Objective To observe the clinical effect of small endoscopic sphincterectomy (SES) combined with endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) in the treatment of large common bile duct stones.Methods The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST),EPBD,SES combined with EPBD.The incidence of pancreatitis at 1 week after operation and the recurrence rate of inner duct stone within 15 months after operation were statistically analyzed.Results At 1 week after treatment,the incidence of pancreatitis was lower in group EST and group SES combind with EPBD than in group EPBD [3.3％ (1/30),3.3％ (1/30) vs.20.0％ (6/30),both P＜0.05].After 15 months of treatment,the recurrence rate of inner duct stone were lower in group B and group C than in group A 3.3％ (1/30),3.3％ (1/30) vs.23.3％(7/30),both P＜0.05).Conclusions In the treatment of large common bile duct stones,SES combined with EPBD can reduce the incidence of postoperative acute pancreatitis and the longterm recurrence rate of common bile duct stones.

Objective To study the effect of indomethacin preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis ( PEP ) on the patients younger than 50 years undergoing small endoscopic sphincterotomy (sEST) combined with endoscopic papillary balloon dilation(EPBD) in the treatment of choledocholithiasis. Methods 202 patients younger than 50 years with choledocholithiasis were divided into two groups, 101 patients in treatment group before surgery were rectal administrated with indometacin, 101 patients in control group were administered with placebo, all patients underwent sEST combined with EPBD in the treatment of choledocholithiasis.After operation,the abdominal pain NRS score, amylase, incidence of pancreatitis and hospitalization time were recorded, and the rates of heartburn, rash, gastrointestinal bleeding were recorded.Results In the treatment group, pain NRS score 24 hours after operation was(0.327 ±0.763), amylase 24 hours after operation was (116.87 ±113.97) U/L, there were 3 cases of postoperative pancreatitis (2.97%) in the treatment group,and the postoperative hospitalization time was (6.42 ±2.11) days.In the control group, pain NRS score 24 hours after operation was ( 0.634 ±1.027 ) , amylase 24 hours after operation was ( 185.38 ±160.60 ) U/L, there were 11 cases of postoperative pancreatitis (10.89%) in the control group, and the postoperative hospitalization time were (7.29 ±2.71) days.The differences of NRS pain score, amylase, incidence of pancreatitis, postoperative hospitalization time between these two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05 ) .The differences of the rates of postoperative heartburn, rash, gastrointestinal bleeding between these two groups were not statistically significant.Conclusion Indomethacin rectal administration can prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis ( PEP ) on the patients who undergoing sEST combined with EPBD in the treatment of choledocholithiasis,and this administration is quite security.

Objective To compare the curative effects between minimally invasive and standard direct approach of pri?mary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in elderly patients. Methods One hundred and eighteen geratic patients with hip disease were divided into minimally invasive group (n=61) and standard group (n=57). All the patients were followed up from 15 months to 3 years. The length of incision, surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, number of blood transfusion, hospitalization time and the Harris hip scores were compared between two groups. Results The length of incision, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, number of blood transfusion and hospitalization time were signifi?cantly lower in minimally invasive group than those in standard group, but the Harris hip scores were significantly higher 3 months after the operation in minimally invasive group than those in standard group (P<0.05). First intention wound healing was found in all patients in two groups. The postoperative complications were significantly lower in minimally invasive group than those in standard group (3.28%vs 15.79%, P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with standard incision of primary total hip arthroplasty , minimally invasive direct lateral approach has its advantages, including small surgical trauma, less hospitaliza?tion time, fewer complications, and which can help restore joint function quickly, making the curative effect satisfied in elderly patients.

Objective To explore the correlation between non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.Methods HCV infection of 208 NHL patients was investigated from the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University.Patients with leukemia or other tumors,and healthy people were used as the control and were pair matched on age and gender.ELISA method was used to detect the HCV-antibody in serum.Results HCV-antibody positive rate in NHL patients [11.5 ％ (24/208)] was significantly higher than those in leukemia patients [3.8 ％ (8/208)] (x2 =8.667,P =0.003),patients with other tumors (6/208,2.9 ％) (x2 =11.639,P =0.001) and healthy people [1.0 ％ (2/208)] (x2 =19.856,P =0.000).Conclusion HCV infection is related to NHL in Henan area.

AIM: To explore the properties of the acetylcholine(ACh)-sensitive potassium channel in type Ⅱ vestibular hair cells(VHCs Ⅱ) in mice saccular macula and the modulation effect of calcium ions.METHODS: Under the whole-cell patch mode,the pharmacology properties of ACh-sensitive potassium channel and the modulation of calcium ions on ACh-sensitive potassium channel were investigated.RESULTS: Following extracellular perfusion of ACh,VHCs Ⅱ displayed a slow and sustained outward current,which was sensitive to tetraethylammonium(TEA,5 mmol/L) and charybdotoxin(CTX,100 nmol/L),but not sensitive to 4-aminopyride(4-AP,15 ?mol/L).ACh-sensitive potassium current was inhibited by intracellular application of ethylene glycol-bis(B-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic-acid(EGTA,5 mmol/L) and extracellular perfusion of Cd2+ and Ni2+,respectively.Intracellular application of heparin(8 g/L) failed to inhibit ACh-sensitive potassium current.CONCLUSION: Extracellular application of ACh activates the big conductance,calcium-dependent potassium current(BK) in VHCs Ⅱ of mice,which is potently modulated by extracellular Ca2+ ions.However,intracellular IP3-dependent Ca2+ ions release mechanism is not involved in the activation of the ACh-sensitive BK channel.

Aim To study the absorption kinetics of se-ries molecular weight 5-ASA-mPEG in rats intestine. Methods The in situ intestinal absorption property of 5-ASA-mPEG in rats was investigated by means of sin-gle-pass perfusion, and HPLC method was established to determine the drug concentration in the perfusate. Results The drug concentration and the site of intes-tine segments had little effect on the drug absorption constant ( Ka ) and apparent absorption coefficient (Papp). The perfusion flow rate and the variable mo-lecular weight of 5-ASA-mPEG could significantly af-fect the Ka and Papp. Conclusion 5-ASA-mPEG can be absorbed at all segments of the intestine of rats and has no specific absorption site. It is preliminarily in-ferred that the absorption mechanism of 5-ASA-mPEG is passive transportation. The intestinal absorption of 5-ASA-mPEG shows a downward trend with the increase in molecular weight. The results shows that the modifi-cation of 5-ASA by PEG can effectively inhibit the in-testinal absorption of mesalazine.

Objective To study whether post-operative radiotherapy is necessary for patients with early breast cancer after radical mastectomy. Methods In 1998, 270 early breast cancer patients with 0 -3 pathologically confirmed positive axillary lymph nodes after radical mastectomy were retrospectively ana-lyzed. There were 156 patients with negative lymph node and 114 with 1 -3 positive lymph nodes. The prog-nostic index (PI) was defined as the sum of scores of the tumor size, number of positive axillary lymph nodes, receptor status, surgical margin status, lymphatic thrombi status, pathological grading and age. The PI≥ 4 was considered as high-risk, and PI <4 as the low-risk. Numerical variables were compared using t test and categorical variables were compared using chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calcu-late the survival rates, and the Log-rank test was used for the comparison of the survival curves between dif-ferent groups. Results Of the patients with lymph node negative and 1 - 3 positive, the survival rates were 75.0% and 63.2% (χ~2 = 4.40 ,P =0.036), respectively. The corresponding disease-free survival rate, lo-cal recurrence rate, distant metastasis rate were 71.2% and 9.6% (χ~2 = 3.90, P = 0.048), 7.7% and 16.7%(χ~2 =5.22,P=0.022),12.8% and 21.1%(χ~2=3.27,P=0.070), respectively. The mean dis-ease-free survival time of the two groups was 97.03 ± 2.53 months and 87.01 ± 3.80 months, respectively. In the high-risk group, the 10-year survival rates of patients with and without radiotherapy were 72% and 56% (χ~2 = 4.07, P = 0.044), the local recurrence rates were 5% and 24% (χ~2= 11.16, P = 0. 001), and the distant metastasis rates were 16% and 26% (χ~2= 2.18 ,P = 0. 140). In the low-risk group, the survival rate of patients with and without radiotherapy were 81% and 71% (χ~2 = 1.57 ,P = 0.210), the local recur-rence rates were both 11% (χ~2=0.01 ,P=0.975), and the distant metastasis rates were both 13% (χ~2 = 0.00,P = 1. 000). Conclusions Early breast cancer patients with 1 -3 positive axiilary lymph nodes should receive post-operative radiotherapy after radical mastectomy. The prognostic index may decrease the chance of unnecessary radiation by distinguishing the patients under low risk of recurrence from those under high risk.
