Objective To introduce the method of C2,3 pedicle screw fixation for management of unstable Hangman fractures and evaluate the clinical effects.Methods From October 2001 to October 2005,26 cases with unstable Hangman fractures were treated using Axis and Vertex pedicle screw system.According to the classification system designed by Levine depending on the radiological manifestations of Hangman fractures,there were unstable fractures in 26 cases,who were subdivided into type Ⅱ in 11 cases,type ⅡA in 10 cases and type Ⅲ in 5 cases.There were 18 males and 8 females,aging from 21 to 56 years with an average of 38.5 years.According to Frankel scale,graded as spinal injury D in 6 cases and E in 20 cases.Points of entry for C2 screw insertion were located at the entrance at the posterior aspect of lateral mass.The drill bit was parallel to both of the medial and superior border of C2 pars interarticularis(usually 15?-25? cephalad to the transverse plane and 20?-25? medial to the sagittal plane).The screw hole in the posterior cortex was overdrilled.3.5-4.0 mm screws(26-30 mm,determined by depth gauge)were drived in after the cortex being tapped.The points of screw penetration for the C3 pedicles was slightly lateral to the center of the articular mass and close to the inferior margin of the inferior articular process of the cranially adjacent vertebra.The insertion angle of the pedicle screw was 35?-45? medial to the midline in the transverse plane.3.5-4.0 mm screws,determined by depth gauge were drived in after the cortex being tapped.The whole procedure was done under monitoring of "C"-arm fluoroscopy for safety and accuracy.Results All patients were followed up from 6 to 54 months,with the average of 29 months.There were no screw loosing and breakage,and no spinal cord and vertebral artery injury after surgery.3 screws were placed too close to the vertebral artery canal in C2 and 7 screws in C3,but without clinical consequences.There were 16 cases in excellent,7 good,3 fair according to Mayo(McGrory)scores.Conclusion C2,3 pedicle screw fixation is a effected method for management of unstable Hangman fractures,which proved its value as a method achieving solid bony fusion combined with low rate of complications.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of Doppler ultrasound (BUS), computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods A total of 74 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis who received a liver transplantation was included in this study. We compared the postoperative pathological results with preoperative imaging findings (BUS, CT, and MRI). An assessment was made in respect of the accuracy in tumor size (a diagnostic accordance was defined as

Aiming at the problems in the post competency training of eight year clinical medical students such as the deficiency of humanistic spirit and communication ability,insufficient capacity of clinical skills training and clinical problem-solving,the lacl of academic research ability and innovative spirit,and according to the practical requirements for clinical personnel,we elaborated the required post competence for eight-year medical students on the basis of its basic concept and intention.We proposed strengthening the cultivation of eight-year medical students by improved course plan and cultivation process,perfected assessment system,enhanced construction of teachers in order to make the students competent to their posts,and we also made some beneficial attempts in formulating and implementing the talent training scheme based on post competency.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of suprasternal mini-thyroidectomy.Methods A total of 15 patients with nodular goiter underwent suprasternal mini-thyroidectomy(2.5-3.5 cm in incision at length) with ultrasonic scalpel.Results All operations including unilateral partial thyroidectomy(n=4),unilateral subtotal thyroidectomy(n=2) and bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy(n=9)were completed successfully.The mean operation time was 46 minutes(range,30-65 minutes).The intraoperative blood loss was less than 10 ml,except 25 ml in one patient.No complications occurred except superficial Ⅱ degree skin burn in 2 patients.The mean postoperative hospital stay was 1.8 days(range,1-3 days).All the patients were followed up for 8-10 months and no recurrence was found.Conclusions Suprasternal mini-thyroidectomy is feasible and safe with certain cosmetic effects.

Objective To explore the feasibility and application value of combined C2 laminar screw fixation technique in treatment of cervical vertebral injury. Methods Dense axial CT scanning was done on C2 laminar of 32 specimens of cervical vertebra to measure the length and height of the axis, the thickness of upper, middle and lower parts of the axis as well as the angle between the axial ray and the sagittal plane. There were eight patients with cervical vertebral injury including two with type Ⅱ odon-told process fractures combined with backward dislocation of atlanto-axial joint, one with forward disloca-tion of atlanto-axial joint, one with nonunion of odontoid process fractures, two with type Ⅲ odontoid process fractures combined with atlanto-axial joint instability and transverse ligament rupture, one with type Ⅱ Hangman fracture combined with instability of C2～3 and one with forward dislocation of atlanto-axial joint combined with transverse ligament rupture. With accomplishment of traction reduction, combined fixation with axis laminar screws and posterior autogenous lilac graft fusion were done based on injury se-verity of the patients. Results The length and height of axis laminar was (26.2±1.2) mm and (12.8±1.6) mm, respectively. The thickness of upper, middle and lower parts of the C2 laminar was (3.0±1.4) mm, (6.0±1.6) mm and (5.6±1.2) mm, respectively. The mean angle between the axial ray and sagittal plane was 43.5°. All patients were followed up for 6-14 months ( mean 6 months), which showed that all patients obtained favourable bone union and all screws remained at sound position, without deflexion of the screws or any perioperative or postoperative complications. No screw loosening or breakage occurred. Conclusions C2 laminar screw fixation technique can prevent the risk of vertebral artery injury during screw insertion. In the meantime, such technique is simple to operate and free from limitation of the vertebral artery in the cervical foramen. Whole course of visualization during C2 laminar screw insertion may facilitate it as a supplementary method for conventional posterior C2 screw fixation.
