The comparative study was done between the LC and the traditional opened cholocystectomy (OC). The conclusion suggests that this therapy would have evry important significance to improve the efficiency of utility of medical resources and the benefit of health care and the quality of life of the patient. Some information had been furnished in this study to extend laparoscopic operation appropriately in our country.
Objective To evaluate short-term effects of percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy（PMCT） combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer（NSCLC）.Methods Eighty cases with advanced NSCLC were randomly assigned to underwent chemotherapy plus PMCT(PMCT group，n=40) or single chemotherapy(chemotherapy group，n=40).The chemotherapeutics regimen was Taxotere plus Cisplatin.The preliminary results and quality of life score of two groups were compared.Results In PMCT group and chemotherapy group，the 3-month relieve rate was 52.5% and 32.5%，and the half-year survival rate was 87.5% and 62.5%，respectively.The differences between the two groups were both significant(Plt;0.05).The quality of life score in PMCT group was significantly higher than that in chemotherapy group (Plt;0.05).Conclusion PMCT combined with chemotherapy is effective and safe in the treatment of advanced NSCLC.
Objective To review the latest comparative research of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and traditional open approach. Methods The domestic and foreign literature concerning the comparative research of minimally invasive TLIF and traditional open TLIF was reviewed, then intraoperative indicators, length of hospitalization, effectiveness, complication, fusion rate, and the effect on paraspinal muscles were analyzed respectively. Results Minimally invasive TLIF has less blood loss and shorter length of hospitalization, but with longer operation and fluoroscopic time. Minimally invasive surgery has the same high fusion rate as open surgery, however, its effectiveness is not superior to open surgery, and complication rate is relatively higher. In the aspect of the effect on paraspinal muscles, in creatine kinase, multifidus cross-sectional area, and atrophy grading, minimally invasive surgery has no significant reduced damage on paraspinal muscles. Conclusion Minimally invasive TLIF is not significantly superior to open TLIF, and it does not reduce the paraspinal muscles injury. But prospective double-blind randomized control trials are still needed for further study.
Objective To evaluate and compare the outcomes of simple closed reduction, selective fragment excision after closed reduction, and emergency fragment excision and reduction in the treatment of Pipkin type I fracture of femoral head associated with posterior dislocation of the hip. Methods Between January 2002 and January 2008, 24 patients with Pipkin type I fracture of the femoral head associated with posterior dislocation of the hip were treated with simple closed reduction (closed reduction group, n=8), with selective fragment excision after closed reduction (selective operation group, n=8), and with emergency fragment excision and reduction (emergency operation group, n=8). In the closed reduction group, there were 6 males and 2 females with an average age of 37.6 years (range, 19-56 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 6 cases, by fall ing from height in 1 case, and by crushing in 1 case with a mean disease duration of 3.1 hours (range, 1.0-7.5 hours); and the interval from injury to reduction was (4.00 ± 2.14) hours. In the selective operation group, there were 7 males and 1 female with an average age of 37.3 years (range, 21-59 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 7 cases and by fall ing from height in 1 case with a mean disease duration of 3.2 hours (range, 1.0-6.0 hours); and the interval from injury to reduction was (3.90 ± 1.47) hours. In the emergency operation group, there were 5 males and 3 females with an average age of 35.5 years (range, 20-58 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 5 cases, by fall ing from height in 1 case, and by crushing in 2 cases with a mean disease duration of 3.3 hours (range, 1.5-6.5 hours); and the interval from injury to open reduction was (5.10 ± 2.04) hours. There was no significant difference in the age, gender, disease duration, and interval from injury to reduction among 3 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results All wounds in selective operation group and emergency operation group healed primarily. All the patients were followed up 24 to 58 months (mean, 38.7 months). According to Thompson-Epstein system, the excellent and good rates were 50.0% (4/8) in the closed reduction group, 87.5% (7/8) in the selective operation group, and 87.5% (7/8) in the emergency operation group at 24 months after operation, showing significant difference among 3 groups (χ2=9.803, P=0.020). Heterotopic ossification was found in 1 case (12.5%) of the closed reduction group, in 4 cases (50.0%) of the selective operation group, and in 4 cases (50.0%) of the emergency operation group, and avascular necrosis of femoral head was found in 2 cases (25.0%) of the closed reduction group; there was no significant difference in compl ications among 3 groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion The treatment of Smith-Petersen approach and fragment excision by selective operation or emergency operation has similar outcome, which are better than the treatment of simple closed reduction.
To compare the cl inical effect of total hi p arthroplasty (THA) using posterolateral conventional or minimally invasive incision. Methods From January 2007 to November 2007, 38 patients (41 hi ps) were treated with minimally invasive THA (mini-incision group), and 15 patients (15 hi ps) underwent conventional THA (conventional incision group). Mini-incision group: 23 males (25 hi ps) and 15 females (16 hi ps) aged (53.2 ± 15.5) years old; body mass index (BMI) was 23.4 ± 3.3; there were 20 cases (20 hips) of femoral neck fracture, 2 cases (2 hips) of primary osteoarthritis, 14 cases (16 hips) of stage III or IV aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, 2 cases (3 hips) of ankylosing spondyl itis involving hip joint; Harris hip score was 47.7 ± 5.5 and the course of disease was (4.5 ± 4.3) years. Conventional incision group: 7 males (7 hips) and 8 females (8 hips) aged (54.8 ± 10.8) years old; BMI was 26.1 ± 5.1; there were 8 cases (8 hips) of femoralneck fracture, 1 case (1 hip) of primary osteoarthritis, 5 cases (5 hips) of stage III or IV aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, 1 case (1 hip) of ankylosing spondyl itis involving hip joint; Harris hip score was 51.2 ± 4.3 and the course of disease was (3.8 ± 3.7) years. There were no statistically significant differences between two groups in the general information (P gt; 0.05). Results There were statistical differences between two groups in terms of incision length, perioperative blood loss, drainage volume and blood transfusion volume (P lt; 0.05), and no statistical differences were evident in operative time, abduction angle and the anteversion angle of acetabular cup (P gt; 0.05). All incisions healed by first intention and no early postoperative compl ications occurred. Two groups were followed for 12-22 months (average 18.3 months). All patients walked without the crutch at 2-3 months after operation. The Harris score of the mini-incision group and the conventional incision group 6 months after operation was 88.6 ± 3.6 and 85.8 ± 3.3, respectively, indicating there was no significant difference between two groups (P gt; 0.05), but there was significant difference between before and after operation (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Compared with conventional THA, the minimaly incisive using posteroplateral approach THA has the merits of mini invasion, sl ight hemorrage, short hospital stay, minor compl ication, convenient management of femoral head and accurate prosthesis location. However, strict attention should be paid to operative indications.
Objective To compare microendoscopic discectomy (MED) with open discectomy (OD) for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis in terms of cl inical outcomes, and provide experience and therapeutic evidence for cl inical appl ication.Methods From May 2002 to October 2007, 215 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis were randomized into two groups, and underwent either MED or OD. In group A, 105 patients underwent MED, including 56 males and 49 females aged 34 to 83 years old (average 45 years old); the duration of the disease ranged from 9 months to 26 years (average 50 months); the spinal stenosis involved one segment in 76 cases, two segments in 27 cases, and three segments in 2 cases. In group B, 110 patients received OD, including 57 males and 53 females aged 35 to 85 years old (average 47 years old); the duration of the disease ranged from 8 months to 25 years (average 48 months); the spinal stenosis involved one segment in 78 cases, two segments in 29 cases, and three segments in 3 cases. No significant difference was evident between two groups in terms of the general information(P gt; 0.05). Results Operation was successfully performed in all cases. Volume of intraoperative blood loss was (82.14 ± 6.18) mL in group A and (149.24 ± 11.17) mL in group B. Length of hospital stay was (7.0 ± 2.1) days in group A and (12.0 ± 2.6) days in group B. Significant difference was noted between two groups in terms of the above parameters (P lt; 0.01). All the wounds healed by first intention. The patients were followed up for 13-54 months (average 27 months) in group A and 12-55 months (average29 months) in group B. Four patients in each group suffered from spinal dural rupture during operation and recovered after corresponding treatment. Three patients in group B had lumbar instabil ity 3 years after operation and recovered using lumbar interbody fusion combined with general spine system internal fixation. No such compl ications as wrong orientation, nerve root injury, cauda equina injury and infection occurred in each group, and radiology exam showed no relapse. Therapeutic effect was evaluated by Nakai standard, 52 cases in group A were graded as excellent, 45 as good, 7 as fair, 1 as poor, and the excellent and good rate was 92.4%; 53 cases in group B were graded as excellent, 48 as good, 8 as fair, 1 as poor, and the excellent and good rate was 91.8%; there was no significant difference between two groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion Two methods have the similar therapeutic effect, but MED el iminates the shortcomings of traditional OD, so it is one of ideal minimally invasive operative approaches for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.
Objective To compare effects, advantages and disadvantages of simple internal fixation to that of l imited internal fixation with external supporting frame fixation in the treatment of complex fractures of tibial plateau. Methods From July 2002 to August 2006, 66 cases of complex fractures of the tibial plateau were divided into the internal fixation group (n=39) and the external fixator group (n=27). The interal fixation group had 18 cases of IV, 7 cases V and 14 cases VI according to Schatzker, including 25 males and 14 females aged 18-79 years with an average of 45.4 years. The external fixator group had 13 cases of IV, 6 cases V and 8 cases VI according to Schatzker, including 18 males and 9 femles aged 18-64 years with an average of 44.2 years. No significant difference was evident between the two groups (P gt; 0.05). Patients were treated by using screws, steel plates or external supporting frame fixation strictly based on the princi ple of internalfixation. Results All patients were followed up for 1-5 years. Fracture healed with no occurrence of nonunion. Two cases inthe internal fixation group presented partial skin infection and necrosis, and were cured through the dressing change and flap displacement. Fracture heal ing time was 6-14 months with an average of 7.3 months. The time of internal fixator removal was 6-15 months with an average of 8.3 months. In the external fixation group, 11 cases had nail treated fluid 7 days to 3 months after operation, combining with red local skin; 3 cases had skin necrosis; and 3 cases had loose bolts during follow-up. Through debridement, dressing change and flap displacement, the skin wounds healed. Fracture heal ing time was 3-11 months with an average of 5.1 months. The time of external fixator removal was 5-11 months with an average of 6.4 months. At 8-14 months after operation, the knee function was assessed according to Merchant criteria. In the internal fixation group, 29 cases were excellent, 4 good, 5 fair and 1 poor, while in the external fixation group, 20 cases were excellent, 3 good, 2 fair and 2 poor. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion The therapeutic effects of simple internal fixation and l imited internal fixation with external supporting frame fixation were similar in the treatment of complex fractures of tibial plateau. Fixation materials should be selected according to the state of injury and bone conditions for the treatment of tibial plateau fracture of type IV, V and VI based on Sehatzker classification.
To discuss the advantages of two flap contouring methods and to explore the best choice for the flap contouring. Methods From March 2002 to March 2006, 59 patients were admitted for a flapcontouring operation. Of the 59 patients, 40 (32 males, 8 females; average age, 34 years) underwent the multiphase lipectomy (the multiphase lipectomy group). The original flaps included the abdominal flap in 19 patients, the groin flap in 10, the thoracic flap in 4, the free anteriolateral thigh flap in 6, and the cross leg flap in 1. The flaps ranged in size from 6cm×4 cm to 32 cm×17 cm. However, the remaining 19 patients (16 males, 3 females; average age, 28 years) underwent the onephase lipectomy with skin graft transplantation(the onephase lipectomy group). The original flaps included the abdominal flap in 4 patients, the groin flap in 6, the thoracic flap in 3, and the free anteriolateral thighflap in 6. The flaps ranged in size from 4 cm×3 cm to 17 cm×8 cm. The resultswere analyzed and compared. Results In the multiphase lipectomy group, partial flap necrosis developed in 4 patients but the other flaps survived. The followedup of 27 patients for 3 months to 2 years revealed that the flaps had a good appearance and texture, having no adhesion with the deep tissues. However, the flaps became fattened in 22 patients with their body weight gaining. The patietns who had a flap gt; 5 cm×5 cm in area had their sensation functions recovering more slowly; only part of the sensations to pain and heat recovered. The two point discrimination did not recover. In the onephase lipectomy group, total graft necrosis developed in 1 patient but the healing was achieved with additional skin graft transplantation; partial graft necrosis developed in 2patients but the wounds were healed after the dressing changes; the remaining flaps survived completely. The followup of the 16 patients for 3 months to 3 years revealed that all the 16 patients had a good sensation recovery, 12 patientshad the two point discrimination lt; 15 mm, with no recurrence of the fattening of the flaps; however, the grafted skin had a more severe pigmentation, and no sliding movement developed between the skin and the tissue basement. Conclusion The multiphase lipectomy and the onephase lipectomy with skin graft transplantation are two skin flap contouring methods, which have their ownadvantages and disadvantages. Which method is taken should be based on the repair location of the 〖WT5”BZ〗skin flap and the condition of the skin flap.
To investigate an effect of tranexamic acid on blood loss associated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods From June 2005 to June 2006, 102 patients (43 males, 59 females; aged 59-77 years, averaged 68 years) underwent TKA. Of the 102 patients, 59 had osteoarthritis, 23 had rheumatoid arthritis, and 20 had traumatic arthritis.The illness course ranged from 2 to 12 years. They were randomized divided into Group A and Group B of 51 patients each. The patients in Group A received tranexamic acid, and the patients in Group B received an equal volume of normal saline. In Group A, 1 g of tranexamic acid dissolved in 250 ml of normal saline was intravenously infused before deflation of the tourniquet; another intravenous administration of the same drug of the same dosage was given 3 hours later. In Group B, only 250 ml of normal saline was infused intravenously. The amounts of blood loss and blood transfusion during operation and after operation in all the 102 patients were recorded. They were also observed for whether they had deep vein thrombosis. D-dimeride, fibrinogen, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time were also examined before operation, during operation (deflation of the tourniquet), and 3 hours after operation.Results The blood loss was 256±149 ml in Group A and 306±214 ml in Group B during operation; there was no significant difference between the two groups（P＞0.05）. The postoperative drainage volume was 478±172 ml in Group A and 814±156 ml in Group B, and the total blood loss was 559±159 ml in Group A and 1.208±243 ml in Group B; there were significant differences between the two groups (P＜0.05). The averaged amount of blood transfusion was 556±174 ml in Group A and 1 024± 278 ml in Group B; there was a significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.05). The postoperative hemoglobin concentration was higher in GroupA than that in Group B (1.0-1.1 g/dL vs. 0.6-0.8 g/dL). The ostoperative follow-up for 612 months revealed that no deep vein thrombosis was found in both lower limbs of the patients by the color Doppler ultrasonography. The level of D-dimeride was significantly higher 3 hours after operation than before operation (0.92±0.56 mg/L vs. 0.35±0.13 mg/L in Group A; 1.32±0.79 mg/L vs. 0.37± 0.21 mg/L in Group B) (P＜0.05). The D-dimeride level 3 hours after operation was significantly higher n Group B than in Group A（P＜0.05）. There were no significant differencesin the levels of fibrinogen, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time between the two groups（P＞0.05）.Conclusion During and after the TKA operation, a shortterm use of tranexamic acid can significantly decrease blood loss and blood transfusion with no increasing risk for venous thrombosis.
