Association of Hypoalbuminemia on the First Postoperative Day and Complications Following Esophagectomy

Objective Changes in serum albumin may reflect systemic immunoinflammation and hypermetabolism in response to insults such as trauma and sepsis. Esophagectomy is associated with a major metabolic stress, and the aim of this study was to determine if the absolute albumin level on the first postoperative day was of value in predicting in-hospital complications. Methods A retrospective study of 200 patients undergoing esophagectomy for malignant disease at St. James Hospital between 1999 and 2005 was performed. Patients who had pre and postoperative (days 1, 3, and 7) serum albumin levels measured were included in the study. Patients were subdivided into three postoperative albumin categories <20 g/l, 20–25 g/l, >25 g/l. Logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate the odds of morbidity and mortality according to the day 1 albumin level. Results Patients with an albumin of less than 20 g/l on the first postoperative day were twice as likely to develop postoperative complications than those with an albumin of greater than 20 g/l (54 vs 28% respectively, p < 0.011). Correspondingly, these patients also had a significantly higher rate of Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (22 vs 5%, p < 0.001), respiratory failure (27 vs 8%, p < 0.01) and in-hospital mortality (27 vs 6% (p < 0.001). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, day 1 albumin level was independently related to postoperative complications (odds ratios, 0.89: 95%; confidence intervals, 0.83–0.96; p < 0.005). In addition, albumin <20 g/l on the first postoperative day was associated with the need for further surgery and a return to ICU. Conclusion Serum albumin concentration on the first postoperative day is a better predictor of surgical outcome than many other preoperative risk factors. It is a low cost test that may be used as a prognostic tool to detect the risk of adverse surgical outcomes.     

Osteochondral Fracture of the Fourth Metatarsal Head Treated by Open Reduction and Internal Fixation

Fracture of the metatarsal head is uncommon, and reports of isolated osteochondral fracture of the metatarsal head are rare. Because of the distal location of the fracture, it is difficult to achieve and maintain reduction, and potential complications include avascular necrosis and subchondral fatigue fracture. The authors present a case of an osteochondral fracture in a 40-year-old man, which was treated by open reduction and internal fixation with a single twist-off screw, with good results 12 months postoperatively.     

急性心肌梗死患者睡眠质量的临床研究

目的 对急性心肌梗死（Acute Myocardial Infarction，AMI）患者睡眠状况进行观察，研究其规律性及与心肌梗死发生、转归的关系。方法 对75例AMI患者分别进行睡眠质量观察和评估。结果 AMI患者按睡眠质量总分分组后，高得分组（≥5．06分，40例）的平均住院时间、梗死面积、合并症数目均明显高于低得分组（〈5．06分，35例），而低得分组的日常生活能力得分却明显高于高得分组（P〈0．05）。结论 AMI患者有明显的睡眠质量下降，并影响其梗死面积、合并症、日常生活活动能力和住院时间。     

Subakute Verlegung der Atemwege infolge eines retropharyngealen H?matoms nach Halstrauma

Mechanical airway obstruction secondary to retropharyngeal bleeding is rare. In most cases such a complication is described after head and neck trauma. Complicating factors include anticoagulant therapy, tumour, aneurysm, infection or major cervical spine injury. A precise initial diagnosis is necessary to avoid a life-threatening situation. Lateral X-ray and computed tomography is essential for safe management. Treatment depends upon size of the haematoma as well as the clinical course of the patient. Smaller haematomas may be observed. Lager haematomas and those that fail to reabsorb should undergo drainage.      

微创经皮钢板内固定技术治疗胫骨近端骨折

目的探讨微创经皮钢板内固定（MIPPO）治疗胫骨近端骨折的方法和临床疗效。方法对15例胫骨近端骨折患者采用间接复位技术和MIPPO技术治疗。结果所有患者术后随访4-12个月；骨折均临床愈合，愈合时间3—7个月，无畸形愈合、感染及钢板断裂。功能采用Johner—Wruhs评分标准：优10例，良4例，中1例。结论MIPPO是治疗胫骨近端骨折的理想方法之一。     

股骨远端骨折术后骨不连原因分析及处理

目的探讨股骨远端骨折术后骨不连的原因及处理方法。方法分析11例股骨远端骨折术后骨不连的原因,均再次手术、植骨、解剖钢板内固定。结果10例获1年1个月-3年8个月随访,骨不连均愈合,愈合时间11.6-19.8个月（平均16.9个月）。无钢板、螺钉松动断裂。膝关节功能按Kolment评分标准：优3例,良5例,差2例。结论内固定不当、骨缺损尤其是内侧骨缺损未充分植骨修复、术后管理不当等是导致骨不连的重要因素。植骨、解剖钢板内固定是治疗股骨远端骨折术后骨不连较适宜的方法。     

逆转腹壁浅动脉皮瓣修复股前外侧皮瓣供区

目的探讨股前外侧皮瓣供区覆盖的新方法，以减少供区并发症。方法2003年12月～2005年12月，在应用股前外侧皮瓣移植修复肢体创伤的同时，采用逆转腹壁浅动脉皮瓣修复股前外侧皮瓣供区8例，股前外侧皮瓣修复部位：手背侧损伤伴肌腱缺损骨外露2例，足部开放性骨折伴皮肤缺损2例，小腿Gustilo Ⅲ型开放性骨折伴皮肤缺损3例，前臂掌侧皮肤缺损伴肌腱外露1例。腹壁供区伤口直接缝合。结果移植股前外侧皮瓣全部成活。逆转腹壁浅动脉皮瓣完全成活7例，1例部分坏死，经换药后愈合。股前外侧皮瓣供区伤口平均15d愈合，随访6～18个月（平均12个月），股前外侧皮瓣供区愈合平整，色泽均衡，髋关节和膝关节活动完全正常。腹壁伤口仅留线状瘢痕。结论应用逆转腹壁浅动脉皮瓣修复股前外侧皮瓣供区是一种实用而又有创意的方法。     

Osteotomy of the tibial tubercle in complex primary total knee replacement

Objective  Stiffness and severe deformity pose a major challenge in total knee arthroplasty. Numerous techniques have been described to gain exposure and improve knee flexion. Tibial tubercle osteotomy provides excellent and safe exposure of the joint, although mechanical and wound complications have been reported. Materials and methods  We present a series of 32 consecutive complex primary total replacements where an osteotomy of the tibial tubercle was utilised. Results  The patients had a mean follow-up of 2 years and 11 months. Following the procedure, with the exception of one case complicated with deep infection, all of the patients had improved clinically. The mean postoperative range of motion had increased to 102° (give P value < 0.005) and there were no cases of delayed union or non-union. A mechanical complication related to technique occurred in one patient; there were no other cases with a postoperative extension lag. Conclusion  In this challenging population group, we have found a tibial tubercle tuberosity osteotomy to greatly facilitate exposure without compromising the clinical and radiographic outcome.
