Objective Implement etimicin polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) bone cement implantation treatment for the postoperative patients suitable with intramedullary infection after open fracture surgery,and observe the efficacy,provide new ideas for clinical treatment.Methods Selected 60 patients in Second People's Hospital of Kunshan from Jan.2009 to Dec.2016 whose infection was confined to the fracture caused by trauma after the internal fixation.Thirty cases of etimicin bone cement implantation were treated group,30 cases of CEMEX GEN antibiotic bone cement (containing gentamicin) implantation were control group.The internal fixation was taken out of 9 cases of autogenous PMMA bone graft with bone cement cover in the treatment group,debrided and taken first phase of bone grafting internal fixation combined with etimicin PMMA bone cement,21 patients with direct bone cement filling underwent surgery to remove the internal fixation devices,debridement cavity filling etimicin bone cement.Six months later when the infection was controlled,the second phase of autogenous bone graft fixation was done.Ten cases of autogenous bone graft with bone cement cover in the control group,debrided and taken first phaes of bone grafting internal fixation combined with CEMEX GEN antibiotic bone cement (containing gentamicin).Twenty patients with direct bone cement filling underwent surgery to remove the internal fixation devices,debridement cavity filling CEMEX GEN antibiotic bone cement (containing gcntamicin).Six months later when the infection was controlled,the second phase of autogenous bone graft fixation was done.SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis.The t test was used for measurement data,and the counting data were checked by chi-square.Results The pathogens were mainly staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci.Thirty-seven strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected with MIC ≤ 2 mg/L in the treatment group,which was in the safe and effective drug concentration range of etimicin(MIC ≤ 12 mg/L).Thirty strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected with MIC ≤ 8 mg/L in the control group,which was in the safe and effective drug concentration range of gentamicin(MIC ≤ 12 mg/L).The average follow-up period of the treatment group was 11.2 months (range 8 to 24 months),29 cases were controlled.The average follow-up period of the control group was 15.6 months (range 6-35 months),24 cases were controlled.The difference of infection control rate between treatment group and control group was statistically significant (x2 =4.043,P =0.044).Conclusion The complete debridement,a lot of washing,and etimicin bone cement implantation can effectively control the infection after the internal fixation of fracture and reduce the recurrence,which can be used in clinical practice.

【Objective】 To investigate the clinical application of self-developed magnetic anchoring device for assisting thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. 【Methods】 Eleven patients underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary assisted with resection magnetic anchoring technique at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University, from March to May 2019. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The operation time, blood loss, blood transfusion volume, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications were recorded. 【Results】 There were seven male and four female patients, with the average age of (51.6±13.9) years (range from 22 to 69 years). Three single-port and eight single-utility-port thoracoscopic surgeries were performed. Magnetic instruments provided good surgical field exposure in all operations. Among 11 surgeries, one was converted to thoracotomy and one to three-hole surgery due to enlargement and adhesion of hilar lymph nodes. The operation time was (107.8±63.1) minutes (range of 27-182 minutes). The blood loss was 50 (10-50)mL (range of 5-1 000 mL). No blood transfusion was needed during the operation. The postoperative hospital stay was (5.0±1.8) days (range of 3-9 days). No postoperative complications occurred in all the patients. 【Conclusion】 Magnetic anchor technique can effectively alleviate the "chopstick effect" in thoracoscopic surgery. Magnetic anchor technique is safe and feasible in assisting thoracoscopic pulmonary resection.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of using magnetic beads to locate small pulmonary nodules. Methods Twelve rabbits were randomly divided into two groups, 6 in each group. One group underwent thoracotomy after anesthesia and the other group underwent percutaneous puncture under the guidance of X-ray. One and two cylindrical tracer magnets (magnetic beads) with a diameter of 1 mm and a height of 3 mm were injected adjacent to the imaginary pulmonary nodules in left lung in each group. The magnetic beads beside the imaginary nodules were attracted by a pursuit magnet with a diameter of 9 mm and a height of 19 mm. The effectiveness of localization by magnetic beads were determined by attraction between tracer and pursuit magnets. Results All processes were uneven in 12 rabbits. There was micro hemorrhage and no hematoma in the lung tissue at the injection site of the magnetic beads. When tracked with the pursuit magnets, there was one bead divorce in cases that one bead was injected, but no migration or divorce of the magnetic beads in cases that two magnetic beads were simultaneously injected to localize the small pulmonary nodules. Conclusion The feasibility of using magnetic beads to locate small pulmonary nodules has been preliminarily verified.
