Objective To evaluate the effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and delayed surgery for infant hepatoblastoma.Methods TACE was performed with the initial digital subtractive angiography (DSA) under general anesthesia 1-3 times in 8 infants with huge hepatoblastoma, whose age was 2 to 12 months. DSA was done via arterials in hepatoblastoma each time before chemoembolization. The arterials were perfused with chemodrugs and suspensions in ultrasome iodized oil , and were blocked with spring rings. DSA findings indicated that the tumor shrank without new tumorous arterials after 1 month in 6 cases, and 4 of them showed no tumorous staining, and the delayed surgery was performed successfully 1 week later in 6 infants. One boy underwent systemic chemotherapy alone during 6 months after 3 times of TACE. Results TACE therapy did not encounter any major technical problem or toxic reaction caused by chemotherapy. The following DSA test 4 weeks later did not detect any new tumorous vessels in 6 cases. Six children received TACE and surgery had been followed-up with no tumor recurrence for months averagely. The boy underwent TACE and venous chemotherapy for 6 months , without surgery , had been followed-up for 48 months until the present report. CT, AFP and DSA did not show any hints of tumor recurrence. Six cases receiving 3 times TACE combined with surgery survived without tumor recurrence. Conclusions TACE is a very effective, safe and helpful therapy for hepatoblastoma, which stressed the repeated use of spring ring to block tumor vessels lastingly if necessary. If surgery is required, DSA test is needed beforehand to detect new tumorous vessels or neoplasm. If there is any , TACE is repeated. TACE combined with surgery may provide an additional promising choice in the treatment of hepatoblastoma, and repeated TACE alone may cure hepatoblastoma in infants.

Objective To investigate the effect of pre-treatment of ginkgo biloba extract from portal vein on oxidative stress in liver surgery.Methods Sixty cases of hepatic portal occlusion for hepatectomy surgery in patients (38 males, 22 females, ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ, cardiac function Ⅰ or Ⅱ, Child-Pugh class A), were randomly divided into three groups (n=20 each): portal vein injection group (group P), jugular vein injection group (group J) and control group (group C).Patients in group P were injected with ginkgo biloba extract injection 5 ml slowly from portal vein after freeing the portal vein, patients in group J were injected with ginkgo biloba extract injection 5 ml slowly from the jugular vein after freeing the portal vein, while patients in group C were injected with normal saline 5 ml slowly from the jugular vein after freeing the portal vein.Venous blood samples were drawn from jugular vein at the following time points: pre-occlusion ten minutes (T0), 1 h (T1), 6 h (T2), 24 h (T3) after reperfusion respectively, and then detected the levels of ALT, AST, tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α), manlondialdehyde (MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD).Results Compared with T0, the serum levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α and MDA at T1-T3 were significantly increased,the activity of SOD was significantly decreased in all groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group C, serum levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α and MDA at T1-T3 were significantly decreased, the activity of SOD was significantly increased in groups J and P (P＜0.05).Compared with group J, serum levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α and MDA at T1-T3 were significantly decreased, the activity of SOD was significantly increased in group P (P＜0.05).Conclusion The pre-treatment of ginkgo biloba extract from portal vein can increase the SOD activity, inhibit the activation of Kupffer cells, reduce the release of TNF-α, enhance the ability of anti-oxidative stress and produce significant protective effect on liver ischemia-reperfusion injury.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the outcome of Titanium elastic intramedullary nailing (TEN) for the treatment of displaced midclavicular fractures.

METHODSBetween February 2010 and February 2013, 62 patients with displaced midclavicular fractures were treated by TEN, including 27 males and 35 females with an average age of 37.6 years old ranging from 15 to 67 years. The course of disease was from 1 to 9 days (means 2.7 days). Thirty-nine cases were treated by closed reduction and 23 cases by assistant small incision. Based on OTA (the Orthopaedic Trauma Association classification) classification, 31 cases of simple fractures involved 5 cases of 06-A1,15 cases of 06-A2,11 cases of 06-A3; 31 cases of wedge fractures involved 4 cases of 06-B1,12 cases of 06-B2,15 cases of 06-B3. Postoperative pain relief were evaluated by VAS score,and operation time,fracture healing time were recorded. After 6 weeks and after removing internal fixation shoulder joint function was evaluated by Constant score, and shoulder joint function were assessed by Herscovici score after 6 weeks.

RESULTSExcept 2 cases were lost to follow-up, 2 cases did not remove internal fixation, 3 cases' fractures were nonunion, the remaining 55 patients received follow-up for an average time of 11.4 months. The average preoperative VAS score was 5.20±0.71, and it turned to be 1.550.59 at 3 days after operation. The average operative duration was 40 min (15 to 65 min). The average bone healing time was (2.71±0.54) months (2 to 5 months). No difference about bone healing time was found between simple fractures and wedge fractures,and between the patients treated by closed reduction and assistant small incision. According to Herscovici standard, the shoulder function was excellent in 49 cases, good in 4, fair in 1, and poor in 1. Simple fractures achieved better Constant score than wedge fractures at 6 weeks postoperatively, whereas no difference was found at 4 weeks after fixation removal.

CONCLUSIONTitanium elastic nails (TEN) for treatment of displaced midclavicular fractures has advantages of good clinical effect,rapid pain relief,fast recovery of shoulder joint function. For OTA classification type B patients with comminuted fracture can replace steel to achieve very good effect, but to grasp the appropriate.
