Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Cytokine responses after lobectomy for early non-small cell lung cancer: a prospective randomized comparison of video-assisted thoracic surgery and open thoracotomy].
To compare video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and open thoracotomy (OT) on acute inflammatory responses and immunosuppression after lobectomy for early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ⋯ VATS lobectomy for early NSCLC is associated with less acute inflammatory responses and less immunosuppression when compared with OT.

Meta Analysis[Meta-analysis of suture techniques for midline abdominal incisions].
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of suture techniques for midline abdominal incisions with systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ To reduce the incidence of incisional hernia without increasing wound infection frequency, the ideal suture technique is mass closure using a continuous suture, with an adequate suture length/wound length ratio no less than 4:1, the suture materials should be slowly absorbable.

[Clinical outcomes of surgical correction for ankylosing spondylitic kyphosis].
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of posterior surgical corrective methods for ankylosing spondylitic kyphosis. ⋯ Based on the simulated osteotomy in computer before surgery, according to the characteristics of ankylosing spondylitic kyphosis, different posterior osteotomy and correction methods can achieve good results.

[The learning curve of single-direction complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer].
To analyze the learning curve of single-direction complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (cVATS) for lung cancer. ⋯ At the early stage of cVATS resection of lung cancer, the duration of operation was longer, which it was more significant for the surgeons with short carrier of thoracoscopic experience. But the morbidity of operation related complications did not increase. The indicator of proficiency in this operation is achievement of 50 cases of complete thoracoscopic resection of lung cancer.

[The utility of transcranial magnetic motor evoked potential monitoring during spinal surgery].
To evaluate the practicability and validity of transcranial magnetic motor evoked potential monitoring (TMS-MEP) during spinal surgery. ⋯ Myogenic TMS-MEP is a valid and practicable technique for intraoperative monitoring, and the etomidate + fentanyl technique is adequate for its anesthesia. BIS and TOF monitoring are helpful to maintain the steadiness of the anesthesia and MEPs, which is very important for monitoring the changes of the MEPs.
