Objective To compare the clinical effects of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and proximal femoral nail antirotation-Ⅱ (PFNA-Ⅱ) in the internal fixation of femoral intertrochanteric fracture.Methods A retrospective study was conducted of the 54 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture who had been treated at our department from May 2009 through July 2014.During May 2009 and November 2011,27 of them were treated with PFNA;during December 2011 and July 2014,the other 27 of them were treated with PFNA-Ⅱ.The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time,intraoperative blood loss volume,hidden blood loss volume,intraoperative and postoperative complications,fracture healing time and Harris hip score at the last follow-up.Results In the PFNA group,27 patients were followed up for an average time of 22.6 ± 4.8 months.In the PFNA-Ⅱ group,27 patients were followed up for an average time of 19.5 ± 4.6 months.The PFNA group had significantly more intraoperative blood loss volume (130.1 ± 74.3 mL),and significantly higher rates of intraoperative lateral wall fracture of the proximal femur (18.5％,5/27),postoperative lateral thigh soft tissue irritation (22.2％,6/27) and postoperative thigh pain (22.2％,6/27) than the PFNA-Ⅱ group [46.3 ± 23.1 mL,0,3.7％ (1/27),3.7％ (1/27),respectively] (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in operation time,hidden blood loss,postoperative complications of internal diseases,fracture healing time,or Harris hip score of last follow-up (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with PFNA,PFNA-Ⅱ may lead to a smaller volume of intraoperative blood loss and a lower incidence of complications related to internal fixation.

Objective:To analyze and compare difference of ultrasonic blood flow of left internal mammary artery(LIMA) and right internal mammary artery(RIMA)as graft to left anterior descending artery(LAD) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCABG).Methods:From October 2017 to October 2019, a total of 363 patients who underwent OPCAB including 329 patients in LIMA-LAD group and 34 patients in RIMA-LAD group, were included in this study. Transthoracic ultrasound examination on IMA was performed before OPCABG. The blood flow , the value of PI(pulsation index) and diastolic flow(DF) of LIMA and RIMA to left anterior descending were measured and recorded by intraoperative TTFM. Patients underwent coronary artery CT examinations at 1 week after OPCABG to discover the patency of grafts.Results:The pre-operative diameter of RIMA was larger and the blood flow and pulsation index of RIMA was better than that of LIMA before OPCABG( P<0.001). But there was no significant difference in the flow, pulsation index and DF value of graft between the two groups after IMA were anastomosed to LAD( P>0.05). In situ skeletonized graft of RIMA did not show the advantage of increased blood flow. Compared with the preoperative parameters of flow of internal mammary artery, both the left and right grafts of IMA were significantly better in blood flow and pulsation index( P<0.001). Considering the remarkable difference in age between the two groups, Flow, PI and DF were compared again after propensity score matching, and there was still no statistical difference between the two groups( P>0.05). A total of 313 patients in LIMA-LAD group completed coronary CTA examination one week after surgery, among which 4 grafts had different degrees of problems. A total of 34 patients in RIMA-LAD group completed coronary CTA examination, one case indicated that the CTA imaging in distal segment was not clear, and the other results had no obvious abnormality. There was no significant difference in postoperative rate of coronary CTA completion( P=0.381) and rate of graft failure( P=0.405) between the two groups. Conclusion:Compared with the preoperative parameters of blood flow of internal mammary artery, both the left and right IMA grafts are significantly better in flow and pulsation index. The pre-operative diameter of RIMA is larger and the blood flow and pulsation index of RIMA is better than that of LIMA before OPCABG. But there is no significant difference in the flow, pulsation index and DF value of graft between the two groups after IMA are anastomosed to LAD. In situ skeletonized graft of RIMA do not show the advantage of increased blood flow.

To explore the operation methods and indications of the duodenoscopic papillotomy (IEST) with endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (IENBD) for the treatment of duodenal papilla stenosis during the course of common bile duct operation.The clinical data of 219 cases of cholecystolithiasis with choledocholith and the stenosis of papillary underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy (IEST) plus endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (IENBD) in the Second People's Hospital of Chengdu were retrospectively analyzed.It was successful in 198 cases who had the gallbladder and common bile duct stones removed,and endoscopic papillary dissection was performed and the nasobiliary tube was successfully inserted.Nasobiliary drainage was successful in 186 cases (93.9％) of 198 cases.No liquid outflow was observed in nasobiliary drainage in 7 cases (3.5％).Nasal bile duct slipped early in 5 case (2.5％).Primary closure of bile duct incision was completed in 198 cases.It failed in 4 cases (2.0％) who had the bile leakage with primary closure of duct incision.Mild pancreatitis after operation occurred in 3 cases (1.5％).Nose bile duct ligation was performed in 1 case (0.5％).The overall postoperative complication rate was 4.0％ (8/198).IEST + IENBD in open laparotomy was successful in 21 cases.No perforation of intestine and bile duct,bleeding,severe pancreatitis and other complications and death were detected postoperatively in two groups.During the course of laparoscopy and open laparotomy,IEST + IENBD in treating cholecystolithiasis with choledocholith and the stenosis of papillary and primary closure of duct incision after the endoscopic nasobiliary drainage is safe and effective.

Objective:To study the etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of urethra hemangioma by ret-rospective analysis of the clinical literatures. Methods: Three patients underwent transurethral plasmakinetic vapor-ization(TUPKVP), and two patients were performed with traditional operation. The clinical data of 5 patients was analyzed in combination with related literature. Results: Four patients were cured after one treatment, and one pa-tient was experienced TUPKVP three times before the bleeding was totally controlled, urethral hemangioma were confirmed by pathological examination. No recurrence and short-term or persistent complication was reported with a minimum follow-up of 12 months (from 12 months to 48 months). Conclusions:The urethra hemangioma located at the external orifice of urethra could be treated with traditional operation or TUPKVP is a minimally invasive, safe and effective method for the treatment for urethra hemangioma. Prognosis of urethral hemangioma is good.

Objective:To explore the prognosis and risk factors for conversion from off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) to coronary bypass grafting (CABG) during surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 2613 patients with elective OPCAB in our hospital from 2001 to 2012, there were 62 (2.37%) patients converted to CABG during the operation as Conversion group, the rest 2551 patients were set as Non-conversion group. The peril-operative baseline clinical data and prognosis condition were compared between 2 groups. The risk factors causing the in-operative conversion were studied with binary logistic regression analysis.
Results: The total conversion rate was 2.37%, including 42 patients of hemodynamic instability, 6 with dififculty of target vessel exposure, 9 with malignant arrhythmia, 3 with graft occlusion and 2 patients with other reasons. Compared with Non-conversion group, the Conversion group had increased post-operative drainage and ventilation time, higher rates of second thoracotomy for stop bleeding and higher peril-operative mortality. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, previous history of CABG, NYHA class≥3, LVEF≤40%and left main disease were the independent risk factors for in-operative conversion.
Conclusion: Conversion from OPCAB to CABG during the operation would be result in signiifcantly higher morbidity and mortality in relevant patients.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcome of navigation-assisted percutaneous cannulated screw fixation and posterior percutaneous plate fixation for Day type II crescent fracture dislocation of pelvis (CFDP).Methods:A retrospective cohort analysis was performed on clinical data of 40 patients with Day type II CFDP treated in General Hospital of Central Theater Command of PLA from January 2012 to June 2021. There were 23 males and 17 females, with age range of 42-73 years [(54.2±7.8)years]. A total of 19 patients were treated with navigation-assisted percutaneous cannulated screw fixation (navigation group) and 21 with posterior percutaneous plate fixation (plate group). The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and in-hospital time were compared between the two groups. The reduction quality was evaluated by Matta radiographic standard at day 2 after surgery. The functional recovery was assessed by Majeed functional score at 3 and 6 months after surgery. The postoperative complications were observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 10-24 months [(13.6±2.9)months]. The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and in-hospital time was (2.4±0.3)cm, (43.1±5.2)minutes, (48.4±18.4)ml and (14.4±1.9)days in navigation group, showing significant difference compared with plate group [(8.8±0.4)cm, (132.2±19.4)minutes, (302.9±57.5)ml, (18.9±3.7)days] (all P<0.01). According to Matta radiographic standard at day 2 after surgery, the excellent and good rate was 89% in navigation group (excellent in 13 patients, satisfactory in 4 and poor in 2) and 95% in plate group (excellent in 15 patients, satisfactory in 5 and poor in 1) ( P>0.05). According to Majeed criteria at 3 months after surgery, the excellent and good rate was 89% in navigation group (excellent in 12 patients, good in 5 and poor in 2) and 95% in plate group (excellent in 15 patients, good in 5 and poor in 1) ( P>0.05). According to Majeed criteria at 6 months after surgery, the excellent and good rate was 95% in navigation group (excellent in 14 patients, good in 4 and poor in 1) and 95% in plate group (excellent in 17 patients, good in 3 and poor in 1) ( P>0.05). There was no iatrogenic neurovascular injury. The incidence of complications was 11% (2/19) in navigation group, including one patients with sacroiliac screw loosening and one with posterior iliac screw penetrating the medial cortex of the bone, while that was 29% (6/21) in plate group, including two patients with skin tenderness, two with deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremity and two with incision infection ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For Day type II CFDP, both navigation-assisted percutaneous cannulated screw fixation and posterior percutaneous plate fixation can attain satisfactory efficacy, but the former has advantages of shorter operation time, less surgical trauma, less bleeding, shorter in-hospital time and lower incidence of complications.

Objective To make a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in recurrence and metastasis of the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), some invasion related oncogenes, and growth factors have been investigated. Methods The studies were seperately carried out, the results of which were summarized in this article with relation to tumor size and invasiveness of HCC.Results The aberration rates of p53 and CDKN2 in HCC were 45.9% and 36.4% respectively, which were higher in invasive HCC compared with non-invasive HCC. H-ras expression was positive in 29.3% of HCC, which was associated with recurrence and extrahepatic metastasis of HCC. Intralesional injection of H-ras antisense gene markedly inhibited the tumor growth and metastasis of HCC in nude mice. The positive rates of transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and c-erbB-2 were 45.7%, 47.1% and 92.3% respectively. The expression of EGFR was closely related to TGF-alpha, which was related to HCC recurrence. But no obvious difference of TGF-alpha or c-erbB-2 expression was found between HCC with and without recurrence, or with and without extrahepatic metastasis. Expression of nm23 / tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-2 was positively associated with the prognosis of HCC patients (Log-rank, P<0.001). The alterative rates of above-mentioned genes and growth factors in small HCC were slightly lower than that in large ones, but no significant difference was shown except the p53 mutation.Conclusions The p53/CDKN2 mutation, overexpression of H-ras/EGFR, were associated with the invasiveness and recurrence of HCC. H-ras antisense gene might be of potential implication in the control of HCC recurrence and metastasis. Expression of nm23/TIMP-2 was closely related to the prognosis of HCC patients. Biological characteristics remained critical points to the prognosis even in small HCC.
