Based on detailed analysis of the status of and problems in the use and management of implantable medical devices and equipment in clinical departments of hospital, we propose some clinically operable solving strategies and methods. It is important to further regulate the use and management of implantable medical devices for timely and safe use the devices in clinical departments.

BACKGROUND: Systemic administrations are widely used in preventing or curing bone infections, however, it accompanied by great adverse reactions and limited local blood drug levels. Therefore, local administration becomes a research focus, which aimed to explore a carrier possess good biocompatibility and slow-release antibiotics. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of calcium alginate gel compound vancomycin on prevention of bone infection, simultaneously, single drug was injected or implanted into models to compare the results.METHODS: A total of 60 healthy adult New Zealand white rabbits were prepared for osteomyelitis models by injecting Staphylococcus auraus to right tibiae medullaris, and randomly divided into systemic treatment, tricalcium phosphate and calcium alginate gel groups. After model preparation, rabbits in the systemic treatment group were intramuscular injected vancomycin (0.03 g, twice per day, for 4 successive days); in the triceicium phosphate group, 1 g tricalcium phosphate combined with 0.1 g vancomycin.was filled in the defects, sealed with bone wax. In the calcium alginate gel group, calcium alginate gel combined with vancomycin was implanted. Gross observation, radiological image and histological analysis were performed at weeks 4 and 8 after operation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Local swelling and partial sinus were found in the systemic treatment and tricalcium phosphate groups after operation. The pathological slice showed that there were a large number of lymphocytes and some sequestrum in the systemic treatment and tricelcium phosphate groups. However, there was no manifestation of osteomyelitis in the calcium alginate gel group. The results suggested that calcium alginate gel compound vancomycin exhibit superior therapeutic effect on prevention of bone infection to local administration of calcium alginate gel combined with vancomycin or systemic application of vancomycin.

The literatures were searched and summarized about the autophagic operating mechanism on the TCM benefiting Qi and promoting blood circulation for the diabetes and diabetic complications. The study found that Chinese herbs with the function of benefiting Qi and promoting blood circulation could motivate the tissues's autophagy, which had good the rapeutic effect on diabetes and diabetic complications.

Objective To explore the influence on isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS) from lumbar vertebras facet joint orientation (FJO) variation. Methods The lumbar vertebras of 60 patients scanned by 16-slices spiral CT were collected, 30 cases with IS was defined as isthmic group;30 cases with normal lumbar vertebras was defined as control group, the FJO at L3-4, L4-5 and L5-S1 were measured in two groups. The difference between two groups were compared at three levels, the difference between both sides of the facet joint orientation also was compared;the measured data and the data of 60 patients from foreign literature were compared at three levels. Results The FJO in isthmic group were (47.9±6.3)° ,(37.5±7.3)° , (37.9±7.7)° at the right of L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 levels respectively,the FJO in control group were (53.1 ± 7.3)° , (40.5±6.3)° , (38.5±7.3)° respectively, the FJO in isthmic group were (48.1±6.0)° , (37.9 ± 7.4)° , (37.6 ± 7.6)° at the left of L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 levels respectively, the FJO in control group were (52.3 ± 7.6)° , (41.6 ± 6.0)° , (38.2 ± 7.2)° respectively. The significant difference was found at L3-4 and L4-5 levels (P < 0.05), the orientation was similar at L5-S1 level (P > 0.05). The difference between the both sides FJO of lumbar vertebras was not found at L3-4,L4-5 and L5-S1 levels (P >0.05). The same as the measured data and the corresponding data from foreign literature(P > 0.05 ). Conclusions It seems possible that the coronal FJO may be the phenotypic representation of the familial etiology of IS. It is helpful for the measurement of lumbar vertebras FJO to find IS early,it is important to reduce and release the IS.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of surgical repair for non-circumferential defect of bile duct in Mirizzi syndrome.Method The clinical data of 32 patients with Mirizzi syndrome with non-circumferential defect of bile duct were repaired using the patient's own tissues such as gallbladder pedicle flap,umbilical venous flap and omental flap.Results All the patients were operated success fully.There was no operative mortality.The defects in the bile duct were repaired using gallbladder pedicle flap in 25 patients,umbilical venous flap in 5 patients and omental flap in 2 patients.There were 2 patients who developed postoperative complications.There was one postoperative bile leakage in a patient who was repaired using an umbilical venous flap.The other complication was residual bile duct stones.The patient with postoperative bile leakage was drained through a drainage tube which was removed after 7 days.The residual bile duct stones were removed by endoscopy through a T-tube sinus after 9 months.All patients were confirmed by T-tube cholangiography after 9 to 12 months to have no stones,bile duct stenosis or any other abnormalities.The T-tube was then removed.All patients were followed -up for 1 to 5 years.All patients had no cholangitis,abdominal pain,jaundice or fever.Conclusions Using the patients' own tissues such as gallbladder pedicle flap,umbilical venous flap and omental flap to surgical repair the defect in the bile duct of patients with Mirizzi syndrome was effective.This surgical treatment is a good choice.

Objective To evaluate the effect of debridement hepatectomy with selective hepatopetal blood occlusion in the treatment of severe hepatic trauma.Methods The clinical data of 55 patients with severe hepatic trauma treated by debridement hepatectomy with selective hepatopetal blood occlusion were retrospectively analyzed.20,20 and 15 patients were with grade Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ hepatic trauma respectively,combined with major peripheral hepatic vascular injury in 14 cases and with other trauma in 35 cases.Additional procedures including liver suture repair in 7 cases,perihepatic gauze packing in 3 cases,inferior vena cava repair in 5 cases,hepatic vein repair in 4 cases,hepatic vein ligation in 3 cases and hepatic artery ligation in 2 cases were performed.Other operations such as craniotomy debridement in 3 cases,cholecystectomy in 6 cases,T tube drainage of common bile duct in 4 cases,splenectomy in 5 cases,pancreatic tail resection in 2 cases,left kidney resection in 1 case,thoracic cavity closed drainage in 9 cases,partial small bowel resection or repair in 4 cases and stomach repair in 1 case were performed as needed.Results The operations were successful in 47 patients.Postoperative complications were observed in 19 cases (34.5％) including coagulation disorders in 1 case,postoperative abdominal bleeding in 2 cases,intestinal obstruction in 1 case,liver and renal dysfunction in 4 cases,abdominal infection in 3 cases,incision infection in 2 cases,pulmonary infection in 4 cases,pleural effuion in 10 cases.Death occurred in 8 patients (14.5％),the cause of death were hemorrhagic shock in 3 cases,combined with severe craniocerebral injury in 2 cases,septic shock in one case,and multiple organ failure in 2 cases.Conclusions Debridement hepatectomy with slective hepatopetal blood occlusion is an effective treatment for severe hepatic trauma.

Objective To study the results of laparoscopic approach in the treatment ot gallbladder and common bile duct stones.Method The authors reviewed data of 60 patients with gallbladder and bile duct stones treated laparoscopically.Results All the 60 patients treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration (LcTDE) were successful.There were 1 bile duct stone in 32 patients,and 2 to 6 bile duct stones in 28 patients.The operation time was (38.7±15.1) min and the hospitalization time was (5.5±2.1) days.One patient developed biliary fistula postoperatively which healed after 7 days of conservative treatment.One patient had bile duct residual stone which was treated by ERCP.The remaining patients were well.Conclusion Laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration using a mini incision and primary suturing of the bile duct was simple,safe and efficacious.
