According to the comprehensive analysis of seism data, well log, core observation and experimental data, this kind of clastic rock is composed of pebblestone-cobblestone, microconglomerate, sand conglomerate, medium-coarse grained sandstone and fine-sandstone. According to the clast composition, sedimentary texture, structure and rock type, 3 kinds of sediment facies can be recognized ie the mixed accumulation-conglomerate dominated debris flow, pebblestone-cobblestone dominated gradient flow and sandstone dominated braided stream. Vertically, the bottom gradient current deposit and top braided stream deposit form fining-upward sediment sequence, and the debris flow deposit distributes in them at random. The sedimentary feature of coarse grain clastic of Guantao formation in Shuyi area is accordant with proximal wet alluvial fan deposited in wet climate at foreland and this kind of alluvial fan is different from the traditional one.展开更多

Methods The data on abdominal lymph node metastasis in 164 patients who had undergone resection of thoracic esophageal carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively and grouped according to tumor position in the upper, middle, or lower thoracic esophagus. The dif erence in tumor infiltration depth, dif erentiation degree, pathological type, pathological stage, and the metastasis rate in abdominal lymph nodes among the three groups was evaluated and the correlation of abdominal lymph node metastasis with tumor infiltra-tion depth, dif erentiation degree, and pathological type was analyzed. Results Clinical characteristics such as tumor infiltration depth, dif erentiation degree, pathological type, and pathological stage were not significantly dif erent between the patients with upper, middle, and lower thoracic esophageal carcinomas. Although there was a dif erence in the metastasis rate in abdominal lymph nodes between the three groups (6.9%, 27.4%, and 39.6% for the upper, middle, and lower thoracic esophageal carcinomas, respectively), it was not statistical y significant. There was also no association between the rate of abdominal lymph node metastasis and tumor infiltration depth, dif erentiation degree, and pathological type. Conclusion Esophageal carcinoma specifical y metastasizes into lymph nodes. If the tumor infiltrates the upper thoracic submucosa, it could metastasize down to abdominal lymph nodes via the lymphatic cap-il ary net. The majority of esophageal carcinomas were of T1b or higher pathological stage at the diagnosis, indicating infiltration of the submucosa. Thus, tumors of the early stage, high degree of dif erentiation, or position in the upper thoracic esophagus were not less prone to metastasis into abdominal lymph nodes. Therefore, routine abdominal lymph node dissection during radical surgery for esophageal carcinoma is necessary.展开更多

The specific surgical methods are: a nasalspeculum is inserted slowly through the right nostril towards theanterior wall of the sphenoid sinus. A 1.5 cm incision is made intothe nasal mucosa in the right nasal cavity at the level of the middlenasal turbinate. By fracturing the bony septum, a space is formedbetween the bilateral nasal mucosa and the bony septum of thesphenoid sinus. Then, the inside of the sphenoid sinus is exposed.The remaining part of the bony septum, the anterior sphenoidsinus wall, and the sphenoid mucosa are gradually removed. Theanterior sphenoidotomy is less than 1.5 cm wide. After confirmingthe tumor by dural puncture, a cross incision of the dura is made,and the tumor is slowly removed by curette. The sella is usuallycollapsed and visible after the total tumor removal. When thetumor is resected satisfactorily, gelatin sponges are placed into theoperative cavity to stop bleeding.RESULTS Postoperative MRI scans revealed that among the 46cases, total resection of the tumor was achieved in 34 cases andsubtotal in 12. No deaths or disability occurred, and the hormonelevels of almost all patients improved. Signs of diabetes insipidusoccurred in 17, electrolyte disturbances in 5, and there were noreports of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea.CONCLUSION The direct single nostril transsphenoidalapproach of continuous improvement has the advantages ofa convenient approach, simplified operation, safety and highefficiency.展开更多
