Objective To investigate the value of laparoscopic operations for the diagnosis and treatment of acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID). Methods A series of 83 patients with PID diagnosed and treated by laparoscopic technique from January 1999 to December 2003 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Conversions to open surgery were required in 2 patients because of serious pelvic adhesions. No complications were observed. The diagnostic accordance rate before and after the surgery was 63.9% (53/83): 74.3% (26/35) in patients with acute PID and 56.2% (27/48) in patients with chronic PID. Among 35 patients with acute PID, the duration of operation was 20~75 min (mean, 44.7 min) and the postoperative hospital stay was 3~12 d (mean, 6.2 d). Postoperative pyrexia occurred in 28 patients, whose temperatures returned to normal within 5 days. The blood routine examination results were restored to normal levels in 26 patients at 2 days after operation. Out of 48 patients with chronic PID, the length of operation was 20~130 min (mean, 75 min) and the postoperative hospital stay, 2~8 d (mean, 5.5 d). Postoperative pyrexia occurred in 5 patients and a complete recovery of temperature was observed within 3 days. The blood routine examinations revealed normal findings in 42 patients at 2 days after operation. Follow-up checkups for 3 months in all the patients found no relapse. Conclusions Prompt application of laparoscopic operations is of importance in increasing diagnostic accuracy, improving curative efficacy, and preventing possible complications.

Objective To investigate effects of laparoscopy in the early diagnosis of atypical tubal pregnancy.Methods We retrospectively studied clinical records of 36 cases of "probable tubal pregnancy" from January 2003 to May 2005 in this hospital.All the patients were given transvaginal ultrasonography and serum ?-human chorionic gonadotropin examinations.Then laparoscopy was performed to clarify the diagnosis.The accordance rate before and after the laparoscopy was evaluated. Results After laparoscopy,26 patients were confirmed as having ectopic pregnancy(oviduct,25 patients;ovary,1 patient) and 3 patients were excluded for having ectopic pregnancy,the confirmative diagnosis rate being 80.5%(29/36).The diagnosis could not be identified with certainty in 7 patients,2 of whom were cured with radix trichosanthis and 5 of whom were afterwards clinically diagnosed as having tubal pregnancy(1 patient) or intrauterine early pregnancy(4 patients).Conclusions Laparoscopic management at proper time is the best choice in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy,especially in early-stage or atypical cases.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of laparoscopic procedure for benign ovarian diease. Methods 1387 cases of benign ovarian diease diagnosed from Jannary,1995 to February,2001 according to patient's age,history,ultrasound exam and tumor markers and laparoscopy were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Results 531 cases postoperatively diagnosed as endometriotic cyst,254 cases teratoma,139 inflammatory masses,121 serous cystademona,67 cases mucinous cystadenoma,128 parovarian,140 simple ovarian cyst,3 cases brenner tumor,1 case borderline mucinous cystadenoma,1 case mucinous cystadenocarcinoma,1 case endometrioid carcinoma and 1 case malignant brenner tumor.99.7% of preoperative diagnosis of benign ovarian diease was consistant with that done postoperatively laparoscopy were performed in All of the patients except for two cases of ovarian carcinoma,who were given laparohysterectomy. Conclusions Laparoscopic management for benign ovarian diease has much the same effect that laparotomy does.It should be encouraged to be clinically applied for it's quicker recovery,shorter hospitalization duration,less morbidity,and so on.

Objective To compare the antalgic effects of ropivacaine in various doses on brachial plexus nerves. Methods 87 patients undergoing upper arm surgery were enrolled in this study. The patients were unpremed-itated. The patients were randomized to receive ropivacaine of 0.30,0.25 or 0.20% (group Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ) with mor-phine of 0.1mg/ml and Lidocaine of 10mg/ml. In order to analygesia of brachial plexus nerves,the rejecting of load dose is firstly 10ml,the total dose is 10ml/24h interval every time,the antalgic time is about 50 hours. To compare the antalgic effects of ropivacaine in various doses based on standard of VAS. Based on standard of Bromage to assess the situation of motor neuron blocking. Results According to standard of VAS in 6,12,24 and 48 hours after underwent surgery, the group Ⅲ is more effective than group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ ; according to standard of Bromage, the group Ⅰ is more effective than group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ. it has no adverse reactions to patients. Condusion 0. 25% of ropiva-eaine with morphine of 0.1mg/ml and lidocaine of 10mg/ml have obtained good antalgic effects for patients after un-dergoing upper arm surgery,it is fit for applying in clinic.

The paper reported three young women who collapsed into sudden abnormal behavior and convulsions and fell into unconsciousness. After admission, they were found to suffer from ovarian teratomas with anti-NMDAR antibody positive in cerebrospinal fluid or serum. The patients were diagnosed as anti-NMDAR encephalitis associated with ovarian teratoma, and teratoma resection was performed.

Objective To present the surgical technique of transumbilical laparoendoscopic singlesite pyeloplasty (LESS-P) for pediatric patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).Methods Twenty-four pediatric patients with UPJO had transumbilical LESS-P performed by the same surgeon from June to December 2010.Sixteen patients were male and eight female aged from 2 to 62 months with an average age of 14 months.Eighteen patients had obstruction on the left side and six on the right side.Dismembered LESS-P was carried out with the Anderson-Hynes anastomosis where 5-0 sutures were uswed over a double J ureteric stent.Results All operations were successful.None was converted to open surgery and no additional sheath tube or incision besides the umbilicus was needed.No intraoperative complications occurred.Ectopic blood vessels were found in two patients during surgery.The mean operative time was 145 min,and the average blood loss about 10 ml.Abdominal drainage tubes remained for 2 -9 d after surgery.The mean postoperative hospital time was 7 d.Two patients had postoperative urinary fistula,which naturally disappeared at 4 and 7 d postoperation,respectively.Follow-up with ultrasound and diuretic renal scintigraphy found 23 patients had significantly decreased renal pelvis diameter,the remaining case showed no obvious change,but diuretic renography showed significantly improved excretion.ConclusionsPediatric transumbilical LESS-P could be safe and effective.LESS-P could achieve comparable clinic outcomes to standard laparoscopy.

To assess targeting of an epothilone folate conjugate (BMS-753493) to the folate receptor (FR)-overexpressed tumor in mice bearing both FR+ and FR- tumors, a series of experiments were conducted by quantitative whole-body autoradiography (QWBA) and LC-MS/MS following i.v. administration of BMS-753493 or its active moiety, BMS-748285 in mice bearing FR+ (98M109) and FR- (M109) tumors. QWBA showed [H]BMS-753493-derived radioactivity was extensively distributed to various tissues. The FR over-expressing 98M109 tumors showed consistently higher level of radioactivity than FR-negative tumors (., M109 tumors) up to 48 h post dose of [H]BMS-753493, despite the magnitude of difference between the tumors is relatively small (generally 3~5-fold). The radioactivity level in 98M109 tumors was 2~12-fold of normal tissues except intestine/content at 48 h post dose. No selective radioactivity uptake into 98M109 tumors over M109 or normal tissues was observed after i.v. administration of the active epothilone, [H]BMS-748285. LC-MS/MS measurements demonstrated that the concentrations of BMS-748285, presumably from hydrolysis of the folate conjugate, in 98M109 tumors were greater than those in M109 tumors after i.v. administration of BMS-753493 (2-3-fold) whereas no differential uptake in the tumors following BMS-748285 administration. Those data were consistent with radioactivity determinations. Those results demonstrated that the folate conjugation in BMS-753493 enabled moderately preferential distribution of the active epothilone to FR over-expressing 98M109 tumors, thereby supporting targeted delivery of cytotoxics through the folate receptor.
