Objective:The causes, management, and prevention of complications in laparoscopic gyneco-logic surgery were investigated. Methods:A retrospective analysis was done based on clinical data of 8279 cases of laparoscopic gynecologic surgery from January 1996 to December 2008 in this hospital. Results:The complication rate was 0.88% (73/8279). These included five cases intraperitoneal bleeding, five cases injury of ureter, 20 cases abdominal vessel damage, 10 cases vulva emphysema, 25 cases wound healing delay and each one case respectively for stomach injury, bladder injury, secondary abdominal cavity preg-nancy,infection and incision hernia. The occurrence rates of complications between hysteroscopy combined with laparoscopic surgery and pure adnexal surgery were no difference( P >0.05). Compared to adnexal op-erations, there was a significantly higher complication rate in myomectomy and laparoscopic assistant vaginal hysterectomy (P < 0.01 ). Conclusions:Complications of laparoscopic gynecologic surgery are correlated with the difficulty of operation and the skillfulness of operators. In order to reduce complications, careful oper-ation and avoiding over self -confidence are essential.

[Objective]To investigate the expression and the clinical significance of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)in the serum and lung tissues of the patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).[Methods]Eighty-eight eligible inpatients were confirmed by pathology of lung tissues ,including 66 patients with NSCLC and 22 patients with benign lung lesions. ELISA was performed to measure serum concentration of MIF of these patients ,which was compared with 30 healthy individuals. Meanwhile,immunohistochemistry(IHC)was performed to examine the expression of MIF in the lung tissues of the two groups. MIF expression level was compared between two groups and among different subgroups of NSCLC. The correlationship between serum MIF level and high expression rate in lung tissues was also analyzed. All the data were analyzed by SPSS17.0.[Results]The serum concentration of MIF in NSCLC group was significantly higher than that in healthy control(14.79 ng/mL vs 10.69 ng/mL,P=0.001), and was slightly higher but not significantly different from benign lung lesions group(14.79 ng/mL vs 13.68 ng/mL,P=0.580). The comparison among subgroups of NSCLC showed that the serum MIF level was not only correlated with the histological grade and clini?cal stage of the cancer,but also correlated with the gender and smoking history of the host. Immunohistochemistry showed that the MIF high expression rate in the lung tissues of NSCLC was markedly higher than that of benign lung lesions group(30.3%vs 4.5%, P=0.014). Among the subgroups of NSCLC,IHC showed MIF high expression rate was correlated with the histopathologic types and clinical stage of the cancer. Simultaneously ,the serum MIF level showed a positive correlation with MIF expression rate in the lung tissues in all patients and NSCLC group(P<0.05).[Conclusion]MIF was strongly related to the clinicopathological characteristics of NSCLC. It could be helpful for the diagnosis and clinical evaluation of NSCLC.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the hearing characteristics in patient with posterior circulation transient ischemic attack (PCTIA).
METHOD:
Sixty-two patients diagnosed by neurologist were selected as experimental group for testing of pure tone audiometry, tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR). Thirty healthy subjects were chosen as control group. The data were compared between the PCTIA groups and the control group using the SPSS 14.0 software.
RESULT:
(1) The difference in pure tone threshold across 125 to 8000 Hz between the PCTIA group and the control group was not statistically significant (P>0.05); (2) In PCTIA patients, the prevalence of TEOAE was only 42.7%, significantly different from the control group; (3) The patients had longer ABR latency and wave interval than the normal controls (P<0.01).
CONCLUSION
Brain-stem and cochlear damage can occur in patients with PCTIA. These results suggest that OAE and ABR be used as important diagnostic test for patients with PCTIA, and might be helpful in localizing abnormality in PCTIA.
