Objective To evaluate surgical treatment of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm.Methods The data on surgical treatment of 45 patients with infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm admitted from January 2003 to June 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.Fourty-three patients underwent operative treatment including excision of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm,exhaustive debridement and bypass graft with vascular prosthesis.Two patients were unavoidable to undergo removing of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm and ligating the proximal and distal artery of pseudoaneurysm because of severe infection and large volume.Results The patients were followed up from 3 to 12 months(mean 7.82 months).The limbs of all the patients underwent bypass graft with vascular prosthesis were salvaged successfully,patients of which had secondary wound healing and had not intermittent lameness.One of two patients performed ligation of artery was salvaged successfully but had severe intermittent lameness,another patient underwent high amputation above knee because of ischemic gangrene.ConclusionFor infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm,the operative treatment including excision of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm,exhaustive debridement and bypass graft with vascular prosthesis is effective and safe.

BACKGROUND:Though the effects of conservative or traditional open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures are reliable and satisfactory for most cases, two methods also have shortages. Minimal-invasive percutaneous pedicle screw system provides a new available method. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effect of Sextant percutaneous pedicle screw system in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. METHODS:A total of 55 patients, who had undergone percutaneous pedicle screw fixation using Sextant system (25 patients) or traditional open internal fixation (30 patients) for single-level vertebral body compression fractures in Department of Orthopedics of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from February 2011 to January 2013, were enrol ed in this study. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Except two patients in traditional open internal fixation group were lost after discharge, al other patients were fol owed up for 8-14 months. Operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage amount and hospital day were better in percutaneous pedicle screw fixation group than in the traditional open internal fixation group (P<0.05). Compared with preoperation, the sagittal Cobb angle, visual analogue scale and Oswestry disability index after operation were significantly lower (P<0.05), while anterior vertebral body height ratio was significantly higher in each group (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in terms of correction loss and Oswestry disability index between two groups at 8 months after operation (P>0.05). The results show that percutaneous pedicle screw fixation using Sextant system has a satisfactory outcome in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. However, obeying indication strictly is very important for clinical application.

BACKGROUND:The effects of both conservative and traditional open reduction and internal fixation are dissatisfactory in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures, however, minimal-invasive percutaneous pedicle screw-rod systems provide a new available method.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effect of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation using Sextant minimal-invasive system in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures.
METHODS:A total of 55 patients, who had undergone percutaneous pedicle screw fixation using Sextant system (25 patients) or open pedicle screw fixation (30 patients) for single-level vertebral body compression fractures in Department of Orthopedics, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from February 2011 to January 2013, were enrol ed in this study. They showed no neurological signs and symptoms. The operative time, intraoperablood loss, postoperative drainage amount, length of hospital stay, pre-and post-operative Cobb angle and anterior vertebral body height ratio were recorded and compared between two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Except two patients in open pedicle screw fixation group were lost after discharge, al other patients were fol owed up for 8-14 months. There were significant differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage amount and length of hospital stay between two groups (P=0.000 0). The post-operative Cobb angle was significantly lower while anterior vertebral body height ratio was significantly higher at one week than those before fixation in two groups (P=0.000 0). No significant difference was found in correction loss between two groups at 8 months after operation. Experimental findings indicate that, percutaneous pedicle screw fixation using Sextant system has a satisfactory outcome in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. However, understanding the correct indications is very important for clinical application.

BACKGROUND:Currently, one of common methods is discectomy, nerve root decompression and fusion rigid fixation from the midline approach for disc herniation which is inefficient by conservative treatments. Thus, it is causing degeneration and limiting lumbar physiological activity of adjacent segments. The treatment of non-fusion lumbar disc herniation with the traditional posterior midline incision approach has some disadvantages such as big incision, wide peeling, and back muscle denervation.
OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic effects of dynamic stabilization system through Wiltse approach on lumbar disc herniation, and to compare the outcomes with traditional posterior approach.
METHODA total of 46 patients, who had undergone discectomy and internal fixation using dynamic stabilization systems for lumbar disc herniation at the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2011 to January 2013, were enrol ed in this study. The operation was performed through the traditional posterior approach in 25 patients and Wiltse approach in 21 patients.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al 46 patients were fol owed up for 7 to 31 months (averagely, 13.8±2.4 months). The length of incision, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative drainage amount were less in the Wiltse approach group than in the traditional posterior approach group (P<0.05). No significant difference in visual analog scale scores and operative time was detected between the two groups at 1 week and 6 months after fixation (P>0.05). Radiographs revealed that the position of implants was good in al patients, no loosing or breakage. These data verified that the early effect of dynamic stabilization system through Wiltse approach for lumbar disc herniation is similar to that of traditional posterior approach.

Objective To probe into the content of DNA Topo Ⅱ in osteosarcoma after chemotherapy.Methods 30 patients with osteosarcoma received two courses of chemotherapy treatment before the surgical resection of the tumor tissue.Then immunohistochemistry was used to detect the content of Topo Ⅱ in tissues and detected its relationship in pathology.Results There were 8 out of 30 cases in which Topo Ⅱ was presented positive in osteosarcoma (26.7 ％).The protein content of Topo Ⅱ was unrelated to the patient' s age,gender,degree of tumor malignancy,tumor location and translocation or Enneking staging (P ＞ 0.05),but related to patients survival rate (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Patients with lower expression of Topo Ⅱ are more likely to have poor prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the indications of different hepatic blood flow occlusion in hepatectomy of cancer patients. Methods One hundred and fifty-six patients admitted between 1991-2001 underwent hepatectomy with hepatic blood flow occlusion in different ways, among them 48 cases underwent hepatic segmentectomy with segmental portal vein occlusion by a balloon catheter, 71 cases underwent hepatectomy with porta hepatis occlusion by Pringle method, 37 cases treated by hemihepatectomy or partial hepatectomy with hemihepatic occlusion. Results Intraoperative blood loss in patients using balloon catheter was smaller and postoperative liver function recovered faster compared with other ways of blood flow occlusion. Conclusion The preliminary result shows that hepatic segmentectomy with segmental portal vein occlusion by a balloon catheter is safe and useful technique for hepatectomy.
