ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of lung tissue flap repairing esophagus defect with an inner chitosan tube stentin in order to complete repairing and reconsruction of the esophagus defect.MethodsFifteen Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups， experiment group(n=10): esophagus defect was repaired with lung tissue flap having inner chitosan tube stent; control group(n=5): esophagus defect was repaired with lung tissue flap without inner chitosan tube stent; and then the gross and histological apearance in both groups were observed at 2, 4,8 weeks after operation, barium sulphate X-ray screen were observed at 10 weeks after operation.ResultsSix rabbits survived for over two weeks in experiment group, lung tissue flap healed with esophageal defect, squamous metaplasia were found on the surface of lung tissue flap in experiment group. At 10 weeks after operation, barium sulphate examination found that barium was fluent through the esophageal and no narrow or reversed peristalsis, the peristalsis was good in experiment group.Four rabbits survived for two weeks and the lung tissue flap healed with esophageal defect, fibrous tissue hyperplasy on the surface of the lung tissue flap in control group. At 10 weeks after operation, barium sulphate examination found that barium was fluent through the esophageal and slight narrow or reversed peristalsis, the peristalsis was not good in control group, otherwise.ConclusionIt is a feasible method to repair the esophageal defect with lung tissue flap with the inner chitosan stent.
【Abstract】 Objective To review the recent progress of hi p resurfacing arthroplasty. Methods Literatureconcerning hip resurfacing arthroplasty and current achievements was extensively and comprehensively reviewed. Results The new metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty made much progress especially in materials and technology, and the results were satisfactory for short-term follow-up. This was increasingly widely used especially in treating young patients. But there were still some problems such as elevation of metal ions which had already aroused publ ic attention. Conclusion The new metal-onmetal hip resurfacing arthroplasty is an efficient method in the treatment of adult hip joint disease and has an encouraging future, but long-term follow-up is still needed.
Objective To compare the efficacy of incision healing by abdominal wall closure measure without suturing subcutaneous fat layer and the traditional abdominal wall closure measure. Methods Four hundreds patients underwent operation of abdominal median incision and abdominal paramedian incision from Sep. 2010 to Sep. 2012 in our department were randomly assigned to observation group （n=199） and control group （n=201）. The patients in obser- vation group underwent abdominal wall closure measure without suturing subcutaneous fat layer， and those of control group were subjected to abdominal wall closure by traditional layer suture technique. Comparison of efficacy of incision healing in the 2 groups was performed. Results The incidences of fat liquefication 〔1 （0.5%） vs.18 （9.0%）〕， incision swelling 〔3 （1.5%） vs.16 （8.0%）〕， incision induration 〔1 （0.5%） vs.15 （7.5%）〕， and dehiscence of wound 〔0 （0） vs.9 （4.5%）〕 in observation group were significantly lower than those of control group （P＜0.01）， but there was no significant difference in incidence of subcutaneous hematoma 〔2 （1.0%） vs.0 （0）， P＞0.05〕. The rate of primary healing in obser-vation group was significantly higher than those of control group 〔199 （100%） vs.186 （92.5%）， P＜0.01〕. Duration of abdominal closure 〔（13.0±1.6） min vs.（18.0±2.2） min〕 and postoperative hospital stay 〔（7.7±1.3） days vs.（9.6±1.9） days〕 were all shorter than those of control group （P＜0.01）. Conclusion The abdominal wall closure measure without suturing subcutaneous fat layer is obviously more effective to the traditional layer suture technique， which is a suture way worthy to spread.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment norms of gastrointestinal stromal tumor, so as to deepen clinicians’ understanding of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor and avoid misdiagnosis.MethodsThe clinical data of a patient with gastrointestinal stromal tumor who treated in March 2019 in The First Hospital of Kunming was retrospectively analyzed, and determining the methods of the treatment through MDT mode.ResultsThis patient was generally in good condition. After MDT discussions among the imaging department, cardiothoracic surgery department, oncology department, and anesthesia department, it was considered that surgical treatment was the best treatment scheme. The operation time was 120 min, intraoperative bleeding was about 100 mL, and no blood transfusion was performed. No bleeding, abdominal infection, gastroesophageal reflux, and other complications occurred after the operation, and the patient was discharged successfully on the 10th day after the operation. Postoperative treatment was assisted by imatinib. Follow-up was conducted for more than 4 months, with no obvious complication occurred after discharge, so continued to follow-up.ConclusionGastrointestinal stromal tumor can be diagnosed and treated by multidisciplinary approach, and surgical resection is still the most important and effective treatment.
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of the reverse transposition of pedicled soleus muscle flap in repairing soft tissue defects after Pilon fracture fixation. Methods From May 2002 to June 2006, 14 patients (11 males, 3 females; aging 2050 years) with soft tissue defects afterPilon fracture fixationunderwent repairing operations with the reverse soleus muscle flaps. The soft tissue defects ranged from 7.0 cm×3.5 cm to 100 cm×60 cm. Of the patients, Pilon fractures were treated by internal fixations in 9 cases, open Pilon fractures weretreated by external fixations in 5 cases. The area of muscle flap ranged from 8.5 cm×5.5 cm to 12.5 cm×7.5 cm. Results All patients achieved primary healings, and the grafting skin survived. Twelve flaps survived completely but 2 flapshad mildinfection, which survived after dressing change. Eleven patients were followed up for 3 to 26 months, averaged 15 months. The flap appearances were good and smooth without ulceration. The dorsiflexion ranges of ankle joint were 10-25°, and plantar flexion ranges were 15-40°. The gait was normal. Conclusion The reverse soleus muscle flap is no need to reveal blood vessel pedicle and has constant position of anatomy. It has big muscle belly, convenient to move and circuitation 180°. It is profitable to reduce infection rate and to promote wound healing to raise local osteotylus.
【摘要】 目的 研究使用Bowtie濾線器（F1）后，保證加速器CBCT患者掃描圖像質量前提下，如何合理設置掃描條件，盡量降低輻射劑量。 方法 使用Piranha輻射測量儀測量CBCT在使用F1與未使用F1時射線的半價層。設定不同的掃描模式，使用直徑30 cm的有機玻璃模體測量掃描劑量，并使用XVI附帶的Catphan503模體測量客觀圖像質量。在此基礎上，研究掃描劑量以及圖像質量與掃描條件的關系，提出了適合臨床患者的胸部與腹部不同的掃描條件。 結果 使用F1后射束的半價層增加了0.77～0.92 mmAl，掃描劑量明顯減少，中心點減少了22%~29%，邊緣點減少了41%~45%，皮膚劑量減少顯著。圖像質量隨著掃描劑量的增大而提高。空間分辨力受FOV影響較大，但一般能識別1～2 mm的物體，完全能夠滿足分辨細小骨結構與標記點的臨床要求。圖像偽影在使用L20時的大mAs下明顯。胸部低劑量的CBCT圖像如100 kV，M20，0.5 mAs的掃描條件亦可滿足臨床要求。腹部則需要使用較大劑量的掃描模式，CBCT圖像才達到進行配準的要求。 結論 F1的使用在改善圖像質量的前提下降低了掃描劑量，使用新的掃描序列能平衡二者的關系。【Abstract】 Objective To explore the influence of bowtie filtration on absorb dose and half-value layer inaluminum (Al) of cone-beam CT, estimate the image dose under different scan protocol, and establish the relationship between the image quality and the scan protocol after using F1. Methods Piranha was used to measure the HVL. Dose measurements were performed with an 0.6 cc Farmer type ionization chamber with a 30 cm-diam cylindrical shaped water phantoms in 100 and 120 kV with a series of mAs and FOV. CNR, noise and uniformity were measured on the Catphan503 images. Results HVL increased 0.77-0.92 mmAl where XVI generally had more penetrating beams at the similar kV settings. Scanning dose significantly reduced, the center point decreased 22%-29%, the edge with a decrease of 41%-45% which meant a very significant reduction in skin dose. Image quality improved with mAs increase. The spatial resolution mainly changed with FOV. But generally can identify 1-2 mm-diam objects, fully meet the clinical requirements of identify small bone structure and marker. Through this clinical investigation, low-dose CBCT images in chest, such as 100 kV, M20, and 0.5 mAs scanning protocol appeared to be an optimal settings. Abdomen image needed a higher dose to reach the requirements of registration. Conclusion Using F1 under the premise of improving the image quality then reducing the scanning dose and using a new scanning sequence can balance the image quality and scanning dose.
ObjectiveTo investigate whether inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasound can improve the success rate of weaning in patients with respiratory failure by comparing the difference of success rate between ultrasound-guided weaning mode and spontaneous breathing test (SBT) weaning mode.MethodsFrom November 2017 to May 2018, 31 respiratory failure patients underwent mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit were randomly divided into an ultrasonic guidance group (16 cases) and a control group (15 cases). All of them were offline after meeting the offline indications. The routine group was assessed by SBT for offline procedures. The diameter and variation rate of inferior vena cava were measured at SBT. IVC diameter >2.0 cm and variation rate < 50% were given intravenous diuretics. After the IVC diameter reached the standard again, the catheter was taken off the machine after passing SBT. The patients of both groups were considered as successfully weaned when they were able to tolerate at least 48 consecutive hours of spontaneous breathing. The following data were recorded at weaning, ie. Acute Physiological and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, arterial blood gas analysis, plasma albumin, serum electrolyte sodium, potassium, 7-day and 14-day weaning success rate.ResultsThere were no significant differences in APACHEⅡ score, plasma albumin level, arterial oxygen partial pressure, carbon dioxide partial pressure, pH, blood sodium level or blood potassium level between the two groups at the beginning of weaning (all P>0.05), and the 2-day weaning success rate was higher in the ultrasound group than that in the control group (95% vs. 73%, P=0.039); the 7-day weaning success rate was higher in the ultrasound group than that in the control group (87% vs. 66%, P=0.043). No significant difference was found in the 14-day weaning success rate (68% in the ultrasound group vs. 53% in the control group, P=0.446).ConclusionUltrasound can improve the success rate of weaning in patients with respiratory failure.
Objective To investigate the short-term effectiveness of unilateral biportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (UBE-TLIF) in the treatment of Meyerding degree Ⅰ or Ⅱ single-segment lumbar spondylolisthesis. MethodsThe clinical data of 26 patients with Meyerding degree Ⅰ or Ⅱ single-segment lumbar spondylolisthesis treated with UBE-TLIF between January 2021 and August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 10 males and 16 females with a mean age of 61.5 years (range, 35-76 years). The lesion segment included L3, 4 in 2 cases, L4, 5 in 18 cases, and L5, S1 in 6 cases. There were 17 cases of degenerative spondylolisthesis and 9 cases of isthmic spondylolisthesis; according to the Meyerding classification of spondylolisthesis, 19 cases were grade Ⅰ and 7 cases were grade Ⅱ. Twenty-one cases were complicated with lumbar disc herniation and spinal stenosis and 5 cases with lumbar spinal stenosis. The operation time, hospitalization stay, complications, hemoglobin (Hb) and serum creatine kinase (CK) levels before operation and at 1 day after operation were recorded; lumbar lordosis angle changes and postoperative spondylolisthesis reduction were evaluated by lumbar anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films before operation and at last follow-up; visual analogue scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate the low back pain and leg pain before operation, at 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks after operation, and at last follow-up; Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used to evaluate the functional recovery of the patients before operation and at last follow-up. ResultsThe operation was successfully completed in all 26 patients, with an average operation time of 181.9 minutes (range, 130-224 minutes) and an average hospitalization stay of 6.3 days (range, 3-9 days). Hb levels were significantly lower and serum CK levels were significantly higher at 1 day after operation when compared with those before operation (t=7.594, P<0.001; t=–15.647, P<0.001). No serious complication occurred during and after operation. CT examination at 3 days after operation showed that the percutaneous screw was not in good position in 1 case, and nerve paralysis (pain, numbness) occurred in 2 cases after operation, which were improved within 2 weeks after operation. All the 26 patients were followed up 6-11 months, with an average of 8.7 months. Complete reduction (the slippage reduction rate was 100%) was achieved in 24 patients (92.3%), and partial reduction (the slippage reduction rate was 87.5%) in 2 patients (7.7%). During the follow-up, there was no complication such as incision infection, fusion Cage subsidence or displacement, and internal fixator loosening. The VAS scores of low back pain and leg pain significantly improved at each time point after operation when compared with those before operation (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the VAS scores of low back pain and leg pain between at 2 days and 1 week after operation, the VAS scores of low back pain between at 1 week and 2 weeks after operation, and the VAS scores of leg pain between at 2 weeks after operation and last follow-up (P>0.05); but there was significant difference between the other time points after operation (P<0.05). ODI and lumbar lordosis angle significantly improved at last follow-up (P<0.05). Conclusion UBE-TLIF provides favorable short-term effectiveness and obvious advantages of minimally invasive in the treatment of Meyerding degree Ⅰ or Ⅱ single-segment lumbar spondylolisthesis. However, the safety and long-term effectiveness need to be further studied.
Objective To evaluate the bone regenerative potential of reconbinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2(rhBMP-2) / collagen on adult rat calvarial bone. Methods A tight subperiosteal pocket was produced under both sides ofthe temporal muscle in rats. rhBMP-2 / collagen was implanted in one side and collagen alone was implanted in the other side as control. The rats were sacrificed 2, 4 and 8 weeks after operation. The specimen was harvested and examined histologically. For morphometric analysis, the thickness of the temporal bone of both sides was measured and compared. Results The rhBMP-2 / collagen onlay implant resulted in active bone formation and the augmented bone was connected directly with the original bone, whereas the collagen alone resulted in neither bone nor cartilage production. The ossification process in the rhBMP-2 / collagen occurred directly through bone formation, similar to intramembranous ossification. Conclusion rhBMP-2 / collagen is an effective material as a biological onlay implant.
Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of autonomic nervous control on the proliferation of human hepatocytes. And to examine the cellular localization of some related receptors expression in human hepatocytes. MethodsNorepinephrine (NE), and its agonist, antagonist, acetylcholine (Ach), and its antagonist have been added to human hepatocyte line L02 and hepatoma cell line Bel7402. Modified MTT assay was employed to test the effects of them on the proliferation of the two cell lines at 4 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. Immuocytochemical staining was used to examine the cellular localization of alpha1Badrenoceptor (α1BAR), β2AR and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression in human hepatocyte line L02. ResultsNE potentiated the proliferation of human hepatocyte and hepatoma cell, which was enhanced significantly with dose increased. The proliferative rate of 4 h were higher than that of the other time points (P＜0.05). There were no significant differences between the group of NE combined with propanolol and the group of NE alone. Metaproterenol had no significant effect. Ach significantly inhibited the proliferation of human hepatocyte. Its effect was enhanced with dose increased. Atropine significantly attenuated the inhibitory effect of Ach at 24 h and 48 h (P＜0.05). Scoline alone inhibited hepatocyte proliferation at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h (P＜0.05, P＜0.01). In immunocytochemical staining, there were positive responses to α1BAR, β2AR and EGFR in all cultures. It was observed that the responses to α1BAR, β2AR and EGFR were mainly both cytoplasmic and cell membrane localized. Conclusion NE, the sympathetic neurotransmitter, acts via α1BAR potentiate the proliferation of human hepatocyte and hepatoma cell in the presence of serum. Ach, the vagus neurotransmitter acting via mAchR and nAchR inhibits hepatocyte proliferation.
