Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of injury in choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction. Methods The clinical data of 6 patients with injury in choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction who had been admitted to Beijing Hospital from January 2000 to January 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of the 6 patients, 4 were diagnosed according to the intraoperative findings, cholangiography and fiber cholangioscopy. The 4 patients were cured after suture of the perforation in the choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction, T-tube drainage and abdominal drainage. Two patients developed severe abdominal and retroperitoneal infection and other complications after operation, and were diagnosed by cholangiography and fiber cholangioscopy. Of the 2 patients, 1 was cured and 1 died after multiple drainage procedures and debridement. Conclusions Diagnosis and treatment in the early stage are crucial for the curative purpose. Cholangingraphy and fiber cholangioscopy are effective in the diagnosis of injury in choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction. The suture of the perforation in the choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction, T-tube drainage and abdominal drainage should be chosen for patients who are diagnosed during primary operation. For patients with abdominal and retroperitoneal abscess and cellulitis, drainage and debridement should be performed, and biliopancreatic diversion and duodenal diverticularizatian are applied to patients when necessary.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexamethasone combined with clomiphene on serum sex hormone levels in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Methods 80 pregnancies with polycystic ovary syndrome treated in our hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were selected and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 40 cases in each group. The observation group was given dexamethasone combined with clomiphene, while the control group was given simple clomiphene. Compared the curative effect and the change of the levels of progesterone and estradiol before and after treatment for three months. Results After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 95.00%, higher than the total effective rate of the control group was 72.50%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), compared the levels of progesterone(P), estradiol(E2), luteinizing hormone(LH) and LH/FSH in the observation group and the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), after treatment, both levels were higher than before treatment. The total ovulation rate of the observation group was 90.00%, higher than the total ovulation rate of the control group was 72.50%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The level of progesterone and estradiol in serum of polycystic ovary syndrome treated by dexamethasone combined with clomiphene had a obvious positive correlation (r=0.746, 0.812, 0.731 and 0.796, P<0.05). Conclusion Dexamethasone combined with clomiphene treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome than using only clomiphene treatment is good, which can also improve serum hormone levels in patients, effectively improve the patient's endocrine abnormalities.

Objective To study the curative effect of arthroscopic debridement in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with moderate-to-severe degenerative cartilage. Methods Arthroscopic knee debridement combined with postoperative rehabilitation exercise was carried out in 17 cases (21 knee joints) of knee osteoarthritis with moderate-to-severe degenerative cartilage. Results The operation time was 55~100 min (mean, 75 min). No surgical complications occurred. The postoperative hospital stay was 15~ 20 days (mean, 13 days). The passive range of motion of the knee joint during the surgery was 0?~120? and the range of motion after the surgery, 0?~110?. Follow-up was conducted for 5~36 months (mean, 21 months). The curative effect was classified as “good” in 6 cases (8 joints), “fair” in 9 cases (11 joints) and “poor” in 2 cases (2 joints). The range of motion of the knee was 0?~ 120?. Conclusions Arthroscopic debridement is an effective option for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with moderate-to-severe degenerative cartilage.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in the elderly. Methods The clinical characters of HCM in 70 elderly patients were retrospectively analysed. Results Among the 196 identified HCM patients, 70 were elders. Out of them, 7 patients(10.0%) were suspected as HCM according to the clinical symptoms, 29 patients (41.4%)were suspected as other cardiac diseases, 34 (48.3%) were diagnosed HCM due to other reasons. Among the 70 patients, 12 patients(17.1%) had history of cerebrovascular diseases, 54 (77.1%) manifested symptoms after 45 years of age and 4 (5.7%) showed no obvious symptoms. Among them, 18 patients were examined by UCG for two times and HCM was diagnosed at the second time. Conclusions HCM in the elderly is not an uncommon disease. The onset of cardiac symptoms is relatively late in the elderly HCM and frequently misdiagnosed; cerebrovascular diseases are commonly seen in elderly HCM patients.

AIM:To investigate the protective effects of total saponins of panax notoginseng (PNS) on myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by isoproterenol (ISO) in rats. METHODS: Myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis model of rats were induced by injection of ISO (5 mg?kg-1?d-1, sc) for 7 days. From day 2, the rats were administered with PNS at dose of 25 and 50 mg?kg-1?d-1, ip for 14 days, the control and ISO model group were received saline injection. Then, the heart-weight (HW), left ventricular weight (LVW), the ratio of HW/BW and LVW/BW (LVI) were measured; the hydroxyproline and malondialdehyde (MDA) and angiotensin (AngII) content of left ventricle. The level of nitric oxide (NO), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), superoxide disrnutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities in left ventricle were determined by spectrophotemetry and radioimmunoassay, respectively. RESULTS: Compared with NS control group, the ratio of HW/BW, LVW/BW and the content of hydroxyproline, AngII, MDA and iNOS activity in the left ventricle were significantly increased. The cNOS, SOD, GSH-Px activities and NO content were obriously decreased in the ISO model group. After treatment with PNS, the left ventricular NO content, cNOS, SOD and GSH-Px activities were markedly higher than those in ISO model group. The content of MDA, AngII and iNOS activities and the ratio of HW/BW, LVI were significantly lower than those in ISO model group. CONCLUSION: PNS reverses the myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by isoproterenol in rats. This effect may be related to eliminating the oxygen free radicals and raising NO level.

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of forced expiratory volume in six seconds(FEV6) as an alternative for forced vital capacity(FVC)and the fixed eat-off points for FEV1/FEV6 in the diagnostic screening for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods From August 2007 to December 2008,a total of 1210 spirometric examinations in were analyzed,FEV6 was measured on volume-time curves.The correlation between FEV1/FVC and FEV1/FEV6 was evaluated by the Kendall correlation test.Considering FEV1/FVC

Objective To explore the pattern of lymph node metastasis in patitsen with squamous cell carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus and its significance in lymphadenectomy.Methods The clinical data of 230 patients who received radical esophagectomy with three-field lymphadenectomy was analyzed.The metastatic sites of lymph nodes were correlated with tumor location by chi-square test.Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between clinic pathoingical factors and lymph node metastasis.Results Lymph node metastases were found in 133 of the 230 patients(57.8%).The average number of resected lymph nodes was 25.3? 11.4 per patient(range 11～71).The rates of lymph node metastasis were 41.6%,19.44%and 8.3%in the neck,thoracic medi- astinum and abdominal cavity for patients with upper thoracic esophageal carcinoma,33.3%,34.7%and 14%for patients with mid- die thoracic esophageal carcinoma and 36.4 %,34.1%and 43.2 %for patients with lower thoracic esophageal carcinoma.No signifi- cant difference in cervical or thoracic metastatic rate was observed among upper,middle and lower thoracic carcinoma.The difference in lymph node metastatic rate for nodes in the abdominal cavity was significant among upper,middle and lower thoracic carcinoma. The lower thoracic esophageal cancers were more likely to metastasize to the abdominal cavity.Logistic-regression showed depth of tu- mor invasion and angiolymphatic invasion were factors influencing lymph node metastasis.Conclusion Cervical and mediastinal node dissection should be performed independently from tumor location.Abdominal node dissection should be conducted more vigorously for lower thoracic esophageal cancer than of other locations.Patients with greater tumor grade,depth of tumor invasion and angiolymphatic invasion were more prone to develop lymph node metastasis.
