Objective To explore the effects of warm water insufflation applied in difficult colonoscopy on its success rate, insertion time, operation difficulty level and tolerance of patients. Method 200 cases of the difficult defecation of non-narcotic colonoscopy, IBS and always has a history of pelvic/abdominal surgery patients, were randomly divided into warm water infusion group (experimental group) and traditional method of air insufflation group (control group), then compare the differences of the success rate of the two groups of patients, the insertion time and degree of tolerance in patients. Results All the patients completed the investigation in this study, neither bowel perforation nor other complications occurred. Experimental group success rate of the whole colon examination, the insertion time, the operator satisfaction and check again wishes were significantly higher than that of control group (P < 0.05). In abdominal pressure and utilization, abdominal pain scoring position transformation, the former was significantly lower than the latter (P < 0.05). In abdominal pressure and utilization, abdominal pain scoring position transformation, the former was significantly lower than the latter (P < 0.05). There is no significant difference (P > 0.05) in Polyp detection rate. Conclusion Warm water insufflation colonoscopy can effectively improve the tolerance and accelerating the colonoscopy in patients with difficult insertion process, improve work efficiency, and is an ideal method, which is worth of promoting.

With the progress of human civilization,the harmonious development of society is gradually realized by different researchers.Medicine,as a science directly serving humans,emphasizes more on humanism than other sciences.Medical research is not only characterized by scientificity and innovativeness,but also by ethicality.More and more biomedical journals are paying attention to issues of ethics.This review discussed the ethical issues in academic medical writing based on the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals published by International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the discussions by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

BACKGROUND:Nitric oxide can interfere with the function of mitochondria, and accelerate the intervertebral disc damage and degeneration by interfering with the release of inflammatory cytokines. Nitric oxide is an important inflammatory cel medium leading to degeneration of intervertebral disc induced by pressure and other external factors.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the regulatory effect of nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase inhibitor niacinamide on mitochondrial function and its association with biological behavior of rabbit nucleus pulposus.
METHODS:Cultured nucleus pulposus cel s of rabbit lumbar intervertebral disc were randomly divided into six groups:normal blank control group, 10μmol/L sodium nitroprusside group, 100μmol/L sodium nitroprusside group, 200μmol/L sodium nitroprusside group, 0.05 g/L nicotinamide group (100μmol/L sodium nitroprusside+0.05g/L nicotinamide), and 0.5 g/L nicotinamide group (100μmol/L sodium nitroprusside and 0.5 g/L nicotinamide). Different doses of nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside and nicotinamide were added in the medium of each group. Three days after intervention, cel proliferation activity, intracel ular ATP concentration, cel nitric oxide synthase activity, cel ular reactive oxygen species level, and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) After 3 days of rabbit nucleus pulposus cel s intervened by different concentrations of sodium nitroprusside, intracel ular nitric oxide synthase content increased with sodium nitroprusside volume increase, and ATP concentration decreased along with sodium nitroprusside volume increase;there were significantly differences between the normal control group and sodium nitroprusside groups (P<0.01). (2) Reactive oxygen species could be increased in the sodium nitroprusside group. Niacinamide groups indicated a dose-dependent manner to improve the increase of cel ular reactive oxygen species levels with sodium nitroprusside intervention (P<0.01). (3) In the sodium nitroprusside groups, nucleus pulposus cel membrane potential decreased. In the niacinamide groups, sodium nitroprusside-induced decline in mitochondrial membrane potential was reduced (P<0.01). (4) Niacinamide groups also indicated a dose-dependent manner to improve the proliferative activity of nucleus pulposus cel s as compared with sodium nitroprusside groups (P<0.01). Significant differences were determined between the two groups (P<0.01). (5) Results suggest that the excess nitric oxide can damage mitochondrial metabolic function of rabbit nucleus pulposus cel s and cause cel energy metabolism. Niacinamide can reverse these damages by inhibiting nitric oxide synthesis, thereby contributing to the prevention against intervertebral disc degeneration.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and antibacterial resistance of nosocomial infection from a new hospital pathogens,and provide reference for clinical rational use of drugs.METHODS Statistical methods were used to analyze the data of pathogen′s formation,distribution and antibacterial resistance of a new hospital.RESULTS A total of 1852 clinical isolates were collected from Mar 2005 through Mar 2007,of which Gram-negative microorganisms and Gram-positive cocci accounted for 71.0 % and 29.0%,respectively.The most commonly encountered pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli,Klebsiella spp,Acinetobacter,Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus.Except Acinetobacter,up to 6% strains of Gram-negative microorganisms were resistant to the imipenem,meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam;Gram-positive cocci were still highly sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin.CONCLUSIONS A new hospital is similar with other hospitals in the data of formation,distribution and antibacterial resistance of nosocomial infection pathogens.

Objective To compare the effect of Devine surgery with different fixed positions in the treatment of concealed penis.Methods According to the different fixed positions,45 patients with concealed penis in our hospital from January 2010 to February 2015 were divided into two groups:20 patients were treated with the method that fixing the scapus penis to dermis of the penis' root (group A);the other 25 patients were treated with the method that fixing the scapus penis to pectineal fascia (group B).The surgical success rate,the penile length,and the edema time after surgery between two groups were compared.Results There was no significant difference in surgical success rate and edema time between two groups (P > 0.05).But the penile length of group B was longer than that of group A after surgery (P < 0.05).Conclusion In the treatment of concealed penis with Devine surgery,comparing to the method which fixing scapus penis to dermis of penis'root,the method which fixing scapus penis to fascia pectinea is much better in penile length and penile appearance.
