This is a report of 13 cases of surgically corrected ruptured aneurysm of the aortic sinus of Valsaha. The simultaneous trans-venous and trans-arterial catheterization and cineangiogram are the best diagnostic procedures. In 12 cases, the aneurysm originated from the right coronary sinus and only one from the noncoronary sinus. Eleven aneurysms ruptured into the right ventricle and 2 into the right atrium. Eight cases were associated with ventricular septa1 defect and 5 with aortic regurgitation. In three cases the Hancock porcine valve replacement was done. There was no surgical mortality.

Endophthalmitis is a severe and unfortunate complication after glaucoma filtering surgery which may present months to years after the initial surgical intervention. Amniotic membrane is immunologically inert and has antiadhesive and wound-protectioning effects. Furthermore, it reduces pain and helps epithelization. So several reports disclosed the uses of amniotic membrane in transplantation for reconstruction of various ocular surface diseases recently. We report the usefulness of antibiotics-soaked amniotic membrane transplatation for endophthalmitis with bleb rupture 4 years after trabeculectomy.

Primary hepatic angiosarcoma (PHA) is a rare disease with high malignancy. Due to the low incidence, atypical clinical symptoms and signs, it is often misdiagnosed, which results in missing timely treatment, and subsequently influencing the therapeutic effect and prognosis. A case of hepatic angiosarcoma with acute abdominal pain as the first symptom was reported in First Hospital affiliated to Jilin University in Match, 2017. Computed Tomography (CT) examination for this patient was misdiagnosed as a ruptured hemangioma of the liver, and emergency interventional embolization for hemostasis was performed. Blood routine was monitored several times after the operation, which indicated active bleeding. We performed laparotomy and excised the tumor, which was pathologically confirmed as hepatic angiosarcoma. Immunohistochemistry showed that tumor cells expressed CD31 and CD34. After the operation, the family members gave up treatment due to economic limitations and other reasons, and the patient died on the second day after discharge.

PURPOSE:
Previous studies have confirmed that Achilles tendon occurs Achilles thickening after repair surgery of the rupture. Although this mechanism has been elucidated in the laboratory, there are few reports on its impact on clinical function. We designed a retrospective study to investigate the Achilles thickening after Achilles tendon rupture repair and its correlation between the elasticity and postoperative function.
METHODS:
In this retrospective analysis, patients who underwent surgical treatment for acute Achilles tendon rupture from April 2016 to April 2020 were included. All the patients were regularly followed up at 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery. American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Surgeon (AOFAS) scale and Leppilahti score were used to evaluate functional outcomes. Achilles elasticity was measured by ultrasound shear wave of elasticity. Achilles thickening was calculated as maximal transverse and longitudinal diameter in cross-sectional plane of magnetic resonance scan. Sample t-tests was used for different follow-up periods. Correlation between Achilles thickening and other factors were analyzed using Pearson's method. p < 0.05 indicates a statistically significant difference.
RESULTS:
AOFAS scale and Leppilahti score at 1 year were significantly higher than at 3 months postoperatively (both p < 0.001). These functional scales were also improved at 2-year follow-up significantly (both p < 0.001). The dorsiflexion difference showed gradually recovery in each follow-up period (t = -17.907, p < 0.001). The elasticity of the Achilles appeared to continuously decreases during the postoperative follow-up period in all position sets (p < 0.001). In thickening evaluation, the cross-sectional area of the thickest plane of Achilles was significantly higher at 1 year postoperatively (310.5 ± 25.2) mm2 than that at 3 months postoperatively ((278.0 ± 26.2) mm2, t = -8.219, p < 0.001) and became thinner in 2-year magnetic resonance scan ((256.1 ± 15.1) mm2, t = 16.769, p < 0.001). The correlations between Achilles thickening, elasticity, and functional outcome did not show statistical significance (p > 0.05) in every follow-up period.
CONCLUSION
Achilles tendon thickens after surgery in the 1st year, but begins to gradually return to thinning about 2 years after surgery. There was no significant correlation between the increase and decrease of thickening and the patients' clinical function scores, Achilles elasticity, and bilateral ankle dorsiflexion difference.

Epidermal inclusion cyst of the breast is an uncommon benign lesion and it is usually located in the skin layer. We report here on two cases of ruptured epidermal inclusion cysts in the subareolar area, which is a very unusual location for these cysts and these lesions can be mistaken for breast malignancies.
