Imaging diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors / 中国实用外科杂志

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms(pNENs)are a group of tumors that originate from stem cells and have neuroendocrine markers and are capable of producing biologically active amines and/or polypeptide hormones with significant heterogeneity.With advances in endoscopic and imaging techniques and improved diagnostic levels,the detection rate of the pNENs has increased.But at present,there is still easy to be misdiagnosed and missed because of insufficient understanding of the pNENs.Therefore,early diagnosis which by understanding the imaging features and using the effective imaging methods has great significance for improving prognosis.

Mid-term follow-up and clinical efficacy of total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis patients with Parkinson's disease / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate clinical efficacy and experience of total knee arthroplasty in treating knee osteoarthritis patients with Parkinson's disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 2011 to January 2014, 19 knee osteoarthritis patients with Parkinson's disease treated with total knee arthroplasty were collected. Among them, including 9 males and 10 females aged from 61 to 83 years old with an average of 71.3 years old. Radiology results were checked before and after operation. VAS score and KSS score were applied to evaluate clinical effects. Patients were classified according to HoehnYahr grade, 3 cases in grade 1, 4 cases in grade 1.5, 2 cases in grade 2, 4 cases in grade 2.5, 2 cases in grade 3 and 1 case in grade 4.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Nineteen patients were followed up from 3 to 7 years with an average of 4.3 years. The pain of patients was significantly reduced or disappeared. All incisions were healed at stage I. At the latest follow-up, 3 patients had knee pain, and mild pain in 1 patient, moderate in 1 patient without severe pain. VAS score was reduced from preoperative 8.4±1.3 to the latest follow-up 3.1±1.2, the difference was statistically significant (0.05). KSS score improved from 43.6±7.3 before operation to 91.8±10.6 after operation. The condition of Parkinson's were controlled by medicine. No loosening and subsidence of prosthesis by X-ray examination.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Total knee arthroplasty is a safe and effective method for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and has satisfactory mid-term clinical effect.</p>

Efficacy analysis on hip replacement for hip-joint diseases with Parkinson disease / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore clinical efficacy of hip replacement for hip-joint diseases with Parkinson disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From December 2011 to December 2016, 18 patients with hip-joint diseases with Parkinson disease treated by hip replacement, including 8 males and 10 females aged from 59 to 87 years old with an average of 71 years old. Among them, 3 cases were developmental dysplasia of hip, 3 cases were femoral head necrosis and 12 cases were femoral neck fracture. All patients manifested with obvious pain and limitation of stepping ability. Postoperative complications were observed and Harris score were used to compare hip joint function after operation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The incision were healed well, and pain were alleviated or disappeared, and hip joint function were improved. Eighteen patients were followed up from 1 to 3 years with an average of 2.3 years. At the latest follow up, 14 cases recovered freedom-walk, 2 cases could walk with walking stick, 1 case could walk with walking aid and 1 case was died. Among 18 patients, 2 cases were occurred dislocation, and 1 case were died for cardiac disease at 3 months after operation. Four patients were occurred slight pain. There were significant differences in Harris scores among preoperative (41.7±1.4), 6 months after operation(80.1±5.4) and the final follow-up (83.4±2.1), and 10 cases got excellent result, 4 good, 1 fair and 2 poor.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Application of hip replacement for hip-joint diseases with Parkinson disease is a safe and effective clinical therapy, and has advantages of less complications and rapid recovery of hip joint function.</p>
