RESUMO

The aims of this study were to identify the morphological diversities and anatomical variations of pancreatic ductal system and to define the relationships between pancreatic ductal systems, pancreaticobiliary diseases, and procedure-related complications, including post-ERCP pancreatitis. This study included 582 patients in whom both pancreatic duct (PD) and common bile duct were clearly visible by ERCP. PD systems were categorized into four types according to the relationship between common bile duct and PD. In types A and B, Wirsung duct formed the main PD. In type C, Wirsung duct did not form the main PD. If PD system did not fall into any of these three types, it was categorized as type D. The distribution of types among pancreatic ducts examined was as follows: type A: 491 cases (84.4%), type B: 56 cases (9.6%), type C: 20 cases (3.4%), and type D: 15 cases (2.6%). The anomalous anatomic variations of PD systems were divided into migration, fusion, and duplication anomalies. PD anomalies were noted in 51 patients, of which 19 (3.3%) were fusion anomalies (12 complete pancreas divisum, 7 incomplete pancreas divisum), and 32 (5.5%) were duplication anomalies (5 number variations, 27 form variations). No significant relationships between various PD morphologies and pancreaticobiliary diseases were found. However, post- ERCP hyperamylasemia was more frequently found in types C (41.7%), D (50%) and A (19.8%) than in type B (9.4%). In summary, whether Wirsung duct forms the main PD and the presence or absence of the opening of the Santorini duct are both important factors in determining the development of pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia after ERCP.

RESUMO

To compare, in terms of compliance, toxicity, quality of life (QOL) and efficacy, intravenous 5-fluorouracil plus folinic acid with oral tegafur-uracil plus folinic acid as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection in patients with Dukes' stage B2 and C2 colon cancer. Among all patients with adenocarcinoma of the colon operated on between July 1997 and June 1999, 122 with Dukes' stage B2 or C2 colon cancer were enrolled in this study. Fifty-three patients were treated with intravenous 5-fluorouracil plus folinic acid (5-FU group) and 69 with oral tegafur-uracil plus folinic acid (UFT group). Compliance, toxicity, QOL and efficacy were evaluated. Compared with the 5-FU group, patients in the UFT group experienced a lower incidence of grade 1 toxicity. The incidences of grade 2-4 toxicity were similar in the two treatment groups. However, severe toxicity (grade 3 or 4) was rare in both groups. A steady and significant increase of the QOL score, both during and after therapy, was evident in both groups suggesting that chemotherapy is quite tolerable and does not deteriorate the patients' QOL. At the median follow-up duration of 28 months, the survival rate and disease free survival rate for the UFT and 5-FU groups were 94.9% vs. 92.5% and 87.5% vs. 84.1%, respectively (p > 0.05). These data suggest that oral tegafur-uracil modulated with oral folinic acid as an adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with Dukes' stage B2 and C2 colon cancer may be a good alternative to infusional 5- fluorouracil.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The advent of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) has made it possible to identify the pancreatic ductal (PD) system. There is no established relationship between the PD system and various pancreaticobiliary diseases. The purpose of this study was to identify the morphological diversities and anatomical variations of PD and to define the relationship between PD types and pancreaticobiliary diseases. METHODS: Five hundred and eighty-two consecutive patients, in whom both PD and common bile duct (CBD) were clearly visualized by ERCP, were included. PD types were categorized according to the relationship between CBD and PD. The anatomical variations were classified into migration, fusion, and duplication anomalies. RESULTS: The PD types were classified into type A 84.4%, type B 9.6%, type C 3.4%, and type D 2.6%. The PD anomalies were noted in 51 patients, which were comprised of 19 (3.3%) fusion anomalies (12 complete pancreas divisum, 7 incomplete pancreas divisum) and 32 (5.5%) duplication anomalies (5 number variations, 27 form variations). No significant relationships between various PD morphologies and pancreaticobiliary diseases were found. Hyperamylasemia was more frequently complicated in type C (41.7%) and D (50%) than in type A and B after ERCP. CONCLUSIONS: Though a close relationship was not found between various PD types and pancreaticobiliary diseases, being familiar with the morphology and anatomical variation is worth it, for more accurate interpretation and for prediction of a complication such as pancreatitis.

RESUMO

There have been few case reports on the association of vocal cord palsy and pulmonary hypertension in a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patient. Most cases had left vocal cord palsy caused by compression of left recurrent laryngeal nerve secondary to pulmonary hypertension, and only two cases in the literature were caused by vasculitis or inflammation of the right recurrent laryngeal nerve not related to pulmonary hypertension. Recently, we have experienced a 23-year-old female patient who presented hoarseness and multiple joint pain. She was diagnozed as SLE and left vocal cord palsy, and echocardiographic examination demonstrated enlargement of right atrium, right ventricle, and elevated right ventricular pressure (systolic pressure 47mmHg). She took high-dose glucocorticoid and calcium channel blocker. About one month later, there was significant improvement of hoarseness, arthritis, and cardiomegaly, and showed improvement of the left vocal cord palsy on the laryngoscopic examination. We report a case of left vocal cord palsy and pulmonary hypertension accompanied by SLE who experienced improvement of hoarseness after steroid treatment.

RESUMO

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease of unknown etiology in which tissues and cells are damaged by pathogenic autoantibodies and immune complexes. Optic neuritis in SLE is very rare and the prevalence can be estimated to be approximately 1% of the patients of SLE. The main pathogenesis of optic neuritis with SLE is that of a vaso-occlusive disease in small vessels and the histopathologic appearance has varied from demyelination to definite vascular disease with axonal necrosis. The visual outcome of optic neuritis in SLE has often been poor. The treatments of optic neuritis in SLE are intravenous methylprednisolone, immunosuppressive agents and plasmapheresis. The authors experienced a case of lupus nephritis and CNS lupus which was complicated by optic neuritis in 18-year-old female patient who complained of sudden visual disturbance of the both eyes After treatment with plasmapheresis and systemic corticosteroid, her visual deficit was gradually recovered.
