Objective:To explore the effect of total parenteral nutrition and combined resection of involved organs on gastric cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 67 patients with advanced gastric cancer who had accepted total parenteral nutrition(TPN)and combined resection of involved organs between June,2001 and November,2006 were reviewed and compared with no TPN patients. Results: Combined resection organs included spleen and pancreas tail(19 cases), spleen(12 cases), gallbladder(8 cases), transverse colon(7 cases), etc. No patient died in hospital in both TNP group and no TNP group. Compared with the control group, the levels of blood transferrin, albumin, and natural killer cells increased in TPN group in 7 days after operation (P

The red cell deformability (RCD) has been taken as a diagnostic aid in recent years. The dilute red cell suspension passes through the silicon microch annels under constant suction pressure. Such three parameters of RCD are measure d as IF (filtration index), and The results show that the above-mentioned parameters can reflect the changes of cell rheological characteristics from dif ferent aspects. With the observation of the flow passage, the rehological charac teristics can be evaluated accurately and comprehensively.

The potential problems of QA (quality assurance) and safety control of medical equipment in hospital were analyzed. On this base, this paper developed the testing system for the performance tests and the safety inspections of medical equipment in hospital, and discusses the results and the problems existing in the running systems.

Objective To study the effects on tissue CT number caused by scan protocols.Methods The phantom was repeatedly scanned in different protocols by changing only one of parameters,such as X-ray tube voltage,mAs and recon kernel,while other parameters were ketp unchanged.The CT number of different materials in phantom were measured and analyzed.Results The CT numbers of tissues changed remarkably with the tube voltage and had different relativity for different tissues.The CT numbers had positive correlation with kV for such maierials as polyethyle,lexan,perspex,but for teflon the correlation was negative.The mAs and recon kernel had no effects on CT number.Conclusions The CT number of tissue changes with scanning X-ray tube voltage,so the setting of scan parameters should be taken into account in image diagnosis and radiotherapy.

Objective In order to know nurses'congnition of reporting adverse events and errors voluntarily by questionnaire,and then analyze the related factors. Methods Investigated 275 nurses from 25 hospitals in Guangxi Province by self-desinged questionnaire to know their cognition about reporting adverse events and errors voluntarily,analyzed the datum of invetigation. Results There was different ideas about reporting adverse events and errors voluntarily in nurses with different professional title and duty.Nurses'attitude was different under the different system of reporting adverse events and errors. Conclusions The safety awarness of nurses should be strengthened.The existing reporting system must be imported. It is necessary to establish a comprehensive reporting system of care mistakes and adverse events.

Objective To study the radiation dose distribution in the X-ray room,and provide the strategy of radiation protection for the medical staff and the patient’s nursing who had to enter the room while the X-ray was exposing.Methods The thermolumi-nescent dosemeters(TLDs)was placed around the center of the X-ray tube with the same level of the bed.Then,exposure parame-ters,including the X-ray tube voltage value and the field of view,were changed for different groups while exposing.All of the TLDs were taken back to the lab for analysis.Results The differences between the two groups which had the same distance in different di-rections were statistically significant (P <0.01).With the same radiographic condition and direction,the radiation dose on the site of 10 cm from X-ray tube center was the maximum,while the site of 120 cm was the minimum.With the same radiographic condition and distance,the radiation dose on the anode side of the X-ray tube in the room was relative lower,while the site behind the X-ray tube was relative higher.With the same voltage value,distance and direction,the same sites that had the smaller FOV(34 cm×34 cm) received lower radiation dose than those with larger FOV(52.6 cm× 52.6 cm).Meanwhile,the sites with the voltage of 70 kV re-ceived the lower radiation dose than that with the voltage value of 120 kV.Conclusion In the X-ray room,the medical staff and the patient’s nursing can choose the area on the right side(anode side),keep far away from the X-ray tube center,avoid the rear of the X-ray tube and the cathodic direction of the X-ray tube to reduce the radiation dose.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of primary retroperitoneal tumors (PRT).Methods:All PRT cases undergoing surgical resection during recent 10 years at our center were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Tumors in all 92 cases were of malignant in 64 cases, borderline in 10 and benign PRT in 18, among which liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma were the most common types. The tumor size and Ki-67 was significantly higher in malignant compared to borderline or benign PRT. The multifocal rate was 50%, en-bloc resection rate was 72%, R 0 rate was 61%, and combined organ resection rate was 41% in malignant PRTs. Small intestine and the colon were the most frequently resected organs. During 9.3 years of follow-up period, the 1-, 3- and 5-year cumulative reoperation rate of malignant PRT was 10.6%, 44.7% and 62.9%, respectively, and the median re-operation period was 4.0 years. The 1-, 3- and 5-year cumulative survival rate was 90.1%, 73.0% and 64.2%, respectively, and the median survival period was 6.1 years. None of postoperative borderline or benign PRT recurred or needed re-operation or deceased. Conclusion:Most of PRTs were malignant, presenting themsehies as a challenge to surgery with unfaror prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the preliminary efficacy of video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT) for complex anal fistula.

METHODSClinical data of 11 consecutive patients with complex anal fistula undergoing VAAFT in our department from May to July 2015 were reviewed. VAAFT was performed to manage the fistula under endoscope without cutting or resection.

RESULTSVAAFT was successfully performed in all the 11 patients. The internal ostium was closed using mattress suture in 10 cases, and Endo-GIA stapler in 1 case. The mean operative time was (42.0±12.4) min, mean hospital stay was (4.1±1.5) d. Complication included bleeding and perianal infection in 1 case respectively. After 1 to 3.2 months follow-up, success rate was 72.7%(8/11), and no fecal incontinence was observed.

CONCLUSIONVideo-assisted anal fistula treatment is an effective, safe and minimally invasive surgical procedure for complex anal fistula with preservation of anal sphincter function.
