Methods: Retrospectively analyzed the 405 cases of biliary tract septic shock treated since July 1981 to May 1999 in the authors' hospital. Results: 302 cases underwent operation, 267 patients were cured, 35 patients were dead, mortality was 11. 6%; 103 cases were treated conservatively, 61 patients were cured, mortality was 40.8%. Operation results in better effect than conservative treatment (P

Objective To study the gastroscopic and pathohistologic mucosal changes in children′s chronic gastritis and to improve the diagnosis of the chronic gastritis in children.Methods Two thousand four hundred and forty children with upper-abdominal symptoms who were examined by gastroscopic observation were collected,and samples of gastric mucosa were examined by the same pathohistologist.And then the pathohistologic changes were analysed.Results All the 2440 children had different mucosal inflammation confirmed by gastroscope,and the pathologic results show that there were 2132 cases of chronic superficial gastritis(90.03%) and 76 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis(3.21%).Among 2440 cases,80 cases with intestinal metaplasia(3.37%),972 cases with lymphoid follicles(41.05%),409 cases with active inflammation(17.28%),902 cases with helicobacter pylori(Hp) infection(38.09%).Moderate and severe inflammatory were more predominant in patients with Hp infection,especially with lymphoid follicles or active gastritis,and the percentage of them were 50.79%,68.73%,73.53%,respectively.Conclusions Major chornic gastritis in children are chronic superficial gastritis,and the pathohistological changes are different from the adults.It also shows that there is a close relationship between gastric mucosal inflammation and Hp.

Objective We tried to explore the effects of organ donation intervention on organ donation knowledge,attitude and willingness of community residents and analyze its promotive factors,thereby to provide valuable basis to increase organ donation rate.Methods 354 community residents in Hengyang city of Hunan province were randomly collected and received organ donation intervention.The scores of organ donation knowledge,attitude and willingness,living organ (bone marrow and kidney) donation willingness rate,and supporting relative organ donation status were compared before and after intervention.We also investigated the factors that could enhance organ donation.Results In comparison with before intervention,organ donation knowledge and willingness scores(t value was 4.46 and 5.13),bone marrow donation willingness rate (x2 value was 9.27) and supporting relative organ donation proportion(x2 value was 10.74) were increased,but organ donation attitude score was decreased in community residents.However,organ donation intervention had no effect on kidney donation willingness rate.Community residents recognized that economic compensation (43.68％),organ distributing fair (23.85％) and consummate organ donation regime (11.21％) were the most important to facilitate organ donation.Conclusions Organ donaton intervention can notably improve organ donation knowledge,attitude and willingness of community residents.Moreover,giving determinate economic compensation,ensuring organ distributing fair and ameliorating organ donation regime may play key roles in relieving current organ shortage crisis.

Objective To investigate the change of renal 1-alpha hydroxylase and its effect on bone mineral density in the old rats with type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Methods Forty Wistar rats of 18 months old were randomly divided into normal control (N), diabetes (D), diabetes treated with vitamin D_ 3 (T1) and diabetes treated with 1-?(OH)D_ 3 (T2) groups, respectively. Ten rats in each group. Dual energy X-ray absorption (DEXA) was used to determine bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spines and femoral bone. 24 h urinary protein excretion, serum 25(OH)D_ 3 and 1,25(OH)_ 2 D_ 3 were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results Compared with controls, 24 h urinary protein excretion increased remarkably D, T1, T2 groups, while BMD greatly decreased, much lower in D group and T1 group than T2 group (P0.05). The level of 1,25(OH)_ 2 D_ 3 in N group was the same to T2 group, but higher than D, T1 groups (P

Objective To investigate the causes of acute intestinal obstruction aquired operation and to summer our diagnostic and therapeutic experience.Method Retrospective study was undertaken.Results Operations were performed on total 69 patients with acute intenstinal obstruction without perioperative death.Most common causes were malignant tumors 23 (33%), adhension 17(25%).The diagnosis mainly depend on typical history, physical examination and plain abdominal radiographs(in 90% patients) while sonography and CT were helpful in 30% patients. Laparotomy was performed on 56 cases after failure of conservative therapy including traditional medicine. Main operations included enterolysis in 18 cases, enterectomy in 14, colonstomy in 9, colonectomy in 13, enterolithotomy in 6.Conclusion Among numerous causes of acute intenstinal obstruction, malignant tumors and adhensions appear to be the most common initial diseases. Typical data from history, physical examination and plain abdominal radiographs are keys to diagnosis and treatment of acute intenstinal obstruction. CT and Sonography are valuable diagnostic procedures in some patients. Active laparotomy and appropriate operation should be considered if conservative therapy has not succeed.

Objective: Our purpose was to study the predictive factors of interferon(IFN) therapeutic effectiveness. Methods:Genotypes of HCV, HCV RNA quantities, β2 microglobulin, 2′- 5′oligoadenylate synthetase, and peripheral blood lymohocyte subgroup were detected by using specific primer PCR assay, energy transference technique of signal primer, sheet chromatography, radioimmunoassay, and APAAP immunoenzyme bridge technique respectively in 20 blood samples of patients with chronic hepatitis C. Results:(1)The patients who had lower level of HCV RNA before treatment and had continuing decreased HCV RNA level after treatment had good response to IFN treatment in follow-up survey. (2)The patients with HCV-Ⅲ type had complete response much more than those with HCV-Ⅱ type (P＜0.05).(3)The patients with lower level of 2′- 5′oligoadenylate synthetase before treatment might have good response to IFN treatment. (4) There was no significant change in β2 microglobulin level before and after treatment and in different response groups before treatment.(5) The CD+3, CD+4, and CD+4/CD+8 in peripheral blood increased after treatment. The patients in complete response group had higher level CD+3, CD+4, and CD+4/CD+8 than those in part response and non-response groups, but there was no significance in statisitcs. Conclusion:The HCV RNA quantities, HCV genotypes, 2′- 5′oligoadenylate synthetase level before treatment were predictive factors of IFN therapeutic effectiveness. The changes of HCV RNA level in treatment and follow-up survey had important significance in therapeutic evaluation, β2 microglobulin level, and lymphocyte subgroup before treatment were not used as predictive factors for IFN therapeutic effectiveness.
