Objective To investigate the clinical value of hand-sewn ileal pouch anal anastomosis (HIPAA) for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.Methods The clinical data of 191 patients with ulcerative colitis who were admitted to the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January 1989 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received proctocolectomy and open or laparoscopic HIPAA.Patients were followed up by questionnaire at postoperative month 3 and 12.The function of pouch was evaluated according to the defecation frequency per 24 hours and per night,Bristol scale stool form and Kirwan classification.The quality of life was assessed according to the Cleveland global quality of life (CGQL).Patients were followed up till April 2014.The independent samples were compared by t test,and data from multiple groups were compared by analysis of variance,pairwise comparison was done by LSD-t test,and the count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results Of the 191 patients,180 received open surgery and 11 received laparoscopic surgery.Nine patients were treated by one-stage surgery,175 by two-stage surgery and 7 by three-stage surgery.The pouches of 181 patients were J shape,9 were H shape and 1 was W shape.No patient died perioperatively.Eight patients had abdominal infection and 7 had incisional infection at early period after the operation,and they were cured by antibiotics.Four patients had pouch anastomotic bleeding and 4 had anastomotic leakage at postoperative week 1-2,and they were cured by local hemostasis or titanium clipping.Six patients had high intestinal obstruction,and they were alleviated by symptomatic treatment.Eight patients had inflammation of pouch,and they were alleviated by diet adjustment or antibiotics treatment.Two patients had sexual dysfunction.All the patients were followed up for 1-25 years.The function of the pouch was improved gradually.At postoperative month 12,the defecation frequencies were (3.7 ± 1.4)/24 hours and (1.3 ±0.5)/night,and the number of patients with type Ⅳ (Bristol classification),type Ⅴ,type Ⅵ and in grade Ⅰ (Kirwan classification),grade Ⅱ,grade Ⅲ were 107,76,8 and 177,8,6,respectively,which were significantly improved when compared with (6.5 ±2.8)/24 hours,(2.9 ± 1.5)/night,86,89,16 and 160,19,12 at postoperative month 3 (t =12.36,3.98,x2=7.76,29.27,P＜ 0.05).The CGQL indexes before operation and at postoperative month 3 and 12 were 0.37 ±0.19,0.67 ±0.16 and 0.82 ±0.13,respectively,with significant differences (F =6.011,P ＜0.05).There were significant differences between the CGQL indexes before operation and at postoperative 12 and 3 months (t =16.69,10.06,P ＜ 0.05).A significant difference was also observed between the CGQL indexes before operation and at postoperative 12 months (t =27.01,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions HIPAA is suitable for the surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis.The function of the pouch is good and the quality of life is improved.

Background Dry eye is a common disease worldwide.Cyclosporine A(CsA) is provided to be a immunosuppressive agent and is effective on dry eye.But in China,0.05％ CsA is not yet applied in dry eye treatment.Objective This study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 0.05％ CsA eye drops in the treatment of dry eye.Methods This was a randomized,double-blind,vehicle-controlled parallel group study.Forty eyes of 40 patients with moderate to severe dry eye were randomly divided into two groups,with the corresponding treatment of 0.05％ CsA eye drops or the vehicle emulsion.The patients in both the groups received non-preserved artificial tear.Symptoms and signs were observed before administration,(7±1),(28±2),(56±3),and (84±3) days and also 14 days after withdrawal.The clinical effective rate was considered as the primary outcome.The subjective assessment of the patients including total symptom scores and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) scores,Schirmer Ⅰ test (S Ⅰ t) with topical anaesthesia,tear film breakup time (BUT),rose Bengal and fluorescein staining scores were evaluated.The safety profile was evaluated by adverse events,visual acuity and ocular tolerance.Results At the end of this trial,the ocular symptoms scores,conjunctival hyperemia,BUT,S Ⅰ t and keratoconjunctiva staining scores of the two groups had statistically significant difference.The total effective rate of 0.05％ CsA treatment group was 75％ (15/20) and vehicle group was 25％ (5/20).There was a statistically significant difference between groups (P =0.000),and the 95％ confidence interval (C1) of the difference value of total effectiveness between the two groups was 30.80％-53.75％.At the end of this trial,there was no statistically significant difference in visual acuity distribution (P =0.890).No obvious discomfort was found in the patients received 0.05％ CsA eye drops.There were no adverse events during the follow-up duration.Conclusions 0.05％ CsA ophthalmic emulsion is an effective and safe treatment for dry eyes.

Objective To assess the value of endorectal elastography in the diagnosis of malignant rectal adenoma. Methods Sixty patients referred to the department of basic surgery of Peking Union Medical College Hospital for the evaluation of rectal adenoma from January 2011 to May 2013 were included in this prospective cohort. All patients underwent elasticity score (ES) and strain ratio(SR) examine before operation. To evaluate the reproducibility of the strain-ratio measurements, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated. Compared with final operational pathological results,the diagnostic values of elasticity score and strain ratio method were assessed. Results Histopathological result showed there were 20 adenomas and 40 adenocarcinomas. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of ERUS was 68%(27/40), 40%(8/20), 58%(35/60), 69%(27/39), 38%(8/21), respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of elasticity score was 85%(34/40), 70%(14/20), 80%(48/60), 85%(34/40), 70%(14/20), respectively. The SR of adenocarcinomas was significantly higher than that of adenomas(2.82±1.81 vs 1.23±0.57, t=3.333, P < 0.05). The differences among the SR of benign adenoma, benign adenoma with severe atypical hyperplasia and completely malignant lesions were statistically significant (1.26±0.84 vs 2.94±1.95, 1.42±0.55 vs 2.94±1.95, t=2.619, 2.415, P=0.013, 0.021). When 1.240 was chosen as the best cut-off value of SR, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of strain ratio was 82%(33/40), 75%(15/20), 80%(48/60), 87%(33/38), 68%(15/22), respectively. Conclusion Endorectal elasotgraphy can accurately diagnose the malignant rectal adenoma, which can provide reliable preoperative imaging evidence for clinical operation mode.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of preoperative regional intra-arterial chemoembolization combined with systemic vein chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer.Methods The clinical data of 78 locally advanced gastric cancer patients treated by radical D2 gastretomy from January 2010 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were devided into treatment group receiving regional intra-arterial chemoembolization combined with systemic vein chemotherapy (n =36),and those with preoperative systemic vein chemotherapy (n =42) 3 to 4 weeks before surgery.Systemic chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6 was started after 5 weeks of surgery in the two groups.Results The incidence of toxicity reaction and postoperative anastomotic leakage were lower in treatment group than in control group,all P ＜ 0.05.The 1-year recurrence and overall survival rate were similar between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).The 3-year liver metastasis rate was higher in treatment group than in control group (x2 =4.063,P ＜ 0.05).The 3-year survival rate was higher than that of the control group(x2 =4.396,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Preoperative systemic vein chemotherapy combined with regional intra-arterial chemoembolization decreases toxicity reaction,anastomotic leakage and liver metastasis,while prolonging 3-year overall survival.

Objective To investigate the application of venereal disease research laboratory(VDRL) test and toluidine red unheated serum test(TRUST) in syphilis laboratory diagnosis.Methods Serum,plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in syphilis patients and healthy controls were measured by VDRL and TRUST.Results The VDRL detection results in serum and CSF sepcimens were generally higher than the TRUST detection results by 1-2 titers,while in plasma specimen,the VDRL detection results were generally lower than the TRUST detection results by 1-2 titers than TRUST when using plasma specimen.In addition,the VDRL detection in normal control serum and plasma specimens all appeared different degrees of false positive,but in the detection of normal control CSF,the results of TRUST and VDRL were consistent.Conclusion TRUST is more suitable for serum and plasma specimens,and CSF is suitable for the CSF specimen,but not suitable for serum and plasma detection.

Objective To analyze the normal reference values of left ventricular longitudinal peak systolic strain (LS) and strain rate (LSr) by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) in healthy children at different ages.Methods Clinical ultrasound data of 330 healthy children who taking physical examination in our hospital from September 2015 to November 2016 were collected and retrospectively.They were divided into 7 groups according to their ages,that is,neonate group (0 to 28 days old),infant group (28 days to 1 year old),toddle group (1 to 3 years old),pre-school group (3 to 6 years old),school age group (6 to 9 years old),pre-adolescence group (9 to 13 years old) and adolescence group (13 to 18 years old).2D-STI was performed in the 3 apical projections of left ventricle (LV).The regional peak systolic longitudinal strain and strain rate of LV were measured.Results ① Significant differences were found in the LS and LSr values from 6 segments of the same wall (P ＜ 0.05),and the LS and LSr values were gradually increased from basal segment to apical segment.②There were no significant differences in the LS,LSr and global LS (GLS) values of 18 segments between sexes (P ＞ 0.05).③ Except the basal segments of posterior wall,inferior wall and posterior septum,LS value was gradually elevated with the increase of age (LS ＜LSinfant ＜ LStoddler,pre-shool and school age ＜ LSpre-adolescence and adolescence),So was GLS value.④LS in 18 segments had a positive correlation with age,and the value of apical segment in lateral wall was most remarkably correlated (r =0.551,P ＜0.01);Regional LS had a negative correlation with heart rate,and that of middle segment in lateral wall was the most apparent (r =-0.625,P ＜ 0.01);GLS was positively influenced by age (r =0.665,P ＜ 0.01) and negatively affected by heart rate (r =-0.625,P ＜ 0.01).⑤The heterogeneities were found in the correlations of regional LSr with age and heart rate in segments and in the LSr among different age groups.Conclusion Normal reference values of LV peak LS and LSr are established for healthy children at different ages,and they possess their own characteristics.

Objective To investigate the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on surgery and prognosis in patients with stage Ⅲ gastric cancer.Methods The 90 cases staging Ⅲ gastric cancer were randomly divided into neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and surgery group.Both surgical complications and prognosis were compared.Results The overall effective rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 53％ (24/45),disease control rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 91％ (41/45).Blood loss (t =4.102,P =0.037),local adhesions surgery (x2 =19.756,P =0.000),local tissue necrosis (x2 =13.512,P =0.000),tissue fragility (x2 =12.870,P =0.000) number of cases found in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group were higher than surgery group,and the data were statistically significant.There were no statistically significance between two groups about operation time (t =2.391,P =0.129),tissue congestion (x2 =0.865,P =0.352),postoperative bleeding(x2 =0.720,P =0.396),postoperative fistula (x2 =1.047,P =0.306).The survival time of neoadjuvant chemotherapy group was longer than surgery group,but it was not statistically significant(t =1.086,P =0.372).Conclusions Neoadjuvant chemotherapy could reduce the stage of the gastric cancer and increase the complexity of surgery.Thus preoperative evaluation should be prepared before the surgery.

This reform integrates the target tasks,day-to-day performance,personalized performance,Party and people management performance,and mandatory plan performance as one evaluation integrity,forming a new public hospitals’performance evaluation system of multi-dimension and multi-level.This approach can effectively integrate diversified performance management objectives and overcome key difficulties in performance management,assisting further promotion of the approach,facilitating government objectives in managing the medical sector,promoting healthy development of hospitals,and exploring how to deepen the public hospital reform in terms of separating ownership from operations.

OBJECTIVES: Some changes are found in the labyrinth anatomy during postnatal development. Although the spatial orientation of semicircular canals was thought to be stable after birth, we investigated the age-related orientational changes of human semicircular canals during development. METHODS: We retrospectively studied the computed tomography (CT) images of both ears of 76 subjects ranged from 1 to 70 years old. They were divided into 4 groups: group A (1-6 years), group B (7-12 years), group C (13-18 years), and group D (>18 years). The anatomical landmarks of the inner ear structures were determined from CT images. Their coordinates were imported into MATLAB software for calculating the semicircular canals orientation, angles between semicircular canal planes and the jugular bulb (JB) position. Differences between age groups were analyzed using multivariate statistics. Relationships between variables were analyzed using Pearson analysis. RESULTS: The angle between the anterior semicircular canal plane and the coronal plane, and the angle between the horizontal semicircular canal plane and the coronal plane were smaller in group D than those in group A (P<0.05). The JB position, especially the anteroposterior position of right JB, correlated to the semicircular canals orientation (P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences in the angles between ipsilateral canal planes among different age groups were found. CONCLUSION: The semicircular canals had tendencies to tilt anteriorly simultaneously as a whole with age. The JB position correlated to the spatial arrangement of semicircular canals, especially the right JB. Our calculation method helps detect developmental and pathological changes in vestibular anatomy.
