Objective: To evaluate the success rate and potency rate of functional and traditional end-to-side anastomosis for radial artery-cephalic vein arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients, so as to summarize our experience and to improve the operation outcomes. Methods: Totally 124 patients with chronic renal failure receiving radial artery-cephalic vein arteriovenous shunt for hemodialysis were randomly divided into 2 groups, namely, the functional end-side anastomosis and the traditional end-side anastomosis. The successful rate and year patency rate of the two methods were compared and analyzed. Results: The mean operation time periods for functional and traditional end-side anastomosis were (20.4±5.6) min and (26.2±5.2) min, respectively(P<0.05). The 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month patency rates were 93.6%, 87.3%, and 76.2%, in the functional end-side anastomosis group, and 95.1% (P>0.05), 82.0%(P>0.05), 72.1%(P>0.05) in the traditional end-side anastomosis group, respectively, with no significant differences found in the three rates between the two groups. Conclusion: The short-term and long-term patency rates are similar between hemodialysis patients undergoing functional and traditional end-to-side anastomosis for radial artery-cephalic vein arteriovenous fistula. The functional end-side anastomosis is more convenient and needs a shorter time, and it also makes it easy for a second surgical exploration.

Objective To evaluate the analgesic efficiency and safety of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia ( PCIA) with both flurbiprofen and sufentanil after Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty ( H-UPPP) surgery. Methods Patients undergoing H-UPPP surgery ( n=60 ) were randomly divided into four groups with 15 cases in each group .They received PCIA after operation with a loading dose of 2 ml, lockout time of 15 minutes, background infusion rate of 2 ml/h and liquid volume of 100 ml.The PCIA formulation in each group was as follows:sufentanil 3.0 μg/h in group A;sufentanil 3.0 μg/h+flurbiprofen 4.0 mg/h in group B;sufentanil 2.0μg/h+flurbiprofen 4.0 mg/h in group C;sufentanil 1.0μg/h+flurbiprofen 4.0 mg/h in group D.The visual analogue scale (VAS) and Ramsay sedation scale were recorded at 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after surgery (T1 -T5 time points).Patient pressing times and the adverse effects within 48 h after surgery were counted . Results The VAS scores of the group D were higher than those in the other three groups at T1 and T2 time points (P<0.05).The Ramsay scores of the group D were lower than those in the other three groups at T1 and T2 time points (P<0.05).The numbers of pressing times in the group D were more than those in the other three groups (P<0.05). Conclusion PCIA with both flurbiprofen 4.0 mg/h and sufentanil 2.0 μg/h is effective for postoperative analgesia after H-UPPP.

Objective To investigate analgesic effects of flurbiprofen in lower extremity liposuction for patients with primary lymphedema. Methods A total of 60 patients receiving lower extremity liposuction under general anesthesia were allocated to 3 groups:the control group (group A) received no analgesic drug 10-20 min before the end of operation, the parecoxib group (group B) received intravenous parecoxib 40 mg, and the flurbiprofen group (group C) received intravenous flurbiprofen 100 mg.The VAS was recorded at 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h after operation.Adverse reactions were also recorded . Results The VAS of rest pain and motion pain at 1, 2, 6, and 12 h were significantly lower in the group B than those in the group A (P<0.05);the VAS of rest pain and motion pain at 1, 2, and 12 h were significantly lower in the group C than those in the group A (P<0.05).The VAS at 1 and 2 h did not differ between the group B and C (P>0.05), but had significant difference at 6 and 12 h (P<0.05).No significant differences in the VAS at 24 h were observed among the three groups (P>0.05).Adverse reactions were not different among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both flurbiprofen and parecoxib sodium can achieve good postoperative analgesic effects in patients with lymphedema receiving lower extremity liposuction .

Purpose:To study the feasibility of 1 H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H-MRS) in the chemical induced rat hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) model by a new 1.5T MR set and endeavor to have an initial understanding of the characteristics of its cancer development. Methods:Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced rat HCC models(n=30) were established. At different intervals rats were randomly scanned before being killed on the following day. Their livers were dissected for histopathologic study. Results:Three rats died unexpectedly. 27 rats (90%) developed liver lesions and were investigated according to the plan. T 1 WI is good for demonstration of anatomic structure and T 2 WI at showing the lesions in detail. The scanning methods have been improved gradually. 1 H-MRS results were satisfactory for 64% of the single-voxel and 50% of the multi-voxel respectively. Conclusions:DEN induced rat HCC model is suitable for the Medical Imaging studies and liver 1 H-MRS scan is practical with this new 1.5T unit.

Objective To determine the value and limitation of water enema spiral CT (WESCT) in staging of colorectal carcinoma.Methods Forty-eight patients with histologically proven rectum or colon carcinoma were included in this study. All of them were examined by SCT ,and the preoperative staging of TNM and Duke were used based on the findings of SCT.The results of WESCT were compared with those of surgical and pathological examination in all cases. Results All lesions in the 47 cases were demonstrated clearly by WESCT and the sensitivity was 97.9% ; 39 cases of 48 patients were correctly staged with TNM and 42 cases with Duke , the accuracy was 81.3% and 87.5% respectively, which were higher than the overall 50 % accuracy reported by references ;⑶The accuracy of WESCT was 89.6% (43/48) in T stage and 81.3% (39/48) in N stage. Three casas in M stage were all diagnosed correctly;Conclusion WESCT scan is a better method of depicting the colorectal carcinoma. It allows for accurate depiction and staging of colorectal carcinoma, especially detecting the invasion of adjacent tissues and distant metastasis. It is the best imaging method for staging the colorectal carcinoma . However the value of WESCT for early T staging in colorectal carcinoma and minute metastasis of lymph nodes or liver is limited.
