From 1990 to 1993, we carried on a seroepidemiological survey on hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection of 5297 general surgical patients. The results showed that the positive rates of HBsAg, antiHBs and antiHBc were 19.4% 、35.9% and 41.1%respectively, and the overall rate of HBV infection was 70.5%, which was much higher than that of the general population. In patients with hepatobiliary or pancreatic diseases, the HBsAg, antiHBc and the overall rate of HBV infection were 34.2%、56.1%、80.3%respectively, which were higher than those of other general surgical patients.
Objective To investigate the effect of arterilization of veins in treatment of extensive arterial oblitery ischemia of limbs . Methods Eighteen lower limbs and six upper limbs with symptoms of chronic ischemia were diagnosed as having extensive occlusion of the major arteries by color Doppler Ultrasonic Scanning and DSA. According to the level of occlusion, the involved limbs were treated by arterilization of veins in one stage. Results During hospitalization, one lower limb was amputated. Seventeen lower limbs and six upper limbs were followed up for 3 to 26 months. Among them, one lower limb was amputated for necrosis of toes after 3 months; the outcomes of the others were satisfactory. By Doppler scanning, the arterial blood flow was observed after operation. Conclusion Arterilization of veins in extensive arterial oblitery ischemia of limbs is a simple and effective treatment with good result.
Objective To investigate how many hospitals can perform vitrectomy and its relationship to economic development in China.Methods Bibliometric data of retina-vitreous literatures were searched from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) academic databases. We used pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) as a keyword and defined address as mainland China, limited years to 1993 -2009. From those data we analyzed which hospital performed PPV. We also communicated with some hospitals by phone, email to confirm if they were performing PPV. Gross domestic product (GDP), population data and economic development ranking were extracted from the China Statistical Yearbook 2009 (National Bureau of Statistics of China). PPV carry-out rate, PPV-hospital shares and their relationships with the GDP in each regional municipality were analyzed.Results All together this study retrieved 4632 articles meet our requirements. There were 340 hospitals carrying out PPV in mainland China, located in 22 provinces, five autonomous regions and four metropolitan municipalities. The top five provinces with higher PPV carryout rate were Shandong (93,75%), Zhejiang (90,00%), Hebei province (90.00%), Jiangsu (83.33%) and Guangdong (75.00%). There was significant difference in per capita share of PPVhospitals between different cities (chi;2=181,153,P=0,000) and in the PPV carry-out rate between different cities (chi;2=749.217,P=0.000). There were 210 private eye hospitals in China,62 hospitals (18.23%) of them could perform PPV included 39 hospitals located in regionallevel cities. The coefficient correlation between PPV and GDP of different provinces was 0.842 (P=0.000). Conclusions Vitrectomy is widely performed in mainland China, but geographical distribution of PPV-performing hospitals is uneven. PPV performance is closely related with regional economic development,and private hospitals play certain roles in promoting the application of vitrectomy.
Objective To investigate the experience of selective embolization combined with intraoperative internal carotid artery shunt for surgical treatment of carotid body tumor (CBT). Methods The data of 21 patients (22 sides) with CBT who underwent surgical resection from January 2002 to July 2012 in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The all patients’ conditions were fully assessmented and all patients were performed the carotid arteriography and superselective embolization treatment for the blood supply of tumor by with microcatheter on 2-3 days before operation,and then intraoperative internal carotid artery shunt and resection of carotid body tumors were performed. Results Surgical procedures were successfully performeded in all 21 patients (22 sides). Among them, 16 patients (17 sides) were taken carotid body tumor resected, 5 patients were taken carotid body tumor resected and internal carotid artery reconstruction (autogenous long saphenous vein were used in 3 patients, vascular prosthesis were used in 2 patients). The postoperative complications were found in 5 patients after anesthesia recovery, which included crooked tongue in 3 cases and facial numbness in 2 cases, and they were cured in 3 months. There were no cerebral infarction, hemiplegia, and death cases. All 21 patients were followed-up for a period from 2 months to 9 years(average 57 months), there was no tumor recurred. Conclusions Surgical resection is the first choice for treatment of carotid body tumor. The application of selective embolization and intraoperative internal carotid artery shunt for surgical treatment of carotid body tumor in complicated Shamblin Ⅲ stage is safe and effective.
Objective To establish the three diamension-model and to observe the contribution of endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) in the angiogenesis and its biological features. MethodsEPC was obtained from the rats’ peripheral blood. Its cultivation and amplification in vitro were observed, and the function of the cultural EPC in vitro was detected. The three diamension-model was established and analyzed. ResultsEPC was obtained from the peripheral blood successfully. The proliferation of the EPC which induced with VEGF(experimental group) was better than that without VEGF (control group) at every different phase (P<0.01). It was found that EPC grew into collagen-material from up and down in the three diamension-model, and its pullulation and infiltration into the collagen were seen on day 1 after cultivation. With the time flying, there were branch-like constructions which were vertical to the undersurface of collagen and interlaced to net each other. It showed that in experimental group the EPC grew fast, its infiltration and pullulation also were fast, the branch-like construction was thick. But in control group, the EPC grew slowly, infiltration and pullulation were slow, the branch-like construction was tiny and the depth of infiltration into collagen was superficial. The number of new vessels in experimental group was larger than that in the control group at every different phase (P<0.01). ConclusionRat tail collagen can induce EPC involved in immigration, proliferation and pullulation in angiogenesis. The three-diamension model of EPC can be used to angiogenesis research. VEGF can mobilize and induce EPC to promote the angiogenesis.
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare the value of SEEG and subdural cortical electrodes monitoring in preoperative evaluation of epileptogenic zone. MethodsFeatures of patients using SEEG (48 cases) and subdural cortical electrodes monitoring (52 cases) to evaluate the epileptogenic zone were collected from June 2011 to June 2015. And the evaluation results, surgical effects and complications were compared. ResultsThere was no significant difference between SEEG and subdural cortical electrodes monitoring in identifying the epileptogenic zone or taking epileptic surgery, but SEEG could monitor multifocal and bilateral epileptogenic zone. And there was no significant difference in postoperative seizure control and intelligence improvement (P > 0.05). The total complication rate of SEEG was lower than subdural cortical electrodes monitoring, especially in hemorrhage and infection (P < 0.05). ConclusionsThere was no difference among SEEG and subdural cortical electrodes monitoring in surgical results, but SEEG with less hemorrhagic and infectious risks. SEEG is a safe and effective intracranial monitoring method, which can be widely used.
