Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by many reasons, which is characterized by intractable hypoxemia. Its etiology is complex and its mortality is high. Lung biopsy techniques can give accurate histopathological diagnosis to such patients to guide treatment and improve prognosis. At present, lung biopsy techniques include surgical lung biopsy, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy, transbronchial lung biopsy and percutaneous lung biopsy. The diagnostic rate of surgical lung biopsy is high, but it is traumatic and difficult to implement. The diagnostic rate of transbronchial cryobiopsy is relatively high, and the complications are acceptable. Transbronchial lung biopsy is minimally invasive but the diagnostic rate is low. The diagnostic rate of percutaneous lung biopsy is relatively high, and the complications are relatively few. For patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome who need lung biopsy, it is very important to choose different surgical procedures according to their effectiveness, safety and applicability.
Hemoptysis is a common respiratory emergency, and severe cases can lead to death. Patients with massive hemoptysis need emergency management at the bedside, and fully evaluation for indications and timing of tracheal intubation and transtracheal intervention. When a relatively stable state is achieved, emergency vascular intervention is performed to stop bleeding. CT plays an important role in the risk assessment and interventional treatment of hemoptysis, and it is worthy of clinical promotion and more exploratory research. This article introduces the emergency treatment for massive hemoptysis, the vascular interventional procedure, the exploration of clinical application of preoperative CT, and the clinical application value of CT for hemoptysis risk assessment. It aims to provide a better way to deal with massive hemoptysis and to apply CT to the interventional treatment of hemoptysis more reasonably for clinicians.
目的 分析多层螺旋CT在评价上腔静脉综合征侧支循环中的作用。 方法 报道2012年2月收治的1例上腔静脉综合征患者，并以多层螺旋CT评价侧支循环建立情况。 结果 通过多层螺旋CT的多维成像技术，可清楚发现患者典型的以及2支少见的侧支循环。 结论 多层螺旋CT在评价上腔静脉综合征侧支循环中有其重要意义。
目的 探讨慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者中微量元素铜和锌与炎症介质的关系。 方法 2010年11月－2011年3月间测量15例COPD急性加重期患者入院时及治疗后和13例健康者为对照组的血清铜、锌、C反应蛋白（CRP）、白介素-6（IL-6），血浆中金属硫蛋白，以及氧化应激产物丙二醛的浓度变化。并对铜、锌浓度变化与CRP、IL-6进行相关分析。 结果 COPD组血清中铜浓度、CRP、IL-6水平高于对照组（P＜0.05），同时急性加重期患者血清中铜的浓度、CRP、IL-6水平以及丙二醛值高于缓解期患者（P＜0.05）。而急性加重期患者血清中锌浓度低于缓解期组和对照组（P＜0.05）。血浆中抗氧化物质金属硫蛋白在三组间差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。在微量元素与炎症因子的相关分析中发现，铜与CRP（r=0.602，P＜0.001）、IL-6（r=0.533，P＜0.001）呈正相关，锌与IL-6呈负相关（r=?0.336，P＜0.05）。 结论 在COPD氧化应激发病机制中，铜可能发挥促氧化应激的作用，而锌可能发挥抗氧化应激的作用。微量元素稳态的紊乱有可能是COPD急性加重的危险因素。
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics and improve the knowledge of diagnosis and treatment of complex pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) as well as enrich the experience of diagnosis and treatment of the disease.MethodsA retrospective analysis of pathogenetic process clinical manifestations, imaging features and diagnosis and treatment was conducted on one case of complex PAVF. The literature review was carried out with " complex pulmonary arteryovenous fistula (malformation)” as the research terms in English and Chinese respectively in CNKI, WanFang and PubMed database. Search time ranged from January 1997 to April 2018, and the literature was screened and reviewed.ResultsThe patient was a 47-year-old female complained of recurrent epistaxis for 40 years, intermittent hemoptysis for 20 years, headache, dizziness, chest pain, chest tightness for 4 years and the symptoms were aggravated by 3 months, visiting this hospital on January 23, 2018. Pulmonary CT angiography revealed multiple nodules in internal and external segment and outer basal segment of right lung, anterior basal segment and outer basal segment of left lung. CT enhanced scan showed that the thickened pulmonary artery was connected with the above lesion, and the edge was accompanied by large draining veins. Pulmonary artery revascularization showed complex PAVF abnormal branches. The diagnosis was complex PAVF, and interventional embolization therapy was carried out and curative effect was satisfactory during the follow-up. A total of 6 literatures were reviewed in above-mentioned databases, including 4 Chinese literatures and 2 English literatures, containing 10 patients, including 8 males and 2 females, with an average age of (9.7±7.0) years. Most of the clinical manifestations were shortness of breath after exercise, cyanosis and hemoptysis and all patients were cured and discharged after interventional embolization treatment except for 1 patient refused treatment.ConclusionsComplex PAVF is a very rare pulmonary vascular malformation. The clinical manifestations mainly include hypoxemia, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and the preferred treatment is interventional embolization, which has a satisfactory clinical effect at a short-term follow-up.
