ABSTRACT
Lograr determinar el volumen total de un hígado (VHT), o volumetría hepática, pasa a ser de relevancia en diversas situaciones, tales como, vigilancia del progreso de una enfermedad de carácter crónico, planificación de resecciones y trasplantes hepáticos; y observación del clearance hepático de algunos fármacos hepatotropos. La VHT se puede realizar utilizando métodos de segmentación en el curso de una tomografía computarizada (TC), ya sean estos manual, automáticos, y semiautomáticos; mediante resonancia nuclear (RN), utilizando softwares de distintas generaciones (1ª a 4ª). La medición de VHT está indicada en pacientes sometidos a resecciones hepáticas mayores, en el contexto del tratamiento de neoplasias (carcinoma hepatocelular, colangiocarcinoma, metástasis hepáticas o tumores benignos de gran tamaño), abscesos (piogénicos, amebianos), y después de un traumatismo hepático complejo; así como también en la etapa preoperatoria de un trasplante hepático. El objetivo de este manuscrito fue generar un documento de estudio sobre métodos para determinar volumetría hepática.
SUMMARY: Being able to determine the total hepatic volume (THV), or THV, becomes relevant in various situations, such as monitoring the progress of a chronic disease, planning resections and liver transplants; and observation of the hepatic clearance of some hepatotropic drugs. THV can be performed using segmentation methods in the course of a computed tomography (CT), whether manual, automatic, or semi-automated; by nuclear resonance (NR), using software from different generations (1st to 4st). THV measurement is indicated in patients undergoing major liver resections, in the context of treatment of neoplasms (hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, liver metastases or large benign tumors), abscesses (pyogenic, amoebic), and after liver trauma complex, as well as in the preoperative stage of a liver transplant. The aim of this manuscript was to generate a study document regarding methods for determine hepatic volumetry.

Objective@#To evaluate diagnostic efficacy of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for extra-hepatic bile duct dilation of unknown reasons which failed to be identified by traditional radiological methods.@*Methods@#Data of consecutive 892 patients who underwent EUS from February 2016 to September 2017 were retrospectively studied. Final diagnosis was determined by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-based biopsy, surgical pathology, or a follow-up of at least 10 months.@*Results@#A total of 82 patients with extra-hepatic bile duct dilation (width ≥ 7 mm) and mean age of 61.5±9.6 years were included. The width of common bile duct was 13.0±4.25 mm. Reasons for extra-hepatic bile duct dilation could be determined by EUS in most patients with abnormal liver function. No malignant causes were detected in patients with normal liver function. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of EUS were 92.7%, 100.0%, 96.3%, 100.0%, and 93.2%, respectively.@*Conclusion@#For patients with dilated extra-hepatic bile duct without clear etiology, EUS may be an alternative for determining the etiology of extra-hepatic bile duct dilation. For those with extra-hepatic bile duct dilation with abnormal liver function, malignant causes should not be neglected.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of clinical application of sedated gastrocolonoscopy,to release distress of patients,improve curative effect.Methods To select 148 patients with gastrointestinal diseases who received gastrocolonoscopy,148 patients were divided into two groups randomly,therapy group 74 patients,control group 74 patients.Results The patients of therapy group had less distress,higher compliance,no adverse reaction.All of patients completed diagnosis successfully.But the patients of control group appeared adverse reactions,including vomiting,restlessness equal.Furthermore 9 patients end manipulate because of this.Conclusion Sedated gastrocolonoscopy versus conventional gastrocolonoscopy had less adverse reactions,higher security,and it should be spread in clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objetivos. Comparar biopsias gástricas fijadas inmediatamente con formol al 10 por ciento frente a biopsias fijadas tras 24 horas en la detección de Helicobacter pylori (Hp) en un hospital de referencia en Perú. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio de test diagnóstico sobre las biopsias gástricas de 72 pacientes que acudieron al Servicio de Gastroenterología del Hospital Essalud Alberto Sabogal en el Callao. Las muestras de cada paciente fueron repartidas en dos frascos de vidrio, una de ellas se fijó inmediatamente con formol al 10 por ciento y a la otra se fijó luego de 24 horas. Se procesaron ambos grupos de muestras con la técnica convencional de inclusión en parafina y coloración con hematoxilina-eosina. Resultados. Se evidenció Hp en 56,9 por ciento del grupo de biopsias fijadas inmediatamente y en el 79,2 por ciento del grupo de biopsias fijadas tras 24 horas, encontrándose diferencia estadística (p<0,001). Conclusiones. Existe una mayor frecuencia de diagnóstico de Hp en las muestras que se fijaron luego de 24 horas; lo que podría sugerir que ello actuaría como un cultivo biológico para Hp que facilitaría su diagnóstico.
Objectives. To compare gastric biopsies immediately fixed with 10 percent formalin with biopsies fixed after 24 hours for the detection of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) in a reference hospital in Peru. Materials and methods. A diagnostic test study on gastric biopsies from 72 patients attending the Gastroenterology service of hospital Essalud Alberto Sabogal in Callao was performed. Samples from each patient were divided into two glass jars, one of which was fixed immediately with 10 percent formalin and the other was fixed after 24 hours. Both groups of samples were processed with the conventional technique of paraffin embedding and staining with hematoxylin-eosin. Results. Hp was found in 56.9 percent of the group of biopsies which were inmediatly fixed and in 79.2 percent of the group of biopsies fixed after 24 hours, showing statistical difference (p <0.001). Conclusions. There is an increased frequency of diagnosis of Hp in the samples that were fixed after 24 hours, which may suggest that this would act as a biological culture for Hp, which would facilitate its diagnosis.

Important developments have been obtained in research for gastric carcinoma with maturity of proteomics technology.The proteomics technology has been used to determine gastric carcinoma specimens such as cell lines,tumor tissues,serum,gastric juice,etc.Achievements have been gained in finding tumor marker and investigating biological behavior of gastric carcinoma as well as other aspects.
ABSTRACT
Clinical symptoms,multi screeming characters and pathological features of 15 cases of FNH were analysed retrospectively.11 cases were treated by operation.The results showed that three quarters(12/15) of the patients were male.Only one third(5/15) of the patients were diagnosed as FNH according to multi screeming of B US,CT and MRI.There were no complications for the 11 cases after operation.The results indicated it is difficult to diagnose FNH only by multi screeming methods.Operation is the best option for the treatment of FNH.
ABSTRACT
To evaluate the clinical application of defecography in irritable bowel syndrome, 14 cases of diarrhoea predominant IBS, 12 cases of constipation predominant IBS and 10 cases of mixed patterns underwent defecography. Thirteen cases showed abnormal IBS (36 11%). The abnormal X ray features of anorectal angle and pelvic floor descent included rectocele, rectal mucosal prolapse, splanchnoptosis, perineum descent and spastic pelvic floor syndrome. Defecography is valuable in the diagnosis and treatment of irritable bowel syndrome
