Objective To summarize our experience in the diagnosis and management of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES). Methods This is a retrospective study on 10 patients (13 limbs)who were admitted for symptoms of claudication and the diagnosis of popliteal entrapment was established either with angiography,computed tomographic angiography,magnetic resonance angiogram or during the operation in recent 7 years (2002-2009).All patients were treated surgically. Results The mean age at the time of presentation was (25 ±7) years old (range,17-41 years).Claudication was the most frequent presenting symptom (12 limbs).The surgical procedures consisted of simple musculotendinous dissociation in 1 limb,thrombectomy with balloon angioplasty in 1 limb,musculotendinous dissociation plus thromboendarterectomy with autogenous saphenous vein (ASV)patch angioplasty in 2 limbs,ASV graft interposition or bypass in 6 limbs and graft interposition or bypass in 3 limbs.At a median follow-up of (35 ±27) months (range,2 months-7 years),there were no intraoperative or long-term postoperative complications and all the patients were cured. Conclusions PAES is an unusual but important cause of peripheral vascular insufficiency especially in young patients.A combined approach is necessary for diagnosis.Popliteal artery release alone or with vein bypass or reconstruction is the treatment of choice.

AIM: To elucidate the change in TFF3 mRNA in the lung tissue in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rats. METHODS: A model of rat COPD was established by passive cigarette smoking and intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide. The expression of TFF3 mRNA in the lung tissues was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: Through a semi-quantitative pathological analysis, mean lung internal lining interval (MLI) in COPD model group was significantly increased compared with healthy control groups; mean alveolar number (MAN) in COPD model group was significantly decreased compared with healthy control group. The expression of TFF3 mRNA decreased significantly in the lung tissue in COPD model group compared with healthy control group. CONCLUSION: The level of TFF3 mRNA expression is possibly related with lung tissue lesion in COPD rats. [

Objective To assess the efficacy of radiofrequency therapy combined with ozone injection in the treatment of lumbar disc protrusion. Methods A total of 202 patients with lumbar disk protrusion were included and divided into three groups:radiofrequency (RF) group, ozone (Oz) group, and combination (Co) group. The efficacy was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS), Macnab curative effect evaluation, and oswestry disability index (ODI) at 1d, 1m and 6m after treat?ment. Results There were no significant differences in gender, age, the course of disease, preoperative VAS scores and ODI scores (P>0.05). All patients were operated successfully. There were no infection of the intervertebral disc, no compli?cations of spinal cord, nerve and no blood vessel injury. There were no significant differences in preoperative VAS and ODI scores between three groups. The VAS and ODI scores were significantly lower at 6 month and 12 month after operation in Co group combined with those of RF group and Oz group. There were no significant differences in these two scores between RF group and Oz group (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in effective rates at 1d, 6 month and 12 month after operation between three groups (P>0.05). But the excellent and good effective rates were higher in Co group than those of RF and Oz groups. There were no significant differences in excellent and good effective rates between RF group and Oz group. Conclusion The therapy of radiofrequency combined with ozone injection is an efficient and mini-invasive tech?nique for the treatment of lumbar disc protrusion and worth promoting.
