Objective To evaluate the techniques and effects of arthroscopic resection of cystic lesions of soft tissue. Methods Twenty-six patients with soft tissue cysts underwent arthroscopic shaving of cyst wall from February 1998 to February 2001. Results Follow-up observation ranged from 6 months to 12 months, with a mean of 8.6 months. The total effective rate reached 96.2% (25 of 26), and no postoperative complications occurred. Recurrence was only seen in 1 patient with thecal cyst on the right dorsal wrist. Conclusions Arthroscopic resection of cystic lesions of soft tissue can be a less invasive method, with fewer complications, a high effective rate and a rapid recovery.

Objectives To explore the effects of hyperosmosis of sea water and low temperature on hemorrhage and coagulation sys- tem of dogs after open abdominal injury followed by sea water immersion,and to observe the efficiency of plasma in addition to routine first aid,so as to provide a theoretical basis for the early treatment of open abdominal wound in naval warfare.Methods 24 dogs with open in- jury of the abdomen were randomly divided to three groups with 8 animals for each group.The dogs in control group were not subjected to sea water immersion and received routine treatments;dogs in conventional therapy group were immersed in sea water and then given the routine first aid;dogs in plasma group were immersed with aqua marina and then given a combined treatment of routine first aid plus an in- fusion of plasma.The following parameters were measured and recorded:survival time,body temperature,mean arterial blood pressure, osmotic pressure of plasma,prothrombin time,partial thromboplastin time,d-dimer and factorⅡ.Results Prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time were significantly prolonged,D-Dipolymer increased and factorⅡdecreased after sea immersion with open abdominal wound.The survival time of dogs in plasma group(45.6?12.5h)was significantly longer than that of dogs in both control and conven- tional therapy groups(P

BACKGROUND:The blood supply is essential for the repair of the meniscus after the suture of it in the injured knee joint. According to the condition of blood supply, the meniscus was divided into three zones by Arnoczk in 1982. The absolute vascularization zone, in which the distance to the combination part of meniscus and synovial membrane is inferior to 3mm, is called the red zone. The absolute devascularization zone, in which the above-mentioned distance is superior to 5 mm, is called the white zone.And the relative vascularization zone with the distance between 3 mm to 5mm is called red-white zone.OBJECTIVE: To observe and discuss the anatomical features of the blood supplyof the meniscus.DESIGN:Single sample observation.SETTING:Department of Orthopaedics, Huaxi Hospital of Sichuan University.PARTICIPANTS: The study was conducted in Huaxi Hospital of Sichuan University during the period from September 2000 to March 2001.Nineteen cases were collected, including 19 knees (38 menisci) from the subjects, 17 male and 2 female, whose age varied from 21 to 43 years old.All the samples were obtained in the amputation operation, the isolated limbs were without the change of re-transplantation and the voluntary donations from the non-minorities living in Sichuan.meniscus samples: 7 knees (14 menisci) were taken. After the femoral artery intubation and infusion of the heparinized normal saline, the vascular bed had no blood and then was infused with the normal saline and ink of 0.5 volume fraction and the infusion pressure was 13 kPa. The infused meniscus samples underwent the dehydration of gradient ethanol,the transparency of dimethylbenzene, and preservation with ilex pedunculosa, and then the blood supply of the menisci was observed and distribution of the meniscus section: 6 knees (12 menisci) with fresh and uninfused menisci were taken. The sections obtained at the sagittal plane,the coronal plane and the horizontal plane underwent hematoxylin-eosin staining. Then the tissues structure and blood supply of the meniscus samples were observed with light microscope. Another 6 knees (12meniscus) underwent the specific CD34 antibody immunohistochemical staining. Then the tissue structure and blood supply distribution of the meniscus samples were observed with the light microscope.in the devascularization zone of the meniscus.RESULTS: Nineteen cases with 38 menisci all went into the final result resourced from the medial and lateral genicular arteries and the middle genicular artery. The small vessels from them form the peripheral capillary vessel plexus and annular vessel meshwork in the synovium and joint capsule and then go into the menisci for the nutrition of the lateral The apparent lunar artery is sent by the vessel plexus around the meniscus into the body of the meniscus and arranges in the inferior,middle and superior layers and dominates 25%-30% of the zone around The vessels of the angular part of the semilunar plate cover the whole meniscus. The nutrition is supplied by the membranous synovium on the surface of the meniscus.Rich blood supply was observed in the anterior and posterior angular laminated blood supply in the body of the meniscus was newly devascularization zone of the meniscus is supplied from the joint synovial fluid is explicit.

Objective: To set a quantified diagnostic standard for large intestinal cancer of spleen qi deficiency syndrome. Methods: The spleen qi deficiency syndrome was identified by experts on the basis of clinical epidemiological investigation of 311 patients suffering from large intestinal cancer. Corresponding points were assigned to the correlative factors (traditional Chinese medicine symptoms) on the basis of symptom differences between spleen qi deficiency syndrome and non-spleen-qi-deficiency syndrome. The best threshold was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) according to syndrome differentiation from expert team, and the quantified diagnostic standard was established. The syndrome identification from the expert team which was regarded as golden standard was tested retrospectively. Results: All the traditional Chinese medicine symptoms possibly related to spleen qi deficiency syndrome were analyzed based on the opinions of experts, and 28 symptoms were confirmed as candidate correlative factors. The occurrence of 11 symptoms between spleen qi deficiency syndrome and non-spleen-qi-deficiency syndrome showed statistical differences by means of crosstabs analysis (P<0.05). The 11 symptoms were filtered by logistic regression analysis, and tiredness, fatigue, loose stool, and poor appetite were finally determined as the symptoms relative to large intestinal cancer. These four symptoms were analyzed with conditional probability conversion and endowed with 16, 11, 4 and 8 points respectively. The diagnostic standard of spleen qi deficiency syndrome of large intestinal cancer was over 13 points. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of retrospective examination were all above 80%, and its positive likelihood ratio was 9.89. Conclusion: The quantified diagnostic standard for spleen qi deficiency syndrome of large intestinal cancer is in accordance with clinical characteristics of large intestine cancer and the characteristics of TCM syndrome diagnosis.

Objective Konno-Rastan procedure is one option to cope with complex multilevel left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO),which continues to pose a serious challenge to cardiac surgeons.The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyse indications for Konno-Rastan procedure,and to review the safeguards and pitfalls.Methods Between January 1996 and August 2012,totally 13 children with multilevel LVOTO underwent Konno-Rastan procedure.There were 8 boys and 5 girls.Age at surgeries ranged from 5 to 13 years,and weight from 12 to 51 kg with median of 21 kg.The pathology of this cohort includes:8 cases of congenital aortic valvular stenosis,3 cases of congenital aortic valvular stenosis combined with supravalvular stenosis,1 case of congenital aortic stenosis combined with VSD,coarctation and RVOT obstruction,1 case of aortic stenosis s/p percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty.All patients have secondary diffuse tunnel LVOTO.Diameter of aortic ring ranges from 12.0 to 16.4 mm,and pressure gradient across the stenotic region ranges from 90-151 mm Hg.8 cases were implanted with St.Jude AG19 while 5 cases implanted with St.Jude AG17.Results All 13 cases survived.The 4th patient was implanted permanent epicardial pacemaker for transient Ⅲ AVB.The 4th and 5th patients were found residual ventricular septal repture at the nadir of ventricular incision,one underwent redo procedure while another is being followed up.All cases take cumadine to sustain INR at 1.8-2.5.No death emerges during follow-up period.The motality is 0％,the incidence rate of B is 7.7％,residual VSD 15.4％ and endocarditis 7.7％.Conclusion Konno-Rastan procedure is a promising techi.to relieve LVOTO.However,this complex procedure may lead to several fetal complications.Success of the surgery demands perfect operations.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exist in human tissues.Presently,cell source is single;culture method has great differences;obtained results are not consistent.Thus,it cannot verfy that isolated and cultured cells are identical calls,which is difficult to compare.OBJECTIVE:To compare the biological features of MSCs derived form bone marrow (BM),perpheral blood (PB) and cord blood (CB) under in vitro culture conditions.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The cytological in vitro controlled study was performed at the Department of Hematology,Navy General Hospital of Chinese PLA from June 2007 to December 2008.MATERIALS:A total of 10 donors of hemopoietic stem cell transplantation at the Department of Hematology,Navy General Hospital of Chinese PLA were selected.MB and PB cells were obtained from the same donor,and cell volumes were respectively 20 mL and 2 mL.CB cells (30 mL) were obtained from healthy primipara at the Department of Obstetrics,Navy General Hospital of Chinese PLA.METHODS:MSCs were obtained from BM,PB and CB by Percoll density gradient + adherence method,and then incubated in DMEM/F12 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum.When 80%-90% confluency,cells were digested in trypsin-EDTA and made into 5×10~8/L cell suspension as P_0.Above-described operation was performed as P_1,and the rest may be deduced by analogy as P_2-P_5.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The following parameters were measured:cell growth morphology;results of Wright-Giemsa staining;results of cytochemistry;cell proliferation amount;cell surface markers using flow cytometry.RESULTS:Time of adherence,time to 50% confluency and time to 80% confluency of BMSCs were earlier comarped with the PBMSCs and UCMSCs.Adherent cells from BM grew in whirpool-like type,while CB and PB did not at 5-7 days.Majority of aderent cells from BM were fibroblast-like cells,and small parts were endothelioid cells.Aderent cells from PB and CB at the fifth generation contained more endothelioid cells and mononuclear and macrophage-like cells besides fibroblast-like cells.PAS stain,Sudan black B stein,alkaline phosphatase (AKP) staining of adherent cells from BM,PB and CB were negative from P_1 to P_5.Compared with P0 cells,number of BMMSCs till P5 was significantly more in PBMSCs and UCMSCs (P ＜ 0.05).Positive rates of CD29,CD44,CD90,CD71,CD105,CD166 and HLA-ABC were 55.9% 92.8% at P0 to P5,but ≤6% following BMMSCs were incubated;19.7%-33.4% at P0 to P5,but ≤10% following PBMSCs were incubated;35.4%-93.2% at P_0 to P_5,but ≤20% following CBMSCs were incubated.Positive rates of CD34,CD45 and HLA-DR were low in BM-,PB-and CB-MSCs.Positive rates of CD14 and CD31 were low in BMMSCs;12.1%-28.3% in PBMSCs,and 8.1%-21.3% in CBMSCs.CONCLUSION:MSCs can be attained from BM,PB and CB.Quantities of MSCs form BM are the highest,with single component,followed by CBMSCs and PBMSCs,with multiple components.

Objective To evaluate the outcomes of surgical repair of typeⅢ pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal de-fect( PA/VSD) .Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 98 patients with type Ⅲ PA/VSD who underwent sur-gical repair in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery , Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute from September 2005 to December 2014.There were 54 males and 44 females at the mean age of(4.2 ±4.8) years and the mean weight of(13.2 ±10.0) kg. There were 67 patients in palliative repair group and 31 patients in radical repair group .There were 85 patients underwent on-pump operation including 9 beating heart cases.Results The mean bypass time was(121.2 ±49.4)min, the mean aorta cross-clamping time was(75.4 ±31.8) min.The overall postoperative mortality was 6.1%(6/98).For the survival patients, the mean ventilation time was(106.7 ±184.3) h, the mean ICU stay was(8.9 ±10.9) days and the mean hospital stay was (33.4 ±17.0)days.During follow-up period, 28 patients were underwent re-operation, the postoperative mortality was 7.1%(2/28).There were no differences in postoperative status between two groups.Conclusion The outcomes of surgical repair for type Ⅲ PA/VSD was good.Preoperative evaluation of the pulmonary development and MAPCAs were helpful for choosing surgical options.Re-operation was recommended to those appropriate patients.

Objective To compare the two different ways of right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT) reconstruction at repair of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect,the direct RV-PA anastomosis and pericardial conduit to find the better way.Methods From Jun.2002 to Oct.2012,66 patients underwent pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect repair in our hospital,age at operation from 14 days to 272 months.Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the way of RVOT reconstruction.Group 1:31 of them,using direct RV-PA anastomasis,Group 2:35 of them,using pericardial conduit.Paired t test was used to evaluate the growth of pulmonary arteries.Chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier were used to calculate the postoperative mortality,reopemtion situation and survival time.Results There are 3 early hospital death in group 1 (9.7 ％),and 5 in group 2(14.3％),P =0.71.There is a significant difference between the two groups in restenosis rate of the RV-PA anastomasis and autologous pericardial conduit with pulmonary branch artery(Group 1:22.2％,Group 2:55.6％,P =0.01).The diameters of RV-PA anastomasis and the pulmonary artery branches in follow-up were significantly lager than the earlier diameters(P ＜ 0.05) in group 1.There is no growth on diameters of the pericardial conduit and pulmonary branches except the right pulmonary artery in follow-up in group 2.There is no significant difference between the two groups in later survival(P =0.30).Conclusion Both the direct anastomasis of RV-PA and pericardial conduit are available for RVOT reconstruction in pulmonary atresia with ventricular setal defect repair.There is lower incidence of RVOT and pulmonary stenosis and anastomosis absolutely has the ability for later growth in the former.
