Objective To investigate the clinical effect of retroperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty on ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Methods From November 2010 to September 2015, a total of 28 cases (21 males and 7 females) with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty. All the 28 patients had a previous history of different degrees of lumbar pain, which was confirmed as typical UPJO by imaging examination. Operation method: following complete renal pelvis and upper ureter isolation, the renal pelvis was clipped into a trumpet-shaped mouth, 1/3 of the upper renal pelvis was temporarily kept without section. In the inferior margin of renal pelvis, longitudinal cut procedure was operated in the ureter and across the stenotic segment in about 1–2 cm; and then, anastomosis of the ureter and the renal pelvis at the lowest was performed, to maintain the continuity of the renal pelvis and ureter. Subsequently, the stenosed segment of ureter and the dilatant renal pelvis were removed, the posterior ureteropelvic anastomosis was made with an interrupted suture, and antegrade stenting of double J tube was further performed, followed by a continuous suture of the anterior wall. Results The procedure was successfully accomplished in all patients whithout conversion to open surgery. The operating time was 90-240 minutes with the median time of 160 minutes. The estimated blood loss was 20-70 mL with the median of 50 mL. No severe surgical complication occurred in perioperative period. The 3-24 -month follow up showed that symptoms of lumbar pain were relieved or disappeared in all the incorporated patients. Postoperative radiographic examination showed no stomal stenosis at the ureteropelvic junction, and the hydronephrosis was alleviated. Conclusions Retroperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty for UPJO is an effective, safe, and minimally invasive surgical technique. The key to the success of the operation is to the accurate renal pelvis clipping, tension- and torsion-free anastomosis of the lowest position of the renal pelvis and the ureter, and the reconstruction of a new funnel-shaped ureteropelvic junction.

Objective To investigate the way and process of degradation behavior of acellular porcine aortic valve in vitro. Methods Acellular porcine aortic valve（n=90）were randomly divided into 3 groups （collagenase group, elastase group, control group）, 30 piece in each group . Behavior of acellular porcine aortic valve was degradated with 0.05mg/ml collagenase Ⅰ, 0. 05mg/ml elastase, phosphate buffered solution in collagenase group, elastase group and control group. The histomorphology, weight loss, value of protein and hydroxyproline were observed at 3,6,9, 12, 15 and 30d after degradation. Results The behavior of acellular porcine aortic valve of collagenase group and elastase group became poorer, looser and broken gradually in degradation. The weight loss of valve, the value of protein and hydroxyproline in vehiculum became greater gradually in collagenase group and elastase group（P〈0. 01）. Furthermore the effect of collagenase Ⅰ was b than elastase in degradation. Conclusion The effect of collagenase Ⅰ and elastase can degradate the acellular porcine aortic valve in vitro. Collagenase Ⅰ is b than elastase in degradation.
Abstract： Objective To evaluate the early and late results of mitral valve replacement with home made C-L pugesturt tilting disc and analyse the factors which impact on the therapeutic effect，so as to elevate the operative effect. Methods A retrospective study was made on the result of clinical data and longterm followup of 259 patients who had undergone the Chinesemade C-L pugesturt tilting disc mechanical valve replacement from October 1991 to November 2006. Results The data showed that there were 12 patients died in the duration of hospital stay.The hospital mortality was 4.63% (12/259).There were no mechanical valverelated complication in the earlier postoperative period.The mortality fell to 2.59% since 1996.Among the 235 patients,12 patients were lost during the followup,the rate of followup was 95.1%(235/247).The time for followup was 9.77±3.09 years. There were 26 late deaths.During the follow-up,death associated with the deterioration of valve structure were not observed. The 5 years, 10 years and l5 years survival rates were 86.80%±2.30%, 78.20%±3.33% and 55.23%±4.34% respectively; the thromboembolic event free rates for 5 years, 10 years and l5 years were 95.95%±0.74%, 92.52%±4.11% and 80.52%±4.11% respectively; the anticoagulant related bleeding free rates for 5 years, 10 years and l5 years were 94.64%±1.75%, 89.55%±3.28% and 79.39%±4.43% respectively.There were 141 patients(67.46%) in New York Heart Association(NYHA) classⅠ, 56 patients(26.79%) in class Ⅱ, 10 patients(4.78%) in class Ⅲ and 2 patients(0.95%) in class Ⅳ. Conclusion The results of follow-up for 15 years suggest that the Chinesemade C-L pugesturt tilting disc medical mechanical valve is a reliable and safe choice for mitral valve replacement.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of arthroscopic debridement and release for post-traumatic arthritis of subtalar joint. Methods Between January 2011 and December 2014, 14 cases of post-traumatic arthritis of the subtalar joint underwent arthroscopic debridement and release, and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were male, aged 42 years on average (range, 32-62 years). Calcaneus fracture was caused by falling from height; 8 cases received conservative treatment and the other 6 cases received open reduction and internal fixation. The mean interval from injury to operation was 3.4 years (range, 2-7 years). The arthroscopic debridement and release were performed through lateral portals. The injury degree of articular cartilage was classified as grade 3 in 4 cases and grade 4 in 10 cases based on Outerbridge rating. The degree of pain was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) and the function of joint was assessed by the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle Hindfoot Scale. Results All incisions healed by first intention and no complication occurred. The follow-up time was 18 months. Pain was relieved obviously; VAS was significantly decreased to postoperative 3.8±0.9 at 18 months from preoperative 7.7±1.2 (t=9.728,P=0.000), and AOFAS Ankle Hindfoot Scale was significantly increased to postoperative 59.1±8.8 from preoperative 37.6±8.2 (t=6.688,P=0.000). During follow-up, no patient was given arthrodesis and no worsened sign was found on the postoperative CT and MRI. Conclusion Arthroscopic debridement and release for post-traumatic arthritis of the subtalar joint can relieve clinical symptoms and delay subtalar arthrodesis.
Limb motor dysfunction is the most common sequela of stroke. Its recovery cycle is long and difficult, which has an important impact on the physiology and psychology of patients. Therefore, the recovery of limb motor function after stroke has become the focus and difficulty of current rehabilitation. Brain-limb coordinate regulation technology is a rehabilitation strategy that effectively promotes the recovery of limb motor function and brain function through the organic combination of rehabilitation technology with limbs as target organs and brain as target organs. Based on the brain-limb coordinate regulation technology, this paper will systematically elaborate its theory and application through literature review, and then provide a more reasonable and effective choice for the treatment of limb motor dysfunction in stroke patients.
ObjectiveTo develop a patient satisfaction evaluation scale for day surgery and test its reliability and validity, so as to provide a scientific and effective tool for day surgery patient satisfaction assessment.MethodsThe literature review method was used to form an entry pool, and the initial version of the scale was formed in conjunction with the expert review method. And then a preliminary survey was conducted to obtain the tentative version of the scale. Finally, 290 day surgery patients discharged between June 15th and July 15th, 2019 were selected to accomplish a survey to check the reliability and validity of the scale.ResultsFinally, a day surgery patient satisfaction evaluation scale was formed, containing 3 stages (pre-hospital, hospitalization, and postdischarge follow-up), 3 dimensions (medical staff evaluation, medical service evaluation, and environment and process evaluation), and 40 items.
