ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy and health economics between open choledocholithotomy and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) these two operations on patients with choledocholithiasis. Methods177 patients (aged 20-75 yrs, with simple choledocholithiasis on medical imaging,who had not been treated with either biliary tract surgery or EST, and had no severe complications)were treated electively at the Beijing Friendly Hospital and Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from 2002 to 2009. These patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment they received: open operation (n=62), or EST (n=115). There was no significant difference in sex, age, ASA class,symptoms before operation, and complications before operation between the 2 groups. The following data were compared: operation time, blood loss, size and number of stone, duration of postoperative ileus, duration of abdominal pain, incidence of postoperative complications, duration of hospitalization, cost of hospitalization and operation, and incidence of residual stones. ResultsFor the open operation group, the operation time was 50-300 min (M=110), the blood loss was 10-300 ml (M=60), the duration of post-operative ileus was 24-96 h(M=48), the duration of abdominal pain was 0-96 h(M=48), the duration of hospitalization was 8-70 d(M=21), the duration of hyperamylasemia after operation was 8.1％ and the cost for operation was 546-2498 yuan (M=1503. 2). For the EST group, the operation time was 10-120 min (M=25), the blood loss was 2-40 ml (M=10),the duration of post-operative ileus was 1-48 h (M=3), the duration of abdominal pain was 0-144 h (M-0), the period of hospitalization was 5-56 d (M=17), the duration of hyperamylasemia after operation was 40％ and the cost for operation was 2028-5728 yuan (M=2028). There were significant differences in every aspect between these 2 groups of patients. Conclusions EST has a significantly shorter operation time, less blood loss, shorter duration of postoperative ileus, shorter duration of abdominal pain, shorter duration of hospitalization. However, EST had a significantly higher incidence of hyperamylasemia after operation and the cost was higher than open operation.

[Objective]To recommend the detailed operative skill of lower cervical transpedicle screw and peri-operative experience.[Method]From July 2004 to April 2006,based on anatomical research of cadaver,15 cases involved lower cervical had been treated by transpedicle screws and plate or rod,which assisted in fluoroscopic moniter.Lateral mass needed be revealed completely,thus basilar part of superior articular process could be recognized.The central point of screw inserted were laid on the surface of lateral mass: 5mm inner to the outside border of lateral mass;3mm below to the inferior of superior articular process.Ball-like burr was used to de-cortical.Made a pathway with 2 mm hand-drill paralleled with the upper end-plate cartilage of the vertebra and maintain abduction angle about 40?～45? with middle line of the vertebra,self-designed pedicle probe was used to ensure safety tunnel of cancellated bone.3.5 mm cortical screws were adoption and thread was not recommend.[Result]Eightysix lower cervical pedicle screws had been inserted successfully in C3～7 vertebra,exclude a failed C4 screw.Average screws length was(26 + 1.6)mm and abduction angle based on postoperative CT scan was 37.9??5.4?.Abundant bleeding was occurred while built the pedicel pathway in 2 screws,and there were 6 screws showed perforation of the pedical wall refer to postoperative CT scan. No evidence indicated the complication about injury of vessel or nerve structure.[Conclusion] The technique of lower cervical transpedicle screw are relatively safet.Successful screw insertion depends on subtile sense of operation doctor's hand.

Conclusion The questionnaires, reliable andvalid, interface friendly and easy to operate, facilitate their use by patients with different backgrounds. The real-time occurrence and antomatic pooling of survey data render possible the automation of data collection in patient satisfaction surveys and evaluations.

Objective To investigate the polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor(VDR)gene in relation to primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT). Method Polymerase chain reaction and restriction analysis were used to determine VDR genotypes in 30 patients with PHPT and in normal subjects.ResultsThe frequency distribution of VDR genotypes in PHPT patients was 0 in BB,1(3.3%) in Bb, 29(96.7%) in bb; and in normal persons was 2(3.3%) in BB, 11(18.4%) in Bb, and 47(78.3%) in bb. There was a significant difference between PHPT patients and normal persons in distribution of BB, Bb, bb genotypes (P≤0.05).ConclusionsThere is some distribution alterations of VDR gene polymorphism in PHPT patients.

Objective To investigate the structural changes during the early stage of spinal cord injury,and the relationships between these structural changes and patients' motor recovery.Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with spinal cord injury collected from 2012 October to 2014 March were analyzed retrospectively.The spinal cord injury patients were split into two groups (Good recoverers group and Poor recoverers group) according to the clinical outcome of motor recovery at 6 months follow-up,and there were 10 Good recoverers (ASIA grade:1 A,4 B,3 C,and 2 D) and 15 Poor recoverers (ASIA grade:7 A,3 B,3 C,and 2 D).The study also recruited 25 matched healthy controls.The mean age of Good recoverers,Poor recoverers and healthy controls were 37.9± 13.9,35.8± 11.5 and 36.5±9.3,respectively.Structural MRI was used to investigate the regions with brain structural changes among the three groups.Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationships between these structural changes and patients' motor recovery.Results Compared to healthy controls group,both poor recoverers and good recoverers had significantly decreased cortical thickness in the bilateral primary motor cortex.Poor recoverers exhibited more serious and widespread structural damages,in addition to reduced cortical thickness in the primary motor cortex,poor recoverers also showed decreased cortical thickness in the right SMA and premotor cortex when compared to healthy controls.Compared to the healthy controls group,poor recoverers showed reduced white matter volume in the right primary motor cortex and posterior limb of the internal capsule;good recoverers showed no significant difference in white matter microstructure.Furthermore,these structural changes at the internal capsule and primary motor cortex were associated with the motor recovery rate at 6 months follow-up (r=0.75,P＜ 0.001;r=0.76,P＜ 0.001,respectively).Conclusion These findings suggest that spinal cord injury causes significant anatomical changes in the human sensorimotor system in the early phase,and these structural changes directly affect the motor recovery of spinal cord injury.Future treatment aimed at promoting neural function recovery of spinal cord injury patients should pay close attention to the injured brain.

ObjectiveTo explore the biological features of colorectal adenoma with chicken-skin mucosa ( CSM ) and its clinical significance.MethodsExpression of cell proliferation markers ( Ki-67 and COX-2) and apoptosis-related factors ( survivin and caspase-3) in normal colorectal mucosa,colorectal adenoma without CSM,colorectal adenoma with CSM and colorectal adenocarcinoma were detected by immunohistochemistry SP method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).ResultsImmunohistochemical results revealed a decreased trend in expressions of Ki-67 and COX-2 from colorectal adenocarcinoma through colorectal adenoma with and without CSM to normal colorectal mucosa,while the expressions of survivin and caspase-3 showed an increased trend.By ELISA,the expressions of Ki-67,COX-2,surviving and caspase-3 showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05 ) between colorectal adenoma with CSM and coloreetal adenocarcima,while these variables were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05) between coloreetal adenoma with and without CSM,so as well between normal colorectal mucosa and other 3 groups.ConclusionThe biological characteristics of colorectal adenoma with CSM are different from those without,showing an activated cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis with increased carcinogenesis risk.

Objective To know the cognition,attitude and needs among middle-aged andaged women with urinary incontinence(UI) in communities. Methods A questionnaire survey wasconducted in 66 middle-aged and aged women with UI in two communities and the results were an-alyzed. Results Most patients lacked the knowledge of UI;UI had impact on their physical andmental heahh.Must patients wished to know about the treatment knowledge,and health education of med-ical staff was the most promising way.The mastering degree of knowledge about disease was not related tothe serious degree of disease and age,but was positively related to education degree and economic income.Conclusions We should publicize the knowledge about UI and provide health education and emotionalsupport to patients.And we should emphasize the training about UI among medical staff.

Objective To discuss methods and clinical efficacy of patients treated with arthrolysis for posttraumatic elbow stiffness with heterotopic ossification.Methods The study involved 16 patients with posttraumatic elbow stiffness combined with heterotopic ossification treated by arthrolysis between June 2007 and June 2011.There were 11 males and 5 females,at average age of 29.6 years (range,18-53 years).Time from injury to surgery averaged 10.7 months (range,8-14 months).Other than medial approach for only one patient,the rest adopted medial to lateral approaches to have a complete clearance of periarticular heterotopic ossification tissue and hyperplastic tissue as well as partial resection of articular capsules and ligaments.Besides,seven patients were fixed using hinged external fixators.After surgery,three weeks of oral celecoxib was given for the patients.Rehabilitation was started immediately after operation.Range of motion (ROM) of the elbow and Mayo elbow pcrformance score (MEPS) were used to determine clinical results.Results All patients were followed up for 8-17 months (mean 13.4 months).ROM of the elbow (extension lag,flexion,pronation and supination)showed an improvement from (45.2-3.5)° to (27.2 ±8.4)°,(68.1-11.8)° to (106.8 ± 16.4)°,(55.8 ± 8.2) ° to (80.5 ± 3.3) °,and (53.7 ± 6.3) ° to (83.1 ± 5.3) ° respectively (P ＜ 0.01).MEPS increased from (46.8 ±7.0) points to (83.2 ±9.4) points after operation (P ＜0.01).According to MEPS criterion,the results were excellent in seven patients,good in five and fair in four.Conclusion With respect to posttraumatic elbow stiffness with heterotopic ossification,satisfactory therapeutic results can be achieved by thorough preoperative evaluation,strict control of surgical indications,appropriate selection of intraoperative techniques and early systematic rehabilitation.
