The diameter of the HCCs ranged from 1 cm to 5 cm (mean 2.8 cm). In all cases RFA was performed with percutaneous approach under ultrasound guidance using expandable needle electrode (LeVeen needle). Treatment efficacy and recurrence were evaluated with dual-phase spiral computed tomography (CT).RESULTS: Complete necrosis after single or multiple treatment was achieved in 96.8% (61/63) tumors. We observed recurrence after complete necrosis in 23 patients (41%) during a mean follow-up of 32.3 months. The recurrences were local in 2 patients (8.6%) and in different segments in 21 (91.4%). Major complications occurred in 3 patients (4%). During follow-up period, 32 (57.1%) patients died; 15 due to progression of HCC, 11 from liver failure, 3 from esophageal varices bleeding and 3 from the causes not related to liver disease.CONCLUSION: RFA with LeVeen needle is an effective and safe treatment for HCC 〈 5cm in cirrhotic patients. It has yet to be established how far this treatment influences the survival rate of patients. It becomes important to establish treatments to prevent recurrences in different segments, such as interferon therapy.展开更多

Methods: From June 2003 to June 2007, 128 cases of thyroid tumors, including 123 cases of adenoma and 5 cases of carcinoma, were performed by Miccoli's endoscopic thyroidectomy. The surgical techniques and the clinical outcomes with respect to pathologic results, duration of operation, postoperative drainage, pain, cosmetic results and complications of endoscopic thyroid surgery via the neck approach were retrospectively summarized. Results: NI the patients underwent minimally invasive endoscope-assisted thyroidectomy successfully. Five cases of carcinoma revealed by frozen section. In which, 3 papillary carcinoma cases underwent subtotal thyroidectomy of disease-side in video-assisting, whereas the other 2 cases with follicular and medullary carcinoma underwent conventional total thyroidectomy of disease-side combined with subtotal thyroidectomy of the opposite-side. The transient hoarseness occurred in one patient and recovered well one week later, and the other patients recovered successfully without any complications. Conclusion: Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy for thyroid adenoma is safe and reliable. This procedure offers a shorter incision, less invasion and better cosmetic results as compared with conventional thyroidectomy.展开更多

Methods: From the accept and treat patients with intractable postpartum hemorrhage in our hospital from June 2013 to March 2014, 86 cases were chosen to be retrospectively analyzed, randomly divided into observation group and control group with 43 cases in each group. The control group was underwent gauze packing while observation group were packing gauze joint with improved uterine suture Cho, the two groups were observed therapeutic effects and complications. Results: The total efficiency of observation group is 93.02%, and the total efficiency of the control group is 62.79%, there is a significant better treatment effect for observed group than the control group (P 〈0.05), and complication rate of observation group is significantly lower than the control group (P 〈0.05). Conclusions: In refractory postpartum hemorrhage intervention therapy, the use of gauze packing combined with modified suture uterus Cho has better clinical treatment effect with high security, so it is worthy of clinical application.展开更多

The purpose of this study is to report the long term surgical treatment outcome of closed talar dome fractures.Methods: Eight closed talar body fractures, treated by open reduction and internal fixation with small fragment cancellous screws and/or Herbert screws in our level Ⅰ trauma centre were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative and postoperative radiographs of the foot (antero-posterior, lateral and oblique views) and ankle (antero-posterior, lateral and mortise views) were obtained. The patients were followed up both radiologically and functionally (foot function index, FFI) after 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and then annually.Results: There were five crush fractures and three shear fractures (two sagittal shear and one coronal shear),with average follow-up of 5 years. No early complications were noticed in these patients. Late complications included osteoarthrosis of subtalar/ankle joints in six patients and osteonecrosis oftalar body in four patients. On functional assessment, mean FFI after 5 years was 104.63 points and worse outcome was noticed in crush injury and coronal shear fractures. Sagittal shear fractures had a good functional and radiological outcome.Conclusions: Late complications subsequent to surgically treated talar body fractures are inevitable, even though exact reduction and rigid fixation are achieved, thus patients are supposed to be counseled about the adverse outcome. Although crush and coronal shear fractures have poor outcome, sagittal injuries have good prognosis on long term evaluation.展开更多
