Application 3D-locator to remove residual metallic foreign body in the soft tissue under the guidance of the X-ray / 中国综合临床

Objective To summarize clinical experience in removal of residual metallic foreign body in the soft tissue.Methods Clinical data of 742 cases with residual metallic foreign body in the soft tissue were analyzed.All the patients were forward from other hospitals with failed removal of the foreign body.Second surgery was performed in our hospital by grasping forceps using 3D-locator under the guidance of the C-shaped arm X-ray machine.Results Foreign body,such as scrap-iron,broken needle,nails,wine and so on located at different regions of soft tissues including neck,chest and abdomen,pelvis,and the four limbs were all successfully taken out.Removal rate of the foreign body was 100％.No complications such as bleeding,infection and nerve damage was occurred.The mean time of the procedures and radiation exposure for the removal surgery was 5 minutes.Conclusion Using 3D-locator and grasping forceps under the guidance of the X-ray,the residual metallic foreign bodies can be removed safely and efficiently.

Diagnosis and treatment of cholecystoduodenal fistula / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To explore the pathogenesis, pathomorphology, diagnosis and management of cholecystoduodenal fistula(CDF). Methods Clinical data of 11 cases of CDF admitted in our hospital in recent 17 years were analyzed retrospectively. Results All the patients were confirmed and treated by operation.Ten CDF were caused by cholecystitis and cholelithiasis,another one was caused by peptic ulcer.Only one case of CDF was diagnosed before operation. Nine patients were cured, and two patients died of severity infection of abdomen postoperatively. Conclusions Most CDF are caused by cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. X-ray film of abdomen,barium meal examination and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) are more useful for the diagnosis of CDF. The therapeutic principle of CDF is cholecystectomy,removing calculus, and repairing fistula with or without common bile duct exploration and/or bilioenterostomy.

Breast conserving surgery for early breast cancer: a report of 86 cases / 中国普通外科杂志

ObjectiveTo evaluate the breast-conserving surgery for early breast cancer.MethodFrom 1993 to 2000, 86 female cases of stage ⅠⅡa breast cancer received breast conserving comprehensive therapy. Clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsThe 5 year survival rate of this group was 96.5% and the 5 year recurrence rate was 5.2%.The postoperative contour of the breast was satisfactory.ConclusionBreast-conserving surgery is safe and effective therapy for early breast cancer, when strict indication and necessary safe margin of resection is obeyed by. Postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be properly arranged and the patients should be closely followed-up.

Expression and clinical significance of osteopotin in calcified breast tissue / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To investigate the expression of osteopontin(OPN) mRNA in breast tissues containing microcalcifications and the significance of OPN in tumor pathogenesis and metastasis of breast cancer.Methods The expression of OPNmRNA in 128 samples of tissues of breast lesions and adjacent breast tissues and 9 samples of metastatic lymph nodes were examined.Results The expression of OPNmRNA was highest in(calcified) foci of breast cancer tissues and in metastatic lynph nodes,lower in calcified foci of benign breast tissues and lowest in breast tissues adjacent to breast cancer and in benign tissues without calcification.The differences between the defferent tissues were significant(all P
