40 cases of parotidectomy were reviewed.Anterograde approach(group A)and retrograde approach(group B)for facial nerve dissection were used in 1 7 and 23 cases respectively.1 patients in group A and 8 in group B presented symptoms of temporary facial nerve paralysis(P <0.05).The anterograde method is safer and quicker.

Objective To investigate the ultrasonographic manifestations of traumatic neuroma after neck dissection in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 21 patients with 26 lesions who underwent neck dissection.The ultrasonographic characteristics were reviewed,including numbers,location,size,shape,margin,echogenicity,with or without direct continuity to the nerve fiber,the presence of internal hyperechogenicity and blood supply.Results Among the 26 lesions of 21 patients,25 lesions were in the lateral cervical area while the other one was in the central cervical area.The mean shortest diameter of the lesions was (3.5±1.0)mm and that of longest diameter was (9.1±2.9)mm.Totally 13 lesions were oval in shape and the other 13 were round.The clear margin was found in 13 lesions and fuzzy margin was observed in another 13 lesions.All the lesions were heterogeneously hypoechoic.The presence of internal hyperechoic areas were found in 16 lesions.The direct continuity with the nerve fiber was found in 20 lesions,while the other 6 lesions were not continued to the nerve directly.Color Doppler flow imaging showed that 20 of the 26 lesions existed a little blood flow signal and the other 6 lesions showed no flow signal.During the ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (US-FNAB),21 patients complained about the intolerable serious pain and the pain relieved when the needle removed.Conclusion Traumatic neuromas are hypoecho lesions located in the operation area after neck dissection in PTC with distinctive ultrasonographic features,especially the direct continuity with the nerve fiber,as well as the clinical histories and sharp pain during US-FNAB,which can help to diagnose.

Objective To explore the optimal power of experimental pancreatic endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy.Methods Six healthy live minipigs were randomly divided into two groups according to random number table,which received RFA under EUS or in laparotomy.Each pig in each group was randomly allocated to received RFA at different power (5 W,10 W,15 W).The impedance was monitored and the time for each therapy was recorded.The width diameter of coagulation necrosis from RFA was measured by EUS and gross pathology.Results RFA was completed in all pigs smoothly with stable life signs and without complications.Gross and micro pathologic observation confirmed formation of coagulation necrosis lesions.The width diameter of lesions from EUS-RFA was similar to that from surgery RFA,both having a maximum value at 10 W power (11 nun VS 10 mm).Conclusion The optimal power of experimental pancreatic EUS-RFA in pig is 10W,which should be further explored for the clinical purpose.

97 cases of jaw bone fractures were treated with rigid internal fixation.16 cases had malocclusion postoperation.The etiology was analyzed and the prevention methods were proposed.Intermaxillary elastic traction or fixation and craniomaxillofacial fixation or craniomentum elastic traction were performed to treat the malocclusion.By this way,14 cases were cured.1 case was operated again to resume the normal occlusion,1 case received occlusal adjustment.Incomplete reduction,incorrect operative performance,deficiency of postoperative intermaxillary fixation and incorrect intermaxillary fixation were the main causes to malocclusion.So anatomic in time reduction,correct operative performance,intermaxillary fixation,application of craniomaxillofacial fixation or craniomentum elastic traction instead of intermaxillary fixation for some special cases are effective methods to correct postoperative malocclusion.

There is a new research model named 'registry study/patient registry' in Western medicine, which could be referred to by Chinese medicine researchers, such as active safety surveillance. This article will introduce registry study from different aspects as the developing history, features, and application in order to inform Chinese medicine researchers of future studies.

BACKGROUND:Wnt5a is able to inhibit canonical Wnt signaling and activate non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway. In recent years, it has been found that non-classical Wnt5a/PCP signaling pathway mediated by Wnt5a plays an important role in the process of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel proliferation and differentiation, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the progress in downstream effector molecules related to Wnt5a/PCP signaling pathway, and its roles in the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s.
METHODS:A computer-based online search of CqVip, CNKI and PubMed databases between January 2000 and February 2016 was performed using the Chinese keywords of“BMSCs, Wnt signaling pathways, chondrogenic differentiation, osteogenic differentiation”and English keywords of“BMSCs, chondrogenic differentiation, osteogenic differentiation, Wnt, Fzd, Ror2, RhoA, ROCK, JNK”, respectively. Literatures related to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation were selected. Final y, 43 eligible articles were included for analysis through excluding the old and repeated research.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Wnt5a, a representative protein in non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway, paticipates in the cytoskeleton, cel migration and cel polarization and other activities by mediating its downstream signaling molecules such as Fzd, Ror, RhoA, ROCK, JNK, thereby regulating its proliferation and differentiation. But it is unclear how Wnt5a/PCP participates in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation and how the downstream effector molecules interact or function independently, which requires further studies.

Objective To investigate the influences of anesthetic meltod on setting up the animal model of orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT) in rats, in order to properly select the anesthetic method. Methods OLT was performed by modified two-cuff technique in Sprague Dawley rats. 100 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group, ether group, ketamine group, chloral hydrate group and pentobarbital group. The anesthetic process, the influences of anesthetic method on physiologic parameters and hepatic function, and the mortality during anhepatic phase of each group were observed. Results The anesthetic process of each anesthetic method was different,ether anesthesia had fewer impacts on physiologic parameters, and the pentobarbital had great hepatotoxicity. High mortality happened in ketamine group, chloral hydrate group and pentobarbital group during anhepatic phase, while no animal died in ether group. Conclusions Each anesthetic method has significant influences on the OLT rat. Ether anesthesia has fewer effects on physiologic parameters and liver function, and has low mortality during anhepatic phase of OLT rats.So it is the best anesthetic method in setting up the animal model of OLT in rats.
