ABSTRACT

Objective To summarize the clinical nursing experience for patients with malignant obstructive jaundice after receiving percutaneous biliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and stent implantation. Methods The postoperative nursing experience in 9 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice who received percutaneous biliary RFA together with stent implantation were retrospectively analyzed. The postoperative complications and the nursing intervention measures were analyzed and evaluated. Results Biliary RFA and subsequent stent implantation were successfully carried out in all 9 patients. After the procedure, biliary fistula occurred in one patient, biliary hemorrhage in 2 patients and biliary infection in 2 patients. The patient, who developed biliary fistula, died one week later, and the clinical conditions in the remaining 4 patients were improved after symptomatic treatment. During the follow-up period of one month, the patients were in good condition. Conclusion The main purpose of postoperative nursing for patients after receiving percutaneous biliary RFA is to prevent the occurrence of bile duct perforation, hemorrhage, infection, etc. It is very important to keep the patients under close observation and comprehensive nursing so as to make an early detection and timely treatment of such complications, thus to reduce the incidence of complications causing serious consequences as well as to promote an early recovery.

ABSTRACT

Objective The aim was to evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI in lesions with architectural distortion manifested in mammography. Methods A retrospective analysis of MRI was performed in 60 patients with 61 lesions manifested as architectural distortion in full?field digital mammography (FFDM) and subsequently confirmed by pathology or two year's follow?up, 30 were malignant and 31 were benign. All the patients underwent MRI within 2 weeks of mammography. MRI protocol included conventional MR, DWI and dynamic contrast?enhanced MRI. The breast imaging reporting and data system (BI?RADS) was used as the reference standard. BI?RADS categories 1 to 3 were considered as negative for malignancy and BI?RADS categories 4 to 5 were considered as positive for malignancy. ADCs of suspicious lesion of interest and glandular tissue were calculated. nADC was then calculated using the following formula:nADC=ADC(lesion)/ADC(glandular tissue). ADC and nADC were compared by using t test. ROC analysis was carried out to define the most effective threshold ADC and nADC value to differentiate malignant from benign lesion in the breast. Diagnostic performance of the FFDM, DCE?MRI and DCE?MRI combined nADC were calculated. Results ADC value of malignant and benign lesions was (1.35±0.31)×10?3 mm2/s and (1.07±0.40)×10?3 mm2/s, respectively . nADC values were 0.83±0.17 and 0.59± 0.25, respectively (t values were 2.82 and 4.54, P<0.01). Area under the curve of ADC and nADC were 0.829 and 0.753 respectively. When threshold of ADC was set at 1.19×10?3mm2/s, sensitivity and specificity were 71.0%and 86.7%, respectively. For a nADC value threshold of 0.589, sensitivity and specificity were 93.5%and 76.7%, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy with FFDM were 80.0%(24/30), 9.7%(3/31) and 44.3%(27/61), Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy with DCE?MRI were 90.0%(27/30), 41.9%(13/31) and 65.6%(40/61), Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy with DCE?MRI combined nADC were 93.3%(28/30), 77.4%(24/31) and 85.2%(52/61), respectively. Conclusion Sensitivity and specificity with DCE?MRI combined nADC is higher, and DCE?MRI combined nADC values is helpful to differentiate malignant from benign lesions with architectural distortion manifested in FFDM.

ABSTRACT

Objective In-hospital mortality rate in patients undergoing percutanous transhepatic biliary drainage for malignant obstructive jaundice remained high.This study aimed to assess pre-,intra-and post-procedure risk factors which were independently associated with increased in-hospital mortality.Methods One hundred and fifty-five consecutive patients with malignant obstructive jaundice received initial PTBD drainage.Twenty-five pre-procedure,4 intra-procedure and 6 post-procedure factors potentially related with in-hospital mortality were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results In-hospital mortality rate was 16.8% (26/155).Of 25 pre-procedure variables analysed,Child-Pugh classification C,creatinine (≥ 6.93 μmol/L) and quality of life (≤ 30) were found to be significant in univariate and multivariate analysis.Increased mortality was seen in this study with two or more risk factors,significantly different from patients who had none or one risk factor(P <0.01).None of the intra-procedure factors were important in identifying patients at risk of death.Multivariate analysis indicated post-PTBD cholangitis and unsuccessful drainage as post-procedure risk factors that correlated with in-hospital death.Conclusions Three pre-procedure and two post-procedure risk factors were identified associated with in-hospital mortality.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the correlation between relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and tumor character of meningiomas. Methods Thirty-six (GradeⅠ: n=30, GradeⅡ+Ⅲ: n=6) patients with meningioma underwent conventional MR and perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) . The pulse sequence of PWI was single shot GRE-EPI-T2~*WI. The CBV maps were calculated from the original data of perfusion images and the maximum rCBV of meningiomas was acquired from CBV maps through measurement on the region of interest (ROI). The differences of rCBV in tumor and edema between benign and malignant tumors were analyzed. Results The mean rCBV in tumor of benign meningioma (9.78±4.69) was higher than that of malignant ones (3.59±0.28) (t=7.168, P0.05). Conclusion CBV map and quantitative study of rCBV are feasible for differential diagnosis of meningiomas and have instructive function for clinical treatment and assessment of prognosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the correlative factors affecting the short-term prognosis in treating malignant obstructive jaundice with percutaneous transhepatie biliary drainage (PTBD) and/or percutaneous transhepatic biliary stenting (PTBS). Methods During the period of December 2008-June 2009, PTBD and/or PTBS were performed in 67 patients. The clinical date were reviewed and analyzed. According to the reduction degree of serum bilirubin and survival condition in 30 days, the patients were divided into effective group (54 cases) and ineffective group (13 cases). Single factor affecting the short-term prognosis was analyzed by using X~2 test and multi-factors were analyzed by using non-conditional logistic regression mode. Results Single variable analysis showed that time of obstruction, way of drainage, preoperative biliary infection, Child-Pugh grade, TBIL, HGB and Cr level were of statistical significance. The logistic regression analysis showed that there were obvious correlation among preoperative biliary infection, Child-grade ≥ 11 and Cr > 115 μmol/L. Conclusion The infection of the bile duct before operation, Child-grade ≥ 11 and Cr >115μmol/L carry a close relationship with the short-term prognosis of PTBD and PTBS. Therefore, an overall preoperative evaluation for malignant obstructive jaundice is of great importance.

Objective To evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy and complications of placement vena cava filter in prevention of pulmonary embolism. Methods Seventy-three patients with proven diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and (or) pulmonary embolism (PE) by Doppler ultrasonography, DSA, CT or MRI, received percutaneous inferior vena cava filters (IVCF) from January 1994 to June 2005. The clinical data and imaging findings were evaluated retrospectively. The patients underwent telephone interview or questionnaire, abdominal X-rays, Doppler ultrasonography, computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) or indirect CT venography (CTV) after a follow-up duration of 5 months to 11 years. Results Seventy-eight vena cava filters were used. There was 1 case of incomplete filter opening when placing filter. In follow-up, thrombi were trapped in the filter in 2 cases, filter tilting happened in 1 case, and there were no filter migration, filter disruption, filter perforation. Five of 73 cases were lost in follow-up visit, 14 patients died after implantation (5 days to 41 months, average 14.5 months). Among the 54 living patients, the identified recurrent PE was not noted. Three cases of recurrent DVT, 1 case of inferior vena caval thrombosis and 1 case of thrombosed filters were seen in follow- up. Conclusion Inferior veua cava filter is safe and effective for the long-term prevention pulmonary embolism, and the long-term major complications after filter placement are not frequent.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the anatomic characteristics of the infraorbital ethmoid cells on muhislice CT(MSCT)and explore the relationship between the infraobital ethmoid cells and mueosal swelling of sinuses.Methods Two hundred sixty patients(520 sides) of consecutive axial scans by GE HisDeed VCT and the multiplunar reformation(MPR),virtual endoscopy(VE)reconstruction images by GE AW 4.2 workstation were reviewed retrospectively.The following CT features were assessed:(1)the anatomic characteristics of the infraobital ethmoid ceils,including the frequency of identification,origin,classification.(2)presence of mucosal swelling of sinuses,(3)the maximal transversal diameter of the inflraobital ethmoid cells in ostium of maxillary sinus(perpendicular to the uncinate process),and the diameter of the ostium of maxillary sinus,(4)presence of infraobital ethmoid ceils inflammatory findings and a contact between the mucosal surface of the ostium of maxillary sinus.The results were analyzed by using Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis with the statistical software SPSS 11.5.Results (1) UniLateral infraobital ethmoid cells were f10und in 68 patients(26.1%),and bilateral infraobital ethmoid cells were found in 81 patients(31.2%).Infraobital ethmoid ceHs were found in 230 sides on left Bide (120 sides)and right side(110 sides).(2)Infraobital ethmoid cells originated from the anterior ethmoid cells in 124 sides(53.9%)and from posterior ethmoidal cells in 62 sides(27%),originated from both the anterior ethmoidal cells and the posterior ethmoidal cells in 44 sides(19.1%).(3)The classification of the infraobital ethmoid cells included three types.Infraobital ethmoid cells with different origination differed significantly in theirtypes(x2=193.433,P<0.01).Most ofthe infraobital ethmoid cells originated from tlle anterior ethmoidal cells were type Ⅰ(160 sides),while the type Ⅱ(48 sides)and Ⅲ(45 sides) frequently originated from the posterior ethmoidal ceHs(4)The mueosal swelling of sinuses,were found in 165 sides in presence of infraobtial ethmoid cells and 192 sides in absence of infraobtial ethmoid cells.The presence of infraobtial ethmoid cells had no effect on mucosal swelling(X2=1.824,P>0.05).The maximal transversal diameter of the infraobital ethmoid cells in ostium of maxillary sinus did not differ significantly between the cases with or without mucosal swelling of sinuses(t=0.273,P>0.05).and the diameter of the ostium of maxillary sinus were not significantly related with mucosal swelling of sinuse8 (Wald=2.534,P>0.05).Presence of infraobital ethmoid cells inflammatory findings (Wald=10.817. P<0.01,OR=4.125)and a contact between the mucosal surface of the ostium of maxillary sinus (Wald= 6.640,P<0.01,OR=3.728)were significantly related to mucosal swelling of 8inuses. Conclusions (1)MSCT scan could clearly demonstrate the detailed information of infraobital ethmoid ceIIs.(2)The presence of infraobtial ethmoid cells Was not a risk factor for chronics sinusitis. When we assess inflraobtial ethmoid cells as a possible etiologic factor in chronics sinusitis we should observe presence of infraobital ethmoid cells inflammatory findings and a contact between the mucosal surface of the ostium of maxillary sinud.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To analyze MRI features of neurogenic bladder caused by tethered spinal cord. Methods MRI manifestations of 22 patients with neurogenic bladder due to tethered spinal cord were retrospectively analyzed.Results & Conclusion MRI can display the position of the spinal cord and the cause of tethered cord syndrome. Spinal deformations can also be displaied clearly. The characteristic signs of neurogenic bladder due to tethered spinal cord were the lower position of medullary cone (below L1~L2) and localized thickening or protrusion of the bladder wall.
