nificant difference from the angle after traction(t=0.16,P=0.88; t=2.28,P=0.32). There was no loss of orthopedic angle. None of the patients had internal fixation displacement, loosening or fracture. Conclusion The treatment of severe scoliosis with accompanied with split cord malformation by halo pelvic traction is safe and effective, which is worthy of further confirmation by large sample study.Objective To examine the long-term efficacy of radiofrequency closure in the treatment of great saphenous vein varicose. Methods The clinic data of 185 patients with varicose veins of lower limbs treated with radiofrequency closure admitted at Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from July 2016 to January 2017 was analyzed retrospectively. A total of 203 limbs were treated by radiofrequency closure. The long-term efficacy of radiofrequency closure was evaluated by analyzing the closure rate, clinical-etiology- anatomy-pathophysiology (CEAP) grading, venous clinical severity score (VCSS), chronic venous insufficiency questionnaire (CIVIQ) score, and complications, using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results All procedures were successful. The closure rate was 98.0% (199/203) at one year and two years postoperative, which was still maintained at 97.5% (198/203) at 3 years of follow-up. Postoperative CEAP grading was significantly downgraded compared with that before the operation. Totally 88.4% (76/86) of C5 to C6 grade patients downgraded to C2 to C4 grade at 6 months, and 95.3% (82/86) downgraded to C0 to C2 garde at 3 years postoperative. VCSS and CIVIQ score in both groups significantly improved at all follow-up time points compared to preoperative scores (VCSS F=1 064.7, P=0.003; CIVIQ score F=2 984.3, P=0.001). The most common complication was subcutaneous blood stasis (10.8%), most of which disappeared within 1 month after the surgery. Other complications included pigmentation and thrombophlebitis (5.9% and 3.9%, respectively). Conclusion The long-term efficacy of radiofrequency closure of the great saphenous vein is satisfactory.Objective To evaluate the performance of the European Evidence-based Guidelines on Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms (EEGPCN)(2018) and International Association of Pancreatology(IAP) Guideline(Version 2017) in predicting high grade dysplasia/invasive carcinoma-intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(HGD/INV-IPMN). Methods A retrospective analysis of 363 patients,who underwent surgical resection in Changhai Hospital affiliated to Navy Medical University from January 2012 to December 2018 and were pathologically identified as (intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, IPMN),was performed. The patients,including 230 males and 133 females,aging (61.7±10.1) years(range19 to 83 years). The proportion of HGD/INV-IPMN who met with the absolute indication(AI) of EEGPCN and high risk stigma(HRS) of IAP were compared. The binary Logistic regression analysis was used to find the independent risk factors of HGD/INV-IPMN.Eight combinations of risk factors derived from relative indication/worrisome feature or risk factors in thisly. Older patients and younger patients could respectively refer to combination Ⅶ and combination Ⅵ to improve the management of IPMN. Conclusions Patients who meet AI of EEGPCN should undertake resection, otherwise the method we explored is recommended. The method of improvement for diagnosis of HGD/INV-IPMN is relatively applicable and efficient for decision-making of surgery, especially for younger patients with decreasing of missed diagnosis and elder patients with decreasing of misdiagnosis.Objective To investigate the etiology,clinical features and prognosis of pediatric liver retransplantation. Methods The data of 1 024 cases of pediatric liver transplantation (30 days) group. The etiology of liver retransplantation,pre-transplant score,time interval between two transplantations,surgical aspects,major complications and survival rates were compared between the two groups. Continuous variables with normal distribution were compared with t test,while Mann-Whitney U test was applied to compare variables without normal distribution. Categorical variables were compared with chi-square test. The survival curves were created by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by Log Rank test. Results The median follow-up time was 26.8(30.2) months(range 1 day to 85.7 months), and the incidence of retransplantation was 1.9%. In the early-retransplantation group,the duration of surgery was (439.8±151.0)minutes,the graft-to-recipient weight ratio was 5.0(1.8)%(range3.6% to 6.1%),the main cause for retransplantation wers receiving early retransplantation,while the surgery is relatively more complex in patients receiving late retransplantation,which is reflected by longer duration of surgeries. Patients in the late-retransplantation group showed similar recipient survival rates with primary liver transplantation recipients,and the survival rates are superior to those of patients in the early-retransplantation group. Infection and multiple organ failure are the most common fatal causes after retransplantation.Objective To evaluate the effect of transfusion-free techniques on the prognosis of liver transplant patients. Methods The recipients of adult liver transplantation at Tianjin First Central Hospital from August to December 2019 were included in the clinical observation. Liver transplantation without allogeneic blood transfusion was performed through anesthesia management techniques such as acute hemodilution or phlebotomy without volume replacement,maintaining decreased baseline central venous pressure and cell saver. According to the actual results,the patients were divided into two groups transfusion-free group(n=21) and allogeneic transfusion group(n=28). There were 13 males and 8 females aged of (56.3±11.6) years in the transfusion-free group;and there were 16 males and 12 females aged (54.3±14.2)years in the allogeneic transfusion group. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ginkgolic-acid-s9432.html The transplant recipients who had not adopted transfusion management strategy from January to July 2019 were included as control group(27 males and 13 females,aged of (58.
