ObjectiveTo investigate the value of rectumaerated MSCT examination in diagnosis of mesorectal infiltration of rectal cancer and lymph node metastasis staging. MethodsFrom January 2010 to July 2010, the data of 68 patients with rectal cancer confirmed by pathology were analyzed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning Medical University. All the patients underwent rectumaerated MSCT preoperatively and postoperative pathology was taken as the gold standard for evaluation of the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive or negative predictive values of MSCT in diagnosis of mesorectal infiltration and lymph node metastasis.ResultsIn rectum-aerated MSCT scanning, rectum and sigmoid colon was fully expanded, perirectal fat space was clear between perirectal fat space and relatively high density rectal wall and very low density enteric cavity. For mesorectal infiltration of degree Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ, the accuracies were 92.6%（63/68）, 91.1%(62/68), and 95.6%(65/68), respectively; sensitivities were 91.2%(31/34), 85.0%(17/20), and 92.9%(13/14), respectively; specificities were 94.1%(32/34), 93.8%(45/48), and 96.3%(52/54), respectively; positive predictive values were 93.9%(31/33), 85.0%(17/20), and 86.7%(13/15), respectively; negative predictive values were 91.4%(32/35), 93.8%(45/48), and 98.1%(52/53), respectively. For lymph node metastasis in N0, N1, and N2, the accuracies were 92.6%(63/68）,85.3%(58/68）, and 92.6%(63/68）, respectively; sensitivities were 86.2%(25/29), 90.0%(27/30), and 66.7%(6/9), respectively; specificities were 97.4%(38/39), 81.6%(31/38), and 96.6%(57/59), respectively; positive predictive values were 96.2%(25/26), 79.4%(27/34), and 75.0%(6/8), respectively; negative predictive values were 90.5%(38/42), 92.1%(35/38), and 95.0%(57/60), respectively. ConclusionsRectumaerated MSCT scaning can clearly show the depth of rectal carcinoma infiltration in the mesorectum, and N staging of mesorectal lymph node metastasis of MSCT has a higher consistency with that of pathological staging. Rectumaerated MSCT scanning is an important referenced method for clinical preoperative staging and individualized chemotherapy regimen.
目的 探讨盲肠管道式造口持续减压方法防治直肠癌低位前切除术后吻合口漏的临床价值。方法 选择120例拟行直肠癌低位前切除手术患者，按机械抽样法随机分成2组，60例为盲肠管道式造口减压组（盲肠减压组），另外60例行常规手术作为对照。分析2组患者术后吻合口漏、消化道反应、呼吸系统感染及腹腔感染发生的差异及出现吻合口漏后的住院时间、开始进食时间和住院总费用。结果 盲肠减压组与常规手术组相比，发生吻合口漏〔(5.0%（3例）比13.3%（8例）〕、消化道反应〔15.0%（9例）比48.3%（29例）〕、呼吸系统感染〔11.7%（7例）比26.7%（16例）〕及腹腔感染〔11.7%（7例）比21.7%（13例）〕者均明显减少(Plt;0.05)。盲肠减压组中发生吻合口漏的患者与常规手术组中发生吻合口漏的患者相比，漏后住院时间〔（39±3） d比（53±4） d〕更短，进食〔（14±2） d比（25±3） d〕更早，住院总费用〔（39 620±2 033）元比（46 750±2 131）元〕降低，差异均有统计学意义(Plt;0.05)。结论 盲肠管道式造口持续减压能有效降低直肠癌低位前切除术后吻合口漏的发生率。
