Conclusion More attention should be paid to adverse events caused by tigecycline.

Objective To explore the influential factors of dangerous placenta previa pathogenesis,and to analyze their peri natal period outcomes.Methods The clinical data in 143 pregnant women and parturients of dangerous placenta previa(research group) and 286 pregnant women and parturients of non-dangerous placenta previa(control group) in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The average age of the research group was higher than that of the control group (t =2.92,P =0.004);the previous pregnancy frequency,previous parity,previous abortion frequency,previous cesarean delivery frequency and incidence of placenta previa in the research group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.01);the incidence of placenta previa in the research group was higher than that in the control group(x2 =7.60,P=0.006);the prenatal gestational weeks of the research group were lower than those of the control group(t=-12.33,P＜0.01).The multi-factor analysis showed that the age,previous abortion frequency and previous cesarean delivery frequency were the influence factors of placenta previa occurrence.Among them,the previous cesarean delivery frequency was the main risk factor.The occurrence rates of antepartum hemorrhage,postpartum hemorrhage,uterine removal and premature infants in the research group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.01);The intraoperative blood loss of the research group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05);the neonatal birth weight and the 1 min Apgar score of the research group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The age,previous abortion frequency and previous cesarean section frequency are related to the occurrence of dangerous placenta previa.

Objective　To study the experience in prevention and treatment of iatrogenic bile duct trauma(IBDT). Methods　A retrospective study was made on the clinical data of 118 patients with iatrogenic bile　 duct trauma admitted to the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from March 1990 to September 2000. Results　50.8%　(60/118) of patients with IBDT resulted from the wrong identification of the anatomy of the Calot' Triangle during cholecystectomy. The clinical diagnosis of IBDT depended on the clinical findings, diagnostic abdominocentesis and image examination. The diagnostic rate of ultrasonography for IBDT was 93.2%(110/118). According to the injury site of bile duct, IBDT could be divided into 6 types, the most common type of　 IBDT was resection of partical hepatic duct and part common bile duct(type Ⅲ) which occurred in 83.9%　(99/118) of the patients. The cure rate of IBCT was 100%(118/118) in this series due to the choice of operation according to the trauma type. Conclusions　The key of prevention to IBDT lies in abiding by the princible of “identifying-cut-recognazing” during cholecystectomy. The choice for surgical operative procedure should agree with the trauma type.

Objective To screen a kind of microorganism which is low poisonous for living creature but has high molluscicidal effect. Methods The Xanthobacter autotrophicus from the soil where Oncomelania hupensis lived were detached, then its molluscicidal effect against the snails were studied by the immersing and contacting methods, respectively. Results The death rates were 1.3%-95.0% immersed for 24 to 72 hours in the different density liquids (1?106,2?106,3?106,4?106 cfu/ml). The LD_~50 immersed for 48 hours was 2.6?106 cfu/ml. The death rates had obviously positive relationship with the immersing time and the density of the liquid. Conclusion The liquid which contains more than 106 cfu/ml Xanthobacter autotrophicus has a stable molluscicidal capacity, and the immersing method is better than the contacting method.[

Objective To examine the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum on local pancreas pathological changes,serum levels of amylase,IL-1,IL-6,and the positive rate of dissolubility adhesion molecule (CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18) expression in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Fifty healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:CO2 pneumoperitoneum group (n=20):SAP was induced by injecting 5% sodium taurocholate through retrogradely common biliopancreatic ducts via duodenal papilla,and then CO2 pneumoperitoneum was established at a pressure of 12 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) for 30 min; SAP group (n=20):The rats were treated as same as CO2 pneumoperitoneum group,except CO2 pneumoperitoneum; Simple operation group (n=10):Laparotomy was performed and nothing was done to duodenum and pancreas except for moving them softly. The blood samples were collected for examining serum levels of amylase,IL-1,IL-6,and the positive rates of CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18 expression,and histopathologic examination of pancreas was performed. Results Compared with simple operation group,the pancreatic pathologic histology score,serum levels of amylase,IL-1,IL-6,and the positive rates of CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18 expression were significantly higher in CO2 pneumoperitoneum group and SAP group (P=0.000). The levels of IL-1 and IL-6 were significantly lower in CO2 pneumoperitoneum group as compared to SAP group (P=0.000). There was no significant difference between CO2 pneumoperitoneum group and SAP group in pancreatic pathologic histology score (P=0.294),the level of serum amylase (P=0.073),the positive rates of CD11a/CD18 (P=0.155) and CD11b/CD18 expression (P=0.201). Conclusion CO2 pneumoperitoneum has inhibitory effect on the levels of IL-1 and IL-6,rather than the positive rates of CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18 expression in SD rats with SAP.
