Objective To evaluate the role of double stapling technique in low rectal anastomosis that can save anus.Methods 114 patients with low rectal cancer from June 1994 to January 2002 were treated by low anterior resection of the rectal carcinoma in which the double stapling technique was used,were valuated and the experience was presented.Results Operations of all the 114 patients were successful. Complication included anastomotic fistula in 4 patients (3.5%)and anastomotic stenosis in 5 patients (4.4%) and they were healed by irrigating ?draining the wound and enlarging anus respectively.Conclusion The low anterior resection of the low rectal carcinoma which can save anus becomes safe and time-saving .

OBJECTIVE To investigate t he attitude of endocrinology physicians to clinical conversion and substitution of insulin drugs ，and to provide basis for improving the centralized procurement program of insulin. METHODS The proportion of convertible and substitutable insulin recognized by endocrinology physicians was investigated by questionnaire from 4 dimensions： intergenerational level ，bargaining group level ，common name level and brand/specification level. The subjects were endocrinology physicians in the third grade class A general hospitals in Nanchang. RESULTS A total of 89 questionnaires were successfully distributed，accounting for 80.2％ of the on-the-job endocrinology physicians （111 in total ）in the third grade class A general hospitals in Nanchang. Eighty-nine questionnaires were collected ，one of which was invalid ，and the effective rate was 98.9％. At the intergenerational level ，93.2％ of endocrinology physicians preferred insulin analogues. At the bargaining group level ，the weighted average of the convertible ratio between group 3 and group 4 approved by physicians was 63.9％. At the levels of common name and brand/specification ，the weighted averages of convertible proportion of each group were more than 70％. CONCLUSIONS The method of insulin grouping in Wuhan is reasonable which can complete clinical conversion and substitution of insulin in the group safely. It is suggested to cancel long-acting human insulin group. The weighted average of the proportion of convertible and substitutable drugs in the group is high. It is suggested to increase the agreed purchase volume of insulin and conduct“volume price linked ”negotiations. When the surveyed physicians choose the initial treatment scheme of insulin ，they pay more attention to the factors such as efficacy and safety ，so the replacement of insulin should be based on the clinical efficacy and drug safety.
