[Objective]To observe the effect of treating hallux valgus with modified Mitchell operation.[Method]A total of 18 cases(28 feet) of hallux valgus were treated with modified Mitchell operation from Apr.2000 to Oct.2003.The average preoperative hallux valgus angle(HVA) was 30.5 according to the X-ray images,while the average intermetatarso-phalangeal angle(IMA) was 13.5.The difference between the modified Mitchell operation and normal one was that only one transverse osteotomy need to be carried out in the distal metatarsal without lateral ridge left.The distal position of osteotomy was extended according to the sum of IMA and then moved to the metatarso side by 2~3 mm.Absorbable screws were used for fixation.[Result]All 28 feet were followed up for 10~32 months.It showed excellent result in 24 feet,good in 3,and bad in 1,with the total satisfactory rate of 92.9%.According to the postoperative weight-loading X-ray checking result,the average HVA was 15.5,with an average improving of 15;the average IMA was 8.5,with an average improving of 5.[Conclusion]The modified Mitchell operation can correct the metatarso-varus without destroying the biomechanical status.The loading function of great toe could be resumed by the removing of the first metatarso head.

Objective To explore the effect of self efficacy combined with mobile health information service applied in pulmonary rehabilitation in residence in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods Sixty-eight elderly patients in stable situation were divided into the control group and the intervention group with 34 cases in each group accoridng to the random digit table. In the control group, the nursing intervention included health education and telephone follow-up. The intervention group adopted self efficacy theory combined with mobile health information service. The items such as persistence in pulmonary rehabilitation, Exercise Self-Regulatory Efficacy Scale (Ex-SRES) and health condition were assessed. Results After intervention for 12 weeks, the scores of persistence in pulmonary rehabilitation in residence in the intervention group scored 5.35 ±1.42, which was higher than that in the control group (2.03±1.40), the difference was significant (t=160.43, P<0.01). Ex-SRES of the intervention group scored 62.06±13.10,91.21±11.12, which were higher than those of the control group, 50.38±18.03,42.56±18.23, the difference was significant (t=9.32,176.88, P<0.01) . The interaction between treatment effects and time effect was significant in COPD Assessment of Tool (CAT) and Ex-SRES respectively(F=489.95,P=0.00;F=134.80, P=0.00). Comparing value of CAT in baseline (24.97±4.74,24.62±5.39) and at the end of the twelfth week(24.94±4.74,24.65±5.35), the difference was not significant in two groups respectively(P>0.05). The improvement of CAT was significant at the end of the twenty-forth week (21.90±4.67) in the intervention group (t=-12.09, P<0.01). Conclusions Self efficacy theory and the application of mobile health information services can help patients persist in long-term rehabilitation exercise training.

Objective To apply short message service (SMS) for pulmonary rehabilitation in residence. Methods A total of 102 old pa-tients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in stable situation were equally divided into three groups randomly. They all ac-cepted a two-week lesson of exercise project, and then took in the project for 22 weeks. Meanwhile, group A phoned to their experts once a week, group B was phoned by their experts once a week, and group C accepted SMS once a day and sent back to the experts. They were in-vestigated with Exercise Self Regulatory Efficacy Scale (Ex-SERS), modified British Medical Research Council Scale (mMRC) and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) before and after intervention. Results The score of Ex-SERS was the most in group C (F=179.53, P<0.001), with the interaction of time (F=387.09, P<0.001). While the scores of mMRC (F=8.754, P<0.001) and CAT (F=11.32, P<0.001) were the least in group C. Conclusion Application of SMS in the integrated management for pulmonary rehabilitation in residence may improve the self regu-latory efficacy of exercise, release the dyspnea and the influence on living in patients with COPD.

Objective To investigate relationship between CD133 expression and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by detecting expressions of CD133. Methods 65 cases with HCC were enrolled and their HCC tissues and peripheral blood samples were taken. Expression of CD133 in HCC tissue was detected with immunohistochemical method and the percentages of CD45- CD133+ cells in peripheral blood were assayed by the method of flow cytometry (FCM), and 10 healthy persons were chosen as controls. Results In HCC patients, the positive expression rate of CD133 in HCC tissues was 6.4 % and the percentage of CD45- CD133+ cells in peripheral blood was 2.0 %. The expression rate of CD133 was not found in normal liver tissues and peripheral blood (P <0.01). The amount of CD133+ cells was significantly related to portal vein tumor embolus (P<0.01), tumor amicula integrality (P<0.01), pathology grade (P<0.01) and TNM stage (P <0.01), but not related to tumor diameter(P0.05) and AFP value (P0.05). It showed a positive correlation between HCC tissues and peripheral blood (r=0.36, P <0.01). Conclusion The percentage of CD133+ cell in HCC tissues and peripheral blood from HCC patient is greatly correlated to the progression of HCC. It is useful to exam the CD133 expression in predicting the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation.
