Objective To summarize the study on the feasibility of celiac axis ligation. Methods Literatures about celiac axis ligation were reviewed retrospectively. Results Celiac axis branches included common hepatic artery, splenic artery, left gastric artery which had many variation and collateral flow between celiac and mesenteric vessels by gastroduodenal artery and pancreaticoduodenal artery. Celiac axis could be possibly ligated without obvious complications in patients who had celiac axis injuries, celiac artery aneurysms, upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage, excision of carcinoma around the celiac axis and portal hypertension. However, gallbladder necrosis or perforation, focal infarction of the liver even higher mortality had also been reported. Conclusion Celiac axis ligation should not be performed routinely, but it is surgically possible and may be a life saving approach in certain circumstances.

[Objective]To analyze the early diagnosis and treatment of the popliteal artery injury associated with the dislocation and fracture of the knee.[Method]A total of 71 cases of popliteal artery injury associated with the dislocation and fracture of the knee were treated from March 1998 to May 2005.Properative(vascular examization) and operative(methods of arterial repair,venous repair-ligation,anticoagulation-thrombolytic therapy,fracture reduction and internal fixation,fasciotomy) treatment were studied.[Result]Totally 15 cases were primary amputation and 56 cases were performed vascular repair and the fractures and dislocations were reduced and fixed by internal or external fixation.Two cases had thrombosis at the repaired site confirmed by Doppler and had to perform second operation to remove thrombus and repair the popliteal by autograft of the saphena magna vein.At the follow-up,2 cases had chronic osteomyelitis and 2 cases had traumatic arthritis.[Conclusion]It is postulated that a rational and prompt diagnosis and treatment of popliteal artery injury associated with dislocation and fracture around the knee would decrease the adverse effects of ischemia and reduce the overall morbidity.

Objective To assess the outcomes of the surgical treatment of supination external rotation trimalleolar fractures,comparing the techniques of lateral plating and antiglide plating as described previously.Methods This is a retrospective review.A total of 31 patients meeting our inclusion criteria,with supination external rotation trimalleolar fractures surgically treated between 2009 and 2011,were studied.17 patients were treated with antiglide plating,whereas the remaining 14 patients underwent traditional lateral plating.They were followed up by a period ranging from 14 to 38 months(average,26 months).The functional results were evaluated with olerud and molander scoring system described previously.All the data including time to surgery,operating room time,tourniquet time,hospital stay and ankle joint function scores,were respectively analyzed in accordance with the complete randomized design t-test.Results There was no statistically significant in time to surgery,operating room,tourniquet time,hospital stay and ankle joint functional scores.Conclusions The outcome of the surgical management of supination external rotation trimalleolar fracture is comparable with both techniques.Our data do not support one technique over the other.

Objective To observe the distribution and location of TGF-?_1 in different stages of experimental lesions and to discuss its potential function. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were established experimental periapical lesions in maxillary first and second molar as experimental group while mandibular molar as control group, and they were divided into ten groups by the time(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 10 weeks)after pulp exposure, three rats in every group. Expression of TGF-?_1 was detected by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Results Strong expression of TGF-?_1 was observed in acute inflammation of pulp (1st-2nd week) and periapical tissue (4th-6th week), and idisappeared in pulp aecrosis and in chronic inflammation of periapical tissue(7th week). The main cells expressing TGF-?_1 were macrophage,lymphocyte and fibroblast. Conclusion TGF-?_1 has the certain function in inflammation and prevention of experimental periapical lesions.

Objective To identify risk factors associated with the severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) in-duced by crush syndrome and whether the patient required hemodialysis (HD). Method A retrospective study was designed. Within 19 days after the Chinese Wenchuan earthquake (May 12, 2008), 63 victims (33 men, 30women) of 2139 cases were hospitalized at Mianyang Central Hospital (Siehuau, China) because of crush syn-drome caused by crush injuries. The patients with renal dysfimcfion before the earthquake were excluded. Totally 63 patients with AKI associated with crush syndrome were included in this study and were divided into two groups: group 1, 25 patients, requiring HD (when urine volume <250 mL/d;serum potassium> 6 mmol/L) ; and group 2, 38 patients, without HD. The following data were collected retrospectively for all patients: (1) epidemiological parameters: age, gender, race, time under the rubble, liquid treatmem before being rescued; (2) clinical param-eters: blood pressure, body area crushed, amputation, fasciotomy, blood transfusion, quantity of fluid infusion, urine output in the first 24 hours; (3) initial laboratory data: complete blood count, urine analysis, serum chem-istry, arterial blood gas analysis. Comparisons between the two groups were made using SPSS 10.0. The quantita-tive data and categorical data were analyzed using t tests and χ2 tests, respectively. P -values < 0.05 were consid-ered to indicate significant differences. The significant variables were entered into logistic regression models to de-termine the risk factors for the severity of AK1 in patients with crush syndrome and whether the patient required HD. Results Four significant risk factors with P -values < 0.05 were identified: fasciotomy, cystatin C (Cys C)level, myoglobin (MB) level and lactic acidosis. The odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 8.641 (3.027～76.479), 6.956 (3.027～76.479), 5.379 (3.027～76.479) and 4.833 (2.569～32.764), respectively. Conclusions In addition to urine output and potassium levels, we found that four risk factors, namely faseiotomy, Cys C and MB levels, and lactic acidosis, were significanfly associated with the severity of AKI and whether the patient required hemodialysis.

Objective To evaluate if continuous hemihepatic inflow occlusion(HH)during hepatectomy can be as safe and effective as intermittent total hepatic inflow occlusion(TH)in reducing blood loss during hepatectomy.Methods From November 2001 to March 2006.eighty patients undergoing liver resections were included in a prospective randomized study comparning the intra-and postoperative course underTH(n=40)or HH(n=40).TH was performed with periods of 20 minutes of occlusion and 5 minutes of releasing,while HH with continuous occlusion.The surface area of liver transection was measured and blood loss was calculated.The amount of blood loss,levels of alanine aminotransferuse (ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and postoperative course were recorded. Results The total ischemic time of the HH groups was longer than in the TH group[(42±13)min,(31±13)min,P=0.37],and the operative time in the HH group was longer than in the TH group[(236 ±49)min,(204±38)min,P=0.02 ].No signincant difierenee was found between HH and TH group in blood loss during liver parenchyma transection[(500 ±269)ml,(416 ±235)ml,P=0.14]and in the changes of ALT and AST on the first postoperative day[ALT:(677±572)IU/L,(577 ±327)IU/L,P=0.12;AST:(591 ±468)IU/L,(512±301)IU/L,P=0.66].There were no difierences on postoperative morbidity between the two groups(22.5%versus 20.0%,P=0.35).Conclusion The technique of continuous hemihepatic inflow occlusion is as safe and effective as intermittent total hepatic inflow occlusion.

Objective To evaluate the clinical results of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) in treatment of complex fractures of the distal femur. Methads From July 2005 to December 2006, 41 patients with complex distal femur fractures induced by high energy trauma were treated with MIPO plus locking compression plate(LCP). There were 31 males and 10 females, at average age of 38 years(17-65 years). According to the AO/OTA fracture classification system, there were 11 patients with type A3 fractures, 22 with type C2 and 8 with type C3. There were 16 patients with open fractures. The clinical result was evaluated by using function examination and radiographic assessment. Results All patients were followed up for average 8 months(2-18 months), which showed fracture healing, with mean healing time of 13 weeks(7. 16 weeks). There was only 1 patient with superficial infection but no fixation failure or implant breakage were found. The average knee range of motion was 110°(45°-135°). Hospital for special surgery knee rating scale(HSS) showed excellent or good results in 36 patients (88%). No patient with greater than 5°difference in either varus or valgus was detected when compared 2 days after operation with latest follow-up. Conclusion In treatment of complex distal femur frac-tures, MIPO plus LCP have advantages of minor trauma, stable fLxation, slight interference on soft tis-sues, early fracture healing and few complications.

Objective To summarize the experience in hepatic artery reconstruction in adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation(ALDLT).Methods Fifty patients underwent ALDLT in our hospital from January 2002 to July 2006.All the hepatic a~ery reconstructions were done under surgical microscope.ResultsTwo patients(4%)presented with hepatic artery thrombosis.All the patients were followed up for 2 to 52 months (median,9 months),and no hepatic artery stenosis nor hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm occurred.The 1-year survival rate was 92%(46/50).Conclusions Systematic evaluation of hepatic artery reconstruction and use of microsurgical technique are key to the reduction of complications of hepatic artery reconstruction in ALDLT.
