    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To evaluate whether total splenic artery embolization (TSAE) for patients with hypersplenism delivers better long-term outcomes than partial splenic embolization (PSE).METHODS:Sixty-one patients with hypersplenism eligible for TSAE (n =27,group A) or PSE (n =34,group B) were enrolled into the trial,which included clinical and computed tomography follow-up.Data on technical success,length of hospital stay,white blood cell (WBC)and platelet (PLT) counts,splenic volume and complications were collected at 2 wk,6 mo,and 1,2,3,4 years postoperatively.RESULTS:Both TSAE and PSE were technically successful in all patients.Complications were significantly fewer (P =0.001),and hospital stay significantly shorter (P =0.007),in group A than in group B.Postprocedure WBC and PLT counts in group A were significantly higher than those in group B from 6 mo to 4 years (P =0.001),and post-procedure residual splenic volume in group A was significantly less than that observed in group B at 1,2,3 and 4 years post-procedure (P =0.001).No significant differences were observed in red blood cell counts and liver function parameters between the two groups following the procedure.CONCLUSION:Our results indicate that TSAE for patients with hypersplenism not only delivers a better longterm outcome,but is also associated with lower complication rates and a shorter hospital stay than PSE.

    查看更多>>摘要:A desmoid tumor,also known as aggressive fibromatosis,is a rare benign neoplasm that arises from fascial or musculoaponeurotic tissues.It can occur in any anatomical location,most commonly the abdominal wall,shoulder girdle and retroperitoneum.The typical clinical presentation is a painless mass with a slow and progressive invasion of contiguous structures.It is associated with a high local recurrence rate after resection.Many issues regarding the optimal treatment of desmoid tumors remain controversial.Aggressive surgical resection with a wide margin (2-3 cm) remains the gold standard treatment with regard to preserving quality of life.Radiotherapy alone has been shown to be effective for the control of unresectable or recurrent lesions.Desmoid tumors tend to be locally infiltrative,therefore,the fields must be generous to prevent marginal recurrence.The radiation dose appropriate for treating desmoid tumors remains controversial.We present a 25-year-old Caucasian man with local recurrence of a desmoid tumor after repeated surgical resection,treated with radiotherapy.The patient achieved complete tumor regression at 4 mo after radiotherapy,and he is clinically free of disease at 12 mo after the end of treatment,with an acceptable quality of life.The patient developed short bowel syndrome as a complication of second surgical resection.Consequently,radiotherapy might have worsened an already present malabsorption and so led to steatohepatitis.

    查看更多>>摘要:Rectal perforations due to glycerin enemas (GE) typically occur when the patient is in a seated or lordotic standing position.Once the perforation occurs and peritonitis results,death is usually inevitable.We describe two cases of rectal perforation and fistula caused by a GE.An 88-year-old woman presented with a large rectal perforation and a fistula just after receiving a GE.Her case was further complicated by an abscess in the right rectal wall.The second patient was a 78-year-old woman who suffered from a rectovesical fistula after a GE.In both cases,we performed direct endoscopic abscess lavage with a saline solution and closed the fistula using an over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) procedure.These procedures resulted in dramatic improvement in both patients.Direct endoscopic lavage and OTSC closure are very useful for pararectal abscess lavage and fistula closure,respectively,in elderly patients who are in poor general condition.Our two cases are the first reports of the successful endoscopic closure of fistulae using double OTSCs after endoscopic lavage of the debris and an abscess of the rectum secondary to a GE.

    查看更多>>摘要:Molecular profiling of gene expression is important for determining signatures in cancer progression and diagnosis.For this purpose,polymerase chain reactionbased techniques are preferentially used as a feasible and sensitive approach.Nevertheless,when relative quantitative analyses are performed on gene expression,the interpretation of mathematical equations must be carefully done.This letter to the editor is focused on recently published gene expression data in World Journal of Gastroenterology by Ozmen et al demonstrating increased levels of LYVE-1,VEGFR-3 and CD44 genes in gastric cancer samples compared to nonneoplastic gastric tissues.However,there are major concerns about misinterpretation of the gene expression data obtained with the 2-△△ct relative quantitative method.In the study,2-△△Ct values calculated for many samples were smaller than 1 (2-△△ct < 1) which indicate decreased levels of LYVE-1,VEGFR-3 and CD44 gene expression in the gastric cancer tissues.This unfortunate mistake is an important example showing how a simple error in the interpretation of relative-quantitative gene expression data may result in misleading scientific conclusions.In this letter,a brief explanation of the 2-△△ct method is given.In addition,the importance of technical quality and interpretation in gene expression studies is discussed.
