Objective To evaluate the clinical experience and skills of laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with non-stapling of mesh and without using a balloon dissection in order to spread and popularize this kind of operation. Methods Under general anesthesia, 32 patients (42 sides) with inguinal hernias were repaired by laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with non-stapling of mesh and without using a dissection balloon from August 2005 to December 2007. Results All of operations were successfully performed. The operative time was 60-120 minutes, the blood loss was 20-60 ml, and the length of postoperative hospitalization was 3 days. All cases were followed up for 8 to 18 months and found no recurrence. Conclusion Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with non-stapling of mesh and without using a balloon dissection is feasible, reliable and effective, offering a low recurrence rate, while its price is higher than tension-free herniorrhaphy by traditional method.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of sevoflurane and propofol on preoperative implicit and explicit memories in general anaesthesia patients of elective surgery. MethodsThe surgical inpatients in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled from December 2013 to May 2014, and were randomly divided into three groups (S, P, M). In Group S, anesthesia was induced and maintained with sevoflurane. In Group P, anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol. Midazolam was not utilized throughout the whole anaesthesia for the above groups. Patients in Group S and Group P were given a list of test materials to remember and listen before the anesthesia. Within 12 to 36 hours after operation, memory was assessed, based on the Buchner's model applied on the process dissociation procedure (PDP) using a phrases task. The Group M was given the same test materials, and received test with the PDP in 12 to 36 hours before surgery. Value A and value R were used to represent the implicit memory score and the explicit memory score, respectively. ResultsA total of 150 patients were included, and 50 cases were included in each group. During testing, 2 cases were excluded, 3 cases were loss to follow-up, so finally 49 cases were included in the Group S, 47 cases in the Group P and 49 cases in the Group M. The results showed that there were significant differences in the implicit memory score (A) and the explicit memory score (R) among the three groups (all P values <0.05). The explicit memory score (R) of the Group M was higher than those of the Group P and Group S (all P values <0.05), the implicit memory score (A) in the Group M was higher than those of the Group S and Group P (all P values <0.05), and the implicit memory score (A) in the Group S was higher than that of the Group P (P<0.05). ConclusionPropofol and sevoflurane can decrease the score of explicit memory after anesthesia within 12 to 36 hours, and there are no significant differences in explicit memory between the two drugs. Both propofol and sevoflurane can decrease the score of implicit memory, but the influence of sevoflurane on the implicit memory is less than propofol within 12 to 36 hours.
【Abstract】 Objective To summary the effects of staged pelvic closure using external fixator combined withreconstruction plate for old Tile B1 pelvic fracture. Methods From August 2000 to August 2006, 14 patients (9 males and 5 females, age ranging from 21 to 65 years with old Tile B1 pelvic fracture with pubic symphysis separation were treated. The injuries were caused by the traffic accident in 10 patients, high crash in 3, and crush in 1. The duration ranged from 4 weeks to 3 months. The 14 patients were compl icated with other injuries in some degrees. The X-ray and CT showed pubic symphysis separation. In 13 patients, pubic symphysis separation distance was more than 2.5 cm, who also had fracture or dislocation in the posterior structure of pelvis. The X-ray films showed the mean pubic symphysis separation distance was (6.67 ± 2.11) cm preoperatively. The 14 patients underwent pelvic external fixation at first and staged pelvic closure gradually for the pubic symphysis separation. After 2 to 3 weeks, when the pubic symphysis separation distance was less than 1 cm, the patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation with reconstruction plate. Pubic symphysis separation distance was measuredin the preoperative and postoperative pelvic anterioposterior X-ray films. The condition of the posterior structure of pelvis was observed in CT films. The functions of patients were assessed according to Majeed grading system. Results All incisions healed by first intention. The 14 patients were followed up for 6 months to 2 years (15 months on average). The X-ray films showed the mean pubic symphysis separation distance of post-operation was (0.85 ± 0.23) cm, showing statistically significant difference when compared with that of pre-operation (P lt; 0.05). The CT films showed fracture and dislocation of the posterior structure of pelvis had bony heal ing after 6 to 12 months. According to the Majeed grading system, the results were excellent in 5 cases, good in 4 cases, fair in 4 cases and poor in 1 case; the excellent and good rate was 64.29%. Conclusion Staged pelvic closure using external fixation combined with reconstruction plate for old pelvic fracture with pubic symphysis separation can reduce the pubic symphysis separation distance significantly. Satisfactory effects can be expected in treating the patients with TileB1 fracture.
To set up an economic and effective method for islet isolation from rat, and thereby prove a laboratory protocol of animal model for cl inical islet transplantation. Methods Twenty-five adult male SD rats weighing 230-380 g were used as organ donor. In each of 5 repeated experiments, pancreatic islets of 5 animals were isolated by intraductal infusion of compound sodium chloride injection (CSCI), and subsequently, digested with low concentration (0.5 mg/mL)of collagenase V solution. Islet purification was performed by using a discontinuous density gradient centrifugation thatwas prepared with 27.0%, 23.0%, 20.5% and 11.0% of Ficoll 400. Islet yield and purity were determined by dithizon (DTZ)stain, and propidium iodide (PI)/fluorescein diacetate (FDA) double stain was used to check viabil ity of islets. The endocrine secretory function was assessed by insul in secretion in either low (2.8 mmol/L) or high (25.0 mmol/L) glucose incubation after 3 days of culture in RPMI1640 media. Results Average islet digestion time of 5 experiments was (13.8 ± 1.6) min. Before purification, average isolated number was (5 626 ± 422) islets, and the number was significantly reduced to (2 914 ± 485) islets after purification (P lt; 0.01). The average recovery rate was 51.6% ± 6.0%, and the average yield was (583 ± 97) islets/pancreas. The average purity and viabil ity of islets were 90.2% ± 3.4% and 81.6% ± 7.0%, respectively. After 3 days of culture, insul in secretion of the islets was (116.1 ± 17.4) EU/L in high glucose incubation, which was significantly higher than that of low glucose environment [(39.7 ± 7.5) EU/L, P lt; 0.01)]. The average insul in stimulation index was 3.0 ± 0.4. Conclusion The islet isolation with the CSCI solution and digestion with low concentration of collagenase V decrease experimental cost and also have a beneficial effect on islet recovery and their function.
To separate the overlapped protein spots in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) images, we proposed an auto-separating algorithm based on valley characteristics. Firstly, the marker-controlled watershed algorithm was used to detect the initial outlines of the object regions. Secondly, medial axis transform and hierarchical branch pruning method were applied to the main skeletons of the object regions, and each main skeleton was fitted into line segments to describe the overlap directions. Then, the 3-dimensional model of the object region was scanned on the normal planes of the line segments to find the valley locations. And finally, a validation model was adopted to construct separation lines. The experiments on 2 real scanned 2-DE images showed that the true overlap separate (TOSs) were 78.95% and 85.71%, respectively. The results indicated that the proposed algorithm was better than the existing algorithms and could be used in engineering practice.
The existing retinal vessels segmentation algorithms have various problems that the end of main vessels are easy to break, and the central macula and the optic disc boundary are likely to be mistakenly segmented. To solve the above problems, a novel retinal vessels segmentation algorithm is proposed in this paper. The algorithm merged together vessels contour information and conditional generative adversarial nets. Firstly, non-uniform light removal and principal component analysis were used to process the fundus images. Therefore, it enhanced the contrast between the blood vessels and the background, and obtained the single-scale gray images with rich feature information. Secondly, the dense blocks integrated with the deep separable convolution with offset and squeeze-and-exception (SE) block were applied to the encoder and decoder to alleviate the gradient disappearance or explosion. Simultaneously, the network focused on the feature information of the learning target. Thirdly, the contour loss function was added to improve the identification ability of the blood vessels information and contour information of the network. Finally, experiments were carried out on the DRIVE and STARE datasets respectively. The value of area under the receiver operating characteristic reached 0.982 5 and 0.987 4, respectively, and the accuracy reached 0.967 7 and 0.975 6, respectively. Experimental results show that the algorithm can accurately distinguish contours and blood vessels, and reduce blood vessel rupture. The algorithm has certain application value in the diagnosis of clinical ophthalmic diseases.
Finite element method (FEM) was used to investigate the biomechanical properties of three types of surgical fixations of U-shaped sacral fractures. Based on a previously established and validated complete lumbar-pelvic model, three models of surgical fixations of U-shaped sacral fractures were established: ① S1S2 passed through screw (S1S2), ② L4–L5 pedicle screw + screw for wing of ilium (L4L5 + IS), and ③ L4–L5 pedicle screw + S1 passed through screw + screw for wing of ilium (L4L5 + S1 + IS). A 400 N force acting vertically downward, along with torque of 7.5 N·m in different directions (anterior flexion, posterior extension, axial rotation, and axial lateral bending), was exerted on the upper surface of L4. Comparisons were made on differences in separation of the fracture gap and maximum stress in sitting and standing positions among three fixation methods. This study showed that: for values of separation of the fracture gap produced by different operation groups in different positions, L4L5 + S1 + IS was far less than L4L5 + IS and S1S2. For internal fixators, the maximum stress value produced was: L4L5 + IS > L4L5 + S1 + IS > S1S2. For the intervertebral disc, the maximum stress value produced by S1S2 is much larger than that of L4L5 + S1 + IS and L4L5 + IS. In a comprehensive consideration, L4L5 + S1 + IS could be prioritized for fixation of U-shaped sacral fractures. The objective of this research is to compare the biomechanical differences of three different internal fixation methods for U-shaped sacral fractures, for the reference of clinical operation.
ObjectiveTo provide theoretical and technological support for further study of liver metabolism and disease by comparing the advantages and disadvantages of various artificial liver models (biological). MethodsLiteratures were searched and compared to summarize the requirement for liver donor, isolation, and culture of hepatocyte. ResultsIn the separation method of hepatocyte, mechanical separation method had no requirement for liver donor, and was easy to acquire hepatocyte, while the acquired hepatocyte would be destructed severely, and the survival rate was low. On the other hand, the restriction of the digestion of the hepatocytes to the liver cell samples was unlimited, while the key of the enzyme digestion method was to regulate the balance between enzyme concentration and digestion time, which was limited to function researches of hepatocyte, and research about the responds of hepatocyte against outside, and other few researches. Perfusion digestion method had been widely applied for animal test. The Ca2+, collagenase and perfusion rate, pH value, buffer, and intubation method all play vital roles. During the cultivation, we needed to choose different methods according to several experiments, and add different additives in the appropriate medium. Different biological reactors had different advantages, disadvantages, and applicable conditions. ConclusionsThe donor selection is based on various experimental purposes to harvest hepatocytes from different sources. Whether on the separation process or on the cultivation process, according to the specific circumstances, such as the concentration, perfusion time, and the choice of different kinds of culture medium, we can choose different kinds of bioreactors, but all kinds of methods are still remained with multiple insufficiencies, which require more researchers to improve.
