Objective To evaluate the reason of the complications after treating by the intermaxillary traction with the titanium screw and put forward the measures of prevention these complications in mandibular fractures.MethodsOne hundred and twenty-six cases with mandibular underwent intermaxillary traction and fixation with tapping titanium screw were observed and counted for their complications in 1-30 days after finishing the operation.Summarized and analyzed the reasons of the complications.ResultsThe rate of complications was 9.52%(12/126),4 cases of titanium screw loosen,2 cases of bad occlusion,1 case of titanium screw fallen off,1 case of titanium screw around infected,1 case of root tip damage,1 case of titanium screw maxillary penetrated into the sinus,1 case of nerve injury,1 case of dental ulcer.Conclusion The intermxillary traction with the titanium screw is simple,safety and healthy method,but the postoperative complications also don't allow to ignore,surgeons should be controlled strictly,standardized operation,try to avoid complications.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of the expression levels of serum hypoxia induced factor-1α(HIF-1α),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),carcino-embryonic antigen(CEA)and CA125 in predicting the recurrence or metastasis of colon cancer after radical resection.Methods Totally 123 cases of colon cancer after radical surgery in our hospital from July 2009 to December 2013 were performed the retrospective analysis.The correlation between the serum markers levels with the recurrence or metastasis was dynamically analyzed.Results (1)The HIF-1αand CEA levels after operation in 123 cases of co-lon cancer were decreased significantly compared with before operation;(2)The HIF-1α,CEA and CA125 levels in 39 cases of re-currence or metastasis were significantly increased compared with those in 84 cases of non-recurrence or non-metastasis (P <0.05);(3)in 39 cases of recurrence or metastasis,the HIF-1α and CEA levels in recurrence or metastasis were increased signifi-cantly compared with those after the end of chemotherapy (P <0.05);(4)HIF-1αwas positively correlated to VEGF(P <0.05). Conclusion The serum levels of HIF-1αand CEA in the patients with colon cancer are positively correlated with recurrence or me-tastasis,the dynamically combined detection of serum markers has an important significance for predicting and early find recurrence or metastasis after radical operation in colon cancer.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of preoperative chemoradiotherapy or postoperative adjutant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 76 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer from 2011 to 2016 in Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analysed.A total of 30 cases received preoperative chemoradiotherapy (group A),5 of them received concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with bevacizumab target treatment.The other 46 cases (group B) were given post-operative adjutant chemoradiotherapy.Both group A and group B were treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).The chemoradiotherapy regime was as follows:the median of target volume dose was 50.4 Gy (45.0-55.8 Gy);the median of chemotherapy sessions was 26 times (24-28 times).Capecitabine tablets (825 mg/m2,twice a day) were also given on the date of chemotherapy.The clinical data and follow-up results of all patients were compared between the two groups.Results The five-year disease free survival rates of group A and group B were 66.7% and 57.7%,respectively;and the five-year overall survival rates of group A and group B were 81.8% and 73.0%,respectively,no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups (P=0.599,0.489).The anus-preserving rates of patients with tumor below peritoneal reflection in group A and group B were 56.52% and 25.00%,there was statistically significant difference (P=0.045).In the group A,86.6 % patients resulted in down-staging,including 3 cases with complete pathologic response.Conclusion Preoperative chemotherapy could down tumor stage and improve rates of anal preservation and local control without increasing possibility of postoperative complications.Preoperative chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab target treatment may be more effective in lowering tumor stage.

Heat stroke can be divided into two types: exertional and classic, mainly manifested as a clear history of exposure to hot temperature/high heat environment or intense physical activity in hot environment, core temperature exceeding 40 ℃, accompanied by central nervous system changes (altered consciousness, epilepsy, psychiatric symptoms, etc.) and multiple organ damage, including respiratory failure, impaired liver and kidney function, rhabdomyolysis, coagulation disorders, abdominal distension, and diarrhea. Its pathology may be manifested as organ endothelial cell damage, inflammatory response, extensive thrombosis, and bleeding tendency. The main treatment measures are cooling therapy, and when combined with other organ damage, organ support or replacement therapy should be carried out in time, including blood transfusion to improve coagulation function and blood purification therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may improve the prognosis of patients with ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy. We reported a case of a firefighter with sudden impaired consciousness and high fever during forest fire fighting. The patient was sent to a local hospital and his head computed tomography (CT) results showed unclear cerebral gyrus, suggesting severe cerebral edema, and finally diagnosed as heat stroke. After being transferred to Liuzhou Workers' Hospital, his condition continued to deteriorate and signs of multiple organ failure appeared. The patient's cerebral edema was reversed and further development of heat stroke was prevented through early cooling, sedation and anti-epilepsy, endotracheal intubation ventilator-assisted breathing, anti-infection, fluid resuscitation, infusion of fresh frozen plasma and platelets to improve coagulation function, immunomodulatory therapy, renal replacement therapy, and timely artificial liver therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was ordered during the rehabilitation phase, and the patient recovered well at discharge, leaving no obvious neurological sequelae. Its prognosis is much better than that predicted at admission.
