Objective To evaluate the pathophysiology of paraplegia during transarterial chemoembolization in liver cancer and investigate effective management and prevention for improving clinical situation and relieve major symptoms.Method 2758 patients accepted TACE procedure because of liver cancer(and/or combined with remote metastasis),demonstrated 4 cases suffering from paraplegia(3 males,1 female)since Mar.2003 to Feb.2005,with mean age of(51?14)years old,The operative records and the clinical features after chemoembolization were summarized in detail.Results The incidence of paraplegia was 0.145%,with major symptoms of dysesthesia and hypokinesise emerging within 4 hours after TACE,and most symptoms aggravating gradually within 24-48 hours untill paraplegia appeared,and then turned to stabilization about 5-7 days,with their body functions partial recovery in 2 months.Conclusion More attention should be paied to prevent ectopic embolization of spinal cord vessels originating from extrahepatic collateral arteries during TACE or TAE.

OBJECTIVETo probe into the effect of acupuncture in imaging diagnosis on changing pyloric antrum and duodenal bulb metamorphosis, and provide reliable evidence for confirming pathological characters.

METHODSAmong 30 cases needing image examination, 18 cases had metamorphosis of duodenal bulb and 12 cases had metamorphosis of pyloric antrum. Acupuncture was given at Zusanli (ST 36) with uniform reinforcing-reducing method, and with moderate-strong stimulation. The needle was retained for 2 min. After pressing point Zhongwan (CV 12), changes of image were investigated.

RESULTSAfter acupuncture, the metamorphosis alleviated in 26 cases, with an effective rate of 86.7%.

CONCLUSIONThis method is simple, convenient and objective with no adverse effects.

Objective To evaluate PDCA circle in training of cooperation quality in endoscopic nurse.Methods PDCA circle was applied to train endoscopic nurses.Knowledge of endoscopic nursing and techniques as well as operators' satisfaction with endoscopic examination were compared before and after PDCA circle training.Results Nursing scores increased from 92.40 to 96.00 with statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).Performance scores increased from 93.03 to 98.13 (P ＜ 0.05).Operators' satisfaction increased from 81.3％ to 96.9％.Conclusion PDCA circle could improve not only endoscopic nursing but also the quality of endoscopic training.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of new transnasal Fujifilm EG-530-NW electronic gastroscope.Methods A total of 295 patients who underwent gastroscopy were randomly divided into 2 groups to receive examination by routine endoscope (n =172) or Fujifilm EG-530-NW transnasal endoscope (n =123).The fluctuation of heart rate,blood pressure and compliance during the examination were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results The new Fujifilm EG-530-NW could obtain clear images with same quality of routine gastroscope.The heart rate change and visual analog pain score in patients from EG-530-NW gastroscope group were significantly lower than those of routine gastroscope group (P ＜ 0.05).No significant difference in blood pressure fluctuation was observed between the two groups.In patients older than 50 years,the fluctuations of heart rate and blood pressure in EG-530-NW group were significantly less than those of routine gastroscope group.Conclusion Fujifilm EG-530-NW gastroscope can get high quality image with less influence on heart rate and blood pressure fluctuation,which is more significant in older patients.
