Objective To discuss the value of video-assisted thoracoscopy plus minithoracotomy (VATM) in the management of thoracic diseases. Methods An 1.5 cm incision was made along the middle axillary line at the 7th costal interspace on the diseased side to introduce the thoracoscope. After the exploration of intrathoracic lesion, another incision 5~8 cm in length close to the lesion was made. The thoracic cavity was opened by way of the costal interspace. Surgical performance of exploration, dissection, hemostasis and suture was performed under thoracoscope and direct vision by using routine surgical instruments and thoracoscopic instruments. A total of 43 cases of VATM were carried out. Results The operation time was 40~150 min (mean, 67 min). The length of incision was 5~8 cm (mean, 6 cm). The chest drainage lasted 2~5 d. No postoperative complications occurred. The postoperative hospital stay was 5~8 d (mean, 6 d). Follow-up found no recurrence for 3~22 months in 18 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax and pleural effusion, and found no recurrence, distant metastasis or incision implantation for 5~20 months in 3 cases of lung cancer receiving either lobectomy or wedge resection. Simple biopsy of tumor was conducted in 6 cases of lung cancer, who obtained chemotherapy or gamma knife radiotherapy postoperatively and survived 5~21 months. Conclusions VATM is practical, minimally invasive and safe. By using routine surgical instruments it has an optimistic outlook.

Objective To investigate the risk factors that may affect postoperative complications in patients with meningiomas. Methods Of all 300 patients with diagnosed pathologically intracranial meningiomas undergoing resection were retrospectively ana-lyzed in terms of clinical datas and radiological features of preoperative MRI.These patients were divided into two groups according to whether postoperative complications occurred after tumor resection.Both univariate and multivariate regression models were used to analyze the effect of patient age and several MRI characteristics on postoperative complications.Results There were several signif-icant differences between the two groups in patient age,tumor location,tumor size,shape of tumor,wrapping around nerves and blood vessels,and tumor enhancement (P <0.05).According to the results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis,tumor loca-tion,tumor size,wrapping around nerves and blood vessels,and tumor enhancement were independently identified risk factors in the prediction of postoperative complications associated with meningioma resection.Conclusion The features of preoperative MRI may be useful for clinicians in predicting postoperative complications of intracranial meningiomas,and can provide imaging evdience for effective treatment and prognostic assessment in patients with meningiomas.

A protein designated as Flammulina Velutipes (FV) protein was isolated from the cultured mycelium of FV and purified to homogeneity by CM cellulose CM 52 and gel filtration chromatography. The molecular weight of FV protein were found to be 1.75?10~4u with pI 4.3. Amino acid analysis of FV protein indicated the presence of 14 kinds of amino acids, especially rich in Glu, Asp and Thr.Potent inhibitory effect of FV protein on thrombus formation, in the blood was observed in vitro when rats were given intravenously. The length of thrombus was shortened and the dry weight of the thrombus decreased significantly at the dose of 7.5?10~(-7) mol/kg. Thrombus formation was completely inhibited at the dose of 10~()-8 mol/kg. The IC_(50) was found to be 4.4?10~(-7) mol/kg. FV protein was shown to inhibit collegen induced aggregation of rat platelets both in vitro and in vivo. Its concentration for complete inhibition in vitro was 7.5?10~(-5) mol/L. The IC_(50) was found to be 4?10~(-5)mol/ L. However, FV protein dose of 1.25?10~(-5) mol/kg was required for 60% inhibition in vivo
