Objective To evaluate the feasibility and the safety of endoscopic closure for acute colon perforations with novel successive endoclips in animal model. Methods Approximately 1. 5 to 2 cm colonic full-thickness resections were created with an electrotome in 3 Ba-Ma pigs that were under general anesthesia and were closed with the conventional endoclips and novel successive endoclips respectively. The procedure time and the efficacy of each endoclip were recorded. After the procedure,the general condition and physiological indicators were carefully monitored. After a follow-up of 1 week,the pigs were euthanized for an endoscopic observation of the healing condition and the residual endoclips. A postmortem examination was performed to observe the abdominal infection and incision condition. Transverse sections of the colon across the site of perforation were taken for histopathologic examination to assess the healing process. Results All the colonic perforation models in three pigs were established successfully. Endoscopic closure for acute colon perforation with two kinds of endoclips was technically successful in all 3 pigs. The mean time of the procedure with successive endoclip was less than that with the conventional endoclip(54. 0 seconds VS 91. 9 seconds,P<0. 001),but the successful release rate of the successive endoclip was lower than that of the conventional endoclip without significant difference[62. 5%(15/ 24)VS 14/ 16,P= 0. 17].All the ani-mals survived without infection and hemorrhage. Five perforations demonstrated signs of healing,whereas one closed with the novel successive endoclips failed to heal completely. Conclusion Endoscopic closure for a-cute colon perforations with novel successive endoclips is effective and safe. The novel successive endoclip has the advantage of saving time,but it needs to be further improved and perfected to satisfy the clinical need.

Objective To evaluate the long-term outcome of fully covered self-expandable metal stents(FCSEMS)for the treatment of benign biliary strictures(BBS). Methods Between June 2008 and September 2013, 68 patients with BBS receiving endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and FCSEMS placement were retrospectively enrolled. Data of endoscopic treatment, stricture resolution and recurrence were collected, and related risk factors were analyzed. Results FCSEMSs were successfully placed in all patients and removed in 93.4%(57/61). The median stent duration was 9.0(range 0.2-37.1)months. Stricture resolution occurred in 74.2%(46/62)patients. During median follow-up of 54.0 (range 2.5-96.0)months,stricture recurrences were seen in 16.7%(6/36)patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that distance between stricture and hepatic bifurcation of less than 1.5 cm(P=0.034,OR=6.395, 95%CI:1.153-35.464), and stent migration(P= 0.024, OR= 0.153, 95%CI:0.030-0.782)were significant risk factors for stricture resolution. Meanwhile, the stricture length longer than 1.0 cm(P=0.028, HR = 6.766, 95% CI:1.233-37.122)was a significant risk factor for stricture recurrence. Conclusion Endoscopic treatment combined with FCSEMS can achieve excellent efficacy in resolving BBS with low recurrence rate. However, location and length of BBS, as well as stent migration may impair its effectiveness.

Objective To detect cancer-related biomarkers for early diagnosis of biliary tract carcinoma. Methods Bile and serums were obtained from patients with histopathologically proven malignant or benign biliary diseases, and clinical data of patients were recorded. Two-dimensional liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(2D-LC-MS/MS)was applied to detect the differential protein profiles in the bile. Western blot was used to validate the results in the biles and serums. Results Ten differential protein profiles were detected in 4 protein groups. Among them, the expression of haptoglobin significantly increased in the bile of patients with malignancy. This result was further verified using Western blot. Conclusion Haptoglobin may be a potential biomarker for biliary tract carcinoma.

According to a document issued by the General Office of National Health Commission, "one person, one diagnosis, and one room" is required in the process of outpatient consultation. However, the patient will need to go to another room for dressing change after the doctor checks the wound if sticking to the conventional layout of current wound repair specialist outpatient clinic in hospitals and following the regulation of "separation of diagnosis and treatment". To allow a patient walking back and forth with the exposed wounds to different clinics or going to another clinic for dressing change with the original dressing reapplied to the wound is against the regulation of nosocomial infection control and the principle of sterility. To ensure that the layout of the outpatient clinic in the wound repair outpatient department not only conforms to the principle of "one person, one diagnosis, and one room", but also meets the characteristics of the diagnosis and treatment process of chronic wounds, this paper proposes the layout of "large space and small partition" in the wound repair clinic.

【Objective】 To investigate and analyze the current situation of the human resources as well as blood collection and supply of blood banks of Zhejiang Province, so as to understand the problems existing in the development of human resources and put forward suggestions. 【Methods】 Questionnaires were issued to Blood Center of Zhejiang Province, municipal central blood stations, and county-level central blood banks to investigate the relevant data in 2015 and 2019. Meanwhile, some data were obtained through the Zhejiang Blood Management Information System (BIS3.0), symposiums, and querying medical service data. Statistical analysis was carried out. 【Results】 Among the 28 blood banks, filled the questionnaires, 927 personnel were in accordance with the authorized strength, accounting for 62.26% (927/1 489), and 1069 health technicians, accounting for 71.519% (1 060/1 489). From 2015 to 2019, the annual growth rate of human resources in blood banks was 2.02%, lower than the annual growth rate of whole blood collection volume 4.83% and the annual growth rate of clinical blood supply (red blood cell) 4.82%, lagging behind the annual growth rate of 6.55%, 8.71% and 12.36% in the number of diagnoses, inpatients and surgeries in the hospitals across the province. The average annual growth rate of doctors and nurses in blood banks was 0.17% and 1.67%, lower than that of licebsed doctors and registered nurses of the province, which was 6.78% and 8.27%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 With the development trend of blood collection and supply, the personnel allocation and the proportion of health technicians of blood banks across Zhejiang Province is insufficient. It is suggested to establish a manpower allocation standard suitable to the business volume, give priority to properly solvement of the current employment, strengthen training, and improve the efficiency of physical examination consultation, testing and phlebotomy positions.
