An analysis of the characteristics of the facial fractures in children was performed in this paper by investigating the cases of the facial fractures in children.In the study,86 cases of facial fractures in children under 12 years from January 2000 to June 2008 were reviewed,who were treated by the Fourth Military Medical University. The information included the age,gender,time distribution of jury,type of fracture, nerve injury, and associated systemic injuries. The youngest age was 13 months, the ratio of male to female was 2.19∶ 1. The majority of fractures were occurred in summer. The most cases were caused by the traffic accidents, and the mandible fractures were higher than others. The number of conservative treatment were higher than operation,78% cases of condyle fractures were treated conservative, the operation of maxilla and zygomatic arch fracture were less than 50%. The males were higher than the females according to the facial fracture in children.Traffic accident was the main risk factor of condylar fracture. The mandibular fractures were occurred frequently and treated normally by conservative method.

Objective: To estabish an animal model with blast injury in maxillofacial region and to study the biomechanical property of the model.Methods: Spherical explosive at different distances was used to make wound in maxillofacial region in dogs. The pressure on tissue at different level, the variation of horizontal acceleration and strain of the mandibular and temporal bone were dynamically measured.Results: About 3.5 cm?3.0 cm soft tissue defect and madibular splintered fracture occurred in maxillofacial region when the spherical explosive exploded on the surface of the dog's face and the animal survived. The pressure on mandible was respectively 3.6%?2.9% of the surface of dog's face when the spherical explosive exploded 0 and 1.00 cm away from the dog's face while the ratio of horizontal acceleration of cranium to mandibular was 1/8?1/6. Splintered fracture occurred in mandible when the mandibular strain was 11 375 ??.Conclusion: The model can be applied as an animal model with blast injuries in maxillofacial region.

Objective: To study the injury characteristics of blast injury in maxillofacial region wounded by spherical explosive. Methods: Spherical explosive was used to wound maxillofacial region in rabbits , after gross observation of the trauma , bone tissue specimens were collected from 0.5 or 1.0 cm to the boundary of wound 6 hours, 3 and 7 days after wounding respectively, the samples were prepared and stained with HE and modified Mallory's trichrome staining and observed under light microscope . Microcirculation in wounded bone was studied by ink injection and observed in ground bone sections. Results: No changes were found 6 hours after injury. Inflammatory infiltration were found 3 days after injury.Osteonecrosis was observed 7 days after injury, the structure of bone beyond 0.1 cm of the wound was found to be normal and restoration of bone was observed. Conclusion : Pathological changes of mandible injured by spherical explosive are similar to those of usual fracture except that the wound of blast injury is seriously polluted.

Objective:To summarize the experience in clinical diagno sis of lymphonode reactive hyperplasia (LRH). Methonds: 39 cases with the final pathological diagnosis of lymphonode reactive hyperplasia were retrospectively reviewed.Results: 39 patients had th e incidence at the age of 7～61 years old and the medical history of 14 days ～8 years.The patients consulted doctors because of unilateral or bilateral painles s masses in the superior neck and low fever.32 of them underwent repeated antib iotics treatment.On admission 9 cases were diagnosed with lymphoma,6 tuberculos is,6 inflammation of lymph node and 18 were without identified diagnosis.The f inal pathological diagnoses of all the 39 cases was LRH.Antibiotic treatment wa s effective in the patients.Conclusion:LRH was usually mis diagnosed as other diseases.Swelling of lymph nodes in superior neck with low fe ver is the main symptom of LRH.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET-CT in looking for tumor primary lesion with multiple bone metastasis.Methods 84 patients with suspected bone metastases were detected by routine imaging (X -ray,CT,MRI)in our hospital from May 2012 to September 2014 were selected,18F -FDG PET/CT were used to find the primary lesion.The final diagnosis were confirmed by tissue pathology or by clinical imaging follow -up.The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and accuracy on tumor bone metastasis of 18F -FDG PET/CT were recorded.Results In 84 patients,primary tumor was found in 49 cases,of which 46 cases (54.8%)confirmed pri-mary tumor by operation or pathology,the other 3 cases were false positive;35 patients were diagnosed as non meta-static bone tumor by PET/CT,in which 34 cases were finally confirmed as non metastatic bone tumor by pathology and follow -up;accuracy,sensitivity,specificity of 18F -FDG PET/CT were 54.8%(46 /84),93.9% (46 /49)and 95.2%(80 /84);18 cases of lung cancer,9 cases of prostate cancer,7 cases of breast cancer,5 cases of lymphoma, 4 cases of renal cell carcinoma,2 cases of liver cancer,1 cases of Uterine sarcoma were included in 46 primary tumors.Conclusion 18F -FDG PET/CT has a higher specificity,accuracy as well as higher detection rate in search of multiple bone metastases,thus it is beneficial to the clinical therapy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of percutaneous biopsy CT-guided in spine lesions.Methods CT-guided percutaneous biopsy in spine lesions was performed in 53 cases,the final diagnosis was confirmed by operation or following-up. Results The accurate rate was 85 percent for CT -guided percutaneous biopsy in spine lesions without complication.The reason of misdiagnosis was mainly that the biopsied lesions was incorrect. Conclusion The perfect percutaneous needle is the successful key for biopsy in spine lesions, we should coordinate the relationship between imaging diagnosis and percutaneous bone biopsy.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for resectable stage Ⅰ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Clinical trials of SBRT or surgery for resectable stage Ⅰ NSCLC were collected by computerized search of Cochrane Library,MEDLINE,EMbase,CBM,CNKI,and VIP.Literature selection,quality evaluation,and data extraction were performed by two inspectors based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.A meta-analysis was performed on the enrolled studies using RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of four clinical trials involving 410 patients were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that there was no significant difference in 3-year overall survival rate between SBRT and surgery (RR=1.13,95％ CI=0.66-1.94,P=0.66);there was no significant difference in local control rate between SBRT and surgery (RR=0.71,95％ CI=0.26-1.93,P=0.50);patients treated with SBRT had significantly lower incidence rates of grade 3-4 adverse reactions than those treated with surgery (RR=0.29,95％ CI=0.16-0.53,P=0.000).Conclusions SBRT shows equivalent efficacy to surgery in the treatment of resectable stage Ⅰ NSCLC.However,due to the limitations in this systematic evaluation,the conclusion needs to be further confirmed by large randomized controlled trials.

Objective To investigate the features and significance of pathologic changes in apoptosis of small bowel allograft during acute rejection in rats. Methods All 24 recipients were equally divided into four groups ; group A: nonoperative control; group B: allograft ; group C: isograft, group D: treatment control. The graft samples were harvested on day 3, 5, 7, 10 after transplantation, and subjected to histologic examination . Mucosal thickness, villous height and crypt depth were measured, and apoptotic cells of intestinal mucosa of grafts on day 3,5 and 7 after transplantation were examined. Results The mucosal structure was normal in group A; The degree of the inflammatory infiltrated cells ,intestinal mucosa cell apoptosis and structural injury of mucosa in group B were significantly severe compared with groups C and D. As the post-transplanted time increased, the number of musocal apoptotic cells and the degree of mucosal structural injury were significantly increased. The degree of mucosal structural injury in group C was milder than in group B. A few infiltrated cells and mild edema of mucosa occurred in group D , but no mucosal structural injury was found. Conclusions Inflammatory cell infiltration, mucosal epithelial cell apoptosis and mucosal structural damage are the main pathologic features of small bowel allograft during acute rejection. Dynamic observation of the pathologic changes and cell apoptosis of small bowel graft is of certain value in the diagnosis of acute rejection of small bowel graft and in assessment of the degree of small bowel injury.
