Objective: To make an artificial trachea, which can really healed with native trachea. Methods: 20 dogs are randomized into a pedicle group and a nonpedicle group. 6 cm cervical trachea was resected and replaced with "sandwich" artificial trachea made from memory alloy meshes by two-stage operative procedure. Survival period and stenosis of anastomosis were recorded. Results: Seven dogs in pedicle group survived well and another three were dead. The cause of death was anastomosis stricture in 1 and infection in 2. All dogs in nonpedicle group were dead within four weeks because of stenosis or infection. Conclusion: Two-stage operative pedicle "sandwich" artificial trachea made from memory alloy mesh is up to now the closest artificial trachea to human native trachea. It could be applied clinically.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and advantage of using withdrawable Sigma stent for the treatment of tracheo-esophageal fistular. Methods The stents were placed into trachea or/and esophagus by interventional or/and endoscopic technique. Results Esophageal cancerin 17 and benign disease in 2. Totally 38 stents were placed in 19 cases of patients (trachea 19, main bronchus 1, esophagus 18). Only one tracheal stent was placed in 2 cases. Two stents(one in trachea, another in esophagus) were placed in 15 cases ( 11 cases with 2 tubular type stent, 4 cases with one tubular and one bifurcated type stent). Three stents were placed in 2 cases. One stage placement of the stent in 35, withdrawed the stent and reinserted again in 3. All the patients have normal meal 2～4 days postoperatively. Only one patient had a little contrast in the trachea during X-ray exam but without symptoms, the fistulae completely sealed in 18 cases. Follow-up was fron 3 months to 3 year. 10 patients were still alive; the longest survival is 18 months. There were 9 deaths. The causes of death were pulmonary infection in 1, hemorrhage in 1, and systemic metastasis in 7 cases. Conclusion Sigma stent is can effectively treat tracheal or/and esophageal stenosis or fistular.

Objective To compare the clinical outcome of intramedullary nail with locking plate in the treatment of two-part proximal humerus fractures.Methods PubMed,SpringerLink,EMBASE,The Cochrane Library,Medline,Science Direct,CNKI,Wanfang Data and VIP database were searched for relevant studies comparing intramedullary nailing and locking plate fixation of two-part proximal humerus fractures.A meta-analysis of the two methods was conducted using the RevMan 5.0.Differences between the two methods were compared with respect to operation time,intraoperative bleeding,bone union time,Constant score and postoperative complication incidence.Results Seven studies were included in the meta-analysis,with 136 patients treated with intramedullary nail and 159 patients treated with locking plate.Intramedullary nailing showed advantages over locking plate fixation with regards to operation time (WMD =-27.71,95％ CI-36.07--19.35,P ＜ 0.05),intraoperative blood loss (WMD =-114.18,95％ CI-169.91--58.45,P ＜ 0.01) and bone union time (WMD =-2.91,95％ CI-5.80--0.01,P ＜ 0.05).While the two methods showed no significant differences in Constant score (WMD =-2.84,95 ％ CI-5.90--0.22,P ＞ 0.05) and postoperative complication incidence (OR =0.89,95％ CI 0.43-1.84,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Intramedullary nail is superior to locking plate in operation time,intraoperative blood loss and bone union time for the treatment of two-part proximal humerus fractures,but the two methods are similar in Constant score and postoperative complications rate.

Objective To investigate the causes of diarrhea during autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT )and summarize the nursing strategies.Method The histories of 23 APBSCT patients suffering from diarrheas were retrospectively reviewed to find out the causes of diarrhea and summarize the nursing strategies.Results The main causes of the diarrheas included the toxicity of pretreatment chemotherapy drugs in 15 cases,antibiotics in 2 cases,gastrointestinal motility drugs in 2 cases,intestinal infections from decreased immunity in 2 cases and other diseases in 2 cases,all recovered by corresponding managements.Conclusions APBSCT-associated diarrheas may be caused by chemotherapy drug toxicity,infections,drugs and other factors.So the nurses should evaluate them correctly,adopt corresponding nursing measures,strengthen the observation of patients' condition and raise awareness of prevention for the purpose of reducing the incidence of diarrhea,promoting the recovery of patients and improving the quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the application of Sigma stent in treatment for esophagn-tracheal fistula. Methods Clinical data of 22 cases of esophago-tracheal fistula treated with Sigma stent were retrospectively analyzed, including 17 cases of esophageal cancer and 5 cases of benign esophageal diseases, with length of 4 days to 2 months. One single stent was placed in 5 cases, two stents ( both in trachea and esophagus each) in 15 cases, and three stents in 2 cases, and 18 eases with tube-type trachea stent, 3 with obtuse angle L-type and 1 with Y-type. Placement of stent was by interventional method or/and endoscopy. Results Forty-one stents were successfully placed in 22 patients with no death in the procedure. And, all patients with fistula were healed successfully and could have normal eating 2 to 4 days after operation, except 1 patient who received a tracheal stent inserted first, but an esophageal stent inserted again due to incomplete seal of the fistula and another benign case who received surgical operation 1 year after stent placement due to protracted unsealed fistula, with an overall cure rate of 91% (20/22). Conclusions Placement of Sigma stent in the esophagus or/and trachea could effectively heal esophago-tracheal fistula. All the patients can eat normally after the procedure. Stent can be recycled and formation of secondary esophago-traeheal fistula can be prevented effectively with such procedure.

Objective To evaluate ascending venography in the diagnosis of iliac vein compression syndrome.Methods From April 2011 to April 2013,we have had 556 patients with varicose veins suspected of Cockett syndrome.The degree of varicose veins by the International Union of Venous Clinical Classification (CEAP classification) was as following[1]:shallow varicose veins of lower limb (C2) in 190;varicose veins with limb swelling (C3) in 149 cases ; with body skin changes,such as pigmentation,eczema or lipid hard skin disease (C4) in 130; with healed ulcers (C5) in 17; with active ulcer(C6) in 70.Deep vein anterograde contrast and femoral venous cannula angiography were performed on 760 times.Results Iliac vein compression syndrome (Cockett) was detected by ascending venography in 154 patients,the diagnosis was established by following femoral venous cannula angiography.In the other 48 patients in whom Cockett syndrome was suspected by ascending venography,final diagnosis was reached by femoral venous cannula angiography.Altogether there were 202 iliac vein compression syndrome cases,with a positive rate 38.19％ (202/529).The narrowness was larger than 50％ in 173 cases.In 145 cases there were visible collateral vessels.Conclusions Deep vein ascending angiography is a useful screening method in the diagnosis and treatment of Cockett syndrome.

Enrichment of trace bioactive constituents and metabolites from complex biological samples is chal-lenging. This study presented a one-pot synthesis of magnetic polydopamine nanoparticles (Fe3O4@-SiO2@PDA NPs) with multiple recognition sites for the magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction (MDSPE) of ginsenosides from rat plasma treated with white ginseng. The extracted ginsenosides were characterized by combining an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometry with supplemental UNIFI libraries. Response surface methodology was statistically used to optimize the extraction procedure of the ginsenosides. The reusability of Fe3O4@-SiO2@PDA NPs was also examined and the results showed that the recovery rate exceeded 80％ after recycling 6 times. Furthermore, the proposed method showed greater enrichment efficiency and could rapidly determine and characterize 23 ginsenoside prototypes and metabolites from plasma. In com-parison, conventional methanol method can only detect 8 ginsenosides from the same plasma samples. The proposed approach can provide methodological reference for the trace determination and charac-terization of different bioactive ingredients and metabolites of traditional Chinese medicines and food.
