A11 the cases achieved satisfactory results without complications.Conclusion This method can effectively correct square face deformity by reducing the width and protrusion of the mid face and the width of the lower face.

Objective To compare the effect of the new and traditional anastomotic modes on the life quality of the patients with esophageal cancer. Methods 400 cases of the patients with esophageal cancer were randomly divided into A and B group. All the patients received the anastomosis of the no imbedding with 3 rows suture through the pathway of thoracotomy allied with left neck,anteriolateral surface of right thorax and the epigastrium middle line. In group A the patients received the anastomosis with esophageal arc amputation and gastric half-arc amputation. In group B the patients received the traditional anastomosis with esophageal horizontal amputation. After operation the amount of taking foods, the width of anastomotic stoma, the amount of barium reflux, pH value of esophagorrhea, 24 hours pH value of esophagorrfea and intraesophageal pressure were measured in both the two groups patients. Results 13 cases of anastomotic fistula happened in all the patients, amounted to 3.25%. 5 cases had infection in the chest with 3 cases dead (1 from Group A, 2 from group B).All obove indices showed remarkable difference between the two groups of the patients except intraesophageal pressure. Conclusion The new anastomotic mode can improve the life quality of the patients with esophageal cancer much more than the traditional anastomotic mode.

Objective To evaluate the effects of isoflurane postconditioning on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 280-320 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8 each):group sham operation (group S),group I/R,group isoflurane preconditioning (group Ⅰ-pre),and group isoflurane postconditioning (group Ⅰ-post).Global cerebral I/R was induced by 4-vessel occlusion method described by Pulsinelli.1.5％ isoflurane was inhaled for 2h before ischemia in group Ⅰ-pre.1.5％ isoflurane was inhaled for 30 min immediately after onset of reperfusion in group Ⅰ-post.Neurological function was assessed and scored at 24h of reperfusion.The rats were sacrificed at 72h of reperfusion and hippocampi were isolated for determination of neuronal apoptosis (by TUNEL),caspase-3 expression (by immuno-histochemistry),and phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) protein expression (by using Western blot) in hippocampal tissues.Apoptotic rate was calculated.Results Compared with S group,the number of grid cross was decreased,twist time was prolonged,hanging time was shortened,apoptotic rate was increased,and the expression of caspase-3 and p-JNK protein was up-regulated in I/R,I-pre and Ⅰ-post groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared in I/R group,the number of grid cross was increased,twist time was shortened,hanging time was prolonged,apoptotic rate was decreased,and the expression of caspase-3 and p-JNK protein was down-regulated in Ⅰ-pre and Ⅰ-post groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with I/R group,the number of grid cross was decreased,hanging time was shortened,apoptotic rate was increased,and the expression of caspase-3 was up-regulated (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant changes in the expression of p-JNK protein were found in Ⅰ-post group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Isoflurane postconditioning can reduce cerebral I/R injury,the efficacy is weaker than that of preconditioning and the mechanism is related to activation of JNK signal transduction pathway and inhibition of neuronal apoptosis in hippocampus of rats.

Objective To study the effect of auricular-plaster and meridian-pressing instrument on the prevention of gallstones recurrence after stone removeol.Methods 120 cases which were after endoscopic minimally cholecystolithotomy were selected and randomly divided into the control group and treatment group.All cases were observed for 3 years.Results This research altogether fell off 6 cases,including 2 cases in the control group and 4 cases in the treatment group.The treatment group's gallbladder wall (2.13 ± 0.36)mm was more thinner than the control group's(3.21 ± 0.40)mm,the treatment contract function was more strenghen than the control group,and the gallstone recurrence after stone removeol of the treatment was more smaller.Conclusion Aricular-plaster and meridian-pressing instrument can reduce inflammation of the gallbladder wall,enhance the gallbladder contraction function,and prevent the recurrence of gallstone.

Objective:To predict the dose of lumbosacral spine (LS) and pelvic bone marrow (PBM) based on kernel density estimation (KDE) in patients with gynecological tumors.Methods:Fifteen patients with gynecological tumors receiving radiotherapy plans with dose limitation for LS and PBM in our hospital were selected as training data for machine learning. Another 10 cases were selected as the data for model validation. The minimum directional distance between the dose point in the organs and the edge of the planned target volume for the LS and PBM was calculated. Model training was performed by KDE. The accuracy of the model prediction was evaluated by the root mean square error. The model was utilized to predict the actual planned doses of the LS and PBM, and a linear fitting was performed on the predicted dose volume histogram (DVH) and actual results. The prediction effect was assessed by the goodness of fit R 2. Results:In terms of the DVH parameters required by the planner, the prediction doses from the model were similar to those of the verification plans: the difference of PBM V 40Gy was 2.0%, the difference of the mean dose was 1.6 Gy, and the difference of LS V 10Gy was -0.4%. In the unrequired DVH parameters, except for the PBM V 10Gy, the predicted values of the model were significantly high. The difference between the DVH predicted by the model and the actual plan was small, and the R 2 of the LS and PBM were 0.988 and 0.995, respectively. Conclusions:The model based on KDE method can accurately predict the doses of the LS and PBM. This model can also be used as a method to ensure the quality of the plan, and improve the consistency and quality of the plan.

Objective To compare the mid- and long-term results of tricuspid valve (TV) repair with or without an annuloplasty ring. Methods Two hundred seventy-seven patients underwent TV repair at our division (Sep. 2001 to Sep. 2008) ,of which 203 had, predominantly, a De Vega or Kay procedure (non-ring group) and 74had an annuloplasty with an artificial ring (ring group). TV pathology mainly was functional (secondary) and several with rheumatic leaflets involvement. Concomitant procedures consisted of mitral valve surgery in all patients,aortic valve surgery in 81 ,and coronary bypass in 19. Clinical and echocardiographic data followed for 1.5 to 3.5years were obtained. Results Postoperationally,the mid-term(1.5 years) follow-up was 100% completed and the long-term follow-up for 3. 5 years was 89. 9%. The recurrence of TV regurgitation (TR) of moderate and lower degree was not significantly different(χ2 = 1.3128, P= 0.26) in the 1.5 years follow-up between the two group,whereas the recurrence of TR of moderate to severity degree was significantly less in the ring group (χ2 =5. 8159,P =0.023).In the long term follow up,the TR in the ring group (25%) was significantly lower than that of 15% in the non-ring group (χ2 = 4. 9328, P = 0.036) . There are higher proportion of patients developing to moderate TR in the non ring group(34%) than in the ring group (10%) (χ2 =7. 9120,P =0.005). The TR developed fast in the ring group,increasing from 18% at 1.5 years follow up to 10% at 3.5 years follow up (χ2 = 2. 1327, P = 0.016),whereas it was relatively stable in the non-ring group,with 7% at 1.5 year follow up and 10% at 3.5 year follow up. Conclusions Placement of an annuloplasty ring in patients undergoing TV repair could remarkably improved the mid and long terum outcome. In clinic practice, we should be more positive to the functional TR and prefer to the procedure with annuloplasty ring.

Objective To discuss the cause,treatment and prevention of splenic injury during the urological surgery.Methods The clinical data of 16 cases with splenic injury in operation for renal and adrenal tumors in 496 cases were retrospectively analyzed.Nine cases were left radical nephrectomy,3 cases were left renal hamartoma enucleation,4 cases were left adrenal tumor resection.Damage located at outer edge of the spleen in 8 cases,the splenorenal ligament in 6 cases,and the splenic hilum in 2 cases.In these 16 cases,14 patients spared the spleen (Ⅰ Grade injury 8 cases,Ⅱ grade 6 cases).The injuryed spleen was directly pressed with hemostatic gauze in 3 cases; 5 patients used coagulation,bonding,hemostatic gauze to stop bleeding; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injury used U-shaped suture and coated with fibrin glue,then compressed with hemostatic gauze to stop bleeding; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injuries with the greater omentum stitched into the seam,sprayed biological glue,were compressed with gelatin sponge; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injury underwent splenic artery branch ligation.The other 2 cases (1 Ⅱ grade and 1 Ⅲ grade) underwent splenectomy.Results All of the 16 patients were cured and followed up for 6 months to 5 years.There was no delayed bleeding of spleen and splenic dysfunction.One patient died of tumor recurrence 6 months after operation.Conclusions Splenic injury is a common complication during urological surgery,especially the tumor is large or adhered to spleen in the upper pole of left kidney.Once spenic injury occurs,doctors should choose the right treatment plan according to surgical injury,and try to save the spleen.
