Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of visualization puncture combined with flexible ureteroscopy in the treatment of lower calyx stones.Method Visualization puncture combined with flexible ureteroscopy to treat the lower calyx stones was done in our center from January to August 2016 in our hospital.32 cases of patients were enrolled to have a retrospective analysis.There were 18 males and 14 females,aged from 25 to 65 years,with an average age of 43 years.The diameter of stone was 1.0-2.0 cm,with an average of (1.4 ± 0.6) cm.We used general anesthesia and then adjusted the surgery bed to operation side lateral elevation was 30 °-35.Flexible ureteroscopy with 200μm holmium laser was used firstly to break calculi as much as possible.Ultrasound-guided F4.8 visualization puncture system was used to establish F4.8 channel.The power option was 2001μm hohnium laser to crush calculus of the renal calculi to treat the calculus of the distal end of soft lens which still can not be touched by ureteroscopy.Routine nephrostomy tube was not placed.The soft ureter sheath F5 double-J tube,and indwelling balloon catheter were routinely placed.We removed the catheter after 1-2 days and the double J tube after 4 to 6 weeks.Results The flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy operation time was 8-25 mins in all of the 32 patients.Visualization puncture channels were successfully established in 3-7 mins,and the visualized puncture stone search rate of 100％ (32/32).The success rate of first stage lithotripsy was 93.8％ (30/32).Two cases of lower calyx stones diverticulum diverted to PNCL due to poor visibility by bleeding.The operation time was 30-60 mins and the average of 45 mins.KUB review at day one after the surgery showed that there were residual stones in 5 cases.The stone free rate at one month after the surgery is 100.0％.The average postoperative hospital stay was (2.0 ± 1.5) days.There were uo bleeding,ureteral avulsion and perforation,septic shock,pleural effusion and intestinal injury and other serious complications.Conclusions Navigation ultrasound-guided visualization puncture combined with flexible ureteroscopy is safe and effective to treat lower calyx stones.

BACKGROUND:There was no effective method to thoroughly treat tibial bone defect and soft tissue defect. The application of Ilizarov technique solved shortening deformity, soft tissue injury and joint contracture to some degrees.
OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effects of Ilizarov external fixation on treatment of tibial bone defect and the parameter selection of Ilizarov steel ring.
METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 67 patients with tibial bone defects, who were treated and fol owed up from March 2007 to January 2012. Al patients had fracture of tibia and received one-stage operation. After treatment, postoperative limb suffered from tibia osteomyelitis and soft tissue injury. Ilizarov external fixation was placed in the limb. The length of defected tibia and area of defected soft tissues were compared at 1, 3 and 6 months after external fixation and final fol ow-up. The ankle joint Kofoed score and knee joint ROM score were observed before and after external fixation. In final fol ow-up, functional recovery was evaluated in accordance with diagnosis and treatment criteria of Johner-Wruhs fracture of shaft of tibia.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 67 patients were fol owed up for 6 to 35 months. Bone defects in 67 cases were rebuilt and the fracture was healed, but five cases had poor healing. Among 44 cases of soft tissue injury, wound had healed in 40 cases, and wound had not healed in 4 cases. The length of tibia defect and the area of soft tissue defects were improved at 1, 3, and 6 months after the operation (P<0.05). After operation, the ankle joint Kofoed score and knee joint ROM were significantly better than those before operation (P<0.05). During final fol ow-up, the excellent and good rate of each therapeutic plan was 85%. For the tibial osteomyelitis bone defect with the merged skin defect, the trauma was smal using Ilizarov technique, which can avoid several complicated operations, shorten the time and reduce the expenses of treatment, but there were some weaknesses and limitations. The size and material of Ilizarov external fixation affect the efficiency of the fixation and postfixation adjustment.

BACKGROUND:The surgical method for the treatment of unstable distal radius fracture mainly includes plate internal fixation and external fixator, but both of these two methods have the advantages and disadvantages. Which treatment is more conducive to the rehabilitation of patients, there is stil controversy.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of internal fixation and external fixator for the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures.
METHODS:The relative databases and literatures were searched with the computer and hand to col ect the randomized control ed trials of internal fixation versus external fixator for the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures. After extraction literature data and quality evaluation, RevMan 5.2 software was used for system evaluation. The grip strength, disabilities of arm, shoulder&hand score, complications rates, infection rates, deformity rates and ulnar variance rates were compared between two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 9 literatures, involving total y 524 patients were included, 286 patients in the internal fixation group and 238 patients in the external fixator group. There was no significant difference in grip strength between internal fixation group and the external fixator group. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the internal fixation group was better than the external fixator group in the aspects of disabilities of arm, shoulder&hand score, complications rate, infection rate, deformity rate and ulnar variance rate at 3 months and 1 year after treatment. The results indicate that the plate internal fixation is better than external fixator in the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures, but the large sample, double-blind, and high quality randomized control ed trials are stil needed to identify the results.

Objective To evaluate the consistence in the detection of antibodies against HIV-1 between a new rapid test using oral mucosal transudate (OMT) samples and ELISA using serum samples. Methods Two-hundred patients who were positive for anti-HIV-1 antibodies by serum ELISA and confirmed by Western blot to be infected with HIV, and 600 healthy human controls negative for anti-HIV-1 antibodies by serum ELISA, were eligible for this study. OMT samples were collected from these subjects and subjected to a rapid test for anti-HIV-1 antibodies. The factors influencing the performance of the rapid test were analyzed. Results Of the 200 OMT specimens from HIV-infected patients, 198 showed positive reaction, 2 showed negative reaction. Among the 198 positive reactions, 192 (96%) were "clear" and easy to make decisions, 4 (2%) were "faint", 2(1%) were "very faint" and required professionals to make decisions. The rapid test was negative in all the 600 OMT specimens from the control group. Conclusions The consistence in the detection of anti-HIV-1 antibodies between the OMT rapid test and serum ELISA was 99% in HIV-positive specimens, 100% in HIV-negative specimens, and 99.75% in all the specimens.
