Objective To provide the practical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients who were admitted by green channel because of vomiting and abdominal pain. Method 268 cases with vomiting andabdominal pain ( from January 2007 to December 2008 ) who were admitted into the emergency observation unit through green channel were retrospectively analyzed, and various risk factors were considered with logistic regression model. Result Among 268 cases, 34 kinds of different diseases were found,while gastrointestinal diseases were the greatest proportion [60. 1% (161/268)] and gastroenteritis was most common reason 77.6%( 125/161 ). Between different age groups ( ≤ 3-year-old group and>3-yearold group), the overall incidence of various diseases and the profile of disease was different (P<0.05).The incidence of diseases in the digestive tract, infectious diseases and surgical between two groups was statistically different (P<0.05). Between inpatient admission and non-inpatient admission patients, single logistic regression showed that there was significantly different between the nine events (age, fever, shock,duration of symptoms, blood routine test( BRT), liver function, blood Na+, blood / urine amylase, electrocardiogram) ( P <0.05). In the regression model, all showed significant difference except BRT. Conclusion Most of patients with vomiting and abdominal pain were digestive system diseases. Patients ≤ 3years old had a higher incidence of infectious and surgical diseases. The patients who accompanied by fever,shock and laboratory tests such asliver function, blood Na +, blood / urine amylase, electrocardiogram were abnormal would have higher hospitalize rate.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To screen out a suitable lead for monitoring the ambulatory electrocardiogram ( ECG) in un-restrained toad, and to investigate its practicability.METHODS:After subcutaneously implanting the electrodes in toads under anaesthesia, the ambulatory ECG of 5 leads were monitored with BL-420S data acquisition and analysis system, and the leads which could well express the waveform in ECG were screened out.The recovery process of the toads from the arti-ficial hibernation within 6 h, the day-to-day stability of the heart rate ( HR) and the heart rate variability ( HRV) in 5 suc-cessive days of hibernation, and the HR and HRV after freeze-thawing process were monitored to determine its practicabili-ty.RESULTS:Two out of 5 leads showed better ECG waveforms.Compared with 6 h post hibernation, lowered HR at 0 h and 1 h was observed, and the standard deviation of normal R-R intervals ( SDNN) was significantly increased ( P<0.05 or P<0.01), but the HR and SDNN from 2 to 5 h showed no significant difference, suggesting that the cardiac function reached the steady state after 2 h recovery.The HR at 2 h and 4 h on day 4 and day 5 decreased significantly compared with that on day 1 (P<0.05 or P<0.01), followed with a significant increase in SDNN (P<0.05 or P<0.01), sugges-ting that the ECG remained stable within 3 d.The HR increased, while SDNN decreased significantly at 1 h and 12 h post-thawing compared with that at pre-freeze (P<0.05), indicating the damaged cardiac function after freeze-thawing process. CONCLUSION:The method of subcutaneously implanting electrodes is suitable for effectively monitoring the ambulatory ECG in toads.
