BACKGROUND: Vascular injuries of the extremitiesy are frequently concomitant with vascular defects and are usually repaired by autologous vessel grafting. However, the source of autologous vessels is limited and the preparation of them is traumatic.OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively evaluate the extremity-preserving efficacy of vascular prosthesis grafting in repairing major vascular injuries of the extremities in 29 cases.DESIGN: A retrospective study.SETTING: Department of Orthopedics and Traumatic Surgery, Center for Battle Wound and Trauma of Chinese PLA, Research Institute of Surgery,Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: We selected 29 patients with major vascular injuries of the extremities repaired by vascular prosthesis grafting who received the treatment at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatic Surgery of the Center for Battle Wound and Trauma of the Chinese PLA of the Research Institute of Surgery of, Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between January 1989 and December 2000. There were 23 males and 6 females. Injury sites: 9 cases were at subclavian artery, 6 at axillary artery, 2 at brachial artery, 10 at femoral artery, 1 at femoral vein and 1 at popliteal artery. 11 of these 29 cases (37.9%) were complicated with shock, 8 with fractures and dislocations, 5 with peripheral nerve injuries and 3 with infections.METHODS: The vascular prosthesis was anastomosed end to end with the trimmed culprit vessels. As for the 3 cases with infective arterial injuries,the vessels were placed away from the infected region and were bridged together in a non-inf1ammatory region and then muscles or musculo-cutaneous flaps were used to cover the infected regions.The functions of the extremities of the patients were evaluated according to MAS at week 2 and 1 year after the operation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The vascular patency rate and the extremity-preserving outcomes..RESULTS: All 29 patients entered the stage of result analysis. Extremitypreserving efficacy: All the patients who underwent vascular prosthesis grafting had their extremities preserved. Only 1 patient had the late sequelae of ulcers in the foot sole due to extended extremity ischemia and nerve damage. The rate of 2-week patency rate of the grafted vessels was 100% and the 1-year rate of patency was 96.5%, as revealed by Doppler blood stream scanning. The excellent and good rate of the function of extremity was 89%.CONCLUSION: Vascular prosthesis grafting is the one of the methods for repairing the major vascular injuries so as to preserve the extremities and their functions.

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic scoliosis is a common spinal deformity in teenagers, which is managed mainly by orthomorphia. However, due to great trauma, long operative duration and large blood loss, a great amount of blood transfusion is needed during the surgery. Allogeneic blood transfusion should be reduced in order to release blood insufficient, decline blood transfusion expense, as well as avoid transfusion diseases. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of controlled hypotension combined with autotransfusion in idiopathic scoliosis orthomorphia.METHODS: Intraoperative controlled hypotension was performed during posterior orthomorphia surgery on all the 46 cases of idiopathic scoliosis, 17 cases in which were served as the control group, who underwent allogeneic blood transfusion without autotransfusion, while the other 29 cases were served as the experimental group, who underwent autotransfusion that including reinfusion of preoperative deposited autologous blood and intra-operative salvaged autologous blood. The blood loss volume and transfusion status in two groups were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Blood loss volume in the control group was 400-1 000 (867±161) mL, and that in the experimental group was 350-1400 (842±376) mL, There was no marked difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The volume of allogeneic blood transfusion in the control group was 500-1 800 (845±332) mL, which was greater than that in the experimental group [0-1 300(423±237) mL] (P < 0.01). The results suggested that controlled hypotension reduces intraoperative bleeding, and postoperative autotransfusion minimizes the need of allogeneic blood transfusion.

BACKGROUND: Further studies are needed to understand the cytobiological character, functional regulation, gene changes and expression difference of CD34~+ and CD133~+ stem cells induced by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) using gene chip. OBJECTIVE: To compare the differences of gene expression and the response to bFGF of human umbilical cord CD34~+ and CD133~+ cells, and to explore gene expression changes of bFGF-induced umbilical cord CD34~+ and CD133~+ hematopotic stem cells/hemapoietic progenitor cells in vitro. METHODS: Human umbilical cord blood CD34~+ and CD133~+ cells were isolated and purified by MiniMACS immunomagnetic beads selection. The CD34~+ and CD133~+cells were cultured for 10 to 15 days in DMEM/F12 medium, supplemented with bFGF and B27. Total RNA from these cells was extracted and the genetic level of these cells was performed using Oligo GEArray(r) chip and GEArray software. Selected rate of CD34~+ and CD133~+ hematopoietic stem cells was detected using flow cytometry. CD34~+ and CD133~+ cell morphological changes were measured before and after bFGF induction. The concentration and purity of RNA were determined by agarose gel electrophoresis degeneration. Gene-chip test results were analyzed.
