Disc polyacrylamide gel clectrophorsis was performed to detect water soluble proteins of the bile－cysts of bear, pig, cow and sheep. The bands of electrophorsis were analysed by means of gel clecrophoresis scan. The results showed that different bile－cysts have different bands.Thus, this method can be used to identify the bile－cyst of bear.

Objective To explore rationale and clinical application of simplified modified radical thyroideetomy for differentiated thyroid carcinoma.Methods From Jan.2007 to Jun.2010,349 cases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma received simplified operative procedure based on standard modified radical thyroidectomy.The simplified procedure took a low small collar incision(about 10-12 cm).In separating upper and lower skin flaps,subcutaneous tissues covering posterior triangle of neck and posterior edge of sternoeleidomastoid muscle were spared to protect sensory nerves.Subtotal thyroidectomy Was performed to resect the affected lobe,isthmus,and the majority of opposite lobe without considering the size of primary tumor or whether metastasis to the neck lymph nodes happened.Soft tissues of the mainly metastatic areas(Ⅱ a、Ⅲ、Ⅳ、Ⅴb)were cleared.The accessory nerve was not exposed routinely to avoid stimulation.Lymph nodes metastasis in different areas was recorded respectively.Complications in different operative modes were compared.Results Compared with standard modified radical thyroidectomy,the simplified mode had shorter scar-and no limit of neck mobility.Because of muscles and nerves pemervation,movement dysfunction and abnormal sensation of neck and shoulder decreased obviously.The operation duration was shortened.Cervical lymph node status Was evaluated,which provided basis for prognosis judgment and comprehensive treatment.Conclusions The simplified modified radical procedure has the benefit of decreased trauma while maintains the similar recurrence rate compared to modified radical thyroidectomy.It improvs the life quality of patients.This procedure fits the principle of functional radical neck dissection better.

Objective To investigate the biomechanical properties of our self-designed 4 cannulated screws in 4 configurations for fixation of extremely unstable femoral neck fractures.Methods Twelve adult cadaveric femoral specimens were randomly divided into 4 equal groups (n =3) and made into models of extremely unstable femoral neck fracture combined with comminution (Pauwels type Ⅲ).Group A was subjected to fixation in configuration of “double axial compressions plus double stabilizations”,group B to configuration of “positive triangle parallel compression plus small angle screwing”,group C to configuration of “inverted triangle parallel compression plus small angle screwing”,and group D to configuration of “diamond pattern screwing”.Static compression tests,cyclic loading tests and limit load tests were carried out for the 4 groups on a biomechanical testing machine.Results For groups A,B C and D,the axial compression stiffness was respectively 995.29 ±34.16 N/mm,509.89 ± 138.90 N/mm,559.28 ± 111.25 N/mm and 610.18 ±232.35 N/mm,and the limit load was respectively 3,225.33 ±461.31 N,2,008.67 ±237.27 N,2,705.67 ±496.39 N and 2,395.33 ±403.71 N,showing significant differences between the 4 groups (P ＜ 0.05).For groups A,B C and D,the displacement was respectively 0.46 ± 0.10 mm,1.47 ± 0.72 mm,1.14 ±0.24 mm and 1.22 ±0.22 mm,and the limit stiffness was respectively 1,139.28 ±342.09 N/mm,843.56 ±408.91 N/mm,585.98 ± 81.60 N/mm and 729.96 ±251.37 N/mm,showing no significant differences between the 4 groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions In the fixation of extremely unstable femoral neck fracture with our self-designed 4 cannulated screws,the configuration of “double axial compressions plus double stabilizations” may lead to the greatest biomechanical advantage while the configuration of “positive triangle parallel compression plus small angle screwing” may result in the poorest biomechanical properties.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of posterior approach laminectomy combined with localized resection of ossified posterior longitudinal ligament and dekyphosis for multilevel ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in the thoracic spine.Methods Thirty-one cases of thoracic multilevel OPLL was treated with this new technique between August of 2012 and August of 2016.Twenty-nine among the 31 cases were successfully followed up more than two years.Among these 29 cases,9 were male and the other 20 were female,with an average age of 48.5±7.1 years.The average segment number of OPLLwas 6.5±2.2 (range,3-11).The average segment number of laminectomy was 7.9±2.5 (range,4-13).There were 26 cases combined with ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF).Posterior approach laminectomy combined with localized resection of OPLL and dekyphosis for multilevel OPLL in the thoracic spine was applied to all cases.Firstly,en-bloc laminectomy was performed to all the segments of OPLL.Then the nearest segment of ossification to the kyphotic apex and the most stenotie level was selected and limitedly resected.Finally,wedge-shaped osteotomy was conducted to decrease the kyphosis.The outcomes including recovery rate of myelopathy and the radiological changes were recorded during the post-operative follow-up.Single group pre and post analysis was conducted by using paired t-test.Results Twenty-seven cases underwent one-level circumferential decompression,and the other two case underwent two-level localized resection of the ossified posterior longitudinal ligament.The average operation time was 245.2±75.1 min (range,131-423 min).The average blood loss was 1 307.9±1 457.7 ml(range,300-6 000 ml).The average follow-up time was 40.2± 14.9 months (range,25-69 months).The kyphotic angle of the stenotic segments decreased 11.4°±3.5° averagely after the surgery,from pre-operative 28.7°±9.6° to post-operative 17.3°±8.6°.The decreased kyphotic angle was 7.4°±3.1 ° at the final follow-up with an average kyphotic angel of 22.3°± 10.3°.The average length of the resected ossified posterior longitudinal ligament was 11.3±3.9 mm,and the average shortening length of the spinal column was 5.0±3.0 mm (range,0.4-13.8 mm).The pre-operative Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score was 4.3±2.2 averagely (range,1-9),and the final JOA score increased to 9.3±2.3 (rang,3-11).The average recover rate was 85.7％ (range,-100％ to 100％),and the rate of excellent or good was 89.7％.Among the 29 cases,6 cases occurred post-operative transient deterioration and regained a satisfactory recovery eventually;one case occurred post-operative paraplegia and never recovered;19 cases occurred post-operative cerebrospinal fluid leakage and healed under conservative treatment.Conclusion For the thoracic multilevel OPLL,one-stage posterior approach laminectomy combined with localized resection of the ossified posterior longitudinal ligament and dekyphosis can significantly improve the outcomes of the myelopathy with low rate of post-operative paraplegia.Therefore,this new surgery technique is a safe and effective treatment for multilevel OPLL in thoracic spine.

【Objective】 To explore the clinical value of laparoscopic radical cystectomy based on fascia anatomy for bladder cancer treatment. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 51 patients with bladder cancer who underwent 3D laparoscopic radical cystectomy during Jan.2015 and Jun.2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The surgery was performed based on membrane anatomy technology along four longitudinal and two transverse planes to complete the radical cystectomy.The pelvic plexus was preserved for patients with normal preoperative sexual function. 【Results】 All surgeries were completed without conversion to open operation.The mean operation time was (502.52±108.99) min, mean intraoperative blood loss was (275.96±155.18) mL, mean postoperative drainage time was (4.14±2.41) d, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was (16.37±4.85) d.The mean number of lymph nodes removed was (17.98±11.48).The mean postoperative follow-up was (30.27 ±19.39) months.At the last follow-up, no Clavien ≥grade 3 complications were observed.The estimated overall survival (OS), tumor-specific survival (TSS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were 82.4%, 92.2%, and 88.2%, respectively.The lymph node positive patients had shorter OS and RFS (60.0%, 60.0%) than the lymph node negative patients (84.8%, 91.3%).Among the 19 male patients who underwent radical cystectomy with pre-exposure and preservation of pelvic plexus, daytime and nocturnal continence rate were 83.3% and 72.2%, respectively, and 17 patients recovered potency within 6 months postoperatively. 【Conclusion】 Laparoscopic radical cystectomy based on fascia anatomy is safe and effective in laparoscopic radical cystectomy, with standardized surgical procedure, satisfactory oncological outcomes, little hemorrhage, few complications and fast recovery.

Objective:To investigate the biomechanical properties of cannulated screws fixation in a configuration of "axial compression and lateral buttress" in the treatment of Pauwels type Ⅱ femoral neck fractures.Methods:Ten specimens of Sawbones artificial femur were first made into models of type Ⅱ femoral neck fracture with a Pauwells angle of 50° and then randomized into 2 equal groups ( n=5). The specimens in the experimental group were subjected to fixation with cannulated screws in a configuration of "axial compression and lateral buttress" in which the axial screw was 8.5 mm in diameter and the lateral screw 6.5 mm in diameter. The specimens in the control group were subjected to conventional fixation with cannulated screws in a configuration of "inverted triangle and parallel compression" in which the 3 screws was 7.3 mm in diameter. Finally, the specimens were placed onto a biomechanical testing machine to determine the parameters of static axial stiffness, displacement under 60 to 600 N load for 5,000 cycles, ultimate load and ultimate stiffness in turn. The 2 groups were compared to find out their differences. Results:The static axial stiffness was (1,492.00 ± 87.86) N/mm, significantly higher than that in the control group [(1,200.22 ± 228.06) N/mm] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the cyclic load displacement [(0.44 ± 0.01) mm versus (0.57 ± 0.17) mm] ( P>0.05), but the experimental group showed a lower trend. The ultimate load and ultimate stiffness were (4,292.61 ± 804.29) N and (1,623.55 ± 180.94) N/mm in the experimental group and (4,383.64 ± 1,423.24) N and (1,433.77 ± 289.93) N/mm in the control group, showing no significant difference between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of Pauwels type Ⅱ femoral neck fractures, fixation with cannulated screws in a configuration of "axial compression and lateral buttress" may exhibit better biomechanical properties than that in a conventional configuration of "inverted triangle" .
