Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and surgical management of appandiceal mucoceles.Method The clinical data of 50 patients with appendiceal mucoceles surgically treated from January 2004 to January 2008 were reviewed retrospectively. Result The correct preoperative diagnosis rate was 8%.Eight patients were complicated with pseudomyxoma peritonei.The canceration rate was 4%.All the 50 patients recovered uneventfully after the surgery.There was no complications,no recurrence during the follow-up period,including the 2 patients with canceration. Conclusion It was difficult to make correct diagnosis of appendiceal mucoceles preoperatively.The diagnosis should always be in mind if the B-type ultrasonography indicated a cystoadenoma.Abdominal CT coupled with necessary digestive image examinations may improve the correct diagnosis rate.Some patients may be complicated with pseudomyxoma peritonei.Occasionally this abdominal mass was also associated with malignancy.Surgery is the management of choice,and the prognosis is good.

[Objective]To study the application and clinical results of the adjustable erternal fixation of ankle joint(AEFA) in orthopedic surgery.[Method]From January 1999 to May 2005,45 cases(55 feet)of equinovarus deformity were treated with orthopedic surgery.In order to preventent the deformity relapsion,the patients were assigned to two groups.The A group(26 cases,32 feet)patients were treated with the adjustable erternal fixation of ankle joint(AEFA).The B group(19 cases,23 feet)patients were treated with plaster immobilization.The orthopedic surgery effect and functions of ankle joint were studied and tested with independent sample t test and x~2 test.[Result]Thirty-eight cases were fellowed-up for 3 months to 9 years(averaged 19 months).There were significant difference between the two groups in the functions of ankle joint.[Conclusion]The new apparatus can effectively prevent the foot-drop deformity and enhance the function of ankle joint.

Objective To systematically analyze therapeutic effects of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) on refractory steroid-resistant,-dependent or-intolerant graft-versus-host disease (GVHD),to compare remission rates of skin GVHD in detail.Methods Databases were searched for studies concerning remission rates of GVHD after the treatment with ECP,and relevant data were extracted and pooled by using meta-analysis with STATA 12.0 software.Results A total of 22 literatures were reviewed,including 787 patients with refractory GVHD.Meta-analysis showed that the pooled complete remission (CR) rate and overall remission (OR) rate were 57％ (95％ CI:47％-66％) and 79％ (71％-86％) respectively in patients with acute GVHD,27％ (21％-33％) and 63％ (58％-69％) respectively in patients with chronic GVHD,77％ (71％-82％) and 87％ (82％-91％) in patients with acute skin GVHD,as well as 39％ (30％-48％) and 70％ (63％-77％) in patients with chronic skin GVHD.Conclusion ECP is an effective therapy for refractory GVHD,especially for skin GVHD.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common form of secondary endocrine hypertension,which is characterized by hypertension,hypokelamia,myathenia,elevated serum aldosterone concentration and suppressed plasma renin activity.Besides,accumulating research evidences showed that parathyroid hormone (PTH) level was elevated in patients with primary aldosteronism,accompanied by secondary hyperparathyroidism.This review systemically introduces the interaction between aldosterone and PTH in PA patients.

Objective To identify the clinical and neurophysiological features of multiple system atrophy (MSA) and explore diagnostic values using various techniques in electro neurophysiology Methods Forty four subjects diagnosed as multiple system atrophy (MSA) during 1983 to 2001 in PUMC Hospital were studied retrospectively about their clinical features, routine electromyography (EMG), nerve conductive velocity (NCV), somatosensory evoked potential (SEP), motor evoked potential (MEP), brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) and visual evoked potential (VEP) The clinical features and the electroneurophysiologic results were analyzed in different subgroups (probable MSA and possible MSA, OPCA and non OPCA, classified MSA and unclassified MSA) Results Most patients were found to be suffered from autonomic failure (88 6%) and cerebella dysfunction (88 6%) The pyramidal sign was seen in 72 7% of patients No remarkable statistical differences were found in all of the above three domains The incidence of Parkinsonism was 36 4% of all the patients, which showed significant differences between probable and possible MSA (54 5% vs 18 2%), non OPCA and OPCA (50% vs 7 1%), unclassified MSA and classified MSA (52% vs 15 8%) EMG was abnormal in 7 patients (38 1%), all of them were neurogenic impairments The rates of abnormal EMG were varied differently between probable and possible MSA (54 5% vs 22 2%), non OPCA and OPCA (53 8% vs 14 3%), unclassified MSA and classified MSA (58 3% vs 12 5%), but without statistical differences The abnormal rates in BAEP,SEP, VEP and MEP were 56 7%, 28%, 23 1% and 20 0%, respectively, and there were no significant differences between subgroups Conclusions It should be hard to divide MSA into groups only by the clinical manifestations All EPs were abnormal in some extent The most sensitive test is BAEP in current study, but there were no differences among the subgroups in the rates of abnormal EPs The difference of EMG and NCV between the groups showed that the technique might be helpful in the diagnosis of MSA

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value in pulmonary interstitial fibrosis by transbronchial lung biopsy(TBLB) and immunohistochemistry. Methods The lung tissue samples were obtained from 20 cases of pulmonary fibrosis due to different causes, including 9 cases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF) and 11 cases of pulmonary fibrosis caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (PF COPD), by means of transbronchial lung biopsy. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson trichrome staining and immunostaining with anti type Ⅲ collagen and anti type I collagen multiclonal antibodies were performed. Differences in clinical characteristics, pathological manifestations, levels, types and distribution of proliferation of collagen fibers between IPF and PF COPD were compared. Results The proliferation of collageneous fibers was significantly higher in IPF than in PF COPD( P

The author proposed detailed introduction of handling of complications in the Australian AR-DRGs program,introduced considerations of complications by AR-DRGs from two aspect-the level of disease complications and the complexity of clinical treatments.The authors specifically described CCL and PCCL evaluations.This paper provides reference for the localization of DRGs program design.

ObjectiveTo investigate the causes, operation time, and microscopic repairing procedures of contusive iridodialysis. Methods23cases(23 eyes) who had partial iridodialysis due to contusions of the eyeballs underwent the microscopic repair during 7 to 18 days after injury. Viscoelastic agent and other auxiliary devices were used in the operation. ResultsAll eyes were fully corrected with approximate round-shaped pupils and their visual function improved. 1 eye with raised intraocular pressure was performed with trabeculectomy. ConclusionTimely repair of partial iridodialysis performed under microscope was safe and effective.

By collecting literatures on apoplexy recorded in"Database of Basic TCM disease"from 2001 to 2005,we statistically analyzed changes on volume of documents,major authors,major journals,and contents of study in these literatures.

Co-citation analysis, co-word analysis and strategic coordinates are combined to make known the subject theme evolu-tion. The research history of general surgery is described by eo-citation eluster analysis, citation strategic diagram is pictured by the theory of strategy coordinates to learn more about the novelty and attention of each hot topic. The present research focused on general surgery that would be found by co-words cluster analysis, and stages of development about each topic are discussed by strategic coordinates based of cluster results. It is helpful to provide a decision-making reference for professionals and managers.
