METHODS: We performed Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with reserved gastric volume, a procedure in which gastrointestinal continuity was reestablished while excluding the entire duodenum and proximal jejunal loop. We observed the procedural success rate, long-term survival, and histopathological sequelae associated with a number of technical modifications. These included: use of anatomical markers to precisely identify Treitz's ligament; careful dissection along surgical planes; careful attention to the choice of regional transection sites; reconstruction using full-thickness anastomoses; use of a minimally invasive procedure with prohemostatic pretreatment and hemorrhage control; prevention of hypo-thermic damage; reduction in the length of the procedure; and accelerated surgical recovery using fast-track surgical modalities such as perioperative permissive underfeeding and goal-directed volume therapy. RESULTS: The series of modif ications we adopted reduced operation time from 110.02 ± 12.34 min to 78.39 ± 7.26 min (P < 0.01), and the procedural success rate increased from 43.3% (13/30) to 90% (18/20) (P < 0.01), with a long-term survival of 83.3% (15/18) (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Using a number of fast-track and damage control surgical techniques, we have successfully established a stable model of gastric bypass in diabetic rats.展开更多

Methods Moderate to advanced chronic periodontitis ( CP) was studied in 36 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients classified as 20 with high and fluctuating blood glucose level (DM-H) and 16 with relatively low and stable blood glucose level (DM-L). 28 non-DM CP patients acted as controls (Non-DM). Plaque index (PlI) , gingival index (GI) , bleeding on probing (BOP) , probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (AL) of all patients were recorded at 6 sites on each tooth at the baseline and 1, 3 and 6 months after oral hygiene instruction (OHI), scaling and root planing. Results It was found that the short-term effect of non-surgical periodon-tal procedure had resulted in significant resolution of gingival inflammation and pronounced reduction in pocket depth and gain of attachment loss in both DM and Non-DM CP patients. Conclusion The pilot study suggested that non-surgical periodontal treatment allowed for favorable treatment responses in a group of Chinese diabetic subjects with chronic periodontitis and that their various profiles of blood glucose did not influence the short-term healing response to OHI, scaling and root planning.展开更多

Methods From May 2003 to April 2005, 150 consecutive type 2 diabetic patients with MVD underwent revascularization, 84 by percutaneous coronary intervention (PC1) with DES and 66 by CABG. The study end point was the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) during hospital interval after procedure and follow-up. Results Most preoperative characteristics were similar in two groups, but left main disease (30% vs 4%, P = 0. 001 ) and three-vessel disease ( 70% vs 54%, P = 0. 045 ) were more prevalent in CABG group. Complete revascularization was achieved in more patients in CABG group than that in PC1 group (82% vs 67%, P =0. 037). Cumulative incidence of MACEs in hospital was similar between two groups (2.4% PC1 vs 9. 1% CABG , P =0. 069) despite the higher early morbidity (6. 1% vs 0%, P =0. 022) associated with CABG. Patients were followed up clinically for a mean of 18 - 8 months ( range 13- 36 months). The incidence of MACEs remained higher after PC1 with multiple DES (21.4% vs 9. 1%, P =0. 041 ) mainly driven by a more require for repeat revascularization ( 13. 1% vs 3. 0%, P = 0. 030 ). Conclusion PC1 with DES implantation, combined with tight glycemic control, aggressive cardiovascular risk factor modification and antiplatelet treatment, may be a safe and feasible alternative to CABG for selected diabetic patients with multivessel disease.展开更多

Type Ⅳ capitellum fracture is still controversial in regard to its ra- diographic appearance, surgical approach and osteosynthesis. We report 10 cases of type Ⅳ capitellum fracture with a view to elucidating its clinical features and treatment outcome. Methods: We treated 10 patients of type Ⅳ capitellum fracture with a mean age of 32 years. A uniform surgical approach and postoperative rehabilitation were followed. Results: Nine patients presented to us after a mean of 4 days of injury and one patient was nonunion after 6 months of injury who had been treated conservatively by a bone setter. Double arc sign was absent in 6 cases. Intraopera- tively 6 capitellotrochlear fragments were devoid of soft tissue attachments. By Mayo Elbow Performance Score evaluation, 7 patients got excellent, 2 good and 1 fair results. One patient with associated elbow dislocation developed heterotopic ossification. There was no case of avascular necrosis, osteoarthrosis or fixation failures. Conclusions: Type Ⅳ capitellum fractures are rare and belong to complex articular injuries. A good functional out- come can only be achieved with open reduction and stable internal fixation followed by early mobilization. Preopera- tive radiographic assessment and computed tomography help surgeons in choosing the right surgical approach and implants. Good surgical technique and stable internal fixa- tion are the keys to early mobilization and good functional outcome.展开更多
