Objective To compare the application value and the clinical curative effect of longitudinal incision and tarsal sinus minimal-ly invasive approach in treatment of patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures. Methods A retrospective statistical analysis was made by collecting and comparing the clinical data of 67 patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures from March 2008 to March 2012,and they were divided into the longitudinal incision minimally invasive approach group ( ZW group,36 patients,37 feet) and the tarsal sinus minimally invasive approach group ( FW group,31 patients,33 feet) . The Bohler angle, Gissane angle before and after operation,complications healing time,and AOFAS scores were compared. Results The healing time,Bohler angle,Gissane angle of ZW group and other indicators were better than those of the FW group,but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05). The infection of incision and compli-cations in ZW group was obviously less than those of the FW group (P<0. 05). According to the AOFAS scoring system,ZW group scored 82. 49 points while FW group scored 86. 53 points,which indicated no statistical significance (P>0. 05). Conclusion The two kinds of treatments are of no obvious difference,but the longitudinal small incision minimally invasive approach could receive better effect in terms of soft tissue damage,healing time,and postoperative complications.

Objective To explore the value of left parasternal anterior mediastinaotomy (Chamberlain procedure) in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymph node enlargement with unknown causes and anterior mediastinal space-taking lesions. Methods By using the Chamberlain procedure, biopsy was performed in 32 cases of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes with unknown causes or mediastinal space-taking lesions, which were found by CT scans. Results All of the 32 cases were pathologically diagnosed, with a diagnostic accuracy of 100%. Three patients with pericardial effusion received concurrent pericardial fenestration and then their symptoms relieved. Four patients underwent concurrent lung biopsy. The operating time was (48?15) min, the blood lose was ( 40.6?23.5) ml, and the postoperative hospital stay (3.6?1.4) days. No deaths or postoperative complications occurred. Conclusions Chamberlain procedure is a safe and valuable method in the diagnosis of mediastinal space-taking lesions with unknown causes or enlargement of the fifth and sixth groups of mediastinal lymph nodes, which routine mediastinoscope cannot reach. Some other simple therapies, such as lung biopsy or pericardial fenestration, can also be employed at the same time.

Purpose To investigate whether thoracotomy can induce lung injury in the operative side and the protection by ambroxol in this procedure. Methods 24 patients with esophageal carcinoma who were performed esophagectomy with anastomosis over the arcus aortae were randomized into 2 groups:an ambroxol group (ambroxol 1 g iv gtt qd×3,preoperatively) and a controlled group without any respiratory medication.General anesthesia by tracheo-cannula combined with continuous epidual anesthesia were used in all the patients.Bilateral broncho-alveolar lavage(BAL) was carried out after intubation preoperatively and before removal of the cannula postoperatively.Total Phospholipid(TPL),Saturated Phosphaytidylcholine(SatPC) and Total protein(TP) in the BALF were measured.The ratio of SatPC/TPL and SatPC/TP represented the activity of PS. Results In the controlled group,SatPC/TPL and SatPC/TP of the left lung(operation side) showed significant difference(P<0.05),compared with the right side(non-operation side).In the ambroxol group,no significant difference of such ratio was showed. Conclusions Thoracotomy can induce lung injury and bring out the decrease of PS and increase of protein exudation in the operative side.Large dose of ambroxol can promote in synthesize and secretion of PS and protect those changes.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of rehabilitation training on the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) around the cerebral infarcted area of rats.Methods60 SD rats were randomly divided into rehabilitation group and immobilization group 24 hours after cerebral infarction.The rehabilitation group were given water maze training,rotating bar and rolling cage exercises everyday while the immobilization group were fixed in cages. Histochemistry was used to detect the BDNF expression around the cerebral infarcted area at the 1st,3rd,7th,10th and 14th day after infarction respectively.ResultsAt 1st day after the infarction, the expression of BDNF increased obviously around the infarcted area in both group. More BDNF positive neurons were found in the rehabilitation group than that in the immobilization group at 3rd day (P<0.01). BDNF positive astrocytes showed obvious increasing in both group. BDNF positive neurons decreased with time going, and the color became lighter at the same time .At the 7th day after infarction, there were only a few positive neurons, and seldom obvious positive neurons could be seen around the infarcted area at 10th and 14th day. Great deal of BDNF positive astrocytes were found at 3rd,7th,10th and 14th day, and the rehabilitation group showed more expression than that of the immobilization group(P<0.01).ConclusionsThe rehabilitation training may increase the expression of BDNF which might take an active part in the recovery of the central nervous system injury and the rebuilding of its function.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features of intestinal polypoid lymphoma (PL) in children. Methods The clinicopathologic data of 15 cases of pediatric intestinal PL in Jiangxi Provincial Children 's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Immuohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of CD10, bcl-6, bcl-2, MUMl and ERCC1, then EB virus (EBV)-encoded RNA (EBER) status was tested by using in situ hybridization. Results Amongst 15 cases studied, 13 cases were Burkitt lymphoma (BL), 1 case was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and 1 case was between DLBCL and BL (DLBCL/BL). The positive rate of CD10, bcl-6, bcl-2, MUMl, ERCC1 and EBER were 100.0%(13/13), 92.3%(12/13), 0, 7.7 % (1/13), 15.4 % (2/13), 53.8 % (7/13), respectively in 13 BL cases. The clinical stage of 13 patients with BL: 11 cases (84.6 %) Ⅱ stage, 1 case (7.7 %) Ⅲ stage, 1 case (7.7 %) Ⅳstage. The clinical stage of DLBCL and BL/DLBCL: Ⅱstage. 14 cases of PL had survival time without tumors, 24-120 months follow-up, and 1 BL patient inⅣstage without chemotherapy died after 2 months. Conclusion BL is a major subtype of intestinal PL in children, which shows a low clinical stage and a good prognosis.
