Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome: a case report and literature review.

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare disease characterized by multiple venous malformations and hemangiomas in the skin and visceral organs. The lesions often involve the cutaneous and gastrointestinal systems. Other organs can also be involved, such as the central nervous system, liver, and muscles.

Successful esophagectomy in a patient with combined esophageal cancer and hemophilia B.

Patients with esophageal cancer often require esophagectomy with esophagogastrostomy. However, the incidence of complications, such as hemorrhage, during operations for esophageal cancer is high, even with minimally invasive surgery. Without the appropriate interventions, the risk of major intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage is very high in patients with esophageal cancer and hemophilia.

[Evaluation of biochemical metabolites by 31P MR spectroscopy in leukemic infiltration of liver].

Objective: To evaluate the changes of phosphorus metabolites in leukemic infiltration of liver (LIL) with two-dimensional chemical shift imaging(2D CSI)(31)phosphorus MR spectroscopy ((31)P MRS).

Methods: Fifteen patients with LIL and 12 healthy subjects (control group) were scanned with liver 2D CSI(31)P MRS by a 1.5T MR Scanner(Sonata, Siemens Corporation).

[Following-up of nosocomial lower respiratory infection in patients with hematological malignancy after chemotherapy].

Objective: To observe and investigate the risk factors and pathogen diversification of nosocomial lower respiratory infections in patients with hematological malignancy after chemotherapy.

Methods: Respiratory tract microbial population of fifty patients with different kinds of hematological malignancy and para-prepared to chemotherapy was quantitatively analyzed before and after chemotherapy at an arranged time from April, 2004 to December, 2005. Susceptibility test was determined for bacterium of nosocomial infection, and the homology of the same species of the bacteria was analyzed by a pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).

[The clinical significance of hematological damage in systemic lupus erythematosus and related antibodies].

Objective: To investigate the incidence of hematological damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its relationship with disease state and immunological parameters of SLE.

Methods: 155 inpatients with SLE were enrolled in this retrospective study in our hospital. All patients fulfilled the criteria of SLE drawn up by American Rheumatism Association (ARA) in 1982.

[Application of bone marrow biopsy imprint in evaluating cellularity].

Objective: To study the value of bone marrow biopsy imprint in evaluating cellularity.

Methods: The bone marrow tissues were obtained by trephine biopsy from 272 patients, and then put on the slides to make the imprints. The imprints was stained by Wright-Giemsa method, and the bone marrow smears and imprints were examined simultaneously according to the bone marrow cellularity criteria.
