Objective To investigate the anatomy of the skull base for minimally invasive keyhole approach to sellar lesions.MethodsSixty-seven samples of adult skull bone(134 sides) were collected and sawed at the levels of the supraorbital arch and anterior skull base.After inspecting the opening of the frontal sinus,we observed the appearance of the orbit roof(cerebral juga),and measured the maximum height of the two cerebral jugas.Afterwards,the operation distances and angles with regard to the anterior and posterior clinoid processes through the trans-upper orbit,trans-lateral front,trans-pterion,and trans-sub-temple keyhole approaches in 15 skull bone samples were measured.And then,we statistically analyzed the variance in these measurements among the four operative approaches.ResultsOf the 67(134 sides) adult skull bone samples,52 sides showed frontal sinus openness(38.8%,52/134).Most of the skull bases were clawed(multicuspidity or oblique ridge multicuspidity).The maximum height of the cerebral juga that was less than 2.50 mm was found in 36 sides(26.9%),and over 2.51 mm in 98 sides(73.1%).Among the four methods,the shortest distances between the keyhole and the anterior and posterior clinoid processes were found in the trans-sub-temple keyhole approach [(4.87?0.47) cm and(4.93?0.45) cm],and the longest were observed in the trans-lateral front keyhole approach[(6.45?0.30) cm and(7.83?0.54) cm],and trans-upper orbit keyhole approach[(6.47?0.28) cm and(8.31?0.34) cm].The angle between the sagittal section and the keyhole in the trans-lateral front keyhole approach [(40.83?1.11) ? and(37.86?1.37)?] was larger than that in the trans-upper orbit one [(10.23?0.90) ? and(12.29?0.86)?],while the angle between the cross section and the keyhole in the trans-sub-temple keyhole approach [(21.21?0.45) ? and(20.10?0.63)?] was larger than that in the trans-pterion one [(5.49?0.30)? and(9.84?0.58)?].ConclusionsThe size of the frontal sinus,shape and height of the cerebral juga,depth of the skull base operation,and angle between the operational and the skull base planes play important roles in the selection of minimally invasive keyhole approach for sellar lesions.

Purpose To investigate whether thoracotomy can induce lung injury in the operative side and the protection by ambroxol in this procedure. Methods 24 patients with esophageal carcinoma who were performed esophagectomy with anastomosis over the arcus aortae were randomized into 2 groups:an ambroxol group (ambroxol 1 g iv gtt qd×3,preoperatively) and a controlled group without any respiratory medication.General anesthesia by tracheo-cannula combined with continuous epidual anesthesia were used in all the patients.Bilateral broncho-alveolar lavage(BAL) was carried out after intubation preoperatively and before removal of the cannula postoperatively.Total Phospholipid(TPL),Saturated Phosphaytidylcholine(SatPC) and Total protein(TP) in the BALF were measured.The ratio of SatPC/TPL and SatPC/TP represented the activity of PS. Results In the controlled group,SatPC/TPL and SatPC/TP of the left lung(operation side) showed significant difference(P<0.05),compared with the right side(non-operation side).In the ambroxol group,no significant difference of such ratio was showed. Conclusions Thoracotomy can induce lung injury and bring out the decrease of PS and increase of protein exudation in the operative side.Large dose of ambroxol can promote in synthesize and secretion of PS and protect those changes.

Objective To study characteristics of hospital infection and bacterial drug-resistance in our new Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to provide evidence to clinical rational use of drugs. Methods The data of 142 patients in our ICU last year were analyzed retrospectively, and compared to other inpatients treated in general ward during the same time period. Results Among the 142 ICU inpatients,31 times of hospital infection occurred in 22 patients,gave rise to a infection rate of 15.49% and case time infection rate of 21.83% in ICU; but among the 15 978patients treated simultaneously in general ward,413 times of hospital infection occurred in 324 inpatients, gave rise to a infection rate of 2. 03% and case time infection rate of 2. 58% outside of ICU. The hospital infection rate and case time infection rate were significantly different between the ICU and general ward (P < 0. 01 ). Among the ICU infections, the lower respiratory tract infection accounted for 70. 96% ;the main pathogens were Gram-negative bacilli (65. 12% ) and Gram-positive bacilli (23.26%), follwed by fungus (11.63%). The most common bacteria were Escherichia ( 32. 65% ) and Staphylococcus ( 11.63% ). Gram-negative microorganisms were highly sensitive to cefoperazone/sulbactam,imipenem, meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam; all Gram-positive microorganisms were sensitive to vancomycin,linezolid and teicoplanin. Conclusions The constitution,distribution and drug-resistance of pathogens in new ICU are similar to previous domestic reports. Gram-negative organisms are the main photogenic bacteria of hospital infection in ICU, and Escherichia is the most popular type in nosocomial infection.
