Objective To evaluate prognostic impact of treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or upper airway surgery on the patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods Database search in The Cochrane Library, PubMed, OVID and CBM (from establishment dates to October 2009) were conducted. Cohort studies and randomized controlled trials of OSA with CPAP or upper airway surgery in CHD patients were identified. We assessed the quality of the included trials and extracted the relevant data. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 4.3.2 software. Results A total of 4 cohort studies involving 945 participants were included. The results of meta-analysis were as follows: a) there were no significant differences in the rate of late lumen loss and 10-year mortality between CHD patients with OSA treated by CPAP and those without OSA (RR=1.84, 95%CI 0.73 to 4.68, P=0.20; RR=0.80, 95%CI 0.24 to 2.64, P=0.71). b) CPAP or uvulopalatopharyngoplasty used in the treatment of OSA on CHD patients after PCI had a significant decrease in the rate of 5-year cardiac death when compared with those untreated OSA patients (RR=0.34, 95%CI 0.14 to 0.82, P=0.02). But there were no differences in the rate of 5-year all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiac events (MACE) between the two groups respectively (RR=0.66, 95%CI 0.39 to 1.10, P=0.11; RR=0.97, 95%CI 0.81 to 1.15, P=0.69). c) CPAP or upper airway surgery in treating OSA significantly reduced the risk of MACE occurrence during the 86.5±39 months follow-up period (RR=0.22, 95%CI 0.07 to 0.72, P=0.01). Conclusion Current evidence indicates that treating OSA with CPAP or upper airway surgery in CHD patients might be associated with a decrease in the risk of cardiac death. But more studies are necessary to evaluate prognostic impact of treatment with CPAP or upper airway surgery on the patients with OSA and CHD. However, due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are need.

Methods We collected the clinical data of 132 patients who were diagnosed with upper urinary tract obstruction by 64-slice spiral CT urography between December 2009 and January 2011. We analyzed the imaging features and compared them with surgical and pathological results. Results Confirmed by surgical and pathological results, 132 patients included 31 cases of urethral stone, 51 cases of congenital variant and malformation, 16 cases of ureteral infection, 29 cases of tumors in urinary tract, 3 cases of extraneous compression, and 2 cases of cysts next to the renal pelvis. CT diagnosis for all cases were basically in line with clinical and pathological results. Conclusion CT urography is an extremely valuable imaging method to diagnose the diseases of urinary system. It can display lesions broadly and reveal their inner and peripheral circumstances clearly, thus can help us determine the reasons and natures of the lesions precisely.

Methods The complete CT image data of 22 patients with tuberculotic peritonitis confirmed by surgical, pathologically, or therapeutic procedures from October 2009 to July 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The changes of lymph nodes, ascites, thickened peritoneum, mesentery and greater omentum were observed. Results In 22 patients, enlargement and rim enhancement of lymph nodes were found in 12; ascites with CT value of 20-28 HU was in 15, of whom 12 had small or middle amount of effusion which located in mesentery or abdominal cavity; thickened parietal peritoneum was in 16, including smooth peritoneum in 14 and evident enhancement in 10; thickened greater omeutum was in 15, including cake-like thickening in 2, filth-like thickening in 9 and tuber-like thickening in 4; thickened mesentery was in 18, including intestinal loop adhesion in 3.A total of 13 patients were combined with other tuberculosis. Conclusion CT scan is very important in diagnosing and differentially diagnosing tuberculous perinitis.
Objective To explore the value of multidetector row helical CT （MDCT） in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in adenocarcinoma of esophaogastric junction （AEG）， and to study the pattern of lymph node metastasis of it. Methods The MDCT images of 60 patients with AEG who underwent operation in our hospital from Jan. 2011to Oct. 2012 were collected， in order to explore the value of MDCT in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in AEG， and to study the pattern of lymph node metastasis of it. Results With diameter upper 8 mm and the difference of the mean value of enhanced degree upper 70 Hu as the standard of lymph node metastasis， the Kappa value （0.819 and 0.718），sensitivity （83.1% and 91.8%）， and specificity （78.9% and 83.5%） were all optimal. The lymph node metastasis rate was significantly higher in serosa invasion group than those of non-invasion group （P＜0.05）. The metastatic area of lymphnodes mainly concentrated around cardia （No. 7， 8， and 9 group）， lesser curvature of the stomach， celiac axis， and hepato-gastric ligament （No. 10， 11， 12， and 14 group） with the metastasis rate of 83.8% and 82.3%， respectively. Conclusion MDCT is useful to confirm the features， location， and rules of lymph node metastasis in patients with AEG， which is helpful in accurately cleaning the lymph nodes.
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of multi-detector row helical CT (MDCT) in Diagnosing the TN staging and typing of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction. Methods From January 2008 to June 2011，149 consecutive cases with AEG confirmed surgery were examined by using MDCT scanner before surgery in West China Hospital，pathologic and operative finding diagnosis were correlated with that results of MDCT . Results The accuracies of MDCT for the T1, T2, T3, and T4 staging was 97.3%，91.3%，84.5%， and 89.3%，respectively， and for the typing of Ⅰ,Ⅱ, andⅢwas 84.6%, 63.8%, and 79.2%，respectively. The accuracies of MDCT to judge the metastasis of lymph node was 88.6%（132/149）. The feature of metastasis of lymph node with circular and fusion，significantly and obviously enhanced，ring and heterogeneous enhanced, which the positive rate of pathological metastasis was higher (P=0.000). Conclusions MDCT is an excellent diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of the TN staging and typing of AEG, which is useful for the selection of the surgical procedure and decision operation path.
