Journal of Practical Stomatology 2010;26(2):274-275
The anterior lingual salivary cyst is a easily misdiagnosed disease. In this paper, 115 cases of patients were treated with conventional surgical method and modified surgical method respectively. The results were compared. Conventional surgical method had a 35% relapse rate. Modified surgical method had a 1.33% relapse rate. Modified surgical method for anterior lingual salivary cyst is the best choice.
2.Rethink of hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma in the era of targeted immunotherapy
Chinese Journal of Hepatic Surgery(Electronic Edition) 2024;13(1):11-15
Surgery has been considered as the most effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In spite of almost 100-year development, the survival benefits brought by surgery for HCC patients have not been further improved. In recent years, widespread application of targeted drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors have provided a novel development direction for comprehensive treatment and related research of HCC. With widespread clinical application, the advantages of targeted immune therapy in the treatment of HCC at all stages are constantly presented, which make surgeons rethink whether the original concept of surgery for HCC is still correct. In this article, the problems and potential solutions in hepatectomy for HCC in the era of targeted immunotherapy were in-depth discussed.
3.Layered anatomy : an ancient concept of abdominal surgery mentioned again
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2016;15(1):12-15
Layered anatomy is a both ancient and novel conception, which is derived from topographic anatomy.Topographic anatomy and phylembryogenesis are basic academic knowledges of layered anatomy.With the development of laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery, less bleeding, more meticulous dissection, faster postoperative recovery and lower recurrence rate are required in surgical operation, because of which layered anatomy is mentioned and valued again.Organs in abdominal cavity are composed of different layered tissues,between them are loose connective tissues which are poor in vessels.Layered anatomy in surgical operation can avoid the en bloc dissection of organs, which not only reach total lesion dissection, but also avoid hurting surrounded normal tissues, showing the best surgical results.

Objective To investigate clinical characteristic of primary Sjogren's syndrome(pSS) with initial manifestations in the extra-gland organs. Methods Clinical data, including symptoms, laboratory parameters and complications of 85 pSS patients with initial manifestations of extra-gland organs hospitalized at the People's Hospital of Peking University during 2003 to 2006 were collected and analyzed retrospectively, as compared to those of pSS with xerophthalmia or xerostomia as initial ones. Results Mean time interval from onset to diagnosis in these patients with initial manifestations involved in the extra-gland organs was 94.5 months, higher than that in those with xerophthalmia or xerostomia as initial ones. Arthritis was manifested initially in 38 of the 85 patients (44.7 percent), peripheral leukopenia in 16 (18.8 percent), thrombocytopenia in nine (10.6 percent) and abnormal liver function in 13 (15.3 percent), respectively. Percentage of serum positive autoantibedies was higher in the patients with initial manifestation of the extra-gland organs than that in those with xerophthalmia or xerostomia as initial ones. Conclusions Initial manifestation of primary Sjogren's syndrome varies, and some patients can be initially involved in their extra-gland organs, with more proportion of arthritis than of other symptoms, and xerophthalmia or xerestomia could appear in them during the course of disease. And, xerophthalmia or xerostomia would not appear even as pSS was diagnosed in some other pSS patients. More attention should be paid to these clinical characteristics mentioned above in practice to avoid misdiagnosis.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 198 RA patients with or without IPF. Characteristics of RA-IPF in clinical and lab data were analyzed. Age, duration of disease,clinical and laboratory parameters, history of smoking and medicine were compared between the patients with and without IPF. Results: (1) Among the 198 RA patients, 15.2% (30/198) were found with IPF. 100% RA-IPF patients had HRCT findings. However, 63.3% (19/30) had positive findings in chest X-ray, and only 46. 7% ( 14/30) had the complaints of cough and short breath. Velcro rales were found in 50.0% (15/30) patients with IPF and no acropachy occurred. Only one patient suffered from hypoxemia. IPF presented after the joint symptoms in most patients. (2 ) RA-IPF patients were older than those without IPF [(65.50±9.71) vs (55.22±12.98) years, P<0.01]; Higher positivity of anti-keratin antibodies ( AKA) were found in RA-IPF compared to patients without IPF (61. 5% vs 35.9% , P =0.014). Furthermore, the levels of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody were significantly higher in RA-IPF [(4.38±2.08) vs (3.20±2. 12) , P =0.01]. No differentiation of duration of disease, history of smoking and medicine, IgM rheumatoid factor, IgG rheumatoid factor, anti-nuclear antibody, anti-SSA antibody and levels of immunoglobins and complements were found between the two groups of RA patients with and without IPF. Conclusion: The clinical symptoms of IPF in RA patients are mild and more common in older patients. AKA and anti-CCP antibody might be important antibodies associated with RA-IPF.
