Adult intussusception caused by cystic lymphangioma of the colon:A rare case report

我们经历了结肠的 cys- tic 淋巴管瘤在为血粪的主诉进入我们的医院的 32 岁女性引起的摄取的一个盒子。在 colonoscopic 考试，有有光滑的粘膜表面的梗的膀胱的质量在下降冒号被注意。腹的 ultrasonography 和计算断层摄影术作为一个领先的点与一个多有细胞的囊性瘤揭示了左冒号摄取。突现的手术被动。在组织病理学说的考试上，膀胱的联盟者扩大了含纤维的氏族内皮细胞层和 septated 衬里的空格一是在场的。病理学的诊断是冒号的膀胱的淋巴管瘤。尽管摄取由于在一个成年人的淋巴管瘤是稀罕的，它应该它是可能的诊断的被考虑。

Change in renal function after sodium phosphate preparation for screening colonoscopy

AIM:To investigate the changes in renal function at 12-24 mo in patients following sodium phosphate(NaP) preparation for screening colonoscopy.METHODS:We carried out a retrospective study on the results from patients who received health check-up services as part of an employer-provided wellness program performed between August 2006 and May 2008 and who were followed up for 12-24 mo.Prior to screening colonoscopy,224 patients underwent bowel cleansing with NaP(NaP group) and 113 patients with polyethylene glycol(PEG group).The control group comprised 672 age-matched patients.We compared the changes in the creatinine levels and the glomerular filtration rates(GFRs) from baseline to 12-24 mo between the NaP,PEG,and control groups using two-way repeated measured analysis of variance.In addition,multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to assess the risk factors for a decreased GFR.RESULTS:The baseline mean serum creatinine level in the NaP,PEG,and control groups was 1.12 ± 0.15,1.12 ± 0.16,and 1.12 ± 0.15 mg/dL,which increased to 1.15 ± 0.15,1.15 ± 0.18,and 1.15 ± 0.15 mg/dL,respectively,after 12-24 mo.The baseline mean GFR in the NaP,PEG,and control groups was 69.0 ± 7.7,68.9 ± 8.0,and 69.6 ± 6.7 mL/min per 1.73 m2,which decreased to 66.5 ± 7.8,66.5 ± 8.3,and 67.4 ± 6.4 mL/min per 1.73 m2,respectively,after 12-24 mo.The changes in serum creatinine levels and GFRs were not significantly between the NaP,PEG,and control groups(P = 0.992 and P = 0.233,respectively).Using multivariate linear regression analysis,only the baseline GFR was associated with the change in GFR(P < 0.001).Indeed,the bowel preparations were not associated with the change in GFR(P = 0.297).CONCLUSION:NaP bowel preparation in subjects with normal renal function was not associated with renal injury,and NaP can thus be used safely for screening colonoscopy.

Thyroid peroxidase antibody positivity and triiodothyronine levels are associated with pediatric Graves'ophthalmopathy

Background:Graves'ophthalmopathy(GO)occurs commonly in children with Graves'disease(GD).However,there are limited studies on the clinical manifestations and thyroid autoantibodies in pediatric GO.The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of GO in childhood GD.Methods:Clinical and biochemical data from children and adolescents with GD were retrospectively reviewed.Eighty patients under 19 years of age were included in the present study.We compared the clinical and biochemical differences between patients with and without GO.Results:Thirty-nine percent of the patients had GO,and 81%of the GO patients were females.Of these,two patients showed unilateral GO.Triiodothyronine(T3)levels were higher in GO patients than in those without GO.Anti-thyroglobulin antibody and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody titers were not significantly different between the two groups.Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPO Ab)positivity was 68%in the patients with GO and only 47%in the patients without GO.In multivariate regression analysis,high T3 levels and TPO Ab positivity were related to the presence of GO.Conclusion:In children and adolescents with GD,TPO Ab positivity and high T3 levels could act as predictive factors for the presence of GO.
