Objective To investigate the feasability of resorbable porcine-derived, xenogeneic aortas acelullar tissue matrix (ACTM) to be used as scaffold for cervical esophageal defect repair in a dog model. Methods Esophageal segmental defect measuring 5cm in length were created by surgical resection in 6 mature Chinese mongrel health dogs, then the defect were repaired with aorta acelullar tissue matrix (ACTM). The animals were kept alive for periods. The healing process was observed. Results There no death after perioperative period, one dog had anastomotic leakage. one dog was died of esophagus rupture as the result of esophageal dilation. Submucosal tissue regeneration and abundant neovascularization were found at 2 weeks. The squamous epithelium covered the most part of grafts surface in dogs killed after 4 weeks. 12 weeks later the squamous epithelium comprising 8 to 12 layers, both esophageal glands and muscle tissue were found. The graft material itself was mostly absorbed and could not be identified by naked eyes in the dogs killed after 12 weeks. Conclusion ACTM show promise as an ideal treatment option for esophageal repair.

Objective To identify clinical prognostic predicators and surgery indicator of stage IIIb-T_4 in patients with lung cancer patients whose tumor invaded heart, main vessel or carina. Methods From 1988 to 2000,151 patients with pathological stage IIIb-T_4 lung cancer who underwent resection by Shandong Provincial Hospital were analyzed as control samples, 112 patients with pathological stage IIIa-T_3N_1M_0 who underwent resection at the same time were also analyzed. Factors were estimated from the date of operation using the Kaplan-Meier and Log rank analysis. The Cox regression model evaluated the influence of factors on the survival. Results The median survival period were 26.1 months and the overall of 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survivals of the 151 patients were 73.5%, 33.1% and 16.6% respectively.The significant prognostic factors (P

Objective To evaluate the outcomes of transanal coloanal pull-through with resection of the internal anal sphincter in neonates and infants with Hirschsprung's disease.Methods Transanal coloanal pull-through with resection of the internal anal sphincter was performed on 101 neonates or infants with Hirschsprung's disease in our hospital.An incision slightly longer than one-half of the rectal circumference was made at the dentate line.Then,the muscular layer of the anterior rectal wall was dissected and separated upwards from the submucosal layer;meanwhile that of the posterior wall was also separated upwards along the rectal longitudinal muscles.After the muscular layer was separated to the level of the peritoneal reflection,a radial operation was performed by resecting the internal anal sphincter and muscle sheath of the posterior rectal wall.Results The operation was accomplished successfully in all the patients with less than 10 ml of intraoperative blood loss.The operation time ranged from 45 to 190 min(mean,90 min).No complications,including urine retention,incision infection,and anastomotic stenosis,occurred.Two patients(2/86,2.3%) developed enterocolitis after the operation.The incidence of fecal soiling was 27%(22/82) at 2 months after the operation,and then decreased to 4%(3/82) at 6 months.Anorectal manometry was performed on 78 patients at 1,2,3,and 6 months postoperatively.The results demonstrated that the anal resting pressure after the operation was significantly lower than that before the operation(P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors of nosocomial infection among child tumor patients with post-surgery chemotherapy.METHODS A total of 312 child tumor cases with post-surgery chemotherapy in the pediatric ward during from Dec 2004 to Dec 2008 were retrospectively reviewed.And 16 variables such as age,diagnosis,white blood cell count and nosocomial infections were studied.The data were analyzed with the single factorial ?2 test and multifactorial Logistic-regression analysis.RESULTS The incidence of nosocomial infection was 27.56%.The length of hospitalization,the white blood cell count,the neutrophil cell count and the invasive operation were found as independent risk factors of the nosocomial infection.CONCLUSIONS Shortening the hospitalization length,increasing the white blood cell and the neutrophil cell count and avoiding the unnecessary invasive operation will decrease the nosocomial infection.

Objective Analysis the features of extracolonic cancer of HNPCC.Method 32 families with HNPCC were registered and followed up.Results Among 12 families with typical HNPCC,8 cases in 6 families and 1 case of nontypical HNPCC families developed extracolonic cancer. Endometrial and gastric cancers are the most common cancers.Conclusions The extracolonic cancers are the important part in the cancer spectum of HNPCC. Among Chinese families, endometrial and gastric cancers are more common.

Objective To investigate the clinical safety of preoperative lymphatic chemotherapy in the treatment of reetal cancer.Methods The regional and systemic symptoms,postoperatwe stoma healing,haematogenesis.functions of hean,liver and kidney after lymphatic chemotherapy,and the level of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,CD(16+56)+in blood 30 minutes before and 48 hours after lymphatic chemotherapv were detected.Results There were no significant effects of lymphatic chemotherapy on the regional and systemic symptoms,postoperative stoma healing,haematogenesis and the functions of heart,liver and kidney.The level of CD4+/CD8+48 hours after lymphatic chemotherapy was significantly increased(t=7.145,P＜0.05),while no significant changes of CD3+,CIM+,CD8+,CD(16+56)+were detected(t=1.782,1.151,1.184,0.955,P＞0.05),when compared with those 30 minutes before lymphatic chemotherapy.Conclusions Preoperative lymphatic chemotherapy is safe and can enhance patients'immunity in early stage.

Background Orthokeratology has been proved to temporarily alter the equivalent sphere,but its effects on visual quality deserve attention.Objective The present study was to investigate the visual quality after overnight orthokeratology in pre-adolescent myopes.Methods Written informed consent was obtained form each subject prior to entering into this series.A descriptive study design was used.One hundred and fifty eyes of 76 teenagers aged (14.90± 1.24)years with low and moderate myopia (-2.79 ± 0.82)D were included in the study.Fitted with Ortho-K contact lens,the lens was wore every night for over 8 hours.Subjective refraction,uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA),contrast sensitivity function,corneal-topography,and aberrometry were examined before,1 week and 3 months after the initiation of orthokeratology.Visual quality was generally evaluated by comparing before wearing,1 week and 3 months after wearing using the National Eye Institute refractive error quality of life instrument (NEI-RQL-42TM).All the procedures were performed by the same clinician.Results Spherical equivalent refractions were (-0.33± 1.02) D and (-0.26 ± 0.60) D 1 week and 3 months after orthokeratology,showing significant decline in comparison with (-2.79±0.82) D of before orthokeratology (P =0.001,0.001).However,no considerable difference was seen between 1 week and 3 months after orthokeratology (P=0.161).Contrast sensitivity function was significantly different in all spatial frequencies before wearing,1 week and 3 months after wearing,and those of 1 week and 3 months after wearing were significantly lower than those of before wearing (1 week:3 cpd P =0.001,6 cpd P=0.001,12 cpd P＜0.05,18 epd P＜0.05 ;3 months:3 cpd P=0.001,6 cpd P=0.001,12 cpd P＜0.05,18 cpd P＜0.05).There was no significant change in contrast sensitivity function between 1 week and 3 months of orthokeratology (P＞0.05).Flat K,steep K and corneal eccentricity (e) were significantly reduced (P =0.000),and surface asymmetry index (SAI) and surface regularity index (SRI) were significantly improved after orthokeratology in comparison with before orthokeratology (both P =0.001).Root mean square (RMS) of total higher-order,third-order and fourth-order aberrations were significantly increased (P＜0.05),but RMS of whole aberration and second-order aberrations significantly decreased after orthokeratology (P＜ 0.05).There were no significant changes in the fifth-order,sixth-order and seventh-order aberration among pre-wear,1 week and 3 months after orthokeratology.Scales of dark to bright,nocturnal driving,glare,visual fluctuate and halo were lower than those before orthokeratology (P＜0.05).The scales of visual fluctuate between 1 month and 3 months after orthokeratology had significant differences (P＜0.01),while the rest of the scales had no significant differences (P＞0.05).Conclusions Orthokeratology can reduce myopic diopter 1 week after orthokeratology.The overnight wearing of fitted orthokeratology can decrease contrast sensitivity and increase corneal surface irregularity and RMS of third-order and fourth-order.Compared with spectacles,orthokeratology reduces subjective visual quality,especially nocturnal quality.
