Objective To observe the inhibition effect of selective cyclooxygenase2 inhibitor(celecoxib)on the experimental choroidal neovascularization(CNV). Methods Thirty 8-10 weeks old healthy male Brown-Norway(BN)rats were randomly divided into the control, laser and celecoxib group,with 10 rats in each group. At the dosage of 50 mg/kg, celecoxib was gavaged twice per day. After 7 days, experimental CNV was induced by Krypon laser on laser group and celecoxib group. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was performed on days 3, 7,14,21,30 after laser photocoagulation.On days 21 after photocoagulation, 5 rats in each group were sacrificed and the relative thickness of CNV membranes, the expression of COX-2, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) were studied by histopathologic or immunohistochemistry examination.Results On days 21 after photocoagulation, the incidence of CNV in the celecoxib group is significantly lower than that in the laser group (chi;2=7.1068,P=0.0077); the relative thickness of the CNV membranes in the celecoxib group is reduced 41.38% compared to the laser group, the difference is statistically significant (t=16.760 0,P=0.0000).COX-2,VEGF and MMP-2 expression in the CNV membrane of celecoxib group were significantly lower than in control group (t=5.710 0,5.840 0, 8.020 0; P=0.000 0); the COX-2, VEGF and MMP-2 expressions in choroid and retina of control group were weak. Conclusion Prophylactic celecoxib can reduce the expression of VEGF and MMP-2 by inhibiting COX-2, and prevent the CNV induced by laser photocoagulation.

This article introduces these management measures of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, aiming to provide a reference for establishing a more complete hospital emergency management system in line with China’s system in the future.
Objective?To compare the double dorsal phalangeal flap (DDPF) with the combination of digital neurovascular island flap (NVIF) and first dorsal metacarpal artery flap (FDMA) in terms of repairing digit degloving injury.?Methods?From October 2005 to March 2008, DDPF was used to repair 9 patients (9 fingers) with degloving injury of the thumb and index finger and completely amputated thumb and index finger (group A). From August 1996 to June 2007, NVIF and FDMA were used to repair 13 patients (13 fingers) with the thumb degloving injury and completely amputated or necrotic thumb (group B). In group A, there were 7 males and 2 females aged 19-48 years old, there were 4 cases of thumb and index finger degloving injury repair and 5 cases of completely amputated thumb and index finger reconstruction, the skin defect ranged from 6.0 cm × 3.5 cm to 7.0 cm × 4.5 cm, and the interval between injury and operation was 3-10 hours. The size of DDPF harvested during operation was 4.0 cm × 3.5 cm-5.0 cm × 4.0 cm. In group B, there were 10 males and 3 females aged 18-50 years old, there were 5 cases of thumb degloving injury repair and 8 cases of completely amputated or necrotic thumb reconstruction, the skin defect ranged from 6.0 cm × 3.0 cm to 7.0 cm × 4.5 cm, and the interval between injury and operation was 3 hours-5 days, and the size of NVIF and FDMA harvested during operation was 3.5 cm × 3.0 cm-5.0 cm × 4.0 cm. The donor site was repaired with the full-thickness skin graft.?Results?All the flaps survived uneventfully except for 1 case in group A suffering from venous crisis 1 day after operation and 2 cases in group B suffering from FDMA artery crisis 4-12 hours after operation. Those flaps survived after symptomatic treatment. All the wounds healed by first intention. All patients in two groups were followed up for 1-12 years (average 3.2 years). All the donor sites were normal except for 3 cases in group B suffering from flexion contracture deformity of the proximal interphalangeal joint due to the scar contracture in the margin of NVIF donor site. According to Allen test, the skin temperature and color of the donor fingers in two groups were normal under room temperature; 1 case of group A and 6 NVIF donor fingers of group B were pale and cold under ice water. According to sensory recovery evaluation system, 16 fingers in group A were graded as S4, 1 as S3+, and 1 as S2; while in group B, 3 NVIF fingers were graded as S3, 6 NVIF fingers as S2, 4 NVIF fingers as S1, and 13 FDMA fingers as S4. The appearance of the recipient flap was satisfactory and the color was similar to the surrounding skin. The skin temperature and color of the flaps in two groups were normal under room temperature; 2 cases of group A and 4 recipient fingers of group B were pale and cold under ice water. In group A, all the palmar flap of the recipient finger achieved the reorientation of the recipient flap sensation; while in group B, 8 cases achieved the reorientation of the recipient flap sensation, and 5 cases had double sensation. For the two-point discrimination of the flap, group B was superior to that of group A in terms of the palmar aspect (P lt; 0.05), no significant difference was evident between two groups in terms of the dorsal aspect (P gt; 0.05), and the palmar aspect of each group was superior to the dorsal flap (P lt; 0.05).?Conclusion?DDPF is less invasive to donor finger, easy to be operated, able to partially restore the sensory of the injured finger, and suitable for the repair of the degloving injury of the thumb and the index finger. Combination of NVIF and FDMA can restore the fine sensory of recipient palmar flap better and is applicable for those patients suffering from digital nerve defects from the proximal phalanx and with high demand for the recovery of thumb sensory.
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of analyzing the pattern of gallbladder wall enhancement on MDCT to identify the different causes of acute cholecystitis. Methods In January 2009 to December 2012, 169 patients diagnosed with acute cholecystitis caused by various pathologic conditions were performed MDCT scans, the images of portal venous phase and clinical data were retrospectively reviewed by two blinded radiologists. There were 146 cases in non-hepatopathy cholecystitis group and 23 cases in hepatopathy cholecystitis group. The other 5 normal gallbladder cases diagnosed by MDCT scans were retrospectively reviewed as contrast group. Using five patterns according to the enhancement pattern of flat gallbladder wall thickening on MDCT. The study cases were then divided into five patterns and the thickness of the mucous membrane were measured. The occurrence rate of each pattern and the thickness of the mucous membrane between the groups were compared respectively. Results In the non-hepatopathy cholecystitis group, there were typeⅡin 102 cases (69.9%), typeⅢin 5 cases (3.4%), typeⅣ in 30 cases (20.5%), and typeⅤ in 9 cases (6.2%). In the hepatopathy cholecystitis group, there were typeⅡin 2 cases (8.7%), typeⅢ in 11 cases (47.9%), typeⅣin 5 cases (21.7%), and typeⅤin 5 cases (21.7%). The occurrence rate of typeⅡin the non-hepatopathy cholecystitis group was significialtly higher than that in the hepatopathy cholecystitis group (P<0.005). The occurrence rate of typeⅢ and typeⅤ in the hepatopathy cholecystitis group were significialtly higher than those in the non-hepatopathy cholecystitis group(P<0.005, P<0.05). The occurrence rate of type Ⅳ between the two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05). TypeⅠonly present in the contrast group. The non-hepatopathy group’s mean mucous membrane thickness was (2.61±1.30) mm , which was thicker than the hepatopathy group’s (2.02±0.52) mm(t=2.22, P<0.05). Conclusion Analyzing the enhancement pattern of a thickened gallbladder wall on MDCT is helpful in identifying the causes of acute cholecystitis, and the gallbladder perforation or not.
