Application of endoscopic purse-string sutures with titanium clips and endoloops for the gastric wall defect during endoscopic full-thickness resection / 中国内镜杂志

Objective To study the application value of endoscopic purse-string sutures with titanium clips and endoloops for the gastric wall defect during endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR). Methods Data of iffteen hospitalized patients with gastric submucosal tumor (SMT) undergone EFTR was reviewed. The patients were all applied with endoscopic purse-string sutures with titanium clips and endoloops, which was performed after the EFTR when the gastric walls were perforated artiifcially. Results The gastric tumors were complete successfully resected in the iffteen patients through endoscopic surgery, applied the purse-string sutures with titanium clips and endoloops after the EFTR when the gastric walls were perforated artiifcially. Approximately, ifve clips were utilized on average. Postoperative surgical wound healing was followed up for 6 months, no tumors recurred. Conclusion It is safe, minimally invasive treatment method for rapid rehabilitation in endoscopic full-thickness resection utilized purse-string sutures with titanium clips and endoloops.

Cervical mucinous adenocarcinoma:a pathologic analysis of twenty-one cases / 临床与实验病理学杂志

Purpose To improve the early correct diagnosis and avoid misdiagnosis of cervical mucinous adenocarcinoma.Methods Twenty-one cases of cervical mucinous adenocarcinoma were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively.The expression of CEA and Ki-67 was detected in the tumor by immunohistochemical staining (LABC method).Results Of the twenty-one cases, three cases (14.3%) were missed out, in which one was missed out by TCT and the others by biopsy; four cases (19.0%) were diagnosed by biopsy as adenocarcinoma in situ with invasion not be excluded, and then further confirmed as invasive adenocarcinoma by LEEP; one case (4.8%) was diagnosed as cervicitis at first and was further detected as adenocarcinoma by LEEP; twelve cases (57.1%) were directly diagnosed as adenocarcinoma by biopsy; one case (4.8%) was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma with unknown origin, and then as cervical adenocarcinoma after hysterectomy. Immunohistochemically, ten cases were CEA positive (47.6%) and the expression of Ki-67 was increased (>20%).Conclusions Understanding of the cytologic and histologic features of adenocarcinoma in cervix might improve its early detection and correct diagnosis, so that timely treatment is guaranteed for patients.
