In order to study the values of MR/CT to the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of systemic lupus erythematosis with neuropsyehiatric disorders (SLE-NP), MR/CT image changes of 22 examinations of skull/spinal cord in 16 patients with SLE-NP were analyzed. The results showed that the images of 18 examinations were abnormal (81.8%), including ischaemia/infarct (9 times), haemorrhage (3 times), focal demyelination (3 times), and cerebral atropy (6 times). The areas involved including basal ganglia (10 times), anterior horn of lateral ventricle (5 times), pons (1 time), and spinal cord (2 times). MR/CT is sensitive for the examination of lesions of SLE-NP, and the total positive rate is as high as 81.8%. Its high resolution rate can display the nature and areas of the lesions, which may provide valuable reference for the early diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, evaluation of therapeutic efficacy and prognosis of SLE-NP.

Otoneurological operations were performed in 96 patients through the retrosigmoidal approach. The anatomical structures in the cerebello-pontine angle can be clearly exposed with this procedure. The approach has the advantage that it is of convenience in manipulation with only gentle trauma, and that some drawbacks of suboccipital or retrolabyrimhine approach may be overcome. On the other hand, operation indications can be extended and operation complications reduced. It is an ideal approach which enters the cerebello-pontine angle. The surgical technique and clinical experience have been reported in detail in this paper.

Results The dicentrics before 2 Gy exposure in exposure group was higher than that in control(P>0.05). But the dicentries after 2 Gy exposure in exposure group was lower than that in control,but not significantly (P>0.05).The tricentrics in exposure group was significantly lower than that in control(U=3.1622, 0.0ol

Objective To analysis the related influencing factors and explore the approach of improving the effect of platelet transfusion through compared the posttransfusion effect of matched-type with random platelet transfusion.Methods Analysis the results of platelet antibody screening test and matched-type test in our hospital′s inpatients during July 2013 to June 2014,who applied for platelet transfusion.The influence of sex,blood transfusion history,pregnant history on the antibody were analyzed.The factors of sex,times of blood transfusion,pregnant times,platelet component sorts,storage time,combined with other components,platelet antibody (positive or negative) and transfusion matched-type platelet on the effect of platelet transfusion were analyzed.Application in our clinical blood transfusion intelligent management and evaluation system to evaluate the effect of platelet transfusion.Results Totally 812 patients′ platelet antibody were screened.Then we randomly selected 87 antibody positive inpatients were selected and 1 247 U plateletswere transfused,which including matched-type platelet transfusion for antibody screening positive patients,random platelet transfusion for antibody screening positive patients,random platelet transfusion for antibody screening negative patients,there were statistical difference (P<0.05).With Logistics regresion analysis,the history of blood transfusion was an independent risk factor for platelet antibody production (P<0.05,OR=13.104,95%CI:7.784-22.061).Sex (P<0.05,OR=1.629,95%CI:1.236-2.148),transfusion times,different platelet component sorts (leukocyte-reduced platelets aphaeresis and irradiation leukocyte-reduced platelets aphaeresis),different storage time,transfusion combined with other components (RBC)(P<0.05,OR=2.464,95%CI:1.053-5.765),transfusion matched-type platelet(P<0.05,OR=0.576,95%CI:0.389-0.854) were the risk factors for platelet transfusion.Conclusion Matched-type test should be done to improve efficiency when the platelet antibody screening were positive.Sex,times of blood transfusion,platelet component sorts,storage time,combine with other components,transfusion matched-type platelet couldinfluence the effect of platelet transfusion.

Objective To investigate the effect of cytokines on pancreatic function in patients after acute pancreatitis(AP) and its mechanisms. Methods Fifty-nine patients (mild in 25 and severe in 34) after AP and 20 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Serum levels of cytokines including hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), epidermal growth factor(EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), regeneration protein(Reg)-1 and Reg-4 were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Fasting blood-glucose, insulin, C-peptide and fecal elastase 1 (FE1) were detected for evluation of endocrine and exocrine pancreatic function. The association of pancreatic function with clinical parameters and serum cytokines was analyzed. Results The expression of FE1 was lower in patients [(205.9±18.3) μg/g] after AP in comparison with the controls [(333.9±19.7) μg/g, P<0. 01], but levels of fasting blood-glucose, C-peptide and insulin were higher in patients group (P<0.01). Serum level of HGF was higher in patients with insufficient pancreatic exoerine [(983.76±372.65) pg/ml] than those with normal exocrine function [(263.44±110. 35) pg/ml]. Meanwhile,EGF level was higher in patients with DM after AP [(704.41±190. 37) pg/ml] than those without DM [(360. 03±48.39) pg/mh P<0.05]. There was a negatively correlation between FE1 and HGF (P ＜0. 01). The abnormal fasting blood glucose was correlated with CT grading (P<0. 05).Conclusions The patients after AP develope insufficient exocrine and endocrine function. Serum EGF and HGF may be associated with restoration of pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function.

Objective: To investigate the morphological characters of the dorsal perforators originated from the deep palmar arch, so as to provide anatomic basis for V-Y advanced perforator flap. Methods: The following contents were investigated in 30 adult hand specimens perfused with red latex under surgical magnifier: ①The origin, courses, branches and distribution of the dorsal perforators originatedd from the deep palmar arch. ②The characters of anastomosis among the dorsal perforators, the dorsal carpal and metacarpal arteries. Mimic operation was performed on another fresh specimens perfused with red latex. Results: There were three perforators originated from the deep palmar arch, which passed through the 2nd-4th dorsal interossei and then divided into an ascending branch and a descending branch at the dorsum of hand. Then the ascending branch anastomosed with the dorsal carpal artery, and the descending branch stretched to the 2nd-4th dorsal metacarpal arteries. The originating outer diameters of the 1st-3rd perforators were (1.1±0.2) mm, (0.9±0.3) mm and (0.7±0.1) mm respectively, and the length of the stems were (1.1±0.3) cm, (1.0±0.2)cm and (0.9±0.1) cm respectively. Conclusions The V-Y advanced perforator flap with the dorsal perforator of the deep palmar arch as its vascular pedicle could be used to repair the dorsal carpal or dorsal metacarpal soft tissue defects.

Objective To explore the feasibility of the perforator-based intermediate dorsal pedal flap with vessels of cutaneous nerve nutrition for repair of soft tissue defects of the forefoot.Methods A retrospective case series study was performed for seven cases of soft tissue defects of the forefoot hospitalized between February 2013 and January 2017.There were five males and two females,with a mean age of 38 years (range,18-73 years).Injury regions were lateral plantar skin defect in the forefoot in three cases,dorsal skin defect in the third webbed toe in two cases and proximal dorsal skin defect in the fourth toe in two cases.The defect area was about 2.5 cm × 1.5 cm-4.5 cm × 2.0 cm.The perforator-based intermediate dorsal pedal flap with vessels of cutaneous nerve nutrition was designed on the lateral dorsum of the foot and then was incised and transferred to repair the forefoot wound based on its surgical anatomy.The time of surgery and the amount of intraoperative blood loss were recorded.An observation was done on feeling,appearance,texture,blood supply and survival of the flap as well as swelling,hypertrophic scar,itching,paralysis of the skin grafting area.The recovery of the activity function was assessed by American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score.Results The surgery time was 1.0-1.5 h (mean,1 h),and intraoperative bleeding was about 50 ml (range,30-100 ml).Seven cases of perforator-based dorsal medial skin flap with vessels of cutaneous nerve nutrition all survived,with early wound healing.After 2 to 15 months follow-up,two-point discrimination of flaps was 9-15 mm(average,12.5 mm).Skin flaps were with excellent texture and without swelling,the color of which was close to normal color with good appearance.The postoperative foot did not have bone resorption,wound infection,tendon adhesion,line-type or flaky scar left locally,lower limb walking dysfunction or other complications.Patients were satisfied with the functions of donor and recipient sites and the appearance of the flap.Conclusions Perforation-based dorsal flap with vessels of cutaneous nerve nutrition has high survival rate,satisfaction of appearance and fast recovery of recipient site,with no obvious foot pain,limitation of joint movement or other complications,and therefore is a reliable method to repair soft tissue defects in forefoot.

Objective:To evaluate the fixation with a locking fibular intramedullary nail for treatment of extra-articular distal tibial fracture complicated with fibular fracture (AO/OTA 43A).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 31 patients who had been treated by fixation with a locking fibular intramedullary nail for extra-articular distal tibial fracture complicated with fibular fracture at Department of Orthopaedics, The 909th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force between January 2018 and December 2021. There were 20 males and 11 females; (41.5±15.7) years in age; AO classification of the distal tibial fractures: 10 cases of type 43A1, 10 cases of type 43A2, and 11 cases of type 43A3; 11 open fractures and 20 closed fractures. Fracture healing, fibular alignment, tibiotalar angle, and incidence of complications were regularly followed up and recorded after surgery. At the last follow-up, the ankle joint function was assessed using the Olerud Molander ankle score (OMAS) and the ankle-hindfoot score of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS).Results:All the 31 patients were followed up for (17.5±3.3) months after surgery. All of them achieved fine fracture union. The union time was (3.9±0.8) months for tibial fractures, and (3.6±0.9) months for fibular fractures. No internal fixation failure was observed. The last follow-up revealed the following: the fibular alignment was 1.8°±1.3° and the ankle tibiotalar angle 9.1°±2.3°; no fibular rotation, shortening, or separation displacement happened; the OMAS score was (88.3±6.2) points, and the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score (87.4±6.0) points. Two patients required removal of the distal locking screw of the fibular intramedullary nail due to soreness around the lateral malleolus caused by screw loosening. There were no other related complications.Conclusion:Fixation with a locking fibular intramedullary nail is an effective treatment for extra-articular distal tibial fracture complicated with fibular fracture, demonstrating advantages of firm fixation, limited complications, minimal trauma and soft tissue irritation, and good clinical efficacy.
