ObjectiveTo study the expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8) protein in villi and decidua of patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA). MethodsThe local and quantitative expressions of IL-8 in villi and decidua of 30 RSA patients were shown and measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results IL-8 protein immunohistochemical signals were located in the chorioepithelium cytoplasm and decidual cells plasma in RSA group. While in control group the immunohistochemical staining was negative in decidul cells, but positive in glandular epithelium. The quantitative analysis of IL-8 protein by Western blotting, intensity of the immunostaining was higher in RSA group than that in the control group. Conclusion The higher expression of IL-8 in villi and decidua is releated to RSA, IL-8 might take part in the pathologic process of RSA.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of indirect CT lymphography (CT-LG) combined with nanocarbon tracer suspension staining in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection of rabbit tongue (cancer). METHOD: Eight rabbits were divided into two groups, i. e. normal control group (6 rabbits) and VX2 tongue carcinoma group (2 rabbits). Pre-contrast CT images were taken for all rabbits. The mixture of iohexol and nanocarbon tracer suspension (iohexol 0.25 ml and nanocarbon tracer 0.25 ml, respectively, volume ratio = 1:1) was used as contrast agent of indirect CT-LG. Indirect CT-LG was performed as the contrast agent was injection into right ventrolateral submucosa of the tongues. CT images were acquired at 1, 5, 10 and 15 min after injection. RESULT: There were no cervical lymph nodes clearly identified in any group on the pre-contrast CT images. After the contrast agent injection, indirect CT-LG showed an ipsilateral SLN with rapid enhancement which was the only enhanced SLN, located lateral to the larynx-trachea region in all rabbits of VX2 control group and carcinoma group. The CT attenuation values of SLN were (58.80 ± 5.45) HU, (134.80 ± 28.92) HU, (91.00 ± 13.08) HU and (63.80 ± 4.32) HU at 1, 5, 10 and 15 minutes after indirect CT-LG. After the cervical anatomy guided by CT scan, all of the right deep SLN showed a distinct enrichment of black dye highly consistent with the locations on the indirect CT-LG images. CONCLUSION It is more accurate for sentinel lymph node detection by indirect CT lymphography combined with nanocarbon tracer staining.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of treating Freiberg's disease with dorsal wedge osteotomy and Charlotte breakage screw fixation.Methods From June 2010 to June 2014,11 patients with Freiberg's disease were treated at our department.They were 5 males and 6 females at an average age of 32 years(range,from 15 to 52 years).X-ray revealed osteosclerosis and collapse of the metatarsal head.According to Smillie classification system,there were 5 cases of stage Ⅱ and 6 ones of stage Ⅲ.The duration of symptoms was from 7 to 48 months (average,23 months).The metatarsal heads were rotated to reconstruct the joint surface.After dorsal closed V-shaped osteotomy,Charlotte breakage screws were implanted.Results All wounds healed with no complications in the early postoperative period.The 11 patients were followed up for 14 to 48 months (average,19 months),showing obvious pain relief.X-ray showed that the osteotomy sites got solid union in all patients at an average time of 10 weeks (range,from 8 to 13 weeks) after operation.Average shortening of the metatarsal was 1.5 mm (range,from 1.1 to 1.8 mm).The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS) score,Lesser Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal Scale(LMIS) score,and range of motion at one day,one month and one year after operation were significantly improved compared with the preoperative ones (P ＜ 0.05).Significant differences were also observed between all postoperative time points (P ＜ 0.05).No such complications happened as referred pain from the adjacent metatarsophalangeal joint,displacement,nonunion,necrosis or infection.All patients returned to sports and recreational activities at 6 months after operation,except one case of stage Ⅲ who had constant swelling in the metatarsophalangeal joint but eventually recovered at 10 months after operation.According to patients' satisfaction at the last follow-ups,including 7 cases were excellent,3 good and one poor.Conclusion Dorsal closed V-shaped osteotomy with Charlotte breakage screw fixation is an effective procedure for Freiberg' s disease of stages Ⅱ and Ⅲ,because it leads to effective reconstruction of the metatarsophalangeal joint,allows early joint motion and avoids a second operation.

Objective To observe the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy on hemodynamic and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO 2 )in the elder patient undergoing one-lung ventilation. Methods Fifty-eight patients scheduled for esophagus cancer resection(44 males,14 females,aged 65-79 years,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ),were randomly divided into two groups (n =29 each)u-sing a random number table:conventional fluid therapy group (group C)and goal-directed fluid ther-apy group (group G).Implementing radial artery puncture and internal jugular vein puncture under local anesthesia in order to monitor BP and CVP.The Flotrac/Vigileo system was used to monitor cardiac output (CO),stroke volume variation (SVV)and cardiac index (CI)in the both group.As mentioned all above,group C received conventional fluid therapy based on MAP,CVP and urine vol-ume,whereas group G received goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT)based on SVV with the goal of CI at 2.5-4.0 L·min-1·m-2 .Intraoperative continuous monitoring of rSO 2 was performed and the sur-gery rSO 2 average (rSO 2 ),the minimal surgery rSO 2 (rSO 2min )and the maximal percentage of the decreased rSO 2 compared to baseline values (rSO 2%max )were calculated in the both group.The varia-tion of MAP,HR,CVP,SVV and CI at the onset of the monitoring (T1 ),the momment before one-lung ventilation (T2 ),30 min after one-lung ventilation (T3 ),1 h after one-lung ventilation(T4 )and the end of the surgery (T5 )were recorded.The requirement for crystalloid and colloid,total volume of fluid infused,bleeding volume,urine volume,and requirement for vasoactive agents were recorded during operaton.Results Compared with group C,MAP at T3 ,T4 and CI at T3-T5 in group G were increased significantly,while CVP at T3-T5 and SVV at T2-T5 in group G were decreased (P <0.05). The rSO 2%max in group G was significantly lower than that in group C (P <0.05).No statistically sig-nificant difference was observed in the rSO 2 and rSO 2min between the two groups.Compared with group C,the requirement for crystalloid [(668±187)ml vs (1052±221)ml and total volume of fluid infused [(1212±318)ml vs (1519±329)ml],urine volume [(211±47)ml vs (278±54)ml]and vasoactive agents [4 cases (14%)vs 14 cases (48%)]were significantly decreased (P <0.05),the requirement for colloid were increased [(544±103)ml vs (467±94)ml,P <0.05].Conclusion The goal-directed fluid therapy based on SVV stabilizes the hemodynamic effectively,improves the CI and the perfusion of brain,and maintains the cereral oxygen metabolism in the elder patient undergoing one-lung ventilation.
