Clinical Trial[Incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing thoracotomy and changes of hemostasis].
To survey the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in high risk patients undergoing thoracotomy and observe the changes of hemostatic activity. ⋯ Of the patients undergoing major thoracic surgery,53.8% of them had a postoperative DVT by postoperative screening duplex ultrasound. In Chinese population, incidence of DVT appears to be high without prophylaxis, which is similar to other reports of westerners. These patients had a number of risk factors for the development of DVT, which include older age, overweight, hypertension, diabetes, and history of thromboembolism, etc. Prophylactic measures should be taken against postoperative venous thromboembolism in major thoracic surgery with high risk, including early mobilization, anticoagulant therapy with heparins, and intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC).

[Detection and identification of Mycobacteria with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) from patients with Mycobacterial skin infections].
To establish a rapid approach to the detection and identification of Mycobacteria from lesions of patients with suspected Mycobacterial infections. ⋯ The results above indicate that PCR-RFLP analysis is rapid and reliable in detection and identification of different Mycobacteria species from skin tissues. Application of this method will be helpful for early diagnosis and treatment of Mycobacteria skin infections.

Randomized Controlled TrialEpidural anesthesia can protect fibrinolytic function after surgery.
To study the influences of different anesthesia techniques on stress response, coagulation and fibrinolytic function. ⋯ Epidural anesthesia can preserve fibrinolytic function after lower-abdomen surgery by the inhibitory effects on surgical stress, PAI-1 and other mechanisms. The thromboprophylactic effects are revealed only following epidural anesthesia.

Review[Application of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) in delayed unions and non-unions].
Nonunion remains a major complication after skeletal trauma. In the last decade, extracorporeal shock wave therapy has become a common tool for the treatment of delayed unions or non-unions. With the help of a review of the literature, the current author gave an overview of indications, choices of devices, success rates and complications for ESWT in the treatment of non-unions. The conceivable mechanism was also outlined.
