OBJECTIVETo investigate the diagnostic value of MRI in radial head fracture with forearm interosseous membrane injuries.
METHODSFrom December 2011 to December 2012,26 patients with fractures of capitulum radial in our hospital were collected. There were 15 males and 11 females, ranging in age from 21 to 53 years old,with an average of 37.6 years old. All the patients visited hospital within 72 hours after injuries. X-ray radiography of full ulnar radial length in injured side, CT in injured side (three-dimensional reconstruction if necessary) and MRI (including the elbow and wrist joints) were performed within a week after the injury. The MRI manifestations of the forearm interosseous membrane (with or without damage, the injured location and the injury degree ) and the fractures degree of radial head were observed and compared for the relativity.
RESULTSRadial head fracture from Mason type I to III was associated with the forearm interosseous membrane injury. Radial head fracture degree was positive correlated with forearm interosseous membrane injury degree (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONRadial head fracture with suspicious forearm interosseous membrane injury is necessary to take MRI for checking for any interosseous membrane injury and injury degree, then choose the right treatment for radial capitulum fracture, only in this way can be helpful for the functional recovery of elbow and forearm.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the structural and hemodynamic changes after the reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) with valved bovine jugular vein conduit (BJVC) in the canine model by color Doppler echocardiography (UCG).
METHODS:
BJVC was used in the reconstruction of RVOT of 32 canines. UCG was used to observe the structure of the right ventricle and RVOT. The structure and hemodynamics were observed, and the diameter, width, blood velocity and pressure gradient (PG) were measured between the right ventricle and the conduits.
RESULTS:
In the first stage, UCG showed that PG between the right ventricle and BJVC was high in 5 canines, and a few anastomosis in BJVCs with main pulmonary artery was small. Blood velocity quickened and PG increased, and color Doppler showed that the bloodstream was very bright. In the second stage, 7 canines survived for 1 year after the implantation. One year after the operation, UCG showed that the valve closed well, no graft kinking or obvious regurgitation of the valve was observed. The PG of the valve was low. The BJVCs were unobstructed and there was no thrombus.All the valves of BJVC opened well except one. In the third stage, 20 canines survived for 1 year after the implantation. UCG showed that the valve motion was good, no graft kinking or obvious regurgitation of the valve was observed. No neoplasm was observed.
CONCLUSION
UCG is one of the most useful measurements in the structural and hemodynamic study of RVOT reconstruction by BJVC in the canine model. The good evaluation of UCG implies that it is important for the study and clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE:
To summarize the clinical application of bioprosthetic valve replacement.
METHODS:
Fifty two patients, aged 13-73(52.4+/-14.0) years, underwent cardiac valve replacement with biovalves from June 2002 to June 2006 in our hospital. Fifty three tissue valve replacements combined with 8 mechanical valve replacements were performed. Other procedures were also carried out if appropriate, including bidirectional Glenn shunt in 1 patient with double outlet of right ventricle and pulmonary artery stenosis; interruption of accessory pathway in 1 patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome; coronary artery bypass graft in 5 with severe coronary artery disease; and atrial or ventricular repair in 4 with congenital septum defects.
RESULTS:
One patient died in hospital due to multiple organ failure. The hospital mortality rate was 1.9%. The mean follow-up was 25 months. Two patients lost follow-up and the follow-up rate was 96%. Forty one patients returned to NYHA class I, 9 to class II, and 1 to class III. Echocardiography showed the implanted bioprosthesis functioned well without stenosis or regurgitation. There was no structural deterioration with freedom from thromboembolism and anticoagulant hemorrhage in all patients.
CONCLUSION
The efficacy of biovalves in heart valve replacement is satisfactory.

Nasal polyp (NP) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity and sinuses.Although some authors have suggested that NP is related to inflammatory factors such as interleukin (IL)-1β,IL-5,IL-8,granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF),tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,and IL-17,the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis and progression of NP remain obscure.This study investigated the expression and distribution of IL-17 and syndecan-1 in NP,and explored the roles of these two molecules in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (Eos CRSwNP) and non-Eos CRSwNP.Real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of IL-17 and syndecan-1 in samples [NP,unciform process (UP) from patients with CRS,and middle turbinate (MT) from healthy controls undergoing pituitary tumor surgery].The results showed that the expression levels of IL-17 and syndecan-1 were upregulated in both NP and UP tissues,but both factors were higher in NP tissues than in UP tissues.There was no significant difference in IL-17 levels between the Eos CRSwNP and non-Eos CRSwNP samples,and syndecan-1 levels were increased in the non-Eos CRSwNP tissues as compared with those in Eos CRSwNP tissues.In all of the groups,there was a close correlation between the expression of IL-17 and syndecan-1 in nasal mucosa epithelial cells,glandular epithelial cells,and inflammatory cells,suggesting that IL-17 and syndecan-1 may play a role,and interact with each other,in the pathogenesis ofnon-Eos CRSwNP.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the characteristics of early organ dysfunction in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and therapeutic regimens.
METHODSA total of consecutive 74 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of SAP admitted between January 2000 and June 2005 were divided into two groups, transient group (
RESULTSAmong the seventy-four SAP patients, the incidence rate of cardiovascular dysfunction was 80%, respiratory dysfunction 47%, hepatic dysfunction 37% and renal dysfunction 20%. The incidence of multiple organ dysfunction in transient group was much lower than that in persistent group (P < 0.01). The local complications and death in transient group patients were less than that in persistent group (P = 0.038, P = 0.054, respectively), irrespective of onset of organ dysfunction on admission or later during the first week.
CONCLUSIONSThe important determinant of risk of death from SAP is the persistence of early organ dysfunction for more than 72 h. Consequently, aggressively ameliorating the blood perfusion and the oxygenation in tissue is the priority in reducing organ dysfunction or shortening the duration of organ dysfunction.

OBJECTIVE:
To summarize the surgical treatment of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC).
METHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed 49 patients with TAPVC as follows: 37 patients with supra-cardiac type in which 35 received anastomoses between the rear wall of the left atrium and the common pulmonary vein and the other 2 received anastomoses between the rear edge of the left atrium roof and the common pulmonary vein; another 12 patients with cardiac type who were incised the upper edge of coronary sinus, connected the common junction of pulmonary veins with the left atrium to form a new left atrium, and repaired the atrial septal defect with a pericardial patch.
RESULTS:
Forty-six patients recovered and 3 patients died. Thirty-eight patients were followed-up from 3 months to 8 years. The rest patients got fluent pulmonary vein drainage and their heart function resumed to NYHA I.
CONCLUSION
TAPVC patients should be operated on immediately at definite diagnosis. The fluency of the common pulmonary vein-left atrium anastomoses and proper postoperative care can ensure a satisfactory outcome.
