Objective To explore the clinial value of airbronchogram in diagnosis of peripheral lung cancer (diameter≤3). Methods Comparing study between thin section CT and pathology was done on 174 nodules (129malignant and 45 benigin) in 150 patients. Results Thin section CT showed 30 cases (23%) of airbronehogram in nodules,only seen in bronchioalveolocarcinoma, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (significance difference). Conclusion Airbronchogram in peripheral small nodules was a certain sign of malignant nodule. The sign suggested diagnosis of histologic types in lung center.

Objective To evaluate the early diagnosis value of MRI combined with DSA in cirrhotic nodules (regenerative nodules, dysplastic nodules) becoming small hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods 40 patients diagnosed as cirrhosis and whose liver nodules detected by ultrasound were followed up as MR dynamic study. All patients were followed up by three dynamic contrast-enhanced MR scanning once every 3 months,and the changes of cirrhotic nodules were observed and analyzed in the signal. If MRI suggested cancerous nodules cirrhosis, hepatic artery DSA would be carried out. Results 40 patients were followed up for 1.5 to 3 years,all patients MR nodules were found in liver regeneration. Follow-up process, the dysplastic nodules were founded in 28 cases and the small hepatocellular carcinoma were founded in 18 patients. 16 cases of 18 patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma carried out routine DSA all had typical of hepatic arterial blood supply and angiogenesis, and were given to Integrated Traditional and Western intervention simultaneously. Conclusion Combined use of MRI-DSA in the evaluation of cirrhotic nodules had a definite value, and could find smaller hepatocellular carcinoma,provide the basis for smaller hepatocellular carcinoma therapy.

Objective To summarize the therapeutic results and experience of the interventional managements for pseudoaneurysms occurred after surgery. Methods Five pseudoaneurysms with different location that occurred after surgery in five patients were treated with different interventional managements. One patient suffered from a ruptured pseudoaneurysm of left common iliac artery, which was treated by obstructing the diseased artery with balloon via the abdominal aorta followed by the replacement of vascular prostheses. One patient had a pseudoaneurysm of right subclavian artery and endovascular covered stent was employed to isolate it. The remaining three patients were affected by pseudoaneurysm of terminal arteries and intraarterial embolization with gelfoam and/or steel coils was camed out. Results Complete closing of the pseudoaneurysm was obtained in all five patients and no therapy-related complications occurred. Conclusion Pseudoaneurysms occurred after surgery can be effectively treated with different interventional managements, it is worth popularizing this technique in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of extra-fine choledochoscope in treating polypoid lesions of gallbladder by percutaneous trans-hepatic and trans-gallbladder puncture(PTGB). Methods Extra-fine choledochoscope(2. 7 mm diameter)was inserted into tract soon after it was made per-cutaneously trans-hepatic and dilated in one session,gallbladder polyps was removed with biopsy forceps or snare or basket,and PTCD drainage tube(10. 2 F diameter)was imbedded for external drainage until 10 days after. If the gallbladder puncture point fell on the bed and gallbladder polyps were not clearly visual-ized,or puncture points were on non-gallbladder bed of the body,drainage tube(10. 2 F diameter)was placed for external drainage. Results Forty-two patients were successfully punctured,and 40 patients were punctured accurately on the bed in,and the fresh endoscope tract of these patients was established in 45 mi-nutes on average. Of the 29 cases of simple bottom and body ventral polyps,complete clearance of gallbladder polyps was achieved in 27. Gallbladder polyps clearance rate was 93. 10%. Complications of minor hemobi-lia occurred in 9 cases,and infection of biliary tract occurred in 3 cases after operation. There was no recur-rence after a follow-up of 15 months on average. Conclusion Extra-fine choledochoscope by PTGB is a less invasive,more reliable and effective method to cure benign polypoid lesions of the gallbladder. The gallblad-der is preserved and for malignant polyps,it can help to achieve early diagnosis and provide reliable evidence for further treatment.

Methods Fifteen patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma after curative treatment were included in this study. Guided by ultrasound and fluoroscopy, left branch of the portal vein were punctured and port-catheter system were implanted. Then drugs infusion into portal vein system was done for preventing recurrence of hepatic carcinoma. Results Interventional operations were succeed in all 15 cases. Drugs could drop into portal vein smoothly. No operating complications occurred. Conclusion Percutaneous transhepatic portal vein port-catheter system implantation was an easy operating and micro traumatic method. This technique could play an important role in preventing recurrence.

OBJECTIVESTo evaluate the effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty on vertebral tumor metastasis using instruments and drugs made in China and to explore the technique of percutaneous vertebroplasty.

METHODSThirty-two patients with vertebral metastasis were treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty with instruments and drugs made in China. Anterolateral approach for cervical vertebrae and transpedicular approach for thoracic and lumbar vertebrae were used. The volume of disease focus and the amount of polymethy methacrylate (PMMA) injected were calculated with formula V = 4/3pi (D/2)(3) preoperatively. PMMA with contrast was mixed according to the ratio of powder/liquid/contrast of 3:2:1. The procedures were monitored under fluoroscopy. PMMA was injected in the polymerization time. CT scanning was performed before and after the operation.

RESULTSThe percentage of lesion PMMA fill was more than 50% as demonstrated by CT. Clinical data were obtained from the cases followed up for 7 - 12 months, and the rate of pain relief was 90.6% (29/32) at one week, 71.8% (23/32) at six months, and 58.6% (17/29) at 12 months after operation. There were no cases of PMMA leakage that affected clinical performance.

CONCLUSIONSPercutaneous vertebroplasty for vertebral tumor metastasis using instruments and drugs made in China was effective. It is important to prevent paravertebral leaks of PMMA and to ensure that PMMA is injected within the polymerization time.
