【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the effect of autologous free fat particle grafting combined with bFGF to repairfacial depression. Methods From April 2004 to May 2006, 41 patients with facial depression were randomized into two groups (groups A and B). In group A, 12 cases were admitted from April 2004 to December 2004. There were 5 males and 7 females, aging 16-49 years (mean, 31 years). The pathological causes were congenital facial depression in 2 patients, hemifacial atrophy in 2, traumatic cicatrix in 5 and benign tumor removal in 3. The course of disease was 2-19 years. The concave regions were low (0.52 ± 0.13）cm compared to surrounding normal skin, concave area (16.0 ± 5.3）cm2. In group B, 29 cases were admitted from January 2005 to May 2006. There were 14 males and 15 females, aging 18-52 years (mean, 37 years). The pathological causes were: congenital facial depression in 3 patients, hemifacial atrophy in 4, traumatic cicatrix in 15 and benign tumor removal in 7. The course of disease was 2-20 years. The concave regions were low (0.58 ± 0.15）cm compared to surrounding normal skin, concave area (18.0 ± 6.2）cm2. Cases in group A were treated with pure autologous free fat particleinjection; cases in group B were treated with autologous free fat particle injection combined with bFGF(4 200 IU/10 mL). The cl inical outcome were comparatively analyzed between two groups after operation. Results The follow-up time was 6 to 24 months (mean, 12.5 months) in group A and 6 to 24 months (mean, 13 months) in group B. In group A, 6 patients achieved satisfactory cl inical effect after one injection of fat particle, the satisfactory rate of one therapy being 50%; other 6 cases were required reinjection of fat particle 6-12 months postoperatively, of which two-time injections in 3 cases, three-time injections in 3 cases. In group B, 24 patients achieved satisfactory cl inical effect after one injection of fat particle, the satisfactory rate of one therapy being 82.8%; only 5 cases were required reinjection one year postoperatively. There was statistically significant difference in the satisfactory rate of one injection between two groups (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Autologous free fat particle grafting combined with bFGF to treat facial depression can acquire satisfactory cl inical effect, which is a safe and effective method.
【 Abstract 】 Objective To investigate the features and risk factors of bacterial infection after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and summarize the experiences for prevention and treatment of infection. Methods The clinical materials of 79 patients underwent OLT from December 2004 to January 2007 were reviewed. The incidence and sites of postoperative bacterial infections as well as species of bacteria and the situation of drug resistance were retrospectively analyzed. Results Thirty-two (40.5%) out of 79 patients developed bacterial infections. Infection mainly occurred in lung, abdominal cavity and blood, which were mainly caused by Escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, klebsiella pneumoniae, staphylococcus epidermidis and enterococcus bacteria. The main risk factors included delayed restoration of gastrointestinal function (gt;5 d), poorly preoperative liver function (Child C grade), hypoproteinemia and persistent postoperative hyperglycemia (gt;11.0 mmol/L). Perioperative decontamination in digestive tract was a protective factor in the prevention of bacterial infection. Conclusion Bacterial infection is one of the most severe complications after OLT. Therefore, it is very important to remove those risk factors, make early diagnosis and take effective treatment ．
ObjectiveTo summarize the recent progress in prevention of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) so as to provide clinical references. MethodsThe publications concerning the etiology and surgical management of PJI were reviewed, analyzed, and summarized. ResultsThe prevention of PJI is related to preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative aspects of PJI, comprehensive treatment is considered to be the most common method for PJI. ConclusionThese prevention strategies that may be utilized in all phases of perioperative care, a multifaceted approach to the patient undergoing total joint replacement will have the greatest positive effect
Objective To observe the action and correlation of p16 and estrogen receptor (ER) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).Methods Using immunohistochemical method, the p16 and ER in 50 cases of PTC were detected. Results The expression of p16 and ER was associated with the cellular differentiation, the lymphatic metastasis and prognosis in PTC. Conclusion It is helpful to detect the p16 protein and ER for analyzing the cellular differentiation degree and prognosis in PTC.
Objective To study the surgical treatment of tracheal and main bronchial tumors. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 30 patients with tracheal and main bronchial tumors treated in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2000 to December 2015. There were 12 males and 18 females with the age ranging from 22 to 80 years. Results Ten patients were treated with enucleation, 12 patients tracheal tumor resection and end-to-end anastomosis, 1 patient window resection, 1 patient wedge resection, 5 patients tumor resection and tracheal reconstruction by using pulmonary tissue flap with alloy stent and 1 patient left pneumonectomy. One patient died of sudden massive hemoptysis 26 d after operation. Intraoperative complications were found in 2 patients. Others had a good recovery after operation. Patients were followed up for 11 months to 14 years. Eight patients were followed up less than 5 years postoperatively, one patient died of sudden massive hemoptysis 14 months after operation, while others survived; 21 patients were followed up more than 5 years and 5 patients were lost to follow-up. Conclusion Surgical resection is recommended for tracheal and main bronchial tumors. Patients with small benign tumor may choose local tracheal resection; tracheal segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis is the most common surgical treatment. Patients with more than half of the whole length of tracheal defects or in the risk of anastomotic ischemic necrosis may be suggested to receive tracheal reconstruction.
