Objective To investigate the imaging features of epidermoid cyst within intrapancreatic accessory spleen (ECIPAS) to make benefits for differential diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinicalradiological and pathological data of 7 patients with pathologically confirmed ECIPAS. All the cases underwent plain and contrast enhanced CT scan, 2 cases underwent magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and 5 cases underwent ultrasonic examination. The imaging features of the lesions were analyzed. Results CT showed that 5 lesions were situated in the pancreatic tail while the other two located in the neck.The mean size of the lesions was (2.8± 1.2) cm,ranging from 1.5 to 4.8 cm. The cysts appeared multiocular in 2 cases. On plain CT, 2 cases showed well?defined low density foci, while 2 cases showed slightly high density. Calcification can be found in 2 cases. In 4 cases, the solid component surrounding the cyst displayed progressive enhancement on postcontrast CT. The enhancement was higher than the pancreatic parenchymaand similar to the spleen during both arterial and portal venous phases. On MRCP,no expansion was shown in pancreatic duct andit had no relationship with cyst in both 2 cases while slightly hypointensity could be found at the back and it pancreatic neck and body in 1 case. Five lesions were hypoechoic or anechoic and irregular?shaped on ultrasound. Conclusion ECIPAS is a rare benign lesion and the typical imaging manifestation is a cyst with surrounding solid component with enhancement similar to the spleen while higher than pancreas.

Objective To investigate the anatomical structure of the first plantar lumbrical muscle in the foot and to measure the relevant data which could provide anatomical basis for repairing thumb and finger defects with the transplantation of toes accompanied with the first lumbrical muscle,and to explore the marphological function of the first lumbrical muscle of the foot.Methods From March,2016 to January,2018,a systematic and detailed dissection of the 50 formalin-fixed feet was performed to observe the exact position of the starting and ending points of the first lumbrical muscle,and a Vernier caloper was used to measure the relevant record data.Results The first lumbrical muscle originates from the medial portion of the flexor digitorum lungus tendon of the second toe,and the length of the ventral muscle was [55.87±8.67(79.30-41.16] mm.There were 2 endpoints in the tendon.The first one was in the medial tubercle of the proximal phalanges.The second one was aponeurosis of the dorsal toe and the tendon was divided into proximal and distal segments with the medial tubercle as the mark point.The length of the proximal segment was [15.34±4.81(5.52-25.18] mm,the width of the proximal segment was [2.31±1.12(3.28-1.21)] mm,the thickness was [0.44±0.14(0.28-0.68)] mm;the length of the distal segment was [11.51±4.06(3.46-14.90)] mm,the width was [6.10±1.44(9.36-3.70)] mm,and the thickness was [0.18±0.09(1.10-0.38)] mm.The length and thickness of the proximal segment was signifantly larger than those of the distal segment (P＜0.05).Conclusion The first lumbrical muscle has the function of maintaining the balance and stability of both the toe and the arch during movement,flexuring the metatarsophalangeal joint,extending the interosseous joint of the extensor phalangeal,adducting the second toe;also the function of preventing the second toe from pronation during foots' movement.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to observe the postoperative pain rate and degree of pain in preschool children with cleft lip and palate, and investigate the effect of nursing intervention on pain relief.

METHODSA total of 120 hospitalized cases of three- to seven-year-old preschool children with cleft lip and palate were selected from May to October 2011. The subjects were randomly divided into the control group and experimental groups 1, 2, and 3. The control group used conventional nursing methods, experimental group 1 used analgesic drug treatment, experimental group 2 used psychological nursing interventions, and experimental group 3 used both psychological nursing intervention and analgesic drug treatment. After 6, 12, 24, and 48 h, pain self-assessment, pain parent-assessment, and pain nurse-assessment were calculated for the four groups using the pain assessment forms, and their ratings were compared.

RESULTSThe postoperative pain rates of the four groups ranged from 50.0% to 73.3%. The difference among the four groups was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The differences among the control group and experimental groups 1 and 2 were not statistically significant (P = 0.871), whereas the differences among experimental group 3 and the other groups were statistically significant (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONPostoperative pain in preschool children with cleft lip and palate is common. Psychological nursing intervention with analgesic treatment is effective in relieving postoperative pain.

Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of levornidazole in the treatment of pelvic anaerobic infections. Methods A multicenter randomized controlled clinical study was conducted to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of levornidazole. One hundred and fourty-three patients with pelvic anaerobic bacteria infection were classified into 70 cases treated by levornidazole in study group and 73 cases treated by Ornidazole in control group. Those patients in two groups were both administered at a dose of 0. 5 g twice daily for 5 - 7 days. The rate of clinical efficacy, bacteria clearance and adverse effect were recorded and compared between two groups. Results At the endpoint, the rate of clinical efficacy were 80% (56/70) in study group and 81% (59/73) in control group, which did not reach significant difference (P＞0. 05). The rate of bacteria clearance were 97% (36/37) in study group and 92% (22/24) in control group, which also did not reach significant difference(P ＞0. 05). The rate of adverse reaction of 3% (20/70) in study group was significantly lower than 22% ( 16/73 ) in control group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion It is effective and safe to treat pelvic anaerobic infections with levornidazole and sodium chloride injection.
