Fetal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FAIT) is a severe perinatal complication, which can seriously affect fetal development, and may even lead to intrauterine hemorrhage and intrauterine death. There are controversies in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the disease due to its low incidence and limited treatment experience. This paper reviews the progress to date in understanding the condition, incidence, screening of high-risk factors, prenatal and delivery management of FAIT based on domestic and foreign guidelines, in order to help obstetricians in the clinical management of FAIT.

Although it has been frequently used to treat thoraxic tumors,radiation induced lung injury (RILI) is the major factor of dose limitation in thoracic radiotherapy.Amount of endogenous and exogenous reactive oxygen / nitrogen species (ROS/RNOS) could be generated in the radiated organisms and further cause molecular damage of DNA,protein and membrane lipids,which results in celluar structure damage,dysfunction and RILI.In addition,a series of cytokines could also induce chronic oxidative stresses that contribute to increases in cell membrane permeability,tissue edema and extracellular matrix proteins accumulation and even further result in pulmonary fibrosis.Oxidative stress theory offers new clues and strategies for further understanding the mechanism of RILI,and some anti-oxidative stress drugs may have potential clincial application in RILI treatment.

Objective To assess the value of multi-slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) in diagnosis of posterior nutcracker syndrome (NCS). Methods MSCTA of 15 patients clinically diagnosed as posterior NCS (patient group) and 50 subjects with normal renal vessels (control group) were retrospectively analyzed. The anatomy, course and relationship to the adjacent structure of left renal vein (LRV) and its branches were observed. The anteroposterior diameter (d1) and cross areas (s1) of the angle of control group and posterior abdominal artery (AA), the anteroposterior diameter (d2) and cross areas (s2) at the largest lumen near the renal hilar were measured and the ratio of s2/s1 and d2/ d1 were calculated.Results All LRVs posterior AA of patient group were compressed and narrowing with dilating apparently near the renal hilar. The difference of d2 was not significant (P＞0.05), but of other values were significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion MSCTA can show anatomy and three-dimentional trend clearly of LRV for posterior NCS, and evaluate the extent of narrow and dilating lumen accurately with cross areas measuring.

Microcapsule technology recently has been applicated and developed in pharmaceutical,chemical,food and so on.The achievments have been obtained on the novel technics of microcapsulation,analytical methods of microcapsule characteristics,and methods of characterization for the appearance and porous structures of microcapsules.The novel developments on the structure and property of microcapsules were reviewed.

Objective To probe into the feasibility and efficacy of damage control surgery (DCS) in treating severe pelvic fracture combined with abdominal organ injuries.Methods A retrospective analysis was done on the clinical data of 39 patients with severe pelvic fractures combined with abdominal organ injuries treated by DCS from 1995 to 2010.Results Devascularization of internal iliac arteries was performed to treat massive hemorrhage in the 39 patients with severe pelvic fractures combined with abdominal organ injuries,including ligation of bilateral internal iliac arteries in 31 palients and angioembolization of bilateral internal iliac arteries in eight.Meanwhile,early pelvic external fixators were used in 31 patients.All patients received discriminating internal fixation after resuscitation in ICU.The overall mortality rate was 21％ (8/39),with average ISS of 41.6 points and with hemorrhagic shock and combined injury for the main causes of death.Complications occurred in seven patients including combined acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in three patients,thrombosis of right common iliac artery in one,subphernic abscesses in two,and deep infection of lower extremity in one,but all the complications were cured.Conclusions Reasonable and timely use of DCS can enhance the rescue survival rate of patients with severe pelvic fraclure combined with abdominal organ injuries.

Objective To probe timely diagnosis and surgical intervention of traumatic diaphragmatic rupture(TDR). Methods The clinical data of 161 patients with TDR treated surgically in our department during the past 17 years were analyzed retrospectively in respects of diagnostic methods,accuracy of preoperative judgment of TDR,incidence of diaphragmatic hernia,surgical procedures and outcome,etc. Results There were 139 males and 22 females at a mean age of 32.4 years(9-84 years),with average ISS of 27.8 points(13-66 points).Of all patients,65.2%had shock at admission.For these 161 patients,36 suffered from blunt injuries and 125 from penetrating injuries.For diaphragmatic injury.preoperative diagnostic rate was 88.9%for blunt injuries and 78.4%for penetrating injuries (P＞0.01).The incidence of diaphragmatic hernia was 94.4%in blunt injuries and 14.4%in penetrating injuries(P＜0.05).In this series,thoracotomy was performed in 30 patients,laparotomy in 106,thoracotomy plus laparotomy in 18 and combined thoraco-laparotomy in 7,with overall fatality rate of 10.6%and a mean ISS of 41.6 points.The mortality rate was 22.2%in blunt injuries and 7.2%in penetrating injuries(P＜0.01).The main causes for death were hemorrhagic shock and septic complications; Conclusions Blunt diaphragmatic injury can be diagnosed by radiographic signs of diaphragmatic hernia.According to"offside sign",which implies a thoracic wound with positive physical or radiological signs in the abdomen or in the thorax,penetrating diaphragmatic injury can be recognized.To deal with diaphragmatic hernia,it is important to judge the vitality of viscera.Penetrating injury has a relatively good prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo discuss arthroscopic technique of single Kirschner wire and suture avoiding epiphyseal line fixation for tibial intercondylar eminence fracture and its clinical results.

METHODSFrom May 2008 to December 2012, 21 patients (13 males, 8 females, ranging in age from 6 to 14 years old) with tibial intercondylar eminence fracture were treated arthroscopically with single Kirschner wire and suture avoiding epiphyseal line fixation technique. According to Meyers and McKeever classification, 7 patients were type II, 10 patients were type III, and 4 patients were type IV. Active rehabilitation began at one week after operation. The patients were followed up for 10 to 30 months. X-ray films were taken to evaluate fracture healing at 1, 3, 6 months after operation; range of motion, the anterior drawer test, the lachman test and the Lysholm knee score were used to evaluate clinical effects.

RESULTSAll fractures were healed without displacement at 6 weeks after operation. Anterior drawer test and the lachman test were both negative in all patients at 3 months after operation. Lysholm knee score was 95.5 ±2.5 at 6 months after operation, and postoperative X-ray film did not find epiphyseal line broadening or narrowing.

CONCLUSIONArthroscopic treatment for tibial eminence intercondylar fracture with single Kirschner wire and 8-shaped suture avoiding epiphyseal line fixation technique has many advantages, such as firm fixation,early mobilization, less invasive, less injury of physis and satisfactory effect.
