Objective To investigate the changes of microelement in curde and calcined pyritum, and approach the process mechanism of pyritum. Methods The crude and calcined pyritum were extracted in water decocting. Subsequently, the content of ten elements was determined by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP) and compared. Results After being calcined, the content of Pb in pyritum decreased, while the content of the other nine elements investigated all increased in different degrees. Conclision After being calcined, the content of ten elements in pyritum changed largely.

Objective To improve the successful rate of endoscopic biliary drainage. Methods The experience of biliary drainage with duodenoscope for biliary obstruction from January 1998 to September 2001 was reviewed retrospectively. Endoscopic naso -biliary drainage (ENBD) , endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) and endoscopic metal biliary endoprothesis (EMBE) were performed in 242 cases, 43 cases and 35 cases respectively. Results Of 320 cases with biliary obstruction, 305 received successful drainage under endoscopy and 15 cases failed. Ten cases with ENBD failed but got successful drainage after modulating the site of naso-biliary tube or reinserting another tube. For 3 cases failed with ERBD, we chose plastic stents with appropriate length for 2 cases to achieve fluent drainage and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) was managed for another case after endoscopic management failed. For 2 cases with EMBE failed, one stent couldn' t exceed the tumor stricture site and one was obstructed by tumor implantion at one month after EMBE. Either a metal stent or a plastic stent was replaced through previous prothesis in these two failed cases. Conclusions The effect of endoscopic biliary drainage for biliary obstruction is definite. Mostly the drainage failure can be avoided as early as possible by analyzing the causes and taking some corresponding measures to correct it.

Results Of all,26 patients were followed up for averaged 14months.According to Broberg score,the post-operative function was excellent in 9 patients(35%),good in 13(50%)and fair in 4(15%),with no poor results and with excellence rate of 85%. Conclusion Radial head prosthesis replacement can better restore the stability,flexion and extension of the elbow as well as the rotational motion of the forearm and is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the value of endoscopy in etiological diagnosis and treatment of post - cholecystectomy syndrome. Methods Three hundred and twenty - six patients with post -cholecystectomy syndrome received ERCP. To reveral the etiology of post - cholecystectomy syndrome. For those with choledocholithiasis and those with papillary inflammatory stricture EST or EPBD were given those with papillary diverticulum and SOD EPBD were given, those with papillary tumor and hepatobiliary carcinoma EMBE were given and for those with bililary stricture in middle part of bile duct, purulent cholangitis, chloedocholithiasis(stones not excluded in one time)and bile leakage ENBD were used. Results ERCP was succeeded in 315 cases(96. 6%), 24 cases had no abnormal endoscopic findings view. 191 cases of choledocholithiasis 186 were totally get rid of stone after one to three times of opretion EST or EPBD was successfully given to 39 cases of 39 had papillary inflammatory stricture. Nine had papillary diverticulum which oppressed the papillary orifice, 7 had SOD, all of them were dealt with EPBD. Sixteen had stricture in the middle portion of bile duct, 11 of which were treated with ENBD. In 6 cases of papillary tumor and 5 hepatobiliary carcinoma patients jaundice improved significantly after received EMBE. Residual stones in cholecystic duct were seen in 4 cases. In 2 cases of bile leakage after cholecystectomy, ENBD was successfully carried out to avoid another operation. Complications were noted in 15 cases(4. 8%) of them. pancreatitis 11 cases, cholangitis 3 eases and hemorrhage of upper gastrointestinal tract one ease. Conclusion ERCP can find out the defenite cause of post - cholecystectomy syndrome at early stage and take corresponding endoscopic therapeutic measures. The complications of ERCP can be avoided by skillful operator.

ObjectiveTo assess whether intravenous contrast medium would result in acute kidney injury (AKI), and to determine the risk factors associated with contrast induced AKI (CI-AKI) and its outcome.Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted in intensive care unit (ICU) of Fuyang People's Hospital in Zhejiang Province from January 1st 2011 to December 31st 2014. All enrolled critically ill patients had accepted CT scan, and the hospital length of stay was longer than 48 hours, and the patients who needed renal replacement treatment were excluded. Patients were divided into contrast medium group and control group. AKI was defined according to Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria (serum creatinine content over 26.4μmol/L or 50% increase of it from baseline within 48 hours). The incidence of AKI was compared between the two groups, and risk factors for CI-AKI were determined by multiple logistic regression analysis. The relationship of CI-AKI and outcomes were also analyzed. Results A total of 2 370 critically ill patients were enrolled during the period. 474 (20.0%) of the 2 370 patients received contrast medium, and 70 of them suffered from CI-AKI (14.8%). In 1 896 patients who did not receive contrast medium, 235 of them suffered from AKI (12.4%). There was no significant difference in the incidence of AKI between two groups (χ2= 1.905,P = 0.168). After several confounding factors were adjusted, multiple logistic regression analysis showed that contrast medium was not found to associate with AKI in critically ill patients [odds ratio (OR) = 1.66, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.72-3.90,P = 0.201], and high acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score (OR = 1.70, 95%CI = 1.33-2.40,P< 0.001), sepsis (OR= 8.06, 95%CI =3.28-17.80,P< 0.001), shock (OR= 3.57, 95%CI = 1.73-8.01,P< 0.001) and use of nephrotoxic agent (OR= 1.96, 95%CI = 1.25-2.63,P = 0.015) were risk factors of CI-AKI. Ten of 70 patients with CI-AKI died (14.3%), and 21 out of 404 patients without CI-AKI, died (5.2%). There was no significant difference in the mortality rate (χ2= 8.060, P = 0.005). It was shown by multiple logistic regression analysis that age (OR=1.30, 95%CI = 1.05-1.71,P = 0.027), male sex (OR = 1.13, 95%CI = 1.05-1.20,P = 0.039), APACHEⅡscore (OR = 1.07, 95%CI = 1.03-1.18,P< 0.001), and sepsis (OR = 3.29, 95%CI = 1.92-6.46,P< 0.001) were highly associated with mortality of critically ill patients in whom contrast medium was used. However, the occurrence of CI-AKI showed no influence on the mortality rate (OR = 1.70, 95%CI = 0.88-3.56,P = 0.227).Conclusions The use of contrast medium is not a risk factor of CI-AKI in critically ill patients. CI-AKI will not raise mortality rate in ICU patients.

BACKGROUND:Posterior maleolar fractures are often accompanied by ankle joint instability,if the stability of ankle joint is not recovered,it is prone to traumatic arthritis of the ankle.However,the indications of internal fixation of posterior maleolar fractures remain controversial.OBJECTIVE:To explore the indications for internal fixation of posterior maleolar fractures by comparing the clinical effects of posterior maleolar fractures treated with internal fixation or not.METHODS:42 patients with maleolar fractures involving posterior ankle were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2007 to January 2012.According to preoperative CT scans of ankle joint,42 cases were divided into the internal fixation group and the non-fixation group.27 cases in the fixation group had posterior maleolar fractures in more than 10％of the distal tibial articular surface and/or dislocation of the posterior maleolar fractures greater than 2 mm,and were treated with screws.15 cases in the non-fixation group had posterior maleolar fractures in less than 10％of the distal tibial articular surface anddislocation of the posterior maleolar fractures less than 2 mm,and were treated with non-operation.The average healing time of posterior maleolar fractures,postoperative complications,ankle-hindfoot scores of American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society were compared during the folow-up postoperatively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of 42 patients with ankle fractures achieved bony union within 6 months.In the fixation group,1 case had postoperative superficial infection of the wounds in the medial ankle and lateral ankle,and the wound got healed completely with anti-infection therapy.One case in each group had postoperative superficial necrosis in the incisional edges,and got healed by dress changing.For the other cases,there was no wound infection,internal fixation loosening,breakage or failure and other adverse events during the folow-ups.Ankle functions were evaluated one year after operations according to the ankle-hindfoot score standard of American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society.The score of the fixation group was (83.74±10.35) points,with excelent ankle functions in 10 cases,good in 12 cases,fair in 5 cases,and no poor case,and the rate of patients achieving excelent and good ankle functions reached 82％; the score of non-fixation group was (85.60±10.40) points,with excelent ankle functions in 7 cases,good in 5 cases,fair in 3 cases and no poor case.The rate of patients achieving excelent and good ankle functions reached 80％.The ankle function evaluation results of both groups showed no statistical difference (P＞0.05).It is reasonable to consider posterior maleolar fractures is higher than 10％of the distal tibial articular surface and/or dislocation of the posterior maleolar fractures greater than 2 mm as the indications for internal fixation of posterior maleolar fractures.

Objective To investigate the outcome of microsurgical treatment and its influencing factors in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.Methods The consecutive patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage treated with the early or ultra-early microsurgery were enrolled retrospectively.The Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) was used to assess the outcomes of patients at discharge.GOS 4-5 was defined as good outcome,and GOS 1-3 was defined as poor outcome.Results A total of 147 patients with aneurysmal subaraclnoid hemorrhage were enrolled.One hundred and twelve patients (76.2％) had good outcomes.There were significant differences in the proportions of preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores (12.8 ± 2.8 vs.7.5 ± 3.8;t =7.525,P ＜0.001),low Hunt-Hess grade (83.0％ vs.31.4％;x2 =34.318,P ＜ 0.001),size of aneurysm (x2 =9.531,P =0.009),preoperative rebleeding (6.3％ vs.25.7％;x2 =8.506,P =0.003),preoperative brain herniation (4.5％ vs.40.0％;x2 =26.846,P ＜ 0.001),initial CT scan showing intracerebral hemorrhage (19.6％ vs.48.6％;x2 =11.449,P =0.002),and intraventricular hemorrhage (8.9％ vs.40.0％;x2 =18.846,P ＜0.001) between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the larger aneurysm (odds ratio [OR] 3.194,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.458-6.999;P =0.004),older age (OR 1.054,95％ CI 1.013-1.097;P=0.010),lower preoperative GCS score (OR 0.539,95％ CI 0.410-0.724;P ＜ 0.001),and preoperative brain herniation (OR 3.633,95％ CI 1.039-12.700;P =0.043) were the independent risk factors for poor outcomes.Conclusions After active surgical treatment,most of the patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage have good outcomes,however,patients with older age,larger aneurysms,lower preoperative GCS scores,and preoperative brain herniation usually have poor outcomes.
