Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of vitreo-retinal surgery on oclular siderosis. Methods The clinical data of 22 patinets (22 eyes) with ocular siderosis due to the magnetic foreign body at intraocular postsegment were retrospectively analyzed. The patients aged from 6 to 54 years (average 40 years), including 21 males and 1 femal. The duration of the magnetic foreign body remained in the eye lasted for 1 month to 20 years. The preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was ＜0.01 in 15 eyes, 0.01-0.15 in 5 eyes and 0.1-0.2 in 2 eyes. There was Intra-vitreous foreign body in 18 eyes and ocular wall embedded foreign body in 4 eyes; intraocular foreign body (IOFB) combined with cataract in 18 eyes; combined with retinal detachment in 3 eyes; scleral buckling combined with silicon oil filled in 12 eyes and C3F8 filled in 7 eyes. Cataract extraction was performed in 12 eyes, and 2 eyes underwent filtrating surgery. Results The IOFB was successfully removed by one-off surgery in 22 eyes. BCVA increased in 20 eyes (90.9％) and kept unchanged in 2 eyes (9.1%), including＜0.1 in 7 eyes, 0.1-0.4 in 8 eyes, and 0.5-1.0 in 7 eyes. Operative complications involved retinal holes with retinal detachment in 2 eyes and vitreous haemorrhage secondary to enlarge sclera incision in 2 eyes. Postoperative complications included secondary cataract in 4 eyes, retinal detachment due to silicon oil removal 3 months after submacular removal of foreign body in 1 eye, and retinal detachment 7 days after C3F8 filling in 1 eye; the latter two eyes had reattached retina after another silicon oil filling. At the end of the follow-up period, retina reattached in 22 eyes. Conclusion Advanced modern vireoretinal operation is effective on oclular siderosis, which can avoid the release of Fe+ and improve the patientsprime; visual function.
Objective To evaluate the effect of regiono-perfusional chemotherapy of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and to seek the management of its complications. MethodsThirty-six patients with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma received selectively intra-arterial catheterization and perfused with 5-Fu, ADM, DDP. Results Six patients had complete response, 15 partial response, and one underwent radical resection subsequently. Cmplications occurred in 14 patients with 2 patients died of complications.Conclusion Regiono-perfusional chemotherapy of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is effective, but the complications can not be neglected.
Objectives To evaluate the effect of preoperative body mass index (BMI) on the perioperative and long-term results in esophageal squamous cell cancer patients. Method We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 503 patients with esophageal cancer between January 2001 and December 2009. There were 268 males and 235 females with the median age of 57 years ranging from 32-88 years. The associations between preoperative BMI and clinic patholo-gical characteristics were assessed by using the χ2 or Fisher's exact test. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier curves with log-rank tests. ResultsThe 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year overall survival rate for the entire cohort of patients was 64.0%, 49.0%, 43.0%, and 41.0% respectively. The occurance rates of weight loss, lymph node metastases, and poorly differentiated tumorigenesis represented statistically higher in patients with BMI≤18.5 kg/m2 than those in the patients with BMI>18.5 kg/m2 (P=0.026, P=0.006, P=0.048). For the cohort, the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a significant trend toward a decreased survival in esophageal cancer patients with underweight (P=0.001). No statistical difference in overall complication, anastomotic leakage, and pulmonary complication rate was detected among the different BMI classes(P=0.162, P=0.590, P=0.376). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the drinking status, pathological stage, and underweight were the independent prognostic factors. ConclusionsAfter esophagectomy, BMI is not associated with the incidence of postoperative complications in patients. Patients with underweight are usually diagnosed with advanced stage, therefore tend to have poorer survivals than those with normal or over-weight.
【摘要】 目的 探讨颅脑损伤(BI)死亡的法医病理学特点,以及继发性脑干损伤、并发症的发生与死亡之间的因果关系。方法 从性别、年龄、致伤方式、损伤类型、生存时间、死亡原因等方面,对四川大学华西法医学鉴定中心1998年1月-2008年12月127例BI死亡尸检案例进行回顾性统计研究分析。结果 127例法医病理学检案中,原发性BI死亡51例(402%),继发性脑干损伤死亡61例(480%),并发症死亡15例(118%),其中伤后12 h内死亡者直接死因均为严重原发性脑损伤,存活12 h～1周者直接死因以继发性脑干损伤居多,生存时间超过1周者约半数死于并发症。结论 在BI案例的死亡原因确定时,应在全面系统的病理学检验基础上,结合案情及临床资料进行综合分析。【Abstract】 Objective To explore the characteristics of forensic pathology in traumatic brain injury and the relationships between secondary brainstem damage, complications and the causes of death. Methods 127 cases were reviewed from gender, age, manner of injury, survival time and the direct causes of death from January 1998 to December 2008. Results Of the 127 cases, the key direct cause of death was secondary brainstem damage, followed by severe primarily brain injury and complications. For those who died within 12 hours after injury, the direct cause was severe primarily brain injury; for those who survived between 12 hours to one week, secondary brainstem damage was in the majority of the causes and for those who survive more than one week time, complication was an important cause. Conclusion In the cases of traumatic brain injury, we should take comprehensive and systematic examination of forensic pathology, and refer to clinical data at the same time to determine the direct cause of death.
