BACKGROUND:Bone cement solidification can improve the stability, strength and mechanical support of fractured vertebrae. However, there are few studies on the effect of bone cement dispersion within the fracture line on percutaneous vertebroplasty. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect of bone cement dispersion within the fracture line of thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures on percutaneous vertebroplasty. METHODS:Totaly 90 patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were enroled, 53-80 years old, including 42 males and 48 females. Al these patients underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty with bone cement injection, and divided into two groups according to bone cement dispersion conditions: study group with good bone cement dispersion (n=60) and control group with poor bone cement dispersion (n=30). Visual analogue scale scores, Oswestry dysfunction index, Cobb's angle and adverse reactions were recordedbefore and after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no differences in the visual analogue scale score and Oswestry dysfunction index between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). The visual analogue scale scores were significantly lower in the study group than the control group at 3 days after treatment and at the last folow-up (P < 0.05); the Oswestry dysfunction index and Cobb's angle were also lower in the study group than the control group at 3 days after treatment (P < 0.05). However, no difference was found in the Oswestry dysfunction index, Cobb's angle and bone cement leakage between the two groups at the last folow-up. These findings indicate that the percutaneous vertebroplasty show better effects on pain relief in patients with good bone cement dispersion that those with poor bone cement dispersion, and the vertebral stability is better as wel as the short-term effect is more obvious.

Objective To explore the optimum sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping method in gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of 59 patients who were confirmed with gastric cancer at Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command from January 2004 to August 2008 were retrospectively analysed. Patent blue V dye was used in 20 patients (group A), technetium-99m sulfur colloid was used in 20 patients (group B),and a combination of patent blue V dye and technetium-99m sulfur colloid were used in 19 patients (group C).The number of SLNs detected, and accuracy and false-negative rate of SLNs in diagnosing regional lymph node metastasis were analysed by t test and chi-square test. Results The numbers of SLNs detected in groups A, B and C were 38 (1.9 per case), 31 (1.6 per case) and 56 (2.9 per case), respectively. In group C, 46 SLNs were screened out by patent blue V dye and technetium-99m sulfur colloid simultaneously, six SLNs were only detected by patent blue V dye and four only by technetium-99m sulfur colloid. There was a significant difference in the number of SLNs detected among the three groups (t = 4.35, P < 0. 05 ). The number of SLNs detected in group C was significantly greater than that in groups A and B (t = 4. 21, 3. 54, P < 0.05 ). The accuracy and false-negative rate of SLNs in diagnosing regional lymph node metastasis were 95% (19/20) and 5% (1/20) in group A, 90% (18/20) and 10% (2/20) in group B, and 100% (19/19) and 0 in group C. The accuracy was significantly higher (x2 = 163.01, P < 0.05) and the false-negative rate was significantly lower in group C compared with those in groups A and B (x2 = 170. 14, P < 0. 05). Conclusion A combination of dye and radioactive tracer is a favorable method for detecting SLNs in gastric cancer.

Objective To summarize our experiences in the diagnosis and prognosis of different subtypes of primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL). Methods The clinical data of 27 PTL patients who were treated in our hospital from January 1998 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The pathological types of these patients included B cell lymphoma unclassifiable (BCLU) (n=5),mucosa-associated lymphiod tissue lymphoma (MALT) (n=9),diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (n=12),and T cell lymphoma (n=1). Results Of all these 27 cases,the most common clinical symptom was painless swelling of the neck (n=21,77.8%). Of 7 patients who had received preoperative fine needle biopsy,lymphoma was suspected in 2 cases (28.6%). Among these 7 cases,the positive rate of suspicious lymphoma was 66.7% in 3 DLBCL patients,0 in 3 MALT patients,and 0 in 1 BCLU paitent. Also,25 patients underwent intraoperative frozen pathological examination,which revealed lymphoma or suspicious lymphoma in 16 cases (64.0%); in these patients,the positive rate was 66.7% for BCLU,77.8% for MALT,58.3% for DLBCL,and 0 for T-cell lymphomas. The overall survival was (89.3±12.4) months,and the overall 5-year survival rate was 61.6%. The estimated survival in symptomatic group was 31.6 months,which was significantly shorter than that in asymptomatic group (97.9 months) (P=0.032). Other factors including age,sex,tumor size,tumor stage,international prognostic index,tracheal compression,lactate dehydrogenase,residual tumor,and pathological type showed no significant effect on survival(all P>0.05). Conclusions DLBCL has the highest fine needle biopsy positive rate,MALT has the highest frozen pathological positive rate,and intraoperative frozen pathology has more malignant results than the preoperative fine needle biopsy in the diagnosis. The accompanying lymphoma symptoms may be an adverse prognostic factor.

Background and purpose:Pathological lymph node metastasis (LNM) is not rare in clinical lymph node negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors of LNM, especially of high volume LNM (more than 5 metastatic lymph nodes) and contralateral central compartment LNM, in cN0 PTC.Methods:Medical records of 350 PTC patients (265 female, 85 male, 212 patients with solitary lesion in unilateral lobe) were reviewed. All operations of these patients were performed by one surgical team. The clinical pathological data were collected, and univariate and multivariate analysis was performed.Results:LNM was conifrmed in 138 patients (39.4%) and 20 patients had high volume LNM. In 169 patients with solitary lesion in unilateral lobe with total thyroidectomy and bilateral central neck dissection, 24 patients had contralateral metastasis (14.2%). In univariate analysis, tumor size (58.5% in >1 cmvs 33.6% in≤1 cm) and tumor with calcification in preoperational ultrasonography (43.7% withvs 31.7% without) showed signiifcant difference in prevelance of LNM. In multivariate analysis, tumor size >1 cm (OR=2.792) was the independent risk factor of LNM. Gender (3.8% in male vs 11.8% in female), age (10.7% <40 yearsvs 3.4%≥40 years ), tumor size(13.4% in >1 cmvs 3.4% in≤1 cm) and tumor with low echo in preoperational ultrasonography (13.9% withvs 4.8% without) showed signiifcant difference in univariate analysis of high volume LNM. Male (OR=5.152), tumor size >1 cm (OR=5.712) and age <40 years (OR=3.959) were conifrmed as independent risk factors of high volume LNM. Male (OR=3.105) and tumor size >1 cm (OR=3.863) were also demonstrated as independent risk factors of contralateral LNM in patients with solitary lesion in unilateral lobe, the prevalence of LNM were 26.5% in male and 26.1% in tumor size >1 cm, respectively.Conclusion:LNM was not “rare” in cN0 PTC patients. Prophylactic central neck dissection should be performed in cN0 patients with tumor size >1 cm. For cN0 microcarcinoma, more active surgical treatment may be considered in male and young patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical results of minimally invasive fixation of the sacroiliac triangle for vertically unstable pelvic posterior ring injury. Methods A retrospective study was conducted of 20 patients who had been treated for vertically unstable pelvic posterior ring from January 2014 to August 2016. They were 12 males and 8 females, aged from 20 to 58 years ( average, 35 years ) . According to Tile classification for pelvic fractures, there were 4 cases of type C1. 1, 6 cases of type C1. 2, 7 cases of type C1. 3 and 3 cases of type C2. Their posterior rings were treated by fixation through posterior paraspinal approach with S1-iliac pedicle screws plus percutaneous sacroiliac screws, and their anterior rings by closed reduction and internal fixation with cannulated screws, Infix or plate following open reduction. The incision length, operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. Postoperative reduction quality was assessed by Matta radio-logical criteria and pelvic function by Majeed criteria at the final follow-ups. Results Altogether 20 fixation systems of S1-iliac pedicle screws and 37 sacroiliac joint screws were inserted in this series. The length of incision ranged from 5. 5 to 7. 6 cm ( average, 6. 2 cm ) , the operation time from 89 to 130 minutes ( average, 98 minutes) and the intraoperative blood loss from 110 to 320 mL (average, 195 mL). According to Matta ra-diological criteria, reduction was excellent in 13, good in 5 and fair in 2 cases, with an excellent and good rate of 90%. The follow-up time for the 20 patients ranged from 6 to 15 months ( average, 9 months ) . The healing time ranged from 10 to 14 weeks ( average, 12. 5 weeks ) . At the final follow-ups, X-ray and CT three-dimensional reconstruction showed fine fracture union. By the Majeed criteria, the pelvic function was excellent in 11 cases, good in 5, fair in 3, and poor in one, with an excellent and good rate of 80%. No loosening, breakage or pull-out of pedicle screws or sacroiliac screws happened. Conclusion Minimally invasive fixation of the sacroiliac triangle for vertically unstable pelvic posterior ring injury can lead to precise placement, quick recovery, small incision and good functional outcome.
