Objective To study the clinical features of cryptococcosis. Method The clinical manifestations of 101 patients with cryptococcosis were comprehensively analyzed using clinical statistical method. Results Among the 101 patients, 68 were male and 33 were female, 94.1% cases were chronic or sub chronic in onset. Headache and fever were the most common symptoms, over 85.0% patients got headache and(or) fever, vomiting (71.3%) was the second common, and the confusion, convulsion, seizure, visual and hearing damage are also relatively common. Nearly 70.0% patients had intracranial hypertention. Among the 58 patients who received brain CT scaning, 40 showed abnormal changes. All of 8 patients who received brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) showed abnormal changes. And 97 cases were positive in cerebrospinal fluid ink stain, 2 cases were negative in ink stain but positive in cerebrospinal fluid culture, and 2 were diagnosed after brain biopsy or brain surgery. Most cases had been falsely diagnosed as many other diseases. Conclusions Most patients with cryptococcosis should be chronic or sub chronic in onset, and their clinical features, cerebrospinal fluid routine and biochemical test, or CT and MRI are lack of specificity. The finding of Cryptococcus in cerebrospinal fluid culture and brain biopsy should be the golden standard of diagnosis.

Objective To study the condition and method of hydrodynamics-based transgene(HDT) in rat fatty liver. Methods Inject different dosages and concentrations of green fluorescent protein plasmid pEGFP-C1 at different speeds, then collect 4 rats' liver leaves at different time points after injection and prepare their frozen section, finally observe and quantify the GFP expression with fluo rescence microscope at 488 nm excitation wavelength. Results Plasmid pEGFP-C1 concentration 33mg/L, injection speed 2ml/s, injection volume 8.5%of rat body weight, injected plasmid. After 6 hours of injection, GFP-positive cells rate of pedicel leaf is about 18%, left leaf about 14%, middle leaf about 12.5%;R3ight leaf about 10% and tail leaf about 8%. GFP begin to gradually reduce since 24 hours, until 72 hours almost no GFP-positive cells were checked in all liver leaves. Conclusion Hydrodynamics-based transgene can be applied to rat fatty liver, the appropriate conditions of this method are 33mg/L plasmid concentration, 8.5% rat avoirdupois, 2ml/s injection speed, and the suitable time to observe the proportion of GFP-positive cells is 6-24 hours after gene injection.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of retrograde access for the interventional treatment of lower extremity arterial occlusive diseases when the occluded segment of lower extremity artery could not be reached through antegrade access.Methods Twenty-seven cases (male 17,female 10; age range 32-89 years ) were retrospectively investigated, including 18 with lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans,7 with diabetic foot and 2 with thromboangiitis obliterans.According to the Fontaine staging,6 cases were classified as Fontaine Ⅱ,11were classified as Fontaine Ⅲ and 10 were classified as Fontaine Ⅳ.All cases underwent endovascular operation through antegrade access first with an attempt to cross the occlusive segment,but in vain.So retrograde access was tried via puncture of pedis dorsalis or posterior tibial artery or exposure of lateral branches of posterior tibial artery,peroneal artery or dorsal artery by open surgery,which followed by Percutaneous transluminal angiography and (or) stenting.Results The operation through retrograde access was successful in all cases with obvious improvement of ischemic symptoms.Hematoma at the puncture site occurred in 3 patients,and paresthesia of toes occurred in 1after dorsalis pedis arteriotomy.No severe perioperative complication occurred.The average ankle brachial index increased from 0.37 ± 0.11preoperatively to 0.85 ± 0.12 postoperatively.Conclusions Retrograde access could be used as an alternative strategy in lower extremity arterial occlusive diseases when the occluded segment could not reach through antegrade access.

Objective To report experience of minimally invasive surgery of urinary calculi caused by melamine in infants. Methods Retrospectively reviewed the treatments and outcomes of 36 cases with urinary calculi caused by melamine from November 2007 to October 2008. 13 girls and 23 boys aged 8 to 36 months after daily consumption for six month or more of milk products tainted with melamine. These infants underwent MPCNL, ureteroscopic lithotripsy and placement of ureteral stent, respectively. Results The operations were performed successfully in all patients. Five cases underwent MPCNL. Ureteroscopic lithotripsy were performed in fourteen cases. Seventeen cases were placed of ureteral stents. No major complications like hemorrhea, perforation and organic injury were noted. The postoperative hospital stays were 3 to 10 days. All cases were followed up for 1 to 12 months. Calculus had no recurrence. Hydronephrosis and hydroureterosis disappeared or lightened. Growth and development were normal. Conclusions Various kinds of minimally invasive surgical procedures is safe and effective treatments for urinary calculi caused by melamine in infants, applicable in calculi with urinary obstruction especially.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral sparganosis. Methods To summary four cases of cerebral sparganosis, focusing on the clinical course and imaging findings, with the goal of better diagnostic skills. Results All 4 cases had some kind of misdiagnosis and improvement after surgery or parasiticidal pharmacotherapy. Cerebral MRI and CT scans revealed relatively extensive white matter degeneration and focal enhancements. Subsequent scans showed changes in shape and location of the enhanced foci, indicating the migration of sparganum. Pathologic findings of 3 patients who had undergone surgery showed granuloma and sparganum. Conclusions Cerebral sparganosis has relatively special manifestions on imaging, which are of diagnostic value. The spaganum should be as completely removed as possible during surgery.

BACKGROUND:Flexible intramedulary nailing and external fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures are two common methods in the clinic. It remains controversial which fixation methods are better. OBJECTIVE:To systematicaly evaluate the therapeutic effects of flexible intramedulary nailing and external fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures. METHODS: A computer-based search was performed on PubMed, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane library for literatures on clinical controled trials of flexible intramedulary nailing and external fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures published before November 25, 2014. Literature language was not limited. The age of subjects was from 3 to 15 years. Modified Jadad was utilized to assess methodological quality of the included studies. Meta-analysis was carried out using Stata 12.0 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Six papers involving 237 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with external fixation, a low incidence of overal complications [relative risk (RR)=0.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.19-0.46;P < 0.001] and pin-hole infection (RR=0.286, 95%CI: 0.13-0.61;P= 0.001), but a high risk of needle tail irritation (RR=1.86, 95%CI: 1.35-2.56;P < 0.001) were found folowing flexible intramedulary nailing. No significant differences in other complications were found between the two groups. These results confirm that compared with external fixation, elastic intramedulary nail has fewer complications and faster fracture healing. Elastic intramedulary nail is recommended for single pediatric femoral shaft fractures. However, external fixation is a better option for high energy injury of lower limbs, multiple trauma or severely soft tissue injury.
