Objective To explore the dynamic changes and clinical significance of relative pituitary hormones in children after craniocerebral injury.Methods The quantitative analysis and dynamic observation were performed in 125 children after craniocerebral injury and 20 voluntary healthy children of relative pituitary hormones including serum prolactin(PRL),cortisol(PTC),three free triiodothyronine (FT3),free thyroxine (FT4),thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),growth hormone (GH) by applying electrochemical luminescence method.Tbe hormone variational characteristics were analyzed according to posttraumatic time,Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS) scores on admission and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores on discharge,and the relationship between hormone variational characteristics of 58 cases was followed up over 2 years and the activities of daily living (ADL) were also investigated.Results The serum PRL was significantly increased on the first,third and fifth day compared with the healthy control group (P =0.000 0,0.000 0,0.006 7),respectively.There was significant difference between mild,moderate and severe groups within 30 days after suffering from craniocerebral injury (P ＜ 0.05).PTC was heavily increased within 3 days,and significant difference existed among mild and moderate groups mild and severe groups (all P ＜ 0.05) ; TSH,FT3,FT4 decreased slightly after injury and gradually rose in later;GH change wasn't significant;and the larger variation of relative pituitary hormones was responsible for lower GCS scores;FT3,FT4,TSH,and GH decreased in different degrees,which were found in parts of children with craniocerebral injury,and the significant difference of serum PRL existed between GOS scores 4-5 and GOS scores 1-3 groups (P =0.000 1).Conclusions The changes of relative pituitary hormones were associated with the posttraumatic time and the severity of craniocerebral injury.The PRL in serum can aid in prediction of outcome for the children with craniocerebral injury.

Intracranial pressure fluctuates due to heart beat, respiration, neuro-regulation, etc. Traditional intracranial pressure study focuses on the static pressure and related factors, putting emphasis on mean intracranial pressure, while paying little attention to the pulse components. This study was composed of two parts: animal experiment and theoretical analysis. The animal experiment was performed on 14 mongrel dogs, studying the variation of intracranial pressure wave form under different intracranial pressure level. The dogs were installed epidurally with latex sacculus to establish models of increased intracranial pressure. The degree of intracranial pressure and volume could be altered by changing the volume of fluid in the sacculus. During the process, pressure transducers were arranged to monitor and record the variations of the pressure of intracranial ventricle and lumbar subarachnoid cavity. The result demonstrated that, with the continual increase of intracranial pressure, intracranial pulse pressure increased correspondingly, showing a linear relationship with the change of intracranial pressure. After the sacculus was emptied and reinfused, the slope of the linear relationship was determined to be greater than the former slope. The same result was obtained in the lumbar cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Therefore, the lumbar cerebrospinal fluid pressure is consistent with the intracranial pressure. Intracranial pulse pressure is in linear relationship with mean pressure, and the slope of their linear relationship predicts the perform of intracranial autoregulation.

Objective To design a patient-specific distal femoral cutting guide for total knee arthroplasty using rapid prototyping and 3D printing technology and compare with conventional instrumentation.Methods A prospective self-control study was performed in 32 patients who underwent bilateral total knee arthroplasty between March 2015 and November 2015 in our department.The bilateral knee joints were randomly divided into patient-specific guide group and traditional surgery group.The patient-specific guide group obtained CT data of the lower extremities preoperatively.Patient-specific distal femoral cutting guides were designed and manufactured using rapid prototyping and 3D printing techniques.The traditional surgery group were performed using conventional instrumentation.The operation time of the two groups was recorded,and the amount of distal femoral osteotomy was measured.Postoperative alignments were measured including the angle of the lower limb mechanical axis angle (hipknee-ankle Angle,HKA),the mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA),and the mechanical proximal tibial angle (mMPTA).In different follow-up points Hospital for Specific Surgery scores of the knee were recorded.Results In the coronal position,the postoperative mLDFA was 90.34°± 1.6° in the patient-specific guide group and 91.37°± 1.8° in the conventional surgery group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-2.452,P=0.020).In the patient-specific guide group,the HKA angle was 0.36°±2.35°,and the conventional surgery group was 0.87°±1.85°.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-2.332,P=0.043).If preoperative mLDFA≤93°,there was no significant difference in postoperative mLDFA between the two groups (t=-1.409,P ＞ 0.05).If preoperative mLDFA ＞ 93°,there was a significant difference in postoperative mLDFA between the two groups (t=-4.145,P=0.004).In addition,the operation time of the patient-specific guide group was significantly shorter (t=-2.425,P ＜ 0.05),but the two groups did not have significant functional differences in the early postoperative period.Conclusion The 3D-printed patient-specific distal femoral cutting guide can significantly shorten the operation time and improve postoperative alignments.It is simple to operate.However,large sample sizes and long-term follow-up studies are still needed to verify their long-term effects.

OBJECTIVETo sum up the clinical experience of liver transplantation.

METHODA retrospective study was made in 11 patients receiving living donor liver transplantation (LDLT)/and 14 patients having orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), including one time operation of reduced size liver retransplantation and one time operation of cadaveric liver retransplantation.

RESULTSThe voluntary donors were a sister and 10 mothers of recipients. The location of graft included 3 patients of segment II, III, part of IV (not including intermediate hepatic veins), 6 patients of segment II, III, IV (including intermediate hepatic veins), and 2 patients of V, VI, VII, VIII (not including intermediate hepatic veins). The weight range of graft was 270 - 620 g. Twenty-four recipients achieved a long-term survival and retained normal liver function during the follow-up. Only 1 patient died from serious rejection on the 72nd day postoperatively. Ten patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis were treated with lamivudine and anti-HBVIg, and HBV-DNA in serum was negative during the follow-up for 4 approximately 21 months. Copperoxidase, ceruloplasmin and main indexes of liver function became normal in all patients with Wilson's Disease. Postoperative complications included abdominal hemorrhage (2 patients), acute respiratory distress syndrome (5), acute rejection (4), and acute renal function failure (2).

CONCLUSIONSThe wise solution to improve the result of liver transplantation and optimize liver resources is the "multimodal approach", by which all kinds of techniques for liver transplantation including CLT, LDLT and RSLT should well developed.
