Objective To evaluate the effects of preventing and treating delayed gastric emptying (DGE)in the patients with pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenostomy(PPPD).Methods The clinical data about PPPD from 1992～2000 were analyzed retrospectively.Results The incidence rate of DGE was 50%,among which gastrostomy was performed in 2/2 cases and not performed in four tenths.Comparing gastric decompression through noses with gastrostomy,the function of gastric wriggle recovered ahead of seven to fifteen days in the former group.Conclusion The incidence rate of DGE in the patients with PPPD is very high.Preventive jejunostomy should routinely be taken and the application of the thin silicon rubber tube through nose is very effective to gastric decompression,combining the traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine.

Objective Objective To determine the potential factors for development of post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) after decompressive craniectomy (DC).Methods A retrospective study was performed on 62 patients undergone DC after craniocerebral trauma.Based on the incidence of hydrocephalus after DC,the patients were divided into hydrocephalus group (n =15) and non-hydrocephalus group (n =47).The factors including general data information,pre-operative condition,imagine manifestation,operation methods,and surgical parameters were compared between groups to identify the risk factors contributing to the development of PTH.Results No statistical differences were found between the two groups in aspects of gender,age,injury severity score (ISS),pupillary size,pupillary light reflex,Fisher scale of subarachnoid hemorrhage,volume of intracranial occupation,ambient cistern compression,midline shift,intracranial infection,and distance of superior margin of the craniectomy to midline.But there were significant differences of the two groups in whether underwent bilateral craniectomy (x2 =9.235,P ＜0.05),height of craniectomy (t =3.751,P ＜ 0.01),area of craniectomy (t =3.171,P ＜ 0.01) and whether underwent reoperation (x2 =8.335,P ＜ 0.01).Logistic regression analysis indicated that the development of PTH was significantly affected by bilateral craniectomy,large craniectomy and reoperation.Conclusion Bilateral craniectomy,large craniectomy and reoperation are risk factors for the development of PTH after DC.

Objective Chronic persistent infection following hydrophilic polyacrylamide gel (HPG) injection is one of serious complications in augmentation mammaplasty.It was to search for a perfect treatment for the infection.MethodsA total of 126 patients who accepted HPG injection appeared serious chronic infections.Operation was performed to cut out the HPG and necrotic tissues.The cavities were repeatly washed with negative pressure drainage to control the infection.ResultsAll the symptoms were relieved one to 3 weeks after the treatments in 126 cases.The examination showed that no visible HPG and infection remained in the cavity.No defects existed in the breast and chest wall.ConclusionsFor this infection,the best therapy is to remove the pathologic tissue by surgery and to efficiently control the infection with medication.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of early hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of patients with diffuse axonal injury ( DAI ). Methods A total of 45 cases of DAI were randomly divided into hyperbaric oxygen treatment group ( n =25 ) and normal treatment group ( n =20).The changes of intracranial pressure,Glasgow Comb Scale (GCS) and prognosis were observed.Results Compared with group treated with routine therapy,early intracranial pressure scores were reduced obviously,while GCS and prognosis were increased obviously in group treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusion Early hyperbaric oxygen can significantly lower the level of intracranial pressure and improve the prognosis in the treatment of DAI patients.

Objective To study the cause, prophyl ax is and management of the complications of laser treatment for varicose veins of the lower extremity. Method From Sep 2003 to Dec 2004, 52 patients (65 limbs) underwent endovenous ablat ion procedures. The laser was introduced into the vein to achieve venous occlusi on. Results Postoperative complications included ecchymosis in 12 cases, skin burn in 14 cases, saphenous nerve injury in 7 cases, thrombophlebitis in 3 cases, and subcutaneous fat liqu idation and infection in 2 cases. Most of the complications subsided after sympt omatic treatment in 2 to 3 weeks. Conclusion Most complications of laser treatment for varicose veins are transient and self-healing.

Objective Vimentin is one of the proteins of cytoskele to n and cell movement. To investigate the effect of gene expression of fibroblast vimentin on the formation and contraction of hypertrophic scar in this report. Methods According to the results of differently expressed genes in hypertrophic scar by gene microarray, Vimentin, one of the most important g enes , was selected and made into oligonucleotide probe. 24 cases of hypertrophi c scar and 24 non-hypertrophic scar and 12 normal skin were used and these scar were taken on 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after burned. Frozen section and cultured f ibroblasts were made to detect the expression of the gene by in situ hybridizati on.
