Objective To investigate the effects of preoperative jaundice relieving on hemihepatectomy of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 18 patients who received preoperative percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and drainage (PTCD) or endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) before hemihepatectomy at the Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2007 to January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The condition of the 18 patients (jaundice relieving group) was compared with that of 24 patients (non-jaundice relieving group) who did not receive PTCD or ENBD before hemihepatectomy.The differences in the pre-and postoperative blood loss,blood transfusion,operation time and postoperative incidence of complications between the 2 groups were analyzed.All data were analyzed using the t test or chi-square test.Results After PTCD or ENBD,the levels of total bilirubin (TBil),direct bilirubin (DBil),alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were (27 ± 5) μmol/L,(22 ± 6) μmol/L and (52 ± 42) U/L,which were significantly lower than (287 ± 120)μmol/L,(212 ± 86)μmol/L,and (267 ± 180)U/L before PTCD or ENBD in the jaundice relieving group (t =4.33,6.61,4.19,P ＜0.05).In the jaundice relieving group,left hemihepatectomy was performed on 14 patients,and right hemihepatectomy on 4 patients,and the radical resection rate was 16/18.In the nonjaundice relieving group,left hemihepatectomy was performed on 11 patients,and right hemihepatectomy on 13 patients,and the radical resection rate was 83.3％ (20/24).There was no significant difference in the radical resection rate between the 2 groups (x2 =1.09,P ＞ 0.05).The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,volume of blood transfusion were (5.0 ± 0.8) hours,(562 ± 207) ml and (430 ± 317) ml in the jaundice relieving group,and (6.3 ± 1.5)hours,(815 ± 463)ml and (750 ± 146)ml in the non-jaundice relieving group,with significant differences between the 2 groups (t =4.77,7.80,4.65,P ＜ 0.05).The incidences of postoperative complications,bleeding and postoperative hepatic failure were 3/18,1/18 and 1/18 in the jaundice relieving group,and 75.0％ (18/24),33.3％ (8/24) and 33.3％ (8/24) in the non-jaundice relieving group,with significant differences between the 2 groups (x2=5.14,7.58,7.58,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Preoperative jaundice relieving could shorten the operation time and reduce the volume of intraoperative blood loss and the incidence of postoperative complications.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical experiment of cortical screw in the treatment of tibiofibular syndesmosis separation together with ankle fractures.

METHODSFrom March 2008 to May 2012,42 patients with tibiofibular syndesmosis separation were treated with cortical screw, including 20 cases in the left and 24 cases in the right. All the patients had closed injury. According to Lauge-Hansen classification, there were 18 cases of supination-external rotation, in which 4 patients with injuries belong to type II, 8 patients with injuries belong to type III, 6 patients with injuries belong to type IV; 14 cases of pronation-external rotation, in which 6 patients with injuries belong to type III, 8 patients with injuries belong to type IV; and 12 cases of pronation-abduction, in which 4 patients with injuries belong to type II, 8 patients with injuries belong to type III. According to injury of ankle, 4 patients had injuries in one ankle, 28 patients had injuries in 2 ankles, and 12 patients had injuries in 3 ankles. All the patients were diagnosised definitely in sight of medical history, checking-up, iconography. The clinical effects were evaluated based on Baird-Jackson score and activity degree of ankle.

RESULTSAll the patient were followed up, and the duration ranged from 11 to 23 months, with an average of 15.7 months. No postoperative wound infection, nonunion, and tibiofibular syndesmosis separation again and other complications occurred. Postoperative Baird-Jackson score exhibited 91.56 ± 6.26 (75 to 99), and 26 patients got an excellent result, 10 good, 6 poor and 2 bad. One patient had nail broken after operation,and got good function after removing broken nail without external fixation. Other 1 patient had osteoarthritis to 1 degree, and got better result with the treatment of physical therapy and intra-articular injection.

CONCLUSIONCortex screw is the effective treatment for tibiofibular syndesmosis separation. Clear diagnosis, delicate operation and postoperative reasonable functional exercise are primary factor of prognosis.

Objective:Through histological analysis, immunofluorescence staining, electrophysiological detection and Sensory and motor function evaluation to investigate the effects of 3D printed hydrogel scaffold combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in promoting functional recovery of spinal cord injury.Methods:10% GelMA hydrogel and 10 6 U stem cell suspension were prepared into bioink of appropriate concentration to construct the biomimetic spinal cord scaffold through 3D printing platform. The scaffold was placed in the medium and cultured in an environment of 37 ℃ CO 2 incubator. The microstructure of the scaffolds and the distribution of BMSC in the scaffolds was observed by scanning electron microscope. CAM/PI staining and confocal microscopy were used to observe the survival of stem cells in the scaffolds and determine the biocompatibility of the scaffolds. The scaffolds were implanted into the subcutaneous tissues of the back of rats, and the subcutaneous tissues were determined by HE staining to detect the immunogenicity of the scaffolds. After the rat model of hemicytoma defect was made, stents were transplanted for treatment, and confocal microscopy was used to evaluate the regeneration of neurons and axons in local area of spinal cord injury. At the same time, BBB score was used to evaluate motor function, mechanical pain score was used to evaluate sensory function, and surface electrode detection method was used to evaluate electrophysiological recovery weekly. Results:The long spindle shaped BSMC were uniformly distributed in the scaffold with a loose reticular structure. The scaffolds had good biocompatibility, and the cell survival rate of the prepared scaffolds reached 96% after 24 hours of printing. After 28 days of subcutaneous transplantation, the immune rejection was mild and immunogenicity was low. It was shown that the regenerated spinal cord tissue in the treatment group was significantly increased compared with the control group, which was widely distributed with cells after 28 days by HE staining. It was confirmed that part of the regenerated spinal cord tissue was neurons by immunohistochemical staining.Compared with the injured group, the regeneration of neurons and axons in the treatment group were significantly increased by immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy. In the treatment group, the BBB score recovered to 10 points, while the control group only recovered to about 1 point in the first week, which was statistically significant. And it recovered to 17 in the fourth week, while the control group only recovered to about 4 point in the four week, which was statistically significant. The Angle of inclined plate support of the treatment group was restored to 40 degrees, while it was only restored to 22 degrees in the control group. The pain threshold of the treatment group decreased to 18.5 points, which was not statistically different from that of the control group. The latent recovery effect of electrophysiology in the treatment group was the same as that in the sham operation group and better than that in the control group.Conclusion:3D printing hydrogel scaffold with loose network structure is suitable for cell proliferation. It has well biological survival, low cytotoxicity and low immunogenicity, which promoted neurons and axons to recovery and extend so as to effectively promote the recovery of motor function, sensory function and neural signal transmission rate after spinal cord injury.

Objective To analyze the distribution of image noise in low-dose chest CT scan and optimize the relative scanning parameters.Methods The CT images of the Chinese anthropomorphic chest phantom( CDP-1 C) were simulated into six groups of low-dose images with different noise indexs by using an image noise addition tool.The difference between the preset noise index and analog noise value was compared.The CT images of 20 volunteers were also simulated into nine groups of low dose scans with the tube currents of 10,30,50,80,100,120,150,180 and 240 mA.The noise values of images were recorded and analyzed.Results There was no statistical difference between the analog noise value and the noise index.The image noise of low-dose chest scan was increased with the decrease of tube current.The noise was increased quickly when the current was decreased from 50 to 30 mA ( F =24.09 - 40.79,P ＜ 0.05),but the noise increased slowly when the current decreased from 240 to 80 mA.There was no statistical difference between the noise of 80 mA group and that of 120 mA(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The noise addition tool can be used to evaluate the image noise of low-dose chest CT scan.Adoption of 80 mA in chest CT scan would result in low radiation dose without adding image noise.
