ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of lung tissue flap repairing esophagus defect with an inner chitosan tube stentin in order to complete repairing and reconsruction of the esophagus defect.MethodsFifteen Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups， experiment group(n=10): esophagus defect was repaired with lung tissue flap having inner chitosan tube stent; control group(n=5): esophagus defect was repaired with lung tissue flap without inner chitosan tube stent; and then the gross and histological apearance in both groups were observed at 2, 4,8 weeks after operation, barium sulphate X-ray screen were observed at 10 weeks after operation.ResultsSix rabbits survived for over two weeks in experiment group, lung tissue flap healed with esophageal defect, squamous metaplasia were found on the surface of lung tissue flap in experiment group. At 10 weeks after operation, barium sulphate examination found that barium was fluent through the esophageal and no narrow or reversed peristalsis, the peristalsis was good in experiment group.Four rabbits survived for two weeks and the lung tissue flap healed with esophageal defect, fibrous tissue hyperplasy on the surface of the lung tissue flap in control group. At 10 weeks after operation, barium sulphate examination found that barium was fluent through the esophageal and slight narrow or reversed peristalsis, the peristalsis was not good in control group, otherwise.ConclusionIt is a feasible method to repair the esophageal defect with lung tissue flap with the inner chitosan stent.
【Abstract】 Objective To review the recent progress of hi p resurfacing arthroplasty. Methods Literatureconcerning hip resurfacing arthroplasty and current achievements was extensively and comprehensively reviewed. Results The new metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty made much progress especially in materials and technology, and the results were satisfactory for short-term follow-up. This was increasingly widely used especially in treating young patients. But there were still some problems such as elevation of metal ions which had already aroused publ ic attention. Conclusion The new metal-onmetal hip resurfacing arthroplasty is an efficient method in the treatment of adult hip joint disease and has an encouraging future, but long-term follow-up is still needed.
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of the reverse transposition of pedicled soleus muscle flap in repairing soft tissue defects after Pilon fracture fixation. Methods From May 2002 to June 2006, 14 patients (11 males, 3 females; aging 2050 years) with soft tissue defects afterPilon fracture fixationunderwent repairing operations with the reverse soleus muscle flaps. The soft tissue defects ranged from 7.0 cm×3.5 cm to 100 cm×60 cm. Of the patients, Pilon fractures were treated by internal fixations in 9 cases, open Pilon fractures weretreated by external fixations in 5 cases. The area of muscle flap ranged from 8.5 cm×5.5 cm to 12.5 cm×7.5 cm. Results All patients achieved primary healings, and the grafting skin survived. Twelve flaps survived completely but 2 flapshad mildinfection, which survived after dressing change. Eleven patients were followed up for 3 to 26 months, averaged 15 months. The flap appearances were good and smooth without ulceration. The dorsiflexion ranges of ankle joint were 10-25°, and plantar flexion ranges were 15-40°. The gait was normal. Conclusion The reverse soleus muscle flap is no need to reveal blood vessel pedicle and has constant position of anatomy. It has big muscle belly, convenient to move and circuitation 180°. It is profitable to reduce infection rate and to promote wound healing to raise local osteotylus.
Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and surgical treatment of intrathoracic Castleman disease(CD). Methods Clinical data of 14 cases pathologically diagnosed as CD as analysed retrospectively. There were 6 males and 8 females, with an average age of 29 years(17-58). All were undergone surgical resection or biopsy. Among the 12 patients who had unicentric CD, 11 were performed open thoracotomy and lymphadenectomy with posterolateral or sternum approach, and one was treated by video assisted mini thoracotomy(VAMT). For the diagnosis of multicentric CD, one of the 2 patients had video assisted thoracic surgery(VATS) and wedge resection of the lung, and the other had video mediastinoscopy. Results No patient died perioperatively. All were successfully restored except two complications. One had dyspnea in the second postoperative day, as a result of the softening and collapse of bronchial wall in the entrance of the right main bronchus, which revealed by bedside fiberoptic bronchoscopy. One who had lymphadenopathy in the aortopulmonary window suffered from transient hoarseness after surgery. They recovered after symptomatic treatment finally. Regarding pathological classification, there were 11 cases of hyaline vascular type, 2 cases of plasma cell type and 1 case of mixed cellularity type. 13 cases were followed up for 8-110 months and longterm survive was achieved. No recurrence was observed in the 11 cases with unicentric CD and no relapse was occurred in the 2 cases with multicentric CD. Conclusion Both freezing pathology during operation and paraffin pathology postoperation are important for establishing the diagnosis. For unicentric CD, the clinical symptoms are significantly alleviated and it can be universally cured after operation. Multicentric CD needs multiple therapies after the diagnostic procedure and close follow-up.
