International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(12):835-838
Increases in diagnostic frequency of breast ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS) have followed the introduction of mammographic screening in past years.It is very important to distinguish the clinical syndrome of DCIS.The management of surgery for DCIS includes mastectomy,lumpectomy plus radiotherapy and lumpectomy alone; axillary lymph node dissection(ALND) in DCIS has not been recommended and sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB) is still controversial; adjuvant radiotherapy for ipsilateral whole breast and endocrine treatment can reduce local recurrence,prevent second primary breast tumor,preclude regional and distant metastasis.But whatever we take towards the DCIS above,there is little disturbance to DCIS' s inherent prognosis.Doctors must pay enough attention to this point.

Objectives To investigate the image quality,influencing factors and radiation doses of prospectively ECG-triggered spiral acquisition mode (Flash spiral mode)coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) using high-pitch dual-source CT in patients with different heart rates.Methods One hundred and thirty-four consecutive patients with mean heart rate (HR) > 65 beats per minute (bpm) and ≤ 100 bpm were included in this study as group A using Flash spiral mode setting at 20% -30% of the R-R interval and 134 consecutive patients with mean HR ≤65 bpm were enrolled as group B using Flash spiral scan mode at 55% of the R-R interval; 134 consecutive patients with mean HR > 65 and≤100 bpm using spiral scan mode were included as group C. The image quality scores, effective radiation dose and influencing factors of image quality in three groups were assessed. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS.Results (1)The non-diagnostic coronary artery segments in group A (28/1842,1.52%) were more than in group B (8/1819,0.44% ) ( x2 =10.97,P =0.001 ) and there was no significant difference between group A and group C (32/1838,1.74%) ( x2 =0.280,P =0.345).The number of patients with non-diagnostic coronary segments in group A( 10/134,7.5 % )was more than in group B (2/134,1.5 %,x2 =5.52,P =0.018 ),while there was no significant difference between group A and group C (9/134,6.7%,x2 =0.057,P =0.812).(2)The average heart rate variability (HRV) of patients with different image scores in the three groups wcrc significantly different. In group A,the HRV of score 1,2 and 3 were (2.29 ± 1.06),(5.17 ± 1.37),(8.88 ± 1.53) bpm,respectively (F =170.402,P =0.001 ).In group B were (2.26±1.01),(5.97 ±1.82),(12.00 ±9.64) bpm,respectively (F=95.843,P=0.001).In group C were (2.61 ±1.85),(7.90 ±3.97),(11.22 ±5.62) bpm,respectively (F=68.629,P=0.001 ). (3) The average effective radiation doses in groups A and B were significant lower than in group C [ A group was 1.04 ± 0.16,B group was 1.03 ± 0.16 and C group was 7.05 ± 1.05,t =65.5 ( A vs C),P <0.01 ( A vs C) ].Conclusions Flash spiral mode of high-pitch dual-source provides high image quality with significant reduction of radiation exposure in patients with HR ≤ 65 bpm. Patients with heart rates >65 bpm and ≤100 bpm without cardiac arrhythmia can perform CCTA using Flash spiral mode with image acquisition time setting at 20%-30% of the R-R interval.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the impact of preoperative platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) on the prognosis in patients with operable colorectal cancer.
METHODSThe clinical data of 140 patients with operable colorectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively. According to preoperative PLR, the patients were divided into low PLR group (PLR<250) and high PLR group (PLR≥250). The overall 5-year survival rates and the clinicopathological factors in the two groups were analyzed using univariate analysis and COX regression model.
RESULTSThe patients with a high PLR had a significantly lower overall 5-year survival rate than those with a low PLR (71.4% vs 51.5%, P=0.045). Univariate analyses identified tumor location, the depth of tumor invasion, lymph nodes metastasis, TMN stage, and PLR as significant risk factors for reduced overall 5-year survival. In COX regression model, a high PLR was identified as an independent risk factor for poorer prognosis in patients with resectable colorectal cancer (RR: 2.213; 95%CI: 1.007-4.863, P=0.0048).
CONCLUSIONPreoperative PLR can be a clinically significant factor for assessment of prognosis of resectable colorectal cancer.

Hemorrhagic shock, a life-threatening organ hypoperfusion caused by rapid, massive blood loss, is the leading cause of traumatic death in peacetime and wartime. The vascular endothelial glycocalyx (vEG) plays an important role in maintaining microcirculatory homeostasis. Severe ischemia and hypoxia of hemorrhagic shock can damage the vEG, leading to endothelial dysfunction and exacerbated microcirculatory and organ impairments. Therefore, early prevention and treatment of vEG damage in hemorrhagic shock can improve microcirculation dysfunction, which is of paramount importance for therapeutic efficacies and outcomes. There have been many studies on the prevention and treatment of vEG damage in hemorrhagic shock, but none is based on the management of vEG damage. The authors reviewed the progress on the mechanism and preventive and therapeutic strategies of vEG damage caused by hemorrhagic shock, hoping to provide reference for the further research of hemorrhagic shock-induced vEG damage.

Objective:To evaluate the treatment of nonunion of lateral humeral condyle complicated with cubitus valgus with primary fixation in situ and secondary supracondylar varus osteotomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made of the 8 children who had been treated for nonunion of lateral humeral condyle complicated with cubitus valgus at Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, Honghui Hospital from January 2016 to March 2018. They were 5 boys and 3 girls with 5 left and 3 right sides involved. Their age at injury ranged from 6 to 14 years (average, 10 years) and the duration from injury to operation from 2 to 6 years (average, 4 years). At the primary stage, the fragments were fixated in situ with compressive cannulated screws after cleaning the nonunion ends, followed by iliac autograft. At the secondary stage, the humeral supracondylar varus osteotomy was performed after the nonunion was healed and the elbow range of motion recovered. The therapeutic effects were assessed by comparing the elbow range of motion, carrying angle and Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) between preoperation and the final follow-up.Results:All the patients were followed up for an average of 44.5 months (range, from 27 to 64 months). The average healing time for obsolete nonunion of lateral humeral condyle was 81.3 days (range, from 55 to 120 days) after the primary operation and that for supracondylar varus osteotomy 51.1 days (range, from 45 to 60 days) after the secondary operation. The elbow range of motion was 129.0°±4.6° before operation and 138.0°±5.4° at the final follow-up, showing a significant difference ( P<0.001). The average carrying angle at the healthy side in 8 children was 5.4° (range, from 3° to 8°). The carrying angle at the affected side was 31.9°±4.7° (range, from 25° to 42°) before operation and 4.0°±2.2°(range, from 1° to 8°) at the final follow-up, showing a significant difference ( P<0.05). Their preoperative MEPS was 57.5 ± 6.5 (4 good cases and 4 poor ones) but 95.9±3.4 (6 excellent cases and 2 good ones) at the final follow-up, showing a significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Treatment of nonunion of lateral humeral condyle complicated with cubitus valgus can be effectively carried out by cleaning fibrous tissue in the nonunion gap, iliac autograft and fragments fixation in situ with compressive cannulated screws at the primary stage and supracondylar varus osteotomy at the secondary stage. Intraoperative preservation of the blood supply to the nonunited fragments is the key to successful management.
