Isolated resection of bemangioma in the cau-date lobe is challenging due to the surgical anatomy of caudate lobe. The caudate lobe consists three portions: Spiegel's lobe, paracaval portion and caudate process. Most of the blood supply of caudate lobe is provided by the posterior segmental branches of the portal vein and left hepatic artery. The hepatic venous drainage encompasses a few sizable and several small branches that join the inferior vena cava. Selection of the ideal route for bepatectomy, adequate mobilization of the liver, preparatory placement of band for hepatic vascular occlusion are key factors during the operation.

Objective To analyse the effect of endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy of palma-plantar hyperhidrosis. Methods Between January 2006 and January 2009,77 cases with palma-plantar hyperhidrosis were operated by thoracoscope. Fifty-two cases of palma-axillary-plantar hyperhidrosis were performed sympathectomy of T2-T4 and 25 cases of palma-plantar were performed sympathectomy of T2-T3.Bilateral procedures were completed in the same position. Results After operation palmar hyperhidrosis and armpits hyperhidrosis all were cured. Of soles, 7 cases were completely dry, 34 cases nearly dry, 32 cases unchanged and 4 cases worse. There was no significant difference in the change of plantar hyperhidrosis between sympathectomy of T2-T3 and T2-T4 (P > 0.05). Conclusions Bilateral single port for endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy produces slighter trauma and patients easily accept it. Plantar sweating can be relieved or nearly relieved in partial patients after thoracic sympathectomy. There is no difference in the effect of plantar hyperhidrosis between sympathectomy of T2-T3 and T2-T4.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) injection into detrusor to treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods A total of 78 patients with SCI were treated with transurethral injection of BTX-A (300 IU dissolved in 15 ml of saline) into 30 different points of detrusor with 15 ml in every patients. Urodynamic parameters and voiding diary were assessed at baseline and 3 weeks and 3 months after the injections. Adverse events were recorded after the injection if present.Results After the first injection, 78 patients showed that the mean frequencies of incontinence decreased from 13.5 to 2.7 times per day, the mean volume of intermittent catheterization (IC) increased from 131 ml to 389 ml per time, the mean volume of incontinence decreased from 1 690 ml to 281 ml per day, the mean getting effect time was 7.6 days. 10 patients received second injection at 8.9 months after first injection, the results showed that the mean frequencies of incontinence decreased from 9.7 to 3.7 times per day, the mean IC volume increased from 108 ml to 387 ml. 6 patients received third injection at 5.8 months after second injection, the results showed that the mean frequencies of incontinence decreased from 9.2 to 3.9 times per day, the mean IC volume increased from 116 ml to 364 ml. No side effects were observed during the follow-up.Conclusion BTX-A injection into detrusor to treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity in patients with SCI seems to be an effective, safe and miniinvasive solution.

Objective To evaluate the survivability of hand foot mouth disease(HFMD)virus,in tap water for daily use.Methods HFMD viruses were isolated from cases of HFMD in Shanghai and Zhejiang from in 2008.Six isolated strains (five subtype of enterovirus 71 and one coxackie virus)were selected in this study.These viruses were mixed with chloride 1.0 mg/L tap-water and then inoculated into Vero cells.The cytopathic effect (CPE)was checked everyday in order to survey the survivability of each virus strain.The decline of virus survivability was analyzed by scatter diagram.Results These six strains of HMFD virus could survive longer than one month in tap water with initial chloride concentration of 1.0 mg/L and still had celluar infectivity.The survivabilities were varied between viruses isolated from different HFMD cases.Conclusions The survivabilities of enterovirus 71 and coxackie virus stains are quite strong in water.Therefore,the transmission route of water-borne pathogens should be monitored in regions using tap water during HFMD epidemic period.
