Objective To study clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) . Methods Clinical data and auxiliary examinations of eight patients with ABPA were analyzed, as well as relevant literatures were reviewed. Results All patients had symptom of cough, expectoration, out of breath and wheezing tale, seven of them with history of asthma, and all of them had increased peripheral blood eosinophil (EOS) count, serum levels of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and lgE specific for Aspergillus fumigatus and showed positive prick test specific for Aspergillas fumigatus. Six of them showed infiltration shadows and six of them showed bronchiectasis in their chest CT images. Lung function test indicated obstructive ventilation dysfunction or mixed ventilation dysfunction with reversible airflow obstruction after administration of bronchodilator. Conclusions Diagnosis for ABPA should be made by integration of clinical features, increased blood eosinophil count and serum level of IgE, and result of prick test specific for Aspergillus fumigatus. Corticosteroid is a mainstay therapy for ABPA, ancillary with anti-fungi therapy. Patients with ABPA should be followed-up to prevent its recurrence.

Objective To explore the curative effect of the operation of double wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal for correction of severe hallux valgus.Methods The data of 62 patients (87 feet) with severe hallux valgus caused by enlarged distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) who were followed up after receiving the treatment of double wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal from January 2008 to December 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.There are 9 males (14 feet),and 53 females (73 feet),with an average age of 56 years (range,28-70 years).Preoperative radiographs showed hallux valgus angle (HVA) was 48.6° in average,intermetatarsal angle (IMA) was 19.8° in average,and DMAA was 22.1° in avcragc.Thc opcration plan was made based on the preoperative deformity,and the osteotomy site,the angle,the capacity of osteotomy was all based on preoperative measurement.Compare the changes of HVA,IMA,DMAA before and after operation.The changes were also compared before and after the internal fixation extraction.The curative effect was observation based on American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) propodium score standard.Results Sixty-two patients (87 feet) were followed up for 10 to 57 months,with an average of 21 months.HVA (14.6°±1.2°),IMA (7.9°±0.7°),DMAA (7.7°±0.9°) were all satisfied 6 months after the operation.Stiff occurred in 2 patients after the operation.Cutaneous nerve injury occurred in 2 patients,and metastatic metatarsalgia occurred in 1 patient.No sever recurrence of deformity,bone nonunion and bone necrosis was found in all the patients.AOFAS score reached 91.8±1.8 one year after the operation,which was 28.4±9.1 preoperatively.Among them,49 feet were rated as excellent,31 as good,and 7 as fair.The excellent and good rate was 92％ (80/87).Conclusion The first metatarsal double osteotomy can effectively correct the severe hallux valgus deformity with enlarged DMAA with few complications.It achieves good effect.Patients can bear part of the loading in the early stage of recovery after operation.

BACKGROUND: Up to now, no universally successful therapy to treat substantial articular cartilage defects has been available. Numerous therapeutic approaches can only improve clinical symptoms of joint lesions, but not stimulate the regenerative and reactive capacity of the biological tissue in the defect, and not restore an articular surface capable of functional load bearing.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the curative effects of homograft of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded onto cancellous demineralized bone matrix (DBM) on articular cartilage defects.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized controlled study which conducted in Orthopaedics Institute, the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from January to March 2005 and Central Laboratory of Guilin Medical Collage from May to August 2008.MATERIALS: Bone metaphysis and vertebral cancellous bone were derived from rabbits to prepare DBM materials. MSCs were seed on DBM stent and cultured in vitro. All 36 rabbits were randomly divided into combination group (DBM/MSCs), DBM alone group, and blank control group, with 12 rabbits per group.METHODS: Full-thickness cartilage defect model of knee joint was frilled using a cylinder of 4 mm diameter and 3 mm thickness on intercondylar fossa. The cartilage defects in the intercondylar fossa were filled with MSCs/DBM in combination group A, with only DBM in the DBM group, and nothing was treated in the blank control group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Four rabbits were killed at three time points, which were 4, 8 and 12 weeks after the operation in each group, and the reparative tissue samples were evaluated grossly, histologically, immunohistochemically and graded according to gross and histological scale.RESULTS: Tirty-six rabbits were included in the final analysis. The defects of MSCs/DBM transplantation were repaired by byline-like tissue, and the other defects were repaired by fibrous tissue. Gross and histological grading scale was made on 12 weeks postoperatively. Gross and histological scores in the MSCs/DBM group were significantly lower than DBM group and control group (P<0.05); while, the scores in the DBM group was significantly lower than control group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The full-thickness cartilage defects of rabbits were repaired with homograft of mesenchymal stem cells seeded onto cancellous demineralized bone matrix, which is a promising way for the treatment of cartilage defects.

A sectional survey with histochemical technique was carried out on Culex tritae-niorhynchus larvae infected with Coelomomyces indica in comparison to the noninfected larvae. Studies were pursued by using micrograph and imaging analysis. The results showed that the glycogen, protein and nucleic acid (RNA and DNA)reaction in the infected group were less than those of the control group. The gray level assessment in tissue imaging showed marked difference between the two groups. It is suggested that C. indica has significant effect on the above biochemical elements of the mosquito larvae, which might be considered an important mechanism in the pathogenicity of the fungus.

Objective To evaluate the tests in differential diagnosis of subtypes in patients with primary aldosteronism. Methods Fifty-seven patients in the past 7 years chnically diagnosed as primary aldosteronism [22cases of aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA), 26 idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) and 9 primary adrenal hyperplasia (PAH)] were selected. The plasma potassium, basic and upright plasma renin activity, plasma and urinary aldosterone were determined. 19 patients with essential hypertension served as control. All patients with primary aldosteronism underwent adrenal CT, postural stimuhtion test (PST) and adrenal venous sampling (AVS) to differentiate the subtypes. The clinical and laboratory data were followed up during survey. Results (1) The patients with APA had higher blood pressure and aldosterone level in plasma or urine, but lower plasma potassium and plasma renin activity than those with IHA. In PAH group, these parameters were in the ranges between APA group and IHA group. For the diagnosis of APA, IHA and PAH, the coincidences were 86.4%, 73.1% and 22.2% by adrenal CT, 86.4%, 80.8% and 77.8% by the ratio of aldosterone in both sides of AVS and 95.5%,92.3% and 100.0% by the ratio of aldosterone to cortisol in beth sides, respectively. (2) The plasmaaldosterone, systohc and diastolic blood pressure were decreased after operation in the patients of APA and PAH,and no significant changes were found in patients with IHA. Conclusion The abnormal laboratory findings in patients with APA axe more evident than those in IHA. The result of PST is overlapping considerably in cases ofAPA and IHA. Adrenal venous samphng yields a high coincidence, which should be done in patients with negative CT scanning. The ratio of aldosterone to eortisol in AVS is more reliable. The clinical and laboratory data,especially plasma potassium will be improved after operation in patients with APA and PAH. But there is no change in patients with IHA during the follow-up period.

Objective To compare the efficacies of intralesional hyaluronidase(HAase), intralesional dexamethasone(DEX), and intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX on skin damage caused by vinorelbine extravasation in a rat model. Methods After establishing an animal model with vinorelbine extravasation in each lower extremity of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats, we treated the rats with intralesional HAase,intralesional DEX, intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX,intralesional saline,or received no treatment as control.The wound area on 1 d, 4 d, 8 d, 12 d, 18 d, 24 d, 30 d and the time of healing were observed and compared.Results The wound area on 1 d, 4 d, 8 d, 12 d, 18 d and 24 d was significantly lower in intralesional HAase group, intralesional DEX group,intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX group,and intralesional saline group than that in control group (P ＜0.05), and that was significantly lower in intralesional HAase group and intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX group than that in intralesional DEX group and intralesional saline group (P ＜0.05). The healing time was significantly shorter in 4 therapy groups than that in control group [(25.1±3.1) d, (27.9±2.8) d, (23.0±3.2) d, and (28.4±3.9) d vs.(31.2±3.0) d, P ＜0.05], and that was significantly lower in intralesional HAase group and intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX group than that in intralesional DEX group and intralesional saline group (P ＜0.05). Conclusion The monotherapy with intralesional HAase or intralesional DEX, with decreasing the extent of skin damage and shortening the healing time, is effective therapy for skin damage caused by vinorelbine extravasation, and the monotherapy with intralesional Haase is more efficacious. The efficacy of intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX seems better than that of monotherapy.

Objective To review an arthroscopic technique using suture fixation for repair of the tibial eminence fractures.Methods A review of 33 patiernts with 11 Meyers and McKeever type Ⅱ,19Ⅲand 3 Ⅳ fractures of the tibial eminence treated with arthroscopic suture fixation were conducted.Results Mean follow-up time was 7 months(range,6 to 12 months).At follow-up evaluation,the range of motion retum to their previous normal levels(rang,0°to 130°).All patients underwent X-ray examination that confirmed the fracture have been healed in 2 months except 2 cases, and pulled out fixation in 12 months.Conclusion The technique of arthroscopic internal fixation of avulsed tibial eminence fractures in 33 cases is very useful in dealing with the fractures in simple fixation,minimal trauma,quick recovery.
