rough the ultramicroscopic observation on muscle and microcirculation, Group A,where a largeamount of DXM combined with heporin was given svstematically and locally into the femoral artery of the severed limb before replantation, and in Group B only heporin was given, and Group C and D ascontrol.The results showed that if the hormone and heparin were administred in large dosage, it wasadvantageous to reduce the tissues from reperfusion injury during delayed replantation.
ObjectiveTo explore the correlation of serum lipocalin-2 (LCN2) with inflammation and the predictive value of LCN2 for detecting acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute pancreatitis (AP).MethodsNighty-one patients with AP, who were admitted to Bazhong Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between June 2016 and June 2018, were enrolled in the present study. Clinical paramaters were analyzed between patients with AKI (n=29) and patients without AKI (n=62). The correlation of serum LCN2 with inflammation was assessed with Pearson’s correlation analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC) for serum LCN2 predicting AKI in AP patients was assessed.ResultsCompared with the patients without AKI, the patients with AKI showed increased serum levels of C-reactive protein [(64.8±10.5) vs. (148.3±21.6) mg/L], procalcitonin [(3.5±2.3) vs. (4.8±3.9) μg/L], urea nitrogen [(5.5±2.1) vs. (6.6±2.8) mmol/L], creatinine [(80.3±28.1) vs. (107.3±30.8) μmol/L], interleukin-6 [(10.1±3.7) vs. (16.2±4.6) pg/mL], and LCN2 [(155.0±37.6) vs. (394.8±53.1) mg/mL], as well as decreased level of calcium [(2.6±1.3) vs. (2.0±1.0) mmol/L], the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05). The serum level of LCN2 was correlated with C-reactive protein (r=0.694, P<0.05), interleukin-6 (r=0.762, P<0.05), and procalcitonin (r=0.555, P<0.05) in patients with AP. The ROC AUC of LCN2 for predicting AKI was 0.844 (P<0.05) , with a sensitivity of 81.3% and a specificity of 81.4% when the cut-off value was 210.2 ng/mL.ConclusionsSerum LCN2 concentration is elevated in patients with AKI. In patients with AP, serum LCN2 level is positively correlated with C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin. It can be regarded as a reliable indicator for predicting AKI.
OBJECTIVE: To explore a new surgical management of multiple fingers degloving injury. METHODS: In 1994 to 1997, 47 cases with multiple fingers degloving injury were sutured by two reverse "s"-type skin flaps on abdominal flank. RESULTS: The skin flaps in 46 cases survived and the wounds obtained primary heal. CONCLUSION: The application of abdominal flank "s"-type skin flap is reliable and convenient in the treatment of multiple fingers degloving injury.
In order to develope a new method to overcome the difficulties in anastomosis of blood vessels with different diameter, phleboplasty was utilized at the join-point to expand the diameter of branched vein graft, with a funnel-shaped stoma formed consequently. After successfully experimented in fresh blood vessels in vitro, the method was practised clinically to repair injured arteries in extremities, with the outcome that phleboplasty of branched vein graft could enlarge the diameter by 1-1.25 times, and with satisfied effects in 3 clinic cases. So, the conclusion was that: phleboplasty of branched vein graft was a new effective and convinient method to repair injured arteries with different diameters
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of a single threaded anchor fixation under shoulder arthroscopy in the treatment of fresh bony Bankart injury. Methods Between January 2017 and May 2021, 12 patients with fresh bony Bankart injury caused by trauma were treated with a single threaded anchor fixation under shoulder arthroscopy. There were 10 males and 2 females with an average age of 38.8 years (range, 21-64 years). The time between injury and operation ranged from 7 to 30 days (mean, 15.8 days). Preoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score was 44.9±17.4, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score was 13.1±5.5; the forward supination, lateral external rotation, and lateral internal rotation of shoulder were (130.8±11.8)°, (25.0±7.9)°, and 9.2±1.6, respectively. CT scan and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction showed that the fracture fragment area was less than 1/4 of the glenoid area in 10 cases, and 1/4-1/2 in 2 cases. The operation time was recorded. During follow-up, ASES score, UCLA score, Rowes score, and shoulder range of motion were used to evaluate the effectiveness, and shoulder CT scan and 3D reconstruction were used to evaluate the fracture position and healing. Results The operation time ranged from 50 to 150 minutes (mean, 85.5 minutes). All patients were followed up 3-18 months (mean, 9.1 months). There was no serious adverse effect such as infection, re-dislocation, or thrombosis. Three patients had shoulder adhesions after operation. At last follow-up, the forward supination of shoulder [(162.1±30.3)°], lateral external rotation [(37.5±11.2)°], and lateral internal rotation (9.2±1.6) significantly improved when compared with those before operation (t=3.331, P=0.003; t=3.153, P=0.005; t=2.716, P=0.013). The ASES score was 89.7±11.8 and the UCLA score was 32.8±2.4, which significantly increased when compared with those before operation (t=7.368, P<0.001; t=11.370, P<0.001). The Rowes score ranged from 75 to 100 (mean, 92.9). Among them, 9 cases were excellent and 3 cases were good, with an excellent and good rate of 100%. CT re-examination showed that the fracture line disappeared in 11 cases, and the fracture alignment was good; the alignment of the fracture fragment was poor in 1 case whose fracture fragment area was between 1/4 and 1/2 of the glenoid area. Conclusion For the fracture fragment area not exceeding 1/4 of the glenoid, the labrum-capsule complex at the lower end of the bone fragment intact, and the non-comminuted fresh bony Bankart injury, a single threaded anchor fixation under shoulder arthroscopy can achieve better effectiveness, has the advantages of less trauma and faster postoperative recovery.
Objective To investigate the effects of different levels of intra-abdominal pressure ( IAP) on respiration and hemodynamics in a porcine model of acute lung injury( ALI) .Methods A total of 8 domestic swine received mechanical ventilation. Following baseline observations, oleic acid 0. 1mL/kg in 20mL of normal saline was infused via internal jugular vein. Using a nitrogen gas pneumoperitongum, the IAP increased from0 to 15 and 25mmHg, and the groups were named IAP0 , IAP15 and IAP25 , respectively. During the experimental period, hemodynamic parameters including heart rate ( HR) , cardiac output ( CO) , mean arterial pressure( MAP) , central venous pressure( CVP) , intrathoracic blood volume index( ITBVI) and so on were obtained by using thermodilution technique of pulse induced continuous cardiac output( PiCCO) . The esophageal pressure( Pes) was dynamicly monitored by the esophageal catheter. Results Pes and peak airway pressure( Ppeak) increased and static lung compliance( Cstat) decreased significantly in IAP15 and IAP25 groups compared with IAP0 group( all P lt;0. 01) . Transpulmonary pressure( Ptp) showed a downward trend( P gt;0. 05) . PO2 and oxygenation index showed a downward trend while PCO2 showed a upward trend ( P gt;0. 05) . HR and CVP increased significantly, cardiac index( CI) and ITBV index decreased significantly ( all P lt;0. 05) ,MAP didn′t change significantly( P gt;0. 05) . The changes in Pes were negatively correlated with the changes in CI( r = - 0. 648, P = 0. 01) . Conclusion In the porcine model of ALI, Pes increases because of a rise in IAP which decreased pulmonary compliance and CI.

Objective To summarize the classification, diagnosis, and treatment of iatrogenic bile duct injury. Method The clinical data of 27 cases of iatrogenic bile duct injuries who treated in Central Hospital of Huzhou City from 2008–2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The classification of 27 cases: 5 cases of type Ⅰ, 18 cases of type Ⅱ, 2 cases of type Ⅲ, 2 cases of type Ⅳ. Diagnosis: 11 cases were immediately discovered at the time of the initial operation, include 1 case of type Ⅰ, 8 cases of type Ⅱ, 1 case of type Ⅲ, 1 case of type Ⅳ; 10 cases were detected in early stage after the initial operation, include 2 cases of type Ⅰ, 7 cases of type Ⅱ, 1 case of type Ⅲ; 6 cases were detected in delayed stage after the initial operation, include 2 cases of type Ⅰ, 3 cases of type Ⅱ, 1 case of type Ⅳ. Treatment effect: 17 cases for excellent, 5 cases for good, 4 cases for bad, the well recover rate was 84.6% (22/26). One case died after operation. A total of 26 cases were followed up, 1 case was lost to follow up. During the follow-up period, bile leakage occurred in 3 cases, infection of incision occurred in 2 cases, cholangitis occurred in 3 cases, and bile duct stricture occurred in 2 cases. Conclusions The best time of repairing for the iatrogenic bile duct injuries is at the time of the initial operation or early stage. According to the type of injury and the time of the injury was diagnosed, timely and effective treatment by intervention and (or) surgery is the key.
【Abstract】 Objective To explore the reasons of tendon adhesions post tendon allograft. Methods From May1990 to June 2000, 85 cases receiving tendon allograft were given tenolysis because of tendon adhesions. There were 76 males and 9 females, with an average age of 24.5 years (8-46 years). Injury was caused by machine in 38 cases, electric in 32 cases, cut in 4 cases, explosion in 4 cases and extremity mutilation in 7 cases; including 66 cases of flexor tendon deficit and 19 cases of extensor tendon deficit. Six cases had 1 tendon deficit, 79 cases had tendon deficit of more than 2. The defect region ranged from I to V. The total mobil ity of the joint was less than 220° in 73 cases. The impairment of skin, bone, nerve and vascular were treated before tendon allograft. Results Because TAM was less than 50% of TPM, the patients were given tenolysis 4-15 months after operation. And the mobil ization began at the first day after operation to improve the range of active movement. Patients were followed up 7-17 years (mean 12.7 years). TAM and TPM were in accord. Mean total mobil ity of joint was200°. Conclusion The serious of primary hurt is the important factors of tendon adhesion. Improvement of tendon selected, treatment and early mobil ization can rel ieve the tendon adhesion.
ObjectiveTo compare the effects of piriformis muscle release versus preservation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) via supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach on muscle injury. MethodsForty-nine patients undergoing initial THA via SuperPATH approach between June 2022 and June 2023 were randomly divided into two groups, with 24 patients in trial group and 25 patients in control group. The trial group received piriformis muscle release intraoperatively, whereas the control group underwent muscle preservation. There was no significant difference in baseline data such as gender, age, body mass index, disease type, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading, and preoperative muscle infiltration, muscle atrophy, muscle injury serological indicators, Harris score, etc. (P>0.05). The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, total blood loss, hospital stay, preoperative and postoperative 1-day muscle injury serological indicators [including creatine kinase (CK) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)], and incidence of complications between two groups were recorded. Harris score was used to evaluate the recovery of hip joint function. MRI was used to evaluate the extent of hip muscle injuries (gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, piriformis, obturator internus, quadratus femoris), including tendon integrity, degree of muscle fat infiltration, and degree of muscle atrophy preoperative and 1 year postoperatively. ResultsThe operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and total blood loss in the trial group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incision length and length of hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). Both groups showed a significant increase in serum CK and LDH levels on postoperative day 1 compared to preoperative levels (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). All patients were followed up, the follow-up time for the trial group and the control group was (14.8±2.8) and (15.1±3.0) months, respectively, with no significant difference (t=−0.400, P=0.691). Incisions healed by first intention in both groups, with 1 case in the trial group and 2 cases in the control group experiencing venous thrombosis in the calf muscle space. There was no complication such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, hip dislocation, prosthesis loosening, or periprosthetic infection in the lower limbs. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P>0.05). At 1 year after operation, both groups of patients showed a significant increase in Harris scores compared to preoperative levels (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with preoperative results, both groups showed significant fat infiltration in the piriformis and obturator muscles at 1 year after operation (P<0.05), while there was no significant fat infiltration in the gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, and quadratus femoris muscles (P>0.05). At 1 year after operation, except for the higher incidence of piriformis muscle fat infiltration in the control group compared to the trial group (P<0.05), there was no significant difference in the incidence of other muscle infiltrations between the two groups (P>0.05). At 1 year after operation, both groups of piriformis and obturator muscles showed significant muscle atrophy compared to preoperative levels (P<0.05). The gluteus minimus and gluteus medius showed mild atrophy compared to preoperative levels, while the maximum transverse diameter of the quadriceps muscle slightly increased, but the differences were not significant (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the maximum cross-sectional diameter or cross-sectional area changes of each muscle between the two groups (P>0.05). At 1 year after operation, the continuity of the gluteus medius and quadratus femoris muscles in both groups was intact. Both groups had some patients with incomplete continuity of the piriformis muscle, obturator internus, and gluteus minimus, but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). ConclusionThe SuperPATH approach THA may cause injury to the piriformis, gluteus minimus, and obturator internus. The piriformis muscle release does not increase muscle injury, but it can shorten the operation time and reduce bleeding.
