OBJECTIVETo investigate the applications of percutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures and its related surgical considerations.
METHODSFrom June 2010 to June 2012,19 patients with pelvic fractures were treated with percutaneous hollow screws. There were 13 males and 6 females, with an average age of 41 years (ranged from 22 to 58 years). Fractures were caused by traffic accidents in 11 cases, by falling down from high place in 8 cases. Based on the Tile classification, there were 15 cases of Tile C type and 4 case of Tile B type. The indexes such as screw inserting time, intraoperative blood loss, complications, functional recovery and reduction conditions were observed. Fixation methods included sacroiliac screws, cannulated screw fixation of the pubic ramus and cannulated screw fixation of the pubic symphysis separation.
RESULTSAnatomical reduction achieved in 7 cases, satisfactory reduction 11 cases, and unsatisfactory reduction 1 case. Union time of fracture union ranged from 8 to 12 weeks (mean 10 weeks). Wound infection,ununion of fracture and nerve injuries were not found. According to the Majeed standards, 12 patients obtained an excellent results, 6 good and 1 fair.
CONCLUSIONPercutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures under fluoroscopy has several advantages such as less trauma, less blood loss, fewer rates of complications, reliable fixation and no blood transfusion, which can reconstruct the stability of the pelvic ring, but it needs adequate preoperative preparation and high requirements for the surgeon.

Objective To detect genetic polymorphism of myeloperoxidase (MPO) gene and catalase (CAT) gene and their activities, and to analyze their relationship with arsenic poisoning caused by coal-burning. Methods One hundred and thirty arsenic poisoning patients were chosen as case group in Jiaole Village, Xingren County, Guizhou Province(an endemic area). One hundred and forty healthy residents living in 13 km away were chosen as control group. Their blood was collected. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique(PCR-RFLP) was used to detect polymorphism of MPO-463G/A and CAT-262C/T. Ultraviolet spectmphotometer method was used to detect myeloperoxidase activity. Chromatometry method was used to detect catalase activity. Results The genotype frequency of MPO-463G/A at GG, GA, AA site was 47.24%(60/127), 44.09%(56/127),8.67% (11/127) in case group and 42.34% (58/137),48.17% (66/137)1,9.49% (13/137) in control group, respectively. The difference between the two groups was not significant(χ2 = 0.642, P > 0.05). The genotype frequency of CAT-262C/T, at CC, CT, TT site was 65.60%(82/125),28.80%(36/125),5.60%(7/125) in case group and 76.51%(101/132), 18.94% (25/132) ,4.55% (6/132) in control group, respectively, without significant difference (χ2 =3.845, P>0.05). The relationship between polymorphism of MPO-463G/A and CAT-262C/T and the risk of arsenic poisoning was not found in this study(ORadj= 1.36, 95%CI: 0.74-2.50 for MPO; ORadj=1.35, 95%CI: 0.69-2.63 for CAT). The activities of MPO and CAT were (25.30±8.70)U/L and (2.80± 1.09)×103 U/L in case group, while (22.76±7.59)U/L and (3.90±1.01)×103U/L in control group with a significant difference(F=0.760 for MPO, F=0.855 for CAT, all P < 0.05). The genotype of MPO-463G/A and CAT-262C/T was not found to have relationship with the activities of MPO, CAT(F=1.312,2.822 for MPO; F= 0.151,0.036 for CAT, P>0.05). Conclusions Genetic polymorphism of MPO-463G/A and CAT-262C/T is not found to have relationship with arsenic poisoning. Arsenic can lead to the change of MPO and CAT activity, which, however, may not be affected by MPO-463G/A and CAT-262C/T polymorphism.
10. Clinical controlled study of laparoscopic and open resection for gastrointestinal stromal tumors of stomach: A single center experience
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2016;37(7):905-909
Objective To compare the clinical efficacies between open resection and laparoscopic resection for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) of stomach, and to discuss the indications of laparoscopic resection for GISTs. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 174 patients with GISTs undergoing either open (open resection group [ORG], n = 76) or laparoscopic resection (laparoscopic resection group [LRG], n=98) from July 2008 to April 2014 at Changhai Hospital. The patients, according to tumor size (max diameter), were divided into two subgroups: <5 cm (113 cases: 35 cases for ORG and 78 cases for LRG), ≥5 cm and ≤10 cm (61 cases: 41 cases for ORG and 20 cases for LRG). The data for analysis included gender, age, tumor size, risk grading, mitotic rate, surgical type, operative time, intraoperation blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative feeding time, and 5-year tumor-free survival time, etc. Results The gender, age, tumor size, risk grading, mitotic rate and surgical type of patients had no significant differences between the laparoscopic and open resection groups for the two tumor size groups. When the tumor size <5 cm, the operation time was similar for the two surgical approaches, but the blood loss, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative feeding time were significantly reduced in LRG compared with ORG (P<0. 01). When the tumor size ≥5 cm and ≤10 cm, the operation time and postoperative hospital stay were similar between ORG and LRG, but the blood loss and postoperative feeding time of LRG were significantly less than those of ORG (P<0. 05). The 5-year tumor-free survival time was not significantly different between LRG and ORG for the two tumor size groups. Conclusion When the tumor size is <5 cm, laparoscopic resection is more safe and reliable than open resection for the gastrointestinal stromal tumor of stomach; when the tumor size is ≥5 cm and ≤10 cm, laparoscopic resection is safe and feasible after appropriate preoperative evaluation and patient selection.
