Abstract： Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of total thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy for the treatment of early-stage peripheral lung carcinoma, pulmonary metastases and benign pulmonary diseases. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 20 patients who received total thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from March 2008 to November 2011. There were ten male and ten female patients with a mean age of 58.0（14-86）years. Three ports were used. The pulmonary artery and vein of the segment were dealt with Hem-o-lok or stapler. The bronchi of the segment were dealt with staplers. Staplers were used in peripheral lung of intersegmental plane. Results All the twenty patients underwent total thoracoscopic anatomic segmentectomy successfully without any conversion to thoracoctomy or lobectomy. No perioperative morbidity or mortality occurred. Postoperative pathological examinations showed lung cancer in 10 patients, pulmonary metastases in 3 patients and benign pulmonary diseases in 7 patients. The mean operative time was 133.0（90-240）min. The mean blood loss was 85.0（50-200）ml. The chest tubes were maintained in position for 3.2 （2-7） d. The mean postoperative hospitalization time was 6.7 （4-11）d. Conclusion Total thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy is a feasible and safe technique to be used selectively for Ⅰa stage lung cancer, pulmonary metastases and benign pulmonary diseases that are not appropriate for wedge resection.
Abstract： Objective To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and clinical outcome of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery （VATS） lobectomy for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 160 consecutive patients（the VATS group, 83 males and 77 females with average age at 60.8 years）with early-stage NSCLC who underwent complete VATS lobectomy between January 2005 andDecember 2008 in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University，and compared them with 357 patients（the thoracotomy group, 222 males and 135 females with average age at 59.5 years）who underwent open thoracotomy in the same period. Results The conversion rate of the VATS group was 5.0%（8/160）. The operation time of the VATS group was significantly shorter than that of the thoracotomy group（113.0 min vs.125.0 min, P=0.039）. Length of postoperative hospital stay was not statistically different between the two groups（10.3±4.3 d vs.9.1±4.6 d，P=0.425）. The postoperative morbidity of the VATS lobectomy group and the thoracotomy group was 9.4%（15/160）and 10.1% （36/357） respectively，and the postoperative mortality of the two groups was 0.6%（1/160）and 2.0%（7/357）respectively. There was no statistical difference in the mean group of lymph node dissection （2.4±1.5 groups vs.2.4±1.7 groups，P=0.743） and the mean number of lymph node dissection （9.8±6.3 vs.10.1±6.4，P=0.626） between the two groups. The overall 5-year survival rate of the VATS group was significantly higher than that of the thoracotomy group （81.5% vs.67.8%, P=0.001）. Subgroup analysis showed that the 5-year survival rate of pⅠa stage, pⅠb stage, and pⅢa stage was 86.0%, 84.5%, and 58.8% respectively in the VATS group, and 92.9%, 76.4%, and 25.3% respectively in the thoracotomy group. Conclusion Complete VATS lobectomy is technically safe and feasible for patients with early-stage NSCLC. The lymph node dissection extension of complete VATS lobectomy is similar to that of open thoracotomy, and long-term outcome of complete VATS lobectomy is superior to that of open thoracotomy. Randomized controlled trials of large sample size are further needed to demonstrate superiority.
OBJECTIVE There are various methods used to treat the Kienbock’s disease with various outcomes. This study investigated the effect of combining acrylic lunate prosthesis replacement with resection of articular branches to wrist from anterior and dorsal interosseous nerve. METHODS From January 1992 to January 1997, six cases were included. All of the patients were in stage III according to Lichtman’s classification. Besides replacement of the acrylic lunate prosthesis, segment of the pure sensory branches from anterior and posterior interosseous nerves were resected. RESULTS Follow-up for 10 to 54 months (an average of 32 months) the pain was relieved in all patients except one. The range of movement of wrists were as followings: The extension of the wrist was 20 to 35 degrees (an average of 26 degrees) and flexion was 20 to 35 degrees (an average of 32 degrees). There was no improvement in radial and ulnar deviation. CONCLUSION Lunate prosthesis replacement combined with resection of articular branches to wrist resulted in a painless wrist and was a satisfactory method.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy of pelvic floor electrical stimulation on urinary dysfunction.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of pelvic floor electrical stimulation on urinary dysfunction from inception to August 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies; then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 9 RCTs involving 559 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the pelvic floor electrical stimulation group was superior to the control group in bladder volume before and after treatment(MD=79.25, 95%CI 40.36 to 118.15, P<0.000 1), residual urine volume (MD=35.50, 95%CI 7.60 to 63.41, P=0.01), maximum detrusor pressure (MD=5.19, 95%CI 2.11 to 8.27, P<0.001), number of leaks (RR=1.95, 95%CI 1.39 to 2.52, P<0.000 01), daily average urination frequency (RR=2.64, 95%CI 1.97 to 3.31, P<0.000 01), and international lower urinary tract score (MD=5.07, 95%CI 2.17 to 7.96, P=0.000 6).ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that pelvic floor electrical stimulation is an effective therapy for urinary dysfunction. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality-studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
At present the prediction method of epilepsy patients is very time-consuming and vulnerable to subjective factors, so this paper presented an automatic recognition method of epilepsy electroencephalogram (EEG) based on common spatial model (CSP) and support vector machine (SVM). In this method, the CSP algorithm for extracting spatial characteristics was applied to the detection of epileptic EEG signals. However, the algorithm did not consider the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the signals and ignored the time-frequency information, so the complementary characteristics of standard deviation, entropy and wavelet packet energy were selected for the combination in the feature extraction stage. The classification process adopted a new double classification model based on SVM. First, the normal, interictal and ictal periods were divided into normal and paroxysmal periods (including interictal and ictal periods), and then the samples belonging to the paroxysmal periods were classified into interictal and ictal periods. Finally, three categories of recognition were realized. The experimental data came from the epilepsy study at the University of Bonn in Germany. The average recognition rate was 98.73% in the first category and 99.90% in the second category. The experimental results show that the introduction of spatial characteristics and double classification model can effectively solve the problem of low recognition rate between interictal and ictal periods in many literatures, and improve the identification efficiency of each period, so it provides an effective detecting means for the prediction of epilepsy.
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of orthopedic robot-assisted sacroiliac joint screws in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures. Methods Patients who underwent sacroiliac joint screw fixation in People’s Hospital of Deyang City between January 2018 and August 2021 were included, and the patients were divided intoa robotic group and a manual group by randomization. The robot group used robot-assisted insertion of sacroiliac joint screws, and the manual group used manual insertion of sacroiliac joint screws. The general condition, time of sacroiliac joint screw placement, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, guide needle drilling times, surgical blood loss, and Majeed pelvic function score were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 42 patients were included, and there was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index , injury type or injury cause between the two groups (P>0.05). Finally, 21 screws were placed in 19 patients in the robotic group and 23 screws in 23 patients in the manual group. The wounds of the two groups were completely healed after operation, and there was no wound infection, iatrogenic vascular and nerve injury, and no loosening of internal fixation. There was no significant difference in screw placement time, blood loss or Majeed score between the two groups (P>0.05). The number of fluoroscopy (14.53±4.54 vs. 19.87±5.48) and drilling times (1.00±0.00 vs. 7.24±3.77) in the robotic group were less than those in the manual group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Orthopedic surgical robots have the advantages of minimally invasive, less fluoroscopy, and accurate screw placement in sacroiliac joint screw placement, and have good clinical results in the treatment of pelvic fractures.

Methods The pathologic samples of six patients with gynandroblastoma from March 2004 to March 2008 were observed and analyzed. Immuohistochemistry staining was performed by SP method using antibodies of α-inhibin,CD99,Vimentin,Calretinin,CK,EMA. Results The main clinical features included menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, and postmenopausal bleeding. The tumor was composed of ranulose cells and Sertoli cells, both of which were well differentiated. Strongly positive expression of α-inhibin and vimentin was found in all the patients, while CD99 (+) was in three, calretinin (+) was in five, and CK (+) of Sertoli cells was in two. Four patients were followed up for 14-60 months and all were tumor free. Conclusion The main clinical features of gynandroblastoma are estrogenic or androgenic manifestations. Nearly all the patients are diagnosed in stage 1 and have a good prognosis. Patients with gynandroblastoma should be followed up for a long period.
ObjectiveTo understand the current evaluation methods and treatment progress of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) after rectal cancer surgery.MethodThe recent literatures on the progress of LARS studies were reviewed.ResultsThe occurrence mechanism of LARS was closely related to the function state of anus before operation, the nerve and muscle injuries around the anus and rectum during the operation, as well as the new rectal volume and compliance. For this symptom group, there were various clinical evaluation methods, including the various quality of life score scales, fecal incontinence related scales, LARS score scale, anorectal pressure measurement, and imaging examination of anal sphincter, etc. The treatment included the anal lavage, comprehensive rehabilitation training, sacral nerve stimulation, traditional Chinese medicine therapy, and other treatment methods.ConclusionLARS might be prevented or alleviated through accurately preoperative evaluation, standardized and reasonable surgery and adjuvant therapy, and effective postoperative intervention.
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between UBE2Q1 expression and clinicopathologic features and prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma. MethodsThis study retrospectively chose the cancer tissue and para-carcinoma tissue samples of 74 patients with stage I to III lung adenocarcinoma who received radical resection in Nanjing Chest Hospital from January 2013 to December 2016. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect the expression level of UBE2Q1, and patients were divided into high-expression group and low-expression group according to the Immunohistochemistry staining score. The correlation of UBE2Q1 expression level and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed by Chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analyzed the correlation between UBE2Q1 and prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma patients. The risk factors affecting the survival of lung adenocarcinoma patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk models. ResultsUBE2Q1 was highly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, and the expression level was correlated with tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, and TNM stage (P<0.05), and did not correlate with patients’ gender, age, smoking history, and tumor differentiation (P>0.05). The results of the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with low expression of UBE2Q1 compared with those with high expression of UBE2Q1 had longer DFS and OS (both P<0.05). Cox proportional risk model showed that tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and high UBE2Q1 expression were the risk factors for DFS and OS, among which TNM stage was an independent risk factor. ConclusionUBE2Q1 was highly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and correlated with large tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, late TNM stage and poorer prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma, and UBE2Q1 was a risk factor for lung adenocarcinoma.
Objective To measure the included angle between tibia anatomical axis and anterior cortex, and to define the relative position of them in order to give direction in placement of tibia extra-medullary alignment bar during total knee arthroplasty. Methods A total of 100 healthy volunteers were included (49 left knees and 51 right knees). There were 52 males and 48 females, aged 20-86 years with an average age of 45.2 years (20-35 years in 29 cases, 35-50 years in 32 cases, and over 50 years in 39 cases). The tibiofibular lateral X-ray films were taken to measure the included angle between tibia anatomical axis and anterior cortex with AutoCAD2004 system. The samples were grouped according to gender, age, and side. Results The included angles between tibia anatomical axis and anterior cortex ranged from 3.007 to 3.021° with an average of 3.001°; the angles were (2.965 ± 0.361)° in male and (3.041 ± 0.311)° in female; the angles were (2.996 ± 0.332)° in the left knee and (3.006 ± 0.347)° in the right knee; and the angles were (2.918 ± 0.346)° in 20-35 years age group, (3.060 ± 0.330)° in 35-50 years age group, and (3.014 ± 0.336)° in over 50 years age group. No significant difference was found in the included angle between tibia anatomical axis and anterior cortex between male and female, among different ages, and between left and right knees (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion The included angle between tibia anatomical axis and anterior cortex is about 3°, so tibia extra-medullary alignment bar should be placed at the angle of 3° with anterior cortex during total knee arthroplasty.
