Objective To explore the efficiency of arterial perfusion chemotherapy combined with embolization for the treatment of giant carcinoma of the kidney. Methods Arterial perfusion chemotherapy combined with embolization was performed through the renal artery in 21 cases of giant carcinoma of the kidney from April 1992 to April 2006. The chemotherapeutic agents contained carboplatin(300 mg), mitomycin(20 mg) and cyclophosphamide(800 mg). The embolization was conducted with anhydrous alcohol, sodium morrhuate, and lipiodol plus gelatin sponge. Results The arterial perfusion with embolization was successfully obtained in all 21 cases. Surgical resection was accomplished in 15 cases, 1 - 8 weeks after the embolization; revealing severely less or no blood supply to the tumor. Pathological findings showed marked necrosis of tumor cells with peripheral inflammatory infiltration, fibrous proliferation as well as capillary embolization. The survival rates at 1-, 2-, and 3-, year were 80%(12/15), 53.33%(8/15) and 40%(6/15) respectively. Conclusions Combination of perfusion chemotherapy and embolization through the renal artery for the treatment of giant carcinoma of the kidney offers promising clinical effects.

Objective Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is used more widely in recent years in China. However, there is an argument on benefits and risks of off-pump surgery. Many studies shown that OPCAB had more benefits in short-term outcomes than conventional coronary artery bypass grafting(CCABG). But evidences from other studies suggested that OPCAB resulted in less long-term graft patency as compared with on-pump surgery. This study examined the longterm graft patency of OPCAB and CCABG performed by one surgeon. Methods 50 patients who had received surgical revascularization by a surgeon for more than 5 years were reviewed, 25 patients received conventional coronary artery bypass grafting ( group 1 ) and 25 patients received OPCAB ( group 2). All patients had angiograms for compareing the graft patency between the two groups. Results Among 25 patients in group 1,21 were male and 4 were female. The mean age of patients at surgery was (55.4 ±8.9) years. 15 cases had unstable angina, 16 patients had old myocardial infarction and 6 cases had diabetes.The ejection fraction (EF) was 0.58 ±0.14. The mean number of bypasses per patient was 3.32 ±0.63. Mean duration of operation was (3.58 ± 0. 82) hours. Mean follow-up duration was ( 86.52 ± 12.48) months. 83 grafts were evaluated for patency ( open vs. closed) and were graded by Fitzgibbon as grade A ( excellent graft), B ( impaired graft, with a stenosis of ≥50%, or a diameter less than 50% of the grafted artery), or O ( completely occluded). The graft patency was 73.49%, 61grafts were graded as Fitzgibbon A, 6 grafts as Fitzgibbon B and 16 grafts as Fitzgibbon 0. 25 patients were in group 2, 21males and 4 females. The mean age of patients at procedure was (58.2 ± 9.09) years, 11 patients had unstable angina, 13 patients had old myocardial infarction and 6 cases had diabetes. The ejection fraction (EF) was 0.59 ± 0. 14. Conclusion No 2011.03.013 difference in long-term graft patency was identified between on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Off-pump oronary artery bypass grafting preformed by an experienced surgeon may gain similar long-term graft patency to that of conventional bypass.

AIM: To compare the clinical results of suture method and partial eyelash resection treating for pediatric eyelid trichiasis, and screen an effective method for the treatment of pediatric lower eyelid trichiasis.
METHODS: Fifty-six cases of pediatric patients with lower eyelid trichiasis were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group in accordance with the method of drawing lots, and each group was 28 cases. The control group was treated with suture method, and the observation group was treated with partial eyelash resection. The clinical efficacy, patient satisfaction before and after treatment, and the incidence of complications were compared.
RESULTS:(1) The clinically total effective rate was 74%of the control group, which was 89% of the observation group, and there were statistical differences of the clinical efficacy between the two groups ( P<0. 05 ); ( 2 ) the satisfaction scores were (3. 89±1. 22) points and (6. 27±1-86) points of the the control group before and after treatment, which were ( 4. 00±1. 34 ) points and ( 8-95±2-34) points of the observation group, and there were statistical differences of the two groups before and after treatment (P<0. 05), and the scores of the observation group were higher than that of the control group ( P<0-05);(3) complications such as swelling and stitches off appeared in both groups, and the rate was 21% in the control group, which was 11% in the observation group, and there were statistical differences between the two groups (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: The treatment of children with lower eyelid trichiasis, suture method is simple and can be performed under local anesthesia in collaboration with children, but with a higher relapse rate, some patients required reoperation;partial resection of eyelashes can be more thoroughly solve the problem of pediatric eyelid trichiasis with low recurrence rate, but children need to be under general anesthesia with some of big risk. So partial resection of eyelashes is unsuitable for using in clinical practice widely and can be used in special cases.

BACKGROUND:Three-dimensional finite element simulation has been widely used in biomechanics. However, there is little research in knee joint replacement. The study of femoral prosthesis is less.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the optimal positioning parameters of knee replacement and femoral prosthesis implantation, and to verify the efficacy of Gemini-PS knee prosthesis in total knee arthroplasty.
METHODS: (1) Knee finite element model in total knee replacement was constructed. Orthogonal experiment was performed in femoral osteotomy positioning parameters. The shift amount A, external rotation degree B, and valgus degree C of femoral prosthesis were selected as the relevant factors for orthogonal experiment. Three values were taken for each parameter to establish orthogonal tables. Nine experimental combined knee replacement finite element models were created and analyzed with finite element. Analysis of variance and range analysis were used by optimization. (2) Totally 42 patients (47 knees) with knee osteoarthritis received total knee arthroplasty with Gemini-PS knee joint prosthesis. Knee joint function was evaluated after replacement with Hospital for Special Surgery knee score and American Knee Society knee score. Knee pain was assessed with Visual Analogue Scale score.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Minimal polyethylene substrate surface compressive stress peak was translation 0 mm, external rotation of 3°, valgus 6°; the peak stress was 15.9 MPa. Among the influential factors, the effects of internal and external translation were larger than that of external rotation angle, and greater than that of valgus angle. The optimal positioning parameter combination was pan 0 mm, external rotation 3°, valgus 6° by range analysis and variance analysis. Orthogonal experiment was valid by simulation. (2) 42 patients were folowed up for 12-36 months. One patient affected subcutaneous fat liquefaction of the lower segment of the incision. Hospital for Special Surgery knee score and American Knee Society knee score were significantly higher after implantation (P < 0.05). Visual Analogue Scale score was significantly lower after replacement (P < 0.05). X-ray films showed that osteolysis, dislocation or loosening was not found. The recovery of knee joint was good after operation. (3) These findings

Transverse fracture is the most common in patella fracture and tension band fixation is one of the most effective methods. Surgical wire tension band technique is simple, the use of materials is also simple, but it is not strong and difficult to promote. Kirschner tension band technique can get satisfactory reduction with reliable fixation, but it is easy to complicate with steel wire breakage and Kirschner loosening. Screw tension band technique inherits the traditional advantages of simple manipulation and reliable fixation, also overcomes the disadvantages of early activity limitations caused soft tissue irritation of tension band around knee, the slippage and breakage of internal fixation, and the technique can be popularized generally.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in the apoptosis of testicular germ cells in hyperlipidemic rats.
METHODSWe randomly assigned 42 four-week-old male Wistar rats into a normal control group (n = 12) and a high-fat group (n = 30) to be fed on a normal diet and a high-fat diet, respectively, for 10 weeks. Then we measured the concentrations of triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) in the serum using an automatic biochemistry analyzer, detected the apoptosis of testicular germ cells by TUNEL staining, and determined the protein and mRNA expressions of GRP78 and. caspase-12 in the testis tissue by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR, respectively.
RESULTSThe concentrations of TG and TC were significantly increased in the animals of the high-fat group ([3.00 ± 0.92] and [3.04 ± 0.39] mmol/L) as compared with the control rats ([1.43 ± 0.41] and [1.55 ± 0.23] mmol/L) (P < 0.01), and so was the apoptosis index of the testicular germ cells ([37.17 ± 2.74]% vs [5.16 ± 0.81]%, P < 0.01). The high-fat group, in comparison with the control, also showed remarkably upregulated protein and mRNA expressions of GRP78 (0.32 ± 0.03 and 0.86 ± 0.05 vs 0.19 ± 0.01 and 0.37 ± 0.03, P < 0.01) and caspase-12 (0.34 ± 0.02 and 0.87 ± 0.01 vs 0.12 ± 0.01 and 0.34 ± 0.03, P < 0.01) in the testis tissue.
CONCLUSIONThe apoptosis of testicular germ cells is increased in hyperlipidemic rats, which may be attributed to endoplasmic reticulum stress.
