ObjectiveTo analyze the influencing factors for conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open surgery, and to provide a clinical reference for developing surgical procedures. MethodsA total of 278 patients receiving laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our hospital from January 2009 to December 2013 were analyzed. Among them, 31 patients were converted to open surgery during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, while the remaining 274 patients were not. The influencing factors for conversion to open surgery were investigated. The t test was applied in the comparison of continuous data, whereas the χ2 test was used for categorical data. The univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate significant influencing factors, and the independent influencing factors were determined by multivariate logistic regression analysis. ResultsThe univariate analysis showed that sex (P=0.022), arteriosclerosis (P<0.001), diabetes (P<0.001), heart failure (P=0.002), previous upper abdominal surgery (P<0.001), age (P<0.001), body mass index (BMI) (P=0.003), gallbladder wall thickness (P<0.001), the count of white blood cells (P<0.001), and serum total bilirubin level (P=0.046) were significantly different between groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis further showed that previous upper abdominal surgery (P<0.001), sex (P=0.001), BMI (P=0.002), and the count of white blood cells (P=0.019) were independent influencing factors, among which previous upper abdominal surgery was the most significant one (OR=4.646, 95%CI: 2.012-10.729). ConclusionPrevious upper abdominal surgery, sex, BMI, and the count of white blood cells were independent influencing factors for conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open surgery. Careful evaluation of these factors before surgery would help to increase the operation efficacy, possessing an important clinical value.

Objective To compare the morphological and functional outcomes of different degrees of ocular burns patients receiving amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) at different time points after ocular burn.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed.Ninety-two eyes of 76 acute ocular chemical burn patients were enrolled from January 2012 to December 2016 in Henan Eye Hospital.The ocular chemical burns were classified by Dua classifications.According to the operation time of AMT,the patients were divided into within 1 day after injury group,2-6 days after injury group and more than 6 days after injury group.The best corrected visual acuity and limbal stem cell deficiency score were recorded during the at least one year of follow up.The risk factors affecting limbal stem cell deficiency and visual outcome were analyzed.Results Of all the burned eyes,29 eyes (31.5 %) were result from acid burn,41 eyes(44.6%) were result from alkaline burns and 22 eyes (23.9%) were result from thermal burn.The average burn severity scores of patients with limbal stem cell deficiency score of 0,1 and 2 was 1.86±0.54,3.60±0.94 and 5.35 ± 0.63,respectively,and the overall difference was statistically significant (F =65.532,P <0.01).In mild to moderate ocular surface burn patients,the limbal stem cell deficiency score in more than 6 days after injury group was significantly higher than that in within 1 day after injury group and 2-6 days after injury group (Z=-2.21,P=0.03;Z=-2.33,P=0.02).In severe ocular surface burn patients,there was no significant difference in limbal stem cell deficiency score between the groups (P=0.26).At the last follow-up,the average visual acuity of all eyes was 3.19 ± 1.47.COX regression analysis showed that burn grade and operation timing were the main risk factors for visual prognosis (OR =4.925,1.368;both at P<0.01).Prognostic visual acuity was linearly correlated with the timing of amniotic membrane occlusion and degree of burn (R2 =0.078,0.685;both at P<0.01),but for the Ⅴ grade and Ⅵ grade eyes,amniotic membrane timing couldn't improve the score of limbal stem cell deficiency.Conclusions Dua classifications is of great significance in evaluating prognosis of ocular burn patients.AMT is an effective adjunctive treatment in the management of acute ocular chemical burns to support epithelial healing and restore ocular surface integrity with potential to improve vision.AMT can't prevent limbal stem cell deficiency or restore vision in eyes with severe burns.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Hebert screw internal fixation of osteoporotic distal humeral coronary fractures in the elderly.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the data of 26 elderly patients with osteoporotic distal humeral coronary fractures treated in Changhai Hospital from December 2011 to December 2018, including 3 males and 23 females aged 56-84 years (mean, 67.8 years). According to Bryan-Morrey classification, there were 7 patients with type I, 11 with type III, and 8 with type IV. All patients received open reduction and internal fixation. Among the 26 patients, 10 patients with simple humeral head fractures were treated with Hebert screw internal fixation, and 16 patients with humeral head fractures combined with humeral epicondyle fracture were treated with Hebert screw combined with humeral condyle miniplate. Operation time and intraoperative bleeding volume were recorded. At last follow-up, elbow range of motion were measured, and Mayo elbow performance score and visual analog scale (VAS) score were assessed. Meantime, complications were observed.Results:A total of 22 patients were followed up for 6-57 months (mean, 31.8 months). Intraoperative bleeding volume was 100 to 245 ml (mean, 126 ml) and operation time was 60 to 195 minutes (mean, 85 minutes). At last follow-up, the elbow joint flexion was (117.3±4.2)° and extension was (8.2±2.1)°. Mayo elbow performance score improved from preoperative 16.5 (12.8, 24.0)points to postoperative 85.0 (82.5, 92.3)points ( P<0.05). VAS was increased from preoperative (9.6±0.5)points to (2.3±0.2)points at latest follow-up( P<0.05). Two patients had elbow joint stiffness after operation and recovered after functional exercise. One patient had bone displacement when receiving rehabilitation care, which did not affect the function, and hence no further treatment was given. All patients had no infection or skin and soft tissue complications after surgery. Conclusions:For osteoporotic distal humeral coronary fractures in the elderly, Hebert screw internal fixation is effective in facilitating function recovery and relieving pain. When the fracture is combined with lateral humeral condyle fracture, additional plate fixation can be used for rigid stabilization.

Objective:
To explore the efficacy of open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of senile osteoporotic ankle fractures.
Methods:
A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the data of 26 elderly patients with osteoporotic ankle fractures which all caused by sprain from June 2012 to June 2018 in Changhai Hospital, including 10 male and 16 female patients aged from 60 to 93 years (mean, 69.72 years). In these 26 patients, three had medial malleolus fractures, four had lateral malleolus fractures, six had double ankle fractures and 13 had cotton's fractures. According to the Lauge-Hansen type, all 26 patients can be classified into four types: 5 with supination external rotation type, 4 supination adduction type, 16 with pronation-external rotation type and 1 with pronation abduction type. All the patients received open reduction and internal fixation. Plate fixation was used for lateral and posterior malleolus fractures, plate fixation and cannulated screws were applied to fix the comminuted posterior malleolus fracture while in the comminuted internal malleolus fracture, the steel plate was used only when needed. Early professional functional rehabilitation training and active anti-osteoporosis treatment were applied. All the operation time and bleeding volume were recorded, and the reduction of fracture plus the healing of wounds were observed. At last follow-up, American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle Hindfoot Scale was used to evaluate the treatment effect and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)to evaluate the therapeutic effect and the subjective satisfaction of the patients. Complications were recorded as well.
Results:
All patients were followed up for 12-48 months (mean, 23.6 months). Operation time ranged from 30 to 95 minutes (mean, 70 minutes) and bleeding volume ranged from 10 to 150 ml (mean, 70 ml). All patients got satisfied reduction of fracture within 25 patients' incision healing in first intention, although one has fat liquefaction. AOFAS Ankle Hindfoot Scale improved from preoperative (84.4±10.8)points to (31.9±11.4)points at last follow-up (
