The aim of this study was to learn the current situation of surgical massive transfusion of death and survival groups in China, which could provide the basis for the formulation of guidelines on massive transfusion. ⋯ During massive transfusion, clinicians in 20 Chinese hospitals paid more attention to the infusion of fresh frozen plasma while making the infusion of red blood cells. However, they paid little attention to the supplement of platelet and cryocepitate. The average quantity of plasma and platelet in survival group were also higher than those in death group.

To study the lung protective effects of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression and sevoflurane preconditioning in patients with lobectomy. ⋯ Sevoflurane preconditioning can reduce oxidative stress injury induced by OLV and protect lung tissue by increasing HO-1 expression in lung tissue.

There has been a large series in the literature reporting on results of osteotomy for the correction of kyphotic deformity secondary to post-traumatic thoracolumbar fracture. However, there are few reports on using intraoperative, full rotation, three dimensional image (O-arm)-based navigation, transpedicular wedge osteotomy for the correction of kyphotic deformity in old thoracolumbar fracture. A 45-year-old woman with L1 old fracture, presented to us with a Cobb angle of 45 degrees. ⋯ The location, angle and depth of osteotomy, as well as screw fixation were performed using a guide tube while referring to the reconstructed 3D-anatomical views. The surgery was successful without nervous and vascular injuries. Using intraoperative, full rotation, three dimensional image (O-arm)-based navigation, the transpedicular wedge osteotomy is a safe and effective treatment for kyphosis after the thoracolumbar fracture, which can insert the pedicular screw accurately, trace the real-time wedge osteotomy and reduce the loss of correction of kyphotic deformity.

To determine the pathogenesis and characteristics and to assess the long-term effectiveness of polymethylmethacry late (PMMA) vertebroplasty treatment in patients with intravertebral cleft (IVC) in osteoporotic compression fractures. ⋯ Polymethylmethacrylate vertebroplasty treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures is initially effective for patients with signs of IVC, but compression and kyphosis gradually reoccur. Therefore, we strongly recommend strict observation and follow-up after vertebroplasty.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor C (MrgC) agonist bovine adrenal medulla 8-22 (BAM8-22) on bone cancer pain and mirror-image pain. ⋯ MrgC agonist BAM8-22 could attenuate bone cancer pain in mice. This study may provide a novel strategy for the treatment of bone cancer pain.
