OBJECTIVETo study clinical results of reduction and fixation under arthroscopy for the treatment of osteochondrotical lesion in the knee.

METHODSFrom December 2012 to December 2013, 4 patients with the knee joint osteochondritis lesion and free bone fragments were treated with arthroscopy to detect the stripped cartilage, and then the cartilages were reduced with small incision and fixed by cartilage nail. There were 3 males and 1 female, with age of 15, 15, 20 and 27 years old. The durations of the disease were 1 d, 5 d, 1 month and 1 year. All the patients had swelling and effusion in the knee joint, and the floating patellar test was positive. CT examination showed bone defects and loose bodies. The Lysholm, VAS, and Tegner scale were used to evaluate the knee joint functions before and after operation.

RESULTSAll the patients underwent successful surgery. Postoperative CT showed good location of the cartilage without loss of reduced bone and cartilage. All the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 10 to 13 months, with a mean of 12 months. In one patient, arthroscopy examination was conducted for a second time to examine the connection of the fracture part to the surrounding cartilage, and it showed that the internal fixator was not absorbed. The Lysholm, VAS and Tegner scale of all patients were better than those before operation.

CONCLUSIONTreatment of osteochondritis lesion with the fixation of absorbable cartilage nails may reconstruct the integrity of articular surface and recover the stability of joints, and it is an effective treatment method.

This study was to evaluate the feasibility of hepatectomy for primary liver cancer (PLC) without hepatic blood flow occlusion. Methods 194 PLC patients admitted between 1988～1998 underwent hepatectomy without hepatic blood flow occlusion including nonanatomical hepatectomy (100 cases),hepatolobectomy (41 cases), combined adjacent organ resection (30 cases), hepatic segmentectomy (22 cases) and left hemihepatectomy (3 cases). Results Operative time was 2 4 hr, intraoperative blood transfusion averaged at 649 ml. Operative complication rate was 18 0%, and there was no mortality. Conclusion Hepatectomy without hepatic blood flow occlusion for PLC patients can be performed safely, so it is a useful technique for hepatectomy.

Objective To investigate the effects of vitamin E (VE) on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of rats.Methods A total of 18 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group,I/R group,VE + I/R group,and each group of 6 rats.All the animals were killed at the end of 24 h of reperfusion.Nephridial tissue were examined by light microscopy,and the level of blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) were measured.The protein expressions of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were detected by Western blotting.Results Compared with sham-operated group,tubulointerstitial pathological injury in I/R group was significantly aggravated,which was shown by HE and PAS stain.Compared with I/R group,the degree of morphological changes as well as renal dysfunction in VE + I/R group were obviously lessened.Meanwhile,the levels of BUN,SCr in I/R group,VE + I/R group were (10.13 ± 2.14) mmol/L and (7.67 ± 1.63) mmol/L,(80.33 ±7.15) μmol/L and (63.67 ±5.40) μ mol/L,significantly higher than those in shamed-operated group ((3.85 ± 0.21) mmol/L,(48.67 ± 3.61) μmol/L;P ＜ 0.05).And the level of BUN and SCr in VE + I/R group were significant lower than those in I/R group(P ＜0.05).Western Blotting showed that the protein expressions of TNF-α in VE + I/R group were obviously lower compared with those in group of I/R without VE treatment (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Vitamin E can attenuate over-expressions of TNF-α in kidney following I/R,thus protect against structural damages and renal dysfunction in I/R rat models.

Objective To study the iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) situation in Wenzhou City during 1995-2014.Method According to National IDD Surveillance Project,IDD surveillance had been consecutively carried out during the past 20 years,which consisted of goiter rate in 8-10 years old children,iodized salt and urinary iodine levels.Results The goiter rate of 8-10 years old children was decreased from the highest of 31.09％ (2 190/7 043) in 1995 to the lowest of 2.28％ (77/3 378) in 2014;the highest level of median urinary iodine was 214.78 μg/L,and the lowest level was 74.48 μg/L,and which was increased from 74.48 μg/L in 1995 to 187.00 μg/L in 1996,and then had been maintained at the appropriate level recommended by World Health Organiation (WHO),except that in 1998,2003,2004 and 2006.The qualified rate of iodized salt was increased from 54.95％ (1 471/2 677) in 1996 to 95.52％ (2 548/2 754) in 1999,but decreased to 62.75％ (768/1 224) in 2003,however it was fluctuated from 78.61％ (2 503/3 184) to 92.48％ (2 989/3 232) from 2004 to 2013,and it was 90.43％ in 2014 (2 983/3 300).Conclusions The comprehensive measures for controlling IDD,with universal salt iodization,has been gradually achieved remarkable effect in Wenzhou City,but the non-iodization salt existing in the market is still a problem,and people have misunderstandings about iodization salt.Iodine supplementation had better be conducted according to local conditions and based on scientific policy.

Objective To access the long-term efficacy and safety of immunosuppression on the progression of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) by Meta analysis.Methods Databases EMBASE,Pubmed,Elsevier Science Direct,Scopus,Web of Science,Google Scholar,Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,WanFang and VIP Data were retrieved to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) at least 3 years follow-up on immunosuppression for IgAN published before May 2014.The literatures were screened independently by two reviewers according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and the methodological quality was assessed.Statistic software Stata 12.0 was used to conduct analysis.Results Nine articles were included in this study with a total of 568 patients.Immurnosuppression could lowered the risk for the progression to ESRD (RR=0.32,95％CI:0.20-0.49,P ＜ 0.01).As far as the efficacy of immunosuppression,subgroup analysis indicated that three studies with more than 7 year follow-up (RR=0.28,95％CI:0.13-0.59,P ＜ 0.01) were similar with 7 studies followed by for less than 7 years (RR=0.34,95％ CI:0.19-0.59,P＜0.01); six adopted immunosuppressor monotherapy (RR=0.29,95％ CI:0.15-0.58,P＜ 0.01) were similar to two used corticosteroids plus other immunosuppression (RR=0.33,95％CI:0.18-0.59,P ＜ 0.01); There were no significant differences between four studies from Europe (RR=0.27,95％CI:0.14-0.53,P ＜ 0.01) and five from Asia (RR=0.35,95％ CI:0.19-0.65,P＜0.01).Immunosuppression was associated with an increased risk for adverse events (RR=2.33,95％ CI:1.33-4.09,P＜0.01).Conclusion Immunosuppression for IgAN may reduce long-term risk of progression to ESRD,but increase the risk of adverse events to some extent.

ObjectiveTo sum up the experience in the treatment of huge primary retroperitoneal pelvic tumors (diameter≥10 cm), and analyze factors influencing the removal of the tumors during surgical procedures. MethodsA clinical retrospective review of 26 cases with huge primary retroperitoneal pelvic tumors undergoing surgical resection was made during a period of 1980～2000 in our hospital. The rate of tumors resected was compared between benign and malignant, male and female patients. Results The tumor resection rate in this group was 73%(19/26). There was no mortality within 30 days and no severe postoperative complication. Conclusion Resection should be attempted whenever possible for patients suffering from huge pelvic tumors. The resection rate was higher in female patients than that in male patients. Major blood vessels invasion is responsible for low radical resection rate.

Objective To construct eukaryotic expression vector encoding rat IMD gene and deliver it into rat renal tissue via ultrasound-mircobubbles. Methods IMD gene was inserted into pCDNA3.1 ( + )between Hind Ⅲ and EcoRI enzyme sites. The recombinant plasmid designated as IMD-pCDNA 3.1 wasconfirmed by restrictive enzyme digestion and sequencing. Eighteen male Wistar rats were randomized into 3groups, which were treated with no transfection, empty vector transfection and IMD transfection, respectively, in renal tissue via ultrasound-microbubbles. RT-PCR and Western blotting were applied to detect the expression level of IMD. Results Enzyme- digestion and sequencing data showed that IMD-pCDNA 3.1 was correctly constructed. The differences in ALT, AST, BUN and SCr were not significant; No obvious damage in the glomerular, tubular and interstitial was observed in all the treated groups;Compared with non-transfection group and empty vector-transfection group, IMD mRNA and protein expression in IMD transgenic renal tissue were significantly increased. Conclusion IMD-pCDNA 3.1 expression vector was successfully constructed and well expressed in rat kidney.

Objective To investigate the effect of intermedin (IMD) on renal ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury after the up-regulation of IMD. Methods A total of 24 healthy Wistar male rats were randomly divided into four groups,sham-operated group,I/R group,IMD gene transfection +I/R group and empty plamid +I/R group.All the animals were killed at the end of 24 h of reperfusion.Histological changes and renal function were estimated.The expression and site of IMD were determined by Immunohistochemistry method,semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting.The protein expressions of endothelin 1 (ET-1),tumor necrosis factor αt (TNF-α) were detected by Western blotting. Results Compared with sham-operated group,tubulointerstitial pathological injury was significant aggravated in I/R group (7.6±2.3) and empty plamid +I/R group (7.0±1.8),and such injury was improved in IMD+I/R group (1.5±0.8) (P＜0.05).Compared with I/R group and empty plamid +I/R group,the renal dysfunction of IMD +I/R group was obviously lessened [BUN:(7.73±1.03) mmol/L vs (10.13±2.14) mmol/L,(9.77±1.92) mmol/L; Scr:(58.50±3.27) μmol/L vs (80.33±7.15) μmol/L, (75.67±7.58) μmol/L,all P＜0.05].IMD expression was weak in the plasma of tubulointerstitial cells in sham-operated group,and was up-regulated in I/R group. Compared with I/R group, immunohistochemical IMD expression increased obviously (262.03±67.89 vs 175.57±48.06,P＜0.01).The mRNA expression of IMD in IMD+I/R group was up-regulated significantly by 60.7％,66.1％ and the protein expression of IMD in IMD+I/R group increased significantly by 51.4％,55.9％ as compared to I/R and empty plasmid +I/R group.Meanwhile,the protein expressions of ET-1 and TNF-αt in IMD+I/R group were obviously lower compared with those in I/R group (ET-1:0.08±0.02 vs 0.17±0.02; TNF-α:0.21±0.04 vs 0.35± 0.02,all P＜0.05). Conclusion IMD gene transfected into kidneys of rats prior to I/R surgery can attenuate the over-expressions of both ET-1 and TNF-o in I/R injured rat kidneys as well as the damages to the structure and function of the kidneys.

Objective To evaluate the clinical presentation,pathologic features,diagnosis and treatment of hepatic angiomyohponm(HAML).Methods Retrospective analysis was made on 22 HAML cases in terms of clinical finding,images,pathologic examination and surgical treatment.Results Of the 22 patients,6 were male and 16 were female.The average age was 48.2 years.Seventeen patients had no clinical symptoms.None had the history of hepatitis virus infection.None of them was complicated with renal AML.None had tlle history of taking oral contraceptives in the sixteen female patients.Serum AFP、CEA、CA19-9、CA242 levels were all within normal limits.The correct diagnostic rate of BUS.CT and MRI was 2l%(4/19)、23.5%(4/17)and 25%(2/8),respectively.All tumorts were single nodule with a diameter of 4～17 cm,without complete capsula.All these 22 patients underwent tumor resection,including partial liver resection in 17 patients,left hemihepatectomy in 5.One patient died of postoperative complication,one patient suffered from temporary bile leak.The HMB45 positive rate by immunohistochemical method was 100%.Extramedullary hemopoiesis was found in 4 patients.Follow up of 6 months to 17 years in 91%(20/22)patients found no tumor recurrence. Conclusions HAML had no specifiC symptoms.The preoperative imaging diagnosis is difficult.Surgical resection is the therapy of choice for HAML.
