Objective To explore short-term effect of tonsillotomy on children′s obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) with tonsil hypertrophy by Ellman double-frequency radio-frequency machine .Methods Totally 30 cases children′s OS-AHS with tonsil hypertrophy were had tonsillotomy by Ellman double-frequency radio-frequency machine .They were compared with 30 cases children′s OSAHS with tonsil hypertrophy by traditional tonsillectomy .Short-term effect of tonsillotomy were ana-lyzed by wound bleeding ,operation time ,postoperative pain ,difficulty eating ,PSG testing ,immune function ,growth and develop-ment .Results Postoperative symptom in 1 weeks and 6 months ,compared with the traditional tonsillectomy ,30 cases of OSAHS patients were found that there were less bleeding ,shorter operative time ,mild postoperative pain ,no difficulty in feeding ,improving sleep-disordered breathing ,no decline in immune function ,good growth and development .Conclusion Short-term effect of tonsillot-omy on children′s OSAHS with tonsil hypertrophy is good by Ellman double-frequency radio-frequency machine ,it is a minimally invasive ,safe and effective surgical method children OSA HS .

Objective To evaluate the feasibility,safety and efficacy of laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis with previous abdominal surgery.Methods The clinical data of 253 patients with acute appendicitis undergoing laparoscopic surgery was retrospectively studied from Feb.2009 to Jun.2012,including 177 patients without previous abdominal surgery (no previous abdominal surgery group,NPAS group),76 patients with previous abdominal surgery (previous abdominal surgery group,PAS group).Parameters studied were conversion rates,operation time,blood loss,complications rate,length of hospital stay and the intestine function recovery time between two groups.Results The conversion rates were no significant difference between NPAS group and PAS group.The operation time of NPAS group and PAS group was (40.5 ± 12.3) minutes and (62.6 ± 14.2) minutes (P ＜0.05).The blood loss,intestine function recovery time,complications rate,and length of hospital stay were no significant minutes between NPAS group and PAS group after operation (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Previous abdominal surgery prolongs the operation time of laparoscopic appendectomy,but history of abdominal surgery has no significant effect on laparoscopic surgical outcome,which may indicate that laparoscopic surgery for acute appendicitis with previous abdominal surgery is safe and effective and still has the adventages of less trauma,faster recovery.

Objective To evaluate the expressions of MMP-7, E-cadherin in gastric carcinoma, and their relationship with tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Methods The MMP-7 mRNA and E-CD mRNA were detected by hybridization in situ in 78 gastric cancer tissues. Then analyze the relationship between the expression of MMP-7, E-CD and clinicopathological features. Results The expressions of MMP-7 and Ecadherin were significantly related with the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cell. The E-CD mRNA expression rate in MMP-7 mRNA positive gastric carcinoma tissue was much lower than that in negative carcinoma tissue (9.09 % vs 66.70 %). Conclusion Expression of MMP-7 mRNA and E-CD mRNA is associated with invasion, metastasis. Detection of MMP-7 mRNA and E-CD mRNA in bioptic specimens may be helpful in predicting tumor metastatic and recurrent potential and prognosis for patients with gastric carcinoma.

Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1 MMP/MMP 14) plays crucial roles in tumor cell growth, invasion, and angiogenesis. To clarify whether the endogenously expressed MT1-MMP in metastatic human ovarian carcinoma cell lines SKOV3 plays a critical role in tumor cell invasiveness, antisense MT1-MMP cloned in eukaryotic expression vector pMMP14as was transferred into SKOV3 cells. 48h after transfection, decreased expression of endogenous MT1-MMP protein was detected in pMMP14as transfected SKOV3 cells and the activation of pro MMP2was inhibited markedly. The mean percentage of invasive cells was (62. 50 ±5. 30) % in pMMP14as-transfected cells, which was obviously less than that (97.20±6.90) % in the control.Thus, antisense MT1 MMP effectively inhibited the endogenous MT1 MMP expression and the invasiveness in SKOV3 cells, suggesting that MT1-MMP may be a therapeutic target molecule for human invasive ovarian cancers.

Objective:To investigate the effects of breast milk to total milk intake ratio during hospitalization on the duration of antibiotic therapy in preterm infants less than 34 weeks of gestation.Methods:Clinical data of preterm infants ( n=1 792) less than 34 gestational weeks were retrospectively collected in 16 hospitals of Jiangsu Province Neonatal-Perinatal Cooperation Network from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021. The days of therapy (DOT) were used to evaluate the duration of antibiotic administration. The median DOT was 15.0 d (7.0-27.0 d). The patients were divided into four groups based on the quartiles of DOT: Q 1 (DOT≤7.0 d), Q 2 (7.0 d27.0 d) groups. According to the breast milk intake ratio (breast milk intake to total milk intake during hospitalization×100%), they were also divided into four groups: very-low-ratio breastfeeding group (breast milk intake ratio≤25%), low-ratio breastfeeding group (25%75%). Univariate analysis ( Chi-square test and Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test) was used to analyze the factors influencing DOT. Spearman correlation analysis and trend Chi-square test were used to explore the relationship between breast milk intake ratio and DOT. After using multiple imputations to address missing data, two models were constructed after adjusting for different factors, and multinomial logistic regression model was applied to evaluate the effects of the breast milk intake ratio on DOT. Finally, sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the stability of the models. Results:(1) Of the 1 792 preterm infants, there were 507 (28.3%) in the Q 1 group, 422 (23.5%) in the Q 2 group, 438 (24.4%) in the Q 3 group and 425 (23.7%) in the Q 4 group. (2) The median values of DOT in the very-low-ratio, low-ratio, medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding groups were 20.0 d (11.0-31.0 d), 20.0 d (11.0-32.0 d), 13.0 d (6.0-25.8 d) and 10.0 d (4.0-21.0 d), respectively. Compared with the very-low-ratio and low-ratio breastfeeding groups, the medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding groups had shorter DOT (all P<0.05). (3) After adjusting for factors with P<0.1 (prenatal glucocorticoid exposure, antimicrobial use within 24 h before delivery, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, Apgar score≤7 at 1 min, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, infectious pneumonia and early-onset neonatal sepsis) between the DOT quartile groups, it showed that medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding were protective factors in contrast to very-low-ratio breastfeeding in the Q 2, Q 3 and Q 4 groups as compared with the Q 1 group [Q 2 group: OR=0.50 (95% CI: 0.30-0.85) and OR=0.36 (95% CI: 0.26-0.51); Q 3 group: OR=0.31 (95% CI: 0.18-0.55) and OR=0.20 (95% CI: 0.14-0.29); Q 4 group: OR=0.22 (95% CI: 0.12-0.42) and OR=0.17 (95% CI: 0.12-0.26)]. Conclusion:Breast milk intake accounting for over 50% of total milk intake has a positive impact on reducing DOT in premature infants requiring antibiotics, which suggests that breastfeeding should be actively encouraged.
