Objective In order to find the best methods for treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation through posterior approach microendoscopic discectomy. Methods The approach of operation by lamina arcus vertebrae space was used to remove ligamentum flavum not to removed lamina arcus vertebrae and other tissue in lateral recumbent position. Extraction of lumbar interverebral disc herniation was used in 113 cases. Results A follow-up study was performed after operation, ranged from 6 to 24 months with a mean duration of 12 months. According to Nakai standard, there were 107 cases scored "excellent" and 6 scored "good". Conclusion Microendoscopic discectomy by the approach of lamina arcus vertebrae space caused less injury and bleeding, and was safe for both surgery and anesthesia. It achieved successfully without affecting the spinal stability.

Objective To study the role of Th1/Th2 cytokine profile in the pathogenesis of recurrent genital herpes (RGH), and to find out the relationship between Th1/Th2 cytokines. Methods A two-colour immunofluorescent staining of cell surface antigen and intracellular cytokines (IL-2、 IL-10、 IL-12、 IFN－? and TNF－? ) in CD3＋ T-lymphocytes of 20 patients with RGH with flow cytometric analysis were performed. Results Compared to controls, patients with RGH showed a decreased number of CD3＋ T cells（ P0.05） . Conclusions RGH patients seem to have a predominance of Th2 cytokine profile, which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of RGH.

BACKGROUND: The effect of the treatment of long tubular bone defect by free vascularized fibular graft, especially when combined with monitoring island skin flap is definitely reliable. However, there is still the possibility of broken fibular graft with single fibular graft for repairing the long loading tubular bone.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect on the treatment of long femoral bone defect by combinatorial fibular graft with monitoring island skin flap.DESIGN: Before and after self-controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedic Spine Surgery, Guangzhou People's HospitalPARTICIPANTS: Totally 14 patients who wer treated for long femoral bone defect in the Department of Orthopaedic Spine Surgery were recruited between July 1995 and November 2003. Locus: distal part of the femur,5cases; middle part of the femur, 9cases.The length of bone defect was 6 to 28 cm.INTERVENTIONS: There were 7 cases of free vascularized bi-fibular graft transplantation with monitoring island skin flap. There were 7 cases of free vascularized fibular graft centralized with large segmental allograft.Monitoring island skin flap was 3 cm×5 cm, sectioned fibular was 16 to 32cm. Dry frozen bone of allograft was 12 to 28 cm. The wound and island skin were detected postoperatively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The living condition of bi-fibular graft or binding composite allograft with skin flap, morphology change of transplanted bone and loaded walking ability in patients with bone defect after operation.RESULTS: Totally 14 patients entered the result analysis. Seven cases in bi- fibular group were followed up for 3 years and 7 patients in the centralized graft group were followed up for 1 year. Fourteen cases detected by monitoring island skin flap all survived. One case in the centralized graft group presented yellow exudates 3 months after operation, and then the graft bone was taken out. Follow-up of the rest 6 patients showed that transplanted fibular bone was closely connected with allograft. The thickness of the transplanted bone was increased, shaped and similar with the diameter of the femur at the receptor. Patients in the two groups could walk with loading without walking stick. Transplanted bone has no fracture.CONCLUSION: Transplantation of free vascularized bi-fibular graft transplant or free vascularized fibular graft monitoring island skin flap binding to large segmental allograft can increase its structural strength through hypertrophy, decrease or avoid fracture of the transplanted graft fibula.

Objective To evaluate the changes of right ventricular (RV) volume and function by using single beat real-time three dimensional (3-D) echocardiography in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) before and after percutaneous closure. Methods During the period from July 2011 to Oct. 2013, a total of 45 patients with pure ostium secundum defect were admitted to authors’ hospital to receive percutaneous transcatheter closer. The patients were divided into ASD without pulmonary hypertension (PH) group (group A, n = 28) and ASD with PH group (group B, n = 17). By using 3-D echocardiography and right cardiac catheterization, the right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV), right ventricular end-systolic volume (RVESV), right ventricular stroke volume (RVSV), right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF), right ventricular cardiac output (RVCO), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and the mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) were determined before and after the percutaneous transcatheter closer. The results were compared between the two groups. Results After the treatment a statistically significant reduction in RVEDV, RVESV, RVSV and RVCO were seen in all patients (P < 0.05). In group A, RVEF decreased significantly after ASD closure when compared with that determined before transcatheter closer (P < 0.05), while no significant reduction in RVEF was seen in group B (P > 0.05). Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) decreased significantly in group B after ASD closure when compared with that obtained before Objective To evaluate the changes of right ventricular (RV) volume and function by using single beat real-time three dimensional (3-D) echocardiography in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) before and after percutaneous closure.

Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) decreased significantly in group B after ASD closure when compared with that obtained before transcatheter closer (P < 0.05). Conclusion Single beat real-time 3-D echocardiography is a newly-developed technique. This technique can quickly and accurately assess the right ventricular volume and function. Right ventricular volume will decrease after ASD closer. In ASD patients without PH the right ventricular function will decrease after ASD closer, while in ASD patients with PH the right ventricular function shows no changes after ASD closer although their PAP will decrease.

Objective To investigate how to improve the survival rate,and to avoid the serious complications in fat grafting.Methods Under comprehensive design of facial filling area,the fat was harvested by concentration in mesh;under the micro autologous fat transplantation gun with blunt needle injection technique,the fat was filled into the face to achieve the effect of improving the facial contour and the rejuvenation.From June 2014 to July 2015,78 patients with facial contour and facial soft tissue relaxation depression were treatment by the technique.Results The follow-up of 2 months to 1 year showed that 64 patients had the soft,young,significantly enhanced facial contour;7 patients had second times grafts and the remaining were satisfied.7 patients gave up the second times grafts because the other reasons.The surgical complications such as facial nerve injury and infection and embolism were not seen.Conclusions This technique by comprehensive design and purification of autogenous fat granules achieves a better effect on facial rejuvenation with fewer complications.
