Atherosclerosis obliterans of lower extremity artery mainly involve the aorto-lliac artery,femoral-popliteal artery and below-knee arteries.At present the major treatment of the disease is endovascular treatment.Due to anatomical differences between the three arteries,the principles and effect of endovascular treatment are different.The endovascular treatment of iliac- femoral lesions,because of its patency rate not lower than surgery,has become the preferred way.On account of the high incidence of femoral- popliteal lesions and the dissatisfaction for patency rate,the endovascular treatment of femoral-popliteal lesions has become a hot research.Endovascular therapy in the below-knee arteries is still in the exploration,currently a small balloon-based.

Methods The performances of adsorption and desorption for lycopene and ? carotene with three macroporous resins D4020, X 5 and AB 8 were compared, and adsorption dynamics process of resins was studied. Results The adsorptive capacities of X 5 resin for lycopene and ? carotene are the most, they are 7 44 and 11 2 mg/g, respectively. Desorption ratio of X 5 resin is the highest. Conclusion X 5 resin is an ideal adsorbent for lycopene and ? carotene extraction.

Objective To evaluate the effect of auxiliary trocar located on various positions on obese patients treated with retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy.MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed for 61 consecutive obese patients who underwent retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy for localized renal cell carcinoma at our institution from March 2004 to December 2010.An auxiliary trocar was placed into retroperitoneal space according to the position of tumor.It was placed infro-costal magin in the mid-axillary line with uppre-median pole tumor,and 4 cm medial to mid-axillary line and 1 cm cephalad to illac spine with lower-median pole,respectively.ResultsAll 61 patients were completed successfully with no conversion to open surgery.Mean operating time was ( 153.1 ± 23.5 ) min.Mean estimated blood loss was (57.6 ±29.7) ml.Mean hospital stay after operation was (5.7 ±2.6) d.The rupture of peritoneum and liquefaction of fat were occurred in 5 and 4 patients respectively.There was no major intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred.Conclusions Reasonable position of the auxiliary trocar according to the tumor's location would be safe and feasible on obese patients treated with retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy.Obese patients with localized renal cell carcinoma would better benefit from minimally invasive procedure.

Objective To explore the correlation of pulmonary heart disease (PHD) with erythrocyte immunity function and serum erythropoietin(EPO)level. Methods Forty-eight patients with PHD were selected as PHD group, while forty people were chosen as control group. The erythrocyte C3b receptor (E-C3bRR), erythrocyte immunity complex (RBC-ICR) and serum EPO content were detected by yeast rosette method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and blood gas indexes were examined by blood gas analyser.Results The E-C3bRR and serum EPO content were lower, while the RBC-ICR was higher in PHD group than in control group(both P< 0. 01). Compared with control group, PCOz and HCO3-levels were higher, but blood oxygen saturation(SaO2) level was lower in the PHD group than in control group(both P<0. 01). There were no differences in pH value and PO2between two groups(both P>0. 05). The E-C3bRR was positively related to serum EPO content (r=0. 623, P<0.01), and HCO3-was positively related to pH value and PCO2(r=0. 219 ,P<0. 05;r=0. 585,P<0. 01) ,whereas PCO2was negatively related to pH value(r=-0. 529,P<0.01),and PO2was positively related to SaO2(r=0. 682,P<0.01)in PHD group. Conclusions There is a correlation between E-C3bRR and serum EPO content in PHD patients.

Objective To evaluate the significance of sonographically detected thyroid calcification in the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma.Methods Five hundred and twenty-two patients with thyroid disease,including 119 with thyroid cancer,were included in the study.Each patient underwent preoperative,highresolution sonography to evaluate the thyroid gland for the presence of calcification.Calcifications were classified:type Ⅰ,microcalcification;type Ⅱ,coarse calcification;type Ⅲ,annular or"egg-shell"calcification;typeⅣ,calcified nodules within a cyst.Results The incidence of calcification and microcalcification was significantly higher in thyroid cancer than in benign nodules(P＜0.001).The appearance of microcalcifications was highly specific for malignancy with a sonographic specificity of 88%.The sensitivity was 60%,and the odds ratio(0R)was 11.28.The incidence of calcifications of type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ did not differ significantly between the benign and malignant groups.Calcifications of type Ⅳ were showed totally in benign groups.Patients younger than 45 years with calcified nodules constituted a highrisk group,with a OR of 11.33 versus 2.96 in patients older than 45 years with calcified nodules.In the group of solitary thyroid nodules,the incidence of cancer in the calcified nodules was higher than in the nodules without calcifications,with a OR of 20.48.Conclusions The detection of thyroid calcifications by sonography is diagnostically valuable,especially in eases involving a solitary nodule or a young person.The presence of calcifications in these cases should raise the suspicion of malignancy,especially microcalcification.
