Objective To discuss the value of video-assisted thoracoscope in the treatment of esophageal leiomyoma. Methods Clinical data of 19 patients with esophageal leiomyoma treated by video-assisted thoracoscopy from July 2000 to October 2007 were reviewed retrospectively.Under general anaesthesia with the patients at the lateral position according to the location of esophageal leiomyoma,3 incisions were made on the chest wall for insertion of the trocars.Gastroscope was applied for intraoperative auxiliary operation.Results Under a video-assisted thoracoscope,enucleation of the leiomyoma was performed on 18 of the patients,the other one,who were diagnosed with esophageal leiomyoma(3 cm ? 2 cm) was converted to thoracotomy because of the tumor was confirmed huge during the thoracoscopy.No postoperative death or severe complications occurred.Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyoma in all of the cases.The patients were followed up for a mean of 24.5 months(5-35 months),no recurrence was found during the period. Conclusions Video-assisted thoracoscopy can be the first choice for the treatment of esophageal leiomyoma.Open surgery should be considered if the tumor is huge.

Objective To investigate the clinic results of treatment of distal tibiofibular fractures by in- direct reduction and plate fixation through inferior fibula.Methods Between 2002 and 2005,32 cases of distal tibiofibular fractures were treated with indirect reduction and plate fixation through inferior fibula.According to the AO/ASIF classification,there were 17 cases of type A,nine cases of type B,and six cases of type C.Twenty of them also received iliac autograft through a limited median incision at the lower tibia to repair their lateral tibial defects.After operation their ankle joints were fixated at 90?with piaster brace and cast for three months.The bone union,wound and the function of the ankles were observed after surgery.Results All the patients were followed up for an average of 16 months.The average bone union time was 14 weeks.No nonunion,screw loosening,broken plate,or infection of the wounds was found in this series.The excellent and good rate was 84.4% according to Mazur's ankle joint function scoring.Conclusion Indirect reduction and plate fixation through inferior fibula is a satisfactory technique in the treatment of distal tibiofibular fractures.

Objective In this study,we aim to investigate and evaluate the application of peer education on the teaching of medical graduate students and to evaluate the teaching effect,in order to provide the basis for subsequent practice reform.Methods 49 graduate students majoring Internal Medicine-Pulmonology were randomly divided into traditional teaching(24) and peer education groups (25).We chose the primary culture technology of rat distal pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells to be the teaching contents.For the traditional teaching group,we used the mode of class lecture giving and experimental skills learning under the assistance of the teachers; while in the peer education group,students benefited from the combination of class lecture given by the teacher and the seniors fixed teaching in which seniors help younger students.We selected the experimental operating time,cell purity and the practicing time to reach a standard culture as the evaluation indexes by filling a follow up questionnaire.The SPSS 13.0 was applied to the related data forx2 or t test.Results In the traditional teaching group,the average time to reach three times of standard culture was(3.2 ± 0.5) hour,which was(2.3 ± 0.4) hour in the peer education group.The cell purity was 80.1 ± 3.6％ in the traditional teaching group,while(85.4 ± 5.9)％ in the peer education group.The average practicing time was(6.3 ± 1.0) in the traditional teaching group,while(4.9 ± 0.6) in the peer education group.The peer education group master the teaching content better than the traditional teaching group (P=0.00).95.8％(23/24)of the students in the peer-education group considered the teaching contents simple,which was statistically higher(P=0.00) than traditional group (62.5％,15/24).Meanwhile,95.8％ (23/24)of the students in the peer-education group considered the teaching methods easy to accept,which was also statistically higher(P=0.02) than traditional group(70.8％,17/24).The difference was statistically significant (P=0.02).Conclusion The application effect of peer education is good and there is high degree of acceptance among the students.Besides,peer education accords with the medical postgraduate experiment teaching rules,and can cultivate medical graduate students' spirit of cooperation and communication ability in the process of implementation.

Objective To analysis influence of perioperative function rehabilitation training combined with drug treatment on uri-nary incontinence recovery after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy .Methods The clinical data of 31 cases of incontinence after lap-aroscopic radical prostatectomy were retrospectively analyzed .Early functional rehabilitation training ,drugs and mental guidance were applied to the patients .Results 31 out of 91 cases who receiving the laparoscopic radical prostatectomy immediately suffered from urinary incontinence when removing catheter .9 cases rehabilitated after 7 days ,12 cases rehabilitated after 1 months ,and 29 cases rehabilitated after 6 months .Conclusion Urinary incontinence occurs more in the early laparoscopic radical surgery ,perioper-ative function rehabilitation training combined with drug treatment could effectively improve the function of patients with urinary continence .

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significances of the chemokines of interferon-?-inducible protein-10(IP-10),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and growth-related oncogene-?(Gro-?) involved in pathagenesis of Kawasaki disease(KD) and HenochSchonlein purpura(HSP).Methods The chemokines production of IP-10,MCP-1 and Gro-? were assayed by ELISA in 15 patients with KD,12 patients with HSP and 10 healthy children.Results The plasma levels of IP-10 and MCP-1 were markedly elevated in KD group [(394.2?176.4)and(420.5?163.4)ng?L-1]compared with HSP group[(94.8?66.4)and(109.2?76.6)ng?L-1] and the control group [(76.4?46.5)and(87.7?47.8)ng?L-1](all P0.05),as well as Gro-? between the three groups.Conclusion Monocyte may enhance the immune damage in KD pathogenesis,and the levels of IP-10,MCP-1 may be important indexes for KD.Neutrophil may be not involved in pathogenesis of HSP and KD.
