Objective To discuss the clinical effect of titanium elastic intrameduUary nail (TEIN)in treatment of pediatric radial neck fractures. Methods A total of 16 children with radial neck fractures were treated TEIN from February 2008 to February 2010.Long arm cast immobilization was used one week postoperatively and functional exercise was done after removal of the external fixation.Results All the patients were followed up for average 5.3 months (3.5-14.0 months),which showed the average period of bony union for 5.8 weeks(4-7 weeks).Except for one patient who aroused skin soft-tissue irritation symptoms at the nail end,no other complication was found.The range of motion of the elbow and forearm in injury side of all patients Was the same as the normal side. Conclusions The application of TEIN has advantages of minimal invasive lesion,nil effect on pheseal plate,good fracture union,rapid functional rehabilitation and little compliations and hence is one of ideal choices in treatment of pediatric radial neck fracture.

Objective To study the effect of formaldehyde exposure on DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC) in buccal mucosa cells in students who were taking anatomy course.Methods The modified SDS-KCl precipitation assay published by Zhitkovich and Costa in 1992 was applied to detect DNA-protein crosslinks in human cells.And this method has been used to explore DPC induced by different pollutants in numerous studies.37 medical students (20 males and 17 females) aged 19.24?1.09 (mean?standard deviation) and 40 students (20 males and 20 females) in natural science college aged 19.55?0.99 (mean?standard deviation) were studied.The frequency of exposure to formaldehyde was 6 h per week in exposed group.Results Concentrations of formaldehyde in anatomy laboratory ranged from 0.42 to 1.57 mg/m3.Exposure to formaldehyde resulted in an increase of DNA-protein crosslinks.The percentage (mean?standard deviation) of DNA-protein crosslinks in exposed and nonexposed students were 25.72%?6.48% and 22.88%?5.34% respectively(P0.05).Conclusion The result of the present study suggests that formaldehyde exposure in medical students increases the frequency of DNA-protein crosslinks in buccal mucosa cells and females may be more sensitive to formaldehyde exposure.

Objective: To analyze the value and reliability of combined free fibula flap and radial forearm flap in the reconstruction of extensive composite oro-mandibular defects. Methods: Extensive composite oro-mandibular defects were reconstructed in 23 consecutive cases (averagely aged 52.9 years old) with combined free fibula flap and radial forearm flap from March 2000 to January 2002. Data concerning the operation, defect description and site, recipient vessel and complications were reviewed. Results: The overall flap survival rate was 100% (all of 46 flaps) without partial or total flap necrosis. The overall complication rate was 30.4%. The vessel thrombosis rate was 2.2%, and the flap salvage rate was 100%. Conclusion: In selected cases, combined free fibula flap and radial forearm flap method may provide satisfactory reconstruction for extensive oro-mandibular defect, and greatly improve the quality of life of patients.

OBJECTIVEThe paper reviewed the effectiveness and reliability of skin paddles of free fibula flaps in the reconstruction of maxillofacial defects.

METHODSFifty-five consecutive free fibula osteocutaneous flap transfers performed from June 21, 1999 to October 31, 2000 were reviewed. The skin paddles of each flap were analyzed in terms of surgical design, blood supply, size, reconstruction location, and survival.

RESULTSFifty-seven skin paddles were used for the 55 free fibula flaps (double skin paddles for 2 flaps), 37 were nurtured by one perforator, 18 by two and two by 3 perforators. Twenty-eight skin paddles were used for intraoral reconstruction, 7 for extraoral reconstruction, 1 for both intraoral and extraoral reconstruction, 2 for soft tissue augmentation, and the remaining 19 were simply used as window for monitoring the blood flow of fibula flap. One free fibula flap with one skin paddle was lost because of venous thrombosis, and the other 54 flaps survived completely, with 100% survival of 56 skin paddles.

CONCLUSIONThe skin paddle of free fibula flap is safe and reliable. It can be used for all kinds of soft tissue reconstruction, as well as window for monitoring the blood flow of fibula flap after operation.

Head and neck reconstruction using this technique is very safe and reliable, and needs further clinical applications.

Objective To explore the effect of preoperative pulmonary protection therapy on surfactant protein A(SP–A) content in lung tissue and postoperative complications. Methods Sixty patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) who underwent surgical treatment in Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 2015 to June 2016 were enrolled in this study. Thirty patients were included in the control group and 30 patients in the pulmonary protection group. The control group was given routine preoperative preparation, while the pulmonary protection group was given 1 week pulmonary protection therapy on the basis of routine preoperative preparation. The exhaled breath condensate (EBC) was collected and pulmonary function was re-checked after admission and before surgery. The content of SP-A in EBC was detected by ELISA. The lung tissue samples were collected during surgery, and the SP-A level was measured by Western blotting. Results The SP-A level of the pulmonary protection group was significantly higher than that of the control group (1.05±0.21 vs. 0.93±0.16, P<0.05). The SP-A content in the preoperative EBC of the pulmonary protection group was significantly higher than that after admission[(5.51 ± 1.48) ng/L vs. (4.99 ± 1.32) ng/L, P<0.01]. After pulmonary protection treatment, the preoperative pulmonary function index was significantly higher than that after admission (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications between two groups (23.3%vs. 43.3%, P>0.05). The average postoperative hospital stay was statistically significant shorter in the pulmonary protection group than that in the control group[(9.2 ± 3.1) d vs. (11.6 ± 4.8) d, P<0.05]. Conclusion Preoperative pulmonary protection therapy can not only improve pulmonary function and shorten postoperative hospital stay, but also improve SP-A content in lung tissue.
