A Novel Nomogram to Identify Candidates for Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection Among Patients with Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer Diagnosed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging-targeted and Systematic Biopsies

Background

Available models for predicting lymph node invasion (LNI) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) might not be applicable to men diagnosed via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsies.

Canal wall reconstruction and mastoid obliteration with composite multi-fractured osteoperiosteal flap

We used inferior pedicled composite multi-fractured osteoperiosteal flap (CMOF), our original and new surgical approach, to obliterate the mastoid cavity and reconstruct the external auditory canal (EAC) to prevent the open cavity problems. CMOF was used to obliterate the mastoid cavity and reconstruct the EAC in 24 patients (13 women, 11 men; age span 12–51 years) who underwent radical mastoidectomy to treat the chronic otitis media between 1998 and 2004. Small meatoplasty was done in all 24 patients to relive their aesthetical concerns. Temporal bone CT scanning was done to observe the neo-osteogenesis in the mastoidectomy cavity and the CMOF, and the EAC volume was measured postoperatively. All our patients were followed-up for 2 years. The epithelization of the new EAC in our patients was complete at the end of the second month. Cholesteatoma, granulation, and recurrence of osteitis did not occur in any of the patients. We saw the new bone formation filling the mastoid cavity in the postoperative temporal bone CT scanning images. The mean volume of the new EAC on the 24th month was 1.83 ± 0.56 cm³. We had an almost natural EAC, which owed its existence to the neo-osteogenesis that grows behind the CMOF, which we use to obliterate the mastoid cavity and to reconstruct the EAC.This technique, composite multi-fractured osteoperiosteal flap, was presented in the symposium of Gulhane Military Medical Academy on otology and audiology, 15–18 September, 2005, Antalya, Turkey.     

Desmoplastic malignant melanoma: An aggressive tumor

Summary The clinical features and histological appearance of desmoplastic malignant melanoma are presented. Aggressive surgical management and close follow-up are mandatory if this highly aggressive tumor is to be controlled. Despite this, the prognosis is poor.     

Effect of pentoxifylline on veno-occlusive priapism-induced corporeal tissule lipid peroxidation in a rat model

Objective: To investigate whether pentoxifylline could play a role in attenuation of the hazardous effects of ischemia/reperfusion on corporeal tissue in a rat model of veno-occlusive priapism (VOP). Materials and methods: Placebo and pentoxifylline were given to eight groups of rats prior to priapism being induced by a vacuum constrictive device for durations of 6 and 12 h, respectively. Half of the groups of rats that underwent the same duration of priapism (ischemic) were subjected to 1 h of detumescence after band removal (reperfusion). One group underwent no manipulation and no drug administration and served as a baseline determination (control). Corporeal homogenates were examined for lipid peroxidation (LP) derived malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation via thiobarbituric acid assay. Results: MDA concentration differed significantly between VOP rats and controls (P < 0.001) but did not differ significantly between ischemic-only groups and reperfused groups (P > 0.05). In the pentoxifyllinepretreated groups, although MDA accumulation tended to be slightly lower than in the placebo groups, the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05) either in the 6- or 12-h duration priapic groups. Conclusions: LP, an indicator of radical oxygen metabolite (ROM) induced injury, occurs in rat corporeal tissue during and after abolishment of VOP. Single-dose pentoxifylline pretreatment failed to exert a protective effect on corporeal tissue in a rat model of VOP in terms of attenuation of LP.     

乳癌根治术后并发臂丛神经损伤

乳癌根治术是治疗乳腺癌的主要手段,但并发臂丛神经损伤的报道却很少,总结从1989年10月～1991年2月华山医院诊治的9例,3例门诊治疗,6例住院治疗。其中5例行神经松解后,皮瓣或肌皮瓣转移覆盖神经瘢痕区。随访到8例,疼痛改善3例,感觉和运动改善2例,疗效不理想,认为寻找预防措施是减少乳癌根治术后臂丛损伤的根本办法。     

Screening of the antiradical action of vegetable oils

Information on radical scavenging activity (RSA) and antioxidant potential of vegetable oils are not reported, or reporting has been rather limited. Such data is of importance for the evaluation of nutritional and health impact of these oils. The main objective of this short study was to compare the antiradical performance of some common and unusual vegetable oils. The described arrangement for our simple experiment uses the addition of stable radicals 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) to vegetable oils, which are decomposed by components having antioxidant properties. The order of effectiveness of oils in inhibiting free radicals was as follows: coriander>blackcumin>cottonseed>peanut>sunflower>walnut>hemp seed>linseed>olive>niger seed. This initial survey might serve as a springboard for future research into this area.     

围手术期肠外营养支持在胃癌根治术的应用

1986～1988年的胃癌扩大根治术221例及根治性全胃切除术19例非肠外营养(N-TPN)支持为对照组,与1991～1993年的198例及61例施行TPN治疗为实验组进行对比。N-TPN组术后并发症总发生率为7.2％,TPN组则为2.0％;全胃切除术并发症发生率分别为31.6％和4.9％(P<0.01)。吻合口瘘发生率N-TPN组分别为2.7％和10.5％,而TPN组则均为0.0％(P<0.01)。膈下脓肿发生率N-TPN组为31.6％和15.8％,而TPN组则为1.5％和3.3％(P<0.05)。但本研究是回顾性的,所以要有待进行前瞻性的、对照的、随机的大范围研究。
