Objective To compare the clinical effects in patients treated with anterograde reamed intramedullary nail (IMN) and dynamic compression plate (DCP) for diaphyseal fractures of the humerus.Methods Forty-seven patients with diaphyseal fractures of the humerus,were divided into two groups by random digits table:IMN group (23 cases) and DCP group (24 cases),IMN and DCP were performed fixation,respectively.After the surgery,perioperative,functional outcomes of shoulder and elbow,postoperative complications between two groups were compared.Results The average follow-up time was (22.3 ± 5.7)months,3 cases were lost in 12-month-follow-up,1 case in IMN group and 2 cases in DCP group.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss in IMN group were significantly shorter than those in DCP group [(67.7 ± 15.3) min vs.(87.0 ± 12.5) min,(106.3 ±57.6) ml vs.(226.7 ±60.2) ml,P＜0.05].The incidence rate of subacromial impingement in IMN group was significantly higher than that in DCP group [18.2％ (4/22) vs.0,P ＜ 0.05].The incidence rate of wound infection in IMN group was significantly better than that in DCP group [4.5％(1/22) vs.22.7％(5/22),P ＜ 0.05].There were no statistically significant differences between two groups in other indexes (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions DCP has some advantage in perioperative period,but they are comparable in the functional outcomes of shoulder and elbow and complications.

Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of diagnostic ultrasound associated with microbubbles to open the blood brain barrier(BBB).Methods Microbubbles were injected through caudal vein,the rat head was radiated by GE Vivid 7 diagnostic ultrasound immediately.The radiated depth was located in the basal ganglia assisted by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)scanning.The degree of BBB opening was evaluated by enhanced MRI and Evans blue dyeing.The safety was inspected by observation of cell morphology under hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining.Results After the rat head radiated by diagnostic ultrasound with microbubbles,signal enhancement of the radiated area was observed on post contrast T1-weighted images.Red fluorescence of Evans blue was detected by fluorescence microscope in the same area.Normal cellular morphology and structural integrity were showed by HE staining.Conclusions The BBB of rat could be opened targetedly and noninvasively by diagnostic ultrasound associated with microbubbles.This may provide a new strategy for the drugs and stem cells treatment in the central nervous system diseases.

Objective To investigate the relationship of low level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to contrast induced-acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods A total of 1500 consecutive patients,who underwent PCI from January 2009 to May 2011,were enrolled in this study.There was no limit on age or sex,and all patients were self-identified as Han ethnic group.Patients were excluded from this study,however,if they had a history of malignant tumor,urinary tract infection,nephrectomy operation,chronic peritoneal or hemodialysis,or if they had been exposed to contrast media within the past 14 days.CI-AKI was defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine ≥44.2 μmol/L or a relative ≥25％ increase in serum creatinine within 72 hours after procedure.Low level of HDL-C was defined as ＜ 1.04 mmol/L.Monofactorial and multivariate analysis was performed to identify risk factors for CI-AKI and low level of HDL-C in these patients.Results Among the 1500 patients with coronary heart disease,CI-AKI occurred in 246 patients after PCI and the overall incidence of CI-AKI was 16.4％.The patients with low level of HDL-C had a higher incidence of CI-AKI than those without it (21.5％ vs.13.3％ in total,P ＜0.01),no matter that they had suffered from chronic kidney disease (39.8％ vs.26.5％,P ＜ 0.05) or not (17.7％ vs.9.7％,P ＜ 0.01).By multivariate analysis,low level of HDL-C was identified as an independent risk factor for CI-AKI and smoke,great BMI as well as anemia were considered as prediction factors for low level of HDL-C.Conclusion The patients with low level of HDL-C have a higher incidence of CI-AKI after PCI.Low level of HDL-C is one of risk factors for CI-AKI after PCI in patients either with chronic kidney disease or not.Great BMI,smoking as well as anemia are independent predictors for low HDL-C level in these patients.

Objective To explore the availability and safety of conducting low-pressure TURP assisted by a home-made cystometry and warning system.Methods 167 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients admitted from Jan 2014 to Jan 2016 were randomly assigned into cystostomy group (group A) and non-cystostomy group (group B). In group A (n = 85), 42 patients (group A1) were performed percutaneous cystostomy + TURP, and 43 (group A2) were performed continuous flushing sheath TURP. In group B (n = 82), 42 patients (group B1) were received percutaneous cystostomy + TURP, and 40 (group B2) were received continuous lfushing sheath TURP. In group A, bladder pressure was monitored in real time with a cystometry and was monitored by bladder puncture using a home-made siphon, ensuring low bladder pressure throughout TURP. Serum Na+ levels were measured before and after operation in all four groups. The operation time, the intraoperative bleeding, the weight of resected prostates and the time before which urine turned clear were recorded. The IPSS, maximum lfow rate (Qmax), postvoid residual volume (PVR) and life quality score (QOL) were evaluated.Results While no significant differences were found between group A1 and A2, there were significant differences between group B1 and B2, indicating cystostomy group was safer than non-cystostomy group. When compared group A1 with B1, or group A2 with B2, it showed that the safe operation time to perform prostate tissue resection was longer in cystostomy group; the weight of the resected prostates was heavier; the time before which urine turned clear were shorter; and the IPSS improvement was better. These findings presented better therapeutic effects in cystostomy group than in non-cystostomy group.Conclusions This home-made cystometry and warning system could timely detect high bladder pressure state during TURP, making it possible to avoid of high pressure, ensuring low bladder pressure lfushing during the operation, lengthening the safe operation time, increasing tissue resection ratio, reducing transurethral resection syndrome, thus helping TURP to be safer.

Objective To observe the value of ultrasonography, MR and MSCT in diagnosing intravitreous autologous eyelashes. Methods Thirty-two New Zealand rabbits were averagely divided into 4 groups (A, B, C and D) randomly, and 1, 5, 10 eyelashes were implanted into vitreous body of rabbits respectively in group A, B, and C, whereas rabbits in group D (the control group) were only exposed to sham operation without implanting any eyelashes. After one week, all rabbits underwent ultrasound, MR and MSCT examination, then the specimens of vitreous bodies were obtained and observed pathologically. Results All the implanted intravitreous eyelashes were displayed with ultrasound. Intravitreous eyelashes in group A were not detected with MRI, whereas in 3 rabbits of group B and all of group C were displayed on T2WI, T2*WI and SWI sequences. MSCT detected intravitreous eyelashes in only 6 experimental animals. Conclusion Ultrasonography should be considered as the first choice for diagnosis of intravitreous autologous eyelashes. Different sequences of MRI have various advantages in diagnosing intravitreous autologous eyelashes, whereas the diagnostic value of MSCT is limited.

Objective To research early pathological morphology and clinical significance of perforated duodenal ulcer (PDU) closed after non-surgical treatment. Methods Observed morphological changes of duodenal ulcer (DU) lesion with gastroscopy for 302 patients of PDU with non-surgical treatment in early period,when the perforation closed and measured up the clinical indicators during this hospitalization.Results There were 255 patients to be diagnosed with DU caused the perforation. These lesions were characteristic and shown the PDU closed at the bottom and the deep concave ulcers, except for 1 case which complicated by duodenal fistula. These ulcer types were diverse according to the time difference after treatment. No case of re-perforated ulcers or recurrence of peritonitis caused by gastroscopy. Conclusions Deep concave ulcer with A1 phase mainly is an early pathological manifestations of the DU after treated the PDU with non-surgical method characteristically. The wall of the closure of the serosal side is an original form closed perforated ulcer by non-surgical treatment. The risk of perforation associated with the following factors:( 1 )A single DU is located in the anterior wall region. (2)The shape of two kissing DU. (3)The diameter of DU ≥ 1.1 cm. In this case,early diagnosis by using endoscopy is a safe way.

Objective To investigate the value of positron emisson tomography-computed tomography ( PET-CT) in monitoring the residual lesions in lipiodol sedimentary region and extrahepatic metastastic lesions of hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC) with alpha fetoproteins ( AFP) positive after interventional therapy. Methods The data of 20 cases with primary HCC confirmed by histopathology were retrospectively analyzed. Their AFP levels decreased to normal range after interventional treatments, but rose to abnormal high level during following-up. After the abdominal routine imaging examinations, the definite diagnosis of the residual lesions in lipiodol sedimentary region or extrahepatic lesions can't be made confidently. All cases were scanned by PET-CT, and according to their PET-CT results, the further treatments were given and the therapeutic results were monitored with radiology and AFP tests. Results In all 20 cases, 10 of them were detected to have the extrahepatic metastastic lesions by PET-CT, including 4 with abdominal wall metastasis upon the liver, 3 with solitary pulmonary metastasis with diameter less than 1 cm, 2 with mesenteric mestastasis, 1 with mestastasis of operative incisions, but these lesions were neglected by abdominal routine imaging examinations. Eight cases showed the uneven lipiodol sedimentary region in the primary lesion by CT or MRI examination, but can't be diagnosed whether it was residual lesion with other examinations including DSA. A definite diagnosis was obtained by PET-CT. In 2 cases, lymph nodes less than 1. 5 cm were found in the hepatic portal area(PHA) and retroperitoneum on CT images,which was determined to be metastatic by PET-CT. All the detected lesions were given further treatments of surgery or interventional therapy. Most patients showed decreased AFP levels except the 2 patients with lymph node metastasis. The imaging examinations also indicated that the treatments had a good effect on lesions. Conclusion In the patients with HCC and abnormal high levels of AFP, in addition to abdominal routine imaging examinations, PET-CT is beneficial for those who is suspected of residual lesions in lipiodol sedimentary region or extrahepatic metastasis.
