Objective To study the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of colorectal malignant melanoma.Methods Six cases of colorectal malignant melanoma diagnosed and treated in our department between 1981 and 1996 were reviewed and underwent follow-up.Results All cases had masses that could be found near dentate line in digital examination and were black or brown in color. All patients underwent operations ,operations abdomino-perineal resection for 2 cases, post pelvic excision for 2 cases, enlarged local resection for 1 case and laporotomy for 1 case.Either lymph node metastasis or liver metastasis were found prior to or during operation. All patients died within 5～23 months after being diagnosed, with average survival time of 14.7 months.Conclusions Colorectal malignant melanoma was rare and was highly of malignant with tendency of early metastasis and poor prognosis. Radical surgery combined with chemotherapy, immunotherapy and biotherapy may be effective.

Objective To explore the etiology of pulmonary atelectasis and explore the value of fiberoptic bronchoscope in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary atelectasis.Methods 192 cases of pulmonary atelectasis confirmed by thoracic X-ray and CT were examined and treated under fiberoptic bronchoscope.Results The final cause of 192 cases pulmonary atelectasis was lung cancer in 122 cases,chronic inflammation in 35 cases,tuberculosis in 24 cases,foreign body in 3 cases,blood clot obstruction in 3 cases,no clear causes in 5 cases;97.4% of pulmonary atelectasis were diagnosed.The treatment of pulmonary atelectasis caused by tumor obstruction was ineffective under fiberoptic bronchoscope;Then for others,atelectasis of patients was re-expanded completely in 65.7% after treatment one week under fiberoptic bronchoscope,re-expanded partially in 27.1% and the effective rate was 92.8%.Conclusion The rate of etiologic diagnosis of pulmonary atelectasis under fiberoptic bronchoscope is high;The main causes of pulmonary atelectasis are lung cancer,chronic inflammation and tuberculosis.The pulmonary atelectasis with no clear cause should be examined with fiberoptic bronchoscope.The treatment under fiberoptic bronchscope is effective for non-tumor atelectasis.

Objective To study effect of Xuebijing injection on coagulation function and prevention of deep venous thrombosis in elderly fracture patients with mechanical ventilation.Methods 60 patients were randomly divided into control group(30 cases) and Xuebijing group(30 cases).Xuebijing group received Xuebijing injection, besides physical therapy for prevention of deep venous thrombosis received by control group.Coagulation parameters and Lac at different time points,thrombosis incidence,hemorrhage incidence APACHE II score and 28 -day mortality were compared between the two groups.Results In Xuebijing group,PT,APTT,DD on d3 and Fg 48 on d5 had statistically significant differences compared with before treatment.PT,APTT on d3,d5 and DD on d5 were statistical-ly different compared with the control group(P <0.05).PLT,Lac,hemorrhage incidence and 28 -day mortality had no significant differences between the two groups.Thrombosis incidence in Xuebijing group was significantly lower than the control group(20.00% vs 3.33%) (χ2 =4.043,P =0.044,P <0.05).Both of APACHE II score were lower than before treatment,but the Xuebijing group was significantly decreased(t =5.48,P =0.000,P <0.05). Conclusion Xuebijing injection could improve coagulation function,and decrease thrombosis incidence in elderly fracture patients with mechanical ventilation.

Objective: To study the association of dopamine ?-hydroxylase gene 5′ flanking region polymorphism -1021 C→T with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Han children. Methods: ADHD was diagnosed according to the DSM-Ⅳ criteria . DNA was extracted and PCR was performed to examine the DBH-1021C→T polymorphism. HHRR was used to test the association of dopamine ?-hydroxylase gene with different subtypes of ADHD. Results: HHRR results showed this polymorphism had a tendency to be associated with the inattention subtype (P=0.067) and the combined subtype (P=0.076). The T allele was the protective factor of the inattentive subtype (P= 0.07), and the risk factor of the combined subtype (P=0.08). After dividing the 292 nuclear families according to sex, DBH-1021C→T polymorphism was found to be associated with the combined subtype (P=0.04) with the T allele as the risk factor (P=0.02). There were no positive findings among the girl nuclear families of ADHD. Conclusion: DBH gene is related to ADHD combined subtype and inattention subtype. The genetic basis of ADHD combined subtype and is inattention is different, and is influenced by sex factor.

Objective To investigate the effect of sustentaculum tali screw placement on outcomes following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of intraarticular calcaneal fractures.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 139 patients with intraarticular calcaneal fractures treated by ORIF from April 2008 to January 2012.According to Sanders classification,there were 9 patients with type Ⅱ fractures,87 with type Ⅲ fractures and 43 with type Ⅳ fractures.Fracture reduction followed by placement of calcaneal anatomic plate or anatomic locking plate was performed via calcaneal lateral L-shape incision.All the patients received X-rays and CT scans within postoperative 2 weeks.Placement of screws in sustentaculum tail was detected by CT volume rendering to visualize implants combined with multiplanar reconstruction imaging (MPR).Patients were divided into accurate fixation group (Group A,n =28),marginal fixation group (Group B,n =58),and non-fixation group (Group C,n =53) based on radiological results.Intra-and peri-operative parameters,time to partial weight-bearing,time to full weight-bearing,fracture healing time,and clinical outcome were compared among groups.Functional outcome was assessed using American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle Hindfoot Scale.Results Postoperative X-rays indicated accurate fixation of sustentaculum tail in 64 patients,marginal fixation in 22,and non-fixation in 53,but CT images manifested accurate fixation in 28 patients,marginal fixation in 58,and non-fixation in 53.Group A had operation duration of (93 ±11) min and intraoperative blood loss of (252 ± 27) ml,longer or higher than those in Group B [(85 ±8) min,(194±16) ml] and Group C [(57±6) min,(136 ±13) ml] (P＜O.05).There was no significant difference in mean hospital stay among the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).Ninety-two patients were followed-up for 12-38 months (mean 18.5 months) and 85 patients completed foot and ankle exercise as planned.Moreover,no significant differences were observed among groups concerning time to partial and full weight-bearing,fracture healing time and AOFAS score at the final follow-up (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Sustentaculum tali screw placement has no apparent effect on the short-term outcome of surgical treatment for calcaneal fractures.

Objective To establish a way to measure the injury severity of articular surface due to posterior malleolus fracture and investigate its clinical significance based on three-dimensional reconstruction technique.Methods Between May 2009 and March 2014,138 cases of peri-ankle injury combined with posterior malleolus fracture were treated.Lateral radiographs were reviewed to measure the ratio of posterior fragment area to distal tibial plafond area using the common method.Three-dimensional CT images were examined to measure ratio of the area of injury using the three-dimensional measuring method.Statistical comparison was made using the t-test and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).Results Measurement failed on 33 lateral radiographs and 13 three-dimensional CT images.Six cases cannot be measured by both imaging technology,so results of 98 cases were compared.Ratio of posterior fragment area to tibial plafond area was (16.2 ± 7.2) ％ measured by radiographs and was (29.6 ±10.1) ％ by three-dimensional CT scans (P ＜ 0.05).Three-dimensional CT measurements showed higher intra and inter-observer agreement (ICC of 0.973 to 0.942) than that in radiographic measurements (ICC of 0.875 to 0.860).Conclusion Three-dimension CT assessment of the extent of injury to articular surface because of posterior malleolus fracture is reliable and reproducible,but radiographic assessment may underestimate the injury and influence the choice of surgical indications.

Objective:To explore the prevalence rate of suicidal ideation and its risk and protective factors in military personnel.Methods:A total of 2071 military personnel were investigated by stratified random cluster sampling in May to August of 2015.The Question 7 of Beck Depression Scale (BDI) was used to test suicide ideation (item 7 score ≥ 1 was dovetailed in suicide ideation group).Family,social demographic and occupational factors were assessed with the self-made general characteristics questionnaire.The data were analyzed with multiple stepwise logistic regression.Results:There were 382 (18.4％) military personnel whose scores of item 7 were ≥1.Family history of suicide (OR =42.97,95％ CI =29.14-63.35),surrounding suicide (OR =2.46,95％ CI =1.75-3.46),drinking (OR =1.64,95％ CI =1.31-2.07) and level of education (OR =1.38,95％ CI =1.01-1.90) were risk factors of suicidal ideation.Protective factors were (OR =0.60,95％ CI =0.50-0.72) and station (OR =0.15,95％ CI =0.03-0.64).Conclusion:It suggests that in suicidal prevention for military,more attention is deserved paying to those military personnel who have family history of suicide,surrounding suicide,drinking habit,and are stationed in remote areas and air force.

Objective To investigate the three-dimensional morphological characteristics of tibial plateau based on CT image post-processing technique and analyze its significance in preoperative planning of tibial plateau fractures.Methods Multi-slice spiral CT data of 98 humans (56 males and 42 females) with normal tibial plateau and 30 patients (15 males and 15 females) with tibial plateau fractures were extracted.Morphological measurements of the tibial plateau were achieved by means of a three-dimensional measurement method based on points,lines and surfaces.Differences in threedimensional parameters between genders in normal tibial plateau and differences between normal tibial plateau and tibial plateau fractures were analyzed.Results Differences of males and females were significant in width of tibial plateau [(73.2 ± 3.7) mm,(65.5 ± 3.7) mm],anteroposterior dimension of medial tibial plateau [(39.8 ± 3.5) mm,(34.8 ± 2.6) mm] and anteroposterior dimension of lateral tibial plateau [(34.0 ± 3.3) mm,(29.8 ± 3 5) mm] (P ＜ 0.05),but not in varus inclination of tibial plateau [(3.19 ± 1.98) °,(3.16 ± 1.89) °],medial plateau posterior slope [(7.31 ± 3.04) °,(8.16 ± 2.46)°] and lateral plateau posterior slope [(5.23 ±2.35)°,(5.60 ±2.55)°] (P ＞0.05).Above parameters in three-dimensional morphological measurements of tibibial plateau fractures varied compared to the normal reference value (P ＜ 0.05).Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for intra-observe and inter-observer agreement in normal tibial plateau measurement was excellent.Conclusions Present research provides a series of scientific and objective data for preoperative planning of tibial plateau fractures.Measurements of tibial plateau can assist the evaluation of reduction of tibial plateau fractures.

Objective To provide references for anatomical reduction and correct implantation in treatment of distal fibular fracture by analyzing morphological characteristics of distal fibula on three-dimensional (3D) modes.Methods 16-row spiral CT scans of 126 normal ankle structures from May 2009 to June 2014 were collected.Surface shaded display technique was used to reconstruct 3-D images of bones around the ankle.The distal fibula was extracted using 3D segmentation technique.The parameters of distal fibula were measured by selecting points,lines and surfaces on the 3D models.Results The morphological characteristics of distal fibula were complicated.Significant differences were observed between males and females in most parameters (P ＜ 0.05),but not in the length between the plane of the most lateral point of the tibial anterior node and the most distal point of the fibula,the length between the midpoint of lateral border of the fibula and its opposite cortex on the plane of the most proximal border of the fibular fossa or the mean angle of posterior crest of the fibula (P ＞ 0.05).The intra and interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were excellent.Conclusions When a lateral plate is used for internal fixation of distal fibula,the plate should be placed as proximally as possible.When a posterior-lateral plate is used,the screws to be inserted on the plane proximal to the initial point of anterior node of the tibia can be fixed bi-cortically.When a posterior plate is used,pre-contour of the plate before insertion is required.

Objective To evaluate the long-term functional outcome after ileal pouch anal anastomosis with modified double-stapled technique.Methods From January 2002 to March 2011,forty-five patients underwent ileal pouch anal anastomosis with modified double-stapled technique.The clinical data of these patients were reviewed.The postoperative anal function was assessed by Kirwan classification and Oresland pouch-specific function score.Results During the median follow-up of 65 months,2 patients with malignant adenomatous polyps died,2 patients were diagnosed dysplasia by biopsy,4 patients developed mild to moderate anastomotic narrowing,1 patient developed persistent anastomotic stricture needing surgical intervention,16 patients developed at least 1 episode of pouchitis.There was no incontinence in these patients,and the median functional Oresland score was 6,3 and 2 after 1 year,2.5 years and 5 years respectively.Conclusion The functional results of ileal pouch anal anastomosis with modified double-stapled technique are promising,with no incontinence in our patients.
