Objective To explore the effect and safety of the operationive treatment of calculus incarceration in neck of gallbladder.Methods We analyzed retrospectively the clinical data of 26 cases with calculus in carceration In neck of Gallbladder.Results All 26 cases patients were found to have serious cholecystitis and unclear anatomic site in Calot's trangle.Six patients'operative way had to transform from laparoscopiccholecystectomy to cholecystectomy.Endogenous membrane of gallbladder were excised retrogradely in the operation.In operative process,there were no injury in extrahepatic bile duct,intestinal canal and vascular.The all patients were recovery and discharge after operation.Conclusion It is one kind of good choice to open the gallbladder,aspirate the bile and extract the stones.And then performing endogenous membrane retrograde cholecystectomy.For treatment of the Calot's trangle areas,blunt dissection may used.It is dangerous that using sharp dissection and electrosurgical knife.

Total knee arthroplasty has become one of the effective operation methods on end-stage knee osteoarthritis. However,the postoperative pain has been plaguing the clinicians. The cause of postoperative pain can be divided into iatrogenic, prosthesis and patient. Pain treatment in perioperative period includes preoperative education, analgesia in advance, and the selection and design of reinforcement; during operation mainly includes the appropriate surgical approach, keep the balance of soft tissue around the knee joint, cocktail analgesia pain around the knee joint; after operation mainly includes oral analgesic drugs, femoral nerve tissue and patient controlled analgesia. And the multimodal analgesi.a which is the analgesic methods combined application in perioperative period raised in resent years fully intervene the pain in perioperative period,so that it can effectively reduce the pain of patients after knee replacement, promote the patients do functional exercise more better and get better operation result.

Objective To investigate the result of arthroscopic surgery in the treatment of sinus tarsi syndrome. Methods The study involved 15 patients (6 males and 9 females) with sinus tarsi syndrome admitted to First Hospital of Nanjing from July 2006 to May 2008. The age of the patients ranged from 23 to 63 years ( average 46.3 years). All the patients had one side involvement, including 10 patients with left side involvement and five with right side involvement. All the operations were performed under the tourniquet control and the patients were placed at the lateral decubitus position. The lateral, anterolateral and posterolateral portals were applied intraoperatively and the medial portal was applied when necessary. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and American orthopedic foot and ankle scale (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale were used for follow-up evaluation. Results More than two lesions were found under arthroscope in all patients. The lesions included scar tissue hypertrophy and inflammation in the sinus tarsal canal, soft tissue impingement in the subtalar joint, synovitis, partial tears of subtalar capsule, interosseous talocalcaneal ligament or cervical ligament, cartilage injury and subtalar degeneration. All patients were followed up for 19-35 months (mean 26. 1 months). At the final follow-up, the VAS score was improved from preoperative 7.6 points ( range 6-9 points) to postoperative 2.5 points (range 1-4 points) (P＜0.01 ), and the AOFAS score improved from preoperative 41. 9 points (range 20-67 points) to postoperative 83. 1 points ( range 70-100 points) ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The excellence rate of the AOFAS score reached 73% at the final follow-up. Conclusion For patients with sinus tarsi syndrome after a failed conservative treatment, arthroscopic surgery should be performed as soon as possible and the clinical result is satisfactory.

The finite element method (FEM) is a mathematical technique using modern computer technology for stress analysis, and has been gradually used in simulating human body structures in the biomechanical field, especially more widely used in the research of thoracolumbar spine traumatology. This paper reviews the establishment of the thoracolumbar spine FEM, the verification of the FEM, and the thoracolumbar spine FEM research status in different fields, and discusses its prospects and values in forensic thoracolumbar traumatology.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the applicability of the modified physiological and operative severity score for enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) scoring system in predicting mortality in the patients undergoing hip joint arthroplasty.

METHODSA total of 295 patients with hip fractures were analyzed using the modified POSSUM surgical scoring system. The mean ages of the patients were 66.59 years in the complicative group, 62.28 years in noncomplicative group, 77.89 years in the death group and 63.25 years in the living group, respectively. The comparisons between the observed and predicted morbidity, between the observed and predicted mortality were made within 30 days after operation.

RESULTSThe average physiological scores and operative severity scores was 18.96+/-4.83 and 13.47+/-2.01 in complicative group, while 15.65+/-3.66 and 11.74+/-2.26 in noncomplicative group (P less than 0.05). The average physiological scores and operative severity scores was 25.56+/-3.78 and 14.22+/-0.67 in death group, while 16.46+/-4.09 and 12.25+/-2.33 in living group (P less than 0.05). Though POSSUM scoring system over-predicted the overall risk of death, its estimate was very close in the high risk groups (larger than 10% ). There was perfect consistence between the observed and the predicted morbidity as calculated by published predictor equation for morbidity, and consistence for mortality in the high risk band.

CONCLUSIONSModified POSSUM scoring system may be used to predict the morbidity in patients with hip fracture. Furthermore, POSSUM scoring system overpredicts the overall risk of death, but its estimate is close to the actual data in the high risk band (larger than 10%).

An old male patient visited the hospital due to shortness of breath and palpitation for 6 h, with fever 3 days before and pump failure at admission. Having no risk factor of coronary diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity, with ST-T changes and abnormal Q wave on ECC, the signs were compatible with those of acute anterior wall myocardial infarction, while the characteristics of cardiac biomarkers ( significant increase in Troponin I and creatine kinase's isoform, and normal creatine kinase) were not in accordance with those of acute myocardial infarction. Emergency angiography was performed, which indicated normal coronary artery, normal pulmonary artery and global systolic dysfunction of left ventricle. The diagnosis of acute severe myocarditis was established, and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was employed to provide hemodynamic support. Severe myocarditis mimicking acute myocardial infarction may be fatal, and can be easily misdiagnosed. Careful analysis of clinical manifestations, early diagnostic angiography and possible IABP placement are important for the successful treatment.
