Objective To investigate therapeutic effect of endoscope?guided bougie dilatation on children with benign esophageal stricture. Methods Data of 71 patients with benign esophageal stricture were retrospective analyzed.Patients were divided into group A (reflux stricture),B (congenital esophageal atresia stricture) and C ( caustic injuries stricture) ,based on different causes. The expansion effectiveness and factors of the three groups were analyzed. Results A total of 885 expansions were performed on 71 patients with the total efficacy rate 94?37%( 67/71) . No statistic differences were shown in expansion effectiveness among the 3 groups; group C ( 14?9 times/case, P < 0?05 ) showed more expansion frequencies than group A (9?1 times/case,P<0?05)and group B(10?7 times/case, P<0?05),more complications than group A(1?22%VS 0,P<0?05) and group B(1?22% VS 0?31%,P<0?05). Conclusion Endoscope?guided bougie dilatation is safe and effective for childrens′ benign esophageal stricture. Caustic injuries, refractory benign esophageal stricture,need more expansions and may be accompanied with more complications.

Objective To explore the influence of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine on neurological function in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods One hundred patients with ischemic stroke were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group.Both groups were given basic treatment.At this basis,sixty patients in the treatment group were given Chinese decoction,Kudiezi injection,traditional Chinese medicine soaking,and comprehensive rehabilitation; forty patients in the control group were given citicoline,modem rehabilitation techniques.Both groups were treated for 21 days.The scores of NIHSS,ADL,and MMSE were assessed at 7th day,14th day,and 21st day after admission of the trial,respectively.Results After 14 days,the scores of NIHSS (22.33± 1.06)in treatment group were decreased significantly (P＜0.05).After 21 days,the scores of NIHSS,ADL,MMSE in treatment group were(18.73±1.23),(20.19±2.17),(38.68±2.85),and(21.65±l.41),(25.37±2.34),(32.12±3.11)in control group,the improvement of scores in treatment group were superior to the control group (P＜0.05).The total effective rate was 91.67％ in treatment group,and 70％ in control group,it was significantly higher in treatment group than that in the control group (x2=7.98,P＜0.05).Conclusion The therapy of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine can significantly improve ischemic stroke,enhance the therapeutic efficiency of patients with ischemic stroke.

Objective To discuss the surgical treatment for huge hepatoblastoma in children,and the technique of hepatectomy without blockade of the blood supply to the remained liver lobes.Methods We reviewed 12 cases of huge hepatoblastorna who had been operated from July 2001 to January 2009 in our hospital.The mean age of the children was 3.2 years(range,11 months to 12 years).The diameter of the tumor was from 10 to 23 cm.3～7 cycles of chemotherapy was routinely administrated before operation.When the tumor reduced to a certain size that radical resection could be performed safely,regular hepatectomy was conducted.Hepatoblastoma resection without blocking the blood supply to the remained liver lobes was performed in every patient.Results The operations were successfully accomplished in all the 12 children.5 cases received right trihepatectomy (segment Ⅳ,Ⅴ～Ⅷ),4 cases received right hemihepatectomy(segment Ⅴ～Ⅷ),and the other 3 cases received Ⅳ,Ⅶ,Ⅷ segmentectomy,right Ⅴ,Ⅵ segmentectomy,and left hemihepatectomy respectively.The intraoperative hemodynamic parameters were stable,and there was no perioperative mortality.Postoperative chemotherapy wag routinely administrated.The follow-up period varied from 2 to 92 months.11 children survived and were disease free,among those 6 children have survived for more than 5 years.One child had brain and lung metastasis 5 months post operation,and died 7 months post operation. Conclusion Preoperative chemotherapy administrated to children with huge hepatoblastoma can reduce the tumor size and render tumor reseetable.Hepatoblastoma resection without blocking the blood supply to the remained liver lobes is a safe and feasible surgical technique.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of 2D-FIESTA sequence of MRI in the detection of the biliary tract lesions in infant and young children patients(less than 3 years).Methods 8 infant and young children patients were examined by MRI to evaluatetheir biliary tract.Images were obtained with a 1.5T whole body MRI system(GE Medical System,Milwakee,Wis,USA),using theCARDIAC coil.The patients were sedated by chloral hydrate orally or by pentobarbital sodium intravenously.No contrast agents wererequired.All of the axial,coronal and sagittal images were reviewed on an independent workstation and maximum intensity projection(MIP) and multiplanar reformations(MPR) techniques were applied.Results The 2D-FIESTA pulse sequence results in images in which the hepatic vascular structures and the biliary tract were highlighted.In this way,a clear visualization of the hepatic vessels and biliarytract could be obtained in all 8 cases.MRI could demonstrate the anatomy and pathology of post-transplantation changes in 3 patients,choledochal cysts in 2 patients,anomalous connection between the bile and pancreatic ducts in 1 patient.All the abnormalities were proved by operation.2 examinees were diagnosed normal by MRI and were confirmed by follow-up.Conclusion 2D-FIESTA is a fast sequence that allows the high quality images to be generated without breath-hold and without administration of contrast material.It has a potential wide application in the evaluation of biliary tract in the infant patients.

Objective To explore the method and superiority of laparoscopic management of children's varicocele. Methods High position ligation of varicocele under laparoscope was performed and internal spermatic arteries were reserved intraoperatively. Results 32 cases had smooth recovery after operation, and no complication occurred. The hospital stay was (1～3)days postoperatively. 29 cases had been followed up for 6 months～1 year and no relapse and testis atrophy occurred. Conclusions The method has the advantages of simpleness, minimal invasion and quicker recovery. Reservation of internal spermatic artery can prevent testis atrophy.

Objective To study the value of laparoscope in the diagnosis and treatment of high cryptorchidism. Methods 21 testes in 19 patients were performed by intraperitoneal exploration and cryptorchidopexy. Results The testes of 11 cases were located in inferior extremity of kidneys and the ones of 8 cases in superior part of internal rings.15 testes were fixed in the bottom of scrotums and 4 ones in abdominal cavity for secondary operation; absent testis was found in 1 case; 1 testis was removed due to testis dysplasia. Scrotum emphysema and hematoma occurred in 3 and 1 patients respectively. Wounds of 19 cases healed well postoperatively. 15 patients had been followed up for (3～10) months with an average of 6 months and they recovered well. Conclusions The diagnosis and treatment of high cryptorchidism by means of laparoscope has the advantages of minimal invasion, less bleeding, quicker recovery and no serious complications.

Objective To evaluate the value of laparoscope in the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive jaundice in infants. Methods 52 cases of obstructive jaundice were diagnosed and treated under laparoscope. Results 2 cases were converted to open operation because of a lot of ascitic fluid. The diagnosis of other 50 cases was confirmed under laparoscopic cholangiography, including biliary atresia in 33 cases, bile duct hypoplasia in 10 ones and cholestasis in 7 ones. Hepatic portal-intestinal anastomosis was operated on 43 patients. Liver biopsy was done in 38 cases. Biliary duct cannula and irrigation were performed in 9 cases. Conclusions Laparoscope is an accurate and reliable technique in the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive jaundice in infants and it can avoid open surgery for infants with cholestasis.
