BACKGROUND: Chitosan is commonly prepared using emulsion freeze-drying methods, which is complexly operated. OBJECTIVE: To introduce a simple methods for the preparation of chitosan and analyze its biological characteristic. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Controlled observation experiments were carried out in the Central Laboratory, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chinese Medical University (Shenyang, Liaoning, China) from April to December in 2007. MATERIALS: Ten Wistar rats of 8 weeks old and SPF grade were adopted. Chitosan powder in separated packs, with 99% purity and 99% deacetylation degree were the product of Shandong Jinan Ocean Bio-Product Co., Ltd. (China). METHODS: Acetic acid solution was added into chitosan to prepare 8% chitosan acetic acid hydrosol, which was then stayed for one day. Flowing the immersion into the hydrosol and immediate dislodgement, plastic tube was soaked in 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide for 3 minutes. Hydrosol out of the tube etiolated and coagulated into jells, the tube was removed when the jells were semi-dried. Subsequent to complete drying, chitosan tubes were prepared as an internal diameter of 5 mm, and were cut into many segmentations (length 2 mm). The prepared tubes were subcutaneously implanted into rat muscular tissues at right McBurney point, while rat left muscular tissues were only incised and sutured, taking as controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gross observation of chitosan tube, degradation percentage of chitosan tubes in rat muscular tissue, and tissue inflammation change around chitosan tube detected by hematoxylin-eosin stain. RESULTS: The surface of chitosan tube was smooth and the tenacity was good. Intramuscular implantation test showed that 50% and 90% chitosan tubes were absorbed by tissues in 4 weeks and 8 weeks postoperatively. Inflammatory reaction surrounding tubes was decreased gradually. CONCLUSION: It gives a new kind of way to prepare chitosan tube, with few materials, low cost, simple operation and short time. The prepared chitosan tubes approve the good histocompatibility and biological degradation.

Objective To evaluate the endoscopic tendon sheath release for stenosing tenovaginitis (trigger finger). Methods Five patients with stenosing tenovaginitis (2 in thumbs, 1 in middle finger, and 2 in ring fingers) underwent operations by Smith & Nephew Endoscopic Trigger Finger Release system. After two 3.0mm transverse incisions were made, the window cannula assembly was inserted subcutaneously along the sheath from the proximal portal and advanced until it passed through the distal portal. Then a 2.7 mm endoscope was passed into from the proximal portal and a retrograde knife was introduced into the operative site from the distal portal. Finally the entire length of sheath was sectioned under direct endoscopic vision. Results All operations were successfully completed. Finger's flexion and extension function recovered immediately after the operations. All the patients restarted their employment one week postoperatively. There were no complications such as distinct pain or delayed wound healing in these patients. Conclusions This method has the advantages of minimal invasion, safety, effectiveness and quick recovery, especially suited to diabetic patients or multiple trigger fingers.

Objective: The purpose of our experiment is to use new type esophageal prosthesis, which is pulmonary tissue with vascular pedicle, to repair the partial esophageal defect. Methods: Twelve adult mongrel dogs were used for the study. Middle lobar bronchus of right lung was ligated and incised, so the pulmonary tissue with vascular pedicle was made. A 4 cm long and 1/2~2/3 circled esophageal wall, and full-thickness defect was created. The defect was patched by pulmonary tissue with vascular pedicle. Results: Seven dogs were put to death at planned times after the reconstructive operation. One dog is still alive without any problems for more than 12 months. One dog survived 38 days and then died of chronic empyema. The other three dogs died of anastomotic leak at 5~7 days after operation. The living dogs could be fed orally at seventh day after operation. Epithelization was found in the luminal surface of the defect. Conclusion: It was feasible that the partial esophageal defect was replaced by pulmonary tissue with vascular pedicle.
