We reported two cases of pelvic retroperitoneal schwannomawe occurred in the young unmarried female successfully resected by laparoscopic surgery.One was a 16-year-old girl presented with secondary amenorrhea.Ultrasound and MRI found the existence of an ovarian cystic and solid mass,5.3 cm × 4.5 cm in size.Laparoscopic exploration found pelvic mass completely located in the left retroperitoneal obturator fossa and complicated with rudimentary horn of the uterus.The other was a 25-year-old female and asymptomatic.Ultrasound showed a mass in the right ovary.During operation a pelvic mass was discovered in the anterior of right sacral retroperitoneum,8 cm× 6 cm in size.Two cases of retroperitoneal lesions were preoperatively misdiagnosed as ovarian mass and had densely adhered to the surrounding tissues.Histopathologic examinations confirmed to be benign schwannoma and resected radically by laparoscopy without any complications.The operation time was 120 min and 166 min,respectively.The intraoperative bleeding was 150 ml and 600 ml,respectively.The S-100 protein on pathological immunohistochemistry showed strong positivity.We deem that laparoscopic resection is necessary for diagnosis and treatment of pelvic retroperitoneal schwannomawe,being safe and effective.Complete excision is benefical to prevent recurrence.

AIM:To discuss the application effect of adjustable sutures in glaucoma filtering operation after trabecular resection.
METHODS: Seventy-eight cases ( 101 eyes ) suffered from glaucoma were randomly divided into two groups, observation group and control group. Thirty-nine cases ( 51 eyes ) in the observation group underwent trabeculectomy with adjustable sutures, the control group (39 cases, 50 eyes) only adopted trabeculectomy.RESULTS: Compared Preoperative IOP in two groups, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0. 05). After 6mo, IOP were decreased compared with preoperative in two groups, and that in observation group was lower than control group, the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0. 05 ). Six months after operation, there were 1 eye with shallow anterior chamber Ⅰ and 2 eyes with non- functional bleb in observation group, and the complication rate was 5. 9%. While there were of 6 eyes with shallow anterior chamber, in which 4 eyes at gradeⅠ, each one at gradeII and Ⅲ. Non-functional blebs in 5 eyes and a scleral flap adhesion complications rate in the control group was 24. 0%, significantly higher than that in the observation group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01).
CONCLUSION: The adjustable sutures combined with trabeculectomy for glaucoma can significantly reduce the postoperative complications. The curative effect is exact and clinically applicable.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the postoperative analgesic effect of Dexmedetomidine combined with Remifentanil on patients in lung cancer resection and its effect on immune function. METHODS:60 lung cancer patients in lung cancer resection were randomly divided into control group(30 cases)and observation group(30 cases). All patients with endotracheal intubation re-ceived lung cancer resection under general anesthesia. After surgery,control group received Remifentanil hydrochloride 10μg/(kg·d)+Ondansetron hydrochloride injection 16 mg,adding into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection co-formulated into 100 ml;observation group received Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection 0.75 μg/(kg·d)+Remifentanil hydrochloride 10 μg/(kg·d)+Ondansetron hydrochloride injection 16 mg,adding into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection co-formulated into 100 ml. Background doses in 2 groups were 2 ml/h,self-controlled amount was 2 ml,lockout time was 15 min. Visual analog pain score (VAS),IFN-γ,IL-10 level,T cell subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+)after 6,12,24,48 h and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:VAS scores after 6,12,24,48 h in observation group were significantly lower than control group,and VAS scores after 24,48 h in 2 groups were significantly lower than that after 6 h,with statistical significance(P<0.05). IFN-γ levels after 6,12,24,48 h in observation group were significantly lower than control group,and IFN-γ levels after 12,24,48 h in 2 groups were significantly lower than that after 6 h,IL-10 level after 12,24,48 h in observation group were significantly higher than that 6 h and control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CD3+after 6,24,48 h,CD4+after 6,12,48 h,CD4+/CD8+af-ter 12,24,48 h in observation group were significantly higher than control group,CD8+ after 12,24 h were significantly lower than control group,CD3+,CD4+ after 12,24,48 h in 2 groups,CD4+/CD8+ in control group,and CD8+ after 12,24 h in observa-tion group and after 24 h in control group were significantly lower than that after 6 h,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The postoperative anal-gesic effect of Dexmedetomidine combined with Remifentanil on patients in lung cancer resection is superior to Remifentanil alone, it can improve the immune function,with good safety.

BackgroundThere are a lot of studies about the wound healing charateristics of cornea after SBK with femtosecond laser.In our study,mechanical microkeratome was preferred for corneal flap.We observed the proliferation of keratocytes by investigating the myofibroblast ( MF) activity.Objective The study was to compare the morphologic and histological changes in the cornea after sub-Bowmans keratomileusis ( SBK) with photorefractive keratectomy ( PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis ( LASIK)by investigating the express of transforming growth factor-β( TGF-β)and α-smooth muscle actin( α-SMA)and to investigate the wound healing characteristiCs of cornea after SBK.MethodsTwenty-seven adult New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned into group A,B and C.SBK waa performed on the right eyes of each rabbit in group A,LASIK for group B and PRK for group C.All the left eyes were used as the normal control group.Histological examinations by light microscopy were performed on day 7,1 months,3 months after surgery.The expression of α-SMA and TGF-β and the number of activated MF were assessed by immunohistochemiatry.ResultsIn SBK group,corneal epithelium cells proliferation around the wound was seen and the numbers of active fibroblasts were increased after surgery.The expression of α-SMA or TGF-β around the corneal flap and the corneal 8troma started at day 7 postoperatively and peaked at 1 months and decreaaed around the corneal flap and the corneal 8troma started at day 7 postoperatively and peaked at 1 months and decreaaed t3mnh.TFβep( SBK:t=2.226,2.158,2.330,P＜0.05;PRK:t=4.745,6.524,6.293,P＜O.05).The numbersof activ( SBK:t=2.226,2.158,2.330,P＜O.05;PRK:t=4.745,6.524,6.293,P＜0.05).The numbersof activatedMFs were different fromLASIKstatisticallytoobetweenSBKgroupandPRKgroup ( SBK:t =4.439.5.692,4.175,P＜0.05 ; PRK:t=6.330,6.723,5.267,P＜0.05 ).Theα-SMAand TCF-βexpressionsin SBKgroupwerelessthan PRK group but more thanLASIKgroup( TCF-β:t =4.691,5.527,t =4.399,P＜0.05 ; α-SMA:t =9.637.10.282,8.197,P＜0.05).The numhers of MFs in SBK group was less than PRK group before 3 months and were same at 3 months ( t =5.188,4.529,P＜0.05 ).Conclusions ComparedwithconventionalLASIK,SBKcanup-regulatethe expression of α-SMA.TGF-β,activated MFs in the corneal flap.which enhance corneal biomechanics and promote healing.However,most of the disadvantages caused by wound healing in SBK still remain compared to PRK.

BACKGROUND:Arthroscopic treatment of tibial eminence fracture requires tiny wire,induces less epiphyseal plate damage during operations,obtains strong fixations,alows early movement postoperatively,obviously attenuate the injuries,facilitate wound healing,and reduce complications.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biocompatibility of arthroscopic reduction and wire fixation in treatment of fresh and old tibial eminence fractures.METHODS:Twenty-five patients with fresh and old tibial eminence fractures were treated with arthroscopic reduction and wire fixation from January 2010 to April 2012 in the Second People's Hospital of Yichang City.The postoperative fracture healing time and knee function improvement in the two groups were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the fresh fracture patients,the fracture healing time was longer,Lachman test positive rate was higher in the old fracture patients than (P＜0.05),knee flexion and extension activity and Lysholm score were lower (P＜0.05).Experimental findings indicate that,arthroscopic reduction and wire fixation is a feasible clinical treatment of fresh and old tibial intercondylar eminence fractures.
