Objective To explore the dynamic changes of von willebrand factor(VWF)and Pseleetin in the finger-replanted patients,and the relationship between the prognosis of the surgery and hypercoagulability.Methods From December 2004 to December 2006,eishty finger-replanted patients were recruited to our study.with 40 healthy volunteers as controls.Plasma VWF and P-selectin were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(EUSA)in both controls and patients before or after replantation.Results The VWF and P-selectin levels had significant differences between the replantations and controls(F=14.76,11.76,P<0.01).The VWF levels in the patients of 1,4,8,16 hours after replantation were(1 715±493),(1 396±549),(1 266±504),(1 163±436)U/L respectively,all markedly higher than the controls(P<0.01).The P-selectin levels in patients of 1,4,8,16,24 hours after operation were(14.7±2.6),(12.5±3.0),(11.8±3.2),(11.1±3.0)、(10.5±2.6)μg/L,significanfly higher than the controls(P<0.01).The VWF levels in patients of pre-replantion and the 1,4,8,16,24,48,72 hours after replantation were(854±209),(1 535±389),(1 177±407),(1 040±283),(958±216),(829±193),(777±151),(713±137)U/L in successful group,and were(1 202±164),(2 333±243),(2 146±161),(2 039±244),(1 865±170),(1 645±283),(1 427±331),(1 188±262)U/L in unsuccessful groups.They were all significantly different at the same test-time points between two groups(t=4.44,5.12,6.10,8.43,10.17,8.85,5.10.4.61,P<0.05).The P-selectin levels in patients of 1,4,8,16,24,48,72 hours after replantation were(13.9±2.5),(11.2±2.0),(10.2±1.6),(9.6±1.2),(9.2±0.9),(9.5±0.6),(9.3±0.4)μg/L in successful group,and(17.2±1.0),(16.9±1.0),(17.0±1.3),(16.1±1.1),(14.9±1.5),(13.8±1.4),(12.8±1.2)μg/L in unsuccessful group.Significant difference existed at the same testtime points between two groups again(t=5.22.9.91,10.35,12.79,9.46.9.45,9.33,P<0.01).After replantation,both VWF and P-selectin were rapidly elevated and went to the summit 4 hours later,then declined to pre-replantation level about 24 to 48 hours later after replantation.Conclusions VWF and P-selectin were associated with the hypercoagulability.Dynamic monitoring VWF and p-selectin may be useful in determining the existence of hypercoagulability and the therapy of anti-coagulability.

Objective To discuss the clinical features of bilateral multiple renal angiomyolipomas (RAML) with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).Methods Clinical data of 10 cases of bilateral multiple RAML associated with TSC treated from Jan.2003 to Dec.2010 were retrospectively reviewed.There were 4 males and 6 females in the study group,aged from 18 to 45 years,with an average age of 34 years.Three cases were treated urgently due to RAML hemorrhage.Five cases were treated due to back pain.One case was treated for hematuria.One case was diagnosed during physical examination.Facial angiofibroma occurred in 7 cases and facial flat speckle in 1 case.Epilepsy was indentified in 6 cases.Four cases had hypophrenia and 2 cases presented with symptoms of the classic triad:epilepsy,facial angiofibroma and hypophrenia.One case underwent urgent selective transcatheter arterial embolization (SEA).Eight cases (9 sides) underwent renal sparing operation.Conservative therapy was adopted in 2 cases.ResultsThe SEA was done successfully and bleeding ceased.AⅡ surgeries were completed successfully.The diameter of the biggest tumor resected was 8.0 cm.The number of tumors resected was 2 - 6,with an average of 3.5.The mean operative time was 70 min (range 50 to 120 min).The mean time of controlling the renal artery was 26 min.The mean intraoperative hemorrhage was 150 ml.One case required a blood transfusion.None of the cases re-hemorrhaged after operation.Pathology revealed RAML.There was no recurrence in 8 cases and follow-up ranged from 3 to 60 months,with an average of 25 months.A hemorrhage did occur on the oppositer side in 1 case 4 months after surgery.In 2 cases,a conservative therapy of regular monitoring and follow-up at 24 and 36 months was chosen.The serum creatinine of all the patients was in a normal range.Conclusions The bilateral multiple RAML associated with TSC must be diagnosed as soon as possible and treated depending on the size,location and developing circumstance of the tumor in a timely fashion.Renal sparing surgery and SEA are effective therapies.
