Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of vaginal paravaginal repair(VPVR) plus vaginal bridge repair in the treatment of female pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods Sixty-five patients with different defects of pelvic floor underwent VPVR or plus vaginal bridge repair for posterior vaginal wall. Patients were followed up after operation. The cure rate was estimated subjectively and objectively. The patients' quality of life was evaluated by the pelvic floor distress inventory short form 20 (PFDI-20). Results All 65 cases were treated by vaginal hysterectomy and anterior vaginal repair, in which there were 33 cases underwent VPVR while 32 cases underwent VPVR plus middle area repair. Forty concomitant procedures for vaginal bridge repair were also performed. The average operative time was (110.00±20.12) min and blood loss was (119.52±45.33) ml. The symptom of stress urinary incontinence of 25 cases significantly released after operation. Four incision recovery delayed and there were no other complicatious occurred. Patients were followed up for 6-29 months,the objective cure rate was 100.00% (65/65) and subjective cure rate was 92.31%(60/65), and 58 cases (89.23%)improved significantly with the quality of life comparing with that of pre-operation by completing PFDI-20 (P<0.01). Conclusions It is an effective and safe procedure for VPVR plus vaginal bridge repair to correct median to severe anterior vaginal prolapse and posterior vaginal wall prolapse. More clinical trials are needed to evaluate their long-term outcome.

Objective To investigate MRI manifestations of lumbar and proximal femoral bone marrow changes before and after recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) was subcutaneous injected for healthy adults.Methods Twenty healthy blood stem cell donors without hematologic disease were enrolled in this study. All of them underwent lumbar sagittal and proximal femur coronal MRI examination with spin echo T1 WI and fat-suppressed T2WI.The first examination were performed before subcutaneous injection of rhG-CSF for comparison. In 4-7 days and 30-60 days after injection, the other two examinations were performed. The signal changes of lumbar and proximal femoral bone marrow were investigated by reading pictures and calculating the contrasted noise ratio (CNR).ResultsBefore rhG-CSF injection, all patients presented normal signal intensity of hone marrow. In 4-7 days after injection, all the 20 cases presented homogeneous signal decrease in lumbar vertebral bodys on T1 WI, accompanied by reduced fatty signal. In proximal femur, patchy or stripped hypointensity areas were found in intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric areas on T1 WI. On fat-suppressed T2 WI images, the signal of lumbar and proximal femoral bone marrow changed to equal or slightly-high signal intensity. In all cases,abnormal signal areas presented in lumbar and proximal femoral bone marrow occurred simultaneously in the same case.In the 10 cases received the third MRI during 30-60 days after rhG-CSF injection, signal intensity of lumbar bone marrow turned to normal in all sequence, but abnormal signal intensity areas were still existed and extended to distal part in femoral bone marrow, which appeared as symmetric stripped or patchy equal or slightly-low signal intensity on T1 WI and equal or slightly-high signal intensity on T2 WI. The CNR of lumbar bone marrow to subcutaneous fat before rhG-CSF injection, in 4-7 days and 30-60 days after rhG-CSF injection were 114. 11 ± 15. 11,71.04 ± 12. 25 and 91.64 ± 1 I. 68, respectively. Significant difference was found between before rhG-CSF injection and 4-7 days after injection ( P < 0. 05 ) , but no significant difference between the others( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion After injection of rhG-CSF, the short-term changes of hematopoietic cells and fat content in bone marrow can be displayed on MRI, which provided non-invasive information for bone marrow transplantation.

OBJECTIVE:
To provide anantomical basis for the endoscope-assisted partial superficial parotidectomy via retroauricular hairline approach (EASPRHA) and assess its feasibility and safety.
METHOD:
The surgical anatomy of retroauricular hairline region and parotid gland region were observed in 15 fresh human cadavers (30 halves). The EASPRHA was performed on 5 human cadavers (10 halves). After the procedure, the related vascular and neural structures were evaluated.
RESULT:
The retroauricular hairline region extends between superficial musculoaponeurotic system and superficial cervical fascia. On the superficial surface of the upper sternocleidomastoid lie the lesser occipital nerve, the great auricular nerve and the external jugular vein. The bifurcation of great auricular nerve is(22.85 ± 2.01) mm from the bottom of earlobe. The parotid gland region extends between parotidomassteric fascia and parotid gland parenchyma. The facial nerve emerging from the stylomastoid foramen runs across the superficial surface of base of styloid process, passes through the interspace between cartilage of external acoustic meatus and posterior belly of digastric muscle, and enters the parotid gland. The bifurcation of facial nerve trunk is (19.10 ± 3.10)mm from the mastoidale and (39.49 ± 5.78) mm from the mandibular angle. Above the posterior belly of digastric muscle, the posterior auricular artery arises from the posterior wall of the external carotid artery with its main stem running over the superficial surface of facial nerve trunk. In all endoscope-assisted operations, the partial superficial parotidectomy was successful without the need for an additional incision. No major neurovascular damage wasobserved.
CONCLUSION
A thorough knowledge of the surgical anatomy of retroauricular hairline region and parotid gland region is an essential requirement in performing the safe and feasible EASPRHA.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the modified rhytidectomy incision in superficial parotidectomy.
METHOD:
Thirty-five patients with superficial parotid tumor were included in this study. A modified rhytidectomy incision often used in facial plastic surgery was used for superficial parotidectomy and subtotal superficial parotidectomy with preservation of facial nerve and great auricular nerve. The follow-up study included the exposed region, the cosmetic effect of this approach and the rate of complication.
RESULT:
All patients healed without salivary fistula, and were satisfied with this modified approach. Temporary paralysis of the marginal mandibular branch of facial nerve were found in five patients, and six patients felt insensible around earlobe after operation. They all recovered in 1 to 3 months after surgery, no recurrence was happened during follow-up in 36 to 60 months (median follow-up period was 48 months).
CONCLUSION
The modified rhytidectomy incision provided good exposure, had less complication and better cosmetic outcome.

Background:With the progress and widely application of endoscopic techniques,the prevalence rate of periampullary diverticulum (PAD)is increasing in recent years. However,the results of studies investigating the correlation of PAD and its types with common bile duct (CBD)stone are different. Aims:To investigate the influence of PAD and its types on CBD stone. Methods:A total of 1524 consecutive inpatients who underwent diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP for pancreatobiliary diseases from Jan. 2014 to Dec. 2016 at the General Hospital of Xinjiang Military Region of Chinese PLA were enrolled and divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of PAD. Patients in PAD group were further classified into 3 subgroups by the papilla's location with respect to the diverticulum. Their clinical data were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results:The proportion of elderly patients (≥60 years old)in PAD group was 82. 2% (310 /377),which was significantly higher than that in non-PAD group [60. 8% (697 / 1147),P < 0. 05]. The prevalences of CBD stone,gallstone associated with CBD stone,post-cholecystectomy and recurrent CBD stone were higher and the size of CBD stone was larger in PAD group than in non-PAD group (P all < 0. 05). Furthermore,stratified analysis revealed that the CBD stone was more prevalent and the size of stone was larger in type Ⅱ PAD than in type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ PAD (P <0. 05), while recurrent CBD stone was more frequent in type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ PAD than in type Ⅲ PAD (P < 0. 05). Multivariate analysis indicated that the elderly and PAD were the risk factors for recurrence of CBD stone,and cholecystectomy was a protective factor. Conclusions:The elderly is predisposed to PAD. PAD and its types are associated with the development and recurrence of CBD stone. CBD stone is more prevalent in patients with PAD especially type Ⅱ PAD. The size of stone is larger and the post ERCP recurrence rate is high in type Ⅱ PAD.

Objective To investigate the effect of allgeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for β-thalassemia major. Methods Twenty-four β-thalassemia major patients with median age of 4 years (range: 2~15 years), 18 boys and 6 girls, received allo-HSCT.They were classified into class Ⅱ-Ⅲ according to Pesaro thalassemia classification. Twenty-three transplantations were from sibling donor and 1 was from mother, either HLA-identical (n = 23) or HLA-mismatched (5/6) (n = 1). Fifteen patients received bone marrow transplantation (BMT) plus peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), and 9 were subjected to umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). The conditioning regimen consisted of busalphan, cyclophosphamide,fludarabine, plus hydroxyurea before transplantation. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis included CsA, methotrexate, antilymphpcute globulin, and mycophenolate mofetil. The median follow-up period was 13 months (range: 3~69). Results Of 24 patients, there were 21 cases (87. 5 %) of disease-free survival, 1 (4. 2 %) transplantation-related death, and 2 cases (8. 3 %) of rejection. Three-year overall survival and disease-free survival rate was 91.7 % and 87. 5 %respectively. The cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ -Ⅳ acute GVHD and chronic GVHD was 16. 7 %and 20. 3 %, particularly cumulative extensive chronic GVHD was 5. 0 %. Conclusion The sibling donor BMT plus PBSCT is an effective and safe way to treat β-thalassemia major. Cord blood is an important source of hematopoietic stem cells for HSCT. The protocol GVHD prophylaxis of CsA,MTX, ATG with a low-dose and short course of MMF can effectively reduce the incidence of severe acute GVHD, improve the outcome of thalassemia transplantation.

A series of Poly[aspartic acid-co-L-lysine](PAL) are copolycondensed by DL-aspartice acid and L-lysine with different ratios. Their constructions are identified by the spectra of 1H-NMR, FT-IR, X-Ray). These spectra are proved to have good regularity of these copolymers. alpha,beta-Poly[(N-hydroxypropyl/aminoethyl)-DL-Aspartamide-co-L-lysine] (PHAAL) is synthesized by ring-opening poly [aspartic acid-co-lysine] (PAL). PHAAL has good degradability in the phosphoric acid buffer solution (0.01 M, pH = 7.4) in the enzyme solution (Papain, Trypsine). PHAAL appeared tobe low cytotoxicity in Hela, ECV-304, Bcap37 cell lines, which was quantified by MTT assay. The combination ability of PHAAL with plasmid DNA was evaluated by agarose gel electrophoresis with agarose gel (1.0% w/v) containing ethidium bromide (0.25 microg/ml). The PHAAL with higher ratios of lysine in the copolymers have higher ability of condensing DNA. In summary, PHAAL, the polyaminoacid materials, could be one kind of macromolecule materials tobeused as the non-viral gene vehicle.

Objective To investigate the image features of congenital pyriform sinus fistula (CPSF). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features and preoperative images of 80 patients with confirmed diagnosis of CPSF by surgical and pathological outcome in Guangdong general hospital from January 2007 to December 2014. At least one of the following imaging examinations were performed for all the patients, including Barium swallow X-ray (BSX), CT and MRI. Among them, 63 patients were examined with BSX, while 42 patients underwent plain and enhanced CT scans, wherein 40 of them were exanimated shortly after BSX. Thirty-two patients underwent plain and enhanced MRI scans. Patients were divided into two groups according to their age, young age group (≤14 years old) and older age group (>14 years old). Furthermore, they were also grouped based on inflammatory or quiescent stage clinically. The images of BSX, CT, and MRI from the patients were analyzed and the positive diagnostic rates (PDR) between groups were compared by using χ2 tests. Results For the patients examined with BSX, sinuses in 35 of 63 were depicted from pyriform and fistulas in 9 of 63 were depicted from the pyriform. The overall PDR of BSX was 74.6%(47/63),wherein 46.2%(12/26)in young age group , 94.6%(35/37)in older age group, 52.9%(9/17) in inflammatory stage group ,and 82.6%(38/46)in quiescent stage group. The inter-group differences were statistically significant (χ2 were 18.911 and 5.766,both P<0.05). The PDR of CPSF with CT was 85.7%(36/42), MRI was 84.4%(27/32), BSX+CT was 87.5%(35/40). The courses of fistula or sinus were showed on CT and MRI. The presence of air bubbles at the inferomedial edge of cricothyroid joints or around the upper lobe of the thyroid gland, the changes of the morphology of thyroid grand as well as the inflammatory change along the fistula region were detected much clearly on CT and MRI. There was no statistical difference between CT and MRI groups(P>0.05).Conclusions BSX could be a screening method for suspected cases of CPSF in quiescent stage. However, the PDR could be affected by many factors (age and inflammation). CT and MRI could provide valuable information for diagnosis. An examination combined BSX and CT is preferred to improve the positive detective rate of CPSF.
