Objective To analyze the efficacy of umbilical one trocar laparoscopic appendectomy (UOTLA) in treatment of complicated appendicitis in children. Methods Clinical data of 78 cases of children patients with complicated appendicitis from January 2012 to October 2015 was summarized, including 44 cases as UOTLA group received umbilical one trocar laparoscopic appendectomy, 34 cases as OA group received open appendectomy. Then statistically analyzed all the patients' operation time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative abdominal abscess, incision infection, early inflammatory intestinal obstruction and pain level. Results The laboratory test results of C reaction protein (CRP) had no significant difference between the two groups, while peripheral white blood cell count decreased more significantly in UOTLA group than that in OA group; the operation time of UOTLA group was shorter than that in OA group with no statistical difference [(66.59 ± 33.24) vs (72.86 ± 30.36) min, P > 0.05], but postoperative hospital stay was shorter [(8.21 ± 1.67) vs (9.21 ± 2.01) d, P < 0.05]. Abdominal abscess after operation: 3 cases in UOTLA group, while 1 case in OA group (P > 0.05); incision infection: 6 cases in UOTLA group, 9 cases in OA group (P > 0.05); early inflammatory intestinal obstruction: 1 cases in UOTLA group, 5 cases in OA group (P > 0.05); the pain level, postoperative recovery time was significantly shorter in UOTLA group compared with OA group (P < 0.05). The average expenses comparison of the two groups has no statistical difference [(10639.37 ± 2970.92) vs (10765.04 ± 2902.64) yuan, P > 0.05]. Conclusion UOTLA is safe and effective for complicated appendicitis in children due to minimally invasive, less pain and faster recovery without significant increase in the cost and postoperative complications. It can be applied in children with purulent, perforated appendicitis and gangrene, perforated appendicitis and other complicated appendicitis.

Objective To explore the role of ERK1/2 in the central pathogenesis of migraine.Methods Healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:normal group (group C),sham operation group(group C),migraine model group(group M),DMSO group (group D)and PD-98059group (PD group),with 12 rats in each group.The extracellular discharge frequency in the spinal trigeminal nucleus was recorded and ERK1/2 phosphorylation was tested.Results (1) The percentage of extracellular discharge frequency change:Two hours after treatment,the percentage of discharge frequency change was (325.9±47.32)％.The percentage of extracellula discharge frequency change in group M (325.9±47.3)％ was higher than that in group N (100.0± 0.0) ％ and group C(107.3± 16.4)％.There was no significant difference in the percentage of discharge frequency change between group D(319.3±42.5) ％ and group M (325.9±47.3) ％.The percentage of discharge frequency change in group PD(218.5±31.7)％ was lower than that in group M(325.9±47.3)％ and group D(319.3± 42.5)％.(2) ERK1/2 phosphorylation:the ERK1/2 phosphorylation in group M and group D was higher than that in group N and group C.There was no significant difference in ERK1/2 phosphorylation between group D and group M.The ERK1/2 phosphorylation in group PD was lower than the other four groups.Conclusion During the process of central sensitization to migraine,neuronal excitability and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were increased.ERK1/2 inhibitor (PD98059) reduced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and neuronal excitability.These indicated that ERK1/2 may play a role in central sensitization of migraine in rats.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of the sleep quality and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and analyze the different effects of sleep quality on HRQoL among young and middle-aged people.Methods:A cross-sectional study recruited 1 976 participants.All participants completed a self-designed questionnaire for the adults' general condition, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Short-Form health survey (SF-36). All participants were divided into 3 age groups: 18-29-year-old group( n=1 148), 30-44-year-old group( n=586) and 45-59-year-old group ( n=242). SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Chi-square test was used to analyze the general characteristics of the three age groups.Non-parametric test was used to analyze the scores of the three age groups in different dimensions of sleep quality. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the mean scores of the three age groups in different dimensions of HRQoL. Stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the effect of sleep quality on HRQoL among the three groups after control the confounding factors such as marital status, education, smoking, drinking and exercise habits and past medical history. Results:In terms of sleep quality, the total PSQI scores of 18-29-year-old, 30-44-year-old and 45-59-year-old groups(4(2, 6), 4(2, 6), 4(2, 6)) showed statistically significant differences ( Z=10.951, P=0.004). In terms of HRQoL, there were statistically significant differences in physical component summary scores (18-29-year-old: 82.51±12.62, 30-44-year-old: 80.72±13.63, 45-59-year-old: 82.04±13.07, F=3.667, P=0.026) and mental component summary scores(18-29-year-old: 76.09±15.46, 30-44-year-old: 77.20±16.14, 45-59-year-old: 81.82±14.14, F=13.649, P<0.001) among young and middle-aged people in different age groups.Regression analysis found that daytime dysfunction was an independent influencing factor for HRQoL in young and middle-aged population ( β=-0.308--0.425, all P<0.01). Sleep disorders significantly decreased Physical Component Summary of HRQoL in young-aged people ( β=-0.127--0.215, all P<0.01). The use of hypnotic drugs significantly reduced the scores in the physiological field in the young adults aged 30-44 ( β=-0.076, P<0.05). The duration of sleep significantly decreased the scores in the mental domain of young adults aged 30-44 ( β=-0.112, P<0.01). Subjective sleep quality was an independent factor that significantly decreased HRQoL in young adults aged 18-29 and 30-44 years ( β=-0.089--0.169, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Sleep quality and HRQoL of young and middle-aged people in different age groups show different characteristics.The effect of sleep quality on HRQoL is different among people in different ages.Taking targeted interventions for people of different ages to improve the sleep quality may be an effective way to improve their HRQoL.

ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze the distribution of artery involvement above the aortic arch and differences incidence of cerebral ischemic in patients with Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) by color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI).MethodsA total of 84 cases (aged from 11 to 70 years old, median age 39 years old) continuous observed from August 2005 to June 2013 were included in this study. All patients were detected by CDFI and confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and clinical examination. The distribution of the involved arteries were analyzed.ResultsA total of 924 vessels (84 patients) was detected, 352 (38.1%) arteries involved inflammatory lesions. The prevalence rate of female was higher than male (92.9% and 7.1%) significantly. The symptoms of cerebral ischemic included dizziness, syncope, TIA, amaurosis etc. The involvement rate of common carotid artery (CCA) was the highest (94.0%), followed by the subclavian arterythe (SA) (82.1%). The detecting rate of bilateral CCA was higher than that of bilateral SA, 75% and 50% (χ2=15.732,P=0.003), respectively. The rate of combined lesions of CCA and SA were higher in left (64.3%) than the right 56% (χ2=12.777,P=0.001). Most patients had multiple vascular (≥ 3
vessels) diseases (69.1%). No significant difference was found in the incidence of cerebral ischemia symptoms in patients with bilateral CCA or SA lesions (74.6% with78.6%) (χ2=0.219,P=0.411). No significant difference was found inthe patients with left or right CCA combined with SA lesions (76.5% with 76.4% ,χ2=1.230, P=0.602) also. The incidence of cerebral ischemia for greater than 3 vessel disease was significantly higher than less vessels (69.1% with 30.9%) (χ2=6.674,P=0.010).ConclusionThe study in the distribution of aortic arch vascular lesion for the patients with Takayasu arteritis by CDFI is valuable for the early detection and treatment of vascular lesions, and decresing the incidence of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
