Objective To analyze factors influencing the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and discuss the prevention and treatment of DVT in hip fracture patients. Methods The present study enrolled 531 patients who received surgery between June, 2008 to June, 2010 for hip fractures. They were 242 men with a mean age of 56. 2 years and 289 women with a mean age of 65.2 years. There were 336 femoral neck fractures, 183 femoral intertrochanteric fractures, and 12 femoral subtrochanteric fractures. The associations between DVT incidence and fracture type, plasma D-Dimer, sex, age and preoperative duration of immobilization were statistically analyzed. Inferior yens cava filters were used for patients who suffered DVT while surgery was performed. Results The total incidence of DVT was 10. 4% in this series. DVT occurred in 21 cases of femoral neck fracture, 34 cases of femoral intertrochanteric fracture and 0 case of femoral subtrochanteric fracture. All DVT events happened before surgery. DVT incidence had no significant associations with age or sex (P =0. 347 and 0. 376, respectively), but did with plasma D-Dimer, fracture type and preoperative duration of immobilization (P = 0. 002, 0. 017 and 0. 037, respectively). All the 55 DVT patients underwent a successful surgery. Conclusions The DVT incidence in hip fracture patients may have no significant associations with age or sex, but may do with plasma D-Dimer, fracture type and preoperative duration of immobilization. Inferior vena cava filters can ensure a successful internal fixation of the fracture and an uneventful postoperative rehabilitation.

Objective To search for the most appropriate subzero nonfreezing temperature,and explore the effect of subzero nonfreezing preservation of rat kidney by comparing with the kidney preservation with conventional temperature (4 ℃,0 ℃) and freezing temperature (-4 ℃).Method The thermocouple probeand the temperature data logging device were used to detect the temperature decreasing curves in different parts of the rat kidney and determine the freezing point of the kidney.The perfused kidneys in rats were removed and put into the sterile tubes containing 2.5 mL hypertonic citrate adenine.Following 6 group were set up:-0.8 ℃ group (subzero nonfreezing),-0.5 ℃group (subzero nonfreezing),0 ℃ group (zero nonfreezing),-4 ℃ group (control group),-1 ℃group(subzero freezing)、-4 ℃ group (subzero freezing).After the cryopreservation for 24 and 48 h,the preservative fluid was harvested for measurement of the contents of LDH and AST,and the paraffin sections from the upper pole of the kidney were made for observation of the pathological changes and apoptosis.Result The freezing temperature of kidney was-1℃ and the most appropriate subzero nonfreezing temperature for preserving the rat kidney was-0.8 ℃.Subzero nonfreezing significantly inhibited the basal metabolic rate of the histiocytes,reduced the contents of LDH and AST released due to the membrane damage,and decreased the apoptosis rate [48 h:-0.8 ℃ (40.1 ± 7.0) ％ vs.4 ℃ (47.1 ± 7.6) ％].Under the light microscope after preservation for 48 h,the pathological changes in-0.8 ℃ group were less than in 4 ℃ group.Conclusion Compared with the organ preservation in conventional temperature (0 ℃-4 ℃),the subzero nonfreezing (-0.8 ℃) can further inhibit the basal metabolic rate of histocytes obviously,reduce its energy consumption,and lower the apoptosis caused by low temperature damage.

[Objective]To evaluate the terminal hair growth of different body positions among in pregnant women ,analyze the contribution of each area to the diagnosis to hirsutism ,to improve the mFG scoring system.[Method]Pregnant women aged 20~41 years,with normal range of total testosterone levels and non-hirsute were recruited at their prenatal care in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital,Sun Yat-sen University. They were followed up before pregnancy,at the 5th and the 9th week,the 10th and the 14th week, the 15th and the 20th week,the 21th and the 24th week of gestation. Then 72 more cases of pregnant women were recruited and followed up at 15~24th week. At each time of followed up,their total testosterone(TT)levels was examined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(LC/MS-MS)and terminal hair growth were assessed by mFG score. Significant difference procedure least(LSD) analysis of variance was used to compare the levels of testosterone and mFG score in different gestational weeks. Receiver operating characteristics(ROC)analysis and logistics analysis were conducted to evaluate the contributory strength of hair growth in each body position for the diagnosis of hirsutism. The scores in the body area which made a significant contribution to the total were summed up and termed the simplified mFG score(sFG score). Following,the sFG scores were subjected to ROC analysis to determine the thresh-old that would maximize both the sensitivity and specificity of the measure to accurately distinguish hirsute from non-hirsute patients.[Results]Among the forty three pregnant women who were followed-up from before pregnancy to 24th week,the mean±SD for TT was (1.09 ± 0.59)nmol/L before pregnancy,and(1.13 ± 0.40),(1.28 ± 0.38),(1.83 ± 0.63),(1.82 ± 0.52)nmol/L for 5~ 9th,10~14th,15~20th week,and the mFG score was 1.65 ± 0.60,2.30 ± 0.45,3.60 ± 0.68,4.20 ± 0.41 and 4.40 ± 0.77,respectively. The order of the facial and body sites presented with new terminal hair growth was upper abdomen,lower abdomen,lower back,up-per lip,thighs,upper back,chest,upper arm,and chin,in sequence. After analyzing 115 cases(including the 72 cases recruited later),ROC analysis showed that the diagnostic value of different sites for hirsutism(mFG≥5):upper lip>lower back>thighs>lower abdomen>upper arm>upper back>chest/upper abdomen. Four sites among them ,namely upper lip ,lower back ,thighs and lower abdomen had the best diagnostic value,and the AUC for ROC were 0.779,0.728,0.675,and 0.626,respectively. Both ROC and logistic analysis indicated that he most significant body areas in defining hirsutism(defined as an mFG score≥5)were the upper lip, lower back,thighs,and lower abdomen. Using a cut-off value of 3,the combination of the four areas has the best sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing hirsute from non-hirsute women. [Conclusion]The study suggested that the mFG score increased as pregnancy progressed before the 24 weeks of gestation. The subset of upper lip,lower back,thighs and lower abdomen may be a reli-able simplification of mFG system for the evaluation of excess hair growth. The cut-off value was of≥3.

Objective To evaluate the performance of nested PCR in the detection of different fungi in paraffin wax embedded tissues. Methods Forty-four tissue samples were resected from rats infected with Fonsecaea monophora, patients with chromoblastomycosis, sporotrichosis or penicilliposis marneffei followed by preparation of paraffin wax embedded tissue sections for pathological examination and DNA extraction. Nested PCR was performed by using specific primers targeting the ribosomal DNA of Fonsecaea, Sporothrix and Penicillium marneffei, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of nested PCR were analyzed and compared with those of pathological examination. Results The nested PCR showed positive results in 8 of 20 samples from rats with chromoblastomycosis, 7 of 10 samples from patients with sporotrichosis and all of the 10 samples from patients with penicilliposis marneffei, but not in the control samples. In the detection of Fonsecaea,Sporothrix schenki and Penicillium marneffei, the sensitivity was 40% ,70% and 100%, respectively, and the specificity was consistently 100%, for the nested PCR. Pathological examination revealed fungal elements in 95%, 70% and 80% of the corresponding samples, respectively. Conclusion Detection of fungal DNA in paraffin wax embedded tissue by nested PCR can be applied to the diagnosis of deep mycosis, especially to the diagnosis of penicilliposis marneffei.

Objective:To explore the surgical procedure and effect of reconstruction of 2 adjacent soft tissue defects of digits with free twin-lobed flap of carpal cutaneous branch of ulnar artery.Methods:From January 2015 to February 2022, 6 patients (10 digits) with 2 adjacent soft tissue defects of digits were treated by free twin-lobed flap of the carpal cutaneous branch of ulnar artery in the Department of Hand and Wrist Surgery of Sichuan Orthopaedic Hospital. All patients were males, aged 35-53 years old, with an average age of 39.5 years old. Three patients were with soft tissue defects in palmar of index and middle fingers, 1 in palmar of middle and ring fingers, 1 in palmar and dorsal of thumb and 1 in palmar and radial of index finger. Nerves in 5 injured digits of 3 patients and the defected digital flexor tendons in 2 digits of 2 patients were reconstructed. The defects were 2.5 cm× 1.5 cm - 4.0 cm× 2.0 cm in size. The sizes of the flaps were 7.5 cm×2.0 cm-10.0 cm×3.0 cm. The donor sites were directly sutured. All of the defects were treated in emergency surgery. The survival rate of flaps was observed after surgery. All patients were included in postoperative follow-up via telephone or WeChat reviews after discharge to observe the flaps and function recovery of digits.Results:All flaps survived without complication. Venous occlusion occurred in 1 digit, which was relieved after suture removal and heparin dressing for 3 days. Follow-ups lasted 12-16 (mean 12.8) months. The texture and appearance of the flaps were satisfactory. Sensory recovery was at S 3-S 3+ with static two-point discriminations (TPD) at 7-12 mm in the digits with sensory reconstruction. In the digits without nerve repair, the flaps gradually regained protective sensation and the function of digits satisfactorily recovered at 6 months after surgery. According to the Evaluation Standard of Upper Limb Function of Hand Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, 5 patients were in excellent and 1 in good. Conclusion:Using a free twin-lobed flap with carpal cutaneous branch of ulnar artery to reconstruct 2 adjacent defects of digits can benefit from the thickness of flap being similar to the skin of hand and a hidden donor site together with satisfactory appearance, texture and function of the flap. It is an effective method in reconstruction of 2 adjacent soft tissue defects of digits.

Objective To compare the clinical value of early enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition therapy in postoperative patients of cholangiocarcinoma.Methods 56 cases of cholangiocarcinoma patients were randomly divided into early enteral nutrition group (EPN group) and parenteral nutrition group (PN group).All patients received nutritional support on the basis of metabolic support.Leukocyte count and neutrophil percentage decrease rate,total bilirubin decrease rate and hepatase (valley-C conversion) were counted at 3 and 7 days after operation.The decrease rate of aminase and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase,recovery time of intestinal function (anal exhaust and defecation),incidence rate of surgical site infection (abdominal cavity and wound),hospitalization time after operation,incidence rate of bile leakage and hospitalization cost were compared between the two groups.Results The recovery time of intestinal function [(51.2 ±4.4) h],the decrease rate of leukocyte count (0.438 7 ±0.191 5) and neutrophil ratio (0.179 5 ± 0.046 1),the decrease rate of bilirubin (0.502 5 ± 0.153 5),alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (0.688 1 ±0.113 3),aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (0.617 0 ± 0.178 8) and hospitalization expenses [(87 852.37 ±9 127.04)yuan] in EPN group were better than those in PN group [(72.0 ± 12.9)h,0.090 5 ±0.120 3,0.083 4 ±0.036 8,0.201 5 ±0.077 8,0.251 6 ±0.419 0,0.230 9 ± 0.437,(109 036.69 ± 7 949.71) yuan,P ＜ 0.05].However,the incidence of abdominal distension (42.31％) was higher than that of PN group (13.33％,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of bile leakage (7.69％) was not significantly different from that of PN group (13.33％,P ＞0.05).Conclusions Early enteral nutrition has obvious advantages in postoperative recovery of patients with cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective:To explore indications for replantation of proximal proper digital artery and establishing extrinsic arterial perfusion pressure in the treatment of special type of severed digits with avulsion over 12.0 hours of warm ischemia, and to analyse the factors that affected the survival rate of the replanted digits.Methods:From September 2014 to January 2022, 8 patients with severed digits and prolonged warm ischemia were treated by transposition of adjacent digital artery together with the technique of extrinsic arterial perfusion pressure in the Department of Wrist and Hand Surgery, the Orthopaedic Hospital in Sichuan Province. During the operation, the defected proximal proper digital artery was reconstructed and repaired with vein graft, one side of the digital artery was repaired with an inverted "Y" vein graft, and one side of "Y" vein was bridged and anastomosed to repair the original digital artery. On the other side, the adjacent proximal proper digital arteries were transpositioned and anastomosed to gain an extrinsic arterial perfusion pressure, which increased the distal haemodynamic and reconstituted the blood supply. Of the 8 patients (9 severed digits) : 1 had severed index and middle fingers, 2 had severed index fingers, 4 had severed thumbs and 1 had severed little finger. All the patients were males, aged 16-63 years old, at 37.6 years old in average. Warm ischemia time of the severed digits were 12.3-20.6 hours, with 17.4 hours in average. The survival rate of replanted digits was observed after surgery. Postoperative follow-ups were conducted through telephone or WeChat reviews.Results:Follow-up time was 6-26 months, at 8.3 months in average. Retrospective analysis was performed. Vascular compromises occurred in 3 patients 4 digits (arterial insufficiency in 1 digit, venous congestion in 3 digits), skin necrosis occurred in 1 patient (1 digit) and digit necrosis in 1 patient (1 digit). Overall, 8 of the 9 replanted digits survived. According to the Replantation Function Evaluation Standard of Hand Surgery Association of Chinese Medical Association, the digit function after replantation was evaluated at excellent in 6 digits, good in 1 digit and poor in 1 digit.Conclusion:For a severed digit with an ischemia time over 12.0 hours, the survival rate can be improved by transposition of an adjacent digital artery to provided extrinsic arterial perfusion pressure.
