[Effects of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy on the rates of sphincter preserving surgery in lower rectal cancer and analysis of their prognostic factors].
Objectives: To identify independent factors of sphincter preserving surgery, and to evaluated whether preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) improves the sphincter preservation rate for lower rectal cancers. Methods: A total of 541 consecutive patients who underwent curative surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer (cT3-4Nx or cTxN+ ) within 6 cm of the anal verge with or without neoadjuvant CRT in Department of Colorectal Surgery, Union Hospital, Fujian Medical University between September 2000 and September 2013 were reviewed. Of these, 333 patients underwent surgery alone (Non-CRT group) and 208 patients also received preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT group). ⋯ In an analysis according to tumor height, the sphincter preservation rate was higher in CRT group only when tumor was located in 3.0 to 3.9 cm and 4.0 to 4.9 cm from the annal verge (3.0 to 3.9 cm, 59.4% vs. 2.8%, χ2=26.138, P=0.000; 4.0 to 4.9 cm, 76.9% vs. 37.9%, χ2=10.563, P=0.001). Conclusions: There is a large increased rate of sphincter preservation when patients meet the following conditions: (1) tumor height prior to CRT higher than 4.5 cm, (2) not mucinous or signet ring adenocarcinoma, (3)pathological T stage higher than T3, (4) had received preoperative CRT. Only when tumors are between 3 and 5 cm from the anal verge, CRT could increase the rate of anal sphincter preservation.

[Application of indocyanine green-fluorescent imaging technique in planning resection line and real-time surgical navigation in small hepatocellular carcinoma].
Objective: To explore the value of near-infrared technology guided by indolecyanine green(ICG) in planning resection line and real-time surgical navigation in small liver cancer. Methods: From March to September 2015, 11 patients with hepatic tumors received hepatectomy were treated in First Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University. There were 5 male and 6 female patients with average age of (55±10)years (range 39-70 years). ⋯ Results of pathologic examination indicated that the total fluorescent type include 5 well differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma and 2 cirrhotic nodule; the partial fluorescent type include 3 moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas and 1 well differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas; the rim fluorescent type included 2 liver metastatic carcinoma and 2 poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas. The average diameter of the tumor size measured by CT was (1.7±0.2)cm, while the average diameter measured by ICG-fluorescent imaging was (1.7±0.3)cm(t=-0.188, P>0.05). Conclusion: Near-infrared technology guided by ICG has important value in planning resection line and real-time surgical navigation in small liver cancer.

[Analysis of complications in 61 extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cases].
To analyze the reason and treatment of the complications of 61 cases of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in order to improve survival rate of ECMO treatment. ⋯ Complications in ECMO are relative to patients' outcome intimately. Appropriate prevention and treatment of complication play a major role in the success of ECMO support. The incidences of certain complications reduce significantly due to progresses of equipment and medical experiences.

[A biomechanical evaluation of odontoid screw plate fixation system].
To evaluate the biomechanical stability of anterior odontoid screw plate (AOSP). ⋯ The AOSP fixation system has excellent biomechanical performance when dealing with type Ⅰ Hangman fracture, type Ⅱ odontoid fracture, and the C2-3 disc injury, and appear to be a safe and effective technique for dealing with the combined injury.
