Objective To explore the effect of thrombolysis with anticoagulation treatment for early stage of posttraumatic and postoperative deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity. Methods The clinical data of 38 palients with early stage of posttraumatic and postoperative deep vein thrombosis(DVT) of lower extemity treated by thrombolysis with anticoagulation and dispersion drugs were analyzed retrospectively. Results The thrombolytic effect was significant. After the treatment, the deep veins were recanalization without regorging in 71.0% of patients. The total effective rate was 100%. Only one patient had hemorrhagic complication, two patients had symptomatic pulmonary embolism,but none of the patients died. Conclusions Thrombolysis with anticoagulation is an effective and safe method for posttraumatic and postoperative DVT in the early stage.

Objective To investigate the reasonable time limit for stopping the aspirin treatment in preoperative pa-tients with general surgery and the effects on platelet function in postoperative patients with recovering the therapy of aspirin. Methods A total of 121 patients undergoing elective general surgery were divided into stopping aspirin treatment 5 d group (n=59) and stopping aspirin treatment 7 d group (n=62). Fifty healthy volunteers were used as the control group. The arachi-donic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation test was used to detect the platelet agglutination rate in all groups. Aspirin was reused 24~48 h after surgery. The level of urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 (11-DH-TXB2) was assayed by ELISA 7 and 10 d after retreatment. Results The levels of the PAgT (5 min, 8 min and 10 min) were decreased significantly in pa-tients with stopping aspirin treatment 5 d group compared with those of patients with stopping aspirin treatment 7 d group and control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the level of PAgT between patients with stopping aspirin treatment 7 d group and control group. The platelet aggregation showed two different characteristic curves after stopping aspi-rin treatment for 5 d. And the normal curve of platelet aggregation was found after stopping aspirin treatment for 7 d. The lev-els of PAgT and urinary 11-DH-TXB2 were significantly lower in patient recovered the aspirin treatment for 7 d and 10 d than that of control, and which was significantly higher in 7 d group than that of 10 d group (P>0.05). Conclusion The platelet aggregative function returned to normal level in patients with 7-d preoperative stopping aspirin. The laboratory moni-toring of aspirin therapy should be more than 7 d after postoperative reusing aspirin.

Objective To evaluate the necessity and safety of implanting temporary vena eava fihers to prevent pulmonary emboli in patients of lower extremity fractures concomitant with acute deep venous thrombosis(DVT). Methods A total of 782 patients with lower extremity fractures were complicated with DVT perioperatively. Among them, 91 received temporary vena cava filters implantation before orthopedic operations for the prevention of pulmonary embolism. All patients were followed up post-operation. Results Vena cava filters were successfully implanted in 89 patients. Mean implantation time was 27 days (range from 14 to 42 days). Thrombus trapped within the filters were found in 78 patients (87.6%) after the filters removal. Eight-two filters (92.1%) were retrived successfully at the first attempt as scheduled. Seven filters(7.9%) with big trapped thrombi were removed at the 2nd attempt after additional thrombolytic therapy. No patients needed a permanent filter. No fetal pulmonary embolism (PE) or other major complications were detected during the three to six months follow-ups period. Conclusion Temporary vena cava filter can reduce the incidence and mortality of pulmonary embolism as well as the occurrence of mid- or long-term complications in lower limb fracture patients complicated with DVT.

Objective To investigate the value of application of multi-slice helical CT(MSCT) indiagnosis of basicranial fracture. Methods Sixty-two patients with basicranial fracture were scanned withthin-section scanning mode after conventional CT scanning The images were transferred to the work-station for reconstruction including multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), volume rendering (VR). Comparison between thin-section scanning images and conventional CT scanning images were performed. Results Compared with the conventional CT scanning (67.9% and 45.0% respectively),the rates of fracture displayed of images acquired from thin-section scanning in diagnosis of fractures of anterior and middle cranial fossa (100.0% and 95.0% respectively) ,P<0.01. The two scanning mode in diagnosis of fractures of posterior cranial fossa( 88.9% and 100.0% respectively )differed from each other unstatistically(P>0.05 ). ConclusionThe thin-section scanning of MSCT can improve the diagnostic correctness of basicranial fracture.
