Objective To summarize our experience in the prevention and treatment of right accessory hepatic duct and right hepatic duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods The clinical data of 21 cases with right accessory hepatic duct or right hepatic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy were reviewed retrospectively. Result According to anatomy identified by preoperative work-up and selective cholangiography during the operation, 18 cases had the right accessory hepatic duct,eleven of them were confirmed intraoperatively. The accessory hepatic ducts were conserved in 3 cases and clipped without biliary leaks postoperativly in 7 cases; One case had biliary leaks postoperatively with the duct sutured intraoperatively, and recovered well conservative therapy. Accessory hepatic ducts were accidentally injuried in 7 cases, two patients were transferred to open surgery; three cases were confirmed to be injuried and clipped by second laparoscopic exploration because of biliary leaks postoperatively. Three cases had a low confluence of the right and left hepatic duct with the gallbladder duct joining the right bile duct, the ducts were conserved in 2 cases and injuried in one. Postoperatively all these 21 cases were followed up for 2 years, without jaundice or liver dysfunction. Conclusions To prevent injury of right accessory hepatic duct and right hepatic duct. High vigilance and familiarity with the anatomic variants of the biliary tree and intraoperative cholangiography in selective cases are fundmental.

OBJECTIVE To explore the possibility of no recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in thyroid surgery. METHODS A total of 659 consecutive patients with thyroid disease undergoing thyroidectomy byotolaryngologists from March 2001 to March 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. The operative mode and incidence of complications, particularly postoperative RLN palsy, hypoparathyroidism and postoperative recurrence were evaluated. Routine dissection and identification of the RLN was performed during all operative procedures and parathyroid with the blood supply was preserved. RESULTS Unilateral total thyroidectomy with contralateral partial lobectomy was performed in 376 cases, unilateral total thyroidectomy with isthmectomy in 87, bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy with the remnant left at the upper pole in 76, total thyroidectomy in 73. The operations on 47 patients with substernal goiter have been successfully performed via cervical collar incision. None of our patients incurred unilateral or bilateral vocal cord paralysis and permanent hypocalcaemia. Of these patients, the incidence of temporary postoperative hypocalcemia was 1.67 %(11/659). Postoperative hemorrhage requiring reoperation occurred in 4 cases (0.60 %) and 5 patients developed wound haematomas (0.76 %).Postoperative hypothyroidism was found in 3 patients(0.45 %).The incidence of postoperative recurrence was 0.15 %(1/659). No patients had incision infection. CONCLUSION With knowledge of the anatomy of the RLN and routinely complete identification the RLN in performing capsular dissection high on the surface of the thyroid gland, RLN injury may be avoided in thyroid surgery.

With its high dimensionalities, small samples and great noise, feature reduction of gene expression profile becomes quite necessary. The most common form of gene expression profile is nonlinear, and traditional dimensionality reduction methods can not project high dimensional data, whose initial dimensionalities are low, into low dimensional space. In this work, an improved distance locally linear embedding (LLE ) algorism was proposed to reduce the dimensionalities. LLE method is very sensitive to the closely-neighboring parameters. In order to enhance the robustness to the number of neighbors, in the paper we presented a novel distance to measure the distance between the samples for the purpose of reducing-the influence of distribution of samples. Experimental results demonstrated that the improved distance LLE can effectively extract information of classification features and greatly reduce the dimensionalities of data while maintaining a higher classification accuracy.

Objective:To compare the efficacy between locking plate internal fixation combined with iliac bone graft and separate locking plate internal fixation in the treatment of comminuted proximal humeral fracture in the elderly.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 42 elderly patients with comminuted proximal humeral fracture admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2018 to January 2020. There were 20 males and 22 females, aged 65-75 years [(69.5±8.5)years]. According to Neer classification, there were 26 patients with three-part fracture and 16 with four-part fracture. Eighteen patients were treated by locking plate internal fixation combined with autologous iliac bone grafting (bone grafting group), and 24 patients were treated by locking plate internal fixation alone (non-bone grafting group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, hospitalization time, and fracture healing time were documented. Shoulder joint range of motion (forward flexion, extension, internal rotation and external rotation) and degree of humeral head height loss were measured at 1, 6, 12 months after operation and at the last follow-up. The Neer score and visual analogue score (VAS) of shoulder joint were evaluated at 12 months after operation and at the last follow-up. The complications were observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-24 months [(18.5±3.8)months]. There were no significant differences in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume and hospitalization time between the two groups (all P>0.05). The fracture healing time in bone grafting group was (3.1±0.7)months, shorter than (4.2±0.9)months in non-bone grafting group ( P<0.05). In the two groups, the postoperative shoulder joint range of motion and degree of humeral head height loss increased significantly over time (all P<0.05). At 1, 6, 12 months after operation and at the last follow-up, the shoulder forward flexion range of motion in bone grafting group was (136.2±7.4)°, (139.3±6.9)°, (146.6±6.1)° and (148.4±4.7)°, higher than that in non-bone grafting group [(134.5±6.7)°, (136.5±7.0)°, (137.9±9.2)° and (138.3±7.9)°]; the shoulder extension range of motion in bone grafting group was (37.1±6.3)°, (40.5±4.4)°, (43.1±3.1) ° and (46.6±4.2)°, higher than that in non-bone grafting group [(35.5±4.6)°, (37.9±5.1)°, (41.3±2.5)° and (43.9±3.1)°]; the shoulder internal rotation range of motion in bone grafting group was (50.5±3.2)°, (54.1±5.6)°, (56.6±4.2)° and (58.9±3.6)°, higher than that in non-bone grafting group [(46.9±5.1)°, (50.3±4.2)°, (53.5±2.7)° and (55.4±5.1)°]; the shoulder external rotation range of motion in bone grafting group was (52.2±3.6)°, (55.6±4.3)°, (58.7±4.4)° and (60.2±5.6)°, higher than that in non-bone grafting group [(50.1±4.7)°, (52.6±5.7)°, (55.3±3.2)° and (57.3±4.1)°] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At 1, 6, 12 months after operation and at the last follow-up, the degree of humeral head height loss in bone grafting group was (0.8±0.1)mm, (1.1±0.2)mm, (1.4±0.3)mm and (1.6±0.3)mm, smaller than that in non-bone grafting group [(1.1±0.2)mm, (1.4±0.3)mm, (1.7±0.6)mm and (2.0±0.5)mm] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). In the two groups, the postoperative shoulder joint range of motion and degree of humeral head height loss increased significantly over time (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Neer score of shoulder joint between the two groups before operation ( P<0.05). At 1, 6, 12 months after operation and at the last follow-up, the Neer score of shoulder joint in bone grafting group was (80.2±5.4)points, (82.1±5.0)points, (85.4±5.8) points and (90.3±4.6)points, higher than that in non-bone grafting group [(75.6±5.1)points, (80.4±5.5)points, (83.5±2.2)points and (87.4±4.8)points] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no significant difference in VAS between the two groups before operation, at 1, 6, 12 months after operation or at the last follow-up (all P>0.05). The complication rate was 11.1% (2/18) in bone grafting group and was 20.8% (5/24) in non-bone grafting group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For comminuted proximal humeral fractures in the elderly, locking plate internal fixation combined with autogenous iliac bone grafting can accelerate fracture healing, improve shoulder joint range of motion, promote functional recovery, and reduce complications in comparison with locking plate internal fixation alone.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of minimally invasive poking reduction technique in the treatment of single segment thoracolumbar fractures without neural impairment.Methods From February 2011 to June 2015,83 cases of thoracolumbar fractures without neural impairment underwent minimally invasive pedicle screw fixation in Linyi Central Hospital were selected and randomly divided into two groups.Group A (40 cases) was treated with poking reduction technique by percutaneous polyaxial pedical screw fixation,43 patients in group B were treated with only percutaneous polyaxial pedicle screw fixation.The perioperative index,pre-and postoperative radiography,relief of the low back pain and general health status of the two groups were recorded and compared.Results There were no statistically significant differences in the operation time,operative blood loss,hospitalization time.All patients were followed up for 20-27months (average 24 months),the scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disablity index(ODI) had no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the same period(all P ＞ 0.05).Before operation,the Cobb angle,sagittal index and anterior height of the fracture vertebral body in group A were (66.3 ± 14.2) ％,(20.4 ± 6.5) °,(21.9 ± 6.6) °,respectively,which in group B were (64.8 ± 13.5) ％,(14.5 ± 7.7) °,(15.6 ± 5.9) °,respectively,the differences were not statistically significant (all P ＞ 0.05).After operation,the Cobb angle,sagittal index and anterior height of the fracture vertebral body in group A were (93.8 ± 9.8)％,(5.3 ± 3.3) °,(5.4 ± 2.0) °,respectively,which in group B were (88.0 ± 10.6) ％,(4.1 ± 2.8) °,(8.1 ± 4.7) °,respectively,the differences were statistically significant (t =8.893,2.345,3.351,all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The effect of poking reduction technique by percutaneous polyaxial pedical screw fixation is better than simply polyaxial pedicle screw in the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture,which is a safe and effective operation method.
