Through the experiments of producing spherical steel-bullet (4.763mm in caliber and 0,44gm in weight) wound on the hind legs of 17 dogs, the authors re- ported that there was a definite linear relationship between the reactions of the serum creatine kinase and the amount of kintic energy from the high speed of the bullets absorbed by the tissues and also with the weight of dead tissue removed around the bullet-path, Within the first 6 hours after injury, the activity of SCK increased with the rise of the biologic effect values of the amount of the kinetic energy absorbed and the weight of the dead tissue removed.

Objective:To investigate the application valve of bFGF to improve the viability of subdermal vascular network flap.Methods:Four white healthy pigs were used,each pig had 6 SVNF on back,16cm?4cm,totally 24 flaps were divided randomly into 2 groups:The bFGF groups and the control groups.On postoperative day 6,we observed the appearance of the flaps.The survival area of each flap was measured and the flap was harvested for histological analysis and the density of angiogenesis was also examined.Results:On postoperative day 6,the survival rates of the bFGF group and the control group were (81.2?1.7)% and (66.2?1.8)% respectively,the angiogenesis density of the middle and the distal segment in the bFGF group was (16.7?6.0)/mm2,(29.7?5.5)/mm2,(14.9?6.0)/mm2 respectively,while (16.6?4.0)/mm2,(21.4?5.2)/mm2,(3.5?5.1)/mm2 respectively in the control group.The bFGF group was superior to the control group in the appearance and histological analysis of the flaps.Conclusion:The results suggest that the injection of bFGF locally can promote the survival rate by accelerating the blood circulation of the SVNF’ bottom and edge,shorten the division time of SVNF and broaden the ratio of length and width.

Objective To sum up our experience on the diagnosis and treatment of rare hepatic tumors. Methods The data of 25 patients with rare liver tumors admitted in our hospital from May 2005 to January 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The final pathologic diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia was made in 6 cases, and the diagnosis of vascular leiomyoma, hilar neurilemoma, intrahepatic aneurysm, biliary cystadenoma, hepatic hamartoma, biliary villous adenoma, and hepatic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was established in one each case, respectively. The diagnosis of angiomyolipoma in 2patients, primary liver gastroimestinal stromal tumor in 2 patients, hepatoblastoma in 5 patients and liver undifferentiated sarcoma in 3 patients was established. Preoperative ultrasonography, CT and MRI were performed in 24, 22 and 6 patients respectively. Preoperative tentative diagnosis was finally confirmed by pathology in only 3 (16.7%) cases, all by CT report. Preoperative diagnosis was consistent with postoperative pathology in 5 patients (20%); All patients underwent liver resection including hemihepatectomy in 7 patients, hepatic lobectomy in 7 patients, segmentectomy in 9 patients and tumor enucleation in 2 patients; There was no recurrence after resection of benign, low malignant tumors and hepatic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; Postoperative follow-up was made for all the 5 cases of malignant tumours, and there was recurrence in 3 cases. These 3 eases underwent second resection and there were no recurrences after reoperation. The two recurrent patients died with a mean survival of 4 months.Conclusions The preoperative correct imaging diagnostic rate for rare hepatic tumors is low. Surgery is the most effective therapy and reoperation should always be attempted for tumor recurrence in order to prolong survival.

Objective To detect aberrant methylation in the promoter of FHIT and RASSF1A genes in peripheral plasma and tumor tissues from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to determine its clinical significance.Methods The methylation status of FHIT and RASSF1A genes in peripheral plasma and tumor tissues from 36 patients with HCC were detected by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction(MSP).The correlation between methylation status in plasma and clinicopathological features was analyzed.Results The frequency of promoter methylation of FHIT in tissues was 75% (27/36) and in plasma 52.8% (19/36),and the correlation coefficient was r=0.482 (P=0.003).The frequency of promoter methylation of RASSF1A in tumor tissues was 83.3% (30/36) and in plasma 61.1% (22/36),and the correlation coefficient was r=0.561 (P=0.0004).Aberrant methylation of FHIT,RASSF1A gene in the plasma and tissues had no correlation with the patients' clinicopathological features such as gender,age,HBV/HCV infection,hepatic cirrhosis,tumor size,alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level,pathological grade,staging,vascular tumour thrombus and recurrence.The sensitivity of AFP ≥400 μg/L was 44.4%,and AFP ≥20 μg/L 69.4%.The sensitivity of FHIT and RASSF1A gene promoter hypermethylation in 36 HCC patients was 72.2%.In 20 patients whose AFP <400 μg/L,the frequency of hypermethylation of the two genes together was 80%.When AFP <20 μg/L,the frequency of hypermethylation of the two genes together was 54.5 %.Conclusions There was a significant concordance between plasma and tumor tissue methylation profiles.The methylation status in plasma and tumor tissues had no correlation with the patients' clinicopathological features.Combining promoter methylation of FHIT and RASSF1A genes was superior to AFP in the diagnosis of HCC.

Objective To explore clinical implications of pleural effusion in thoracic endovascular aorta repair (TEVAR) of type B aortic dissection.Methods Clinical data of 28 patients (23 males,5 females) hospitalized from Jan 2015 to Dec 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.There were ruptured aortic dissection (RAD) (n =7) and the contained aortic dissection (CAD) (n =21).26 patients underwent TEVAR,and two patients received conservative treatment.Results 26 patients received TEVAR and operations were successful.2 patients treated conservatively died.Six patients had bilateral pleural effusion,while 20 had left pleural effusion and two had right pleural effusion.The distribution of pleural effusion was significantly different between CAD and RAD group (x2 =10.4,P < 0.05),and the rupture risk was the highest in right sided pleural effusion.The median volume of pleural effusion on right side in RAD group are higher than that in CAD group (Z =-3.293,P =0.001).One patient died of sudden death on post-op 9th day.Pleural effusion disappeared in all 24 patients who were followed-up for more than 3 months.There were no ensuing pleural thickening,pulmonary atelectasis,and lung consolidation.Conclusious Pleural effusion on left side are common in type B aortic dissection,while bulk right pleural effusion may indicate impending rupture.Endovascular therapy is a feasible,safe and effective therapy for aortic dissection with pleural effusion.
