Methods: A 44-year old man present with anemia appearance was admitted to our center (Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Union Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China) due to sustaining melena for five years. Endoscopy found no special mucosal abnormalities in the duodenal lumen. Computed Tomography showed a well-demarcated mass, 7.4 cm in diameter, located between the C loop of duodenum and pancreatic head. Pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy and right hemicolectomy were performed when the patient's general conditions were improved. He recuperated successfully and was discharged on the 21st postoperative day. No complications happened during the period of hospital stay. Results: Histological and immunohistochemical study revealed a high risk invasive duodenal GIST which was positive for CD117, CD34, α-smooth muscle actin and negative for S-100. Conclusion: Duodenal GIST can be a source of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage; surgical treatment is still a reasonable choice for the patients with invasive duodenal GIST.展开更多
Effects of electroacupuncture (EA) and routine acupuncture with twirling reinforcing and reducing manipulation of the needle (RA) both at Zusanli point (St 36) on volume of microcirculatory blood flow in the cerebral ...Effects of electroacupuncture (EA) and routine acupuncture with twirling reinforcing and reducing manipulation of the needle (RA) both at Zusanli point (St 36) on volume of microcirculatory blood flow in the cerebral pia mater were observed by fenestration of the cranial bone and laser Doppler microcirculatory blood flow analyser. Results showed that both RA and EA could increase the volume of microcirculatory blood flow in the cerebral pia mater; and that the increase in the EA group was superior to that in RA group. This suggests that a moderate and effective stimulation is a key to the production of a regulative effect on the organism.展开更多
