Objective To evaluate the feasibility of trans-umbilicus two-port laparoscopic procedures in pediatric surgery.Methods Sixty children (age, 3 months～14 years; mean, 3.5 years) with indirect inguinal hernia and 40 children (age, 2.5～14 years; mean, 6.3 years) with appendicitis underwent supra-high ligation and appendectomy, respectively, by using mini laparoscope from January 2003 to December 2003. During the supra-high ligation, the camera and forceps were respectively introduced via the left and right side of umbilical ring, and a hernial-ring needle with suture was brought in at the site of body surface projection of internal ring to apply external knotting. During the appendectomy, laparoscopic instruments were put through the site of right McBurney’s point, and explorations for contralateral hernia or other digestive tract malformations were applied simultaneously. Results All the operations were completed smoothly. The mean operating time was 8.5 min and 55.7 min in hernia repair (per side) and appendectomy, respectively. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 1～2 days in children with indirect inguinal hernia and 5～7 days in children with appendicitis. Follow-up for 3～12 months showed no recurrence of hernia except for 1 case of intraoperatively misdiagnosed latent hernia, which relapsed 2 months after the surgery. Postoperative abdominal cavity infection took place in 2 cases of perforated appendicitis. Conclusions Trans-umbilicus two-port laparoscopic technique is simple to perform, safe and minimally invasive. The technique has fewer complications and gives satisfactory cosmetic results, being highly recommended.

Recent years,progress has been made on the basic researches and clinical applications of ocular surface reconstruction with autologous or allogeneic limbal stem cells,oral mucosa epithelium and ex vivo cultured limbal stem cells.However,there are several issues,including the successful treatment for severe ocular damage,longterm follow-up and evaluation of clinical outcome,and the in vivo tracking of donor stem cells,remained to have definitive conclusions.Future studies should address the questions and challenges based on the basic research of limbal stem cell deficiency and standardized evaluation of clinical outcome.

Objective To summarize clinical data of 33 patients with off-pumb coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCABG) procedure and analyze the benefit and curative effects of OPCABG procedure. Methods From February 2002 to June 2005,33 patients with cardiac function in class Ⅱ-Ⅲ (NYHA) and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) was 34%-68%,and all of them underwent coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass. Results After operation,There was no death, the cardiac function improved in various degree. Preoperative angina disappeared. Conclusion OPCABG procedure is a safe, available, effective method for coronary artery disease.

Objective To assess the efficacy and clinical resuhs of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in Stanford type B aortic dissection,and to explore the therapentic strategy and prevention of complication.Methods Fifty-eight patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection underwent TEVAR were enrolled,and were followed up regularly.Results The technical feasibility and success with deployment proximal to the entry tear was 100.0％(58/58),requiring partial coverage of the left subclavian artery in 20 patients and total coverage in 4 patients,and 2 patients used chimney stents.Hospital mortality was 5.2％ (3/58).Type Ⅰ endoleak was found in 11 patients (19.0％,11/58).In 55 survival patients,48 patients occurred thrombosis in pseudocoele and 2 patients' endoleak disappeared.Seven patients' endoleak appeared blood flow.Forty-eight patients(87.3 ％,48/55) were followed up for 3-68 months.Two patients died,and 2 patients' endoleak disappeared,with total suberization in pseudocoele.Other 5 patients' endoleak relieved,with partial suberization in pseudocoele.One patient had new intimal tear at the distal end of the stent-graft and required a second stent implantation.Conclusion TEVAR is safe and effective for the treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection.

Objective To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of venous drug-induced infective endocarditis(IE). Methods The 17 cases of drug-induced IE were found to have valvular vegetations,16 patients had involvement of tricuspid valve, 1 mitral valve associated with ventrieular septal defect. Preoperative blood culture was positive in 8 patients. The operations included tricuspid valve repair (6 cases),tricuspid valve replacement(8 cases), mitral valve replacement and VSD closure(1 cases). Results All patients were alive and discharges. After follow-up of 6 months to 6 years, 1 case had severd tricuspid alve regurgitation, 1 had haemoptysis because of incorrect anticoagulation. Conclusions This study indicated surgical intervention is effective treatment of venous drug-induced infective endocarditis.

Objective To explore the value of free anterolateral thigh flaps in the reconstruction of maxillofacial defects after resection.Methods Patients were recruited from January,2008 to March,2016 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Nanjing University.All patients sunder when reconstructive surgery employing anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flaps follow-up of 3 months to 84 months after operation.Results Among 422 cases,survived completely with satisfied configuration,the survival rate was 98.6％.Postoerative vessel thrombosis occurred in flaps,21 patients required operative exploration in the perioperative period including 10 flaps with thrombotic events and 11 flaps with venous thrombosis were complete survival after the salvages,and 6 flaps were failure.The mean follow-up was 36.5 months (range:3 to 84 months).Conclusion The free anterolateral thigh flap is an ideal choice for reconstruction of maxillofacial defects,as it has many advantages such as abundance volume,easily molding and adjusting the thickness,possessing,long vascular pedicle,composition need to be adjusted according to defects,easily concealed donor site,and little donor site complications and malformation.

Objective To analyze relevant factors of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia residual or recurrence after loop electri‐cal excision procedure(LEEP) .Methods We observed the patients who were histopathologically confirmed CIN and treated with LEEP in our hospital from January 2006 to September 2012 ,and investigated the postoperative residual and recurrence .Then we an‐alysed relevant factors of residual or recurrence .Results (1)After at least 2 years of follow‐up ,26 cases showed residual or recur‐rence(the residual rate was 0 .97% and the recurrence rate was 4 .08% ) .(2)Overall severity of residual or recurrence had been re‐duced ,but the severity and recurrence of preoperative severity was positively correlated(r=0 .354 0 ,P<0 .05) .(3)Age ,smoking , preoperative high‐risk HPV load ,post‐operative the same type of HPV continuous infection ,endocervical involvement ,lesions in‐vo1ving quadrants ,and post‐operative TCT results between the recurrence group and non‐recurrence group were statistically signifi‐cant different(P<0 .05) .Conclusion CIN residual or recurrence after LEEP might be affected by many factors ,and the treatment should be individualized .
