Abdominal drainage is the most common technique applied in the abdominal surgery. According to the aim of drainage, it can be divided into curative drainage and preventive drainage, but there is no obvious difference between the 2 drainages. Abdominal drainage is not necessary after parenchymal viscera operation, but necessary after spleenectomy in preventing infection. For cavity viscera operation, abdominal drainage is applied according to the infectious condition, but scholars at home and abroad have different opinions on this point. Surgeons should pay attention to the placement of the drainage tube in patients who received preventive drainage.

Objective To study the effects of different type of parathyroid damage to the postoperative functional recovery of parathyroid,through establish an animal model by simulating total thyroidectomy and parathyroid damage during surgical operation.Methods Experimental rabbits for the study were randomly divided into A,B,C,D four groups (n =8),Group A (control group):simple exposure,exploration thyroid and parathyroid;group B (vascular injury group):total thyroidectomy and ligation bilateral parathyroid blood supply but keep the surrounding membrane;Group C (membrane damage group):total thyroidectomy and damage membrane but reservations blood supply.Group D (composite damage group):total thyroidectomy plus membrane and blood both damage;All animals were monitored of serum calcium and PTH,preoperative 1 days and postoperative 1 st day,3rd day,5th day,7t day;cut the parathyroid HE staining to observed survival of parathyroid tissue and pathology damage when 7th day after operation.Results (1) Animals in each group preoperative serum calcium and PTH were no significant difference (P ＞0.05);(2)Group A postoperative serum calcium decreased,but at 5th day returned to preoperative level (P ＞ 0.05);Group B and C postoperative 1st day,3rd day,5th day serum calcium decreased significantly(P ＜ 0.05)and to the lowest at 1 d and then gradually recovered,but group C faster recovered than group B (P ＜ 0.05);Group D postoperative 1 st day,3rd day serum calcium continued to decline significantly (P ＜ 0.05);(3) Group A postoperative serum PTH decreased,but at 7th days returned to preoperative level (P ＞ 0.05).Group B and C postoperative 1st day,3rd day,5th days serum PTH decreased significantly(P ＜0.05)and to the lowest at 1 d and then gradually recovered,but from postoperative 3rd day group C faster recovered than group B(P ＜ 0.05);Group D postoperative 1 st day,3rd day serum PTH continued to decline significantly (P ＜ O.05);(4) Pathology results:Group A parathyroid filled with chief cells and a small amount of vacuolar changes (5％ to 10％);Group B parathyroid hemorrhage,necrosis (40％ to 50％),part of the cell degeneration (30％ to 40％),center with fibrosis,seen granuloma and hyperplasia of parathyroid tissue in surrounding;Group C parathyroid bleeding (10％ to 20％),part of the cell degeneration (10％ to 20％);Group D parathyroid severe necrosis,almost no normal parathyroid tissue,significant fibrosis,less residual parathyroid tissue was scattered.Conclusions (l) The recover of Parathyroid function is influenced by the type of parathyroid in situ injury during thyroidectomy,composite damage of blood supply and membrane of parathyroid is the most serious,parathyroid ischemia necrosis,the function can not be restored,pure blood supply damaged,some can restore function,and the parathyroid gland with vascular pedicle can be recovered quickly.(2) Severe blood supply and membrane damaged,and even free parathyroid should be transplanted immediately during operation.

Objective To study the clinical value of peritoneal cavity non-drainage after the operation of acute perforating appendicitis.Methods 196 patients with perforating appendicitis were randomly divided into drainage group and non-drainage group.The incidence rates of wound infection and ankylenteron and hospital durations in the two groups were observed and compared with each other.Results The incidence rate of wound infection and ankylenteron were 19.0%,10.7% in the drainage group and 8.0%,4.5% in the non-drainage group respectively(P0.05).The mean postoperative hospital stay of the drainage group was(9.3?2.7)days,which was significantly longer that of the non-drainage group(5.1?1.9)days,P

Objective To study the effect of temporary in vitro preservation of parathyroid on the activity of cells in the process of parathyroid auto-transplantation and function of postoperative in order to improve the survival rate of transplantation.Methods (1)Experimental rabbits for the study were randomly divided into three groups:group A,group B,group C,with 8 rabbits in each group.Then we remove the bilateral inferior parathyroid,in group A,the parathyroid glands were immediately formaldehyde-fixed;in group B and group C,the parathyroid glands were placed in normal saline in 4 ℃ and in room temperature (22-24 ℃) for 30 minutes respectively and then fixed;HE staining was performed on the left parathyroid glands to observe the morphology of the cells;Electron microscopic examination of the right parathyroid glands were performed to observe the ultrastructural changes of the cells.(2)Experimental rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:group D group E and group F,with 8 rabbits in each group,after total thyroidectomy,the double inferior parathyroid glands were took out,in group D,the parathyroid glands were immediately transplanted in bilateral anterior cervical muscles;in group E and group F,the parathyroid glands were placed in normal saline 4 ℃ and in room temperature (22-24 ℃) for 30 minutes respectively and then transplanted.All animals were monitored of serum calcium and PTH on preoperative 1 d and postoperative 1 d,3 d,5 d,7 d;the parathyroid was took out for HE staining to observed survival of parathyroid tissue and pathology damage when 7d after operation.Results (1) The normal parathyroid gland is mainly dominated by the chief cells,the nucleus of the chief cell was round and centered under electron microscope;there were no significant change in the morphology of parathyroid cells,and the mitoehondria of the cells were slightly swollen under 4 ℃;but the parathyroid gland cells were slightly swollen and partially vacuole degeneration,the morphology of the nucleus was irregular,and the mitochondria were extremely swollen and deformed,and the ridge was broken under room temperature.(2)three groups of rabbits after transplantation of parathyroid,serum calcium and PTH decreased significantly,and increased gradually,there was significant difference on the 7th day after the operaion between the two groups (P＜0.05);(3)in group D,the normal parathyroid cells densely distributed in the anterior cervical muscle tissue;in group E,A large number of parathyroid cells survived in muscle tissue,with some vacuolated;in group F,only part of healthy parathyroid ceils scattered in the muscle.Conclusion Parathyroid should be preserved in 4 ℃ normal saline during the operation,and the transplant should be completed in 30 minutes as far as possible.

Objective To investigate the cause and diagnosis of anastomotic fistula following low anterior excision of rectal cancer,and its management and prevention measures.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 6 patients with anastomotic leakage underwent anterior excision of rectal cancer.Results 115 patients accepted anterior excision of rectal cancer,6 patients developed anastomotic fistula.5 patients are cured with effective pelvic drainage and 1 case with ileostomy and pelvic drainage.Conclusions Anastomotic fistula is one of the most serious complications related to pre-operative preparation,blood supply and anastomotic tension,intra-operative technigues and effective of drainage.It can be avoided or reduced by different prophylactic measures.

Objective To study the anatomical relationship between the recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN)and the inferior thyroid artery,to investigate the prophylactic measures on how to avoid iatrogenic injures while exposing the RLN during thyroid operation.Methods Retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 1 345 patients accepted thyroid operation with RLN exposing.Results A total of RLN 1 988 were observed,874 on the left and 1 114 on the right(including 2 non-recurrent laryngeal nerve).On the left side,the nerve passed anterior to the artery in 32.8%,posterior to it in 26.7%,and between the branches of the artery in 41.6%.On the left side,the nerve was found coursing anterior to the artery in 36.2%,posterior to it in 28.2%,and between the branches in 35.3%.6 nerves were iatrogenic injured,4 cases were temporary injured and 2 were permanent.Conclusions Although the anatomical relationship between the RLN and the inferior thyroid artery are variable,iatrogenic injures of the nerve can be avoid by exposing it,and an experienced surgeon with good knowledge of RLN anatomical characteristics and skilled surgical techniques was needed.

Objective To establish a rat model of acute lung injury (ALI) induced by intraperitoneal injection of pancreatitis associated ascitic fluids (PPAF) and perforative peritonitis ascitic fluids (PAAF).A secondary objective is to study the non-specificity of acute lung injury induced by PAAF.Methods Acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) model and perforative peritonitis (PP) model were established in 120 rats,from which the PAAF and PPAF were collected.Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into three groups:normal saline (NS) group,PAAF group,and PPAF group.Within each group,they were randomly sacrificed at 7h and 12h of surgery.The pathological severity of the lung injury,wet/dry ratio,MPO (myeloperoxidase) in lung,and apoptosis rate of pneumocytes were evaluated and analyzed.Results Lung injury,wet/dry ratio,MPO in lungs,and cell apoptosis were significantly higher in the PAAF group and PPAF group than in the NS group (P＜0.01).However,there was no significant difference between PAAF group and PPAF group (P＞0.05).Conclusions Both PAAF and PPAF can induce acute lung injury in rats by intraperitoneal injection.However,the acute hung injury induced by PAAF has limited specificity.
