ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the effect of different retained dosage of lauromacrogol within the thyroid cyst in the sclerotherapy of thyroid cysts.Methods A total of 200 patients with thyroid cysts,who were admitted to the Longyan Municipal First Hospital of China between August 2020 and August 2021,were enrolled in this study.The patients were randomly and equally divided into group zero(suctioning out all the amount of the injected lauromacrogol),and,according to the percentage of the retained lauromacrogol dosage to the total cystic fluid,group 10%,group 20%,group 30%and group 50%,with 40 patients in each group.Thyroid color ultrasound was reviewed at 1,3,6,and 12 months after treatment.The changes of capsule volume,curative efficacy,influencing factors,and adverse reactions after the cyst became sclerosis were analyzed.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the postoperative efficacy.Results In all the 5 groups,the suctioned fluid was dark red in colour,and the patients had cystic nodules.The preoperative mean cyst volume was(20.43±5.86)cm3.In all the 5 groups,the postoperative changes in cyst volume indicated that the postoperative one-month cyst volume significantly shrank when compared with the preoperative volume,the postoperative 3-month cyst volume remarkably shrank when compared with the postoperative one-month volume,and the postoperative 6-month cyst volume strikingly shrank when compared with the postoperative 3-month volume(all P＜0.05),while no statistically significant difference in the cyst volume existed between the postoperative 12-month value and the postoperative 6-month value(P＞0.05).The postoperative 6-month total effective rate of all the five groups was 87%(174/200),and no statistically significant differences in the postoperative 6-month curative effect existed between each other among the 5 groups(P＞0.05).Taking the postoperative 6-month curative effect as the dependent variable,and the age,sex,thick cystic wall,cystic septum,and preoperative cyst volume as independent variables,the binary logistic regression analysis was conducted,which revealed that the thick cystic wall(OR=0.24,95%CI=0.08-0.72,P=0.01)and the cystic septum(OR=0.21,95%CI=0.07-0.67,P=0.01)were the factors affecting the postoperative 6-month curative effect.The main side reaction was pain,which was tolerable by patients.There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between each other among the five groups(all P＞0.05).Conclusion In treating thyroid cysts by using ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol sclerotherapy,there is no relationship between the curative effect and the percentage of the retained lauromacrogol dosage to the total cystic fluid.The best curative effect can be achieved at 6 months after injection of lauromacrogol,which can be used as the optimal time for follow-up check.The thick cystic wall and the cystic septum are the main factors that affect the curative effect of lauromacrogol sclerotherapy.For the treatment of thyroid cyst,lauromacrogol sclerotherapy carries reliable curative effect with few adverse reactions,therefore,this therapy is worthy of clinical application.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:69-73)
ABSTRACT
From June 2017 to May 2021, 11 patients with insulinomas received endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle injection (EUS-FNI) at the Department of Gastroenterology, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. During a median follow-up of 45 months (12-60 months), symptoms of 6 patients were relieved with only 1 procedure of EUS-FNI, 4 relieved with 2 procedures, and only 1 patient required more than 2 procedures. The results above preliminarily reveal that medium to long-term efficacy of EUS-FNI for insulinoma is good.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous sclerotherapies for a simple renal cyst.Methods:A total of 120 patients with a simple renal cyst who received treatment in the Department of Urology, Changxing People's Hospital from January 2017 to January 2020 were included in this study. All patients underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous sclerotherapies followed by medical absolute ethanol perfusion (retention treatment group, n = 40), medical absolute ethanol flushing (flushing replacement group, n = 40), and polidocanol perfusion (polidocanol treatment, n = 40). General data, operation, the incidence of complications, and surgical efficacy were compared between the three groups. Results:There were no significant differences in sex, age, course of the disease, cyst size, and cyst distribution among the three groups (all P > 0.05). The Visual Analog Scale score, length of hospital stay, and medical cost in the polidocanol treatment group were (1.98 ± 0.63) points, (3.54 ± 1.25) days, and (6271.34 ± 831.20) yuan respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the retention treatment group [(3.98 ± 1.26) points, (5.87 ± 1.76) days, (8798.45 ± 981.76) yuan and flushing replacement group [(3.05 ± 1.02) points, (4.35 ± 1.42) days, (7 128.19 ± 921.70) yuan]. There were significant differences in The Visual Analog Scale score, length of hospital stay, and medical cost between groups ( t = 8.97, 6.82, 12.42, all P < 0.001). The incidence of complications in the retention treatment, flushing replacement, and polidocanol treatment groups was 25.00% (10/40), 12.50% (5/40), 5.00% (2/40), respectively ( χ2 = 6.71, P = 0.035). The total response rate in the retention treatment, flushing replacement, and polidocanol treatment groups was 75.00% (30/40), 82.50% (33/40) and 97.50% (39/40), respectively ( χ2 = 8.23, P = 0.016). Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided percutaneous sclerotherapy with polidocanol is effective on a simple renal cyst. The sclerotherapy with polidocanol has a low incidence of complications, shortens the postoperative rehabilitation process, and has a good prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the second session of endoscopic ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol ablation (EUS-LA) for pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs).Methods:A total of 74 patients with suspected of PCNs who underwent EUS-LA in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from April 2015 to December 2020 were enrolled in the study. Fifteen of them underwent the second ablation. The efficiency of EUS-LA was determined based on the change of lesion volume during the imaging follow-up, categorized into complete resolution (CR), partial resolution (PR) and stable disease (SD). The safety was determined by the complication incidence.Results:Among the 15 patients undergoing the second EUS-LA, there were 9 males and 6 females with age of 51.5±17.6 years. Thirteen patients completed imaging follow-up after the second EUS-LA, CR was achieved in 8 patients, PR in 2 patients and 3 in SD. The CR rate increased from 0 after the first ablation to 8/13 after the second ablation ( P=0.002). The median cyst diameter decreased from 22.0 mm before the second ablation to 15.0 mm after the second ablation ( Z=-2.666, P=0.008) and the median cyst volume reduced from 2 419.7 mm 3 to 1 099.5 mm 3 ( Z=-2.134, P=0.033). The complication incidence of the second ablation was 2/15, similar to that of the first ablation. Conclusion:The second ablation is effective and safe without increasing the complication incidence in patients without achieving CR after the first EUS-LA.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of tissue adhesive combined with lauromacrogol (modified Sandwich method) for gastric varices.Methods:Literature in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang were searched by two independent researchers from the establishment of the databases to June 30, 2020, and qualified data from the eligible literature were extracted. Revman 5.3 was used to analyze outcomes including hemostatic efficiency, incidence of postoperative fever, chest and abdominal pain, ulcer, ectopic embolism and complications, and postoperative re-bleeding rate (Mantel-Haenszel method).Results:A total of 8 randomized controlled trials including 898 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that compared with the classic Sandwich method, the modified version had a better hemostatic effect ( P=0.01, OR=2.07, 95% CI: 1.17-3.68) and a lower incidence of postoperative ectopic embolism ( P=0.001, OR=0.06, 95% CI: 0.01-0.34). There were no significant differences in the incidences of postoperative fever ( P=0.58, OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.52-1.44), chest and abdominal pain ( P=0.83, OR=0.95, 95% CI: 0.58-1.56), local ulcer ( P=0.31, OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.30-1.47) , re-bleeding ( P=0.14, OR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.53-1.09) or overall incidence of adverse reactions ( P=0.24, OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.33-1.32). Conclusion:The modified Sandwich method of tissue adhesive combined with lauromacrogol is an effective and safe method in the treatment of gastric varices.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of pingyangmycin and lauromacrogol in treatment of hemangioma or venous malformation. Methods: All the databases of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, Wanfang, CBM, VIP and CNKI were searched from their inception to November 30, 2018 to seek the randomly controlled trials (RCTs) involving the efficacy and adverse reaction of lauromacrogol and pingyangmycin in treatment of hemangioma and venous malformation. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers were respectively responsible for screening researches, extracting data and assessing the risk of bias of included studies. Subsequently, meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 12 studies containing 1619 individuals with hemangioma or venous malformation were incorporated. Meta analysis showed that the cured rates of hemangioma and venous malformation were superior when treated with lauromacrogol than with pingyangmycin, the difference was statistically significant (OR=1.98, 95%CI 1.58-2.49, P<0.001). While no significant difference existed in the efficiency (OR=1.17, 95%CI 0.40-3.41, P=0.77) and inefficiency (OR=0.44, 95%CI 0.12-1.66, P=0.23) when treating hemangioma and venous malformation with lauromacrogol or pingyangmycin. The incidence of complication was distinctly lower in lauromacrogol group than in pingyangmycin group with statistical significance (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.17-0.44, P<0.001). Conclusion: In the treatment of hemangioma and venous malformation, lauromacrogol is obviously superior to pingyangmycin in the therapeutic effect and safety, but there is no significant difference in effectively reducing the focus.

ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the application of endoscopic injection of lauromacrogol and methylene blue in sclerotherapy of esophageal varices. Methods The clinical data of 62 patients with esophageal varices underwent endoscopic treatment from June 2014 to February 2016 were collected, including 26 cases treated by endoscopic injection of lauromacrogol (A group) and 36 cases treated by endoscopic injection of lauromacrogol and methylene blue (B group). The treatment effects, success rate of hemostasis, safety, complications and follow-up recurrence were compared between the two groups. Results The total effective rate and success rate of emergency hemostasis in B group were slightly higher than those in A group (P > 0.05). The times of treatment for eliminating esophageal varices in B group was less than that in A group, and the duration of treatment was shorter than that in A group (P < 0.05). The long-term rebleeding rate and total bleeding rate in B group were lower than those in A group (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications and recurrence rate in B group were lower than those in A group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Endoscopic injection of lauromacrogol and methylene blue is effective in the treatment of esophageal varices, and the hemostatic effect is good. The incidence of postoperative complications and the recurrence rate are low.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect and safety of endoscopic injection of tissue adhesive in a modified method combined with ligation for esophageal and gastric varices. Methods 60 patients with esophageal and gastric varices were randomly distributed to the treatment group (group A),who was treated with the modi-fied sandwich method(lauromacrogol -tissue adhesive-lauromacrogol)and combined with ligation for esophageal varices. The treatment group were compared with that 60 controls(group B),who was treated with the traditional sandwich method (lipiodol - tissue adhesive - lipiodol) and combined with ligation for esophageal varices. The hemostatic rate ,rebleeding rate ,improvement rate of gastric varices ,the rates of esophageal varices disappear-ance and complications were compared. Results The hemostasis rate were 98.32% and 96.41% between the two groups (P > 0.05).

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided ablation with lauromacrogol for pancreatic cystic neoplasms(PCNs). Methods A total of 38 patients with PCNs admitted to Chinese PLA General Hospital from April 2015 to March 2017 were prospectively enrolled to receive EUS-guided ablation with lauromacrogol. Adverse events, such as pancreatitis,fever,bleeding and abdominal pain, were monitored during and after the procedure. Patients were followed up with contrast-enhanced CT or MRI in 3 months,6 months,1 year and 2 year after ablation. Results Thirty-eight patients were enrolled in the study, and 8 of them underwent a second ablation;so, there were 46 treatments. There were 24 females and 14 males with mean age being 53.9±14.7 years. Mild acute pancreatitis occurred in 2 cases and moderate fever occurred in 1 case. The adverse events rate was 6.5%(3/46). Among the 29 patients with complete follow-up of 5 months(2-17 months), the medium tumor volume before operation was 7 564.40 mm3(301.38-87 082.87 mm3)while 542.84 mm3(0-18 202.58 mm3)after the operation(P=0.000). A total of 14 had complete remission(CR)and 8 had partial remission(PR)in 29 patients. The remission effective rate was 48.3%(14/29),40.0%(8/20)in the cysts of the head/uncinate and 66.7%(6/9)in the body/tail(P=0.353). The medium surface area of CR group seemed smaller than that of non-CR group(1 194.27 mm2VS 1 764.09 mm2, P=0.023). Conclusion EUS-guided ablation with lauromacrogol for PCNs is safe and effective. Cysts of smaller surface are more likely to be cured than larger ones.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect and safety of ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol injection and ethanol injection in treating hepatic hemangiomas.Methods A total of 60 patients with hepatic hemangioma were randomly and equally divided into lauromacrogol group (n=30) and ethanol group (n=30).Ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol injection and ultrasound-guided ethanol injection were performed for the patients of lauromacrogol group and the patients of ethanol group,respectively.The clinical curative effect and the incidence of adverse reaction of the two groups were evaluated,and the results were compared between the two groups.Results No statistically significantly difference in clinical curative effect existed between the two groups (P=0.489,P＞0.05).The incidence of adverse effects in the ethanol group was significantly higher than that in the lauromacrogol group,and the difference was statistically significant (x2=5.963,P=0.03,P＜0.05).Conclusion For the treatment of hepatic hemangiomas,ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol injection carries quite the same curative effect as ultrasound-guided ethanol injection does,but lauromacrogol injection has less untoward effects and lower pain rate,besides,injection of lauromacrogol can be well tolerated by the patients.Therefore,the method of ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol injection is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical value of ultrasound-guided percutaneous Lauromacrogol Injection sclerotherapy in the treatment of simple renal cyst. Methods A total of eighty patients with simple renal cyst, who were divided into 40 groups according to the random number table, were divided into two groups from February 2016 to April 2017. The traditional group used traditional open renal cyst unroofing decompression. Ultrasound guided ultrasound guided percutaneous Lauromacrogol Injection sclerotherapy was performed in the ultrasound guided group. The therapeutic effect, operation time and the rate of successful puncture were compared between two groups of simple renal cysts. It needs to compare the volume of the cyst and the quality of life before and after the intervention. Results Ultrasound guided group simple renal cyst treatment effect was higher than the traditional group (P<0.05). The operation time of the ultrasound guided group was shorter than that of the traditional group, and the success rate of the one shot puncture was higher than that of the traditional group(P<0.05). Before the intervention, the volume and quality of life of the two groups were similar. In the ultrasound guided group, the volume and quality of life in the ultrasound guided group were better than those in the traditional group(P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound guided percutaneous Lauromacrogol Injection sclerotherapy is of high clinical value in the treatment of simple renal cysts. The utility model can improve the success rate of one puncture, shorten the operation time, and the exact effect can speed up the regression of symptoms and reduce the volume of the cyst. Therefore, this method can improve the quality of life of patients.

Seven days after treatment the cure rates and histopathological changes were observed .Results Cure rates in group A were 86 7.% ,71 4.% ,50% and 20% ;in group B were 100% ,100% ,87 5.% and 37 5.% .In both A and B groups ,the cure rates were not significantly different between 1% ,0 5.% and 0 2.5% concentration subgroups ( P >0 0.5) ,the cure rates of these subgroups in group B had statistical significance with 0 1.25% concentration subgroups and the saline control group( P 0 0.5) , but between 0 5.% and 0 2.5% concentration subgroups ,it had statistical significance( P <0 0.5) .Conclusions It will be conductive to enhancing the sclerotherapic effect if the lauromacrogol concentration remains above 0 2.5% and does not be extracted from the cyst models .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the stability of 1% lauromacrogol foam sclerosant prepared with different liquid-to-air ratio in order to find out the optimal liquid-to-air ratio. Methods According to Tessari technique, two 10 ml disposable plastic syringes and one three-way plastic stopcock were used to mix 1%lauromacrogol with room air, and liquid-to-air ratios from 1∶1 to 1∶9 were separately employed to make the preparation of the foam sclerosant. Each kind of liquid-to-air ratio was used to separately make bubbles for 5 times, the foam half-life time (FHT), the foam drainage time (FDT) and the foam coalescence time (FCT) were recorded, and their mean values were calculated. The optimal liquid-to-air ratio was defined as the intermediate values of all the above measured indexes. Results When the liquid-to-air ratio was 1 ∶ 1, 1 ∶2, 1 ∶ 3, 1 ∶ 4, 1 ∶ 5, 1 ∶ 6, 1 ∶ 7, 1 ∶ 8 and 1 ∶ 9, the FHT of 1% lauromacrogol foam sclerosant was 184.8, 169.3, 135.9, 110.8, 111.5, 92.6, 76.3, 74.7 and 49.9 seconds respectively; the FDT was 10.6, 17.8, 14.6, 13.7, 13.0, 12.3, 10.7, 11.5 and 12.6 seconds respectively; while the FCT was 108.4, 79.8, 41.8, 20.3, 10.4, 0, 0, 0 and 0 seconds respectively. Conclusion Based on Tessari technique, the indoor air, two 10 ml disposable plastic syringes and one three-way plastic stopcock are used to prepare 1%lauromacrogol foam sclerosant, and the optimal liquid-to-air ratio is 1 ∶ 2.
