes of biliary tract system,showing intrahepatic bile duct and common bile duct dilation,partial stenosis and extensive bile duct wall thickening.Enhanced scan of MRI showed there was obvious enhancement of bile duct wall.MRCP of 4 patients showed that the beak-like stenosis was seen in the distal common bile duct.Three patients had kidney changes,enhanced scan of CT showed that kidney demonstrated patch-shape hypodense shadow in arterial phase and homogenous enhancement of patch-shape hypodense shadow in lag phase,and plain scan of MRI showed that kidney lesions demonstrated equal signal on T1WI fat suppression (FS) and patch-shape low signal on T2WI FS.Lesions had gradually homogenous enhancement in substance phase and lag phase.③ DWI and ADC:lesions in patients with AIP and pancreatic cancer demonstrated high signal on DWI (b =1 000 s/mm2) compared with adjacent tissues (no involvement in pancreas or normal pancreatic parenchyma),ADC of pancreas in patients with AIP,with pancreatic cancer and with normal population was (0.001 30 ± 0.000 35)mm2/s,(0.000 80 ± 0.000 14) mm2/s and (0.001 60-± 0.000 24) mm2/s,respectively,with a statistically significant difference (F =30.409,P < 0.05).There were statistically significant differences between patients with pancreatic cancer and patients with AIP or normal population (P < 0.05) and no statistically significant difference between patients with AIP and with normal population (P > 0.05).(2) Diagnosis:11 patients were diagnosed by CT examination,with a diagnostic accuracy of 11/17.Eight patients were diagnosed by MRI examination,with a diagnostic accuracy of 8/11.One patient was misdiagnosed as cancer of pancreatic head by CT and MRI examinations,and 1 was misdiagnosed as cancer in the distal common bile duct.(3) Treatment and follow-up:21 patients underwent regular hormone therapy,and 40 mg prednisolone was given orally a daily for 3-4 weeks and then gradually reduced to 5 mg up to complete relief of the symptoms.All the 21 patients were followed up for 12-45 months.Of 17 patients with abdominal pain and distension,symptoms of 7 patients disappeared and symptoms of 10 patients decreased or occasionally occurred.Of 10 patients associated with jaundice,symptoms of 7 and 2 patients disappeared and decreased,respectively,and symptoms of 1 patient subsided.Conclusion CT and MRI examinations of pancreas demonstrate “sausage-like” and “false tumor-like” changes,the non-neoplastic bile and pancreatic duct stenosis combined with IgG4 related diseases in other organs is an important imaging evidence for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of AIP.
