BACKGROUND:Different embolic materials can be used for bronchial artery embolization in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis. Sodium alginate microspheres and gelatin sponge are two commonly used materials; however, there are relatively few related reports about the comparative analysis on the application effect of these two materials. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of sodium alginate microspheres for bronchial artery embolization on pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis. METHODS:Totaly 157 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis, including 98 male and 59 female patients, aged 22-75 years, were enroled and subjected to bronchial artery embolization using different embolic materials: sodium alginate microspheres group (n=74) and gelatin sponge group (n=83). During the 12 months of folow-up, the clinical curative effect, recurrence and complications condition of these two groups were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The total effective rates of sodium alginate microspheres and gelatin sponge groups were respectively 91.19% and 81.93%, and there was a significant difference between groups (P < 0.05). The recurrence rates of sodium alginate microspheres and gelatin sponge groups were respectively 6.8% and 26.5%, and there was a significant difference between groups (P < 0.05). Additionaly, there was no significant difference in the complications between groups (P > 0.05). These results demonstrate that sodium alginate microspheres for bronchial artery embolization has a better result in the clinical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis with a high clinicaly effective rate and low recurrence rate.

Objective To explore the efficacy of liver retransplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with or without HCC recurrence.Method 131 cases of retransplantation performed between 2003 and 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.Their first and second liver transplantations were both performed in our hospital.Diagnoses of their primary diseases before transplantations were confirmed pathologically after the first transplantation.Patients were divided into two groups in terms of benign causes and HCC.Results Sixty cases were fallen into benign disease group and 65 cases into HCC group.The proportions of main causes of retransplantation were similar between two groups.The graft survival rate of early retransplantation (retransplantation performed within 30 days after the first transplantation) and late retransplantation (retransplantation performed beyond 30 days after the first transplantation) was calculated and compared respectively due a great difference in survival rate between the two phrases.The deaths of HCC patients with HCC recurrence before retransplantation were more than those without HCC recurrence (P＜0.01) and benign disease group.The 5-year cumulated survival rate was close between HCC patients without recurrence before retransplantation (51.0％) and benign disease group (51.8％).Conclusion The retransplantation after HCC recurrence has an unacceptable prognosis.The survival rate was similar between patients without HCC recurrence and patients with benign diseases.HCC patients without recurrence should not be restrained from retransplantation just for the HCC history.

ObjectiveTo summarize 20 ABO-incompatible liver transplantation cases in our hospital and explore the treatment strategy. MethodsFrom January 2009 to July 2011,20 cases donorrecipient ABO blood type not-identical liver transplantation was performed at our hospital. 16 cases were ABO-incompatible(ABO-Ⅰ) and 4 were ABO-compatible(ABO-C ).The median follow-up was (13.3 ± 9.2) months.ResultsExcept preoperative MELD score,there were no significant difference in other perioperative data,the incidence of postoperative complications and the cumulative survival rate between ABO-C and ABO-Ⅰ group.There were 5 deaths in 20 cases,2 cases in ABO-C group and 3 cases in ABO-Ⅰ group,survival rate was 75％.The cause of death was perioperative multiple organ failure in 2 cases,liver cancer recurrence in 2 cases and cerebral hemorrhage in 1 case.There were 2 cases of acute rejection,3 cases of biliary complications and 3 cases of portal vein thrombosis developing postoperatively. Eleven patients had increased serum creatinine after operation,preoperative high creatinine existed in 6 cases and it maintained posttransplant high level for more than 7 days,the serum creatinine level in other 7 patients was back to normal level in 7 days.ConclusionsA combination splenectomy before the portal vein reperfusion,the protocol of basiliximab,tacrolimus (TAC)/mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)/steroids immunosuppression treatment,postoperative peripheral vascular dilatation treatment by Alprostadil,help achieve favorable outcome in selected patients who underwent ABO-incompatible liver transplant.

BACKGROUND:Clavicular hook plates have been used widely to treat acromioclavicular dislocations in recent years. However, it remains controversial whether coracoclavicular ligament should be repaired during the surgery.
OBJECTIVE:To study the clinical effect and MRI manifestations after treatment of type III and V acute acromioclavicular Rockwood dislocation with clavicular hook plate, and to discuss the necessity of repairing coracoclavicular ligament during the surgery.
METHODS:A total of 44 patients with type III and V acute acromioclavicular Rockwood dislocations were treated with clavicular hook plates without repair of coracoclavicular ligaments, and underwent plate removal operations later. At 24 months after the second surgery, X-rays were taken to measure the width of coracoclavicular joints in both normal and affected limbs, Constant-Murley scores were calculated in both sides, and MR images were used to observe the healing of coracoclavicular ligaments.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:39 patients (89%) were fol owed up for 36.9±3.1 months (range, 30 to 45 months). The mean duration for retaining clavicular hook plates was 12.9±3.1 months (range, 6 to 21 months). The mean width of coracoclavicular joints was 6.04±1.21 mm (range, 4.3 to 8.8 mm) in normal limb, while 5.09±1.18 mm (range, 3.4 to 7.8 mm) in affected side without significant difference (P>0.05). The mean Constant-Murley score was 98.9±1.2 (range, 96 to 100) in normal limb, while 96.7±3.4 (range, 90 to 100) in affected side without significant difference (P>0.05). MRI showed healing of the coracoclavicular ligaments and the presence of continuous scar tissue in 38 patients, excluding one patient with recurrence of acromioclavicular joint dislocation. The clinical effects after treatment of type III and V acute acromioclavicular Rockwood dislocation with clavicular hook plate are satisfactory, and it is unnecessary to repair coracoclavicular ligament during the surgery. MR images reveal scar healing of the coracoclavicular ligaments without operative repair.

Objective Through comparing ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) with surgical resection for the treatment of nodular goiter to evaluate the effect of RFA on the thyroid function.Methods A total of 50 patients with nodular goiter,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from January 2010 to January 2013 to receive ultrasound-guided MWA,were selected and used as the study group;and other 96 patients with nodular goiter,who were encountered at authors' hospital during the same period to receive partial thyroidectomy,were collected and used as the control group.Of the 50 patients in the study group,RFA of unilateral lobe nodules was performed in 8 and RFA of bilateral lobe nodules in 42.Among the 96 patients in the control group,unilateral lobe nodules were seen in 52 and bilateral lobe nodules in 44.Postoperative complications were recorded,the serum FT3,FT4,TSH levels were determined at one week,as well as one,3,6 and 12 months after the treatment.The results were statistically analyzed.Results All patients were followed up for 12 months.In the study group,no complications occurred;one week after RFA the serum FT3 and FT4 levels increased while the serum TSH level decreased when compared with preoperative ones,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).In the control group,bleeding asphyxia occurred in one patient,hoarseness in 5 patients and hypocalcemia convulsion in 3 patients.One week after partial thyroidectomy,the serum FT3 and FT4 levels increased while the serum TSH level decreased when compared with preoperative data,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).One week after surgery thyroxine replacement therapy was routinely given to 44 patients who had received bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy.Three patients who had received unilateral subtotal thyroidectomy developed hypothyroidism at 3,6 and 8 months after the surgery respectively.In other 49 patients receiving unilateral subtotal thyroidectomy the serum FT3,FT4,TSH levels determined at one,3,6 and 12 months after surgery were significantly different from those in the patients of the study group (P＜0.05).Conclusion For the treatment of nodular goiter,ultrasound-guided MWA is quite safe.MWA has very slight effect on thyroid function and is definitely superior to subtotal thyroidectomy.Therefore,MWA is a minimally invasive technique which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules.Methods A total 456 patients (912 nodules) underwent microwave ablation in our department.Microwave ablation was carried out using microwave antenna under local anesthesia.Nodule volume,thyroid function and clinical symptoms were evaluated before treatment and at 1 ,3,6 and 12 months after the treatment to monitor changes in the volume,adverse effect and complications.Results 912 nodules were all studied with contrast-enhanced ultrasound immediately after the ablation,and all results showed “black hole”sign.The mean follow-up period after microwave ablation was (9±6)months (range,3-24 months).At 6-month follow-up,the mean volume reduction ratio of the solid nodules,mixed nodules and the cystic nodules was (61 ± 50 )%,(81 ± 33 )%,(89 ± 46 )%, respectively.The treatment was well tolerated and no major complications were observed except pain and transient voice changes (2.4%).Conclusions Microwave ablation is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation combined with hormone suppression therapy for solitary papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.Methods A total of 25 patients with 25 nodules pathologically proven solitary papillary carcinoma 3.7 to 10.0 mm in diameter without clinically apparent lymph node,or distant metastasis were treated with microwave ablation equipement.Microwaves were emitted at 40 W for 200 -400 seconds and prolonged as necessary to attain confluent ablation zones.All patients were treated with both extended ablation therapy and levothyroxine that maintain TSH levels below 0.1 mU/L.Thyroid function test,nodule volume and clinical symptom were evaluated before ablation and during 1 ,3,6,9 and 12 months after treatment according to changes in tumor size,adverse reactions,complications and metastatic tumors.Three out of 25 patients received surgical treatment and the other 22 patients were followed up with routine ultrasound and contrast enhanced ultrasound.Results All 25 tumors were completely ablated by using mutiple plane fixed melting method and no serious or permanent complications occurred.No recurrence at the treatment site or distant metastase were detected,with a mean follow-up of 1 8 months.Histological examination showed no evidence of a tumor in the treated lesions in the 3 surgery patients.Conclusions Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation appears to be a safe and effective technique for the therapy of solitary papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.
