Objective To investigate the surgical treatment of Maisonneuve injury associated with posterior malleolus fracture under direct visualization via the posterolateral approach.Methods Between January 2008 and June 2015,27 patients with Maisonneuve injury associated with posterior malleolus fracture were treated at our department.They were 18 men and 9 women,aged from 20 to 60 years (average,40.1 years).All fractures and syndesmoses received open reduction under direct visualization and internal fixation via the posterolateral approach.The posterior malleolus fractures were fixed with screws or plate and the syndesmoses fixed using cortical bone screws.Functional results were evaluated using the Baird-Jackson ankle scoring system.Results The patients were followed up for 8 to 30 months (average,18 months).No wound infection,necrosis,dehiscence,lose of reduction or implant failure was found during follow-up visits.All cases got bony union at the last visit.The excellent and good rate was 92.6％.Conclusion Since the posterolateral approach allows good access to the Maisonneuve injury and posterior malleolus fracture under direct visualization,it facilitates accurate direct fracture reduction,stable fixation and early exercise.

Objective To explore and summarize the heart-shape anastomosis for hirschsprung′s disease .Methods Before the operation,the colon was cleaned thoroughly ,31 cases of this group (8 month-6 years old)underwent colonic pull-through and the dilated segment of colon was pulled out and resected.Normal colon and lower segment of rectum′s stomosis were stomosed as heart-shape (higher anterior and lower posterior).After replacing the colon and stomosis ,close the abdomen layer by layer.Results All 31 cases anus sphincter muscle were retained at most degree,so that retained their function of normal defecation .All 31 cases were healed and discharged, without one case with early complications as stomosis fistila,et al.No stomosis stenosis or other late period complication were found in 24 cases with long period follow-up.Conclusions Heart-shape stomosis is a good method for hirschsprung′s disease,especially fitful to the common type and short-segment type and long-segment type with diseased part in sigmoid colon .This method is easy,convenient,no special equipment was needed,easy to be publicized.

AIM: To study the pharmacodynamic effect of Chanfuan Oral Solution. METHODS: Acute blood stagnation caused by adrenaline, ankle swelling, ear edema and writhing caused by acetic acid were taken for experiment models. RESULTS: Chanfuan Oral Solution could significantly reduce blood viscosity. Results also showed that it had inhibitory effect on rat's ankle swelling, ear edema and reduction in ratio of writhing of mice. CONCLUSION: These results suggest Chanfuan Oral Solution is an effective drug for reducing blood viscosity, anti inflammation and analgesia.

Objective To evaluate the security and biocompatibility of a new kind of absorbable high-strength PDLLA-CPP composite, which is used for internal fracture fixation. Methods According to the national standard of the procedure of appraise in food security and toxicology, micronucleus test of bone marrow cell, spermatic aberration test, chromosomal aberration test, and teratogenic test were measured with IP maximal tolerance dose of maceration extract from PDLLA-CPP composites. Meanwhile, chondrocyte culture with PDLLA-CPP composite was used to evaluate the effect of PDLLA-CPP composite on cartilage cell proliferation. Results Micronucleus test of bone marrow cell, spermatic aberration test, chromosomal aberration test, and teratogenic test were not affected by IP maximal tolerance dose of PDLLA-CPP maceration extract. PDLLA-CPP composite also had no cytotoxicity on cartilage cell proliferation. Conclusion PDLLA-CPP is a new and safe medical material with good biocompatibility and absorbability.

Objective To investigate the differentiated thyroid carcinoma diagnosis and treatment options. Methods From Feb. 2002 to Jan. 2008,78 patients received different surgical resection regarding the type of tumor size,number of tumor,ages and jugular lymphatic metastasis. Patients with unilateral differentiated thyroid carcinoma underwent the resection of ipsilateral isthmus of thyroid lobe or plus partial contralateral gland,and those with bilateral-lobe underwent total thyroidectomy or near-total thyroidectomy. High-risk patients (age >45 years,tumor size >4 cm,tumor size ≤4 cm,but surpass the envelop of thyroid) were performed by functional neck dissection or lymph node dissection of central region (Ⅵ area) besides postoperative endocrine therapy. Results Eleven cases underwent the resection of ipsilateral lobe with isthmus, 19 cases underwent surgical removal of ipsilateral lobe with isthmus plus partial contralateral gland,26 cases underwent near-total thyroidectomy and 22 total thyroidectomy. 25 cases underwent functional neck dissection, 23 cases underwent neck dissection of central region. There were 68 papillary thyroid carcinoma (87. 18%), 10 follicular thyroid carcinoma (12. 82%). There were 26 cases with lymphatic metastasis of Ⅵ area. Postoperative complications included 12 cases (15.38%) with deadlimb caused by hypocalcemia, 8 cases (10.26%) with transient recurrent nerve paralysis,2 cases (2.56%) with permanent injury of recurrent laryngeal nerves, 3 cases (3. 58%) with chylous fistula. Seventy-four(94. 87%) cases were followed up postoperatively for a period from 6 months to 6 years,which showed that no death occurred,but 6 relapsed with jugular lymphatic metastasis,after reoperation no distant metastasis occurred. Survival rate was 97. 30% (72/74). Conclusion Treatment of the differentiated thyroid carcinoma should be based on the size of tumor,number of tumor,age and jugular lymphatic metastasis. Lymph node dissection of central region was necessary for high-risk patients of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

Objective Rheological properties and gelation properties of agar were investigated. Methods The gelling point,melting point and the gel strength of agar were detected with MCR101 rheometer and TA texture testing instrument. Results and Conclusion Rheological properties of agar were affected by its concentration ,temperature and the addition of salt (such as NaCl ,CaCl2) and sucrose. Apparent viscosity exhibited shear thinning behavior following the power law model. Apparent viscosity increased with the increase of concentration,and decreased with the rise of temperature. The decrease in viscosity followed an Arrhenius temperature dependence. Agar solutions exhibited typical "weak gel" properties by small strain oscillatory measurements. The results indicated that the agar solution was characterized as a gel properties ,and which could form a kind of heat reversible gel. The gelling point of agar was lower than its melting point. The gel strength of agar could be affected by its gel time,and the addition of salt (such as NaCl,CaCl2) and sucrose.

Objective To investigate the expressions of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt and E-cadherin and their clinical significance in thyroid papillary carcinomas.Methods Expressions of PI3K, Akt, and E-cadherin were detected in 62 cases of thyroid papillary carcinomas,30 cases of thyroid goiter and 30 cases of normal thyroid by immunohistochemistry (EnVison),and simultaneously compared with age, sex, tumor size, clinical tumor node metastasis( TNM) stages, and lymph node metastasis in thy-roid papillary carcinomas.Results The expression rate of PI3K, Akt, and E-cadherin was 74.2%(46/62), 66.1%(41/62), 16.1%(10/62),respectively.Expressions of three proteins in thyroid papillary carcinomas were significantly different from those in thyroid goiter and normal thyroid tissues ( P <0.05). The lower positive rates of PI3K and Akt proteins were obtained in the group of stageⅠ~Ⅱthan that in the group of stageⅢ~Ⅳ(χ2 =4.976, P =0.026;χ2 =6.233, P =0.013).Higher positive rates of PI3K and Akt proteins were obtained in the group of lymph-node metastasis than that in group of non-lymph-node metastasis (χ2 =6.675, P =0.010;χ2 =7.511, P =0.006).Higher positive rate of E-cadherin protein was obtained in the group of stage Ⅰ~Ⅱ than that in the group of stage Ⅲ ~Ⅳ (χ2 =6.558, P =0.010 ) .Higher positive rate of E-cadherin proteins was obtained in the group of non-lymph-node metastasis than that in the group of lymph node metastasis(χ2 =5.678, P =0.017).There was significant positive correlation between expressions of PI3K and Akt through Spearman correlation analysis ( r =0.423, P <0.05).PI3K was negatively correlated with E-cadherin with Spearman correlation analysis ( r =-0.527, P <0.05).Akt was also negatively correlated with E-cadherin ( r =-0.417, P <0.05).Conclusions PI3K/Akt pathway might regulate thyroid papillary carcinoma cells proliferation, invasion and metastasis.
