Objective To investigate the typing, staging and therapeutic outcome of intrahepatic cholan-giocarcinoma (ICC). Methods The clinical data of 60 ICC patients who were admitted to the Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2000 to December 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. ICC was classi-fied according to the type and TNM staging proposed by the Liver Cancer Study Group of Japan (LCSGJ). The relationships between typing, staging, surgical procedures and therapeutic outcome were investigated, as well as the relationship between the LCSGJ staging system and UICC staging system. Results The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survivals of the 60 ICC patients were 44% (23/52), 19% (10/52) and 10% (5/52), respectively. The median survival time for patients with radical resection (n =30) , liver transplantation (n = 10), palliative surgery (n = 11) and exploratory laparotomy (n=9) were 13, 3, 3 and 1 months, respectively. The radical resection rates for mass-forming type, periductal-infiltrating type, intraductal growth type and mixed type were 23/31, 9/15, 5/6 and 3/8, respectively. There were significant relationships between tumor type, degree of differentiation and prog-nosis (χ2 = 8. 308, 10. 009, P < 0. 05), and between tumor type and lymph node metastasis (χ2 = 13. 261, 5.702, P <0.05). There was no significant difference in survival time between patients with different pathological types, but the prognosis of patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma was better than that in the other types, with a median survival time of 20months. The median survival time of patients in LCSGJ stage Ⅳ was 3. 0 months, which was significantly longer than that in UICC stage Ⅳ (χ2 =3. 877, P <0. 05). Tumor staging was intimately related to the macroscopic type χ2 =8.288, P <0. 05). Conclusions The prognosis of ICC is poor. The typing and staging of LCSGJ is concise and practical, which is helpful in guiding treatment and evaluating progno-sis. Surgical treatment should be applied to mucinous ICC, and liver transplantation is not recommended for the treatment of ICC.

Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of the local nerve block anesthesia procedure in daysurgery inguinal herniorrhaphy practice.Methods Fifty-eight inguinal herniorrhaphy were performed under the local nerve block anesthesia in the form of day surgery between April 2014 and April 2015 other 58 inguinal hemiorrhaphy were performed under general anesthesia.Time of operation,hospitalization stay,complications and costs were evaluated.Results The average operating time of the day-surgery group was (47 ± 12) min.All operations were completed successfully.Fifty-six patients were discharged in 24 hours and 2 patients were discharged in 48 hours after the surgery.The average costs were 8437 yuan.The rate of postoperative complications was approximately 6.6％ (4/58),including hematoma(3 cases),urinary relention(1 case),and chronic pain (1 case).The VAS scores of 6 hours after the operation were (2.4 ± 0.8).Conclusions It suggests that preperitoneal hemiorrhaphy under the local nerve block anesthesia in the form of day-surgery was safe and effective.Also,it could significantly shorten the time of hospitalization and reduce medical costs.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of aggressive angiomyxoma.Methods CT findings in 3 patients and MRI finding among one of them with pathologically proved aggressive angiomyxoma were retrospectively analyzed and the relevant literature were reviewed.Results In all the 3 cases,CT and MR imaging demonstrated a well defined mass arising from the pelvis,perineum or vulva.The tumours displaced but did not invade adjacent structures of the pelvic.In 2 cases,there was marked enhancement following injecting contrast materials or T_2WI with internal swirling pattern.Recurrent tumour in one case was of similar imaging features to the primary lesion.The small cystiform area could be seen inside the lesion in one case.Conclusion Aggressive angiomyxoma carries certain characteristics in CT and MRI manifestations.MRI is more excellent than CT in delineating the site,shape and the extent of these lesions.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in the treatment of the unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods According to the inclusion criteria,33 patients with the unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma were given sorafenib (400 mg for twice per day).During the course of treatment,dose was adjusted based on the degree of the adverse effects.Tumor response to sorafenib and safety was assessed every 6-8 weeks using the modified RECIST criteria.The survial curve for the time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) were estimated.Results In this series,there was no patients achieved complete response (CR) and partial response (PR),1 1 patients were evaluated as with stable disease(SD),22 patients were with progressive disease (PD).The median TTP was 5.6 months (2.3-8.9 months).The median TTP was longer in patients with BCLC B than BCLC C stage.TTP was longer in good than in poor performance status patients,and shorter in extrahepatic metastasis than in no extrahepatic metastasis patients.The overall incidence of adverse events was 75.8％.The most common adverse events were hand foot skin reaction,diarrhea,hypertension and rash.Three patients had grade 3 adverse events.Conclusions Sorafenib can extend the median time to progression in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.Patients with earlier stage of HCC and better performance status are hopeful for more positive response to the treatment of sorafenib.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that arthroscopic al-inside technology for meniscus repair has achieved good outcomes, and arthroscopic suture combined with sodium hyaluronate has an important role in the cartilage repair. OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic effect of arthroscopic al-inside suture repair combined with sodium hyaluronate injection in the repair of discoid meniscus tears. METHODS:Twenty-two patients with discoid meniscus injury were subjected to arthroscopic al-inside suture repair combined with sodium hyaluronate injection. Al cases were confirmed to have attached edge relaxation or longitudinal crack in operation. After repair, effective rehabilitation training was done. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The operations for the 22 cases were al successful and there was no complication. Al patients were fol owed up for over 18 months. According to Ikenchi’s method (Lysholm knee score criterion), 11 cases were rated excel ent, 8 were rated good, and 3 were rated fair, with an excel ent/good rate of 86.36%. It is demonstrated that the al-inside suture repair under the guide of arthroscopy in discoid meniscus cases can remain the most appropriate anatomical structure of the meniscus that can play an effective function, and has the advantage of minimal invasion. Arthroscopic al-inside suture repair combined with intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate and standard rehabilitation training result in a lower complication rate and effectively promotes the meniscus repair.

Objective To study the closure time of neonatal ductus venosus and the Z score regression equation, and to explore the variation of closure time of neonatal ductus venosus with gestationalage.Methods Color doppler ultrasound was applied to detect the closure time of neonatal ductus venosus in normal newborns, Z score regression equation ( lnY =a +bX +cX2 ) for the closure time of neonatal ductus venosus ( Y ) was developed by regression analysis which used gestational age ( X) as an independent variable. The Z scores of the closure time of neonatal ductus venosus in different gestational age were calculated by the formula [ Z = ( M - Y )/S x , M for observation value, Y for predictivevalue].Results There were 432 cases in our study.The closure time of neonatal ductus venosus was negatively related to gestational age ( r = -0. 938 , P <0. 001 ) . The nonlinear regression equation was lnY= -5. 228+0. 089X-0. 000228X2, R2 =0. 854, Sx =0. 214(P<0. 001). Based on the predicted mean of the closure time and Sx related to different gestational age, Z scores for specific closure time of neonatal ductus venosus could be calculated by the formula [ Z =( M -Y)/Sx ] . The Z scores were normally distributed,and did not change with gestational age.Conclusions Theclosure & nbsp;time of neonatal ductus venosus is negatively related to gestational age. The Z scores obtained by the predicted nonlinear regression equation are normally distributed.
