Objective In order to improve the surgical treatment for midpiece esophageal carcinoma, different surgical ways were com-pared. Methods From January 2010 to June 2012, 110 patients with midpiece esophageal cancer in our hospital were divided into the Ivor-Lewis group (55 cases) and the Sweet group (55 cases) according to different surgical ways, that is to say Ivor-Lewis surgery via right chest and Sweet surgery through left chest. Length of specimens, rang of tumor invasion, distance of removal, incidence of residual carcinoma in the esophageal edges, number of lymph nodes removed in chest and abdomen, and positive rate of carcinoma infiltrated lymph nodes were compared between the two groups. Questions of surgical anatomy were investigated through questionnaire among surgeons of the two groups, and the scores of both groups were analysed. Results The length of resected specimens and number of lymph nodes removed in Ivor-Lewis group was significantly lager than that of the Sweet group (P<0. 01). The positive rate of carcinoma infiltrated lymph nodes in Ivor-Lewis group was 1. 82%, which was significantly lower than 21. 82% in the Sweet group (P<0. 01). Results of questionnaire showed surgeons have gieven higher scores to Ivor-Lewis group. Conclusion Ivor-Lewis surgery is recommend for upper and midpiece esophageal carcinoma while Sweet surgery is more suitable for cardial and lower esophageal cancer.

Objective To explore the expression and regulatory mechanism of hypoxia inducible factor-1?(HIF-1?)during fracture healing. Methods Mouse models of tibia fracture healing were established,and callus samples were collected 1,3,7,14,21 and 28 days after fracture.The development of callus and new bone formation were evaluated with roentgenology,Micro-CT and tetracycline double labeling method,and the expression of HIF-1?,vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),Runx2 and ALP in callus were detected with RT-PCR,Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.The relationship between HIF-1? and fracture healing was analysed. Results The expression of HIF-1? was detected in cells in the fracture sites as well as in evolved osteoblasts,chondrocytes and osteocytes in early callus under hypoxia.The highest expression rate of HIF-1? achieved on the 7th day after fracture,lasted for about 7 days,then decreased gradually,and returned to intact level on the 28th day after fracture.The expression tendency of VEGF resembled that of HIF-1?.Bone formation activity was more active in early callus,and the callus volume peaked on the 14th day after fracture and decreased gradually.The mineralization of callus mainly took place in the late healing period(14th to 28th day after fracture).Conclusion Cells involved in fracture healing are hypoxia-responsive cells,which express HIF-1?.HIF-1? can regulate cell state and function,and can promote angiogenesis so as to play a crucial role in fracture healing.

Objective To discuss the value of the posterior long segments pedicle screws fixation in surgical treatment of thoracolumbar fracture-dislocation,and summarize the experience.Method s We reviewed the clinical information of 27 cases of thoracolumbar fracture-dislocation since July 2007 to March 2010; all the cases were treated with the posterior long segments pedicle screws fixation.In these cases,20were male,7 were female.And the age ranged from 18 to 58 years old (average age was 35 years).The posterior approach was used,and the pedicle screws were inserted into the 2 vertebrae above and below the fractured vertebrae.Posterior decompression and bone grafts for fusion were also accomplished during the operation.Results Follow-up ranged from 7 to 25 months,averaging 14 months.Completely restoration of the dislocation was got in 25 cases and the spine sequence resumed to nearly normal.One case with lateral dislocation failed to complete correction; another 1 case operated 20 days after surgery failed to complete correction of forward dislocation.At the last follow-up,the mean Cobb angle loss was 3 degrees,the height of the vertebral had obvious loss compared with that of post-operation.The loosen of screw nut was found during the follow-up,but no dislocation and secondary deformity were observed after fixation.There was no death,no infection.Conclusions The technique of posterior long segments pedicle screw fixation is of great value in the clinical applications,since it has the following advantages:the operation is simple,trauma is small,the fixation is firm,good restoration of fracture and dislocations can be easily got,and most importantly,it can effectively prevent long-term vertebral height loss and the backward protruding deformity.

Purpose Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MR is a method developed in recent years which can quantitatively evaluate the diffusion and perfusion characteristics of microenvironment.The aim of this study was to investigate the application value of IVIM in assessing relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 27 patients with RRMS confirmed clinically at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from Jun.2015 to Jan.2016 was carried out in the study.All the patients underwent the conventional MRI and IVIM MRI based on multi-b-factor (b values of 10,20,30,40,50,100,150,200,350,500,650,800,1000 s/mm2) with 3.0T MR scanner.The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),ADCslow,ADCfast and f values were evaluated since they could reflect the diffusion and perfusion status of RRMS lesions and normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) regions.Results The ADC,ADCslow,ADCfast and f values of the non-enhancing (NE) lesions were significantly higher than those in the NAWM regions both near and far from NE lesions (P＜0.05).However,the ADC,ADCslow,ADCfast and f values in the NAWM regions close to the NE lesions had no significant differences with those in the NAWM regions far from the lesions (P＞0.05).Conclusion The IVIM MRI can measure the diffusion and perfusion status of the lesions and NAWM in RRMS patients,which,therefore,is helpful in speculation of the pathological changes of RRMS lesions and in its injury classification and identification.
