【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MethodsArticles have been reviewed to find out the theory of spontaneous rupture of HCC. ResultsResearchful results suggested that the injury of small arteries was usually followed in patients of spontaneous rupture of HCC. In this review, the immune complex, which composed of hepatitis B virus e antigen, complement C1q and immunoglobulins, was found deposited in the elastic membrane of arteries. Likely as a result of immune complex deposition, vascular injury occurs mainly in the small arteries where the deposition of immune complex was present. The small arteries in which immune complex deposited are readily injuried and cause hemorrhage and rupture of HCC during vascular load increase. ConclusionWe would conclude that immune complex deposition in vessel wall led to the small arteries injury may be the factor involved in the pathogenesis of spontaneous ruptured HCC.
ObjectiveTo analyse the effectiveness of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for the patients with spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SONK). MethodsBetween January 2012 and December 2016, 31 patients with SONK was admitted and treated with medial UKA. All patients were examined by both plain radiography and magnetic resonance images. The patients were composed of 5 men and 26 women with an average age of 64.3 years (range, 48-79 years), and with 16 left joints and 15 right joints. The average disease duration was 14.7 months (range, 6-26 months). Preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) was 6.00±1.15, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score was 55.77±11.03, and knee range of motion (ROM) was (114.68±10.40)°. The imaging examinations showed that all the lesions were located in the medial compartment of the knee joint and there were 19 patients with Aglietti stage Ⅳ and 12 patients with Aglietti stage Ⅴ. Preoperative femorotibial angle (FTA) was (177.39±1.63)° and posterior tibial slope (PTS) was (84.05±1.39)°. ResultsAll the incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 14-46 months (mean, 25 months). At last follow-up, VAS score was 2.06±0.72 and HSS score was 86.45±3.67, which both improved significantly when compared with preoperative scores (t=22.73, P=0.00; t=–14.72, P=0.00). ROM was (118.06±3.80)° with no significant difference when compared with preoperative ROM (t=–1.78, P=0.08). The X-ray films showed there was no severe adverse events, such as periprosthetic infection, aseptic loosening, bearing dislocation, and so on. At last follow- up, PTS was (85.30±1.19)° with significant difference compared with preoperative one (t=–4.07, P=0.00); while FTA was (177.51±1.98)° with no significant difference when compared with preoperative FTA (t=–0.38, P=0.71). ConclusionUKA may be an optional management for SONK with minimally invasive, bone-preserving, and rapid recovery.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and prognosis of emergency hepatectomy and second stage hepatectomy after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in spontaneous rupture and bleeding of resectable primary liver cancer.MethodsA total of 42 patients with spontaneous rupture and bleeding of resectable primary liver cancer in this hospital from January 2010 to January 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Among them 24 cases had accepted the emergency hepatectomy in 24 h–48 h after admission (emergency hepatectomy group, n=24), 18 cases had accepted the second stage hepatectomy in 1 week–2 weeks after the TACE (second stage hepatectomy group, n=18), the intraoperative blood loss and intraoperative blood transfusion volume, perioperative mortality, postoperative incidence of hepatic insufficiency, recurrence rate and abdominal metastasis rate within 1 year after the operation, 1- and 3-year survival rates were compared between the emergency hepatectomy group and the second stage hepatectomy group.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between these two groups (P>0.050). The intraoperative blood loss and transfusion volume of the emergency hepatectomy group were significantly more than those of the second stage hepatectomy group (P=0.028, P=0.017). There were no significant differences in the perioperative mortality (P=0.489), incidence of hepatic insufficiency (P=1.000), 1- and 3-year survival rates (P=0.650, P=0.463) and 1-year recurrence rate (P=0.601) between these two groups. No intraperitoneal implantation metastasis was found in these two groups.ConclusionBoth emergency hepatectomy and second stage hepatectomy after TACE are safe and effective in treatment of spontaneous rupture and bleeding of resectable primary liver cancer, appropriate treatment should be selected according to the specific conditions of patients.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of various covering tissues for improving the cure rate of spontaneous rupture of esophagus. METHODS From 1970 to 1994, 13 cases with spontaneous rupture of esophagus were performed primary repair, among them, 10 cases were covered by pedicled greater omentum after impair, and the other 3 cases were covered by pedicled pleural flap. RESULTS: Satisfactory result and complete recovery were obtained in all 10 cases by using pedicled greater omentum. Two cases among 3 cases using pedicled pleural flap suffered re-rupture of esophagus at 5 days and 8 days after operation, and died because of whole body exhaustion. CONCLUSION Pedicled greater omentum is a good covering tissue for repair of spontaneous rupture of esophagus.
ObjectiveTo analyze the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) and the risk factors in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax who underwent micro single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).MethodsA total of 158 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax who underwent micro single-port VATS in our hospital from April 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively included, including 99 males and 59 females, with an average age of 40.53±9.97 years. The patients were divided into a PPC group (n=21) and a non-PPC group (n=137) according to whether PPC occurred after the operation, and the risk factors for the occurrence of PPC were analyzed.ResultsAll 158 patients successfully completed the micro single-port VATS, and there was no intraoperative death. The postoperative chest tightness, chest pain, and dyspnea symptoms basically disappeared. During the postoperative period, there were 3 patients of pulmonary infection, 7 patients of atelectasis, 4 patients of pulmonary leak, 6 patients of pleural effusion, 1 patient of atelectasis and pleural effusion, and the incidence of PPC was 13.29% (21/158). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lung disease [OR=32.404, 95%CI (2.717, 386.452), P=0.006], preoperative albumin level≤35 g/L [OR=14.912, 95%CI (1.719, 129.353), P=0.014], severe pleural adhesions [OR=26.023, 95%CI (3.294, 205.557), P=0.002], pain grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ 24 hours after the surgery [OR=64.024, 95%CI (3.606, 1 136.677), P=0.005] , age [OR=1.195, 95%CI (1.065, 1.342), P=0.002], intraoperative blood loss [OR=1.087, 95%CI (1.018, 1.162), P=0.013] were the risk factors for PPC after micro single-port VATS.ConclusionThere is a close relationship between PPC after micro single-port VATS and perioperative indexes in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax. Clinically, targeted prevention and treatment can be implemented according to the age, pulmonary disease, preoperative albumin level, intraoperative blood loss, degree of pleural adhesion and pain grading 24 hours after surgery.
Objective To explore clinical efficacy and independent risk factors related to the recurrence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Method We retrospectively anal- yzed the clinical data of 566 PSP patients by VATS in our hospital between December 2011 and June 2014 year. The patients were divided into a triple-port group(110 patients with 88 males and 22 females, aged 31.34±15.62 years) and a double-port group (456 patients with 383 males and 73 females, aged 31.46±15.65 years) by operation methods. We tried to find out the independent risk factors related to the recurrence. Results There was no statistical difference in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, drain removal, postoperative complications, postoperative length of hospital stay and rate of postoperative recurrence between the two groups (P>0.05) . However, the operation time (P<0.001) and the drainage of postoperative 48 hours (P<0.05) in the double-port group was shorter or less than that in the triple-port group. The overall recurrence rate was 1.41% (8/566) . The minors (OR=14.75, P=0.045) , no bulla type (OR=32.76, P=0.019) , and multiple bulla type (OR=15.48, P=0.013) were the independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence. Conclusions The double- port VATS technique has similar effect with triple-port VATS technique on spontaneous pneumothorax patients under- gone pulmonary bullae ligation and pleurodesis. Bulla ligation and whole mechanical pleurodesis can get better clinical efficacy and lower rate of recurrence. The minor, no bulla type, and multiple bulla type are the independent recurrence risk factors of PSP after surgery.
