For investigating the effectiveness and safety of oral sodium phosphate in preparation for colonoscopy,108 cases from both outpatient and inpatient clinics from June,1995 to March,1996 were randomized and blinded to receive either oral sodium phosphate or standardized electrolyte lavage solu- tion as control.The questionaire was designed for scoring by patients and doctors regarding to its toler- ance,taste,side effects and cleaning degree etc.Results showed that the tolerance rates in oral sodium phosphate and electrolyle lavage were 87.5% and 69.2% and the rates of preference in using them were 32.2% and 15.4% respectively(P

To introduce the methods of the arthroscopy for exterior joint surgery, 45 cases have been subjected to surgical operations under arthroscopy in the exterior of joint during June 1999 to July 2002, including 14 for gluteus constrictor releasing by radiofrequency, 5 for removing of the screw and plate of the femur shaft, 3 for reduction and internal fixation for the fracture of humerus greater tubercle under the arthroscopy, 8 for removal of popliteal fosse cyst, and 15 for releasing carpal tunnel syndrome. The results showed that the function was satisfactory after reduction and internal fixation for humerus greater tubercle fracture, releasing of gluteus contracture and removing of popliteal fossa cyst by radiofrequency under arthroscopy. The symptoms of numbness and pain disappeared after carpal tunnel release by arthroscopy. No blood vessel and nerve injury, occurred and no recurrence and infection were found. In conclusion, the procedures of arthroscopy are with minimum invasion, less pain and easy for early rehabilitation for all treated cases. It can be used not only for joint disease but also be selective for the exterior joint surgery as well.

Objective:To summarize the patient profiles and therapeutic efficacies of ABO-incompatible living-related kidney transplantations at 19 domestic transplant centers and provide rationales for clinical application of ABOi-KT.Methods:Clinical cases of ABO-incompatible/compatible kidney transplantation (ABOi-KT/ABOc-KT) from December 2006 to December 2009 were collected. Then, statistical analyses were conducted from the aspects of tissue matching, perioperative managements, complications and survival rates of renal allograft or recipients.Results:Clinical data of 342 ABOi-KT and 779 ABOc-KT indicated that (1) no inter-group differences existed in age, body mass index (BMI), donor-recipient relationship or waiting time of pre-operative dialysis; (2) ABO blood type: blood type O recipients had the longest waiting list and transplantations from blood type A to blood type O accounted for the largest proportion; (3) HLA matching: no statistical significance existed in mismatch rate or positive rate of PRA I/II between two types of surgery; (4) CD20 should be properly used on the basis of different phrases; (5) hemorrhage was a common complication during an early postoperative period and microthrombosis appeared later; (6) no difference existed in postoperative incidence of complications or survival rate of renal allograft and recipients at 1/3/5/10 years between ABOi-KT and ABOc-KT. The acute rejection rate and serum creatinine levels of ABOi-KT recipients were comparable to those of ABOc-KT recipients within 1 year.Conclusions:ABOi-KT is both safe and effective so that it may be applied at all transplant centers as needed.
