BACKGROUND:The hidden blood loss, accounted for a fairly large proportion of perioperative blood loss in total hip replacement, can seriously affect the recovery of postoperative joint function, but the specific influential factors and mechanisms remain unknown at present. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the relative influential factors for hidden blood loss after primary total hip arthroplasty by the blood loss condition, and to analyze the association between hidden blood loss and prognosis. METHODS:Clinical data of 110 patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty in the Liuzhou Worker’s Hospital between April 2011 and April 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The hidden blood loss was calculated according to Ward and Gross formula. The effects of patient’s gender, age, body mass index, type of prosthesis, presence of internal diseases, and different causes of a disease on hidden blood loss after arthroplasty were analyzed. The patients were divided into the high blood loss group (≥ 480 mL) and the low blood loss group (<480 mL) according to the hidden blood loss. Al the patients were fol owed up for 1 year. The Harris hip score system was used to assess the recovery of hip joint function between the two groups. The correlation between hidden blood loss and the recovery of joint function was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation analysis RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The total blood loss of primary total hip arthroplasty was (1 340±367) mL, and the hidden blood loss was (748±324) mL, and the percentage of hidden blood loss was 53.7%. The type of prosthesis, presence of internal diseases, and different causes of a disease were significantly associated with hidden blood loss after total hip arthroplasty (P<0.05). Gender, age, body mass index, and operation time were not significantly associated with hidden blood loss after total hip arthroplasty (P>0.05). The hidden blood loss was correlated with postoperative functional recovery (P=0.046). Results indicated that type of prosthesis, presence of internal diseases, and different causes of a disease are main influential factors for hidden blood loss after total hip arthroplasty. The hidden blood loss has some influence on the recovery of postoperative joint function.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of combination of thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS) and enhanced flow (e-Flow) in the qualitative diagnosis of thyroid nodules; and to compare the diagnostic efficiency between e-Flow and color doppler flow imaging (CDFI. METHOD: The study chose 133 patients with 179 nodules (127 benign, 52 malignant nodules) who had per-operative ultrasound examination of their thyroid using grey-scale ultrasound, CDFI, e-Flow, and their noudles were graded by TI-RADS. Then the ultrasound diagnostic value were compared with their surgical pathology results by TI-RADS; TI-RADS and CDFI; TI-RADS and e-Flow, and diagnostic efficiency between e-Flow and CDFI were compared. RESULT: The results revealed that combination of TI-RADS and e-Flow had a higher sensitivity (94.23%, P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between TI-RADS and the combination of TI-RADS and CDFI. Likewise, there was no significant difference between the combination of TI-RADS and e-Flow and the combination of TI-RADS and CDFI. The e-Flow showed a higher sensitivity, specificity and accuracy compare to the CDFI. CONCLUSION Combining e-Flow and TI-RADS could improve the sensitivity in qualitative diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Also, e-Flow has a better diagnostic efficiency of thyroid nodules.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy, advantages and shortcomings of micro-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treatment of uncomplicated ureteral calculi.Methods Clinical data were collected from 126 patients with a failure treatment of history by ESWL (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) and RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery) in treatment of upper ureteral calculi (< 3.0 cm) from June 2015 to May 2016. Antegrade percutaneous access was obtained by B-type ultrasound guidance. Micro-PCNL was done using YAG laser fiber or pneumatic through the ureteroscope (F4.5~F6.5、F6.0~F7.5, 315 mm) to disintegrate the stones. The calculi clearance rate, operation time, operative hemorrhage, length of hospital stay and complications of the patients were analyzed after operation.ResultsThe calculi clearance rate was 88.9%, the operation time was 15~75 min, the operative hemorrhage was 15~35 ml, the length of hospital stay was 5~10 d. Only one patient need the second stage surgery because of intraoperative hemorrhage affected the surgical ifeld. No patients occurred massive hemorrhage, pneumothorax, bowel and other complications such as organ damage.Conclusion Micro-PCNL had a good clinical curative effect and security in treatment of uncomplicated ureteral calculi, which was worthy of promoting clinically.

Background and purpose:Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is an extremely rare, vascularly original tumor, and would be misdiagnosed easily in the clinical and imaging characteristics. This study aimed to investigate the imaging features of HEHE and our experience in clinical diagnosis and treatment, and to provide important reference for the diagnosis and treatment of HEHE in the future.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed clinical manifestations, imaging features, pathological characteristics and treatment effects of 5 HEHE cases confirmed by pathology at Department of Integrative Cancer, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.Results:The ratio of male to female patients was 2 to 3. HEHE predominantly occurred in middle-aged female patients whose ages range from 26 to 65 (mean=45.6). Imaging features of HEHE included multifocal hepatic disease (n=2), systemic multi-center multi-tissue occurrence (n=3). The ultrasound images showed isoechoic or hypoechoic lesions with no obvious blood lfow signal in the lesions. CT plain scan showed isointensity or hypointensity, while MR unenhanced with hypointense T1 signal and hyperintense T2 signal. The density or signal was uneven. Contrast-enhanced CT and MR images showed “slow in slow out”, obvious and variable degrees of peripheral rim enhancement. High FDG uptake showed delayed imaging characteristics (PET/CT). DSA angiography showed the tumor blood vessels were slim. After transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) surgery, lipiodol deposition within the lesion was not ideal. Under the microscope, tumor cells showed epithelial differentiation; angiogenesis was also visible. Immunohistochemistry staining showed CD31 and CD34 positive in all the 5 cases. Two cases treated with TACE combined with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and/or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) had good result.Conclusion:The clinical and radio-logical characteristics of HEHE are distinctive. Currently, for patients with systemic multi-organizational multi-center lesions, TACE combined with HIFU and/or RFA might be the most effective treatment method.
