Objective To assess the value of outer thimble of epidural anesthesia needle in laparoscopic high ligation for indirect inguinal hernia in children.Methods From April 2003 to May 2006,outer thimble of epidural anesthesia needle,instead of sledge-like hook needle,was utilized in 230 cases during laparoscopic high ligation for indirect inguinal hernia in chilren.Results All the operations on 230 patients were successfully performed.The operation time was 8-10 minutes in 161 patients with unilateral hernia,15-20 minutes in 39 patients with incarcerated hernia,16-20 minutes in 30 patients with bilateral hernia.Edema of scrotum,testis pain and ischemia were not found after operation.Follow-up for 2-6 months in 111 cases,6-12 months in 52 cases,12-24 months in 37 cases,24-36 months in 30 cases showed no recurrence.Conclusions Outer thimble of epidural anesthesia needle can be substituted for sledge-like hook needle in children hernia high ligation,with the advantages of simple procedure and economy.

Objective To compare the treatment effect of laparoscopic appendectomy(LA) and open appendectomy (OA). Methods One hundred and forty-five cases of LA performed from May 2003 to May 2005, and 142 cases of OA performed from June 2001 to March 2003 were studied retrospectively. Results There was no difference in operative time between group LA and group OA. In the procedure of LA, some occult disease could be discovered and treated, while OA was not. The administration of analgesic, activity time, incidence of incision infection and hospital stay in group LA were better than those of OA group. While the cost of hospitalization in LA was higher than that of OA. Conclusion LA has significant advantages in treating appendicitis and it should be promoted.

Objective To study clinical effect after laparoscopic abdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair methodwithout stapler. Methods 80 cases of inguinal hernia(hospitalized from February 2015 to January 2017)were divided into two groups according to the random number table method ,with 40 patients in each group. Traditional laparoscopic peritoneal inguinal hernia repair method was applied in the control group. Free stapler group received free stapler laparoscopic preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair treatment method. Operation time , amount of bleeding during surgery , the average hospitalization time after operation , the total cost of hospitalization,postoperative pain score,postoperative recovery activities time,patients′satisfaction,operation effusion after operation occurred scrotal hematoma and other complications were comparedbetween the two groups of patients. Results In free stapler group,patients′ satisfaction rate was significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05). Area of effusion,scrotal hematoma and other complications infree stapler group after surgery were significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05). Total cost of hospitalization,postoperative pain score, postoperative recovery time activities in free stapler group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Operation time,bleeding amount during the operation,average hospitalization time difference between the two groups were not statistically significant(P > 0.05). Conclusion Operation time and amount of bleeding were similar between traditional laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair method and free stapler in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair.Clinical effect of free stapler in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair proves to be effective with less complications ,less pain, faster postoperative recovery, and can reduce the cost of treatment.Free stapler in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair has satisfactory cosmetic results and was well received by patients,worthy of promotion.

Objective The objectives of this study were to investigate the expression of Aurora-A pro-tein in cervical cancer and precancerous lesions,and its relationship with human papilloma virus( HPV) infection, and to analyze the role of Aurora-A in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. Methods One hundred cases of cer-vical biopsy or surgical resection specimens were collected from high-risk HPV( HR-HPV) test. There were 20 cases of normal cervical tissues,20 cases of CIN grade 1 ( CIN1 ) ,20 cases of CIN grade 2 ( CIN2 ) ,20 cases of CIN grade 3(CIN3),and 20 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. The expression of Aurora-A protein was detected by immunohistochemistry and the correlation between Aurora-A expression and HR -HPV infection was analyzed. Results Aurora-A was highly expressed in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer (P<0. 05),and its positive expression rate increased with the degree of cervical lesions. There was a positive correlation between Aurora-A expression and cervical cancer(r=0. 475,P<0. 001). There was a positive cor-relation between Aurora-A expression and HR-HPV infection in CIN2 and CIN3(V=0. 591,P<0. 05). Con-clusion Aurora-A may be associated with the development of cervical cancer. Aurora-A can be used as an important biomarker for the early diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or cervical cancer. It is also a po-tential therapeutic target for cervical cancer.
