Objective To evaluate the safety and effect of extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for high-risk prostate cancer. Methods From January 2012 to August 2015, 49 patients diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer underwent extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with 'sandwich' urethra reconstruction. Results None converted to open surgery and the mean operative time was (2.15 ±0.29) h, mean intraoperative blood loss was (60.25 ± 20.29) ml. No rectal injury was observed. The patients were ambulant 1 to 2 days postoperatively. Pelvic lymph nodes metastasis was found in 5 cases. Positive margin was found in 13 cases. Mild urinary incontinence oc-curred in 3 cases. Urethral stenosis occurred in 2 cases. Biochemical relapses occurred on 5 cases during the follow-ing period of 1~43 months for 46 cases. Conclusions Extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is safe and effective in treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. The very key is to master the anatomy of prostate and laparoscop-ic techniques.

Radiation therapy is one of the main therapeutic means of thoracic malignant tumors .When re-ceived certain radiation ,lung may cause the common complication of chest tumor radiotherapy -Radiation -in-duced Lung Injury ( RILI) ,which restricts the radiation dose for the tumor region and may affect patient outcomes . RILI is closely associated with multiple cytokines ,such as interleukin family,tumor necrosis factor,transforming growth factor,etc.Currently,research on RILI control methods has also made some breakthrough ,this article elab-orates on this individually .

Glioma is the most common malignant brain tumor with high malignancy and lethality.The specific potential radiolabeled nanoparticles have been applied in the glioma research for non-invasive,dynamic,real-time and quantitative evaluation.Furthermore,radiolabeled nanoparticles have shown great potential in targeted therapy of glioma.The up-to-date application of radiolabeled nanoparticles in SPECT imaging,PET imaging,multimodality imaging and theranostics in glioma are reviewed in this article.

Acute pancreatitis(AP) is mainly caused by gallstone disease and excessive alcohol consumption.Overall, about one fifth of patients develop into severe acute pancreatitis( SAP), which is still associated with a mortality rate exceeding 30%. This type of AP is usually accompanied by necrosis of the pancreas and/or organ failure. Treatment of SAP in several aspects, such as the application of antibiotics, nutritional support, surgical time, the method of operation, are still in dispute. In recent years, minimally invasive technique is increasingly used in the treatment of SAP, and some patients may benefit from the adoption of minimally invasive surgery.This article aims to review the current progress on the treatment of SAP.

Objective To investigate reconstructive repair methods of a large scalp defect with the granulation tissue wounds and skull exposure caused by the trauma.Methods Skin and soft tissue expansion technique was used to repair eight patients with a large scalp defect with the granulation tissue wounds and skull exposure caused by the trauma.The skin and soft tissue expanders were embedded under normal epicranial aponeurosis after the formation of fresh granulation tissue wound.Strict aseptic technique as well as water injection was done in the expansion process and moderate expansion to maintain rich blood circulation in the expansive parts.Results 12 skin and soft tissue expanders were implanted in 8 patients and the scalp wounds were completely repaired.No infection was detected after surgery and injection expansion process.Conclusions The skin and soft tissue expansion can be used to reconstruct post-traumatic scalp defect with granulation tissue wound and skull exposure.

Objective To investigate the effect of malignant tumor on neuromuscular block of cisatracurium. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients with head and neck neoplasms (15 cases with benign tumor, 45 with malignant tumor), aged 18-64 yr, were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 15 each): Ⅰ benign tumor group (group B,3 × ED95 ); Ⅱ -Ⅳ different dose cisatracurium group (group C1 (2 × ED95 ), C2 (3 × ED95 ) and C3 (4 ×ED95)). Neuromuscular block was assessed with accelerograph F (TOF-watch SX). Single stimulation of ulnar nerve was used. Anesthesia was induced with TCI of propofol (target plasma concentration 3 μg/ml) and remifentanil (target effect-site concentration 3 ng/ml). Tracheal intubation was facilitated with cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg in group B, and with cisatracurium 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 mg/kg in group C1, C2 and C3 respectively. The onset time, clinical duration, time for recovery of T/Tc to 75 % and recovery index were recorded. Results The clinical duration, time for recovery of T/Tc to 75 % and recovery index were significantly longer in group C2 than in group B (P ＜ 0.05). The onset time was significantly shorter, while the clinical duration and time for recovery of T/Tc to 75% were significantly longer in group C2 and C3 than in group C1 , and in group C3 than in group C2 ( P ＜0.05) .Conclusion The duration of action and recovery times of cisatracurium were prolonged in patients with malignant tumor.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effect of steroids on reducing postoperative edema in rhinoplasty.

METHODSCochrane, Medline data, Pubmed date, were searched and updated on October 2013. Randomized controlled trials(RCTS) studies were included to assess the efficacy of steroids on decreasing postoperative edema after rhinoplasty. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated, and date analyses were performed using the Cochrane Collaboration's software RevMan 5.2.

RESULTSA total of 4 RCTS involved 172 patients with rhinoplasty, including 87 patients in the experimental group( steroid) and 85 paitents in control group (placebo). Meta analysis results showed the edema in experimental group was significantly less than that in the control group on postoperative day 1 and 3 (P < 0.01), while the difference was not significant on postoperative day 7 (P = 0.19).

CONCLUSIONSPerioperative application of steroid in rhinoplasty can significantly reduce periorbital edema in the first postoperative day. The edema can completely be relieved after application of steroid for 3 days. It is a safe and effective way to reduce the postoperative edema.
