Objective To study the effects of a self-controlled and totally-enclosed type perfusion skin and tissue expansion in which pressure was continuous and constant. Methods Totally-enclosed type perfusion system included single-used infusion apparatus, triplet, soft water storage bag, catheter, and common expander. Continuous pressure-constant system included inflatable infusion apparatus and common spring sphygmomanometer. Expander was filled from soft water storage bag which was put in inflatable infusion apparatus by crushed ball. The pressure of expander was controlled by patients according to pain threshold. 26 expanders were used in 20 patients in clinical practice. The volume of expander was about 100 ~ 400 ml. After 3~5 days from operation, water began to fill in the expander and stopped when the expansion area reached. Results The volume of expander was 120~640 ml and the duration of expansion was 10~16 days, average (13.6? 2.1) days, without any complication. Conclusions The tissue expansion with continuous and constant pressure and totally-enclosed perfusion is worth popularizing because of its easy preparation, simply operation, rapid expansion, safety and comfort.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of tetromethylpyrazine and aminoguanidine on diabetic nephropathy. METHODS: Diabetic rats were induced by streptozotocin. They were divided into 5 groups: normal control group (group C), untreated diabetic group (group DM), tetromethylpyrazine treated group (group TMP), aminoguanidine treated group (group AG) and tetromethylpyrazine and aminoguanidine treated group (group TMP+AG). The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in renal cortex of the rats in each group was observed by immunohistochemical staining after 12 weeks. RESULTS: The expression of VEGF in renal cortex of the rats in group TMP+AG and group C was alike. The expression of VEGF in renal cortex of group TMP and group AG decreased significantly as compared with that of group C, but was still above normal level. CONCLUSION: The therapeutic mechanism of tetromethylpyrazine and aminoguanidine on diabetic nephropathy may be inhibiting the over-expression of VEGF in kidney of diabetic rats.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the application of frontal sinus optical probe in endoscopic frontal sinus surgery. METHOD: The clinical data of 58 adult patients (86 sides) suffering from chronic frontal sinusitis were analyzed retrospectively. The patients received endoscopic frontal sinus surgery with frontal sinus optical probe because of difficulty in confirming ostia under endoscope. All cases were followed up post operation to evaluate the efficacy. RESULT: The ostia of frontal sinus were successfully opened with this method in all cases, and no serious intracranial or orbital complication occurred. After 6 to 18 months follow-up postoperatively, the symptoms vanished in 51 cases and improved in 7 cases and none of all recurred. The endoscopic examinations showed well opening of frontal sinus ostia. CONCLUSION Localization of frontal ostium with frontal sinus optical probe is a simple, convenient, safe and effective accessorial method for revision endoscopic frontal sinus surgery.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of huge adrenal tumor.Methods Retrospectively analysed the clinical data of the 2 patients with huge adrenal tumor more than 10 cm in diameter, who were admitted in our hospital from September 2013 to January 2015.Clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis were evaluated.Results Two patients were both suspected of adrenocortical carcinomas.Case 1 was a 28-year-old female.Laparoscopic surgery was performed at first but was conversed to open palliative adrenalectomy due to tumor rupture and bleeding.The postoperative pathology was adrenocortical carcinoma.The patient died of gastrointestinal bleeding caused by tumor metastasis 10 months later.Case 2 was a 39-year-old female, who underwent laparoscopic adrenolectomy with tumor excision completely.The postoperative pathology showed neoplasm of malignant potential, and no tumor recurred in 15 months follow-up.ConclusionsOpen surgery should be the priority if the diameter of adrenal tumor is more than 10 cm and diagnosis as suspicious of malignancy.Huge adrenocortical carcinoma is related to poor therapeutic response,and multimodality therapy may improve the prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the development of osteoporosis (OS) and its influencing factors among physical examination populations aged over 35 years in urban areas of Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into OP prevention. Methods: Subjects aged over 35 years that underwent physical examinations in Wenhui Street Community Health Service Center of Gongshu District, Hanghzhou City during the period between April and July, 2022 were enrolled. Subjects' demographic characteristics and physical examination data were collected, and the bone mineral density and serum vitamin D levels were measured. The factors affecting the development of OP were identified using a logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 561 subjects were recruited, including 616 males (39.46%) with a median (interquartile range) age of 62 (18) years, and 945 females (60.54%) with a median (interquartile range) age of 62 (19) years. The prevalence of OP was 43.69% among the study subjects. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified women (OR=1.367, 95%CI: 1.105-2.979) and increased age (OR=1.057, 95%CI: 1.044-1.069) as risk factors for OP and elevated serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels as a protective factor for OP (OR=0.969, 95%CI: 0.954-0.985). Conclusions The prevalence of OP was 43.69% among physical examination populations aged over 35 years in urban areas of Hangzhou City, and gender, age and serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D were factors affecting the development of OP.
