    Abstract: Gastric hamartomatous inverted polyps (GHIP) is not a common disease, and it has rarely been reported in the literature. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult due to the deep position and surface covered with normal gastric mucosa. However, with the progress of endoscopic technology, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) can play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of GHIP. Patient concerns: A 61-year-old Chinese man underwent gastroscopy due to abdominal pain 2 months prior that revealed chronic superficial nonatrophic gastritis with erosion and a submucosal tumor in the gastric body (an ultrasound gastroscopy was recommended). Therefore, he was admitted to our hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. Diagnoses: A hemispherical submucosal tumor was found in the middle segment of the stomach, with a size of approximately 30 mm × 35 mm and a smooth surface without central ulceration or mucosal bridge formation. Ultrasound gastroscopy showed that the lesion was a hypoechoic mass with uniform internal echo originating from the muscularis propria. Interventions: The tumor was completely removed by using ESD. The postoperative pathological results indicated a monocystic structure in the submucosa that was not connected with the surface mucosa. The surface of the cyst was covered with foveolar cells and mucous-neck cells (part of which had low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia), and GHIP was considered to be diagnosed. Outcomes: According to the abovementioned endoscopic and pathological features, the patient was finally diagnosed with GHIP. The patient was successfully discharged after surgery and received regular follow-up observations. Lessons: GHIP is located in the submucosa layer and has the potential risk of malignant transformation. However, it is not easy to diagnose by using gastroscopy and ultrasound gastroscopy. ESD can obtain complete specimens, which contributes to the diagnosis and treatment of GHIP.

    Abstract: Delirium is a common postoperative complication in older patients undergoing thoracic surgery and presages poor outcomes. Postoperative pain is an important factor in the progression of delirium. The purpose of this study was to test whether continuous thoracic paravertebral block (PVB), a more effective approach for analgesia, could decrease the incidence of delirium in elderly patients undergoing esophagectomy. Methods: A total of 180 geriatric patients undergoing esophagectomy were randomly divided into 2 groups and treated with PVB or patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Perioperative plasma CRP, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels were detected in all patients. Pain intensity was measured by a numerical rating scale. Delirium was assessed using the confusion assessment method. Results: The incidence of postoperative delirium was significantly lower in the PVB group than in the PCA group. Patients in the PVB group had lower plasma CRP, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels and less pain when coughing after surgery. Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided continuous thoracic paravertebral block improved analgesia, reduced the inflammatory reaction and decreased the occurrence of delirium after surgery.

    Abstract: Tumor angiogenesis is an essential factor for tumor growth and antiangiogenic therapy. To simulate the blood perfusion characteristics of human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) longitudinally in the process of tumor growth, multimodal ultrasound examination was performed on 40 orthotopic xenograft RCC mouse models. According to tumor maximum diameter ( d ), tumor growth progress was divided into 3 steps: d ≤ 5 mm, 5 mm 〈 d ≤ 10 mm, and d 〉 10 mm. Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI), superb microvascular imaging (SMI), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound were administered to monitor tumor perfusion characteristics. The abundance of tumor vascularity on CDFI and SMI was divided into grades 0 to III in ascending order, and their distribution range was categorized into types I to IV. As a result, heterogeneous echogenicity and irregular shape were more common in tumors d 〉 10 mm than those d 〈 10 mm ( P 〈 0.001 for both). Tumor perfusion grade and type on both CDFI and SMI made statistic difference among different growth steps, with higher ratio of hypervascular characteristic in bigger ones (all P 〈 0.05). Tumor in the same growth step had a higher perfusion grade on SMI than that on CDFI ( P 〈 0.001). On contrast-enhanced ultrasound, heterogeneous enhancement was more common in those 〉 10 mm ( P 〈 0.001). It can be concluded that the blood perfusion characteristics of RCC keep on changing during its growth process. In addition, SMI is more sensitive in evaluating tumor perfusion than CDFI.
