Randomized Controlled Trial[A prospective longitudinal study examining the impact on short term quality of life of hand video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer].
To evaluate the impact of hand video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (HVATS) and Ivor-Lewis surgery on short term quality of life (QL) of patients with esophageal cancer. ⋯ HVATS esophagectomy is a safe procedure which has a low disturbance to patients' short term Quality of Life compared with Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy. It might seem reasonable to choose HVATS esophagectomy for patients with early stage esophageal cancer.

[Total femoral prosthesis replacement in management of femoral malignant bone tumor].
To discuss the indications of reconstruction with total femoral prosthesis for the patients with a majority of femur infiltrated by malignant bone tumor, and to evaluate the functional outcome and complication. ⋯ Total femoral prosthesis replacement could be used in the treatment of the patients with a majority of femur infiltrated by malignant bone tumor and could effectively recover their limb function to a great extent. The procedure can effectively improve the quality of life for the patients with malignant bone tumor staging IIIB.

[Total knee arthroplasty and perioperative management of hemophilic arthritis].
To evaluate the clinical results and perioperative management of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in hemophilic patients. ⋯ Total knee arthroplasty could alleviate knee pain and improve joint function in advanced severe hemophilic arthritic patients. It is important to monitor the activity and inhibitors of coagulation factor VIII or IX, which could decrease the early and late postoperative complications.

Comparative Study[Comparison of changes in early pulmonary function and hemodynamic between unilateral and bilateral lung volume reduction for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
To compare changes in early pulmonary function and hemodynamics between unilateral and bilateral lung volume reduction (LVRS) for severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ⋯ Unilateral and bilateral LVRS is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with severe COPD, the pulmonary function significantly improved postoperatively, but the results of bilateral LVRS is better than unilateral. Both unilateral and bilateral LVRS showed no significant deterioration in hemodynamics, there were no significant difference between preoperatively and postoperatively.
