1.Progress on precise hepatectomy
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2011;17(5):434-436
The development of liver surgery can be divided into several stages, including wedge liver resection, regular segmental liver resection and anatomical liver resection. With the development of biomedical sciences and information technology, liver surgery has developed into precise hepatectomy. The goals of precise hepatectomy are minimal invasion, maximal liver protection and best rehabilitation, This is mainly achieved through accurate preoperative evaluation, precise surgical planning, sophisticated surgical procedure and postoperative management. Its application significantly improves prognosis and quality of life of patients. This paper summarizes the concept and surgical technique of precise liver resection.

The Journal of Clinical Anesthesiology 2000;16(12):592-594
Objective: To evaluate the preventive effect of ephedrine on hypotension under spinal anesthesia in patients with different age. Methods: Sixty patients scheduled for spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated to four groups with 15 each. Group Ⅰ and Ⅱ were adult patients aged from 25 to 55 years old and group Ⅲ and Ⅳ were geratic aged patients of 6575 years old. Every patient received a fluid loading of 7ml/kg before spinal anesthesia. The ephedrine was administrated to group Ⅱ and IV patients in a dose of 10mg i v and 30 mg i m and same amount of normal saline was administrated to group Ⅰ and Ⅲ as soon as spinal anesthesia was performed. Results:Thirty patients in the placebo groups developed a maximal decrease in MAP exceeding 20%. Ten of these (2 in group Ⅰ and 8 in group Ⅲ ) developed a decrease in MAP exceeding 35% and required treatment. In aged groups, all patients in group Ⅲ had a decrease in MAP exceeding 20 %, 53 % of whom, the decrease exceeded 35 %. Conclusion:Prophylactic use of ephedrine is effective in the prevention of hypotension during spinal anesthesia, especially in aged patients.

6.The value of T wave alternans in prediction of ventricular arrhythmias in post-op TOF children
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2013;(7):609-611
Objective To explore the value of T wave alternans (TWA) in prediction ventricular arrhythmias in post-op TOF children. Methods The characteristics of TWA were retrospectively analyzed in 36 post-op TOF patients and 120 age-matched normal children. The relationship of sustained TWA and ventricular arrhythmias was also analysed. Results Compared with normal children, the incidence of sustained TWA was significantly increased in post-op TOF group (χ2=6.98, P<0.05). In post-op TOF patients, the incidence of ventricular arrhythmia was much higher when sustained TWA was present (χ2=10.41, P<0.05). Conclusions There exists electrophysiological basis for ventricular arrhythmia in post-op TOF children. Sustained TWA has important value in prediction of ventricular arrhythmia of post-op TOF.

Objective To evaluate the long-term results of Chiari osteotomy in the treatment of Legg-Calv?-Perthes disease for the patients of 8 years old or above and discuss the factors that influence the prognosis of this disease. Methods There were 116 hips of 103 patients of Perthes disease treated with Chiari osteotomy between June 1986 and December 2002. All patients were 8 years old or above. 72 hips of these cases acquired follow-up, the meaning follow-up duration was 97 months(range, 38-196 months). According to lateral pillar classification, 30 hips were classified as group B, 22 hips as B/C group, 20 hips as C group. There were 50 hips in male, 22 hips in female, 47 patients between 8 and 10 years old, 22 cases between 10 and 14 years old. X-ray showed 25 hips with subluxation of femoral head preoperatively. Results According to the revised Stulberg classification system: (1)31 hips had Stulberg classⅠ,Ⅱ outcome, in which B group accounted for 19 of 30 hips, the hips in group C had the worst results: of 20 hips, only 3 had a Stulberg class Ⅰ or Ⅱ outcome, the results for the hips in lateral B/C border group were intermediate between those groups B and C. 33 hips had Stulberg class Ⅲ, in which B group had 10 hips, B/C group had 11 hips, C group had 12 hips. 8 hips had Stulberg class Ⅳ or Ⅴ, B group had 1 hip, B/C group had 2 hips, C group had 5 hips. (2)All cases had a satisfied containment, no one had subluxation after Chiari osteotomy. (3)48% of male patients had a Stulberg class Ⅰor Ⅱ outcome, in contrast, only 23% of female had the comparable outcome. (4)55% of the group of 8 to 10 years old patients had a Stulberg class Ⅰ or Ⅱ outcome, in comparison with 17% from the group of 10 to 14 years old cases. Conclusion The patients older than 8 years at the onset of disease and in the lateral pillar B or C group should be treated with surgical containment, Chiari osteotomy can fulfill such task. The gender, the age of onset, especially the lateral pillar classification strongly correlate with the outcome of Perthes disease, and the latter can help us to evaluate the severity degree of the disease and the prognosis.
