ObjectiveTo evaluate the intraoperative neuromonitoring of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) during Micooli's endoscopic thyroidectomy in order to avoid nerve injury.MethodsIn this study,36 patients with 56 nerves at risk were enrolled from February 2011 to September 2011.A positive signal is determined by observing contractions of the cricothyroid muscle to locate the EBSLN.The relationship between EBSLN and the upper pole of the thyroid or the inferior constrictor muscle was studied.The VHI-10 table was used for evaluation pre- and postoperatively. ResultsAll 56 nerves were located successfully,26 nerves(46.4％ ) crossed the superior thyroid artery more than 1 cm apart from the upper pole of the thyroid gland,while the other 30 nerves(53.6％ ) did less than 1 cm.In cases where the diameter was longer than 5 cm,the nerves crossed the artery at less than 1.0 cm from the upper pole in 73％ cases(P =0.006).There was no significant difference between VHI-10 results before and after surgery (P ＞ 0.05). ConclusionsIntraoperative neuromonitoring is useful and helpful in avoiding nerve injury by locating EBSLN.

Object The mineralogical and chemical compositions of the natural pharmaceutical montmorillonite clay were analysed with the aim of approaching the material base of its action Methods The means of X ray diffraction (SRD) and X ray fluorescence (SRF) were used for the quantitative analysis of the mineralogical and chemical compositions of the montmorillonite clay samples Results The essential mineralogical and chemical compositions of the six samples were obtained Conclusion Though there is some difference in mineralogical composition of the montmorillonite clay samples from different deposits, the average percentage of montmorillonite content in samples is 86%, and the chemical compositions of six samples are nearly similar

ObjectiveTo investigate the affection of Shujinxi external granule on the knee joints function after meniscus suture.Methods60 patients who undertook meniscus suture were randomly recruited into two groups,30 cases in each group.The control group accepted conventional rehabilitation training,while the treatment group received Shujinxi external granule on the basis of the conventional rehabilitation training.Both groups were treated for two weeks for a therapeutic course,and statistics analysis was made after 3～4therapeutic courses.ResultsThe average postoperative knee activity after 8 weeks and 12 weeks was [ (114.1 ±18.6)° and [(129.6±10.3)° ],in thetreatment group,comparing to [(89.7±t2.5 )° and (112.7±16.6)° ]in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).the IKDC score and the Lysholm score of treatment group after 12 weeks was [(84.76±5.21) and (92.54±3.22)],while the control group was [(79.63±4.67) and (85.61±4.92)],the difference was significant (P＜0.05).ConclusionShujinxi external granule can promote the recovery of knee joints function after the operation of meniscus suture.

Objective: To establish an animal model for research of maxillary protraction. Methods: 16 pubertal rabbits were assigned randomly to 2 groups. Titanium bone markers were fixed on each side of mucogingival junction, 1 cm above incisor teeth. The experimental group underwent maxillary protraction by self-made distraction devices. A down and forward elastic force (about 3.43 N) was exerted for 30 days. Results: In 30 d, the distance of premaxilla movement in the experimental group was 1.89 mm averagely, while that in the control group was only 0.11 mm. Cephalometric analysis indicated that the maxilla of rabbits was moved forward obviously by appliance in the experimental group, and maxilla was not rotated. There was no obvious difference between the control and the experimental groups. Conclusion: Animal model used in this experiment for maxillary protraction is reliable. The appliance can move the rabbits maxilla forward obviously during the maxillary protraction.
