Objective To study the locations, types and causes of different pseudoaneurysms in order to find out the optimal individualized treatment for different pseudoaneurysms. Methods Different methods were applied in treating 21 patients with pseudoaneurysm, which were located at limb (n = 11 ), spleen (n =3), kidney (n = 2) , common lilac artery (n = 1), internal iliac artery (n = 1), gallbladder (n = 1) and penis (n = 1 ). Different managements were employed in treating these pseudoaneurysms. Temporary obstruction of blood circulation with balloon together with arterial anastomosis or direct incision neoplasty was performed in 9 cases with pseudoaneurysms at limb arteries close to the larger joints. Endovascular stent graft was used to isolate the trunk type of pseudoaneurysm in 4 cases, in 2 of them branch arterial embolism and stent graft endovascular exclusion were applied as they had common iliae artery trunk type of pseudoaneurysm at the opening of internal iliac artery. Gelfoam together with metallic coils embolization was employed in 6 cases with terminal type of pseudoaneurysms. Results After different treatments, tumor cavities disappeared in the 21 cases with pseudoaneurysms. Distal arterial pulse returned to normal and no nerve damage occurred in 11 cases with limb pseudoaneurysms. No internal hemorrhage was observed and distal blood circulation returned to normal after graft endovascular exclusion in 2 eases with pseudoaneurysms at spleen artery trunk and in 2 cases with pseudoaneurysms at iliac artery trunk. In 6 cases with terminal type of pseudoaneurysms,the tumor cavity disappeared, hemorrhage stopped and no ischemic necrosis of organ occurred. But one of them with multiple traumatic pseudoaneurysms located at the second grade branch died one week after embolism due to a serious pelvic trauma accompanied with serious infection. Conclusion Based on the locations, types and causes of pseudoaneurysms, different individualized treatment should be adopted in order to obtain optimal results with least damages.

BACKGROUND: Interlocking intramedullary nails(SliN)is frequently used to treat femoral fracture.Routine pulling and compression and postoperative motorization are important for fracture healing.To improve fracture healing rate has been focused using various factors.OBJECTIVE: To explore the biomechanical performance of static SliN in fixation of femoral fracture,and the effect on fracture healing.METHODS: A total of 8 pairs of femurs from adult cadavers immersed in formalin were used to prepare models of midpiece transverse fracture.The fracture was respectively fixed using static SliN,TiNi shape-memory sawtooth-arm embracing internal fixator(TiNi SMA),and dynamic compression plate(DCP).The anti-compression,anti-bending,and anti-torsion rigidity were measured,and the stress shielding rate was calculated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: SliN was similar to DCP group in anti-compression rigidity and anti-bending rigidity(P > 0.05),but the anti-torsion was lower than DCP group(P<0.05).Compared with TiNi SMA group,SliN displayed greater anti-compression rigidity and anti-bending rigidity(P<0.05),but similar anti-torsion(P > 0.05).SliN was similar to DCP group in stress shielding rate(P>0.05),but significantly greater than TiNi SMA group(P<0.01).The biomechanics of SliN was stable,but the stress shielding rate was high.Changing static interlocking into dynamic interlocking in time is necessary in clinic to promote fracture healing.

Objective To study the clinical and pathological characteristics of early gastric cancer ( EGC) and to evaluate the value of blue laser imaging combined with magnification endoscopy ( BLI-ME) in the diagnosis of EGC. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on data of 255 patients with EGC diagnosed in Huashan Hospital from January 2014 to January 2017, including 33 cases of preoperative BLI-ME intensive examination. According to the Japanese classification of gastric carcinoma of Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, the EGCs were histopathologically divided into differentiated and undifferentiated subtypes. Clinical characteristics, endoscopic features, pathological type, lymph node metastasis, and lesion characteristics of BLI-ME were analyzed. Results Among the 255 cases of EGC, 164 cases ( 63. 31％) were male, 242 cases ( 94. 90％) were over 40 years old, 182 cases ( 71. 37％) belonged to differentiated type, 93 cases ( 36. 47％) were located in gastric antrum, 92 cases ( 36. 08％) were type 0-Ⅱc under endoscopy, and 37 cases (14. 51％) had lymph node metastasis. Comparative analysis showed that the lymph node metastasis rate was significantly lower in mucosal carcinoma compared to submucosal carcinoma[ 5. 04％(7/139) VS 25. 86％ (30/116),χ2=22. 109, P=0. 000], lower in differentiated carcinoma compared to undifferentiated carcinoma[9. 89％ (18/182) VS 26. 03％ (19/73), χ2=10. 938, P=0. 002], and lower in tumors with maximum diameter of lesion≤2. 0 cm compared to maximum diameter of lesion>2. 0 cm [ 9. 88％ ( 16/162 ) VS 22. 58％ ( 21/93 ) , χ2 =7. 687, P=0. 009 ] . Among the 33 cases undergoing BLI-ME, differentiated EGC was mainly fine-network pattern (13. 64％, 3/22), intralobular loop pattern (ILL)-1 (59. 09％, 13/22) and ILL-2 (22. 73％, 5/22), whereas undifferentiated subtype patients were characterized as ILL-2 ( 45. 45％, 5/11 ) and corkscrew pattern ( 54. 55％, 6/11 ) . Conclusion The incidence of EGC is higher in male with age over 40 years. Gastric lesions occur most frequently in the antrum, and the most common microscopic morphology is 0-Ⅱc type. Tumor>2. 0 cm or invasion of submucous layer, and undifferentiated carcinoma are prone to lymph node metastasis. The assessment of mucosal microvascular pattern and micro surface structure under BLI-ME facilitate to determine the pathological type of EGC.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of propranolol and 595 nm pulsed dye la ser (PDL) in treatment of infantile hemangioma.Methods 26 infants admitted to our hospital from January 2013 to January 2015 with hemangioma underwent oral propranolol 2 mg/(kg · d) treatment after excluding of taboos.The daily doses were divided equally to two parts,taken on the time of 8:00 and 20:00,when the electrocardiograph and pulse oxygen were monitored and recorded persistently.The patients were discharged from the hospital when it was stable,with review of blood routine examination,fasting blood glucose,liver and kidney function,and the change of size,character and color of hemangioma were recorded,and taken photos every two weeks after discharge.The 595 nm PDL was used to treat the hemangioma faded incompletely when the propranolol was terminated.Results The tension and color of all hemangioma decreased in varying degrees in taking propranolol for 72 hours,and evaluated the efficacy as recovery completely 19 cases;signifivantly effective in 3 cases and partial efficacy in 4 cases;the latter 7 cases were further treated with 595 nm PDL.Followed-up for 6-12 months showed that efficacy of recovery reached 100％.10 cases showed heart rate was mild reversibly slow,with no special treatment.5 cases had diarrhea,and healed with symptomatic treatment.No adverse reactions like liver and kidney dysfunction and so on were found.Conclusions Propranolol and 595 nm PDL can effectively treat infantile hemangioma,and thus it can be used as the recommended treatment of infantile hemangioma.

Objective To establish a mice model of atopic dermatitis with acute itching and investigate the antipruritic effect and its mechanism of Xiaofeng Zhiyang granules（XFZYG）. Methods A mice model of atopic dermatitis was prepared by induction method. Mice were sensitized by calcipotriol and ovalbumin (OVA) applying to the right ear daily for 10 days, and then stimulated by OVA injected intradermally into the right cheek to resulting in acute itching. These mice were divided into 5 groups: blank control group, model group, low dose (7.2 g/kg) and high dose (14.4 g/kg) of XFZYG, and positive control group (montelukast 5 mg/kg). Drugs were administered by gavage at 12 h and 30 min before stimulation. The leukotriene levels in the serum of the mice were measured by Elisa and the basophil ratio and activation status in the blood were measured by flow cytometry. Results The mean number of scratches in the model group was 56 between 30 min and 60 min after stimulation, while the mean number of scratches in the low and high dose of XFZYG groups were 42 and 23 respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the model group （P<0.05）. The serum leukotriene levels and the proportion of basophils in the low and high dose of XFZYG groups were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.05). Conclusion XFZYG had certain therapeutic effect on acute itching of atopic dermatitis in mice, and the mechanism of its action was related to the reduction of leukotriene level and basophil ratio in serum of mice with atopic dermatitis .
