Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value and safety of surgical lung biopsies ( SLB)in patients with interstitial lung disease ( ILD) . Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients undergoing SLB, who were obtained from Chinese literatures through searching PubMed, CBM,Wanfang database, VIP information and CHKD from 2000 to 2010. The data from Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing University Medical College from2000 to 2010 was also reviewed. Results A total of 398cases underwent SLB, including open lung biopsy ( OLB) in 221 cases and video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy ( VATLB) in 177 cases. SLB yielded a specific diagnosis for 386 cases. The total postoperative complication rate was 12. 1% and mortality rate was 2. 0% . The diagnostic yield, post-operative complication rate, and mortality rate between VATLB and OLB had no significant difference. Conclusion SLB is a useful and relatively safe procedure for diagnosis of ILD.
Objective To identify the feasibility of the lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with breast cancer and to examine whether the characteristics of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) accurately predict the status of axillary lymph node.MethodsFrom March to October 2000, 32 patients with breast cancer were evaluated at the Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. Lymphatic mapping was performed using Methlene Blue. A SLN was defined as any blue node. Thirtytwo patients, with breast cancer underwent a complete axillary lymph node resection (ALNR) following SLN biopsy. Subsequently, all SLNs and ALNs were examined by both Hamp;E staining as well as immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratin. ResultsLymphatic mapping was successful in identifying the SLN in 26/32(81.25%) cases of nodes at level Ⅰ. Of the 26 patients mapped successfully, 10 had metastasis to the SLNs.In 3 cases that SLNs were positive, but other axillary lymph nodes were negative. In 2 cases that the SLNs were negative, but other axillary lymph nodes were positive. The sensitivity of SLNB using Methlene Blue in this study was 77.78%(7/9), accuracy 80.77%(21/26), specificity 82.35%(14/17), and false negative rate 22.22%(2/9). ConclusionSLN can predict the status of the axillary lymph nodes reliably. However, the efficacy of SLNB in the setting of randomized, prospective trials must be tested first before abandoning axillary lymph node resection as the standard of care.
ObjectiveTo review the recent studies about sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer.MethodsThe literatures in recent years on the history, concept, technique and clinical application of sentinel lymph node biopsy were reviewed and summarized.ResultsThere was no unified method for sentinel lymph node biopsy. There was a wide range of detection rate and falsenegative rate.ConclusionProspective multicenter random clinical trials will help to evaluate the clinical application of sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Objective To improve the knowledge of pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma.Methods A case of pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University was analyzed.Results A 32-year-old woman suffered from chest stuffiness,heavy pant and weakness after myomectomy in amonth. Chest CT showed miliary shadowwas diffused in both sides of her lungs, but serumtumor marker was normal. When the chest CT result did not change significantly after four-week’s anti-tuberculosis treatment, the patient accepted lung biopsy by thoracoscopic surgery. HE staining showed that the tumor cells had characteristics of smooth muscle cell differentiation.Immunohistochemical staining showed a low proliferation index of tumor cells, which did not indicate theexistence of pulmonary malignant tumor. Smooth muscle actin ( SMA) and desmin as the specific markers of smooth muscle, estrogen receptor ( ER) and progesterone receptor ( PR) were all bly positive, which was the characteristic of pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma. The patient was given the anti-estrogen tamoxifen for 3 months.Without radiological evidence of disease development and further distant metastasis,the patient had been followed up. Conclusions Pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma is a rare disease which can occur in any age group, particularly prevalent among late childbirth women. All patients have uterine leiomyoma history and/ or myomectomy operation, often associated with uterine metastasis, which commonly occurs in lung.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in the surgery of thyroid carcinoma in recent years. MethodsLiteratures about the recent studies on categories of SLNB and the neck lymph node dissection conducted by SLNB in the surgery of thyroid carcinoma were reviewed following the results searched from PubMed and CNKI data base. ResultsSLNB has a high detection rate and it is of great significance to detect the occult metastatic lymph nodes and guide the neck lymph node dissection during operation. ConclusionThe SLNB, with its high accuracy rate on the detection of occult metastatic lymph nodes, guides neck lymph node dissection during operation in order that it can maximize the benefits of patients.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical manifestations and pathological patterns of renal diseases requiring percutaneous renopuncture, evaluate the clinical significance of renal biopsy and the value of clinical pathway for renal biopsy. MethodsWe retrospectively summarized and analyzed the clinical and pathological data, and the clinical pathway implementation of 224 patients who underwent renal biopsy between October 2009 and September 2014. ResultsIn the 224 patients, there were 62 cases of IgA nephropathy (27.68%), 50 cases of minimal change nephropathy (22.32%), 28 cases of lupus nephritis (12.5%), 26 cases of membrane nephropathy (11.6%), 26 cases of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (11.6%), 6 cases of purpura nephritis (2.68%), 4 cases of focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (1.79%), 4 cases of hepatitis B virus-associated membrane nephropathy (1.79%), 4 cases of nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis (1.79%), 4 cases of acute tubulointerstitial nephropathy (1.79%), 2 cases of hypertensive renal damage (0.89%), 2 cases of membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis (0.89%), 1 case of lipoprotein kidney disease (0.45%), and 1 case of fibrillary glomerulopathy (0.45%). A total of 220 specimens in the 224 cases were qualified, accounting for 98.21%. Diagnosis of 70 patients in the qualified 220 cases were re-corrected according to their renal pathology reports, accounting for 31.81%. In the 224 cases, there were 16 cases of gross hematuria (7.14%) and 24 of peri-renal hematoma (10.71%) after renal biopsy. Patients who met the requirement of clinical pathway were divided into clinical pathway group and control group randomly. Average hospitalization time of the clinical pathway group was (7.6±1.2) days, and the average cost was (5 860±237) yuan, both lower than the control group [(11.8±2.3) days, (7 658±360) yuan)]. The difference was statistically significant. ConclusionsIgA nephropathy is the most common pathological type of primary glomerular diseases, and minimal change nephropathy the second. Lupus nephritis, membranous nephropathy, mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis are still the most common types of glomerular diseases. Lupus nephritis becomes the first secondary glomerular disease. Ultrasound guided percutaneous renal biopsy is safe and has high success rate and high clinical application value. The implementation of clinical pathway can shorten the average length of hospital stay and reduce the average hospital cost.
ObjectiveTo explore the application and effect of clinical nursing pathway based on information-knowledge-attitude-practice (IKPA) theory in percutaneous renal needle biopsy.MethodsThis is a historical control study. A total of 460 patients who underwent percutaneous renal biopsy in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between April and December 2020 were prospectively recruited as the pathway group, and a clinical nursing pathway based on IKAP theory was implemented. By contrast, the data of 617 patients who underwent percutaneous renal biopsy and received routine care in the same hospital between April and December 2019 were retrospectively collected as the control group. The length of hospital stay, hospitalization expenses, the incidences of postoperative complications (macroscopic haematuria, perirenal hematoma, and acute urinary retention), the incidence of postoperative postural hypotension, and the management enrollment rate of chronic kidney disease patients were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe length of hospital stay [median (lower quartile, upper quartile): 8 (7, 11) vs. 8 (7, 12) d] and the hospitalization expenses [median (lower quartile, upper quartile): 7380.50 (6401.86, 8789.21) vs. 8167.00 (6816.50, 10044.50) yuan] were less in the pathway group than those in the control group, the incidences of postoperative macroscopic haematuria (1.52% vs. 6.97%) and perirenal hematoma (2.61% vs. 5.02%) were lower in the pathway group than those in the control group, the management enrollment rate of chronic kidney disease patients was higher in the pathway group than that in the control group (26.09% vs. 6.16%), and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The differences in the incidences of acute urinary retention (8.26% vs. 11.18%) and postoperative postural hypotension (0.00% vs. 0.81%) between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05).ConclusionThe application of clinical nursing pathway in percutaneous renal needle biopsy can effectively reduce the length of hospital stay and hospitalization expenses, and improve the management enrollment rate of chronic kidney disease patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate the metastatic status and risk factors of axillary non-sentinel lymph node (NSLN) in breast cancer patients with 1–2 positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLN), and to provide theoretical basis for exemption of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in these patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 54 patients diagnosed with breast cancer who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and confirmed to have 1–2 positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLNS) and received ALND in the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of Tongling People’s Hospital from January 2018 to April 2023. The patients were divided into NSLN metastatic group (17 cases) and NSLN non-metastatic group (37 cases) according to whether there was metastasis. Chi-square test was used to compare the basic information and clinicpathological features of the two groups. The independent risk factors for axillary NSLN metastasis were screened out by multivariate binary logistic regression model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of independent risk factors combined with axillary NSLN metastasis. Results There were 54 cases with 1–2 metastasis of SLN, 17 cases with axillary NSLN metastasis (31.5%). The incidence of axillary NSLN metastasis in patients with tumor at T1 stage (maximum diameter ≤2 cm) was only 14.3% (4/28), however, the metastatic rate of axillary NSLN in patients with tumor in T2–T3 stage (maximum diameter >2 cm) was as high as 50.0% (13/26). The axillary NSLN metastasis rate was only 21.2% (7/33) with 1 SLN metastasis, while the axillary NSLN metastasis rate was 47.6% (10/21) with 2 SLN metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that T stage (tumor diameter >2 cm), 2 SLN metastases, number of SLN >5 and tumor with vascular embolus were more likely to develop axillary NSLN metastases (P<0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that T stage (tumor diameter >2 cm) and 2 SLN metastases were independent risk factors for axillary NSLN metastasis in breast cancer patients, the area under ROC curve of combined prediction of axillary NSLN metastasis by the two was 0.747, 95%CI was (0.657, 0.917), sensitivity was 0.765 and specificity was 0.649. Conclusions The combination of tumor T stage and the number of SLN metastases can better predict axillary NSLN metastasis in breast cancer patients. ALND is recommended for breast cancer patients with T stage (tumor diameter >2 cm) and 2 SLN metastases to reduce the risk of residual axillary NSLN metastasis.
Objective To compare and evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative and positive predictive values, negative and positive likelihood ratios of colposcopically directed biopsy and diagnostic cone biopsy in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Methods We searched PubMed, CBMdisc, CMCC, CNKI, and VIP to March 2004, and Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2003). Related journals published from 1970 to 2003 and unpublished papers were hansearched. Diagnostic studies which employed colposcopically directed biopsy or diagnostic cone biopsy and compared with golden standard (pathological diagnosis of specimens obtained through therapeutic conization or hysterectomy) were included and meta-analysis was performed. Participants were clinically suspected of pre-cancerous cervical lesions. Quality of studies was assessed, and SROC curve by Diagnostic and Screening Group of the Cochrane Collaboration was used to perform meta-analysis. Parameters were sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, predictive values, and likelihood ratio. Results Twenty six studies (3 376 patients ranging from 2 to 604 patients/per study) met the inclusion criteria. The quality of studies was generally poor.Before sensitivity analysis, superiority of diagnostic cone biopsy (sensitivity and specificity: 0.83) was shown over colposcopically directed biopsy (sensitivity and specificity: 0.76) (P＜0.001); while after sensitivity analysis the results reversed (sensitivity of diagnostic cone biopsy was 0.58 and its specificity was 0.61; sensitivity and specificity of colposcopically directed biopsy increased to 0.84) (Plt;0.001). Conclusions No definite conclusioncan be drawn as to which method is superior. To make further analysis, more studies with high quality are needed.
