The Congress Proper was preceded by aPost-graduate Course entitled "Operative Andrology". Inthe Course, doctors in leading positions gave lectures onthe advanced surgical technologies of andrology. A videounit was available that greatly assisted the participants toget hold of the new knowledge. The following surgicaltechniques were presented: MESA/TESE, vaso-vasosto-my and epididymo-vasostomy, microsurgical subinguinalvaricocelectomy, nerve-sparing retroperitoneal lymphnode dissection, and one-day penile prosthesis surgery. The Congress Proper started on the evening of May展开更多

METHODS:A total of 105 patients underwent radical gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for submucosal gastric cancer at our hospital from January 1995 to December 1995.Besides investigating many clinicopathological features such as tumor size,gross appearance,and differentiation, we measured the depth of invasion into submucosa minutely and analyzed the clinicopathologic features of these patients regarding lymph node metastasis. RESULTS:The rate of lymph node metastasis in cases where the depth of invasion was<500 μm,500-2 000 μm,or >2 000 μm was 9%(2/23),19%(7136),and 33%(15/46), respectively(P<0.05).In univariate analysis,no significant correlation was found between lymph node metastasis and clinicopathological characteristics such as age,sex,tumor location,gross appearance,tumor differentiation,Lauren's classification,and lymphatic invasion.In multivariate analysis, tumor size(>4 cm vs≤2 cm,odds ratio=4.80, P=0.04)and depth of invasion(>2 000 μm vs ≤500 μm, odds ratio=6.81,P=0.02)were significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis.Combining the depth and size in cases where the depth of invasion was less than 500 μm, we found that lymph node metastasis occurred where the tumor size was greater than 4 cm.In cases where the tumor size was less than 2 cm,lymph node metastasis was found only where the depth of tumor invasion was more than 2 000 μm. CONCLUSION:MIS can be applied to submucosal gastric cancer that is less than 2 cm in size and 500 μm in depth.展开更多

The logistic regression revealed that only the severity of preoperative dysphagia (with four levels; mild, moderate, severe, and liquid) was a marginally significant (P=0.0575) predictive factor for postoperative dysphagia.CONCLUSION: The severity of postoperative dysphagia is strongly associated with preoperative dysphagia. Preoperative symptomatology can significantly impact patient outcome.展开更多

文摘目的探讨膀胱软镜镜检术中实时观看操作视频对男性患者术中疼痛的影响。方法 110例符合纳入标准的男性患者在我院接受诊断性或监测性膀胱软镜镜检并随机分为两组:A组患者镜检过程中实时观看膀胱软镜镜检视频,B组患者镜检过程中不观看镜检视频,每组55例患者,均由同一医生进行操作。两组患者在接受膀胱软镜镜检前及实时观看操作视频的过程中都伴有医生解说。镜检术后立即将患者术中痛感记录在视觉模拟疼痛评分(VAS)量表上(0～10分),同时记录呼吸频率及脉率。结果 A组男性患者的疼痛评分较B组降低,差异有统计学意义(1.29±1.20 vs 3.36±2.46,P<0.001)。两组患者术后呼吸频率、脉率差异无统计学意义。结论膀胱软镜镜检术中实时观看操作视频并接受医生讲解可降低男性患者痛感。
