Objective To evaluate the effects of Husni's operation in treatment of femoropopliteal vein occlusion.Method Eight consecutive patients were operated on for femoropopliteal vein occlusion from 1988 to 2000.Results Six patients were followed up, the mean follow-up period was 74 months. Four cases failed as the graft had thrombosed. Conclusions Careful selection of candidates for Husni's procedure is the key-point for satisfactory results. The operation should be performed early before the muscle pump disfunction occurs. Elastic compression of the lower limb may be important.

OBJECTIVETo provide quantitative foundation for the diagnosis of atlanto-axial rotatory subluxation by analyzing the various imaging features of normal atlanto-axial joints in neutral position and rotary functional position on the MSCT images.

METHODSForty-one normal volunteers were examined by CT on the atlanto-axial joint in neutral position and rotary functional position. By the observation and measurement of atlanto-dental interval (ADI), lateral atlanta-dental space (LADS), VBLADS and rotating angle of atlas on dentate (RAAD), the imaging manifestations and anatomical characteristics were analyzed and compared. In order to compare VBLADS and RAAD and make a correlation analysis between different age groups, 51 normal volunteers were divided into two groups: age younger than 45 years old group and age older than or equal to 45 years old group.

RESULTSThe dens in neutral position deviated in an angle range of (3.22±0.89)°. The articular facets of lateral atlantoaxial joint in rotary functional position had rotatory displacement and the range of the relative rotation angle was (33.85± 2.79)°. Through the correlation analysis of matching data, it could be concluded that there was no correlation between atlantoaxial relative rotation angle and VBLADS within a certain range. There were statistically differences of atlantoaxial relative rotation angle in rotary functional position between two groups.

CONCLUSIONMSCT imaging in rotary functional position can clearly show the anatomical structure and rotation function of a normal atlanto-axial joint, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis of atlanto axial rotatory subluxation.

Objective To explore clinicopathological features and prognosis of juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT).Methods Patients were divided into JGCT group (n=10) and the adult granulosa cell tumor (AGCT) group (n=10).The tumor samples were examined by HE and immunohistochemical methods.Results Age of JGCT group ranged from 7-31 years (average 20.5 years);90% occurred before 30 years old.Diameter of the tumors ranged from 5.5 cm to 15.0 cm,average 9.8 cm.Characteristic features included nodular arrangement,irregular formation of follicles containing muein and luteinization, atypical hyperplasia of ceils and high mitotic activity.Nuclei grooved and Call-Exner bodies were absent or rare.Survival rate was 90% in 5 years.Age of AGCT group ranged from 14-74 years (average 45.1 years);AGCT occurred mostly in over 40 years old.Atypical hyperplasia of cell,mitotic activity and luteinization were absent or rare.Nuclei grooved and eall-Exner bodies were common.Survival rate was 100% in 5 years.Immunohistochemical staining were positive for p53 at 70%,PCNA at 90% in 10 cases of JGCT and p53 at 10%,PCNA at 20% in 10 cases of AGCT(P

Objective To investigate the effects of comprehensive pain management on pains and recovery of knee function of patients who hadundergone total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods A total of 50 patients who had undergone single-knee TKA surgery were selected and divided into 2 groups of 25 patients each:the study group and the control group.The control group was given patient-controlled epidural analgesia while the study group was given comprehensive pain management.The two groups were compared in terms of score on pain within 7 days after operation,knee joint activity and the incidence of adverse reaction within 10 days after operation(the 1st,3rd,7th,10th day).Results Within 7 days,the scores on pain in the study were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The scores on the knee joint activity in the study group on the 1st,3rd,7th,10th day were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05)and the incidences of adverse reaction were significantly lower as well (P<0.05).Conclusion Comprehensive pain management is effective for post-surgery pain control and the hastened TKA patients, and the improved quality of life.

Objective To identify Oxytropis falcate Bunge from its adulterants;To secure the quality and clinical efficacy of Oxytropis falcate Bunge. Methods Genomic DNA was extracted. ITS2 fragment of nuclear gene was amplified and sequenced. The homology of the sequences was analyzed, and the related data were analyzed by software MEGA. The NJ (neighbor-joining) tree was constructed based on ITS2 sequence. Results The intraspecific genetic distance of Oxytropis falcate Bunge (K2P distance) was 0, and the interspecific genetic distance (K2P distance) between Oxytropis falcate Bunge and its adulterants ranged among 0.068-0.084. The constructed NJ tree showed that ITS2 could identify Oxytropis falcate Bunge from its adulterants correctly. Conclusion ITS2 barcode can be used to identify Oxytropis falcate Bunge from its adulterants effectively, and this study provides important molecular evidence for the identification of Oxytropis falcate Bunge and safety in its clinical use.

Authentications of Chinese herbal medicine have a critical effect in Chinese clinical medicine. DNA molecular marker, as an important component for true or false authentication, is more and more widely used in iden-tification of Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, many new methods for authentication of Chinese medici-nal materials are continuously emerging. But the systematically comparative analysis of these new methods is lack. The present study taking Lonicera japonica as an example, systematically compared principles, characteristics, ex-periment methods, detection time and the application scope of express sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR), polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR), DNA barcoding and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and put forward corresponding improve-ment opinions. This study can help to screen appropriate approach for rapid authentication of L. japonica and offer demonstrating to other Chinese herbal medicines.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the feasibility and analgesic effect of ultrasound guided intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) blockade in patients with persistent pain after radical mastectomy with ICBN preservation.Methods In a total of 53 following-up female cases,aged 18-55 years,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ,receiving radical mastectomy with ICBN preservation during January,2014 to February,2016,19 patients complained persistent pain in the lateral chest,axilla and/or upper arm more than 3 months after the surgery were enrolled.ICBN blockade was performed using 0.5% ropivacine 10 mL injected in the potential space between the superior of pectoralis minor muscle and the inferior of serratus anterior muscle in the second intercostal space guided by ultrasound.Visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied to assess the pain intensity at rest,on movement,and with 100 kPa pressure before blockage and 30 min thereafter,and then the pain intensity (SPI) was calculated.All nerve blockade-related adverse events including local anesthetic-related allergy,central nervous system and cardiovascular toxicity were recorded.Seven-day follow-ups were required in all patients to assess the pain intensity.Results All 19 cases completed ICBN blockade guided by ultrasound,of which 17 cases completed the seven-day follow-ups.The mean difference in SPI was-9.19 VAS points (95%CI-11.24--7.14,P<0.01).Compared with each mean VAS and SPI before block,all that after block at day 1-6 were significantly decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05).There were 14(82.4%),13(76.5%),7(41.2%) and 3(17.6%)cases that SPI was decreased over 5 points after block at day 1-4.No nerve blockade-related adverse event was observed.Conclusion Ultrasound guided ICBN blockade can relieve persistent post-mastectomy pain safely and effectively.
