We trained the residents comprehensively according to the characteristics of echocardiography in terms of theoretical knowledge, clinical manipulative skills, clinical thinking ability, scientific research ability and communication and team cooperation ability, and carried out the relative examination according to the training. On the basis of practice, we explored the establishment of a standardized training mode and evaluation system suitable for echocardiography resident doctors in China.

Objective To examine how ischemic time under common temperature affects acute rejection by using a rat vascularized skin transplantation model.Methods Vascularized groin flaps were transplanted from BN to Lewis rats with 1,2,3 and 4 h of ischemic time (Isc-1 h,2 h,3 h,4 h groups) under common temperature,and the allografts in each group were evaluated daily.Groin flaps were transplanted from Lewis to Lewis rats as control group.Biopsy samples taken from the each group on the postoperative day 2-8 were graded for signs of acute rejection.Biopsy samples taken from each group on the postoperative day 6 were stained for chemokine receptor CXCR3.Results When the ischemia time was 1,2,3 and 4 h,the survival time of the grafts was (9.0 ± 1.2),(8.6 ±1.1),(8.8 ± 1.3),and (7.0 ± 0.8) days respectively.The survival time in Isc-4 h group was significantly shorter than in other groups (P＜0.05).Histological evaluation showed acceleration of activated lymphocyte infiitration in the Isc-4 h group as compared with other g.roups.Furthermore,the proportion of CXCR3 positive cells in the Isc-4 h group was (50.1 ± 8.4) ％,significantly higher than that in the other groups on the day 6 after transplantation.Conclusion When ischemic time was over 3 h,the immune response is accelerated.The acceleration is associated with the higher expression of CXCR3 in the infiltrated cells.

BACKGROUND: Most reported biomechanical studies on sacroiliac joint injury and fixation use cadavers or artificial bone models to simulate the sacroiliac joint injury.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the vertical stability of anterior plate fixation for sacroiliac joint dislocation using three-dimensional finite element method. METHODS: The anterior plate fixation model of unilateral sacroiliac joint dislocation was constructed on the basis of the three-dimensional finite element model of a complete pelvis. An axial load of 500 N was applied on the model; the cloud pictures of stress, strain and displacement were obtained after calculation and compared with that of the complete pelvis under the same conditions.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Stress concentration occurred at the internal fixation system; the maximum stress was found at the screws near the injured sacroiliac joint, far greater than the maximum stress of the complete pelvis under the same condition. The maximum strain was found in the healthy sacroiliac joint; the fixed sacroiliac joint had no strain. The maximum displacement was found in the injured sacroiliac joint; it was about twice longer than the complete pelvis. These findings indicate that the vertical stability of pelvis is poor using anterior plate internal fixation treatment for sacroiliac joint dislocation; and stress concentration occurs at the screws and plates.

Objective To discuss the feasibility and long-term effect of free latissimus dorsi muscle flap in repair of severe lower extremity injury in children. Methods From July 1999 to June 2004, nine child patients (at age of 6-13 years) with severe lower extremity injury involving soft tissue defects a-round the calf and the foot associated with complex open fractures, bare dislocation, and injury of the nerve, tendon and artery were repaired with free latissimus donsi flap, with flap area ranging from 30 cm ×12 cm to 10 cm × 5 cm. Results All the latissimus dorsi flaps survived, with success rate of 100%. A follow-up for 4-9 years showed that the flap had sound shape and function and normal blood supply, without significant influence on donor area. Conclusion Latissimus dorsi flap has advantages of constant anatomical site, abundant blood supply, massive area, strong anti-infection ability and less in-fluence on donor area and hence is an ideal method for repairing severe lower extremity injury in children.

Background Aspheric intraocular lens (IOL) is designed to reduce the spherical aberration of the eye after cataract surgery and to obtain better visual quality.However,the selection of a personalized aspheric IOL is a problem to be solved.Objective This study was to compare the wavefront aberration and quality of vision of patients between the implantation of negative spherical aberration IOL and non-aberration IOL,and to investigate the relationship between corneal Q values and postoperative spherical aberration.Methods One hundred and four eyes of 90 patients with age-related cataract were randomized into two groups.Fifty-two eyes of 46 patients who received a Tecnis Z9001 IOL implantation were assigned as the negative spherical aberration IOL group and 52 eyes of 44 patients who received Akreos AO IOL without aberration were assigned as the non-aberration IOL group.The preoperative corneal Q values were measured and the mean Q value(Q)was computed.Then the patients in the two groups were further divided into 2 subgroups,respectively,based on their Q values were over or below (Q）.The corneal Q values,root mean square(RMS) of ocular spherical aberration,coma and total higher-order aberrations(HOAs) for 5 mm diameter pupil,scotopic contrast sensitivity with or without glare at 6 mm pupil diameter were measured 3 months after surgery.Results The pre-and post-operative corneal Q values were insignificantly changed (t =1.447,P =0.151).The spherical aberration in the negative spherical aberration IOL group was(0.059-±0.047)μm,and that in the non-aberration IOL group was(0.110±0.066)μm,with a statistically significant difference between them (t =-4.567,P=0.000).Scotopic contrast sensitivities at intermediate and high frequencies were significantly better in the negative spherical aberration IOL group than in the non-aberration IOL group (t =2.495,t =2.359,P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in coma and HOAs between the two groups after operation (P ＞ 0.05).Weak positive correlations were seen between the pre-and post-operative corneal Q values and spherical aberration in the two groups(r=0.277,0.292,0.285,0.325,all at P＜0.05).However,no significant differences were found in spherical aberration,contrast sensitivity and scotopic contrast sensitivity between the different subgroups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Negative spherical aberration IOL has lower spherical aberration and better scotopic contrast sensitivity than non-aberration IOL.The results suggest that it may be not enough to choose the corneal Q value only as the single reference criterion for selection of aspheric IOL.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous suture by QuillTM SRS self-retaining suture for closing choledoch incision. Methods From January 2015 to October 2015, 66 patients with gall bladder calculi combined with common bile duct stones who received laparoscopic gallbladder excision, common bile duct explo-ration, laparoscopy choledochotomy, suture choledoch immediately were randomly divided into two groups, experi-mental group using QuillTM SRS self-retaining suture for closing choledoch incision and control group using tradi-tional absorbable suture for closing choledoch incision. Then observe the operation time, the risk of bile leakage oc-curred in the operation and the risk of bile leakage after operation. Results All patients successfully completed in laparoscopic surgery without laparotomy. Operation time, the risk of bile leakage occurred during operation in exper-imental group has statistically significant difference compared with control group ( < 0.05). The operation time and incidence of intraoperative bile leakage of the experimental group was less and lower than control group, while the risk of bile leakage after operation show no statistically difference ( >0.05). Conclusion Compared with interrupted suture by normal sutures, continuous suture by QuillTM SRS self-retaining suture for closing choledoch incision has the characteristics of shorter operation time and lower incidence of intraoperative and postoperative bile leakage. It is worthy of promoting.
