Objective To investigate the incidence of thyroid space occupying lesion by ultrasound imaging in patients with breast cancer.Methods From 2009 to 2012,150 patients with breast cancer as experimental group and another 150 patients with breast benign diseases as control group underwent thyroid ultrasound examination.Ultrasound results of the two groups were analyzed to find the differences.Restult More obvious space occupying lesions were found in experimental group than those in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence rate of thyroid space occupying lesion in the patients with breast cancer is higher than that in the patients with no breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the early clinical outcome of peripheral cutting balloon(PCB) in the management of peripheral vessel stenosis.Methods Thirteen patients with peripheral limb vessel stenosis, in which 4 stenoses in hemodialysis access and 9 at lower limb arteries,underwent angioplasty by PCB.For multiple stenosis in the same vessel,the distal one should be expanded firstly.The balloon pressure was controlled in the range of 8 atm to 10 atm(1 atm=10.108 kPa).All the patient were given continuous anticoagulant therapy after the procedure.Results All the procedure were carried out successfully on the 13 patients,and no serious complications occured.The symptoms did not recur in all patients after the procedure.The 5 months' follow-up angiography proved that no restenosis occurred in one patient with previous stenosis at the hemodialysis access.Conclusion The angioplasty with PCB was a safe and reliable procedure in management of the peripheral limb vessel stenosis.The early outcome is satisfying.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the effect of surgical staging and using craft bone with vancomycin for the treatment of calcaneal fractures.
METHODSFrom January 2006 to December 2012,13 patients with open calcaneal fractures were treated including 9 males and 4 females with an average of 35.2 years old ranging from 23 to 66. All cases were emergency cases. According to Sanders classification of calcaneal fractures, 2 cases were type II, 7 cases were type III, 4 cases were type IV. According to Gustilo-Anderson soft tissue injury classification, 8 cases were type II, 2 cases were type III A, 2 cases were type III B, 1 case were type III C. Firstly a thorough debridement or VSD procedures were applied,secondly calcaneal fracture were treated with open reduction, plate fixation and bone graft complex with antibiotics. Based on clinical examination, radiographic evaluation, and American Foot and Ankle Surgery Society (AOFAS), ankle function were evaluated after operation.
RESULTSOpen wounds were headed after dressing and repairing,, lateral calcaneal wound were healed during the first period. All patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months (means 14.5 months). Fracture healing time was 14 to 20 weeks (means 16.2 weeks). Last follow-up AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was (80.0 +/- 7.4) ranging from 55 to 95.
CONCLUSIONFor patients with open fractures, through reasonable clinical evaluation, staging operation, using bone graft with antibiotics can reduce the incidence of postoperative wound infection and promote fracture healing.
