Objective To summarize the experience of the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hamartoma.Methods Bronchoscopic enucleation of tumor was conducted in 1 case of endobrochial hamartoma, while video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed in 42 cases(consisting of 40 cases of pulmonary wedge resection,1 case of lobectomy,and 1 case of bilateral lesion biopsy).Results Pathological examinations revealed hamartoma in all the 43 cases,including 1 case of multiple lesions and 1 case of hamartoma complicated with lung cancer.The diagnostic accordance rate was 11.6%(5/43).Follow-up in 37 cases for 4 months~ 11 years(mean,41.2 months) showed no recurrence or malignant change.Conclusions Pulmonary hamartoma is difficult to be confirmatively diagnosed preoperatively.Endoscopic operations can give an accurate diagnosis and a thorough removal of the lesion,with minimal invasion and rapid recovery.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,surgical treatment and outcome for patients with duodenal stromal tumor.Methods Data of 40 patients with stromal tumor of duodenum were reviewed retrospectively.Results All patients received resection including local resection in 14 cases,segmental resection of the duodenum in 17 cases,and pancreaticoduodenectomy in 9 cases.38 cases were followed-up,and two were lost.The median follow-up was 59 months (range 3-240 mos).The 1,3,and 5-year overall survival rates were 92%,76% and 68%,respectively.No recurrence was found in very-low-risk tumor (n =1) and low-risk turmors (n =4).The 1,3,and 5-year overall survival rates for intermediate-risk tumors were 95%,80% and 70%,respectively;and those were 69 %,31%,and 0 for high-risk tumors,respectively.14 of 33 cases (42%) suffered from recurrence after radical resection for intermediate or high-risk tumors.33 postoperative cases received treatment with Imatinib (Glivec) for more than one year,and one case developed recurrence at 2.5 years after operation.4 patients with synchronous liver metastasis received palliative resection and Imatinib,and two survived more than 1 year.Conclusion Surgery is the first choice for duodenal stromal tumor,and Imatinib should be administered for high-risk disease after surgery.

Clinical data of 4 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who underwent allogenic single-lung transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. All cases received corpse donor lungs. One case with diffuse emphysema underwent right lung transplantation. and 3 received left lung transplantation. including one underwent fight lung volume reduction during surgery and 2 cases underwent right lung volume reduction post-transplantation. The inductive treatment with daclizumab or antithymocyte globulin was done and the rejection was prevented with Tacrolimus. mycophenolate and prednisone. The surgery was successfulin 4 cases. One case developed acute rejection on the fifth day post-transplantation. and controlled using methylprednisolone. Two cases discharged successfully, of whom one lived more than 2 years. Two cases died 74 days and 77 days after lung transplantation. respectively.

Objective To observe the regulatory effect of acupotomy lysis on SP level in spinal cord and tissues above spinal cord of rats with knee osteoarthritis.Methods 60 healthy SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,electro-acupuncture(EA)group,and acupotomy lysis(AL)group.Mix 4%papain solution with 0.3 mol/L cysteine solution in the ratio of 1∶1.After pausing for 0.5h,inject the mixture,20 μl each time,into the left knee joint cavities of rats in model,AL,and EA groups on the day of 1,4,7.After 4 weeks AL group was treated with acupotomy lysis and EA group with electro-acupuncture.Three weeks after treatment,take samples of spinal cord,midbrain,pituitary gland,thalamus,and hypothalamus from the swellings of rats'waists.Measure the content of SP therein separately.Results Compared with normal control group,there was a significant rise in the content of SP in spinal cord and the tissues above spinal cord of model group rats (P<0.05,P<0.01),and there was a significant rise in spinal cord,pituitary gland,thalamus and hypothalamus of EA group rats (P<0.05,P<0.01);in AL group,there was a significant rise in spinal cord,pituitary gland,thalamus,and there was no statistically difference in hypothalamus and midbrain.Compared with normal control group,there was a significant rise in spinal cord (P<0.05)and a significant decrease in the SP contents in hypothalamus(P<0.05,P<0.01)in EA group.There was no statistically difference between EA group and AL group except in hypothalamus(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupotomy lysis has positive functions in regulating SP content in centrum of rats with knee osteoarthritis,which helps easing pain.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of primary abdominal cocoon.Methods The clinical data of 16 cases of primary abdominal cocoon were reviewed and analyzed.Results Only in 2 cases in which correct preoperative diagnosis was estabished by CT scan.The other 14 cases were diagnosed during operation.Parts or all small intestines were covered with a layer of milky white dense fibrous thin membrane,formed mass-likely adhesion,and fibrous film attached to the mesenteric roots.Extensive adhesion existed in between intestines.The operation included lysis of peritoneal adhesion plus fibrous membrane excision in 14 cases,lysis of peritoneal adhesion plus fibrous membrane excision and segmental enterectomy in 2 cases,and in 2 cases appendectomy was done.There was no anastomotic leakage or other major complications except for wound infection in 1 case.All the patients were followed up from 3 months to 7 years with a median follow-up time of 3.6 years,and no recurrent cases were found.Conclusions Surgery is the main method for the treatment of abdominal cocoon with evident clinical symptoms,and the prognosis is largely fair.

Objective:A novel bile duct end-to-end anastomosis and percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) were designed to treat iatrogenic bile duct injuries, and the clinical efficacy and technical advantage of this combined treatment were analyzed.Methods:Clinical data from 11 patients with iatrogenic bile duct injuries treated between February 2012 to July 2021 was retrospectively analyzed. There were 4 females and 7 males, with age of (47.5±15.3) years old. The types of bile duct injuries were: Bismuth type 1 ( n=7), Bismuth type Ⅱ ( n=1), Bismuth type Ⅲ type ( n=1), combined Bismuth type 1 and type 2 ( n=1), and Bismuth type Ⅳ ( n=1). Repair operations were performed at the time of the initial surgical procedures in 8 patients. The remaining 3 patients had their repair done 2 days, 9 days and 5 months, respectively, after the initial operations. All patients underwent successful bile duct end-to-end anastomosis and PTCD without use of T-tubes. Results:All biliary injuries were successfully repaired with no operative mortalities. Two patients who underwent end-to-end anastomosis of common hepatic duct developed anastomotic bile leakage. The amount of bile leakage was small and bile leakage resolved with conservative treatment in 1 patients 3 days after surgery, and was treated successfully by percutaneous peritoneal drainage for 2 weeks in the other patient. There were no other complications, including stricture formation or cholangitis which developed in other patients. All patients’ liver functions recovered well. The percutaneous biliary drainage tube was removed 6 months after operation in 1 patient. The remaining patients had their drainage tubes removed 3 months after operation. On follow-up, all patients had no history suggestive of cholangitis, jaundice and other symptoms. The liver functions were normal on laboratory examinations. No stricture or dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts were detected on imaging examinations. The cure rate was 100% (11/11).Conclusion:Surgical repair of biliary tract injuries should aim to preserve sphincter of Oddi function and maintain normal physiological pathway of bile excretion. PTCD helped smooth recovery of an end-to-end anastomosis, lowered severity of physical disability of patients and minimized occurrence of medical disputes.
