Objective To analyze the causes of misdiagnosis of aorta diseases for simple inferior limb artery thrombo-embolism,and summarize the clinical experience. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 9 eases misdiagnosed aorta disease,including clinical manifestation,misdiagnosis,improper treatment and final definite diagnosis. Results All 9 cases were misdiagnosed as simple inferior limb thrombo-embolism at first.Three cases were treated with emergent thrombectomy using Fogarty catheter.The correct diagnosis Was achieved by 3-dimensional CT angiography (3DCTA) after operation,and the eitiology of other 6 cases were also pmved as aortic disease by 3DCTA before operation.Among 5 cases of acute aorta dissection with iliac-femoral artery involved,2 cases abandoned surgery with one dying the next day and the other lost to follow-up after being discharged.The other 3 cases were treated with endovascular therapy successfully.One case of abdominal aorta anurysm with mural thrombosis defluxion were treated by aneurysm resection.The other 3 caBes of Leriche syndrome with acute aorta terminal filament thrombosis formation were cured by aortoiliac bypass.The limbs ischemia were improved in all cases without perioperative death.Conclusion Aorta diseases can sometimes lead to acute inferior limb ischemia,mimicking limb artery thrombo-embolism.Preoperative imaging especially 3 DCTA helps to establish correct preoperative diagnosis for a successful treatment.

Objective To compare the safety and clinical effect of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy ( LPN) on small renal cell carcino-ma. Methods The records of 65 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy in our hospital from March 2008 to March 2013 were retrospec-tively analyzed. 35 patients were given open partial nephrectomy and the other 30 patients were given LPN. Compared the operative time,blood loss,warm ischemia time,length of stay,positive marginrate,and occurance rate of complications between the two groups. Results There was no statistical difference in the mean size of tumor in the two groups. Compared to the OPN group,there was less blood loss,operative time, hospital stays and warm ischemia time in the LPN group. There was neither positive surgical margin nor renal function damage in the two groups. And during the follow-up period ranged from 6 to 18 months,there was no local recurrence. Conclusion Laparoscopic partial ne-phrectomy has a shorter operation time,less blood loss,shorter length of hospital stay compared with open partial nephrectomy,and it wouldn 't extend the time of warm ischemia,while the clinical effect of the two methods are similar.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, vacuum sealing drainage technology has been widely used in the treatment of orthopedic wounds or to facilitate skin graft survival, both of which have achieved good results.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the curative effects of vacuum sealing drainage technology in the wound healing after limb open fractures, soft tissue defects, pressure sores, and chronic osteomyelitis.
METHODS:Fifty-four patients of fractures combined with soft tissue defects, postoperative exposed bone, osteomyelitis, a large area of pressure ulcers or severe infections, selected from the 273rd Hospital of PLA, were randomly divided into test and control groups according to the wishes of patients. The test group included 36 patients who were treated with vacuum sealing drainage using polyethylene ethanol hydration seaweed salt after debridement, and the control group included 18 patients who were treated with conventional dressing. Wound cleaning time, number of dressings, and wound healing time were detected and compared in the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the wound cleaning time and wound healing time were shorter in the test group, and the number of dressings was also decreased in the test group (P<0.05). After removal of sponge dressings, in the test group, wound granulation was fresh and grew obviously with no exudates after the necrotic residue was removed and vacuum sealing drainage was changed. For the bone exposure patients, the wound area was reduced, or even there was no exposed bone any more. After skin grafting, vacuum suction and pressure due to vacuum sealing drainage technology made al skin grafts survive. In the patients with chronic osteomyelitis, the exudates were gradual y reduced until disappeared after vacuum sealing drainage was exchanged three or four times, and pathogens were not found in bacterial culture. After combined treatment of debridement and vacuum sealing drainage, there were many fresh granulations in the patients with large areas of pressure sores;after replacement of vacuum sealing drainage several times, the granulation grew to the same height with the surrounding skin.

This study was aimed to shed light on the biological and pharmaceutical characterization of the complexes of FUS1/hIL-12 double gene with cationic liposome, and to assess such complexes' transfection efficiency, stability and cytotoxicity; for they have the potential for use as drugs in gene therapy of lung cancer. Gel retardation assay, diameter measurement, and surface charge by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) were employed to select the appropriate ratio of "cationic liposome to DNA" of the double-gene and liposome complexes. The plasmid EGFP and plasmid PVITO2-hIL12-FUS1 mediated by cationic liposome were transfected into A549 lung cancer cells respectively, and the expression levels of EGFP and FUS1 and hIL-12 were determined by inverted fluorescence microscope and immunohistochemical and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) respectively. Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed to detect the stability of the double-gene and liposome complexes, after they were incubated with serum and Dnase I respectively. After the erythrocytes being incubated with the complexes of FUS1/hIL-12 with cationic liposome, the morphology of erythrocyte was observed by microscopy. The result of this study provides a basis for the use of the complexes of FUS1/hIL-12 with cationic liposome in gene therapy of lung cancer.

BACKGROUND:Cervical rotatory manipulation is widely used in the treatment of neck-related diseases with a clear curative effect,but it also has some risks in clinical practice.The previous study of our group found that cervical rotatory manipulation can reduce the tensile mechanical properties of the atherosclerotic carotid artery,but it is not clear about the effects of different cervical rotatory manipulations(positioning/non-positioning)and different degrees(mild/moderate/severe)of atherosclerosis on the tensile mechanical properties of the carotid artery. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of different cervical rotatory manipulations and different degrees of atherosclerosis on the tensile mechanical properties of the internal carotid artery. METHODS:The 120 male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into eight experimental groups with different degrees of atherosclerosis and different cervical rotatory manipulations:severe atherosclerosis + positioning/non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulation,moderate atherosclerosis + positioning/non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulation,mild atherosclerosis + positioning/non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulation,and normal rabbit + positioning/non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulation,as well as three model control groups:mild/moderate/severe atherosclerosis + non-cervical rotatory manipulation,and the blank control group.Two-factor analysis of variance was used to explore the main effects and interactive effects of different cervical rotatory manipulations and different degrees of atherosclerosis on the tensile mechanical properties of the internal carotid artery.One-way analysis of variance was applied to explore the influence of different cervical rotatory manipulations on the tensile mechanical properties of the internal carotid artery under the same degree of atherosclerosis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Both different cervical rotatory manipulations and different degrees of atherosclerosis were the main effect factors affecting the tensile mechanical properties of the internal carotid artery.(2)For both mild and severe atherosclerosis,both positioning and non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulations reduced the maximum stress of the internal carotid artery(P<0.05)and also increased the physiological elastic modulus of the internal carotid artery(P<0.05).(3)For moderate atherosclerosis,positioning and non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulations also increased the physiological elastic modulus of the internal carotid artery(P<0.05).Non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulation reduced the maximum strain of the internal carotid artery(P<0.05),and its maximum strain was also less than the internal carotid artery of the positioning cervical rotatory manipulations(P<0.05).(4)For the normal internal carotid artery,in addition to the maximum strain,both positioning and non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulations had no statistically significant effects on other tensile mechanical indicators of the internal carotid artery(P>0.05).(5)The results suggest that both positioning and non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulations may increase the stiffness of the atherosclerotic internal carotid artery,reducing its elasticity and brittleness.Therefore,both positioning and non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulations may increase the risk of cardiovascular events in mild/moderate/severe atherosclerotic internal carotid artery,and the more severe the atherosclerosis is,the greater the risk of positioning/non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulation treatment,but the risk of positioning cervical rotatory manipulation is not lower than that of non-positioning cervical rotatory manipulation.
