Objective To analyze the outcome of patients with acute obstruction of left colorectal cancer treated by modified antegrade colonic lavage with primary tumor resection and anastomosis.Methods From April 2002 to April 2007,112 patients with acute obstruction of left colorectal cancer underwent surgery.During the operation the left colon was exteriorized and placed into a sterilized plastic bag to protect the surgical field from contamination,then a catheter was inserted via the appendix,and after antegrade colonic lavage,primary resection and anastomosis was performed.Results Tumor resection and primary anastomosis was successfully done in the 112 cases.Postoperatively,1 case had anastomotic leak which healed after reoperation with proximal colostomy,and one patient died.Conclusions Modified antegrade colonic lavage is a simple procedure,the bowel can be rapidly decompressed with essentially no contamination,and has a high level of bowel cleansing.It is possible to safely perform primary resection and anastomosis for left colon cancer after the modified antegrade lavage.

Objective To systematically evaluate the study of animal surgery course among medical students with different majors and languages so as to provide evidences for further improve-ment education quality. Methods Ten majors and two kinds of international medical students (in total of 1 105 students;2009 grade)of Southern Medical University were subdivided into five groups ac-cording to the relationship with clinical operative manipulation. Quality of experimental animal surgery education was tested respectively. Then SPSS 13.0 was used to statistically evaluate and analyze the data. Measurement data between two groups were compared by t-test,multi-group analysis of variance between groups was conducted using one-way ANOVA. Ranked data between groups were compared using non-parametric Mann-Whitney U rank sum test. Merits and demerits of the curriculum were dis-cussed by combing statistical results with in-class condition to provide evidences for further improve-ment. Results There was no significant difference between clinical group and clinical professional group in aseptic technique and operation skills (P=0.739),but scores of the two groups were signifi-cant higher than that of associate group (P=0.004). Moreover,scores of international students who passed Chinese TOEFL were significant higher than the others (P=0.001). Differences between groups existed predominantly in the animal surgical practice rather than in basic theory or knot and sterilized methods. Conclusions For students with different majors and languages,different teaching key points should be paid attention to. Basic surgery techniques might be emphasized on for students with associ-ate clinical major and foreign students with poor Chinese language.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and clinic symptoms of an outbreak of infectious diarrhea caused by Sapovirus,in CT community,Zhaoqing,Guangdong province.Methods Retrospective study of field epidemiology investigation was carried out and Chi-square test was used enteroviruses were detected by RT-PCR in swab,fecal specimens and water samples.Results A total of 422 cases were identified in this outbreak,with the prevalence as 11.95％.Cases mainly concentrated between 21 and 24,December,with curves noticed by pointsource and peaked on the 22nd.Symptoms mainly appeared as vomiting,with watery stool.Patients were founded in every village,with the highest prevalence appeared in the elderly (25.20％) but involved in every age group.Sapovirus infection was most frequently seen in the population under 25 years of age,with overall prevalence as 16.41％.People older than 50 years of age took the second place (12.05％),and the lowest was seen between 25 to 49 years age group (8.42％).Sapovirus was detected in both swab and fecal specimens,with the positive rate as 38.78％.Both general and heatresistant coliformed-bacteria were detected in the 24 monitored water samples,with the qualification rates as 95.83％,45.83％ and 50.00％,respectively.However,Sapovirus was not detected in any of the water samples.Conclusions Our findings confirmed that an outbreak,caused by sapovirus infection in CT community was most likely related to the central water supply.The surveillance system for infectious diarrheal diseases should be improved and both public health awareness and surveillance programs on drinking water should be strengthened.
