Since July 1992 to September 1993,57 breast lesions were identified by mam- mography in 56 patients. Fine-needle aspiration cytology was performed on 55 lesions by us- ing a stereotaxic localization technique (10/55 lesions were nonpalpable). Fine-needle aspira- tion cytology has a sensitivity of 92.5%, a specificity of 100%, and an accuracy of 96.3%, The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of mammogram with stereotaxic fine-needle aspiration cytology test were 100% respectively. 6 nonpalpable breast lesions were excised by using stereotaxic localization technique.

0.05). Conclusion The birth injury has little impact on the apoptosis of urethral peripheral muscle cells,while the estrogen decrease may increase the cell apoptosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of augmentative locking compression plate combined with bone graft in treating aseptic femoral shaft nonunion after intramedullary nailing.

METHODSTwenty-one cases with aseptic femoral shaft nonunion after intramedullary nailing from January 2007 to January 2013 were treated,including 18 males and 3 females with a mean age of 37.7 years (ranged from 23 to 64 years). The mean period of nonunion after surgery was 23.9 months (ranged from 9 to 62 months). According to Weber-Cech classification,10 of those 21 cases were hypertrophic nonunion,7 were atrophic, and 4 had oligotrophic fracture nonunion. All patients retained the original intramedullary nail, and applied with augmentation plating of 6 to 8 holes locking compression plate, unicortical fixation with 2 to 3 locking screws in the proximal or distal end, with simultaneous autologous iliac bone grafting. After treatment,all patients were allowed to partial weight-bearing until full weight-bearing according to the radiological results. All patients were followed up and were evaluated with clinical and imaging results.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 8 to 24 months, averaged (13.5±3.5) months,which showed clinical union at 4 to 8 months, averaged (6.0±1.0) months and radiological solid union at 7 to 12 months, averaged (9.1±1.5) months. No such complications as infection,hardware loosening or breaking were found.

CONCLUSIONAugmentative locking compression plate(LCP) combined with bone graft for aseptic femoral shaft nonunion after intramedullary nail has a satisfied clinical efficacy. It's an useful and simple method.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of retroperitoneal laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) donor nephrectomy using home-made single-port device.Methods From January 2011 to June 2012,11 consecutive LESS left donor nephrectomies using home-made single-port device with conventional laparoscopic instrument were performed through retroperitoneal access in our center.Results The procedures were completed and no complications occurred in all donors.Mean operative time was 149.5 min.Estimated blood loss was 30-350 ml.Warm ischemia time was 2-4 min.The urine output was prompt in all cases.Recipient graft function was normal within 2 weeks.Donor hospital stay was 5-6 days after operation.Conclusion LESS donor nephrectomy using home-made single-port device in our initial experience is feasible and safe.It is also cost-effective and minimally invasive with conventional laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.This technique is a good option for living donor nephrectomy.

Objective To explore CT features of thin-wall cavity change of pulmonary metastases from renal clear cell carcinoma after molecular targeted treatment and its clinical significance.Methods Clinical and imaging data of 2 patients with thin-wall cavity of pulmonary metastases originating from renal clear cell carcinoma after molecular targeted drug Pazopanib were reported and analyzed retrospectively.Results After resection of primary renal tumors,multiple solid metastatic lesions in the lung were detected and the lesions showed ring enhancement on the post-contrast images.After 3-month Pazopanib treatment,most of the lesions presented thin-wall cavity change.Case 1 showed slowly disease progression while case 2 suffered from spontaneous pneumothorax and died 2 months later.Conclusion Necrosis of pulmonary metastases originated from renal carcinoma can be impelled by molecular targeted Pazopanib treatment,which helped to the formation of cystic thin-wall cavity,but the influence on the prognosis still remains uncertain.

Objective To establish a method of isolation and purification of rat skeletal muscle satellite cells,and observe the characteristics of proliferation and myotube cell formation of skeletal muscle satellite cells cultured in vitro. MethodsPurified skeletal muscle satellite cells were obtained by improved two-step enzymatic digestion method and pre-plating technique.Immunohistochemical staining was employed to identify the skeletal muscle satellite cells cultured in vitro.The growth of skeletal muscle satellite cells cultured in vitro was examined by MTT assay.The differentiation of skeletal muscle satellite cells was observed by inverted microscopy. Results The skeletal muscle satellite cells with higher purity were obtained and confirmed by the high expression of desmin.When cultured in vitro,the latent phase of skeletal muscle satellite cells was the first to the second day,and the platform phase was the fifth to the sixth day.Myotube cells gradually formed when cell confluence was more than 60% to 70% or differential medium with lower fetal bovine serum was used.Conclusion The combination of improved two-step enzymatic digestion method and pre-plating technique serve as an easy and practical way to obtain skeletal muscle satellite cells with higher purity.Skeletal muscle satellite cells can form myotube cells with contraction characteristics without any special induction.

Retroperitoneal laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy offers an intrinsic advantage over conventional transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy because of the potentially lower risk for early and late donor intraperitoneal complications. Herein we presented our experience performing retroperitoneal laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy in 105 donors. All donor nephrectomy was successful. There were no donor deaths and no conversion to open surgery. Mean operation time was 112 min (range, 70-200 min). Intraoperative blood loss was 10-150 mL with an average of 30 mL. Warm ischemia time was 1.3 to 6 min with an average of 3.1 min. Postoperative retroperitoneal hematoma occurred in only one case and there were no other surgical complications. Donors were discharged from the hospital 5 to 10 days postoperation. Average postoperative hospital stay was 6.4 days. One graft was removed due to acute rejection. Delayed graft function occurred in two recipients but renal function returned to normal within four weeks. The other recipients had normal renal function in two weeks except three recipients in four weeks. We believe that retroperitoneal laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy is safe, reliable, and less invasive.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of citalopram in the treatment of depression patients after lung cancer operation. METHODS:114 depression patients after lung cancer operation were selected and randomly divided into observa-tion group and control group (n=57). Control group was given routine treatment as nutrition support and electrolyte balance,but had no anti-depression drugs;observation group was given Citalopram tablet 20 mg orally,qd. Two groups were treated for 6 weeks. Clinical efficacy,HAMD and HAMA scores,each score and total score of SF-36 were observed before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:The total effective rate of observation group was 87.72%,which was significant-ly higher than that that of control group(71.93%),with statistical significance(P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in HAMA score,HAMD score,each score and total score of SF-36 between 2 groups before treatment(P>0.05);HAMA score and HAMD score of 2 groups decreased significantly after treatment,the observation group was lower than the control group;each score and total score of SF-36 increased significantly,the observation group was higher than the control group,with statistical sig-nificance(P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Citalopram is effective and safe for depression af-ter lung cancer operation,can improve mental state and quality of life.
