Objective To summarize the experience of heart-lung transplantation.Methods Four patients with Eisenmenger’s syndrome underwent heart-lung homoplastic transplantation. All patients were complicated with severe pulmonary hypertension in New York Heart Association ( NYHA ) functional class IV. Cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass consisted of a cannula in the high ascending aorta and separate vena caval cannulas. The heart-lung graft was moved into the chest, beginning with passage of the lung before the phrenic nerve pedicle. The bronchus was trimmed, leaving two cartilaginous rings proximal to the orifice of the upper lobe. The tracheal anastomosis was performed with a continuous 4-0 polypropylene suture, with the posterior portion continuously and anterior interrupted. The lungs were then ventilated (

Objective To develop a remover of formaldehyde in indoor air. Methods Activated carbon was used as the raw materials, potassium hydroxide as the activator. The activated carbon was modified through activation and impregnation. The influence factors for the formaldehyde adsorption property of activated carbons were evaluated, such as the size, activation temperature, activation time and impregnation time. Results The optimum technics conditions for developing the formaldehyde remover and the optimum conditions to absorb formaldehyde were confirmed. The mass adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was 49.6%, the BET surface area was about 1 591 m2/g and the total pore volume was 1.01 cm3/g. Conclusion The mass adsorption capacity of formaldehyde and the BET surface area of the modified activated carbon in the present paper are better than those of unmodified activated carbon.

45?,poor containment of femoral head,narrow joint space,and non-successive Shenton's line.Following Crowe classification,there were 5 cases(5 hips) of grade II,and 3 cases(3 hips) of grade III.Preoperative Harris hip score was 50 points(range,44-62 points).Total hip arthroplasty was employed in each patient.Prosthesis was fixed by Cementless or cemented modes.Cementless fixation was applied in 6 hips and cemented fixation in 2 hips.Cementless prosthesis was used on the affected side in each patient.Replacement time,bleeding volume during surgery,hospital days post-surgery,Harris scores,and peri-operative complications were recorded.Simultaneously,post-surgery healing was observed.All 8 cases were followed up for an average period of 6 months.All patients exhibited well recovered joint function.No infection,sciatic nerve injury,dislocation of hip joint,fracture of femoral shaft,thrombosis of deep veins,or prosthesis loosening were found in any follow-up case.Six months after surgery,Harris hip score was 88 points(range,86-94 points).Radiographs taken at 3 months post-surgery displayed the bone union of surgical region.All these findings suggest that acetabular medial wall displacement osteotomy in total hip arthroplasty produces obvious early-and middle-stage effects in treatment of hip dysplasia.

Objective:To screen for peptides that specifically bind to PreS1 antigen from a phage-displayed peptide library.Methods: The PreS1 antigen was used as the target molecule to screen the binding peptide from the Ph.D.-7 peptide library with phage display technique,and the positive clones were identified by ELISA.Results: After three rounds of biopanning,the binding peptides were screened from the peptide library by ELISA and competitive inhibiting ELISA.Sequencing result showed that the binding peptides had high affinity and specificity.Conclusion: A peptide binding PreS1 antigen has been successfully obtained by screening the phage display library,which paves a way for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis B infection.

The present study retrospectively analyzed 8 patients with hip dysplasia (8 hips) comprising 2 males and 6 females, aged 46 years old (range, 35-65 years old) who received treatment at the Department of Orthopedics, Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between September 2004 and November 2006. Preoperative radiographs and CT examination showed that all patients presented with sharp angle of affected hip > 45°, poor containment of femoral head, narrow joint space, and non-successive Shenton's line. Following Crowe classification, there were 5 cases (5 hips) of grade Ⅱ,and 3 cases (3 hips) of grade Ⅲ. Preoperative Harris hip score was 50 points (range, 44-62 points). Total hip arthroplasty was employed in each patient. Prosthesis was fixed by Cementless or cemented modes. Cementless fixation was applied in 6 hips and cemented fixation in 2 hips. Cementless prosthesis was used on the affected side in each patient. Replacement time, bleeding volume during surgery, hospital days post-surgery, Harris scores, and peri-operative complications were recorded.Simultaneously, post-surgery healing was observed. All 8 cases were followed up for an average period of 6 months. All patients exhibited well recovered joint function. No infection, sciatic nerve injury, dislocation of hip joint, fracture of femoral shaft, thrombosis of deep veins, or prosthesis loosening were found in any follow-up case. Six months after surgery, Harris hip score was 88 points (range, 86-94 points). Radiographs taken at 3 months post-surgery displayed the bone union of surgical region. All these findings suggest that acetabular medial wall displacement osteotomy in total hip arthroplasty produces obvious early- and middle-stage effects in treatment of hip dysplasia.

Objective To explore the application value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 F-FDG PET/CT) and 99Tcm-methylene diphosphonate (99 Tcm-MDP) bone scintigraphy for detecting bone destruction in multiple myeloma (MM).Methods 18 F-FDG PET/CT and 99Tcm-MDP bone scintigraphy results of 27 MM patients were analyzed retrospectively.Inspection areas checked by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray were the limited scopes.The location and number of bone destruction were recorded,and the maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was measured simultaneously.The results were comparatively analyzed.Diagnostic certainty regarding the presence or absence of bone destruction was evaluated according to the reference standard consisting of MRI and X-ray.Results A total of 235 lesions were found according to the reference standard.Of these,227 lesions (97％) were identified by 18F-FDG PET/CT,whereas 187 lesions (80％) were identified by bone scintigraphy,with a significant statistical difference (x2 =32.43,P ＜ 0.05).SUVmax was 8.3 ± 1.7 (4.3 to 18.9).The discovery rates of bone fracture of 18F-FDG PET/CT and bone scintigraphy were 100％ (97/97) and 90％ (87/97),and there was a significant statistical difference between them (x2 =78.09,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion 18 F-FDG PET/CT is a possible method to detect bone lesions in patients with MM,and is better than 99Tcm-MDP bone scintigraphy.
