Pyriform sinus fistula,owing to rare disease incidence and lacking of awareness,is always a puzzle to neck illness. At the mean time,The frequent delay in accurate diagnosis was reported in the literature. Pyriform sinus fistula should be considered in any children with repeated neck or thyroid infection/mass( mainly on the left side) . The combination of barium esophagography,CT scan and ultrasound is useful to establish the diagnosis. Intraoperative endoscopy-assisted intubation or methylene blue injection through the internal opening as a guide can facilitate identification of the tract during dissection,and it can effectively reduce the relapse rate.

Objective To identify the effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the differentiation and apoptosis of different types of neuroblastoma(NB) cell lines.Methods The cell lines [SK-N-SH,SK-N-BE2,SH-SY5 Y] were induced with different concentrations (0 μmol/L,1 μmol/L,3 μmol/L,5 μ mol/L and 7 μ mol/L) of arsenic trioxide for 24 h,48 h,72 h under the same conditions.The expression of MYCN gene was examined by fluorescence in situ hybridization assay in SK-N-BE2,cell proliferation,cell cycle and cell apoptosis were detected with cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry.Results 5 μmol/L of As2O3 inhibited the expression of MYCN gene in SK-N-BE2;CCK-8 assay indicated that As2O3 inhibited the proliferation of NB cell in a dose-and time-dependent manner,the cell proliferation was significantly suppressed compared with the low concentration (1 μ mol/L) after treated with As2O3 by 1 μmol/L,3 μmol/L,5 μmol/L and 7 μmol/L in 24 h,48 h and 72 h,SH-SY5Y:24 h(chisq =9.666 7,P ＜ 0.05),48 h (chisq =9.666 7,P ＜ O.05),72 h (chisq =9.512 8,P ＜ 0.05);SK-N-SH,24 h (chisq =10.38,P＜0.054 6),48 h(chisq=8.641 0,P＜0.05),72 h(chisq=9.461 5,P＜0.05);SK-N-BE2:24 h (chisq =8.435 9,P ＜0.05),48 h(chisq =8.641 O,P ＜0.05),72 h(chisq =9.545 5,P ＜0.05);compared with the control group,the As2O3-treated cells showed increased apoptosis percentage,with the percentage of 1.6％ (0 μmol/L),3.8％ (1 μmol/L),6.1％ (3 μmol/L),10.4％ (5 μmol/L),40.2％ (7 μ mol/L);the cell cycle was arrested at G2/M phase,which prevented cell division.Conclusions (1) As2O3 play an important role on the NB cells proliferation,apoptosis which were dose-and time-dependent manner.(2)As2O3 can inhibit the expression of MYCN gene.(3)As2O3 also could block NB cell cycle at S and G2/M,and inhibit the cell nucleus replication and the As2O3 had different induced effect between different types of NB cell.

Objective To investigate the effects of 13-cis retinoic acid (13-cis RA) in inducing differentiation of 3 types of human neuroblastoma (NB) cells in vitro.Methods The status of MYCN gene amplification of cultured SH-SY5Y,SK-N-SH and SK-N-BE2 cells was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization.After treatment with different concentrations of 13-cis RA,morphological changes were observed by phase-contrast microscope,and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) concentrations were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The cell viability was measured through cell counting kit-8 assay,and the cell apoptosis was assayed with flow cytometry (FCM).Results The morphological changes in differentiation were observed in all 3 types of NB cells after 13-cis RA treatment.MYCN amplification was detected in SK-N-BE2 cells even after 13-cis RA treatment,while the other 2 cell lines were amplification-null.After different concentrations of 13-cis RA treatment,NSE concentration increased with prolonged time,especially for SK-N-BE2 cell(F =27.00,P ＜ 0.000 1).13-cis RA stimulated cell proliferation within 48 hours of treatment,and then inhibited cell growth.FCM indicated that the degree of apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cell was significantly higher after 13-cis RA treatment of 10 μmol/L concentration for continuous 96 h and 120 h as compared to the control group (F =16.21,P =0.011;F =16.04,P =0.016).Cell apoptosis of SK-N-SH cell after 13-cis RA treatment of 1 μ mol/L and 10 μ mol/L concentration for 48 h,were significantly higher than those of the control group (F =15.05,P =0.012;F =31.18,P =0.005);while SK-N-BE2 cell with different concentrations of 13-cis RA(1 μmol/L,5 μmol/L,10 μ mol/L) for 120 h were significantly higher than those of the control group(F =9.05,P =0.030;F =11.38,P =0.028;F =7.88,P =0.041).Conclusions The present study showed that 13-cis RA could induce differentiation of human NB ceils in vitro.It induces cell proliferation within 48 hours of 13-cis RA,and thereafter suppresses cell growth.No improvement was found in MYCN amplification cells with the detection of DNA level after 13-cis RA treatment,which suggests that combined treatment is possibly needed.

Objective To compare the prognosis of vascular in situ and bridge vessel percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI) therapy strategies in patients with recurrent angina after coronary artery bypass grafting ( CABG) . Methods A total of one hundred and two patients with recurrent angina after CABG from January 2008 to January 2016 were involved in this study and were divided into two groups according to interventional therapy strategy:74 patients in the vascular in situ PCI group ( in situ group,74 cases) and 28 patients for bridge vessel PCI group ( bridge vessel group,28 cases) . The patients have been followed up for (33. 6± 10. 2) months. The major adverse cardiovascular events ( MACE) of the two groups were recorded, including non?fatal acute myocardial infarction ( AMI) ,target vessel revascularization ( TVR) and cardiac death, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of MACE. Results Compared with the bridge vessel group,the non?MACE survival rate,non?AMI survival rate and non?TVR survival rate of the in situ group were significantly increased ( ( 71. 6% ( 53/74 ) vs. 57. 1% ( 16/28 ) , 93. 2% ( 69/74 ) vs. 82. 1% (23/28),81. 1% (60/74) vs. 67. 9% (19/28) ),the differences were statistically significant (χ2=8. 141,4. 219,5. 436, P<0. 05) . Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age of bridge ( OR=1. 023,95%CI 1. 005-1. 026,P=0. 019) ,diabetes mellitus ( OR=2. 386,95%CI 1. 425-3. 991,P=0. 003) and bridge vessel PCI (OR=1. 884,95%CI 1. 093-3. 220,P=0. 025) were factors that affect the clinical prognosis in patients with recurrent angina pectoris after CABG. Conclusion The clinical prognosis of the in situ PCI is better than bridge vascular PCI in patients with recurrent angina after CABG,while the age of bridge, diabetes mellitus, vascular interventional treatment are factors for the effect of interventional therapy patients prognosis. The clinical prognosis is much better in native vessel PCI than that of bridge vessel PCI in patients with recurrent angina after CABG. The age of bridge,diabetes mellitus and bridge vessel PCI are the factors that affect the clinical prognosis in the patients.

Objective To enhance awareness of the dangerous of multiple magnets ingestion in children and to explore the optimal treatment of it.Methods The clinical data of 3 cases with multiple magnet ingestion were retrospectively studied based on literature review.Results Ingestion of multiple magnets (range:2-5 magnets) magnets occurred in 3 cases.Age ranged from 1 to 8 years old.Magnet sources included:2 from children's family,1 from their kindergarten.All patients had several bowel perforations(range:2-4).One case was completed by laparoscopic,1 case was converted to open suegery after laparoscopy,1 case was done by open surgery.All cases got complete recovery after surgical treatment,and no complications occurred by follow-up.Conclusions Ingestion of multiple magnets may show minimal initial physical manifestations at beginning but may result in significant complications later.Two or more magnets separated from each other along the gastrointestinal tract can attract each other across bowel walls,with may result in pressure necrosis,bowel perforation,and fistulas formation and even death.Early surgical consultation with an aggressive surgical approach is recommended.Family and society should be aware of the dangers of magnet ingestion.

Objective To explore the surgical intervention outcomes of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)pa-tients with different extent of the disease.Methods The data of 25 pediatric patients with NEC who were treated with surgical intervention in Shanghai Children′s Hospital from December 201 1 to December 201 5 were retrospectively ana-lyzed.According to the extent of the disease,the patients were divided into 3 groups:focal disease(F),multisegmental disease(M),and pan -involvement(P).The information including operation style,survival rate and time for close osto-my was analyzed.Results There were 1 1 cases with F,8 cases with M,and 6 cases with P.All patients received lapa-rotomy surgery,colostomy,or peritoneal drainage.There were 1 2 patients with very low birth weight,7 patients with low birth weight,6 patients with normal birth weight in this study.There were 1 7 cases with gastrointestinal perforation (9 cases with pneumoperitoneum,8 cases without pneumoperitoneum),8 cases without digestive tract perforation (4 cases without pneumoperitoneum,4 cases with enterostenosis after conservative treatment).In this study,close ostomy was commonly conducted 3 -6 months after the operation,except for 3 cases who received 2 or more times of operation.The survival rate in F group was 1 00.0%(1 1 /1 1 cases),higher than those in the Mgroup with 62.5%(5 /8 cases)and P group with 1 6.7%(1 /6 cases)(χ2 =4.898,1 0.31 2,all P <0.05).However,there was no difference between Mgroup and P group (χ2 =1 .367,P >0.05).Conclusions The extent of disease is correlated to the outcomes of surgical in-tervention,as F had a better outcome than Mand P.Low birth weight is a risk factor for NEC.Protecting the edge of the bowel is a key factor to ensure the survival and improve the quality of life of NEC patients.Close ostomy should be con-sidered when the patients are in a stable condition (liver function and intestinal function recovery,good nutrition condi-tion,etc),and under special circumstances to conduct early or delayed closure of fistula.

Objective:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine and urapidil on postoperative extubation stress response, postoperative shivering, and cerebral oxygen metabolism in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods:A total of 120 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to the Seventh People′s Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects. They were randomly divided into an observation group (60 cases) and a control group (60 cases) according to the random number table method. All patients underwent intracranial hematoma removal surgery under general anesthesia combined with bone flap decompression surgery for treatment. The observation group patients received sedation and analgesia with dexmedetomidine and urapidil after surgery, while the control group patients received sedation and analgesia with dexmedetomidine after surgery. The differences in vital signs, stress indicators, cerebral oxygen and cerebral glucose metabolism, and adverse reactions between two groups of patients were compared.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and bispectral index (BIS) between the two groups after entering the room (T 0) and before anesthesia medication (T 1) (all P>0.05). The HR, SBP, DBP, and BIS of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group at extubation (T 2), immediately after extubation (T 3), 1 minute after extubation (T 4), and 3 minutes after extubation (T 5), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in various stress indicators between the two groups of patients at T 0 (all P>0.05), while the stress indicators of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group at T 5 (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the cerebral oxygen uptake rate (CERO 2) and cerebral arteriovenous blood glucose difference (AVDG) between the two groups of patients at T 0 (all P>0.05), while the CERO 2 and AVDG in the observation group at T 5 were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of hypoxemia, hypotension, and bradycardia between the two groups of patients after surgery (all P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative shivering in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The Glasgow Coma Index of both groups of patients after surgery was higher than that before surgery (all P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in Glasgow Coma Index between the two groups before and after surgery (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Dexmedetomidine and Urapidil have significant improvement effects on postoperative extubation stress response, postoperative shivering, and cerebral oxygen metabolism in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. It is recommended to promote them clinically.
