Based on both domestic and abroad research results concerning the local therapeutic efficacy, influence factors, survival time and prognosis of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treating recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), this paper aims to make a review of medical literatures about RFA treatment of recurrent HCC that were published in Chinese and in English during the period from 2005 to 2014, and to analyze the related factors that may influence the local therapeutic efficacy and survival rate. The results indicate that the recurrent tumor size, tumor number, recurrence interval, serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) level, serum prothrombin, etc. are important factors that will affect the therapeutic efficacy of recurrent HCC. At the same time, the results point out that the study of imaging predictors can help suggest the different recurrent types, which is very useful in making individualized follow-up strategy and in monitoring tumor recurrence. Local treatment, with RFA being the main method, together with comprehensive therapies, including other new technologies and new drugs, will improve the current clinical situation in treating recurrent HCC.

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an inflammatory eye disease associated with thyroid autoimmune disorder.The traditional treatments have yielded limited efficacy but with some side effects.Recently,researches have shown that some new immunosupressants may be used for the treatment of TAO with significantly improved symptoms,and reduction in clinical activity score.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the risk factors of recurrent groin hernia. Methods Data came from all hernia repairs recorded in our hospital between 1991 and 2001. A total of 1 082 cases of groin hernia was analyzed through Cox proportional hazard model to determine the relative risks between recurrence and mode of admission, types of groin hernia, repair methods (traditional/tension free hernioplasty), and post operative complications.Results From 1991 to 2001,1 082 groin hernia operations were performed in our hospital, 88.9% for primary hernia and 11.2% for recurrent hernia. As compared with traditional hernia repair methods, Lichtenstein’s tension free hernioplasty technique had less relative risk for recurrent hernia repair than that for primary hernia repair. Postoperative complications and indirect hernia were linked to an increased relative risk for recurrence. Conclusion There are many factors affecting the recurrence of inguinal hernia, but the use of tension free hernia repair may decrease re recurrence of recurrent hernia.

Objective To investigate the formaldehyde pollution in a tunnel. Methods The concentration of formaldehyde was determined in rooms for different function,in rooms with different number of furniture,in different position in a tunnel and at different time of using air cleaner in Oct. 2006. Results The total rate of exceed standard of formaldehyde level in the tunnel was 82.9%,the rate of exceed standard in the rooms disposed by all the furniture was 100%,the rate of exceed standard in the front of the tunnel was lowest (63.6%). Using the air cleaner,the rate of exceed standard decreased in degree. Conclusion The main source of formaldehyde pollution in a tunnel is furniture,formaldehyde is the main air pollutant in a tunnel.

CyberKnife is a newly developed technology in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy(SRS/SRT).Compared with conventional SRS/SRT,there are many advantages for CyberKnife in terms of being real-time image-guided,frameless,highly accurate,etc.Recently,it has been used to treat different types of malignant carcinoma including intracranial and extracranial tumors.This article summarized the contemporary progress of CyberKnife in the treatment of intracranial and extracranial tumors.

Objective To review experimental study and clinical application of materials to bile duct repair and reconstruction.Methods Comparison of different materials was made between advantages and disadvantages.Results Synthetic grafts such as vitallium,teflon are easy to handle,but have no flexion,and have foreign body reaction.Although autogenous free tissues such as venous patch and peritonium are resistant to infection,they are likley to lead to bile duct stricture because of lacking adeuqate blood supply.Vascularized neibouring tissues for repearing bile duct defect have satisfactory results.Conclusions To avoid bile duct striccture,vary measures should be taken to repair bile duct defecs;for segmental loss of bile duct,end to end anastomosis or Roux-en-Y biliary jejunal reconstruction should be applied.

Vascular bypass grafting is the most common procedure for ischemic heart disease and peripheral vascular disease. Although synthetic grafts have been developed, replacement of vessels with purely synthetic polymeric conduits often leads to the failure of such graft, especially in the grafts less than 6 mm in diameter, mainly due to the early formation of thrombosis, infection and so on. Tissue engineering is a relatively new discipline that offers the potential to create vascular grafts from autologous cells and biodegradable polymer scaffolds. It has become a promising approach for generating a biocompatible vessel graft and contributing to the long-term patency rate of small-caliber grafts. This review describes the major progress in the tissue engineering vascular grafts, including the seeding cell sources, the biodegradable scaffolds, the construction technologies of tissue-engineered vessels, as well as nanotechnology.

BACKGROUND:White blood cells involved in the inflammatory response play an important role in deep vein thrombosis.E-selectin mediates the initial process of white blood cell and vascular endothelial cell attachment during inflammation.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between deep venous thrombosis(DVT) and plasma E-selectin.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Completely random design and linear correlation analysis were performed at Department of Vascular Surgery,First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory of Chongqing Medical University from September to December 2007.PARTICIPANTS:Twenty-seven cases of deep vein thrombosis,16 males and 11 females with an average age of(57 ? 15) years,were selected,who attacked within 3 days or with aggregated condition.METHODS:Blood samples were obtained at the admission of the patients.After 72 hours,a second specimen was obtained,defined by thrombolysis and anticoagulant therapy.Determination of plasma E-selectin by ELISA and the blood coagulation abilities and platelet count of the 1st blood samples were performed,including part-time activation thromboplastin,prothrombin time,and plasma fibrinogen.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:E-selectin levels before and after treatment,blood coagulation abilities before treatment,platelet determination and E-selectin related analysis.RESULTS:No acute pulmonary embolism occurred in 27 cases of deep vein thrombosis during the treatment.One case underwent routine Forgart of thrombectomy catheter,and of the other 26 cases,15 were significantly improved,and 11 were not improved after 72 hours.Plasma E-selectin levels significantly decreased after thrombolysis,anticoagulant therapy in deep vein thrombosis patients with clinical remission(P = 0.001),but the plasma E-selectin levels were increased in those with no remission(P = 0.003).E-selectin levels and platelet count of deep vein thrombosis in patients before treatment showed no correlation(r =-0.113,P = 0.576),and were not related to fibrinogen content(r =-0.050,P = 0.802),or part-time activation thromboplastin(r=-0.046,P=0.822),and prothrombin time(r=-0.080,P=0.690).CONCLUSION:Plasma E-selectin levels are positively related to deep vein thrombosis severity.
