Objective To investigate the functional changes of anastomosed vascular or neurovascular mini-muscle transfer and to provide experimental data to clinical application. Methods 32 New Zealand rabbits were operated on by anastomosed neurovascular mini-muscle transfer. In group A, 16 rabbits accepted the anastomosed vascular mini-muscle transfer. In group B, 16 rabbits accepted the anastomosed neurovascular mini-muscle transfer. The electromyography was measured 2 months and 3 months after operation. Results The amplitude of electrical muscle graph (EMG) data in the group A was (2.02±0.41)mV 2 months after operation, and (1.73±0.18) mV 3 months after operation. The EMG data in the group B was (3.90±0.52) mV 2 months after operation and (3.35±0.86) mV 3months after opera-tion. The difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.01). The EMG of anastomosed neu-rovasular mini-muscle transfer was significantly greater than that of anastomosed vasular transfer only.There was no significant difference in latent period of EMG between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclu-sions The muscle functional recovery of anastomosed neurovascular mini-muscle transfer is significant with less demage and no secondary deformity. The results suggest that this technique is worthy to apply for treating facial paralysis.

Objective To evaluate the complications and long-term efficacy of inside-out transobturator transvaginal tape ( TVT-O) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence ( SUI) .Methods From January 2008 to December 2013,236 consecutive female patients (mean age 56 ±9 years,range 44-88 years)with the symptom of incontinence when abdominal pressure increasing (such as walking), underwent TVT-O operation.All these patients needed pads and were diagnosed with SUI by cough test and Marshall -bonny test before surgery , with the mean international consultation committee on incontinence questionnaire short form ( ICI-Q-SF) score of 15.6 ±3.9.Two grouping methods were used:the mid-term group including patients whose follow-up time was between 6 months and 3 years, the long-term group including patients whose follow-up time >3 years,the group of patients who underwent TVT-O only and the group of patients who underwent TVT-O plus pelvic floor repair at the same time . Their clinical and follow-up data , intraoperative and postoperative complications , subjective and objective effects were recorded and analyzed.Results Of these 236 patients,there were 1 case of bladder perforation (0.4%) and 1 case of intraoperative sling exposure to vagina ( 0.4%) .Postoperative complications included 36 ( 19.1%) groin/puncture point pain ,18 (9.5%) de novo frequency of micturition ,8 (4.2%) urinary retention /difficulty of urination.All the complications were relieved after symptomatic treatment or surgery except 2 cases of urinary retention/difficulty of urination.Their symptom kept existing after urethral dilatation and sling dissection and long-term intermittent self-catheterization was needed .One hundred and eighty-nine patients completed more than six months of follow-up, with mean follow-up time of ( 35.0 ±12.5 ) months.One hundred and sixteen (61.4%) cases was arranged to mid-term group and 73(38.6%) was arranged to long-term group.88.9%patients ( 168/189 ) were cured objectively and 9.5% patients ( 18/189 ) improved. There was also a significant subjective improvement ( ICI-Q-SF scores:15.6 ±3.9 preoperative versus 6.7 ± 2.3 postoperative,P<0.01).There was no significant difference of both objective and subjective efficacy between mid-term group and long-term group ( cured +improved rate 97.4% versus 95.9%;ICI-Q-SF scores 14.3 ±2.8 versus 16.7 ±3.4 preoperative ,5.8 ±1.2 versus 7.9 ±2.0 postoperative , P>0.05 ) . Patients who underwent TVT-O and those who underwent TVT-O +pelvic floor repair had no significant difference in efficacy (cured +improved rate 97.8%versus 100.0%,P>0.05).Conclusion TVT-O is a safe,effective and durable treatment for SUI , whether or not with concomitant procedure of pelvic floor repairment.

Objective To investigate the effects of informed consent on emotion and immunologic function in patients with laryngopharynx cancer.Methods Sixty patients with laryngopharynx cancer were divided into group A and group B by random digits table with 30 cases each group.In group A patients were informed consent,and in group B family were informed consent.The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores,as well as cellular immunity function were measured before informed consent and 2 weeks after surgery.Results The SAS,SDS scores and levels of cellular immunity function between two groups,differences was no statistically significant (P > 0.05).The SAS,SDS scores 2 weeks after surgery in group A were significantly less than those in group B [(43.17 ± 7.63) scores vs.(47.84 ± 8.46) scores,(37.43 ± 8.69) scores vs.(42.67 ± 9.82) scores,P < 0.05].The CD3,CD4,NK cells 2 weeks after surgery in group A were significantly higher than those in group B (0.5762 ±0.0941 vs.0.5160 ± 0.0821,0.3832 ± 0.0751 vs.0.3140 ± 0.0561,0.1521 ± 0.0491 vs.0.1163 ± 0.0422,P < 0.05),CD8 and CD4/CD8 between two groups differences was no statistically significant (P > 0.05).Conclusion The informed consent for patients with laryngopharynx cancer may relieve emotional disorders and avoid immunologic function decreasing.

Objective To raise the awareness of adrenal Castleman′s disease by analyzing the clinical features and management of a patient with adrenal Castleman′s disease. Methods A case of adrenal Castleman′s disease of our hospital was retrospectively analyzed, including clinical feature, laboratory findings, pathology, treatment, and follow-up. All the data and pertinent literatures were reviewed and analyzed. Results An incidentaloma measuring 4. 8 cm × 6. 3 cm in the right adrenal gland was observed in a 30-year-old men in a ultrasonography examination performed due to a medical check-up. Laboratory analysis showed that the lesion was not hyperfunctioning. The patient subsequently underwent an exploratory laparotomy. Pathological examination revealed retroperitoneally localized Castleman′s disease of the hyaline vascular type. Conclusion Adrenal Castleman′s disease is a rare cause of lymph node hypertrophy, and it is necessary to keep in mind the possibility of its occurrence and take it into consideration in the differential diagnosis of any solitary, heterogeneous, and hypervascular retroperitoneal mass. The proper cooperation between the clinician and pathologist allows early diagnosis and suitable therapy.

A patient with severe hypoglycemia due to insulin-like growth factor ( IGF)-IIsecreted by a giant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura ( SFTP) was investigated through comprehensively reviewing his medical history and clinical records. The patient had severe hypoglycemia accompanied with significantly decreased serum insulin level. A solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura was found, and right pneumonectomy removed this giant tumor. Two years after the operation, the patient was fit and well with no further hypoglycemia episodes. Non-islet-cell tumor hypoglycemia should be considered in patients who have hypoglycemia episodes accompanied with significantly decreased serum insulin level.

Objective To indentify the gene mutation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene in a Chinese family with congenital achondroplasia (ACH). Methods The genomic DNA from 2 clinically diagnosed ACH patients and the other 4 members from the same family was prepared for PCR. The products of PCR were purified and then sequenced directly. Results Two patients with ACH in this family showed G-A transition mutation at nucleotide 1138 as heterozygotes. Conclusion The G-A transition mutation at nucleotide 1138 in transmembrane domain of FGFR3 gene seems to be the pathologic cause of this Chinese family with ACH.

Objective To analyse the clinical manifestations of adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) pedigree and the background of the associated genes. Methods The clinical data of an ALD pedigree were collected and PCR productsequencingwereperformedtoresearch into the change of ALD gene. Results Diagnosis of ALD was determined by the clinical manifestations and brain MRI. The homozygote mutation GGG(Gly)→AGG(Arg) at codon 266 in exon 1 was found in the ALD patient and the heterozygote mutation at the same loci was found in his mother,butwasnotfoundin other members of the family and 2 normal subjects. Conclusions The ALD patient′s mother is the first person taking this point mutation and the mutation causes severe clinical manifestations. The gene research could be regarded as the molecular base of the antenatal diagnosis.
