Objective To investigate the technique and instrument improvement of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy with T-tube drainage. Methods A total of 42 cases of gall stones complicated with common bile duct stones entered the study. During the operation, we exposed the common bile duct before the removal of the gall bladder, opened the common bile duct by a self-made bile duct scalpel, removed the stones by open instruments laparoscopically, and performed choledochofiberscopic examinations and T-tube drainages. Results All the 42 operations were successfully accomplished without the conversion to open surgery. The operation time (exclusive of that of LC) was 80~180 min (mean, 96 min). All the patients got out of bed and received liquids within 24 hours after the surgery. The postoperative hospital stay was 5~9 days (mean, 6 days). The T-tube was removed 3 weeks after the operation in the absence of residual stones or stenosis of bile duct under T-tube choledochography. Follow-up for 6~48 months (mean, 23 months) in 38 cases found no recurrence of stones or biliary tract symptoms. Conclusions The modified laparoscopic choledocholithotomy with T-tube drainage, which shortens the operation time, is an effective and safe method for the treatment of common bile duct stones.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the pathogenic distribution and antimicrobial resistance in respiratory ward and provide the rational information to use antibiotics reasonably. METHODS All pathogens isolated from patients in a respiratory ward from 2005 to 2007 and drug susceptibility results were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Totally 264 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated,in which 68 strains of Gram-positive bacteria,165 strains of Gram-negative bacteria and 31 strains of fungi.MRSA prevalence was 77.1% and showed a trend of increase.No vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or Enterococcus was detected.The resistance rate of Streptoccocus pneumoniae to penicillin,erythromycin and levofloxacin was 44.4-66.7%.Enterobacter and Acinetobacter baumannii showed stable susceptibility to imipenem.Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were relatively susceptible to cefoperazone /sulbactam,amikacin,gentamicin,piperacillin/tazobactam,ceftazidine,cefepime,cefoperazone and imipenem. CONCLUSIONS The changes in pathogens and antibiotic resistance in the respiratory ward are consistent with the surveillance data in this country,Gram-negative bacteria are still the most common pathogens and the serious degree of bacterial drug resistance is increasing.Our data are useful for the guidance of rational use of antibiotics.

Objective To investigate the chnical effect of modified transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) on the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease. Methods Sixty-two patients with lumbar degenerative disease were treated by the modified TLIF from June 2007 to May 2009. The preoperative diagnosis was lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with spinal instability (28 cases), lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with lumbar stenosis (27 cases ), degenerative spondylohsthesis (7 cases ). Forty-eight cases were single-level and 14 cases were two-level. The patients were evaluated by observing the fusion rate and comparing the visual analog score( VAS ) and Japanese orthopaedics association (JOA) score of preoperation with those of postoperation. Results All the patients were followed up from 15 to 30 (22.77 ± 3.82)months,no nerve injury,leakage of cerebralspinal,infection,the broken of pedical screws and other complications. The fusion rate of segment was 96.8% at the follow-up after 1 year postoperatively. Judgement by JOA score,the rate of improvement was 93.5%(58/62),excellent in 34 cases,good in 24 cases,fair in 4 cases. The postoperative value of V AS and JOA score were higher than those of preoperation (P < 0.05 ), the values when follow-up of 3 months was performed had no statistic al difference with those of final follow-up (P>0.05). Conclusion The modified TLIF with fully decompression while reducing the accessing spinal canal complications have good clinical efficacy in treating lumbar degenerative disease.
