Methods Between December 2009 and June 2010, 84 patients with stable COPD were enrolled. Lung function (FEV1, IC, IC/TLC) ,6 minute walk-test (6MWT) and St George′s respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) were examined. The relationship among FEV1, IC, IC/TLC, and the results of 6MWT and SGRQ by Pearson correlation analysis. Results There was no linear correlation between 6MWT and FEV1 （r=0.14，Pgt;0.1）, and 6MWT and FEV1≥60% （r=0.16，Pgt;0.1）. There was positive correlation between 6MWT and IC （r=0.317，Plt;0.01）, and 6MWT and IC/TLC （r=0.274，Plt;0.01）. There was negative correlation between SGRQ and FEV1 （r=-0.307，Plt;0.01）; and no linear correlation between SGRQ and IC （r=-0.001，Pgt;0.25）, and SGRQ and IC/TLC （r=-0.003，Pgt;0.25）. Conclusion In stable COPD patients, IC may be more accurate than FEV1 in refection of exercise tolerance while FEV1 may be more sensitive than IC in evaluation of dyspnea.
Abstract: Objective To summarize the clinical experiences of videoassisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy performed on a series of 300 consecutive patients, and report the results of a 3year followup. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 300 consecutive patients who underwent VATS lobectomy from September 2006 to December 2009 in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, People’s Hospital of Peking University. Of the 300 patients, there were 159 males and 141 females with the age ranged from 18 to 86 years (58.30±13.90 years). Preoperative diagnosis showed that there were 266 patients of mass in the lung, 22 of bronchiectasis, 5 of cyst/abscess in the lung, 3 of pulmonary sequestration, 2 of fungus infection, and 2 of pneumothorax. We assessed the perioperative variables by standard descriptive statistics and estimated the 3year survival rate by KaplanMeier analyses. Results Sixtysix patients were diagnosed to have benign diseases and 234 patients were with malignancies. A percentage of 81.82% (54/66) of the benign patients had infectious diseases, and the majority of the malignancies was nonsmall cell lung cancer (213 patients), especially adenocarcinomas which comprised 73.08% (171/234) of all the malignancies. A total of 273 patients accomplished VATS lobectomy, of whom 27 patients required conversion to thoracotomy at a conversion rate of 9.00%(27/300). In the VATS lobectomy accomplished group, the mean operation time was 317±088 h, and the blood loss was 225.70±195.20 ml. Benign surgery took significantly less time (t=2.280, P=0.0032) and had shorter drainage time(t=1.392, P=0.0304) than those of malignancies. Dense adhesions between lymph nodes and blood vessels was the primary reason for conversion to thoracotomy in 17 patients at a percentage of 62.96%(17/27). Bleeding was the second reason for conversion in 5 patients at a percentage of 1852%. The patients in the upper lobe lobectomy group showed significantly higher risk of conversion compared with those in the nonupper lobe surgery group (χ2=6.131, P=0.013), while gender (χ2=1.182, P=0.277), pathology (χ2=0.210, P=0.647) and the tumor located in left or right side(χ2=2.933, P=0.087) didn’t influence the risk of conversion. The result of the 3year followup showed that there was no reoccurrence of symptoms in patients with benign diseases; Nonsmall cell lung cancer patients had a 3year survival rate of 0.87 with the 95% confidence interval (CI) from 0.77 to 0.96, and pathologic stage I patients at 0.91 with the 95%CI from 0.85 to 0.98. Conclusion VATS lobectomy is safe and effective. This research shows that domestic technologies of VATS lobectomy and its midterm results have reached the international standard.
Objective To investigate the clinical effects and the brain protection effect of different cardiopulmonary bypass in treating descending aortic aneurysms. Methods From January 2001 to December 2008, 65 patients were diagnosed to have descending aortic aneurysm with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in our hospital. Among them, there were 56 males and 9 females whose age was between 15 and 71 years old with an average of 48.1 years. The disease process ranged from 6 days to 4 months (19.0±6.5 d ). Preoperative diagnosis showed that there were 41 cases of DeBakey type Ⅲinterlayer, 9 cases of Marfan syndrome with postoperative complications of type Ⅲ interlayer, 7 cases of pseudoaneurysm and 8 cases of true aneurysm. We adopted artificial blood vessel repair patch to repair the damaged point of the descending aorta in 2 cases, performed vascular aneurysm resection and artificial vessel replacement on 63 patients, and carried out descending aorta replacement and intercostal artery grafting in 18 cases. Results Among the 65 cases of cardiopulmonary bypass patients, there were 13 cases of left heart bypass, 12 cases of heart bypass, 30 cases of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) with total body retrograde perfusion (TBRP) and 10 cases of modified separate perfusion of upper and low body. Cardiopulmonary bypass time, DHCA time, retrograde perfusion time, upper body circulatory arrest time and low body circulatory arrest time were respectively 51-212 min, 18-75min, 18-73 min, 21-31 min, and 39-67 min. No death occurred during the operation, and there were no brain complications or complications of paralysis among all the patients. Two patients died after operation because of renal failure. Conclusion Good results can be achieved by selecting different method of cardiopulmonary bypass based on the anatomical location and range of the thoracic descending aortic aneurysms. The selection criteria should be favorable to the surgical operation and organ protection.
Abstract： Objective To introduce the new procedure of endobronchial ultrasoundguided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUSTBNA) for staging lung cancer and diagnosing thoracic diseases, in order to determine its value in the evaluation of thoracic diseases. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of all patients examined with EBUSTBNA our institution between September 2009 and May 2010. Among the patients, there were 75 males and 31 females with an average age of 62.3 years old. Based on their primary indication, we divided all the 106 patients into three categories. (1) There were 76 patients with known or bly suspected lung cancer. Enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes on radiographic examination of the chest (≥1.0 cm) were detected in all the patients. (2) There were 22 patients with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes or mediastinal masses of unknown origin. (3) There were 8 patients with pulmonary mass located close to the central airways. Results (1) 76 patients underwent EBUSTBNA for known or bly suspected lung cancer. Among them, 58 patients were confirmed to have mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis on EBUSTBNA. Sixteen in the 18 patients with negative EBUSTBNA underwent thoracoscopy or thoracotomy for pulmonary resection and mediastinal lymph node dissection. Postoperative pathology confirmed that 12 patients did not have metastatic nodes, 2 patients had metastatic nodes and 2 other patients had benign lesions within the lung. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of EBUSTBNA for the mediastinal staging of lung cancer were 96.66%(58/60), 100.00%(12/12) and 97.22%(70/72), respectively. (2) 22 patients underwent EBUSTBNA for the evaluation of mediastinal adenopathy or mass in the absence of any identifiable pulmonary lesion. Among them, 7 had malignancy, 13 had benign diseases on EBUSTBNA and the sensitivity of EBUSTBNA in distinguishing malignant mediastinal diseases was 87.50% (7/8). (3) 8 patients with pulmonary mass located close to the central airways were accessed by EBUSTBNA. Definite diagnosis was achieved in 7 patients, and lung cancer was detected in 6 patients. The sensitivity and the diagnostic accuracy of EBUSTBNA for the diagnosis of unknown pulmonary mass was 85.71%(6/7) and 87.50%(7/8), respectively. All the procedures were uneventful, and there were no complications. Conclusion EBUSTBNA is a highly effective and safe procedure. We believe that EBUSTBNA should be used routinely in the diagnosis and staging of thoracic diseases.
Objective To investigate the application and techni ques of endoscop ic linear stapling device in complete video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy, a n d to improve the safety and quality of the operation. Methods From September 2006 to January 2008,sixty consecutive complete video-assisted thoracoscopic lo b ectomies were performed. The patients include 30 men and 30 women with average a ge of 59.8 years old. Eight patients suffered from benign lung lesions, and 52 p atients suffered from primary lung cancers or other pulmonary malignancy. The op erations were performed under general anesthesia with doublelumen intubation a nd complete thoracoscopy.The procedures include 12 right upper lobectomies, 10 right middle lobectomies, 14 right lower lobectomies, 8 left upper lobectomies a nd 16 left lower lobectomies. All arteries, veins, bronchus involved were manag ed with endoscopic linear stapling devices. Results All the pr ocedures were successful with one conversion case（1.67%） due to tense lymph no des adhesion, no severe complications, as active bleeding, continuous air leak, foreign body reac tion or operation related death occured. Endoscopic linear stapling devices were used for stapling in 381 different procedures with average of 6.35 per case, am ong which 124 (2.06 per case)were for pulmonary arteries, 66(1.10 per case) for pulmonary veins, 60 for lobar bronchus and 131 for interlobar fissures.A period of 11.3 months (2-18 months) follow-up of all patients shows no dela yed bleeding, bronchialpleural fistula, pyothorax or pneumonia. Concl usion The application of endoscopic linear stapling device is one of th e major difficulty in complete video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy. Careful manipulation under some specific principles is the key for the security of the operation.
Objective To summarize our experience of using rigid bronchoscopy in the managent of patients with tracheobronchial disease. Methods From Sep.2002 to Nov.2007, 44 patients of tracheobronchial disease（31 men，13 women, median age 51.9 years) underwent rigid bronchoscopic operations. All procedures were carried out under general anesthesia with high frequency jet ventilation. After the rigid bronchoscope was placed in the main trachea through the mouth , the airway was checked out firstly, and then the lesion was removed by repeated freezing, argon plasma coagulation, cauterization or mechanical ablation, and a stent maybe implanted while needed. Results All 54 procedures were accomplished endoscopically without mortality or major morbidity (16 clearence,19 core out,8 scar clearance,3 foreign body removal, 8 stent insert or removal).The lesion located at trachea in 19 cases, at carina in 4 cases,at left main bronchus in 11 cases and at right main bronchus in 10 cases. There were 17 benign diseases and 27 malignant diseases. There were 3 slight complications. 16 patients compliating with benign disease were followed-up and 1 patient was missed,there was no tumor recurrence except 3 patients complicating with tracheal scar who received reoperations during 4-44 (mean 23.0) months follow-up period. Of the 27 malignant cases,23 patients were followed-up and 4 patients were missed, the follow-up period were 5-58(mean 27.1)months.3 patients died in one months after operation of other disease; the other patients all survived more than one month,especially 7 patients who received radical resection of the tumor survived more than one year. Conclusions These data show that rigid bronchoscope can be applied safely and effectively in the management of tracheobronchial disease.
Objective To elucidate the protective effect of leukocyte depletion on the myocardium during the settings of myocardial reperfusion injury. Methods Twenty patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass with continuous infusion of blood cardioplegia were randomized into two groups:the control group (n=10) with no leukocyte depletion filter used, and the experimental group (n=10) with the use of leukocyte depletion filter on the bypass circuit.

【Abstract】 Objective To explore the biomechanical properties of a new intramedullary controlled dynamicnail ing (ICDN). Methods Ten pairs of specimens of adult femurs, with the age of 18 to 55 years, were divided into twogroups (groups A1 and B2, n=10). The length of the specimens was (438 ± 10) mm , and the external diameter was (26.4 ± 1.5) mm. The specimens of the two groups were osteotomized transversely after the biomechanical test. ICDNs and GK nails were randomly implanted into the femurs, respectively (groups A2 and B2). Torsional, bending and axial compressive tests were made in each group, and the effect of dynamic compression between the fracture fragments was tested. Results The resistance to compression of groups A1, B1, A2 and B2 were (0.19 ± 0.18) × 106, (0.22 ± 0.12) × 106, (1.67 ± 0.68) × 106 and (0.86 ± 0.32) × 106 N/mm, respectively. There was statistically significant difference between groups A2 and B2 (P lt; 0.01). The bending stiffnesses of coronal section of groups A1, B1, A2 and B2 were (0.94 ± 0.25) × 103, (1.10 ± 0.21) × 103, (0.70 ± 0.22) × 103, (0.64 ± 0.21) × 103 N/mm, respectively. The bending stiffness of sagittal plane of groups A1, B1, A2 and B2 were (1.06 ± 0.26) × 103, (0.96 ± 0.25) × 103, (0.67 ± 0.25) × 103, (0.61 ± 0.18) × 103 N/mm, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between groups A1 and B1 or between groups A2 and B2 (P gt; 0.05). When the torque was 5 Nm, the torsional stiffness of groups A1, B1, A2 and B2 were (4.00 ± 2.54), (4.76 ± 1.93), (0.50 ± 0.63), (0.35 ± 0.31) Nm/°, respectively. When the torque was8 Nm, the torsional stiffness of groups A1, B1, A2 and B2 were (4.30 ± 3.27), (3.94 ± 2.01), (0.42 ± 0.52), (0.36 ± 0.18) Nm/°, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between groups A1 and A2 or between groups B1 and B2 (P lt; 0.05), and no statistically significant difference between between groups A2 and B2 (P gt; 0.05). The average maximal pressure generated between the fracture fragments which were fixed with ICDN was 21.6 N, and the pressure between the fracture fragments which were fixed with GK nail ing could not be tested. Conclusion The design of ICDN conforms to the special anatomical structure of the femur. ICDN could provide a completely different structure, a different fixation principal and a more balancedfixation than GK nail. ICDN incorporates the flexible and rigid fixation, which is l ikely to be the trend of the fracture fixation.
OBJECTIVE: To modify the design of the Achilles tendon-scar composite flap into the Z-shape and to apply it into clinic situations to correct the tendon-scar contracture after burn and other injures. METHODS: According to degree of contracture and strephenopedia, the central limb of Z-shaped design lay in contracture line of posterior ankle area just over the Achilles tendon and extended 8 to 12 cm in length. Lateral limbs extended 5 to 8 cm and usual angles of the Z-shape was 60 degrees. The two tendon-scar composite flaps were made and slipped along the central limb between them. From March 1994 to August 1999, seven patients with Achilles tendon scar contracture were operated with this method. RESULTS: Excellent relieving of the Achilles tendon-scar contractue was achieved. No such complications happened as ischemia and necrosis of the flaps. CONCLUSION: The Z-shaped tendon-scar composite flap is practical in clinics. It is characterized by abundant blood supply, easily procedure and reliable result.
