An additional screw-rod system seems to solve it, but its biomechanical characters are still not well understood, which need experimental evaluation. Methods: Six pelvic specimens were prepared in three conditions (normal intact pelvis, "normal"; the pelvis of left Type I-IV defect and implanted with prosthesis without/with additional screw-rod system, "rod-" and "rod+"). Compressing biomechanical experiments (50-500N) were performed in these three conditions, respectively. Results: The loadings during the experiments are in accordance with the linear elastic control mode. Under the increasing loading, the implanted pelvises displaced asymmetrically, unlike normal intact pelvis. The vertical displacement of "rod+" changed significantly, whereas "rod-" did not. For both implanted pelvis, right side displaced less than left side (P values 〈0.05). Conclusions: The implanted pelvis showed asymmetric displacement under loading, where healthy side displaced more. The implanted pelvis plus screw-rod system showed less displacement at implanted side but more at contralateral side in comparison with those without screw-rod system.展开更多

After sphincterotomy, however, 10%-15% of common bile duct stones cannot be removed with a basket or balloon. The methods for managing "irretrievable stones" include surgery, mechanical lithotripsy, intraductal or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and biliary stenting. The case presented was a referred 82-year-old Caucasian woman with a 7-year-old plastic biliary endoprosthesis in situ . To the best of our knowledge the examined endoprosthesis is the oldest endo-prosthesis in situ reported in the literature. Endoscopic biliary endoprosthesis placement remains a simple and safe procedure for patients with stones that are difficult to manage by conventional endoscopic methods and for patients who are unfit for surgery or who are high surgical risks. To date no consensus has been reached regarding how long a biliary prosthesis should remain in situ . Long-term biliary stenting may have a role in selected elderly patients if stones extraction has failed because the procedure may prevent stones impaction and cholangitis.展开更多

This endoprosthesis have proved its unique complex of favorable surgical and oncological properties, such as the shape and size accommodation for mammary gland plasty purposes, absence of shell and textured surface. Of 184 patients, operated on radically for initial stages of MGM, using "Nubiplant" endoprosthesis, postoperative complications have had occur in 18 (9,8%): the wound seroma in 12 (6,5%) and partial necrosis of cutaneous edge of postoperative wound – in 6 (3,8%). The seromas were successfully treated by their punctures and local necrosis - using excision with secondary suture placement. Late follow-up results were obtained in 112 (60,9%) patients: three-year period have had survived 104 (92,6±2,4%), and a five-year one – 84 (75,0±4,0%) of them. A contracture capsule was revealed in 3 (2,6%) patients, and excised with the endoprosthesis change. “Nubiplant” endoprosthesis have advantages over most popular worldwide kinds of such products. It may be used securely and effectively for total or partial reconstruction of mammary gland, including cases with hypoplasia, and is more resistant to trauma, radiation therapy and local complications occurrence, including contracture capsule formation. Its property to absorb the water may be used for purposes of plastic surgery. Prophylaxis of specific immediate surgical complications is trustworthy in MGM patients, using modified endoprosthesis “Nubiplant”, containing insulin, antihistamine and antiseptic medicines.展开更多
