Objective To assess the feasibility of adenoviral vectors mediate cochlear gene transfer by postau-ricular microinjection through the round window membrane in mouse. Methods Twelve 5-week old C57BL/6J mice were selected for the study: 8 were implanted with Ad-EGFP by postauricular microinjection through the round window membrane, and 4 with artificial perilymphatic fluid. On postoperative days 5 and 14, the animals were sac-rificed and the surface preparation of cochleae was observed. Results Two animals died after operation. Bright green fluorescence in the cochleae was observed in Ad- EGFP groups. Gene expression on day 14 after operation was higher than that on day 5. However, the control group was free of fluorescence. Oonclusion The postauricular route of the cochlear gene transfer in mice is simple to operate with little side-effect. The technique of transgenic delivery into the inner ear through RWM by mieroinjection is feasible and effective.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics,clinical features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of benign tumor of the bile ducts.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted.The clinical data of 136 patients with benign tumor of the bile ducts who were admitted to the eight hospitals between January 2007 and December 2016 were collected,including 70 in the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of the Second Military Medical University,19 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,15 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,11 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University,7 in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College,6 in the Southwest Hospital of the Third Military Medical University,4 in the Cancer Center of Sun Yat-Sen University and 4 in the Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.All the patients received laboratory and imaging examinations,and then underwent corresponding surgery when treatment planning was respectively determined by comprehensive hospitals according to clinical features and results of examinations.Surgical procedures were performed based on the results of intraoperative frozen section in rapid pathological diagnosis.Observation indicators:(1) epidemiological characteristics;(2) clinical features;(3) results of laboratory and imaging examinations;(4) treatment situations;(5) follow-up situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the survival of patients up to March 2017.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as-x±s.Results (1) Epidemiological characteristics:Of 136 patients,the male to female ratio was 1.78 ∶ 1.The incidence of whole bile duct tumors was from high to low,including 52 patients with duodenal papilla adenoma,32 with extrahepatic bile duct adenoma,24 with intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma,11 with intrahepatic papillary adenoma,9 with intrahepatic bile duct epithelial tumor,7 with epithelial tumor of duodenal papilla and 1 with neuroendocrine tumor of duodenal papilla.Among 136 patients,adenomas (including cystadenoma) was detected in 108 patients,papillomas in 11 patients,intraepithelial neoplasias in 16 patients,neuroendocrine tumor in 1 patient;intrahepatic bile duct benign tumors in 44 patients and extrahepatic bile duct (including duodenal papilla) benign tumors in 92 patients.(2) Clinical features:of 44 patients with intrahepatic bile duct benign tumors,29 had abdominal pain,fever and abdominal masses,4 had jaundice,11 had no obvious clinical symptoms and were diagnosed by physical examination.Among 92 patients with extrahepatic bile duct benign tumors,76 developed obstructive jaundice,68 were accompanied by abdominal pain or colicky pain,8 were combined with pancreatitis and 2 deveIoped hemobilia,some patients were combined with multiple clinical symptoms.(3) Results of laboratory and imaging examinations:82 patients received CA19-9 test,results of 22 patients were abnormal,with a level of (148-± 126)U/mL.Ninety-seven patients received carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test,with a level of test of (2.7±2.0) μg/L,and a level of CEA in 1 patient was slight abnormal,with a level of 11.2 pμg/L.One hundred and thirty-six patients underwent preoperative ultrasound examinations,showing unqualified hepatic and bile duct space occupying lesions and bile duct dilatation.Ninetyfive patients underwent preoperative computed tomography (CT),80 underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or magnetic resonanced cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP),and 13 underwent preoperative endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS).Twenty-nine patients were considered for intrahepatic bile duct benign tumors;76 were diagnosed with obstructive jaundice,with uncertain benign or malignant tumors;other patients had bile duct space occupying,considering bile duct tumor (including cancer).Twelve patients with bile duct obstruction underwent ERCP,showing obstruction site and morphology.(4) Treatment situations:among 136 patients,65 underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy,17 underwent right hemihepatectomy + cholecystectomy,16 underwent cholecystectomy + hepatic left lateral lobectomy,11 underwent left hemihepatectomy + cholecystectomy,11 underwent duodenal papillary local excision+papilla reconstruction,11 underwent Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy anastomosis,4 underwent cholecystectomy + extrahepatic bile duct local excision + end-to-end bile duct anastomosis and 1 underwent endoscopic mucosal resection of duodenal papillary adenomna.Of 136 patients with postoperative complications,25 were complicated with pancreatic leakage,11 with bile leakage,2 with postoperative hemorrhage and 1 with hepatic failure.Two patients with pancreatic leakage died of massive hemorrhage caused by abdominal infection,1 died of hepatic failure and other patients were discharged from hospital after symptomatic treatment.(5) Follow-up situations:47 of 136 patients were followed up for 3-123 months,with a follow-up rate of 34.6%.During follow-up,2 patients undergoing duodenal papillary local excision + papilla reconstruction had canceration,and other patients had good survival.Conclusions There is a low clinical incidence of benign tumor of the bile ducts,which is more common in male than in female,and in adenomas (including cystadenoma) and papillomas.The preoperative imaging examinations or ERCP biopsy pathological examination can increase an accuracy of preoperative diagnosis.Benign tumors with high canceration rates need positive surgical treatment.

Objective:To observe the application and clinical effect of stromal vascular fraction gel (SVF-gel) in local rhinoplasty.Methods:A total of 84 patients with mild nasal root and low bridge were divided into observation group and control group. In the observation group, liposuction with SVF gel extraction plus injection rhinoplasty was carried out; in the control group, liposuction plus injection rhinoplasty was carried out according to the height change of nasal root and bridge, the change of nasal frontal angle, the occurrence of complications and the satisfaction of patients after operation.Results:The 84 patients were followed up for 2 weeks to 24 months. The height of nasal root and bridge increased significantly and the lines were more harmonious. The absorption of the observation group was much lower than that of control group. Except 3 patients in the observation group and 8 patients in the control group, there were different degrees of absorption within 6 months after operation. All patients did not have complications such as fat liquefaction, necrosis, induration and infection in the injection area. Three patients in the observation group were satisfied with the results after reinjection, and one patient in the control group was satisfied with the results after reinjection, three patients were not satisfied with the results, and four patients were satisfied with the prosthesis augmentation rhinoplasty. In the observation group, there were 37 cases of excellent satisfaction, 5 cases of good satisfaction, and the overall satisfaction was 100%; in the control group, there were 20 cases of excellent satisfaction, 15 cases of good satisfaction, 7 cases of bad satisfaction, and the satisfaction was 83.3%. The former was better than the latter.Conclusions:In view of superiorities such as lower complications with long-lasting effect, high fat survival rate and high satisfaction in local augmentation rhinoplasty, SVF-gel injection is especially suitable for patients who cannot accept autologous bone, prosthesis and allograft tissue filler for augmentation rhinoplasty.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical value of Bayesian network in predicting survival of patients with advanced gallbladder cancer(GBC)who underwent curative intent surgery.
Methods:
The clinical data of patients with advanced GBC who underwent curative intent surgery in 9 institutions from January 2010 to December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.A median survival time model based on a tree augmented naïve Bayes algorithm was established by Bayesia Lab software.The survival time, number of metastatic lymph nodes(NMLN), T stage, pathological grade, margin, jaundice, liver invasion, age, sex and tumor morphology were included in this model.Confusion matrix, the receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve were used to evaluate the accuracy of the model.A priori statistical analysis of these 10 variables and a posterior analysis(survival time as the target variable, the remaining factors as the attribute variables)was performed.The importance rankings of each variable was calculated with the polymorphic Birnbaum importance calculation based on the posterior analysis results.The survival probability forecast table was constructed based on the top 4 prognosis factors. The survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences in survival curves were compared using the Log-rank test.
Results:
A total of 316 patients were enrolled, including 109 males and 207 females.The ratio of male to female was 1.0∶1.9, the age was (62.0±10.8)years.There was 298 cases(94.3%) R0 resection and 18 cases(5.7%) R1 resection.T staging: 287 cases(90.8%) T3 and 29 cases(9.2%) T4.The median survival time(MST) was 23.77 months, and the 1, 3, 5-year survival rates were 67.4%, 40.8%, 32.0%, respectively.For the Bayesian model, the number of correctly predicted cases was 121(≤23.77 months) and 115(>23.77 months) respectively, leading to a 74.86% accuracy of this model.The prior probability of survival time was 0.503 2(≤23.77 months) and 0.496 8(>23.77 months), the importance ranking showed that NMLN(0.366 6), margin(0.350 1), T stage(0.319 2) and pathological grade(0.258 9) were the top 4 prognosis factors influencing the postoperative MST.These four factors were taken as observation variables to get the probability of patients in different survival periods.Basing on these results, a survival prediction score system including NMLN, margin, T stage and pathological grade was designed, the median survival time(month) of 4-9 points were 66.8, 42.4, 26.0, 9.0, 7.5 and 2.3, respectively, there was a statistically significant difference in the different points(

the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College.Treatment of patients with unexpected gallbladder carcinoma who were diagnosed by intraoperative frozen section biopsy and postoperative pathological examination followed guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of gallbladder carcinoma (2015 edition).According to tumor staging and patients' decision,postoperative adjuvant treatment was selectively performed.Observation indicators:(1) diagnosis and treatment of unexpected gallbladder carcinoma;(2) followup and survival.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative survival up to June 2017.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).The survival time was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results (1) Diagnosis and treatment of unexpected gallbladder carcinoma:of 223 patients with unexpected gallbladder carcinoma,80 were initially diagnosed using intraoperative frozen section biopsy [20 received T stage results (intraoperative T stage of 14 patients had not matched postoperative results),and 60 didn't receive T stage results],and 143 were initially diagnosed using postoperative pathological examination (13 were initially diagnosed with gallbladder benign disease by intraoperative frozen section biopsy and 130 didn't intraoperatively receive frozen section biopsy).Of 223 patients,209,10,3 and 1 were respectively confirmed as adenocarcinoma,adenoma canceration,neuroendocrine tumor and squamous cell carcinoma;6,16,32,73,75,12 and 9 were respectively detected in Tis,T1a,T1b,T2,T3 and T4 stages and undefined stage;140 underwent reoperations,including 106 with radical resection of

bed);8 with suppurative cholangitis received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and choledochotomy with drainage,including 2 deaths and 6 with improvement;2 with common bile duct injury were improved by reoperation of choledochojejunostomy + T tube drainage;2 were complicated with bile leakage induced to peritonitis and underwent bile duct repair with drainage,including 1 death and 1 with improvement;2 with hepatic failure died of treatment failure;1 with colonic injury was improved by reoperation of anastomosis.Of 223 patients,207 didn't receive postoperative adjuvant treatment and 16 received postoperative adjuvant treatment,including 8 with chemotherapy,4 with radiotherapy,2 with immunologic therapy and 2 with Chinese medicine treatment.(2) Follow-up and survival:of 223 patients,193 were followed up for 6-90 months,with a median time of 33 months.Of 193 patients with follow-up:① The operation of 2 patients in stage Tis reached the standard,including 1 with cholecystectomy and 1 with radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma,and the postoperative survival time of them were respectively 28 months and 52 months.② The operation of 14 patients in stage T1a reached the standard,including 8 with cholecystectomy and 6 with radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma,and the postoperative survival time of them were respectively (74±5)months and (79±6)months.③ Of 26 patients in stage T1b,13 and 13 received respectively cholecystectomy and radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma (reaching the standard),and postoperative survival time of them were respectively (66±4)months and (76±8)months.④ Of 68 patients in stage T2,25,37,4 and 2 patients received respectively cholecystectomy,radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma (reaching the

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological features and lymph node metastases characteristics of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 1 321 ICC patients who were admitted to 12 hospitals from April 2007 to November 2017 were collected,including 182 in the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of the Second Military Medical University,173 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,156 in the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University (Third Military Medical University),139 in the Cancer Center of Sun Yatsen University,128 in the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University,113 in the Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine,109 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University,84 in the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital,65 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,62 in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College,58 in the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School and 52 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine.Treatment planning was respectively determined by comprehensive hospitals according to clinical features and results of related examinations.Surgical procedures

clinicopathological features and primary tumor location and diameter;(3) diagnosis of lymph node dissection and metastases;(4) relationship between clinicopathological features and lymph node metastases.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x±s,and comparison between groups was done by the t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Comparison of count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results (1) Laboratory examination and treatment situations:of 1 321 patients,cases and percentages of positive hepatitis B virus (HBV),positive serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (> 20 μg/L),positive serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (> 5 μg/L),positive serum alanine transaminase (ALT) (>75 U/L),positive serum CA19-9 (>37 U/mL) and positive serum total bilirubin (TBil) (>20 μmol/L) were respectively 202,80,329,207,590,300 and 15.586% (202/1 296),7.339%(80/1 090),26.299% (329/1 251),16.587% (207/1 248),49.789%(590/1 185),24.000% (300/1 250).Of 1 321 patients,1 206 underwent surgery,including 904 with hepatectomy,193 with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE),72 with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD),3 with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP),3 with PTBD + ERCP and 31 with other treatments;115 had missing registration of surgical procedures.(2) Relationship between clinicopathological features and primary tumor location and diameter:① Relationship between clinicopathological features and primary tumor location:cases with CA19-9 level ≤ 37 U/mL,38-200 U/mL and > 200 U/mL were respectively 227,91,146 with primary tumor located in left liver and 282,134,137 with primary tumor located in right liver.Cases combined with hepatitis and intrahepatic bile duct stone were respectively 67,73 with primary tumor in left liver and 111,47 with primary tumor in right liver,with statistically significant differences in above indictors (x2 =6.710,5.656,12.534,P<0.05).The results of further analysis showed that incidence age of ICC was (63± 10)years old in patients with hepatitis and (59± 10) years old in patients without hepatitis,with statistically significant differences (t =4.840,P<0.05).② Relationship between clinicopathological features and primary tumor diameter:cases with primary tumor diameter ≤ 3 cm,with 3 cm < primary tumor diameter ≤ 5 cm and with primary tumor diameter > 5 cm were respectively 159,250,229 with CEA level ≤ 5 pg/L and 40,65,95 with CEA level > 5 μg/L and 165,258,286 with ALT level ≤ 75 U/L and 34,57,36 with ALT level > 75 U/L and 148,242,281 with TBil level ≤ 20 μmol/L and 51,73,43 with TBil level > 20 μmol/L,and 37,70 and 131 patients had satellite loci of tumor,with statistically significant differences in above indictors (x2=8.669,6.637,15.129,34.746,P<0.05).(3) Diagnosis of lymph node dissection and metastases:of 904 patients with hepatectomy,346 received lymph node dissection,total number,number in each patient and median number of lymph node dissected were respectively 1 894.0,5.5 and 4.0 (range,1.0-26.0);157 had lymph node metastases,with a rate of lymph node metastasis of 45.376% (157/346),number and number in each patient of positive lymph node were respectively 393.0 and 2.5.Of 346 patients with lymph node dissection,114 had lymph node metastasis by preoperative imaging examination,postoperative pathological examinations confirmed 64 with lymph node metastasis and 50 without lymph node metastasis;232 didn't have lymph node metastasis by preoperative imaging examination,postoperative pathological examinations confirmed 93 with lymph node metastasis and 139 without lymph node metastasis.The sensitivity,specificity and diagnostic accuracy by imaging examination were respectively 40.8%,73.5% and 58.7%.(4) Relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and lymph node metastases:lymph node metastasis rate was respectively 51.397% (92/179) in patients with primary tumor located in left liver,39.103% (61/156) in patients with primary tumor located in right liver,34.615%(18/52) in patients with primary tumor diameter ≤ 3 cm,42.500%(51/120) in patients with 3 cm < primary tumor diameter ≤ 5 cm,52.980%(80/151) in patients with primary tumor diameter > 5 cm,48.790%(121/248) in patients with CEA ≤ 5 μg/L,59.302% (51/86) in patients with CEA > 5 μg/L,40.234% (103/256) in patients with TBil ≤ 20 μmol/L,35.106% (33/94) in patients with TBil > 20 μmol/L,with statistically significant differences in above indictors (x2 =5.078,6.262,9.456,5.156,P < 0.05).Conclusions The related etiological factors may be different due to different primary location of ICC.Primary tumor in left liver is significantly associated with intrahepatic bile duct stone of left liver,and primary tumor in right liver is associated with combined hepatitis,while combined hepatitis could lead early occurrence of ICC.At present,there is a low rate of lymph node dissection in ICC patients and a high lymph node metastasis rate in patients receiving lymph node dissection.Lymph node metastasis is associated with primary tumor location and diameter,levels of CEA and TBil.Lymph node metastasis rate in left liver is higher than that in right liver,and is getting higher with increased primary tumor diameter.

Objective:
To explore the effect of the modified suture suspension by annular ligaturing the frontalis muscle to treat severe congenital blepharoptosis in children (age≤3).
Methods:
From October 2016 to October 2017, 11 patients (16 eyes) with severe blepharoptosis were treated using the modified suture suspension in the Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University. There were 7 males and 4 females, aged from 1 to 3 years old, with the average of 26.3 months. Three suture lines were used in three directions respectively. One end was fixed to the upper edge of the tarsus, the other end was fixed to the frontalis muscle by annular ligation. The operation effect and complications were evaluated 1 week and 6 months after the operation.
Results:
All the incisions healed well. Hypophasis was observed in 1 eye. The exposed palpebral fissure was less than 3 mm when the eye was closed. No corneal exposure was observed in other cases. One week after surgery, the blepharoptosis of 5 patients were fully corrected (6 eyes, 37.5 %). Blepharoptosis in 5 patients were basically corrected (9 eyes, 56.2 %). One patients was over corrected (1 eyes, 6.3%). Six months after surgery, the blepharoptosis of 5 patients were fully corrected (5 eyes, 31.2 %). Blepharoptosis in 5 patients were basically corrected (9 eyes, 56.3%). However, the blepharoptosis of 1 patient was under corrected (2 eyes, 12.5%).
Conclusions
This modified suture suspension by annular ligature the frontalis muscle has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, stable effect, small wound, and satisfactory clinical effect.
