AIM:To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of endoscopic obliteration with Histoacryl for treatment of gastric variceal bleeding and prophylaxis.METHODS:Between January 1994 and March 2010 at SoonChunHyang University Hospital,a total of 127 patients with gastric varices received Histoacryl injections endoscopically.One hundred patients underwent endoscopic Histoacryl injections because of variceal bleeding,the other 27 patients received such injections as a prophylactic procedure.RESULTS:According to Sarin classification,56 patients were GOV1,61 patients were GOV2 and 10 patients were IGV.Most of the varices were large(F2 or F3,111 patients).The average volume of Histoacryl per each session was 1.7±1.3 cc and mean number of sessions was 1.3±0.6.(1 session-98 patients,2 sessions-25 patients,≥3 sessions-4 patients).Twenty-seven patients with high risk of bleeding(large or fundal or RCS+or Child C) received Histoacryl injection as a primary prophylactic procedure.In these patients,hepatitis B virus was the major etiology of cirrhosis,25 patients showed GOV1 or 2(92.6%)and F2 or F3 accounted for 88.9%(n=24).The rate of initial hemostasis was 98.4%and recurrent bleeding within one year occurred in 18.1%of patients.Successful hemostasis during episodes of rebleeding was achieved in 73.9%of cases.Median survival was 50 mo (95%CI 30.5-69.5).Major complications occurred in 4 patients(3.1%).The rebleeding rate in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or GOV2 was higher than in those with other conditions.None of the 27 subjects who were treated prophylactically experienced treatment-related complications.Cumulative survival rates of the 127 patients at 6 mo,1,3,and 5 years were 92.1%,84.2%,64.2%,and 45.3%,respectively.The 6 mo cumulative survival rate of the 27 patients treated prophylactically was 75%.CONCLUSION:Histoacryl injection therapy is an effective treatment for gastric varices and also an effective prophylactic treatment of gastric varices which carry high risk of bleeding.

Acoustic radiation force imaging sonoelastography for noninvasive staging of liver fibrosis

AIM:To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging as a noninvasive method for the assessment of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients.METHODS:We performed a prospective blind com-parison of ARFI elastography,APRI index and FibroMax in a consecutive series of patients who underwent liver biopsy for CHC in University Hospital Bucharest. His-topathological staging of liver fibrosis according to the METAVIR scoring system served as the reference. A to-tal of 74 patients underwent ARFI elastography,APRI index,FibroMax and successful liver biopsy. RESULTS:The noninvasive tests had a good correlation with the liver biopsy results. The most powerful test in predicting fibrosis was ARFI elastography. The diagnostic accuracy of ARFI elastography,expressedas area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) had a validity of 90.2% (95% CI AUROC = 0.831-0.972,P < 0.001) for the diagnosis of significant f ibrosis (F ≥ 2). ARFI sonoelastography predicted even better F3 or F4 fibrosis (AUROC = 0.993,95% CI = 0.979-1).CONCLUSION:ARFI elastography had very good accuracy for the assessment of liver fibrosis and was superior to other noninvasive methods (APRI Index,FibroMax) for staging liver fibrosis.

Male Breast Cancer:10-Year Experience at Mansoura University Hospital in Egypt

Objective Male breast cancer （MBC） is a rare disease representing less than 1% of all malignancies. The objective of the study is to report clinicopathological characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes of MBC in Mansoura University Hospital, Egypt. Methods This retrospective study focused on male breast cancer patients during 10 years （2000-2009）. The studied variables were data regarding general characteristics of patients, treatment modalities and survival. Results The series included 37 patients （0.8% of all breast cancer）. The median age was 57.7 years （range： 26-86 years）. The main clinical complaint was a mass beneath the areola ill 94.5% of the cases. Most patients had a locally advanced disease. 94.5% of tumors were invasive duct carcinomas. The treatment was essentially surgery in 91.8%, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy （in 89.2%）, hormonal therapy （in 56.7%） and chemotherapy （in 91.8%）. Follow-up period ranged from 6-115 months. Local recurrence occurred in 4 cases and metastasis in 11 cases. The 2-year and 5-year overall survival （OS） rates were 81.6% and 60.5%, respectively. The 2-year and 5-year disease-free survival （DFS） rates were 68.4%, and 52.6%, respectively. OS was not significantly affected by any of the studied parameters. Factors influencing DFS were： T stage （P=0.05）, positive lymph nodes （P=0.043）, metastasis （P=0.004）, and chemotherapy （1＇=0.046）. Conclusions MBC is a rare disease and often diagnosed at a locally advanced stage. The management of male and female breast carcinoma is identical. Future research for better understanding of this disease is needed to improve the management and prognosis of male breast cancer patients.

Giant phyllodes tumor of the breast:a case report

Objective： The aim of the study was to report a case with a giant phyllodes tumor of the left breast and discuss the diagnostic and management challenges. Methods： A 47-year-old female patient was admitted to our center （Department of General Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital, Luzhou Medical College, China） due to a large left breast mass for about 2.5 years. Core tissue biopsy showed mixed epithelial-stromal proliferation suggestive of a phyllodes tumor. Left modified radical mastectomy with dissection of level Ⅰ and level Ⅱ lymph nodes was performed. Results： The pathologic findings of this proce- dure were consistent with borderline phyllodes tumor. The tumor measured 47.5 cm× 37,0 cm× 28.0 cm and weighed 9.79 kg ex vivo. Conclusion： To our knowledge, this patient presented one of the biggest phyllodes tumors of breast in all cases reported in English-language publications so far.

Predictors of Performance of the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific （MAAP） in the OIC Navigational Watch Licensure Examination

Abstract： The study aimed to assess the predictors of performance administered by the Philippine Regulation Commission （PRC） in the licensure examination of Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific （MAAP） for Academic Year 2007-2011. Specifically, this also aimed to answer the following questions： demographic profile of the maritime graduates, the college related factors, administrative related factors, the level of scholastic achievement of the graduates, and the performance of the graduates in the licensure examination. A total of one hundred seventy three （173） graduates of MAAP from Class 2007-2011 were utilized as the respondents for the study. The study found out that the results of pre board examination and scholastic achievement of the graduates had significant effect on the performance of the graduates in O.I.C Navigational Watch Licensure Examination. Other variables found out to have no significant effect on the result of the licensure examination of the graduates. Therefore, the null hypotheses that the demographic profile of the graduates, college related factors, and administrative related factors has no significant effect on scholastic the achievement of the students were accepted. However, the null hypothesis that scholastic achievement of the students has no significant effect on the performance in maritime licensure examination was rejected. The same way, the null hypothesis that the demographic profile of the graduates, college related factors and the administrative related factors has no significant effect on the performance in Officer in Charge--Navigational Watch licensure Examination were accepted.

Impact of gender on outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Backgound The influence of gender on clinical outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation （TAVI） was considerably discrepant in previous studies. We aimed to investigate the impact of gender in our registry. Methods The study is a retrospective observational analysis of a prospectively designed cohort （546 consecutive patients treated at the University Hospital Zurich who were enrolled in Swiss TAVI Cohort from May 2008 to April 2014）. The Study took place in University Heart Centre at University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. Results Both genders were equally represented with 51.5 % （n = 281） of the populations being females, who were significantly older and had a more pronounced history of hypertension （P 〈 0.001 ）. Males on the other hand showed a higher incidence of diabetes （P = 0.004）, coronary artery disease （P 〈 0.001）, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （P 〈 0.001） and renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy （P = 0.018）. Patients were followed up for a median of 391 days with a 100% complete follow-up at one year. The primary outcome （all-cause mortality） occurred in 6.8% （n = 37） and 15% （n = 82） of patients at 30 days and one year, respectively. The 30-day all-cause mortality outcome did not significantly differ between females （7.5%） and males （6.0%） （P = 0.619）, but one year all-cause mortality occurred significantly more in males than in females （18.7% vs. 11.7%, P 〈 0.037）. Conclusion After TAVI implantation for severe aortic stenosis, males have a less favorable long-term （one year） mortality outcome than females.

Commercial Applications of Paraxylene Adsorbents RAX-2000A and RAX-3000

The RAX series paraxylene （PX） adsorbents RAX-2000A and RAX-3000, are developed by the Sinopec Re- search Institute of Petroleum Processing （RIPP） and manufactured by the Sinopec Catalyst Company. Performance test of RAX-2000A showed that the average purity of the PX product reached 99.81%, with an average PX yield of 98.6% per pass. The new generation of PX adsorbents, RAX-3000 not only retains most advantages of the adsorbent RAX-2000A, but also has higher selective adsorption capacity by at least 8%. The actual unit production capability of the adsorbent RAX- 3000 was increased by about 18%. The RAX series PX adsorbents exhibited good adaptability to unfavorable feedstock containing high ethyl benzene （EB） fraction besides their better mechanical strength. Preliminary test results indicated that compared to the adsorbent RAX-2000A, the A/Fa and D/F relating to the adsorbent RAX-3000 were notably decreased due to the hi^her selective adsorotion canacitv of the adsorbent RAX-3000.
