Objective:To investigate the short-term effects of minimally invasive repair of recurred pectus excavatum.Methods:Eight patients were all treated with Nuss procedure,which were performed under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation.A transverse incision was made in each lateral chest wall and a steel bar was passed under the sternum from the right thoracic cavity under thoracoscope,then the bar was turned over to raise the sternum to the normal position.The bar was fixed to ribs by using one stabilizing bar.Results:Eight cases all got the successful operation.The operation time ranged from 30 to 70 min(average 45 min) and the post-operative hospital stay ranged from 5 to 7 days.The post-operative pain were less than 3 days and without pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema.No unilateral stabilizing bar displacement and incision infection were found.Conclusion:The Nuss procedure is safe and effective for the correction of recurred pectus excavatum with good short-term results.

Objective To study the etiology, pathogenesis, prophylaxis and management measures for psychosis after open-heart surgery.Methods Four thousand one hundred and six cases of patients with open-heart surgery were observed. The patients with psychosis complications were diagnosed and treated by psychiatrist.Results Thirty-eight cases of the patients had psychosis complications,the incidence of which was 0 93%. Most of the patients with postcardiotomy psychosis were adults. The symptoms of postcardiotomy psychosis were manic state, compression state, schizophrenia-like state and neurosis reaction. The prognosis of the patients was good.Conclusion Postcardiotomy psychosis may be viewed as having a multivariant etiology encompassing physiologic factors, environmental factors and psychological factors. Comprehensive prevention measures should be taken.

Objective:To summarize the curative effect, safety and experience of non-thoracoscopic modiifed Nuss procedure for correction of pectus excavatum (PE).
Methods:From January 2007 to December 2011, 267 cases of PE patients were selected in our hospital. Among them 85 were treated by thoracoscopic minimally invasive modified Nuss Procedure and 182 by non-thoracoscopic procedure. The operation time, blood loss during operation, length of postoperative hospital stay and effect of treatment were compared retrospectively.
Results:All the 267 patients finished the repair procedure smoothly. The non-thoracoscopic group had advantage in terms of operative time (22.5 min vs 35.1 min, P<0.05). As for the blood loss during operation, length of postoperative hospital stay and effect of treatment, there was no signiifcant difference among the 2 groups (P>0.05). hTere were no deaths.
Conclusion:Non-thoracoscopic minimally invasive modified Nuss procedure is as safe and effective as thoracoscopic Nuss procedure. With advantages of simpliifed operation procedure and shorter operation time, it is easier in practice.

Objective To compare the short-term follow-up cu ra tive effect of primary total hip replacement (THR) in treating fresh and old fem oral neck fractures. Methods Double follow-ups with an in terval of 13 months were performed in patients with femoral neck fractures under going THR in our department from January 1997 to October 1999. Results After a follow-up for 37-62 months (mean 44 months), we obtained f ull data of 47 patients [41-77 years old, (61.8?5.22) years old] with preoperative Harris score of 28.40?10.14 and postoperative score of 85.20?7. 91. The Harris score of patients with fresh femoral neck fractures (FFNF) incr eased from 21.60?8.73 preoperatively to 82.50?9.81 postoperatively〔at age of (63.50?5.53) years〕 and that of patients with old femoral neck fracture (O FNF) from 37.70?13.50 to 90.63?5.79, [at age of (58.90?7.81) years]. Of 47 patients, only one case had dislocation once within six weeks postoperative ly during function exercise and recovered after manual reduction. Another one wi th excellent function evaluation was given again internal fixation three years a fter THR because of femoral shaft fracture and obtained satisfactory recovery. N o complications were found in other patients. The mean Harris score in patients with OFNF was significantly higher than those with FFNF ( P

Objective To investigate the characteristics of looped ankle injury caused by cord strangulation, seek proper treatment to decrease amputation rate, and restore limb function as much as possible. Methods Among the nine patients with looped strangulation ankle injury, 7 had both their anterior and posterior tibia arteries involved, while the other 2 patients had only their posterior tibial artery involved. There were 4 patinets suffered from combined open tibia and fibula fractures, 2 patients from close tibia and fibula fractures; and another 2 patients from external malleolus fracture. The interval from injury to treatment varied from 6 to 27 hours(average 12 hours). All patients were treated with surgical procedures as soon as possible, blood vesseles and nerve injuries were detected and anastomosis had been done if necessary. All fractures were fixed externally. Results The limbs of all 9 patients were salvaged successfully. Most function of the injured limbs were restored. Only one external malleolus fracture malunited and was treated successfully by subsequent osteotomy. Conclusion Emergent intervention is of great importance to looped ankle injury caused by cord strangulation. Once blood vessel or nerve injuries are suspected, surgical detection or anstomosis if neccessary, should be done as soon as possible. All the associated fractures should better be fixed externally, and in order to avoid "tourniquet effect"the injured skin should be incised as early as well. With proper limb salvage procedure, good or excellent result may be achieved even in the patient with a delayed diagnosis.

Objective To study the physical stress reactions of soldiers undergone 100 kilometer march in battle gear,and explore the mechanism of biochemical changes in special military physical training.Methods Thirty four soldiers of armed-police force,averagely aged 18.6?1.6 years,169.3?4.2cm in height,weighted 65.4?4.5kg and with one-year of military physical training experience,were involved in present study.The soldiers were loaded about 25 kilogram of battle gear in a supervised 100 kilometer march in three days.The changes on biochemical index after the march were analyzed.Results After 100 kilometer march in battle gear,significant decline were found in the following biochemistry indexes in the soldiers involved: HB(P

Objective To investigate the effect of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) implantation on neovascularization in rat model of hind limb ischemia, and explore its mechanism. Methods Rat BM-MNCs were isolated from tibia and femur using density gradient centrifugation. A rat model of ischemic hind limb was made by the ligation of the right femoral artery and its branches in imbred Wistar rats. BM-MNCs were injected into 7 points of the ischemic muscles (20?l/point). The levels of VEGF, bFGF and IL-1? in the ischemic musles at the third, 7th and 14th days after ligation were measured by ELISA. Micro-vessel density (MVD) in the ischemic mulsles was evaluated at the second and 4th weeks after ligation. Results The levels of bFGF and IL-1? in the implantation group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The MVD of ischemic mulsles in the implantation group was also significantly higher than that in the control group at the second and 4th weeks after treatment. Conclusion The implantation of autologous BM-MNCs could induce neovascularization in a rat ischemic hind limb, and bFGF and IL-1? secreted by BM-MNCs might play a role in the neovascularization.

A method based on HPLC-ICP-MS was established to separate the reaction products of ( ethylenediamine) palladium(Ⅱ) chloride([Pd ( en ) Cl2])and 5’-deoxyguanylic acid ( 5’-dGMP). Two reaction products were detected at pH 8. 0 with 25 mmol/L phosphate buffer solution as chromatography eluent. One was the main product with HPLC retention time of 2. 8 min, the other product’s retention time was 3.2 min. According to ESI-MS(MS/MS) study, m/z=510, 511, 512, 514, 516[M+1]+ parent ions ( abundances same to palladium isotopes) were detected. Further analysis showed that the main product was[Pd( en) ( N1-5’-dGMP) ]. However the other product was hardly to be detected by ESI-MS. By using HPLC-DAD and HPLC-ICP-MS, we found that the two reaction products had the same UV absorption spectra and palladium percentage content. Combined with other groups’research, the other reaction product was deduced as dimmer, trimer or tetramer form of[Pd( en) ( N1-5’-dGMP) ]. Further study revealed that[Pd( en) ( N1-5’-dGMP) ] was easily formed in acid solution while its polymer form was generated in alkaline solution. At pH 6. 0, [Pd(en)(N1-5’-dGMP)] was formed within 12 hours with good stability. Research also revealed that the total amount of two reaction products declined as reaction pH climbed.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics and the relationship between rational therapy and prognosis in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).MethodsClinical data of 23 patients pathologically confirmed as PCNSL and treated in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2007 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.SPSS 13.0 statistical analysis software was used to analyze the correlation between therapy,clinical characteristics and prognosis.Among the 23 patient,10 were male and 13 were female,with a median age of 50 (2-75) years old.Eighteen patients were undertaken lumbar puncture,and tumor cells in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) was found in 4 patients.Tumorectomy was performed in 8 patient,while 15 patients biopsy.Among them,4 accepted whole brain irradiation,6 accepted associated chemotherapy based on a high-dose of methotrexate (MTX)and 13 accepted radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy.Results Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that in this serial patients,the median survival time was 45.0 months and the 3-year survival rate was 56.5％.Log-Rank test revealed that the whole survival time and the non-progression survival time of radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy (43.8 and 30.0 months,respectively) and high-dose MTX chemotherapy ( 39.7 and 29.7 months,respectively )were much longer than those of radiotherapy alone (25.7 and 19.8 months,respectively,all P ＜ 0.05 ).Log-Rank test showed no significant difference between high-dose MTX chemotherapy alone and radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy (P ＞0.05 ),but the whole survival time was much shorter in high-dose MTX chemotherapy ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionsThe detection of tumor cells in CSF can confirm the diagnosis,but pathological biopsy is the gold standard.The efficacy of associated chemotherapy based on a high-dose of MTX combined with radiotherapy is much better than radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone.
