RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the pathogenesis and clinical efficacy of arthroscopic treatment for hallux ganglion cyst deriving from ankle joint. Methods: The clinical data of 21 patients with ankle arthroscopic in the Department of Hand and Foot Surgery,Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from January 2019 to March 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 15 male and 6 female cases,aged (52.6±8.2) years (range:42 to 70 years).There were 9 cases of primary operation and 12 cases of recurrence after operation in other hospital.All the patients were examined by ankle arthrography and MRI before operation.The synovial membrane of the ankle was debrided and the tendon sheath of flexor longus was removed at the ankle canal.One year after operation,MRI was performed,and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS) score of forefoot function and visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after operation were compared by the paired t test or Mann-Whitney U test.The postoperative complications and recurrence were recorded. Results: All patients were operated successfully.The joint capsule at the back of the ankle joint of the patients were ruptured and communicated with the tendon sheath of the flexor longus tendon at the ankle canal.No wound infection,vascular and nerve injury occurred.The follow-up period was (15.0±2.2) months (range:12 to 18 months).During the follow-up period,there was no recurrence of toe appearance and MRI.At the last follow-up,the AOFAS score (90.8±4.3) was significantly higher than that (72.8±6.3) before operation (t=-10.810,P<0.01),and the VAS score(M(IQR)) was significantly lower than that before operation,the difference was significant (1.0(1.0) vs. 3.0(0.5), Z=-4.081,P<0.01). Conclusions: The possible mechanism of hallux ganglion cyst deriving from ankle joint is that the joint capsule at the back of the ankle joint ruptures and communicates with the tendon sheath of the flexor longus tendon at the ankle canal,and the intra-articular synovial fluid through the cylinder effect generated by sliding with the flexor tendon of the flexor longus tendon in the tendon sheath sac leads to the heel valange cyst.Ankle-synovial cleansing of the ankle joint under ankle arthroscopy and resection of the flexor tendon sheath of the flexor longus tendon at the ankle canal are effective and less invasive.
RESUMO
Objective: To analyze the effect of insufficient intake of vitamin D (VD) on sperm quality and male fertility and to discuss the mechanism of the effect. Methods: VD deficiency mice were fed with VD-deficient diet and light-sheltered. The sperm motility, morphology, ultrastructure, testicular pathology, sex hormones and fertility of normal and VD-deficient mice were analyzed to investigate the effects of VD deficiency on male reproduction. Results: Compared with the normal group, the mice with VD deficiency had lower sperm concentration[(128±53) ×10(6)/ml vs( 58±15) ×10(6)/ml, P<0.05], less sperm in the epididymis, slightly less mature spermatozoa.The serum testosterone[(328±65 )nmol/L vs(255±58 )nmol/L]and estradiol levels[(60±115) pmol/L vs(384±104) pmol/L]were significantly lower (P<0.05), and the FSH[(296±177)ng/L vs(219±105 )ng/L]and LH[(393±129) ng/L vs(364±108) ng/L]levels were significantly higher (P<0.05). The other tests did not show any significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: The impact of insufficient intake of VD on sperm quality is not prominent, the specific impact of VD on male reproductive needs to be further studied.

AIM: The mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects of oxytocin (OT) on colon tone are not totally understood. We explore the mechanisms of OT on spontaneous contractility in rat distal colon and identify the mediators involved in this action. METHODS: In rat distal colon strips, mechanical activity was analysed and the production of nitric oxide (NO) in tissue loaded with the fluorochrome DAF-FM was visualized by confocal microscopy. OT receptor (OTR) expression was determined by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. RESULTS: In rat distal colon, OT produced a concentration-dependent reduction in the spontaneous contraction, which was abolished by the OTR antagonist atosiban, the neural blocker tetrodotoxin and the inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) NPLA. The inhibitory effects of OT were not affected by propranolol, atropine, the nicotinic cholinoceptor blocker hexamethonium, the vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor antagonist VIPHyb, the P2 purinoceptor antagonist PPADS, the adenosine A1 receptors antagonist DPCPX and the prostacyclin receptor antagonist Ro1138452. The soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) inhibitor ODQ and the small conductance Ca2+ -activated K+ (Ca K+ ) channels blocker apamin significantly reduced the relaxation induced by OT, nicotine, sodium nitroprusside and the sGC activator BAY 41-2272. The neural release of NO elicited by OT was prevented by NPLA, tetrodotoxin and atosiban. The presence of the OTR and its co-localization with nNOS was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting experiments. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate the NO release from enteric neurones induced by activation of OTR mediates distal colon relaxation. sGC and small conductance Ca K+ channels are involved in this relaxation.

Since 1972, 17 patients have been surgically treated for double aortic arch at our institution. The procedure became necessary before 12 months of age in 11 patients and before 24 months in 16 patients. The major symptoms were respiratory distress, noisy breathing, and respiratory infections; four patients also had dysphagia. A high degree of clinical suspicion should warrant further investigation. Barium swallow and bronchoscopy were diagnostic and revealed extrinsic compression of the esophagus and trachea, respectively. Division of the anterior arch was performed in 16 patients; the right (posterior) arch was divided in the remaining patient. Kommerell's diverticulum was found in four patients and was resected in order to avoid recurrence of dysphagia by compression. A vascular suspension procedure was necessary in 13 patients to further release the trachea and esophagus. There was no mortality in this series, and symptomatic improvement was achieved in all patients. A degree of tracheomalacia may be responsible for some residual symptoms in four patients.

Between 1970 and 1988, 12 restrosternal esophageal substitutions using an ileocolic interposition were performed. The ages of the 12 children ranged from 2 to 6 years. In 11 children the esophageal strictures were secondary to ingestion of caustic liquid. All patients had failed esophageal dilation therapy. One death occurred on the 7th postoperative day following an episode of cardiac arrest at surgery. Early postoperative complications included three cervical ileoesophageal anastomotic leaks, which healed spontaneously. One patient had gastrointestinal bleeding 10 years postoperatively. This was controlled by antacid therapy without recurrence. Redundancy of the interpositioned ileocolic segment was observed in three children. All 11 surviving patients can eat a normal diet and have normal growth and development.

From 1981 to 1991, 146 infants under 1 month of age underwent repair of aortic coarctation. Forty-two had isolated coarctation, 53 had associated ventricular septal defect, and 51 had complex cardiac defects. The principal mode of presentation was congestive heart failure. The mean age at operation was 10.6 days. The technique for repair was left subclavian artery flap angioplasty in 126, resection with end-to-end anastomosis in 14, and a variety of repairs in 6 patients. Concomitant pulmonary artery banding was performed in 62 patients. The overall hospital mortality rate was 11%, and there was a strong association with pre-existing renal failure. The mean aortic clamp time in survivors was 23.9 minutes; mean hospital stay was 13.4 days. Significant restenosis occurred in 16 patients (11%) with an incidence of 10% after subclavian artery flap angioplasty. Eleven patients have undergone reoperation, and 5 were managed successfully with balloon dilatation.

Mediastinal masses in children constitute a heterogeneous group of malignant and benign neoplasms. The majority of malignant tumors in our series of 188 children with a mediastinal mass were Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (87 patients) arising in the anterior and middle mediastinum. Ganglioneuroma (17) arising in the posterior mediastinum made up the bulk of benign tumors (52). Infants less than 2 yr old presented with symptoms of tracheal compression, whereas older children had fewer symptoms but a far greater likelihood of having a malignancy. In the assessment of patients with mediastinal tumors, the posteroanterior and lateral chest roentgenograms were most often diagnostic, and computed tomography of the chest provided the most information concerning preoperative resectability. The excellent survival of patients with stage I and II Hodgkin's disease reflects the radiosensitivity of the tumor; in our series of 33 patients, survival was not increased by radical resection. Unlike lymphomatous tumors, neurogenic masses should be completely excised. When initial exploration reveals unresectability, biopsy followed by radiation therapy and second-look excision of the tumor can be accomplished. In patients with primary mediastinal sarcomas, total resection should be carried out if possible. In our series, adjuvant radiation therapy or chemotherapy was effective in only 1 of 15 children with sarcoma. Surgical treatment of all mediastinal masses except lymphoma should be complete excision. In cases of suspected lymphoma, cervical or supraclavicular node biopsy can yield adequate tissue for diagnosis.

During a 6-yr period, 57 children and young adults less than 21 yr of age underwent 111 thoracotomies for pulmonary metastatic osteogenic sarcoma. Follow-up after the initial thoracotomy averaged 36.8 no and ranged from 1 to 78 mo. Twenty-eight patients (49%) underwent more than one thoracotomy--the number of multiple thoracotomies averaged 2.9 and ranged from two to eight. Twenty-six of the 57 patients are currently alive, and 25 of these are free of disease. Median survival was 36 mo. Actuarial survival curves demonstrated a 5-yr survival of approximately 40%. Seventy-one percent of patients who had a tumor-free interval of greater than 1 yr are currently alive, compared with 39% of patients who had a tumor-free interval of less than 1 yr. Patients with disease confined to one lobe at the initial thoracotomy had a better survival (64%) than patients with diffuse or bilateral disease (41%). An aggressive surgical approach toward osteogenic sarcoma with pulmonary metastasis thus appears to be justified.

A child, 2 years old, male suffering from severe jaundice, melena, severe anemia and right upper abdominal mass was admitted into our hospital. Diagnosis of obstructive jaundice was made before operation. On exploration, a tumor mass was found in the pancreatic head, which involved the duodenum and distal common bile duct. Pancreaticoduodenectomy with one stage pancreaticojejunostomy, choledochojejunostomy and gastrojejunostomy was carried out. Postoperative pathology showed adenocarcinoma of the distal common bile duct invading the periampullary tissues of the duodenum and infiltrating, to a lesser extent, into the pancreatic head. Carcinoma arising from the distal common bile duct is rare in infancy and childhood. Radical resection should be attempted if possible. In general, the prognosis is poor in this tumor. No complication after operation occurred on this patient but close follow-up is necessary. Pathology related to this tumor is discussed with a review of literature.

Healing of the inner wall of the same preclotted knitted Dacron arterial prostheses was compared in the descending thoracic aorta (DTA) and the abdominal aorta (AA) of the same dog. Each of 16 dogs received this dual implantation with study periods of 4 weeks for five dogs, 8 weeks for five dogs, and 16 weeks for six dogs. Healing was studied with light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and immunocytochemistry identification. The outer capsule was firmly adherent to the Dacron framework of all grafts implanted in the DTA; advanced healing of the inner wall of all thoracic grafts was present by 4 weeks, nearly complete healing by 8 weeks, and complete healing by 16 weeks. In contrast, the outer capsule was either not attached or only loosely adherent to the Dacron framework in eight AA grafts (50%), and in these implants no healing of the inner wall occurred beyond the limited perianastomotic pannus zone. In the other eight implants in which the outer capsule was firmly adherent to the Dacron framework, healing was roughly comparable to that in the grafts implanted in the DTA. This study demonstrated that (1) DTA grafts heal faster and more completely than AA grafts, (2) healing and endothelialization are related to the tightness of the outer capsule, (3) there is a high incidence of loose tissue attachment in the AA, and (4) healing of aortic grafts is site specific.
