The Journal of Practical Medicine 2015;(19):3176-3178
Objective To study the effect of different draining way in the surgical treatment of chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH). Methods 126 patients with CSDH diagnosed by CT scanning or MRI were enrolled. The burr-hole was made at the site of the maximal hematoma thickness. A drainage tube was placed towards either the occipital (group A) or frontal ( group B) region as far as possible respectively, and for the latter, a lateral aperture was made about 2 cm far from the burr-hole on the side of the tube. The surgical complication (such as pneumocephalus, brain injury and recurrent hematoma et al.) and therapeutic efficacy of the two treatments were compared and analyzed to evaluate an optimal surgical technique. Results After treatment, complication rate in group A is 30%, the occurrence of complications in group B rate is 2% (P <0.05); operation time and hospitalization time in group B was significantly shorter than that in group A (P <0.05). Conclusion In the surgical treatment of CSDH, improved drainage pathway is safe and effective, which could improve the treatment efficacy and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To clarify the clinical significance of p21 WAF1 and the relationship between it and p53. Methods Samples of human cholangiocarcinoma (HC) tissue and paired normal bile duct tissue adjacent to the tumor from 30 patients with HC were employed in this study. In situ hybridization (ISH) was used to detect the p53 and p21 mRNA expression. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was applied to analyze p53 gene mutation and P21 protein expression. Results p21 WAF1 And p53 gene protein expression was detected in 36.7% (11/30) and 53.3% (16/30) of the carcinoma specimens, respectively, and none of the paired tissue by IHC. p53 Positivity was related to local lymph node metastasis. Comparing with non-lymph node metastatic group, p53 positivity in metastatic group was significantly higher. p53 Positivity of cholangiocarcinoma in clinical stage III was significantly higher than that in clinical stages I and II. The survival time was significantly shorter in patients with P53 protein expression than in those without. It was found that p53 expression was not associated with p21 WAF1 expression. Conclusions P53 Positivity may be correlated with tumor development but not tumor occurrence. The fact that p53 expression was not associated with p21 WAF1 expression indicates that p53-independent activation of p21 WAF1 may exist.
