ObjectiveTo identify the relevant factors of expansion of contusive cerebral hemorrhage following unilateral decompressive craniectomy in patients with severe craniocerebral injury and discuss their relation with prognosis.MethodsA total of 161 consecutive patients with craniocerebral injury undergoing unilateral decompressive craniectomy were prospectively studied.Their initial cranial CT data (data after injury,data before operation,and data after first operation) were recorded.Mortality or Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at 6 months after injury was used as the criteria for evaluation of prognosis.ResultsThe volume of increased contusive cerebral hemorrhage among the patients after craniectomy was (18.66 ± 22.69) ml.The Rotterdam score of their initial cranial CT after injury was significantly associated with the occurrence or not of expanded contusive cerebral hemorrhage following decompressive craniectomy and the expanded hematoma volume.The expanded volume of contusive cerebral hemorrhage ( ＞ 20 ml) after craniectomy showed significant relevance to mortality and poor prognosis six months later.The magnitude of external cerebral herniation ( ECH ) on the initial post-operative CT was associated with the prognosis. ConclusionsThe severity of patients with craniocerebral injury manifested by the initial cranial CT may predict the risk of expansion of contusive cerebral hemorrhage following decompressive craniectomy.The expansion volume of contusive cerebral hemorrhage and ECH are correlated with mortality and poor prognosis.

The changes of immunoreactive TRH (TRH-ir) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma before and after acute traumatic head injury were determined with radioimmunoassay (RIA) on a feline model of acute experimental head trauma. The results showed that the concentrations of TRH-ir in experimental animals pre- and 2, 4, and 6h post-injury were 119.48?51.77, 460.71 ?178.72, 377.27? 139.33, and 280.17?110.46pmol/L in CSF, and 122.58?28.87,1158.89?163.18, 909.69?160.55, and 545.38?132.80pmol/L in plasma, respectively, while those in control animals measured at the corresponding time were 112.22?53.42, 105.36?49.64, 100.63?52.89, and 104.52?52.42pmol/L in CSF, and 113.57 ?25.79, 107.32?26.60, 119.84?31.53, and 117.21?28.95pmol/L in plasma, respectively. The contents of TRH-ir in CSF and plasma in the experimental group after traumatic head injury were significantly higher than those, in the control group (P

The fetal spleen cells were transplanted following the injection of S180 carcinosarcoma into the muscle,abdominal cavity,peripheral veins and portal vein in mice.The size inhibitory rate of the transplanted tumor and natural killer activity were evaluated 30 and 60 days after the injection.It was found that the growth of transplanted tumor was dramatically inhibited and natural killer activity was increased 30 days after the transplantation.But 60 days after the transplantation only portal venous transplanted tumor showed a satisfactory function of inhibiting tumor growth and natural killer activity maintained at a high level.These results indicated that portal vein was the best approach for the spleen cell transplantation

To improve the AIDS's knowledge level and intervention ability of peer lecturers in college, from the accumulation idea and activity type of experience value on Moso Teach, the author carried out systematic resource construction around the course design principles and objectives, at the same time one quantitative scoring system including learning degree and sharing degree was constructed. Through voluntary enrollment and selection among the students, the first group of peer lecturer training on AIDS prevention were set up, and 28 students were collected to experience the "mixed" application of the course. After the evaluation, it was found that there were positive functions in promoting the ability of AIDS prevention in the peer lecturer training course based on experience value of Moso Teach as the driving force and quantification. According to the problems exposed in the construction, the author put forward improvement strategies from the aspects of scoring system, off-line activities and resource optimization.

Objective To evaluate the effciency of different embolic agents inducing the changes of the liver morphology and function in the selective portal vein embolization (PVE).Methods Forty five Spraque-Dawley rats were used in this experiment.Five were served as a control group and forty were randomly divided into 4 groups of 10 rats each.Right PVE was performed in each group by one of four different embolic agents respectively.Five rats from each group were sacrificed and dissected to inspect the morphological changes on 14th and 21st day after the procedure.The results of different groups were analyzed according to the weight ratios of the right lobe to the whole liver and the whole liver to the body,and the results were compared to each other and those of the control group using statistical Student“ t ”test. Results After the procedure,the embolized lobe was turned gray immediately with no significant differences between groups.Both on the 14th and 21st day after the procedure,the right lobe of the liver from the rats of group 1,2,3 were atrophied apparently with lots of spotty yellow scars in different sizes.There was no significant change of the embolized right lobe from group 4.By statistical analysis,the embolization using Lipiodol-ethanol 2∶1 mixture in group 2 resulted in better atrophy than group 1 ( P 0.05) and more than the gelfoam pieces ( P

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of different reconstructive alimentary canal for total gastrectomy.Methods: The patients were divided into P loop/Roux-en-Y and Distal antiperistaltic jejunal reservoir group.The nutritional status of these two groups was investigated.Results:The differences of body weight,hemoglobin,total albumin and albumin afer operation one year in P loop group were(52.5?3.8)kg,(98.0?6)g/L,(52.0?2)g/L,(28.0?3g)/L;meanwhile those in Distal group were(59.2?4.8)kg,(121.0?5)g/L,(62.0?4)g/L,(35.4?2)g/L.These differences between two groups were significant(P

0.05). The 1,3 and 5-year regional control and survival rates in both groups were concordant, demonstrating that the prognosis of these two groups was similar. The 5-year survival rate in pre-operative radiotherapy group was 37%. The results of retrospective analysis by Log-rank and Cox proportional regression methods demonstrated that whether the tumor resected or not were the major factors affecting pre-operative radiotherapy effect.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of placement of self expandable metallic stent within right atrium and inferior vena cava (ICV) in patients with malignant ICV obstruction involving right atrium. Methods There were 5 male patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, aged from 42 to 65 years (mean 56 3 years). The malignancies invaded right atrium and ICV simultaneously, and caused obstruction of ICV. These patients presented symptoms and signs of obstruction of ICV such as hepatomegaly, ascites, edema of lower extremities. “Z” type stainless steel stents (7 5～10.0 cm in length and 2 5 cm in diameter) were selected for these patients. Part (1.0～3.0 cm in length ) of stent was placed in right atrium and the rest was in ICV. Results All of stents were placed successfully and obstructed ICV reopened. The symptoms of obstruction of ICV relieved or disappeared. There were no recurrence of symptoms of obstruction of ICV and any cardiac complication related to placement of stents in follow up period (67～188 days). Conclusion Placement of self expandable metallic stent within right atrium and ICV in treatment of patients with malignant ICV obstruction involving right atrium is one of the safe and effective methods.

Objective To identify the factors enhancing the contusive brain hemorrhage following unilateral decompression craniectomy in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI),and to explore the relationship between the initial Rotterdam CT score and clinical outcomes.Methods A prospective study of 291 consecutive patients with TBI admitted from Jan 2008 through Dec 2012 was carried out.Patients treated with unilateral decompression craniectomy were enrolled for study.Patients without preoperative or postoperative cranial CT imaging were excluded.Of them,235 patients were followed up.Gender,age,the causes of injury,preoperative general condition including Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score,pupillary response,laboratory data and the initial CT scans before operation,contusion hematoma size in CT scans following operation and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score were recorded.With t test,x2 test and nonparametric rank sum test,differences in the above listed variables were compared between patients with enlarged hematoma size group and those without change in hematoma size.A Classification And Regression Tree (CART) was used to predict the size of hematoma.Correlation analysis was used to find the relationship between the Rotterdam CT scores and GOS scores.Results The differences in age (t =2.034,P =0.043),first Rotterdam CT score (Z =4.838,P ＜ 0.01),GCS score (Z =4.440,P ＜ 0.01),pupillary response (Z =3.235,P =0.001),the length of time elapsed between the trauma occurred and the decompressive craniectomy (Z =3.874,P ＜ 0.01),glucose level (Z =3.880,P ＜ 0.01) and cerebrum hernia magnitude (Z =2.529,P =0.012) were significant between the patients with hematoma expanded (n =120) and those without change in hematoma size (n =115).The results of the CART indicated that Rotterdam score got from the initial head CT,glucose level and the length of time elapsed between trauma occurred and decompressive craniectomy were strong predictors of the risk for expanded hemorrhagic contusions following decompressive craniectomy.Both age and size of the removed bone-flap also could predict the risk of postoperative expansion of hemorrhagic contusions.The overall predictive accuracy of the CART model was 83.3％.Correlation analysis results indicated that Rotterdam CT score was negatively correlated with GOS (r =-0.333,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Initial Rotterdam CT scores,glucose level and the length of time between trauma and decompressive craniectomy may predict the risk of contusions expansion following decompressive craniectomy.Rotterdam CT score was negatively correlated with GOS.

Objective To explore the operative approach, method,indication,and clinical feasibility of laparoscopic or retroperitoneoscopic treatment of ploycystic kidney.Methods The renal cyst unroofing(bilateral,9 cases;unilateral,4 cases) was performed under laparoscope(2 cases) or retroperitoneoscope(11 cases).The renal adipose capsule was dissected with a harmonic scalpel to fully visualize the whole kidney.According to preoperative positioning results,the cysts at all sizes were exposed.Then all visible cysts were unroofed or fenestrated with a margin 0.5 cm from the renal parenchyma.The cystic fluid was drawn out as much as possible.Results The operations were completed smoothly in the 13 cases.Pneumatothorax developed on the day of laparoscopic operation in 1 case,and then was cured by closed thoracic drainage.The operation time was 50～240 min(mean,139 min),and the blood loss was 10～200 ml(mean,58 ml).Patients began out-of-bed activities in 1～2 days after operation and were discharged from hospital at 3～10 days.The pathological findings were in accordance with changes of ploycystic kidney.Follow-up examinations were carried out for 1～30 months(mean,14.3 months).Back pain was relived in 8 out of 11 cases.In 3 patients with a high blood pressure,the systolic pressure was decreased by 16～19 mm Hg at 9 months after operation.Ten patients presented normal hepatic and renal functions,while the remaining 3 patients with preoperative increased creatinine levels of 194～301 ?mol/L had a drop by 20～40 ?mol/L.Conclusions Treatment of cyst unroofing under laparoscope or retroperitoneoscope is a safe and effective method in the treatment of ploycystic kidney,being worthy of clinical recommendation.
