Objective To report the treatment of 7 cases of carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS)with algesia.Methods One hundred and twenty eight cases of carpal tunnel syndrome within the period of March 2002 and March 2005 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 7 cases(4 female and 3 male)had algesia,4 cases were treated with endoscopic management of carpal tunnel release (ECTR) and 3 cases were treated with open management of carpal tunnel release(OCTR).These 7 cases were followed-up 1-4years(average 1.5 years)postoperatively.Results Two ECTR cases and 2 OCTR cases had bad therapeutic effect and the others had good effect.Both 2 bad-effect ECTR cases feel special pain when insert the catheter.Only inject Triamcinolone Acetonide-A within epineurium after completely release in the goodeffect OCTR ease.Conclusion CTS with algesia is a special type of CTS,the key to treat it is to protect epineurium.

Objective To investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H_2O_2) on apoptosis and calcium ion concentration of skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) in rats, and to explore the protective effect of erythropoietin (EPO).Methods The cultured SMSCs were divided into five groups: control group,H_2O_2 group, 10, 20 and 40 U/ml EPO intervention groups.Apoptosis rates and calcium ion concentration of SMSCs were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the morphology of apoptotic cells was observed by Hoechst33258 staining.Results The apoptosis rates showed significant differences (all P<0.05) among (1.93±0.57)% in control group, (22.13±1.79)% in H_2O_2 group, (16.47±2.53)%, (4.97±0.55)% and (2.93±0.47)% in 10, 20 and 40 U/ml EPO intervention groups, respectively.And calcium ion concentrations in SMSCs were 12.67 ±0.32, 27.90±0.06 and 44.53±0.93 in 10, 20 and 40 U/ml EPO intervention groups, respectively.There was significant difference in calcium ion concentration between H_2O_2 group and control group (9.70±0.09 vs.51.37± 0.64, P< 0.05).Morphology of apoptosis was observed by Hoeehst33258 dye stains in 10, 20 U/ml EPO intervention group and H_2O_2 group, while there were less apoptotic bodies in 40 U/ml EPO intervention group and control group.Conclusions EPO might have protective effects on SMSCs injured by H_2O_2 through inhibiting apoptosis and calcium ion releasing from SMSCs.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of urgent surgical correction for infra-cardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) in infants and children. Methods From July 2000 to April 2009, seventeen patients with infra-cardiac type of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection received surgical correction in our department. The age of patients ranged from 15 days to 3.7 months at admission, 9 patients ( 52.9 % ) were younger than 1 month of age. The mean body weight was (4.10 ±0.95) kg and was less than 5 kg in 15 patients (88.2%). Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) without cerebral perfusion was used in 13 patients (76%), and continuous hypothermic low-flow perfusion was used in4 (24%). Incisions on the left atrium and pulmonary veins were sutured without tension, and the width of the anastomosis was 2.5 to 4.0 cm. Results Urgent operations were performed in all patients and no early death occurred during surgery.Mean bypass time was 121.9 minutes ( ranging from 70 to 277 minutes) and mean aortic cross-clamp time was 44 minutes ( ranging from 30 to 74 minutes). 6 neonates had delayed wound closure after surgery and 4 had obvious pulmonary edema. Inhalation of nitric oxide was given to 5 cases for the management of significant postoperative pulmonary hypertension, while peritoneal dialysis was performed in 2 cases with temporary renal failure. Transient atrioventricular block of grade 3 occurred in 2patients and acute renal failure occurred in 2 cases. All patients were uneventfully discharged. The mean ventilation time was 45 h (ranging from 12 to 430 h). Mean duration in ICUs and hospitals were 15 days ( ranging from 4 to 40 days) and 22. 5days ( ranging from 10 to 42 days), respectively. During the period of follow up, one patient presented with pulmonary venous obstruction and recurrent pulmonary infection with increased flow speed at the site of anastomosis, pulmonary hypertension and tricuspid regurgitation on echocardiogram. No improvement was observed in the patient spite of medical treatment and he was lost during follow up one year after operation. 16 patients received postoperative follow up for 1 month to 9 years, mean (51.8 ± 35.0) months. Echocardiography, chest radiography, and ECG were performed during this period. As a result, most children had good cardiac function, with sinus rhythm on ECG and apparently reduced pulmonary congestion on radiography.No obstructive pulmonary venous return was observed on echocardiography. Most patients had good cardiac functions. Conclusion Corrective operation for infra-cardiac TAPVC on urgent basis may provide favorite outcomes. The prognosis is associated with the size of anastomosis between the pulmonary vein and left atrium, as large anastomosis may prevent the obstruction of pulmonary venous retum.

Objective To explore the characteristics of ischemia-reperfusion induced infant lung damage and the potential mechanisms of the injuried.Methods Both infant (15-21 days old) and adult (5-6 months old) rabbits were subjected to either ischemia-reperfusion or sham operation.Ischemia-reperfusion was induced by clamping the right pulmonary hilum for 1 hour and then removal of the clamp for 4 hours under anesthesia.The lung tissue were sampled for histological examination by light and electron microcopies and for biological evaluation of mitochondrial alterations.Production and expression of free radical species-hydroxyl radical (ROS-HR),malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX),myeloid differentiation factor-88 (MyD-88),and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the lung tissue were also examined.In addition,circulating levels of interleukin-β and tumor necrosis factor-α were measured during the ischemia-reperfusion process.Results In comparison to adult lungs,the infant lungs had more increased neutrophil infiltration,edema,swelled alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells,and severer mitochondrial impairment reflected by damage of the inner membrane as well as decrease in the membrane potential after ischemia-reperfusion.The lungs in infant animals subjected to sham operation displayed higher levels of ROS-HR and MDA and lower levels of SOD and GSH-PX than those in adult controls.The lungs in infants with ischemia-reperfusion were found to further produce more ROS-HR,and MDA,and less SOD and GSH-PX than the ischemia-reperfused adult lungs.Moreover,the circulating levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α were elevated during the period of ischemia-reperfusion,particularly in the infant animals,which appeared to be associated with the expression of MyD-88 and NF-κB in the lungs.Conclusion Lung ischemia-reperfusion causes more severe lung damage in infants than in adults,probably due to combination of low antioxidant capacity and overproduction of ROS in infants.

Objective To establish a novel experimental model of New Zealand rabbit to assess the biocompatibility of 0.1 mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE),a novel material of pulmonary valve.Methods Forty-two adult New Zealand rabbits about 3 kg were selected to give 35 mg/kg ketamine and 0.25 mg/kg dexmedetomidine intramuscularly for the anesthesia.The chest was open to expose the upper segment.The surface of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) was exposed after the pericardium was opened partially.The valve material (0.1 mm PTFE) was inserted into the right ventricle via the central mini-incision.Then the skin was closed and the rabbits were recoved with the oxygen inhalation.Results Forty-two adult New Zealand rabbits accepted the operation.Six rabbits died during the early period due to the inappropriate anesthesia drug (n =2),pneumothorax (n =1) and thrombosis (n =3),which occurred the 5th,7th and 8th postoperative day.The anticoagulation treatment was adjusted to solve the thrombosis problem.Thirty-six rabbits survived for several months with weight increase until the experiment was finished.Conclusions The experimental model of New Zealand rabbit is appropriate for the biocompatible assessment of 0.1 mm PTFE.The advantage is to avoid intubation and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and to decrease the pneumothorax.

Objective To report the experience of the arterial switch operation(ASO) for Taussig-Bing anomaly and late outcomes.Methods From January 2001 to December 2015,57 patients were underwent arterial switch operation for Taussig-Bing anomaly in Fudan university affiliated children's hospital cardiac center,Median age and weight at operation was 63(37.5-88.5)days, 4.1(3.4-5.0)kg, respectively.29 patients with Arch anomalies(50.9%), 23 patients with unusual coronaries(40.3%),according to have arch anomaly or not and surgery time, dividing the patients into two groups, group A(have, n=29)and group B(not have, n=28), earlier experience into group 1(2001-2008, n=27), later experience into group 2(2009-2015, n=30), respectively.Results The Mortality was12.3%, the mortality of group A and group B was 13.8%, 10.7%(P>0.05),group 1 and group 2 was 22.2%, 3.3%(P<0.05) respectively, follow up was complete in 47 patients with a mean follow-up of(6.2±3.5) years , three patients lost, there was no late mortality, the actual survival at 1, 5year was 87%, 87%, respectively.Reintervention was required in 10 patients(21.3%), the aorta-PA valve diameter ratio was a risk factor for reintervention(group A P=0.02, group B P=0.04) ,and 1,2,5year free of reintervention was 95.6%, 86.6%, 77.2%, respectively.Conclusion The ASO approach can be applied to Taussig-Bing anomaly with acceptable mortality , and it is the procedure of choice at our institution.One stage to repair TBA with aortic arch abnormalities did not influence outcomes.The aorta-PA valve diameter ratio<0.5 was a risk factor for reintervention.

With the development of imaging technology,the detection rate of gallbladder benign lesions has increased year by year.And part of the diseases may evolve into gallbladder cancer through a series of pathophysiologic processes.There are some misunderstandings in the understanding of gallbladder benign lesions for surgeons,so it is difficult for the clinical decision-making.The relationship between gallbladder benign lesions and gallbladder cancer should be correctly understood.Surgeons can neither exaggerate the risk of gallbladder cancer nor miss optimal timing of operation.The key point of the diagnosis and treatment of gallbladder benign lesions should be based on making full use of imaging data and strictly grasp pre-and intraoperative indications,and it is important to identify the malignant transformation of gallbladder benign lesions as soon as possible and carry out standardized treatment.

Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive value of elevated cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and Score for the Targeting of Atrial Fibrillation (STAF) in the diagnosis of cardiogenic cerebral infarction. Methods Two hundred twenty-three patients with acute ischemic stroke were recruited in the study including 38 patients in cardiogenic cerebral infarction (CCI) group and 185 in non-cardiac cerebral infarction (NCCI) group. Clinical data were collected. Chemiluminescence immunoassay was used to detect serum cTnI concentrations in patients and STAF scores were calculated. The clinical baseline data of the two groups were compared. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the boundary value of cTnI and STAF scores in diagnosing CCI and in analyzing their predictive value. Results In the CCI group, the patients were older with higher frequency in atrial fibrillation and ischemic heart disease. Moreover, the NIHSS scores, the value of cTnI and STAF scores were significantly higher in CCI group than in the NCCI group (P＜0.05). The area under the ROC curve of STAF scores was 0.954, and its 95%CI was between 0.924 and 0.985. The area under the ROC curve of the cTnI value was 0.852, and its 95% CI was between 0.788 and 0.916. The cutoff of STAF scores was 4 points, with a sensitivity of 92.1% and a specificity of 89.2%. The cutoff of cTnI value was 0.0085ng/ml, with a sensitivity of 73.7% and a specificity of 84.9%. Conclusion Serum cTnI value and STAF score have a good predictive value for CCI, and STAF score have a higher value than serum cTnI in predicting the diagnosis of CCI. Clinically, serum cTnI and STAF score may be helpful for etiology classification of acute ischemic stroke.
