ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of the comprehensive surgical management of primary venous reflux disease in lower extremity. MethodsComprehensive surgical management was performed on 108 patients( 126 limbs) with primary venous reflux disease between February, 1996 and Sept, 2000. All limbs were performed with superficial venous operation. External valvuloplasty of femoral vein valve was given to 83 cases(97 limbs) simultaneously, and to 22 cases (26 limbs) with concomitant subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery(SEPS). 3 cases (3 limbs) were operated with concomitant SEPS only. ResultsVenous claudication,swelling, and aching disappeared in 80.2% of limbs( 101/126) and apparent improvement in 19.8 % of limbs(25/126). All varicose veins were gone. Ulcer healing pre sented in 80 % of the limbs(8/10) with ulcers and ulcer decreasing in 20% of the limbs(2/10) in 3～6 months after superficial and deep venous operations. Ulcer healing presented in 23 cases(26 limbs) with ulcers and ulcer decreasing in remaining 2 limbs in 14 to 32 days after additional SEPS besides superficial and or deep venous operations. Deep venous valve sufficiency was demonstrated in 89.7% (113/126) of the limbs by Color Duplex. ConclusionIn the patients with severe primary venous reflux disease,comprehensive surgical management with concomitant superficial, deep and perforating veins might greatly improve the clinical effect.

BACKGROUND:During the restoration of residual molar crown, a little part of tooth is still remained commonly. After the restoration, with various forces, stress distribution affects directly the results after restoration. Finite element method is gradually applied in stress analysis on artificial tooth.OBJECTIVE: To establish the three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model of post-inlay restoration of the first residual mandibular molar crown so as to provide experimental data for improving model establishment of complicated teeth and analysis on the property of stress distribution of restoring methods.DESIGN: Repeated observation and measurement were given.SETTING: Department of Stomatology and Department of Radiology of First Hospital affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University;Department of Solid Mechanics,College of Traffics and Communications, South China University of Technology; Department of Restoration of Guanghua College of Stomatology.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Department of Solid Mechanics, College of Traffics and Communications of South China University of Technology from November 2003 to December 2004. Six first mandibular molars on the right side with normal morphology in vitro were collected, and Toshiba Xpress/SX spiral CT machine, image photo synthesis software and finite element analysis software ANSYS were applied in the experiment.METHODS: 1 of the 6 first mandibular molars on the right side with normal morphology in vitro was selected for pulpectomy, which was the best in density and near to clinical requirement in morphology. With pulpectomy, the prosthesis of braking-lock post-inlay restoration was prepared. Spiral CT-cross scanning was performed in premolar crown before the restoration, the residual crown with post-inlay in main root canal after restoration and the residual crown with braking-lock second post-inlay restoration. With image photosynthesis software, 3-D digital model of residual tooth and metal part was established and the entire tooth model was prepared after adhesion of two parts. In order to provide better boundary conditions of simulated natural tooth in practice, alveolar bone was considered. Under Mesh order in ANSYS software, automatic mesh generation was performed in the model directly.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Establishment of 3-D finite element models of residual tooth before restoration, post inlay, and alveolar bone and tooth after restoration and the results of mesh generation.RESULTS: By establishing 3-D finite element models of residual tooth before restoration, post inlay, alveolar bone and tooth after restoration and automatic mesh generation, there were altogether 117720 units and 20988nodes. Good geometric similarity presents between the construction model of 3-D finite element model and solid tissue.CONCLUSION: Combination of 3-D finite-element model with spiral Ctcross technology establishes complex dental models, simulates practical conditions authentically and is good in operation.
